wheel chasing and she spoke to our Danny new the 200-year-old British race just won again by the North Carolian UC tumbling in a red sweatshirt are you thinking about strategy are you thinking dear God may this be over already probably the second one two years ago was the first time ABY lampy won this historic competition in Glouster England where each spring men and women in separate races gracefully chase this nearly 10 lb wheel of cheese down a 200 yard Hill one of the steepest Hills in England 45 Dees and then the winner gets to take home this wheel of traditional double Glouster cheese it’s it’s a very pungent cheese you need to prepare it with things Abby says she had been watching videos of the race for years and when she happened to be in Europe that summer the lifelong athlete knew she wanted to finally give it a whirl or uh 400 whirls winning was one thing but what really shocked Abby was the reception when she returned home to Raleigh people were like we came just to see you I’m like what and even though she says she was pretty nervous this past week Abby returned for round two and absolutely smoked GED the competition what’s it like discovering a random superpower that you might be the best at in the world um it’s very unique I just have no regard for my life and I just risk Limb and body and I end up with the cheat for the record people have gotten hurt in this race it’s clearly dangerous but Abby says that thankfully mostly just her neck was a little sore the next day oh to be 23 again guys she made it look like a breeze I’d be hurt for months that’s what’s making you as in America this have a great [Music] day right now on America this morning Hunter Biden goes on trial what to expect today as the president’s son is tried on federal gun charges meanwhile days after the guilty verdicts in his criminal trial former president Trump with a new suggestion on how the Supreme Court should get involved in his case what’s being called a significant shark attack at a popular California beach we hear from the Lifeguard who raced to the rescue Dr Anthony fouchy back in the hot seat today what he’s saying about the response to the co Pand pmic and the infamous lab in Wuhan China plus why his private email account could be the subject of a fiery Congressional hearing a serious Plumbing problem at the space station the solution to the toilet trouble and the perfect timing kitlyn Clark is slammed on the court how the league is now clarifying the foul that was called What A Catch the couple who says they went fishing and found $100,000 in cash and Pat s Jack saying goodbye to Will of Fortune his message as he prepares for one final spin from ABC News this is America this morning good Monday morning everyone I’m Andrew diber good morning to you I’m ran and Ali we want to begin with the legal woses facing former president Trump and President Biden’s son Hunter today Hunter Biden’s federal trial begins with jury selection and as the White House watches that case former president Trump is responding to the guilty verdict in his criminal trial claiming there could be a a quote breaking point for the public if he is sentenced to home confinement or even prison ABC’s Christian Cordo has the latest on both of these cases Chan good morning Ranon good morning as Hunter Biden’s trial gets underway today former president Trump has a new suggestion when it comes to his own criminal case this morning former president Trump is suggesting the Supreme Court weigh in on his felony conviction in New York where a jury found him guilty of falsifying business records judge Maran will sentence Trump July 11th 4 days before the National Convention Trump on social media last night took issue with that timing asking highly conflicted judge Maran will make a decision which will determine the future of our nation Trump then suggesting the United States Supreme Court must decide my revenge will be success and I mean that Trump promised Revenge during an interview over the weekend saying this when asked about the possibility of facing house arest or even prison time I think it would be tough for the public to take you know at a certain point there’s a Breaking Point this is another dangerous appeal to violence and it is yet another reason why Americans are going to decide they don’t want a convicted felon in the Oval Office Trump also acknowledged he does not sleep a lot these days I don’t say that as a Badge of Courage and a lot of people I don’t sleep but and they maybe do um I I rarely eat breakfast I don’t it’s funny I love food but I don’t necessar I’m too anxious experts say it’s highly unlikely Trump will get prison time and with a lengthy appeal process expected his sentencing will likely be delayed until after November’s election I think when you look at the jury instructions here uh judge Maran essentially uh I wouldn’t say rigged the deliberations but certainly steered the jury towards the verdict that he clearly wanted but polls show most independent voters believe Trump got a fair trial and one in six Republicans 16% say Trump should end his campaign because of his conviction Trump has railed against the justice department claiming President Biden weaponized the agency against him but today prosecutors from the justice department will be in a Delaware courtroom for jury selection in Hunter Biden’s trial the president’s son faces three felony gun charges accused of falsely swearing on a form that he was not a drug user when he bought a gun in 2018 attorney general mayor Garland appointed special counsel David Weiss a trump appointed da to the case Hunter’s lawyers could cast doubt on who exactly filled out the form and whether Hunter Biden was even an addict at the time the uniqueness of this case is that Hunter Biden’s addiction is very public uh just think about it this way how would you know if someone had an addiction that’s usually a very private uh issue jury selection could last up to 5 days if convicted Hunter could face up to 25 years in prison but nonviolent firsttime offenders rarely get serious prison time for gun charges Andrew Chan thank you fire crews are getting the upper hand on a wildfire burning about 60 miles east of San Francisco it’s already burned about 22 square miles but it’s now 50% contained families in about 100 homes that were forced to evacuate have since been allowed to return strong winds and extreme heat in the area helped fuel the Flames over the weekend the other big story from California this morning a serious shark attack at a popular Beach a California man is recovering from what’s being called a significant shark attack North of San Diego he grabbed a few others ran down um without knowing what he was running toward and responding to lifeguards say the 46-year-old was swimming off delmare Beach around 9:00 a.m. when the shark bit him there was an initial bump and then there was a bite and then there was the shark still in range potentially like coming back toward him and him having to like reach out and and kind of defend and that’s where where the hand and arm lacerations were sustaining the victim was swimming with the group they brought him to shore where lifeguards jumped into action there was definitely a lot of blood in the water and so um we started pulling him in um a surfer came over and gave us his board and so put him on the board and I jumped on top of him and started paddling in and he was in stable condition after surgery with injuries to his torso arm and hand experts say the likelihood of an encounter is low but sharks are coming closer to shore on both coasts because of cleaner Waters and booming Bait fish populations officials in some beach towns are now using drones to track sharks some with thermal imaging and capabilities to drop flotation devices experts are analyzing the DNA for the man’s wet suit they’re trying to determine the size and

temperatures begin heating up in the southwest and sum are like in the Northeast and finally the American dominating the sport of cheese wheel chasing and she spoke to our Danny new the nearly 200-year-old British race just won again by the North Carolian UC tumbling in a red sweatshirt are you thinking about strategy are you thinking dear God may this be over already probably the second one two years ago was the first time Abby lampy won this historic competition in Glouster England where each spring men and women in separate races gracefully chase this nearly 10 lb wheel of cheese down a 200 yd Hill one of the steepest Hills in England 45° and then the winner gets to take home this wheel of traditional double Glouster cheese it’s it’s a very pungent cheese you need to it with things Abby says she had been watching videos of the race for years and when she happened to be in Europe that summer the lifelong athlete knew she wanted to finally give it a whirl or uh 400 whirls winning was one thing but what really shocked Abby was the reception when she returned home to Raleigh people were like we came just to see you I’m like what and even though she says she was pretty nervous this past week Abby returned for round two and absolutely smoked gooded the competition what’s it like discovering a random superpower that you might be the best at in the world um it’s very unique I just have no regard for my life and I just risk limb and body and I end up with the cheat for the record people have gotten hurt in this race it’s clearly dangerous but Abby says that thankfully mostly just her neck was a little sore the next day oh to be 23 again guys she made it look like a breeze I’d be hurt for months that’s what’s making you in America this have a great day [Music] [Music] it’s Monday June 3rd the Trump trial has ended now it’s the Biden family’s turn we start [Music] here Hunter Biden Gets Ready To Face his own criminal trial the question at hand is whether he kind of knowingly lied on federal forms there are lots of differences here from someone on the ballot but parts of the Biden defense could sound awfully familiar meanwhile you better believe Trump is watching these poll numbers the polling shifted two points in Biden’s favor the reaction from American voters over the weekend and Mexico elects a president after the most violent election cycle in its history why Biden and Trump are both anxious to meet the winner from ABC News this is start here I’m Brad [Music] milky well welcome back to another week but this week you now live in a world where the former president and the presumptive Republican nominee to be the next president is a convicted felon and this can’t be allowed to happen to other presidents it should never be allowed to happen in the future but this is far beyond me this is bigger than Trump this is bigger than me this is bigger than my presidency When Donald Trump was convicted of fraud by a jury of 12 New Yorkers last week it threatened to upend what has really been a campaign on a knife’s edge this weekend Trump’s lead attorney admitted that while unlikely it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that his client is sent to prison I think we have a lot of fair complaints with the way that this trial was conducted and I think ultimately president Trump will be Vindicated on appeal well if a convicted former president is a big deal where would a current president’s son rank on the list I’m here today to acknowledge that I have made mistakes in my life so you might remember this or maybe not but a year ago Hunter Biden the son of President Joe Biden was in the federal courtroom ready to strike a deal with prosecutors he’d been accused of various tax crimes along with a felony gun charge and under this deal as long as he admitted to the misdemeanors and he stayed out of trouble for 2 years this felony would be wiped from his record but in the courtroom like on the day they’re expected to Hash this out the judge expresses doubts about the plea agreement from the start of the hearing federal judge Mar ell and Nora poked holes in that deal calling it atypical even questioning whether it was constitutional the two sides don’t appear to be able to agree on certain terms and within minutes this entire deal collapsed which is why today Hunter Biden is about to begin his federal trial in the middle of his dad’s reelection campaign let’s start today with ABC’s White House correspondent Mary Alis Parks Mar Alis refresh your time right can you just remind us what this case is even about yeah we’re going to see a jury selection get underway at the heart of this case BR is really how Hunter Biden obtained a gun and um ammunition and some accessories um back in 2018 because at the time prosecutors are saying he was struggling with addiction and using drugs so the question at hand is whether he kind of knowingly lied on federal forms about his addiction and claimed that he was not using drugs in order to obtain a gun in order to buy a gun and it’s the gun purchase that is really the center of this here but you’re exactly right he had hoped to avoid Court altogether on this there was a real possibility of him avoiding any prosecution on this charge but that obviously that um plea deal fell through in a really contentious hearing and so here we are fast forward to this summer and he’s going to court well and after that plea deal fell apart the Attorney General decided that the prosecutor the US attorney should actually be a special counsel which gives you more latitude I guess do we know how prosecutors are now going to try to portray Hunter Biden to these jurors yeah I mean look he only had the gun for two weeks but prosecutors are saying they’re going to use his own words against him I mean he wrote A A Memoir about struggling with addiction and in the depths of my addiction I was extremely irresponsible with my finances the prosecutors also say that they have a text message that allegedly um in his own words he allegedly says that he was uh smoking crack cocaine uh just days um from buying that gun so they want to say this is a really cut and dry simple case and I’ve talked to some legal experts um who who kind of agree right like you fill out a form you check a box what did he tell the person when he applied for that firearm uh what did he put in that document and then did he obtain that firearm for the 11 days uh that everyone is saying he did legal experts have told me it’s very unique that prosecutors would bring a charge like this I I would say that these types of charges are not very much a priority also uh the uniqueness of this case is that Hunter Biden’s addiction is very public frankly it’s just so rare that you would have evidence that someone was potentially lying about using drugs when they were sort of filling form um but even though it might be unique you know a lot of legal officers have said that it might be pretty cut and dry now of course they’re going to amount to Big defense like but M Alice can you just make your defense these prosecutors are dumb like they shouldn’t have brought these charges like that’s if you’re at trial that seems like a rough case to make well actually you can like I mean that’s very much what I think they will do I mean they’re going to say that prosecutors shouldn’t have brought these charges but look it’s not it’s not going to just be that we’ve also gotten indications from some pre-trial kind of statements from Biden’s attorneys that they’re gonna kind of cast doubt on those forms themselves it it it turns out that um it’s not as simple as one guy uh filling out a form there’s actually evidence that um some of the shop employees actually kind of refilled out the forms um later so kind of potentially casting doubt for any jury about who exactly checked these boxes and more um kind of an idea and this will be interesting kind of a jury select ction if people in their own lives um I would imagine can relate to someone with addiction I’m wondering if this sort of last argument I’m going to bring up might hit home with some people we we have indications that defense is going to basically say look he had just at this moment finished a rehab program he was living with someone who was clean in that moment did he think that he was an addict using drugs you know addicts often um fall off the wagon get back on the wagon how do you say that someone felt in that one moment um that they were lying about being an addict especially when actually in that one moment there’s evidence that he was really working to get clean so um that’s kind of an interesting argument I don’t know how that lands with the jury um probably depends on people’s personal experiences I would imagine and I’m thinking about all this in comparison of course with what’s now happened with Donald Trump I mean just from the from the 30,000 foot view Mar Alice how big of a deal is all of this in an election year at this moment oh Brad we don’t know right like I have no doubt that Republicans will use Hunter’s case um as a way to try to deflect from the fact that that President Trump is the first ever former commander-in-chief to now also be a convicted felon uh the reality is it’s not the same Hunter Biden is not on the ballot his dad is he’s actually been very open and public about his struggle with addiction I think that changes things it changes the politics around it um and we don’t know how what voters are going to think when they actually cast their vote in November but we do know is that Hunter Biden will be in the news because of course it’s not just these charges he’s also facing um tax charges and most likely there there will be a second trial before November um with Hunter Biden and and so it it’s going to be in the headlines and voters will be thinking about both right again because of this plea deal that could have been and wasn’t uh fascinating stuff here as we start the week Mary Alice parks at the White House thank you thanks Brad now while we get ready for this trial with Hunter Biden we can continue to examine the impact of the 34 guilty verdicts against Donald Trump in New York his legal team says they’ll appeal a sentence could come just days before the Republican National Convention the real question in all this though is whether Americans American voters actually see him any differently well this weekend we got our first glimpses of polls asking those exact questions gayen Dro is with our partners at 538 where he hosts the 538 politics podcast gayen what are we seeing so far yeah Brad we have gotten some polls back since the guilty verdict came down and first and foremost what we’re seeing from this ABC News ipsos poll is that half of Americans 50% believe that the guilty verdict was correct another 49% basically the same say that this is a campaign ending result for him that he should end his campaign as a result I will also say here that a similar percentage of Americans 47% say that the charges against Trump Trump were politically motivated so you might be thinking okay that’s a little weird folks see these charges as politically motivated but also think that he should have been found guilty and I don’t actually think that’s contradictory if you spent time thinking about this case and hearing about the ins and outs of the district attorney of Manhattan Alvin Bragg who brought the case and the specifics of the case that the prosecution put on it was like the first time we’d ever seen these types of charges brought against somebody and of course Alvin Bragg is a stated Democrat who talked about the possibility of bringing charges against Trump when he was running for office this is a partisan elected office in Manhattan and so it’s not crazy to come to the conclusion that had the former president not been the former president maybe these charges wouldn’t have been brought but once they were once you hear the case it also might make sense that he would be guilty given the case of the prosecution put together and so some times people will look at these polls and say oh what are Americans thinking I look at polls like this and I say actually sometimes there’s quite a lot of wisdom in the crowds in fact that’s often times what we believe at 538 when looking at public opinion right like like like both things can be true you’re saying right like we were just talking about this with Hunter Biden where just because it’s a unique prosecution doesn’t mean that you might not be guilty of a crime there but I I guess I’m looking for numbers you’re the numbers guy is there a sense of how much this could actually swing things yeah so I think we’re going to be getting a lot of polling in over the coming week trying to assess whether or not this guilty verdict is going to upend the Dynamics of the presidential election in 2024 some early polling that we saw in particular from Echelon insights which is a highly rated pollster according to 538 pollster ratings is that when looking at a sample the same sample of Americans before and after the guilty verdict in head-to-head polling Biden versus Trump the polling shifted two points in Biden’s favor so that it went from being about an even race to Biden leading by two points and you may think two points what’s the big deal we expect this race to be quite close now we’re still 5 months away from election day and there’s absolutely no guarantee that that will endure but what it does tell us is that far from this idea that oh you know Trump is going to frame himself as being persecuted and sort of convince Americans that actually they should support him with greater enthusiasm as a result of this outcome most Americans are relatively Normy I might say when it comes to these kinds of things they see a presidential candidate who’s now a convicted felon and they say uh I don’t know that I want that person to be president and so it wouldn’t surprise me if we continue to see a small but meaningful shift away from Trump in the head-to-head polling but is yeah that’s the thing is there’s so many examples of of trump doing or saying something that you think would be a death nail for any other campaign and then you hear like slowly but surely like the rest of the Republican Party the rest of his supporters start to par it like kind of the justification for that just no big it’s locker room talk whatever is there a reason to think that this would be any different from any of those perhaps no but I you know as you might guess have more to say on the topic so Mr contrarian yeah the Teflon Dawn moniker I think is inaccurate maybe a better description would be bounce back on the president Bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by m riers we see in the wake of scandals and you could name many things January 6th you might not even call that a scandal but also as you mentioned Access Hollywood comments from Donald Trump that are even drawing fire from the head of the Republican party and others that in the wake of these events Americans sour on the former president and view him more negatively we also see that time and time again while the initial reaction from Republican leadership and Republican voters Maybe negative that often times they come back around so I will be voting for Trump and we could expect that in this case because we’re 5 months out and there are going to be you know bad news cycles for the current president over the next 5 months that may emphasize what Americans don’t like about his policy on the economy or immigration or crime or what have you but I think there’s a broader Dynamic here that we have to keep in mind Americans strongly prefer Trump on the economy inflation immigration crime things like that by in some cases 20 percentage points right nonetheless we find ourselves in a very competitive general election where there’s only about a point or two separating Biden and Trump in the Battleground States and nationally so if Americans strongly prefer Trump on policy why would we be so in such a close election and the answer is in polling that asks Americans whether or not they see Donald Trump fit for the presidency overwhelmingly the response that you get is that Americans view him as corrupt and dangerous and so while he may bounce back from this in the long term and I don’t know because of course the Biden campaign will try to bring this up again and again it’s important to recognize that just part of the enduring dynamics of this race is exactly that Americans view Donald Trump many of them as corrupt and dangerous it’s interesting like voting for him F those things or if you’re in the middle perhaps not voting for him or voting not voting at all that has a cost you’re saying in the long term all right kayen Dro with our partners at 538 thank you so much thank you okay next up on start here Mexico just had its election day and there’s a lot more to talk about here than just historic candidates we’re back in a bit with so much at stake so much on the line more Americans turn here than any other newscast ABC News World News Tonight with David mure America’s number one most watched newscast across all of Television right now there’s just so much happening in our world so much at stake at the start of every morning making sense of it all that’s not always so easy and that’s where we come in Big Morning America we want you to know every morning we’re right here and we got [Music] you now if you’re Joe Biden you probably want voters thinking about Donald Trump’s criminal record right or about his most divisive comments or about how his decisions have affected abortion rights in this country what Biden probably doesn’t want to be a central theme of this campaign is immigration because no matter what you think about how migrants should be treated upon entering this country it is a fact that migration across the US Mexico border absolutely skyrocketed this winter to levels never recorded before well yesterday voters in Mexico went to the polls to for their next president and what’s important to know here is that Mexico’s inauguration day is just before us elections meaning that whoever wins here will be tied at the hip politically to whoever wins in Mexico those two presidents will be a Duo Partners on the immigration debate for the next four years so with that let’s go to ABC’s foreign correspondent Matt Rivers who’s based in Mexico City Matt as I’m saying this we’re still waiting for like official readouts of this result but Mexican voters were choosing between a pretty historic pair of candidates right can you walk me through this race well first and foremost if you’re talking about the two leading candidates in this race no matter who won this was going to be historic because the two leading candidates in this race were both women and that’s massive in a country where historically it has been dominated by a patriarchical society not only in just Civil Society but also in politics itself and now the two leading candidates really throughout this race Claudia Shin blam and SOI galz were women and the entire race the next president of Mexico was going to be a woman that is truly historic so it’s not hyperbole to put this kind of an election uh in Mexican history in historical terms if you’re talking about the candidates themselves cloudia shine bomb certainly more of a household name going into this race she was the former mayor of Mexico City she guided the city through the [Applause] [Music] pandemic we will not submit to any economic or foreign power no matter how powerful it may be but really where she started her rise into National politics was when she hitched her horse to Andres Manuel Lopez orador he’s the current president of Mexico he goes by Amo he’s very popular he is an avowed populist uh and he really picked Claudia Shin bomb to succeed him as it were this is a democracy so you know he’s he basically threw his support behind her he couldn’t anoint her but that really allowed her to capture her party’s nomination and become one of the leading candidates uh in this presidential contest on the other side you have a very interesting person in SOI Gales Ruiz she is a person of very humble roots she talks about that all the time uh she’s from a family with indigenous Roots here in Mexico not something you often see in the ruling political class uh in this country she was kind of leading a coalition of center right parties that really used to be the dominant forces in politics here in Mexico now that’s been replaced by the party of amlo by the party of Claudia Shin bom this is a polarized country not as much as the United States but certainly people are drawing dividing lines in this country and they out come of this election truly historic but wait but but going back to Shin bomb who for all intents and purposes was the far away front runner here if she was sort of the chosen one of omo here if this becomes like an omlo 2.0 presidency what would that mean for the us because you think whoever’s in charge has a profound effect on say like immigration policy 100% this is a country that is a federal republic just like the United States which means the head of state the executive in this case the Mexican president really has a huge effect is the leader on foreign policy and what we’ve seen during the omlo years is a huge willingness to fight with the United States Amo is very much about National sovereignty he talks often about not wanting to be bullied by anyone not wanting any other country to invade his sovereignty but when you’re talking about Mexico the number one foreign policy issue is always the United States how much Mexico decides to enforce its own immigration law how many people they deport every single day has a huge impact on the numbers of people arriving North and Mexico knows that Amo knows that and he hasn’t been afraid to use that kind of thing as leverage in the Diplomatic negotiations that he has engaged with with the United States the big question now with Claudia Shin bomb yes she is his Protege but she has also done things as mayor of Mexico City that didn’t necessarily completely line up with the omo agenda so the question now is is she going to be her own president is she going to be the kind of person who is going to Buck what Amo would have done were he still in office or is she going to realize that without his support she would likely lose a lot of popular support here in Mexico does she feel obligated to carry the omlo Legacy through and through hey can you shed a little bit more light then on on what it’s been like I guess just to run for office in Mexico because I saw I saw a headline from The Wall Street Journal the other day that basically says one of the more common ways to lose your local election in Mexico at this point is to die I mean how common is political violence becoming there it is an absolute crisis Al at the end of the maren candidates closing speech there were gunshots several rounds of gunfire very close and then people started running and Diving to the ground crouching I’ve been here uh for more than 5 years now I covered the midterm elections in 2021 and at the time we were saying wow this was the most violent election cycle in Mexico’s history and yet here we are in 2024 it is now even more violent you’ve seen more than 230 people killed as a result of election related violence the reality of 2024 in Mexico is that if you are involved in politics you are certainly putting your life on the line and I should say where this violence is taking place it is largely taking place at the municipal level not at the state level and the reason why it’s happening at the municipal level is because that is the first level of government that organized crime needs to control in order to operate with impunity in order to grow their operations in order to move people through human smuggling in order to move drugs you need to control the local officials the local candidates the local politicians if you’re starting your career here really young in Mexico especially in some of the states here in Mexico that are most dominated by organized crime you are quite literally risking your life to do so and when you do that if you take an anti- Narco platform if you take an anti-corruption platform and you make that the centerpiece because that is Far and Away the number one issue on voters Minds is Public Safety but the real irony there is that if you do that if you lean into that then you risk becoming a victim of the very system that you are trying to fix and that is the problem here in Mexico in 2024 yeah and that’s a conversation we continue to have in the US too right that that that the dangers of political violence so often are actually the local elections the mayoral races that’s where you actually see the most warnings coming from law enforcement saying this this is what you want to avoid all right uh Matt Rivers there in Mexico thank you so much thank you Brad okay one more quick break when we come back I get angry when my neighbor litters around my house what about 30,000 lb of trash on your lawn get out the home security camera one last thing is next with so much at stake so much on the line more Americans turn here than any other newscast ABC News World News Tonight with David mure America’s

Trump’s criminal hush money trial I’m Olivia Ruben wherever the story is we’ll take you there you’re streaming ABC News live I love stories about Petty neighbors I can’t get enough of them they started painting pictures of pigs on the walls what did you think when you saw those pictures well that they were calling us pigs but if you think people across the fence from each other can get nasty try the folks on either side of a demilitarized zone this weekend South Korea accused its neighbors to the north of sending them balloons full of trash yeah that is the sound of South Korea officials poking through big piles of garbage that arrived in well picture like a mini hot air balloon it’s got a timer on it so these things launch from North Korea they drift South across the DMZ and then they just dump trash on the ground experts estimated that thousands of these balloons went across with 30,000 lbs of garbage dropped over the last week and just as in any other neighbor dispute North Korea says hey we didn’t start this it started when the other guys were jerks to us see for years after the Korean War North and South Korea would use balloons to dump leaflets in each other’s countries The Hope was they could convince regular people to rise up against their respective governments and after a while this started becoming counterproductive like it would infuriate the other countes so much that it would affect negotiations they stopped doing it South Korea has even tried to pass a law to stop their own citizens from sending private balloons this is apparently a big thing among North Korean affectors now in the South and Christian group sending Bibles but just last year that law was deemed unconstitutional which is why in recent weeks Balloons with pamphlets have once again started drifting North and balloons carrying compost and reportedly manure have been winding up in South Koreans backyards so what will South Korea do in response well if you were mad at your neighbor what would you do apparently Kim Jong-un hates K-pop like really hates it he hates the music he hates South Korean dramas calls them all trash well South Korea says if you’re sending us your trash we’re going to blast the sound of K-pop our trash toward you in recent years theyve actually done this they’ve blared K-pop music via loudspeaker into the DMZ sometimes they alternate it with classic anti-north [Music] propaganda this weekend they said they were considering dusting off the woofers and trying this again well overnight North Korea has now said they’re done with the great trash balloon prank for now saying if South Koreans presumably flit scattering they’ll answer back with a hundred times the trash after all somebody’s got to step back because in this neighborly dispute there’s no homeowners association to be found I could feel it the moment I said I like these types of stories you guys are all going to want to send in your terrible neighbor stories aren’t

who raced to the rescue Dr Anthony fouchy back in the hot seat today what he’s saying about the response to the covid pandemic and the infamous lab in Wuhan China plus why is private email account could be the subject of a fiery Congressional hearing a serious Plumbing problem at the space station the solution to the toilet trouble and the perfect timing Caitlyn Clark is slammed on the court how the league is now clarifying the foul that was called What A Catch the couple who says they went fishing and found $100,000 in cash and Pat s Jack saying goodbye to Wheel of Fortune his message as he prepares for one final spin from ABC News this is America this morning good Monday morning everyone I’m Andrew diber good morning to you I’m ran and Aly we want to begin with the legal woses facing former president Trump and President Biden’s son Hunter today Hunter Biden’s federal trial begins with jury selection and as the White House watches that case former president Trump is responding to the guilty verdict in his criminal trial claiming there could be a quote breaking point for the public if he is sentenced to home confinement or even prison ABC’s Christian Cordo has the latest on both of these cases Christian good morning ran and good morning as Hunter Biden’s trial gets underway today former president Trump has a new suggestion when it comes to his own criminal case this morning former president Trump is suggesting the Supreme Court weigh in on his felony conviction in New York where a jury found him guilty of falsifying business records judge Maran will sentence Trump July 11th 4 days before the National Convention Trump on social media last night took issue with that timing asking highly conflicted judge Maran will make a decision which will determine the future of our nation Trump then suggesting the United States Supreme Court must decide my revenge will be success and I mean that Trump promised Revenge during an interview over the weekend saying this when asked about the possibility of facing house arest or even prison time I think it would be for the public to take you know at a certain point there’s a Breaking Point this is another dangerous appeal to violence and it is yet another reason why Americans are going to decide they don’t want a convicted felon in the Oval Office Trump also acknowledged he does not sleep a lot these days I don’t say that as a Badge of Courage you know a lot of people I don’t sleep but and they maybe do um I I rarely eat breakfast I don’t it’s funny I love food but I don’t necessar I’m too anxious experts say it’s highly unlikely Trump will will get prison time and with a lengthy appeal process expected his sentencing will likely be delayed until after November’s election I think when you look at the jury instructions here uh judge Maran essentially uh I wouldn’t say rigged the deliberations but certainly steered the jury towards the verdict that he clearly wanted but polls show most independent voters believe Trump got a fair trial and one in six Republicans 16% say Trump should end his campaign because of his conviction Trump has railed against the justice department claiming president Biden weaponized the agency against him but today prosecutors from the justice department will be in a Delaware courtroom for jury election in Hunter Biden’s trial the president’s son faces three felony gun charges accused of falsely swearing on a form that he was not a drug user when he bought a gun in 2018 attorney general mayor Garland appointed special counsel David Weiss a trump appointed da to the case Hunter’s lawyers could cast doubt on who exactly filled out the form and whether Hunter Biden was even an addict at the time but youque weakness of this case is that Hunter Biden’s addiction is very public uh just think about it this way how would you know if someone had an addiction that’s usually a very private uh issue jury selection could last up to 5 days if convicted Hunter could face up to 25 years in prison but nonviolent firsttime offenders rarely get serious prison time for gun charges Andrew Chan thank you fire crews are getting the upper hand on a wildfire burning about 60 Mi east of San Francisco it’s already burned about 22 Square miles but it’s now 50% contained families in about a 100 homes that were forced to evacuate have since been allowed to return strong winds and extreme heat in the area helped fuel the Flames over the weekend the other big story from California this morning a serious shark attack at a popular Beach a California man is recovering from what’s being called a significant shark attack North of San Diego he grabbed a few others ran down um without knowing what he was running toward and respond to lifeguards say the 46-year-old was swimming off delmare beach around 9:00 a.m. when the shark bit him there was an initial bomb and then there was a bite and then there was the shark still in range potentially like coming back toward him and him having to like reach out and and kind of defend and that’s where where the hand and arm lacerations were sustaining the victim was swimming with the group they brought him to shore where lifeguards jumped into action there was definitely a lot of blood in the water and so um we started pulling him in um a surfer came over and gave us his board and so put him on the board and I jumped on top of him and started paddling in and he was in stable condition after surgery with injuries to his torso arm and hand experts say the likelihood of an encounter is low but sharks are coming closer to shore on both coasts because of cleaner Waters and booming Bait fish populations officials in some beach towns are now using drones to track sharks some with thermal imaging and capabilities to drop flotation devices experts are analyzing the DNA from the man’s wet suit they’re trying to determine the size and the type of shark one expert says it was likely a juvenile great white shark and breaking overnight Mexico has El has elected its first female president former Mexico City mayor Claudia Shin bomb is celebrating a landslide win over the

House Republicans take incorrect as usual Senator you are incorrect almost everything you well no you deny you deny today’s hearing about the government’s handling of the pandemic could be reminiscent of heated exchanges like this fi claims Senator ran Paul’s repeated attacks have put his life and his family’s safety at risk that Kindles the crazies out there and I have life that threats upon my life harassments of my family and my children ahead of the hearing a subcommittee has released a transcript of closed door interviews with fouchy in January in which he was questioned about whether he knew about former colleagues allegedly skirting public records laws in one email exchange a former colleague wrote to another there is no worry about Freedom of Information Act requests Foy is I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail or hand it to him at work or at his house he is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble Dr fouy also acknowledged in the closed door session as he had before publicly that the Wuhan China lab leak hypothesis regarding the origin of covid-19 is one of two likely possibilities but fouchy continued to insist no federal funds were used for research to manipulate the Corona virus to be more transmissible at the facility also in the closed door session fouchy said he agreed with all travel restrictions issued by then then president Trump and his administration some of which were criticized at the time as xenophobic today Dr foui is also expected to face questions about social distancing masking and remote

family’s turn we start here Hunter Biden Gets Ready To Face his own criminal trial the question at hand is whether he kind of knowingly lied on federal forms there are lots of differences here from someone on the ballot but parts of the Biden defense could sound awfully familiar meanwhile you better believe Trump is watching these poll numbers the polling shifted two points in Biden’s favor the reaction from American voters over the weekend and Mexico elects a president after the most violent election cycle in its history why Biden and Trump are both anxious to meet the winner from ABC News this is start here I’m Brad milky [Music] well welcome back to another week but this week you now live in a world where the former president and the presumptive Republican nominee to be the next president is a convicted felon and this can’t be allowed to happen to other presidents it should never be allowed to happen in the future but this is far beyond me this is bigger than Trump this is bigger than me this is bigger than my presidency When Donald Trump was convicted of fraud by a jury of 12 New Yorkers last week it threatened to upend what has really been a campaign on a knife’s edge this weekend Trump’s lead attorney admitted that while unlikely it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that his client is sent to prison I think we have a lot of fair complaints with the way that this trial was conducted and I think ultimately president Trump will be Vindicated on appeal well if a convicted former president is a big deal where would a current president’s son rank on the list I’m here today to acknowledge that I have made mistakes in my life so you might remember this or maybe not but a year ago Hunter Biden the son of President Joe Biden was in a federal courtroom ready to strike a deal with prosecutors he been accused of various tax crimes along with a felony gun charge and under this deal as long as he admitted to the misdemeanors and he stayed out of trouble for 2 years this felony would be wiped from his record but in the courtroom like on the day they’re expected to Hash this out the judge expresses doubts about the plea agreement from the start of the hearing federal judge Mary Ellen Nora poked holes in that deal calling it atypical even questioning whether it was constitutional the two sides don’t appear to be able to agree on certain terms and within minutes this entire deal collapsed which is why today Hunter Biden is about to begin his federal trial in the middle of his dad’s reelection campaign let’s start today with ABC’s White House correspondent Mary Alis Parks Mary Alice refresh your time right can you just remind us what this case is even about yeah we’re going to see a jury selection get underway at the heart of this case brought us really how Hunter Biden obtained a gun and um ammunition and some accessories um back in 2018 because at the time prosecutors are saying he was struggling with addiction and using drugs so the question at hand is whether he kind of knowingly lied on federal forms about his addiction and claimed that he was not using drugs in order to obtain a gun in order to buy a gun and it’s the gun purchase that is really the center of this here but you’re EX right he had hoped to avoid Court altogether on this there was a real possibility of him avoiding any prosecution on this charge but that obviously that um plea deal fell through in a really contentious hearing and so here we are fast forward to this summer and he’s going to court well and after that plea deal fell apart the Attorney General decided that the prosecutor the US attorney should actually be a special counsel which gives you more latitude I guess do we know how prosecutors are now going to try to portray Hunter Biden to these jurors yeah I mean look he only had the gun for 2 weeks but prosecutors are saying they’re going to use his own words against him I mean he wrote A A Memoir about struggling with addiction and in the depths of my addiction I was extremely irresponsible with my finances the prosecutors also say that they have a text message that allegedly um in his own words he allegedly says that he was uh smoking crack cocaine uh just days um from buying that gun so they want to say this is a really cut and dry simple case and I’ve talked to some legal experts um who who kind of agree right like you you fill out a form you check a box what did he tell the person when he applied for that firearm uh what did he put in that document and then did he obtain that firearm for the 11 days uh that everyone is saying he did legal experts have told me it’s very unique that prosecutors would bring a charge like this I I would say that these types of charges are not very much a priority also uh the uniqueness of this case is that Hunter Biden’s addiction is very public frankly it’s just so rare that you would have evidence that someone was potentially lying about using drugs when they were sort of filling out a form um but even though it might be unique you know a lot of legal officers have said that it might be pretty cut and dry now of course they’re going to mount to Big defense like the def but may Alice can you just make your defense these prosecutors are dumb like they shouldn’t have brought these charges like that’s if you’re at trial that seems like a rough case to make well actually you can like I mean that’s very much what I think they will do I mean they’re going to say that prosecutor shouldn’t have brought these charges but look it’s not it’s not going to just be that we’ve also gotten indications from some pre-trial kind of statements from Biden’s attorneys that they’re going to kind of cast doubt on those forms themselves it it it turns out that um it’s not as simple as one guy uh filling out a form there’s actually evidence that um some of the shop employees actually kind of refilled out the forms um later so kind of potentially casting doubt for any jury about who exactly checked these boxes and more um kind of an idea and this will be interesting kind of a jury selection if people in their own lives um I would imagine can relate to someone with addiction I’m wondering if this sort of last argument I’m going to bring up might hit home with some people we we have indications that defense is going to basically say look he had just at this moment finished a rehab program he was living with someone who was clean in that moment did he think that he was an addict using drugs you know addicts often um fall the wagon get back on the wagon how do you say that someone felt in that one moment um that they were lying about being an addict especially when actually in that one moment there’s evidence that he was really working to get cleaned so um that that’s kind of an interesting argument I don’t know how that lands with a jury um probably depends on people’s personal experiences I would imagine and I’m thinking about all this in comparison of course with what’s now happened with Donald Trump I mean just from the from the 30,000 foot view Mar Alice how big of a deal is all this in an election year at this moment oh Brad we don’t know right like I have no doubt that Republicans will use Hunter’s case um as a way to try to deflect from the fact that that President Trump is the first ever former commander-in-chief to now also be a convicted felon uh the reality is it’s not the same Hunter Biden is not on the ballot his dad is he’s actually been very open and public about his struggle with addiction I think that changes things it changes the politics around it um and we don’t know how what voters are going to think when they actually cast their vote in November but what we do know is that Hunter Biden will be in the news because of course it’s not just these charges he’s also facing um tax charges and most likely there there will be a second trial before November um with Hunter Biden and and so it’s going to be in the headlines and voters will be thinking about both right again because of this plea deal that could have been and wasn’t uh fascinating stuff here as we start the week Mary Alice parks at the White House thank you thanks Brad [Music] now while we get ready for this trial with Hunter Biden we continue to examine the impact of the 34 guilty verdicts against Donald Trump in New York his legal team says they’ll appeal a sentence could come just days before the Republican National Convention the real question in all this though is whether Americans American voters actually see him any differently well this weekend we got our first glimpses of polls asking those exact questions gayen Dro is with our partners at 538 where he hosts the 538 politics podcast asked gayen what are we seeing so far yeah Brad we have gotten some polls back since the guilty verdict came down and first and foremost what we’re seeing from this ABC News ipsos poll is that half of Americans 50% believe that the guilty verdict was correct another 49% basically the same say that this is a campaign ending result for him that he should end his campaign as a result I will also say here that a similar percentage of Americans 47% say that the charges against Trump were politically motivated so you might be thinking okay that’s a little weird folks see these charges as politically motivated but also think that he should have been found guilty and I don’t actually think that’s contradictory if you spent time thinking about this case and hearing about the ins and outs of the district attorney of Manhattan Alvin brag who brought the case and the specifics of the case that the prosecution put on it was like the first time we’d ever seen these types of charges brought against somebody and of course Alvin Bragg is a stated Democrat who talked about the possibility of bringing charges against Trump when he was running for office this is a partisan elected office in Manhattan and so it’s not crazy to come to the conclusion that had the former president not been the former president maybe these charges wouldn’t have been brought but once they were once you hear the case it also might make sense that he would be guilty given the case that theu put together and so sometimes people will look at these polls and say oh what are Americans thinking I look at polls like this and I say actually sometimes there’s quite a lot of wisdom in the crowds in fact that’s often times what we believe at 538 when looking at public opinion right like like like both things can be true you’re saying right like we were just talking about this with Hunter Biden where just because it’s a unique prosecution doesn’t mean that you might not be guilty of a crime there but I I guess I’m looking for numbers you’re the numbers guy is there a sense of how much this could actually swing things yeah so I think we’re going to be getting a lot of polling in over the coming week trying to assess whether or not this guilty verdict is going to upend the Dynamics of the presidential election in 2024 some early polling that we saw in particular from Echelon insights which is a highly rated pollster according to 538 poster ratings is that when looking at a sample the same sample of Americans before and after the guilty verdict in head-to-head polling Biden versus Trump the polling shifted two points in Biden’s favor so that it went from being about an even race to Biden leading by two points and you may think two points what’s the big deal we expect this race to be quite close now we’re still 5 months away from election day and there’s absolutely no guarantee that that will endure but what it does tell us is that far from this idea that oh you know Trump is going to frame himself as being persecuted and sort of convince Americans that actually they should support him with greater enthusiasm as a result of this outcome most Americans are relatively Normy I might say when it comes to these kinds of things they see a presidential candidate who’s now a convicted felon and they say uh I don’t know that I want that person to be president and so it wouldn’t surprise me if we continue to see a small but meaningful shift away from Trump in the head-to-head poll it but is yeah that’s the thing is there’s so many examples of of trump doing or saying something that you think would would be a death nail for any other campaign and then you hear like slowly but surely like the rest of the Republican Party the rest of his supporters start to parir it like kind of the justification for that just no big it’s locker room talk whatever is there a reason to think that this would be any different from any of those perhaps no but I you know as you might guess have more to say on the topic so Mr contrarian yeah the Teflon Dawn moniker I think is inaccurate maybe a better description would be bounce back Dawn the president presid Bear’s responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob riers we see in the wake of scandals and you could name many things January 6th you might not even call that a scandal but also as you mentioned Access Hollywood comments from Donald Trump that are even drawing fire from the head of the Republican party and others that in the week of these events Americans sour on the former president and view him more negatively we also see that time and time again while the initial reaction from Republican leadership and Republican voters may be negative that often times they come back around so I will be voting for Trump and we could expect that in this case because we’re 5 months out and they’re going to be you know bad news cycles for the current president over the next 5 months that may emphasize what Americans don’t like about his policy on the economy or immigration or crime or what have you but I think there’s a broader Dynamic here that we have to keep in mind Americans strongly prefer Trump on the economy inflation immigration crime things like that by in some cases 20 percentage points right nonetheless we find ourselves in a very competitive general election where there’s only about a point or two separating Biden and Trump in the Battleground States and nationally so if Americans strongly prefer Trump on policy why would we be so in such a close election and answer is in polling that asks Americans whether or not they see Donald Trump fit for the presidency overwhelmingly the response that you get is that Americans view him as corrupt and dangerous and so while he may bounce back from this in the long term and and I don’t know because of course the Biden campaign will try to bring this up again and again it’s important to recognize that just part of the enduring dynamics of this race is exactly that Americans view Donald Trump many of them as corrupt and dangerous it’s interesting like voting for him despite those things or if you’re in the middle perhaps not voting for him or voting not voting at all that has a cost you’re saying in the long term all right gayen Dro with our partners at 538 thank you so much thank you okay next up on start here Mexico just had its election day and there’s a lot more to talk about here than just historic candidates we’re back in a [Music] bit whenever news breaks we are here in Israel a nation at war in Rolling for this tornado tore through this town from Leon Maine the scene of a horrific mass shooting from the scene of that deadly Miss strike ABC News live everywhere in Iceland let’s go on the 2024 campaign Trail here at 10 Downing Street wherever the story is we’re going to take you there you’re streaming ABC News live ABC News live you’re streaming ABC News live ABC news live streaming free everywhere more Americans choose ABC News America’s number one One news source now if you’re Joe Biden you probably want voters thinking about Donald Trump’s criminal record right or about his most divisive comments or about how his decisions have affected abortion rights in this country what Biden probably doesn’t want to be a central theme of this campaign is immigration because no matter what you think about how migrants should be treated upon entering this country it is a fact that migration across the US me border absolutely skyrocketed this winter to levels never recorded before well yesterday voters in Mexico went to the polls to vote for their next president and what’s important to know here is that Mexico’s inauguration day is just before us elections meaning that whoever wins here will be tied at the hip politically to whoever wins in Mexico those two presidents will be a Duo Partners on the immigration debate for the next 4 years so with that let’s go to ABC’s foreign correspondent Matt Rivers who’s based in Mexico City Matt as I’m saying this we’re still waiting for like official readouts of this result but Mexican voters were choosing between a pretty historic pair of candidates right can you walk me through this race well first and foremost if you’re talking about the two leading candidates in this race no matter who won this was going to be historic because the two leading candidates in this race were both women and that’s massive in a country where historically it has been dominated by a patriarchical society not only in just Civil Society but also in politics itself and now the two leading candidates really throughout this race Claudia Shin bom and soil Galvez were women in the entire race the next president of Mexico was going to be a woman that is truly historic so it’s not hyperbole to put this kind of an election uh in Mexican history in historical terms if you’re talking about the candidates themselves cloudia shine bomb certainly more of a household name going into this race she was the former mayor of Mexico City she guided the city through the [Applause] [Music] pandemic will not submit to any economic or foreign power no matter how powerful it may be but really where she started her rise into National politics was when she hitched her horse to Andres Manuel Lopez orador he’s the current president of Mexico he goes by omlo he’s very popular he is an avowed populist uh and he really picked Claudia Shin bomb to succeed him as it were this is a democracy so you know he’s he basically threw his support behind her he couldn’t anoint her but that really allowed her to capture her party’s nomination and become one of the leading candidates uh in this presidential contest on the other side you have a very interesting person in soil galves Ruiz she is a person of very humble roots she talks about that all the time uh she’s from a family with indigenous Roots here in Mexico not something you often see in the ruling political class uh in this country she was kind of leading a coalition of center right parties that really used to be the dominant forces in politics here in Mexico now that’s been replaced by the party of amlo by the party of Claudia Shin bomb this is a polarized country not as much as the United States but certainly people are drawing dividing lines in this country and the outcome of this election truly historic but wait but but going back to Shin bomb who for all intents and purposes was the far away front runner here if she was sort of the chosen one of omo here if this becomes like an omlo 2.0 presidency what would that mean for the us because you think whoever’s in charge has a profound effect on say like immigration policy 100% this is a country that is a federal republic just like the United States which means the head of state the executive in this case the Mexican president really has a huge effect is the leader on foreign policy and what we’ve seen during the omlo years is a huge willingness to fight with the United States omlo is very much about National sovereignty he talks often about not wanting to be bullied by anyone not wanting any other country to invade his sovereignty but when you’re talking about Mexico the number one foreign policy issue is always the United States how much Mexico decides to enforce its own immigration law how many people they deport every single day has a huge impact on the numbers of people arriving North and Mexico knows that Amo knows that and he hasn’t been afraid to use that kind of thing as leverage in the Diplomatic negotiations that he has engaged with with the United States the big question now with Claudia Shin bomb yes she is his Protege but she has also done things as mayor of Mexico City that didn’t necessarily completely line up with the omo agenda so the question now is is she going to be her own president is she going to be the kind of person who is going to Buck what Amo would have done where he’s still in office or is she going to realize that without his support she would likely lose a lot of popular support here in Mexico does she feel obligated to carry the omo Legacy through and through hey can you shed a little bit more light then on on what it’s been like I guess just to run for office in Mexico cuz I saw I saw a headline from The Wall Street Journal the other day that basically says one of the more common ways to lose your local election in Mexico at this point is to die I mean how common is political violence becoming there it is an absolute crisis at the end of the maren candidates closing speech there were gunshots several rounds of gunfire very close and then people started running and Diving to the ground crouching I’ve been here uh for more than 5 years now I covered the midterm elections in 2021 and at the time we were saying wow this was the most violent election cycle in Mexico’s history and yet here we are in 2024 it is now even more violent you’ve seen more than 230 people killed as a result of election related violence the reality of 2024 in Mexico is that if you are involved in politics you are certainly putting your life on the line and I should say where this violence is taking place it is largely taking place at the municipal level not at the state level and the reason why it’s happening at the municipal level is because that is the first level of government that organized crime needs to control in order to operate with impunity in order to grow their operations in order to move people through human smuggling in order to move drugs you need to control the local officials the local candidates the local politicians if you’re starting your career here really young in Mexico especially in some of the states here in Mexico that are most dominated by organized crime you are quite literally risking your life to do so and when you do that if you take an anti-ar platform if you take an anti coruption platform and you make that the centerpiece because that is Far and Away the number one issue on voters Minds is Public Safety but the real irony there is that if you do that if you lean into that then you risk becoming a victim of the very system that you are trying to fix and that is the problem here in Mexico in 2024 yeah and it’s a conversation we continue to have in the US too right that that that the dangers of political violence so often are actually the local elections the mayoral races that’s where you actually see the most warnings coming from law enforcement saying this this is what you want to avoid all right Matt Rivers there in Mexico thank you so much thank you Brad okay one more quick break when we come back I get angry when my neighbor litters around my house what about 30,000 lb of trash on your lawn get out the home security camera one last thing is next this week the guilty verdict Fallout plus awaiting the Supreme Court’s big decisions on presidential immunity and abort access more Americans turn to World News Tonight with David mure the most watched newscast on television hi I’m Andy and I’m Sabrina and we’re moms juggling tons of stuff every day like all you moms out there and you know what we love really love Pop Culture so listen now to our new podcast pop culture moms wherever you get your podcast traveling with the president to the US Mexico border I’m Mary Bruce wherever the story is we’ll take you there you’re streaming ABC News live I love stories about Petty neighbors I can’t get enough of them they started painting pictures of pigs on the walls what did you think when you saw those pictures well that they were calling us pigs but if you think people across the fence from each other can get nasty try the folks on either side of a demilitarized zone this weekend South Korea accused its neighbors to the north of sending them balloons full of TR crash yeah that is the sound of South Korea officials poking through big piles of garbage that arrived in well picture like a mini hot air balloon it’s got a timer on it so these things launched from North Korea they drift South across the DMZ and then they just dump trash on the ground experts estimated that thousands of these balloons went across with 30,000 lb of garbage dropped over the last week and just as in any other neighbor dispute North Korea says hey we didn’t start this it started when the other guys were jerks to us see for years after the Korean War North and South Korea would use balloons to dump leaflets in each other’s countries The Hope was they could convince regular people to rise up against their respective governments and after a while this started becoming counterproductive like it would infuriate the other count so much that it would affect negotiations they stopped doing it South Korea has even tried to pass a law to stop their own citizens from sending private balloons this is apparently a big thing among North Korean defectors now in the South and Christian groups sending Bibles but just last year that law was deemed unconstitutional which is why in recent weeks Balloons with pamphlets have once again started drifting North and balloons carrying compost and reportedly manure have been winding up in South korean’s backyards so what will South Korea do in response well if you were mad at your neighbor what would you do apparently Kim Jong-un hates K-pop like really hates it he hates the music he hates South Korean dramas calls them all trash well South Korea says if you’re sending us your trash we’re going to blast the sound of K-pop our trash toward [Music] you in recent years they’ve actually done this they’ve blared K-pop music via loudspeaker into the DMZ sometimes they alternate it with classic anti-north propaganda this weekend they said they were considering dusting off the woofers and trying this again well overnight North Korea has now said they’re done with the great trash balloon prank for now saying if South Koreans presumably flit scattering they’ll answer back with a hundred times the trash after all somebody’s got to step back because in this neighborly dispute there’s no homeowners association to be [Music] found I could

Francisco’s just 50% contained were live on the front lines Hunter Biden’s historic trial gets underway jury selection is set to begin today as the president son faces three federal gun charges what to expect as the child of a sitting president goes on trial for the first time in US history zero down payment mortgages what first-time buyers need to know before signing on the dotted line and we’re celebrating pride month with a look at the new era of Ballroom culture how it’s helping people find community on and off the dance floor we begin with a massive fire burning out of control in California the coral fire in sanen County about 50 Mi outside San Francisco has scorched more than 14,000 Acres many homes were forced to evacuate over the weekend now firefighters say strong winds and dry grass are making it difficult to contain as 24 million people in the state are on alert for life-threatening triple digigit heat we have Team coverage this morning ABC’s MOA langi starts us off from San Wen MOA what’s the latest well Diane firefighters making significant progress in containing these fires uh especially as conditions have improved here but not before the community suffered some pretty severe damage as you can see what used to be a house there completely destroyed about 100 homes had to be evacuated and two firefighters injured wildfires that started near the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory about 50 Mi east of San Francisco torching over 20 square miles over the weekend are finally starting to subside several homeowners in San Wen County were forced to evacuate my husband came came home and he was like you have 5 minutes pack stuff for the kids and he’s like you need to get out of here the Corral fire began Saturday afternoon Flames spread quickly fueled by dry grass high winds and high temperatures when we started seeing the Flames we saw how catastrophic it was and the whole Hills were burning Kelsey Alvarez was on a road trip from Florida when she was caught on a highway choked by fire the fire to my left was now right by the highway the median maybe 500 yards ahead had a little bit of fire and then by 7705 the fire seemed to have jumped across the highway more than 400 Personnel from all over the state responded two firefighters injured while battling the blaze calire posting this photo of a home they were able to save surrounded by torched grass as of this morning officials say the blaze is 50% contained it’s just a good reminder to be vigilant this is your opportunity to really focus on that defensible space around your homes take that preparedness very seriously well evacuation orders on homeowners have been uh lifted by the fire officials allowing folks to get back into their homes meanwhile Diane the cause of the fire still under investigation and MOA how are these weather conditions this high heat and such impacting that firefight well it’s really the wind was the real problem uh over the weekend Diane wind gusts we are still seeing some strong wind gusts here and there but conditions have certainly improved here over the last 24 hours or so wind gusts have started to die down a bit uh which has really allowed fire officials to begin to to contain the fire more and more they’ve got about 50% contained so we are seeing improved conditions and fire officials certainly hoping that it stays that way Diane all right mola langi in Tracy California thanks MOA and the extreme heat is also helping to fuel those wildfires and it’s only expected to get worse today Millions across the South are also under threat for severe storms ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Z is tracking it all for us hi Ginger Diane let’s go ahead and talk about those fire conditions because although they’re changing they won’t be perfect for fire Behavior so let’s talk about the coral fire right so we just saw the pictures from there the gust today and tomorrow could still be up to 30 m per hour take that and then add about 20° tomorrow and 100° temperatures will take the relative humidity down to around 20% so that’s going to make it much drier okay so then let’s talk on a bigger scale so anywhere from Tucson and Phoenix up to reading Sacramento all in excessive heat Watches or Warnings Las Vegas also in an excessive heat warning if you’re traveling there for a conference or something this could be the earliest they see 110 on record and stay there Thursday and Friday could see records there average first 110 is about more like July 1st by the way Phoenix could see records and it’s just really warm all the way to Salt Lake and Boise Diane all right Jinger Z thank you and jury selection is set to begin today in the historic trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing felony charges accused of knowingly lying on a Federal Form about his drug use in order to buy a gun it marks the first time ever the child of a sitting president is going on trial ABC News senior National correspondent Terry Moran has the latest from Dallas Delware the trial of Hunter Biden begins at the federal courthouse in Wilmington Delaware the first time in US history that the child of the sitting president has gone on trial President Joe Biden’s only living son faces three federal gun charges for allegedly obtaining a firearm while he was addicted to drugs for years Hunter Biden has spoken publicly about his struggles with addiction I’ve made mistakes in my life and wasted opportunities and privileges I was afforded for for that I’m responsible prosecutors say that in October 2018 during a time they say hunter Biden was addicted to drugs he purchased this CT revolver and allegedly lied on a federal form that he was not addicted to drugs in his Memoir beautiful things Biden writing that in the fall of 2018 he had hopes of getting clean through a new therapy through it all President Biden has stood by his son I have great confidence in my son I love him and uh he’s on a straight and narrow and he has been for a couple years now and I’m just so proud of him the trial is expected to be deeply personal and potentially embarrassing for the first family prosecutors are relying on photos and text messages from Hunter Biden including this one allegedly sent just two days after purchasing the gun I was sleeping on a car smoking crack on Fourth Street and Rodney Biden’s own attorney general Merrick Garland appointed a special prosecutor David Weiss a trump appointed us attorney in Delaware to over oversee this case Weiss reached a plea deal with Hunter Biden last year but during a hearing in July that deal fell apart after tough questioning by the same federal judge who will now oversee Hunter Biden’s trial ABC News senior National correspondent Terry Moran joins me now from Delaware Terry what are you watching for today as this jury selection starts well Diane first how the jurors respond to this case and they will know the nature of it not not only is Hunter Biden the president’s son there at in the dock at the defendants table but first lady Jill Biden has arrived today as well shortly after to stand by her son uh in this moment of trial but uh also inevitably lawyers will be interested in the politics of jurors obviously this case is not about politics but given as the president’s son given our polarized politics they want to know about that but I think they will more deeply want to know about juror’s attitudes about addiction and personal responsib ility there’s hardly an American family that hasn’t been touched by the scourge of drug addiction and they’ll want to explore that drug addiction obviously not by itself an excuse for for criminal behavior and in fact uh the defense’s apparent way of countering the prosecution here is to say that Hunter Biden sincerely believed at the time that he bought that gun that he was not addicted he was struggling in therapy uh we’ll see how that goes down but I think that’s the major issue in the case for the the jurors and lawyers today will want to explore how these jurors uh think about those things and Terry Hunter Biden’s also facing federal charges in California for allegedly evading taxes that trial set for the fall how how big is this to be seen for the first time in US history a sitting president’s son facing trial now for the first time with another one on the horizon and how is this all expected to impact the president’s reelection campaign well the absolutely the fact that this is coming during an election year this and the trial scheduled really in the heart of the election uh campaign in the fall uh that is unprecedented and will be a factor in the election if the Republicans have anything to say about it this case obviously is a sad and sorted tale of of drug addiction and its consequences for the Biden family it’s that other case the federal tax evasion case uh that Republicans have been focused more on because it gets at the source of Hunter Biden’s money and that is where Republicans argue there is corruption in the Biden family corruption that may even reach the president so expect to hear more about that but they’re going to try and make hay with all of these uh personal uh and political problems for the president all right senior National correspondent Terry Moran thank you [Music] Terry Top Republicans are jumping to former president Trump’s defense after the historic guilty verdict in his criminal money trial over the weekend Trump slammed the judge and the state’s key witness Michael Cohen now some Republicans say the verdict is bringing the party together ABC News senior Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott has the latest the Republican party is rling around Donald Trump after the former president was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records we’re going to show them that oh we’re going to fight Trump defiant as he awaits sentencing saying he’s okay with potentially being sentenced to house arrest or jail time I’m okay with it I saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying oh no you don’t want to do that to the Pres I said don’t you don’t beg for anything just the way it is the former president slamming the verdict as rigged and going after the judge who will decide his fate calling judge Juan Marshawn a devil and even attacking his former fixer Michael Cohen calling him a SLE bag a possible violation of the gag order still in place the former president also struggled to say whether he would pursue revenge against his political enemies if reelected claiming it’s a tough question my revenge will be success and I mean that but it’s awfully hard when you see what they’ve done President Biden slamming his rival and his GOP allies for attacking the justice system it’s Reckless it’s dangerous it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict but Republicans quickly coming to Trump’s defense this ver verdict has actually brought UNIF unifying our party Donald Trump has said that his so-called retribution will be success as his lawyers now prepare to appeal we plan to vigorously defend president Trump’s rights in the appell at courts all the way up to the US Supreme Court if necessary Diane Trump also suggested there could be a quote breaking point for the public depending on the outcome of his sentencing this morning Democrats calling that in dangerous appeal to political violence and a reminder Trump sentencing is set for July 11th that’s just 4 days before the Republican National Convention where the former president will officially accept the party’s nomination Diane all right senior Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott thank [Music] you a new ABC News ipsos poll finds half of Americans agree with that guilty verdict against former president Trump and 49% say they think he should end his 2024 presidential campaign over the result ABC News iCal director Rick Klein has the latest on the political Fallout yeah Diane looking at the polling that we have in our latest poll with ipsos you see a divided country 50% of Americans in this latest poll with ipso say that they think the verdict was right that that the jury got it correct 27% say it not correct 49% again almost half the country thinks that it’s so serious that she’d actually end his campaign right now more striking though is if you just focus in on some of the key voters in this election cycle we call them the double haters the people that say they view both Trump and Biden unfavorably if you just look at that group 65% say that this verdict was correct only 11% say it was wrong and 67% 2third think that he should actually end his campaign and there’s another poll out uh with ipsos and Reuters just from over the weekend that tells a a little bit of a different story that talks about the political Peril that Trump May face check this out this is just among Republicans how they feel about the Trump vote now that the conviction is in 34% say they’re more likely to vote for him but 11% say they’re less likely now that may not be a huge number on its face but one in 10 Republicans is the kind of margin that you you can’t afford to lose in an election likely to be this close and among Independents the numbers are even more Stark 26% that’s more than a quarter of Independents say they are less likely to vote for Donald Trump just based on this verdict Diane ABC News political director Rick Klein thank you coming up hope for a ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza why President Biden is

it the UN says more than 1 million people have now left Rafa since Israel issued evacuation orders now prime minister Benjamin netan who is facing increasing pressure to take steps to end the war chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce has the latest hi Mary well President Biden is extremely eager to end this eight-month war that has rocked the region and created a foreign and domestic crisis for him and Biden is now taking these negotiations and blowing them wide open detailing publicly for the first time what is on the table with the hopes that it will pressure Hamas and Israel to

longer capable of carrying out an attack like the one they did on October 7th and that it is time to end this war now the White House is adamant that this was Israeli proposal and while they are not rejecting it they say their conditions have not changed they want to see hamas’s military and governing capabilities completely destroyed and now two far-right Israeli leaders say they could would

medics were on scene less than 4 minutes after that later Taken to a nearby hospital and now in stable condition across the country experts say the likelihood of an encounter is low but sharks are coming closer to shore because of cleaner Waters and booming Bait fish populations the closer that sharks come to shore the more likely they are to overlap with human activities and Ian some lifeguards are using new technology things like drones to monitor water activity if a shark is seen can get people out of the water before it gets too close they also remind people make sure those lifeguard towers are staffed when you’re in the water in this case they had just arrived and were setting up when that man was bit Diane all right ABC News live anchor Kaa Whitworth thank you and the

of course good food GMA 3 what you need to know a third hour of GMA in the afternoon so join us afternoons for everything you need to know I love [Music] that welcome back to ABC News live first high protein food products are on the rise thanks to the popularity of certain medications used for weight loss as more people use drugs like wovi Manjaro and Zep bound more and more companies are now creating products ranging from Pizza to pastries all focused on building protein to avoid muscle loss Becky rley has more on what to look out for what to eat when you’re not hungry on a zic and mararo high protein products are all the rage they’re your standard protein shakes and bars but protein chips protein pastries Donuts there’s even some Waters that have some added protein in there now this push for protein is likely attributed to the rise in new obesity drugs like wovi and Zep bound bisha Cooper of Texas says she lost 76 pounds on Monaro a drug some use for weight loss and says her doctor told her to increase her protein intake to prevent muscle loss in the beginning it was super hard because um she had set a goal for me to get 90 grams and so I was like oh my goodness that’s so much protein the marketing push to people on weight loss drugs so intense that nutrition chain GNC launched a glp1 support section in all of its stores with lots of protein products and the world’s largest food company Nestle announced a new line of $5 items like frozen pizzas and protein enriched pastas hitting the shelves in October other companies offering high protein prepared meals when someone’s on these medications do their dietary needs change dramatically from say someone who’s not receiving medications for weight loss yeah it’s important to remember that when you lose weight you’re losing both uh fat mass and free fat mass or or muscle right Specialists say one way patients taking weight loss medications can try and maintain muscle mass when losing weight is by making sure they eat enough protein it has definitely help with just me building muscle a focus that’s better for those on weight loss medications and for many of us just trying to eat a healthier diet talking to your doctor about what’s right for you is a key but one thing to consider some preliminary studies suggest that protein should really be consumed consistently throughout the day so that means trying to avoid eating just one high protein meal at dinner for example and remember one of the most important aspects of maintaining muscle mass is resistance exercise lifting it’s key it’s a leg day for me and you cannot Skip Leg Day Diane oh we all know that Becky worly thank you good advice as always speaking of good advice let’s go to ABC News medical contributor and physician Standford for Children’s Health Dr L Batel he joins me now for more on this Dr Batel what do people need to know about eating these high protein products and incorporating more protein into diet in general D I think the first thing that people should understand is how incredibly important protein is for our bodies we often think about protein as it’s related to muscles but it’s also an important building block of our skin our bones cells hormones vitamins so many things that are needed for our bodies to function properly now people who take OIC often report feeling full quickly or bloated so it’s important that you start your meals with nutrient dense foods especially foods that are high in protein and also we run the risk of losing protein with any weight loss plan not just with these medications and that can be risky so people might say how much protein do I need it’s easy to say Hey try to get 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal now to put this in reference one egg about six to seven grams of protein one serving of meat or poul your Seafood could be 20 to 30 vegetarian options like beans or tofu could give you about 10 to 15 gram per serving people might see those calculators online they can be a little confusing in general if you divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 you get kilograms you multiply that by around 08 to 1.5 and you’ll get roughly how much protein you need per day based on your weight how active you are if this is confusing this is why it’s so important to work with a dietician and Healthcare professional as you are going on any weight loss Journey what else can people do to try to counter that muscle loss I think two important things to mention here is number one resistance training this is any type of workout when your muscles your body is moving against a force think calisthetics like push-ups think weight training or leg day as Becky just mentioned this is not only important for maintaining your muscle mass fighting off that that muscle loss or sarcopenia but also putting on and maintaining muscle is important for pushing off your risk of chronic disease and also D I got to mention when it comes to taking in more protein I know it’s tempting and convenient to go and buy supplements or prepackaged products remember these products could be processed and loaded with harmful additives potentially unhealthy sources of fat and sugar so when in doubt Whole Food minimally processed foods are best you’ll get a healthy source of protein complete with amino acids fiber iron other vitamins and nutrients so when and doubt choose whole complete foods that anyone can recognize all right great advice Dr Patel thank you thank you and 0% down mortgages are making a comeback one company is now letting qualified buyers purchase a home without putting any money down and critics say it’s bringing back some memories of the 2008 mortgage crisis ABC News business reporter Lexus christopherus has the details a new option for prospective home buyers struggling to find the money for a down payment the lender unit Ed Wholesale Mortgage letting qualified buyers purchase a home without putting any money down and with Rising home prices and mortgage rates now back above 7% it’s grabbing lots of attention since launching the 0% down purchase plan two weeks ago the lenders received over 2,000 loan applications the biggest obstacle to home ownership is the down payment and this down payment assistance program solves that for most consumers Across America to be eligible you must not have owned a home for at least 3 years meet certain income and credit scor requirements and use a mortgage broker qualified borrowers can receive $15,000 or up to 3% of the purchase price of a home whichever is less but experts say it’s important to remember it’s not a gift but a second loan in addition to your mortgage it’s not a freebie in other words you have to pay this money back if you refinance sell the house or pay off the mortgage you must pay back the down payment Loan in full this 0% down payment promotion could be golden handcuffs in a way if it either prevents you from refinancing or makes it more difficult and expensive to refinance that was not a deal breaker for Olivia reyle I think I’ve spent most of my young adult life saving up for a house she recently closed on her first home after securing a $10,000 zero interest down payment loan I could look at more higher end homes that I may not have been able to afford with a 3% down and then also it allows me to kind of put that money back into the home and Alexis joins me now for more on this Alexis the misuse of 0% Down Home Loans played a role in the 2008 financial crisis mortgage crisis and so many people as soon as they hear that they think uh oh so how is this different from what happened then great question and it’s one that I posed to this lender you’re talking about the subprime mortgage crisis which of course sparked the 2008 Great Recession they say This Time It’s Different back then Banks were lending money to folks who frankly shouldn’t have been getting these loans they weren’t looking at income or credit scores they say now the criteria is much stricter and they are very choosy about who gets these loans so they’re putting the emphasis on the qualified part of qualified applican thankfully yes uh what what other options do prospective home buyers have there are lots of options you just need to do a lot of homework 0% uh interest loans for homes is not new the first thing I would do is see if you qualify by doing a quick uh search online to see if your state or local government offers these kinds of loans see if you’re eligible some even offer grants there are a couple of large Banks including Bank of America and City group that also offer similar things and of course if you’re a veteran uh the federal government will extend these kinds of loans to you so I think it’s worth uh doing the the homework and seeing if you qualify and then of course digging in and reading the fine print to understand what it is you’re really signing up for so important all right business report Alexis Christoper always great to have

reference to phone records and emails what they’re saying is that Associates of Dr fouchy not as they alleg Dr fouchy himself at this moment used ways in House Republicans view to try to circumvent Federal public records laws meaning using a personal email that’s not subject to the Freedom of Information Act or printing out documents as some House Republicans have alleged and say they have communications that back this up and meaning printing out documents so there’s no digital trail of that kind of communication and what we’re seeing House Republicans try to do as this hearing gets underway is try to tie those alleged attempts to circumvent circumvent Federal public records law to do fouchy it remains to be seen if they’ll be successful in this hearing certainly Democrats have criticized uh possible attempts to circumvent public records law but they’ve also insulated fouchy and say that fouchi is not the one who directed this or was involved in this and that attacking fouchy is like attacking front-line public health workers because of the hard work that he did during the pandemic Jay big picture what else are lawmakers looking to hear from fouchi today what are the main questions going into this well this is the first time fouchi has testified before Congressional committee since remember he resigned from government he retired he’s writing a book now he’s a private citizen and so while public records is what Republicans say they want to focus on or at least one of the things they want to focus on in these proceedings prepare yourself for the possibility and the reality that Republicans are going to ask fouchy a number of different questions under the sun like the lab leak Theory did covid leak from a lab in China rather than an animal there’s going to be a lot of expected questioning on that front uh um science behind certain virus mitigation efforts that Republicans have criticized like six feet distance between you and someone who’s possibly infected with covid masking things of that nature things that Republicans have since called into question expect fouchy to get questions on the scientific veracity of those virus mitigation steps as well um and the question really hanging over this hearing is what really comes out of this Dr fouchy has testified in front of Congress before he said he wants to cooperate with this committee’s investigation and so Republicans might have a lot of pointed questions for him but they might not get a lot out of them all right ABC’s J O’Brien on Capital Hill Jay thank you and jury selection is underway in the historic trial of Hunter Biden the president president’s son is facing felony charges accused of knowingly lying on a Federal Form about his drug use in order to buy a gun it marks the first time ever the child of a sitting president is going on trial now President Biden is saying in a statement that he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son ABC News investigative reporter Olivia Rubin joins me now from T Delaware Olivia what’s the latest report Diane prospective jurors are facing individual questioning from the judge and both parties as they work to get a jury seated in this case so jurors are being brought in one by one and answering questions on their political views what they know about the case their feelings on guns because remember this is a case about owning a gun allegedly illegally and there have been a couple of you know interesting jurors there was one uh woman who said that she worked in the secret service for 24 years her husband was a uniform officer uh at places such as the White House there was another woman who said she volunteered on a number of democratic campaigns including Hillary Clinton in 2008 and it was that juror that prompted the first mentioned today Diane of President Joe Biden though it was not by name when she gave that answer the judge looked at her and asked if that work her work for Democratic campaigns would give her any problem being fair in a case that involves the son of the sitting Democratic United States President she said it would not but notably Diane these jurors these average you know Delaware residents are coming in and they’re answering these questions in front of the first lady of the United States Joe Biden is seated in the first row of the courtroom watching intently as these uh you know citizens who will judge Hunter Biden’s fate are answering their questions so what’s at stake here for the president’s Son Well a conviction in potential jail time remember if Hunter is convicted here on these three charges it carries a maximum penalty of 25 5 years in prison now of course that would be quite heavy and there are many legal experts who don’t think he would face anywhere near that but that is the immediate consequence of this case there will be a verdict there will be guilty or not guilty and if it is guilty there is jail time significant jail time Diane that comes along with this sentence and are are there of course you know the political implications which you know people wondering what sort of effect this could have on his father who is of course running for reelection and Olivia I want to ask you more about that because Hunter Biden’s also facing federal charges in California for alleged tax evasion and that trial set for the fall so with the election in November how is all of this expected to impact the president’s reelection campaign well it is that tax case in California that is even stickier timing wise for President Joe Biden because Hunter is set to go on in early September in a case that could take up you know as much as 6 weeks to two months it seems like it’s going to be a very lengthy case whereas this one here is expected to run about 2 to 3 weeks so that would put the son of Joe Biden on trial potentially in the days leading up to the 2024 November election which is just striking that is a time when voters are highly tuned into the election now you know we are in the early days of summer there is a question is anyone paying attention here you know you can find people on both sides who will argue either way but to have Hunter Biden on trial once again in the most some of the most critical days of the campaign is going to be quite striking and just from having been in the courtroom you know you can sort of feel the presence there are you know a number of Secret Service in there uh it it’s quite striking and a constant reminder of the political uh Stakes here all right investigative reporter Olivia Rubin thank you and top Republicans are jumping to former president Trump’s defense after the historic guilty verdict in his criminal hush money trial over the Trump slammed the judge and the state’s key witness Michael Cohen now some Republicans say the verdict is bringing the party together ABC News senior Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott has the latest the Republican party is ring around Donald Trump after the former president was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records we’re going to show them that uh we’re going to fight Trump defiant as he awaits sentencing saying he’s okay with potentially being sentenced to house arrest or jail time I’m okay with it I saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying oh no you don’t want to do that to the Pres I said don’t you don’t beg for anything you just the way it is the former president slamming the verdict as rigged and going after the judge who will decide his fate calling judge Juan Marshawn a devil and even attacking his former fixer Michael Cohen calling him a SLE bag a possible violation of the gag order still in place the former president also struggled to say whether he would pursue revenge against his political enemies if reelected claiming it’s a tough question my revenge will be success and I mean that but it’s awfully hard when you see what they’ve done President Biden slamming his rival and his GOP allies for attacking the justice system it’s Reckless it’s dangerous it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict but Republicans quickly coming to Trump’s defense this verdict has actually brought un in our party Donald Trump has said that his so-called retribution will be success as his lawyers now prepare to appeal we plan to vigorously defend president Trump’s rights in the appell at courts all the way up to the US Supreme Court if necessary Diane Trump also suggested there could be a quote breaking point for the public depending on the outcome of his sentencing this morning Democrats calling that in dangerous appeal to political violence and a reminder Trump sentencing is set for July 11th that’s just 4 days before the Republican National Convention where the former president will officially accept the party’s nomination Diane all right senior Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott thank you and now to a massive Wildfire burning out of control in California the coral fire in sanin county has scorched more than 14,000 acres in Northern California many homes were forced to

have team coverage this morning with ABC’s mola langi starting us off from sanen MOA wildfires that started near the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory about 50 Mi east of San Francisco torching over 20 square miles over the weekend are finally starting to subside several homeowners in San Wen County were forced to evacuate my husband came home and he was like you have 5 minutes pack stuff for the kids and he’s like you need to get out of here the Corral fire began Saturday afternoon flames spread quickly fueled by dry grass high winds and high temperatures when we started seeing the Flames we saw how catastrophic it was and the whole Hills were burning Kelsey Alvarez was on a road trip from Florida when she was caught on a highway choked by fire the fire to my left was now right by the highway the median maybe 500 yards ahead had a little bit of fire and then by 7705 the fire seemed to have jumped across the highway more than 400 Personnel from all over the state responded two firefighters injured while battling the blaze Cal Fire posting this photo of a home they were able to save surrounded by torched grass as of this morning officials say the blaze is 50% contained

heat wave right now what’s the latest on that you know Diane conditions are going to get worse before they get better I’ll tell you that much so in Tracy where mola is close to that fire temperatures tomorrow will hit around 100 degrees we’re also going to see that relative humidity drop about 20% to around 20% so uh that does not help the situation and gust the winds are gusting upwards of 30 miles per hour both today and tomorrow so they’re dealing with the heat the low relative humidity and the winds you can see the wider picture here this is why we have excess heat warnings and watches in effect for this region because triple digit temperatures are on the way Las Vegas 112 that could be a record-breaking Thursday the earliest you’ve seen a temperature go above 110° uh Phoenix around 112 could also be a recordbreaker even in Boise in the mid90s meanwhile on the East Coast Florida gear up for more record heat we’re looking at a record warm spring how many times can I say record right top five warmest Springs wherever you see these red dots look at how much of the eastern half of the country is covered and of course I have to talk to you about the severe weather over the weekend nine tornadoes hit between North Dakota South Dakota and Texas look at this one materializing there in Sanderson Texas it caused damage on the ground uh and we do have another threat for severe weather as we head through the coming hours this is this afternoon damaging wind large Hills we could see some tornadoes pop up Oklahoma City Memphis Dallas uh even as far north as Madison and the final thing that I will say is that we are in a bit of a moderate to SP drought in the Pacific Northwest but they are anticipating to tap into that atmospheric River Diane and get some rain but

podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcasts start here welcome back to ABC News live first high protein food products are on the rise thanks to the popularity of certain medication used for weight loss as more people use drugs like wovi Manjaro and Zep bound more and more companies are now creating products ranging from Pizza to pastries all focused on building protein to avoid muscle loss Becky Worley has more on what to look out for what to eat when you’re not hungry on a zic and mararo high protein products are all the rage they’re your standard protein shakes and bars but protein chips protein pastries Donuts there’s even some Waters that have some added protein in there now this push for protein is likely attributed to the rise in new obesity drugs like wovi and Zep bound bisha Cooper of Texas says she lost 76 pounds on Manjaro a drug some Ed for weight loss and says her doctor told her to increase her protein intake to prevent muscle loss in the beginning it was super hard because um she had set a goal for me to get 90 grams and so I was like oh my goodness that’s so much protein the marketing push to people on weight loss drugs so intense that nutrition chain GNC launched a glp1 support section in all of its stores with lots of protein products and the world’s largest food company Nestle announced a new line of $5 items like frozen pizzas and protein enriched pastas hitting the shelves in October other companies offering high protein prepared meals when someone’s on these medications do their dietary needs change dramatically from say someone who’s not receiving medications for weight loss yeah I think it’s important to remember that when you lose weight you’re losing both uh fat mass and free fat mass or or muscle right Specialists say one way patients taking weight loss medications can try and maintain muscle mass when losing weight is by making sure they eat enough protein it has definitely helped with just me building muscle a focus that’s better for those on weight loss medications and for many of us just trying to eat a healthier diet talking to your doctor about what’s right for you is a key but one thing to consider some preliminary studies suggest that protein should really be consumed consistently throughout the day so that means trying to avoid eating just one high protein meal at dinner for example and remember one of the most important aspects of maintaining muscle mass is resistance exercise lifting it’s key it’s a leg day for me and you cannot Skip Leg Day Diane oh we all know that Becky whle thank thank you good advice as always speaking of good advice let’s go to ABC News medical contributor and physician Stanford Children’s Health Dr Lo Batel he joins me now for more on this Dr Batel what do people need to know about eating these high protein products and incorporating more protein into diet in general D I think the first thing that people should understand is how incredibly important protein is for our bodies we often think about protein as it’s related to muscles but it’s also an important building block of our skin our bones cells hormones vitamins so many things that are needed for our bodies to function properly now people who take OIC often report feeling full quickly or bloated so it’s important that you start your meals with nutrient dense foods especially foods that are high in protein and also we run the risk of losing protein with any weight loss plan not just with these medications and that can be risky so people might say how much protein do I need it’s easy to say Hey try to get 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal now put this in reference one egg about 6 to seven gram of protein one serving of meat or poultry or seafood could be 20 to 30 vegetarian options like beans or tofu could give you about 10 to 15 grams per serving people might see those calculators online they can be a little confusing in general if you divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 you get kilograms you multiply that by around 08 to 1.5 and you’ll get roughly how much protein you need per day based on your weight how active you are this conf confusing this is why it’s so important to work with a dietitian and Healthcare professional as you are going on any weight loss Journey what else can people do to try to counter that muscle loss I think two important things to mention here is number one resistance training this is any type of workout when your muscles your body is moving against a force think calisthetics like push-ups think weight training or leg day as Becky just mentioned this is not only important for maintaining your muscle mass fighting off that that muscle loss or sarcopenia but also putting on and maintaining muscle is important for pushing off your risk of chronic disease and also D I got to mention when it comes to taking more protein I know it’s tempting and convenient to go and buy supplements or prepackaged products remember these products could be processed and loaded with harmful additives potentially unhealthy sources of fat and sugar so when in doubt Whole Food minimally processed foods are best you’ll get a healthy source of protein complete with amino acids fiber iron other vitamins and nutral so when and doubt choose whole complete foods that anyone can recognize all right great advice Dr Patel thank you thank you and 0% down mortgages are making a comeback one company is now letting qualified buyers purchase a home without putting any money down and critics say it’s bringing back some memories of the 2008 mortgage crisis ABC News business reporter Lexus christopherus has the details a new option option for prospective home buyers struggling to find the money for a down payment the lender United Wholesale Mortgage letting qualified buyers purchase a home without putting any money down and with Rising home prices and mortgage rates now back above 7% it’s grabbing lots of attention since launching the 0% down purchase plan two weeks ago the lenders received over 2,000 loan applications the biggest obstacle to home ownership is the down payment and this down payment assistance program solves that for most consumers across America to be eligible you must not have owned a home for at least three years meet certain income and credit score requirements and use a mortgage broker qualified borrowers can receive $155,000 or up to 3% of the purchase price of a home whichever is less but experts say it’s important to remember it’s not a gift but a second loan in addition to your mortgage it’s not a freebie in other words you have to pay this money back if you refinance sell the house or pay off the mortgage you must pay back the down payment loan in full this 0% down payment promotion could be golden handcuffs in a way if it either prevents you from refinancing or makes it more difficult and expensive to refinance that was not a deal breaker for Olivia rindle I think I’ve spent most of my young adult life saving up for a house she recently closed on her first home after securing a $10,000 zero interest down payment loan I could look at more higher end homes that I may not have been able to afford with the 3% down and then also it allows me to kind of put that money back into the home and Alexis joins me now for more on this Alexis the misuse of 0% Down Home Loans played a role in the 2008 financial crisis mortgage crisis and so many people as soon as they hear that they think uhoh so how is this different from what happened then great question and it’s one that I posed to this lender you’re talking about the subprime crisis which of course sparked the 2008 Great Recession they say This Time It’s Different back then Banks were lending money to folks who frankly shouldn’t have been getting these loans they weren’t looking at income or credit scores they say now the criteria is much stricter and they are very choosy about who gets these loans so they’re putting the emphasis on the qualified part of qualified applicants thankfully yes uh what what other options do prospective home buyers have there are lots of options you just need to do a lot of homework 0% uh interest loans for homes is not new the first thing I would do is see if you qualify by doing a quick uh search online to see if your state or local government offers these kinds of loans see if you’re eligible some even offer grants there are a couple of large Banks including Bank of America and City group that also offer similar things and of course if you’re a veteran uh the federal government will extend these kinds of loans to you so I think it’s worth uh doing the the homework and seeing if you qualify and then of course digging in and reading the fine print to understand what it is you’re really signing up for so important all right business repor

covering the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge here in Maryland wherever the story is we’ll take you there you’re streaming ABC News [Music] live hi I’m Diane meedo today on ABC News live first Dr fouchy on Capitol Hill what Republican lawmakers are asking the retired chief medical adviser to the president about CO’s origin the outbreak and how the government responded Hunter Biden’s historic trial is underway jury selection has started as the president Sun faces three federal gun charges what to expect as the child of a sitting president goes on trial for the first time in US history and the Raging wildfire in the west forcing evacuations the fire burning near San Francisco’s just 50% contained we’re on the front lines with the latest but we begin with Dr fouchy on Capitol Hill the former chief medical adviser to the president is testifying today about the Corona virus pandemic and the government’s response to the outbreak ABC’s J O’Brien joins me now on what we can expect from the hearing and Jay what’s the latest from inside yeah that hearing is ongoing right now fouchi is taking questions from Republican lawmakers and you get a sense early on in the questioning because it’s only been going on for a few minutes or so of the wide net that Republicans are trying to cast here the chair of this subcommittee which focuses on the Corona virus pandemic Brad wstr asked fouchy at one point this question in which he said either before during or after the pandemic did you ever have any kind of interaction with members of the intelligence Community about virology and fouche’s response was well first that was his entire career before during or after the pandemic and so he answered the question by saying yeah he might have during uh the post 911 era about things like Anthrax and things of that nature so Republicans are trying to cast this very wide net what they’re looking to do is answer some of the questions that they’ve had for fouchi for quite some time they allege that he tried to uh cover up any kind of knowledge or suspicion that the Corona virus may have leaked from a Chinese Laboratory um despite the fact that the majority of us intelligence agencies have concluded that it comes from an animal rather than a lab although some intelligence communities have have settled on the so-called lab leak Theory fouchy calls any idea that he tried to cover that up or tried to muddy that up a quote unquote false accusation but you can tell already from the questioning that Republicans want a pound of flesh out of Dr fouchy and they are directing at him uh some very pointed questions D he what do you make of the timing why call this now well this is an ongoing inquiry that this committee has had for quite some time this is again the subcommittee that focuses on the pandemic so getting fouchy to appear before this committee is a boon for this committee this is something that they’ve wanted for quite some time Marjorie Taylor green is a member of this committee and she’s sitting in that hearing room and she’s going to question Dr fouchy as well um as for Democrats here what they have said is a they have thanked Dr fouchi for his service during the pandemic they say that things he has done have saved thousands of lives and they accuse Republicans of trying to play politics here and trying to call Dr fouchi in before this committee trying to tarnish his reputation with no real evidence that he was linked to any kind of malfeasance one thing that Republic an are really trying to zero in on here is what they say are alleged attempts to um deny um information to be given over to Federal open records laws meaning Freedom of Information Act fouchy Associates who used private emails who printed out documents as opposed to communicating digitally to try to circumvent Federal records law and they’re trying to tie those Associates too fouchy Democrats have said look that is political and bouchi has said he wasn’t closely related to these people and closely reporting with alongside these people who tried to do these things to circumvent Federal records law Diane all right J O’Brien on Capitol Hill thank you and jury selection is underway in the historic trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing felony charges accused of knowingly lying on a Federal Form about his drug use in order to buy a gun it marks the first time ever the child of a sitting president is going on trial now President Biden says in a statement that he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son ABC News investigative reporter Olivia Rubin joins me now from Delaware outside that Court Olivia what’s the latest on this jury selection the jurors are continuing to stroll into the courtroom one by one to face the questioning from the judge and from both parties about their views on politics their views on guns their views on the defendant and it is sort of getting to that point Diane where politics is starting to come into play two jurors this morning have been excused used after they said that they did think that there was uh politics playing a role in the investigation of Hunter Biden because his father is the president of the United States they both said that they thought that he was being treated too lightly and later on another juror was excused after she offered up her real you know and honest view of President Joe Biden which she said was quote not a good one and remember this is all playing out in front of first lady Jill Biden who is seated in the front row of the courtroom and that dynamic Diane it’s hard to you know underscore just how fascinating it is you know she’s the first lady of the United States and she’s being confronted face to face with just the real honest raw views of everyday Americans offering their blunt assessment at times of her husband’s job performance or of various issues again such as gun control so re really quite fascinating that is sort of the beauty of jury selection just hearing from everyday people so what’s it stake here for Hunter Biden well of course the you know what’s in the front of his mind I’m sure is the reality of conviction and jail time uh there is a lengthy prison sentence that could come as the maximum with these three felonies together they carry a maximum of 25 years in jail which is quite significant I don’t need to tell you that of course there are many legal experts who don’t think that he would get anywhere close to that but still to be sitting in a courtroom awaiting your fate knowing that a verdict will come down guilty or not guilty and that one option is jail time for you has to be weighing you know on you uh your psychology and then of course outside of the you know immediate penalties there is the question of politics of course uh his father Joe Biden is running for president right now he is the current president and there are plenty of those wondering how you know this trial is going to affect that of course it is unprecedented there has never been the child of a sitting president here uh on any sort of trial so you have to wonder in the middle of an election how could it impact if at all the election bid of his father all right investigative reporter Olivia Ruben Olivia thank you and President Biden is backing a permanent ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza the President says Israel’s three-phase plan would stop the fighting release all hostages and help civilians caught in the middle of the war now he’s urging both Israel and Hamas to sign off on it as Israeli forces Advance into Central Rafa let’s bring a Navy news White House correspondent Karen Travers Karen walk us through these phases in the deal how would they work yeah three phases that is what President Biden outlined on Friday Diane as this plan to end the war in Gaza the first phase would be a temporary ceasefire lasting six weeks of full and complete ceasefire involving the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the populated areas of Gaza it would also involve the release of some of the hostages women children older people vulnerable people who are sick and then also the release of some Palestinian Prisoners the second phase this is where it gets tricky that would include going to from that temporary ceasefire to a full permanent ceasefire where Israel would withdraw all of their troops from Gaza the release of all the remaining hostages that is something though that could be a big sticking point that would be negotiated after that six- week period would come to the close and how are Israel and Hamas reacting to this plan so far you know still waiting for official word from Hamas on their reaction to this proposal but over the weekend there were positive responses to this the White House was taking that as good signs and expressing optimism over the weekend National Security spokesman John Kirby said that they were looking to that as signs that it was heading in the right direction and the expectation from the White House Diane was that if Hamas did say that they were accepting this that the Israelis would then follow suit now one thing to emphasize the president said this several times on Friday that this was an Israeli proposal that they put this on the table presented it to Hamas and that the Israelis were on board with it but over the weekend we saw a lot of push back coming out of Israel because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under significant pressure from many sides from the US from cter and Egypt to accept this but then internally from many of his hardliners in his own government who say that this is not something that he can accept because it does not result in the full destruction and complete demolishing of Hamas all right White House correspondent Karen Travers thank you and thousands of families are now Sheltering in what the United Nations cause unspeakable conditions in the Gaza City of conun more than 1 million people have been displaced as the IDF pushes deeper into the Border Town of Rafa Christopher Locker the Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders joins us from Geneva now with more on that Christopher I know it’s a busy time so we appreciate you coming on and I wanted to ask you because I know you’ve spent a lot of time in Gaza recently and specifically in Rafa so what’s it like there right now well Diane I I think the uh the conditions have dramatically deteriorated since my time in Gaza a few weeks ago in fact what we’re seeing and what our teams are seeing is the unfolding of the the horror that we’ve been predicted that would be associated with an offensive into into Rafer um our teams are talking about thousands upon thousands of of people heading up the the coastal road to canun as you were just mentioned and derl Bella in the in the middle area both these areas areas which themselves have been coming under really intensive uh bombing and fighting over the last uh the last few months large districts of uh of K Unis and and daral have been pulverized because of the um the intensity of the the bombing there so people who were who had fled to Rafa who were living in tented um displacement camps have been bombed in those in in those camps uh our teams just last week one night uh received 180 um people that needed to be stabilized and they at the same time unfortunately received uh 28 people who were who were Dead on Arrival many of them who were so badly burnt they they were unidentifiable so we’re really seeing the horror unfolding that we’ve been terrified about for the last few months what do you think if you can even narrow some down what are the biggest humanitarian issues in Gaza right now what has surprised you most I think what has surprised us most is the attacks that have come to the uh to humanitarian assistance and to Medical Care um generally what we’re seeing is fewer and fewer um healthare facilities available every day just this day after the attack I was just talking about the uh the insecurity was so high for our teams that even after treating that many patients one day the next day because of the presence of Israeli forces on the ground we had to evacuate our team so on a daily basis Health structures are depleted in the in in their number and at the same time we’re seeing direct attacks on humanitarian assistance we’ve seen well over 200 humanitarian workers have been killed five from uh from of our own team from Med Sans on Frontier and at the same time being able to get supply into and around the the Gaza Strip is incredibly difficult so it’s an assault on humanitarian assistance from many many different angles and Christopher what’s your reaction to this new permanent ceasefire proposal we’ve been calling along with all the humanitarian or many humanitarian organizations for several months now for the need for a a a permanent a sustained um uh ceasefire I mean first and foremost because the population of of of Gaza have been coming under this intense hostility this this high level of violence for many many months now uh many of of them have been killed uh you know tens of thousands have been killed directly because of this violence and many more are dying because of the silent killings because of the destruction of of of Health Care the inability to be able to to treat people the non the communicable diseases um the malnutrition the diarrhea that is coming into large parts of the the community and so um uh a ceasefire is needed first and foremost for for them and secondly so we can bring in humanitarian assistance in a meaningful way to be able to treat people that so badly need it all right Christopher lock you’re Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders thank you thank you coming up the waging wild excuse me the Raging wildfires in the west ABC News meteorologist smar Theodor is looking ahead to when relief is finally expected for California

massive Wildfire is burning out of control in California the coral fire in sanen county has scorched more than 14,000 acres in Northern California so far at least 100 homes have been forced to evacuate and now firefighters say strong winds and dry grass are making it difficult to contain as 24 million people in the state are on alert for life-threatening triple- digigit heat some our Theodor is standing by with the forecast for us and ABC’s mola langi starts us off from sanen Near That Fire hi mola well yeah Diane firefighters making significant progress here over the last 24 hours in containing this fire as conditions have started to improve but not before some pretty severe damage suffered by this community uh house or what used to be a house completely destroyed there about a 100 people have had to have been evacuated here over the course of the last 48 hours of so evacuated from their homes two firefighters also injured fighting this fire that fire began Saturday afternoon Flames spreading quickly fueled by dry grass high winds and high temperatures ultimately scorching over 20 square miles here in San haen County about 50 Mi east of San Francisco more than 400 Personnel from all over the state responding to help fight this fire uh at this point fire about 50% contained as again conditions have started to improve winds started dying down a bit allowing firefighters to make some progress here over the last 24 hours as a result evacuation orders for homeowners uh have begun uh to be lifted allowing folks back into their homes meanwhile Diane the cause of the fire that remains under investigation all right mola langi in Tracy California thank you let’s bring in AB news meteorologist from our theer with more on how the weather is affecting those firefighting efforts uh Samar we’re looking at wind and Heat Wave so what’s the latest and when can they expect some relief well no time soon in fact tomorrow it’s going to get even hotter there mola is in Tracy 100° just near the fire winds are going to continue to gust upwards of 30 miles hour both today and tomorrow and the humidity that relative humidity is dropping to around 20% that means things are dry winds are picking up and we have the heat so it doesn’t look like they’re going to catch a break as a result an excessive heat warning has been issued for much of central California heat advisory is already in place closer to the coastline and then as we head into tomorrow we’ll start to see these excessive heat watches expanded into places like Phoenix Welton Tucson uh Las Vegas now under an excessive heat warming uh heat warning there so right now we’re looking at the fourth warmest spring on record that’s New York city so out west you can see this is June 8th through 12th not catching much of a break no reprieve here we have much above normal temperatures anticipated this is the climbing Prediction Center and there are saying that on the East Coast though things may be a little cooler than normal in the coming days unfortunately out west that’s not the case now I do want to leave it on this note Sanderson Texas was hit with a tornado on average we send to see the peak of our tornado season around May 275 is what we normally average there and finally I’ll leave you with this Diane not only is there a threat for severe weather this evening but also going into Tuesday for places like de Moy St Joseph Kansas City and Omaha all right ABC news metor Al justor Theodor thank you meanwhile Claudia Shane bomb is making history as Mexico’s first female president the former mayor of Mexico City’s claiming Victory after gaining a statistically irreversible lead with nearly 60% of the vote ABC’s Matt Rivers joins me now from Mexico City with more Matt we saw people celebrating Shane bomb’s victory in the streets last night what’s it like there now yeah I think for the people who were supporting her this is a big day for them and I think that there was a lot of people that were supporting cladia sh Shain bomb in a way that I don’t think the polls really captured the polls were saying all along that of the two leading candidates she was up by about 20 points now we’re looking at a final margin of victory that will likely be somewhere around 30 points so the Mandate is clear the population broadly speaking in Mexico absolutely wanted Claudia Shane bomb to be their next president and they got their wish so for most people in this country you’re looking at approximately about 60% of the country today is a very happy day for them but I will say this is a polarized country so for the people that weren’t supporters of her a lot of them are not supporters of her at all it wasn’t well we’ll choose one or the other no they’re not going to be happy so it kind of depends on who you ask here today Diane and Matt both the leading candidates in this race were women so no matter who won this was going to be historic so how significant is this for Mexico it’s massive it is a Monumental moment in this country this country is 200 years old his first president took office in 1824 this is the first time later on this year on October 1st that a president will uh be a woman in this country country before Canada and its prime minister before the United States and its president Mexico will have a female president so it was historic no matter who was going to win but also on a separate note cladia shanam is Jewish uh which is a big deal also in a country that is very Catholic so if you consider the very Catholic roots of this country the very patriarchal roots of this country throughout its history this will be a momentous uh occasion when Claudia Shen bom takes office in October and Matt the current president backed Shane bomb as the candidate he wanted to succeed him so what does that mean for how she’s expected to lead yeah that President Andres Manuel Lopez orador he’s very very popular here in Mexico his approval rating has hovered around 60% his entire six-year term and he basically handpicked uh Claudia Shin bomb as his successor and so a lot of her political uh heft a lot of her political might comes from his backing and so the question here in Mexico is will she be her own president or will she do what he says to do she says she’s going to be her own president president but only time will tell and I think especially when it comes to US policy uh famously uh amlo as the President is known here has had a very prickly relationship with the United States when it comes to migration when it comes to drug trafficking so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of partner Shin bong will be for whoever the next US president is all right Matt Rivers is in Mexico City Matt thank you coming up Spotify is

start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day’s top stories start here now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming make it your daily first listen wherever you get your podcasts [Music] hi I’m Diane Meo today on ABC News live first Dr fouchy on Capitol Hill what Republican lawmakers are asking the retired chief medical adviser to the president about CO’s origin the outbreak and how the government responded Hunter Biden’s historic trial is underway jury selection has started as the president’s son faces three federal gun charges what to expect as the child of a sitting president goes on trial for the first time in US history and the r ing wildfire in the west forcing evacuations the fire burning near San Francisco’s just 50% contained were on the front lines with the latest but we begin with Dr fouchy on Capitol Hill the former Chief medical adviser to the president is testifying today about the Corona virus pandemic and the government’s response to the outbreak ABC’s Jay O’Brien joins me now on what we can expect from the hearing and Jay what’s the latest from inside yeah that hearing is ongoing right now fouchi is taking questions from Republican lawmakers and and you get a sense early on in the questioning because it’s only been going on for a few minutes or so of the wide net that Republicans are trying to cast here the chair of this subcommittee which focuses on the Corona virus pandemic Brad wstr asked fouchy at one point this question in which he said either before during or after the pandemic did you ever have any kind of interaction with members of the intelligence Community about virology and fouche’s response was well first that was his entire career before dur or after the pandemic and so he answered the question by saying yeah he might have during uh the post 911 era about things like Anthrax and things of that nature so Republicans are trying to cast this very wide net what they’re looking to do is answer some of the questions that they’ve had for fouchy for quite some time they allege that he tried to uh cover up any kind of knowledge or suspicion that the Corona virus may have leaked from a Chinese Laboratory um despite the fact that the majority of us intelligence agencies have concluded that it comes from an animal rather than a lab although some intelligence communities have have settled on the so-called lab leak Theory fouchy calls any idea that he tried to cover that up or tried to muddy that up a quote unquote false accusation but you can tell already from the questioning that Republicans want a pound of flesh out of Dr fouchy and they are directing at him uh some very pointed questions T he what do you make of the timing why call this now well this is an ongoing inquiry that this committee has had for quite some time this is again the subcommittee that focuses on the pandemic so getting fouchy to appear before this committee is a boon for this committee this is something that they’ve wanted for quite some time Marjorie Taylor green is a member of this committee and she’s sitting in that hearing room and she’s going to question Dr fouchy as well um as for Democrats here what they have said is a they have thank Dr fouchy for his service during the pandemic they say that things he has done have saved a thousands of lives and they accuse Republicans of trying to play politics here and trying to call Dr fouchi in before this committee trying to tarnish his reputation with no real evidence that he was linked to any kind of malfeasance one thing that Republicans are really trying to zero in on here is what they say are alleged attempts to um deny um information to be given over to Federal open records laws meaning Freedom of Information Act fouchy Associates who used private emails who printed out documents as opposed to communicating digitally to try to circumvent Federal records law and they’re trying to tie those Associates too fouchy Democrats have said look that is political and Fouch said he wasn’t closely related to these people and closely reporting with alongside these people who tried to do these things to circumvent Federal records law Diane all right Jay O’Brien on Capitol Hill thank you and jury selection is underway in the historic trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing felony charges accused of knowingly lying on a federal form about his drug use in order to buy a gun it marks the first time ever the child of a sitting president is going on trial now President Biden is saying in a statement that he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son ABC News investigative reporter Olivia Rubin joins me now from Delaware Olivia what’s the latest report Diane prospective jurors are facing individual questioning from the judge and both parties as they work to get a jury seated in this case jurors are being brought in one by one and answering questions on their political views what they know about the case their feelings on guns because remember this is a case about owning a gun allegedly illegally and there have been a couple of you know interesting jurors there was one uh woman who said that she worked in the secret service for 24 years her husband was a uniform officer uh at places such as the White House there was another woman who said she volunteered on a number of democratic campaigns including Hillary Clinton in 2008 and it was that juror that prompted the first mention today Diane of President Joe Biden though it was not by name when she gave that answer the judge looked at her and asked if that work her work for Democratic campaigns would give her any problem being fair in a case that involves the son of the sitting Democratic United States President she said it would not but notably Dian these jurors these average you know Delaware residents are coming in and they’re answering these questions in front of the first lady of the United States Joe Biden is seated in the first row of the courtroom watching intently as these you know citizens who will judge Hunter Biden’s fate are answering their questions so what’s at stake here for the president’s Son Well a conviction in potential jail time remember if Hunter is convicted here on these three charges it carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison now of course that would be quite heavy and there are many legal experts who don’t think he would face anywhere near that but that is the immediate consequence of this case there will be a verdict there will be guilty or not guilty and if it is guilty there is jail time significant jail time Diane that comes along with this sentence and there of course you know the political implications which you know people wondering what sort of effect this could have on his father who is of course running for re-election and Olivia I want to ask you more about that because Hunter Biden’s also facing Federal charges in California for alleged tax evasion and that trial set for the fall so with the election in November how is all of this expected to impact the president’s re-election campaign well it is that tax case in California that is even stickier timing wise for President Joe Biden because Hunter is set to go on in early September in a case that could take up you know as much as 6 weeks to two months it seems like it’s going to be a very lengthy case whereas this one here is expected to run about 2 to 3 weeks so that would put the son of Joe Biden on trial potentially in the days leading up to the 2024 November election which is just striking that is a time when voters are highly tuned into the election now you know we are in the early days of summer there is a question is anyone paying attention here you know you can find people on both sides who will argue either way but to have Hunter Biden on trial once again in the most some of the most critical days of the campaign is going to be quite striking and just from having been in the courtroom you know you can sort of feel the presence either you know a number of Secret Service in there uh it’s quite striking and a constant reminder of the political uh Stakes here all right investigative reporter Olivia Rubin thank you and top Republicans are jumping to former president Trump’s defense after the historic guilty verdict in his criminal hush money trial over the weekend Trump slammed the judge and the state’s key witness Michael Cohen now Republicans say the verdict is bringing the party together ABC new senior Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott has the latest the Republican party is ring around Donald Trump after the former president was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records we’re going to show them that oh we’re going to fight Trump defiant as he awaits sentencing saying he’s okay with potentially being sentenced to house arrest or jail time I’m okay with it I saw one one of my lawyers the other day on television saying oh no you don’t want to do that to the Pres I said don’t you don’t beg for anything you just the way it is the former president slamming the verdict as rigged and going after the judge who will decide his fate calling judge Juan Marshawn a devil and even attacking his former fixer Michael Cohen calling him a SLE bag a possible violation of the gag order still in place the former president also struggled to say whether he would pursue revenge against his political enemies if reelected claiming it’s a tough question my revenge will be success and I mean that but it’s awfully hard when you see what they’ve done President Biden slamming his rival and his goop allies for attacking the justice system it’s Reckless it’s dangerous it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict but Republicans quickly coming to Trump’s defense this verdict has actually brought un unifying our party Donald Trump has said that his so-called retro ution will be success as his lawyers now prepare to appeal we plan to vigorously defend president Trump’s rights in the appell at courts all the way up to the US Supreme Court if necessary Diane Trump also suggested there could be a quote breaking point for the public depending on the outcome of his sentencing this morning Democrats calling that in dangerous appeal to political violence and a reminder Trump’s sentencing is set for July 11th that’s just 4 days before the Republican National Convention where the former president will officially accept the party’s nomination I am all right senior Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott thank you and now to a massive Wildfire burning out of control in California the coral fire in sanin county has scorched more than 14,000 acres in Northern California many homes were forced to evacuate over the weekend now firefighters say strong winds and dry grass are making it difficult to contain as 24 million people in the state are on alert for life-threatening triple digigit heat we have Team coverage this morning with ABC’s MOA langi starting us off from sanin olola wildfires that started near the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory about 50 Mi east of San Francisco torching over 20 square miles over the weekend are finally starting to subside several homeowners in sanen County were forced to evacuate my husband came home and he was like you have 5 minutes pack stuff for the kids and he’s like you need to get out of here the Corral fire began Saturday afternoon Flames spread quickly fueled by dry grass high winds and high temperature when we started seeing the Flames we saw how catastrophic it was and the whole Hills were burning Kelsey Alvarez was on a road trip from Florida when she was caught on a highway choked by fire the fire to my left was now right by the highway the median maybe 500 yards ahead had a little bit of fire and then by 7705 the fire seemed to have jumped across the highway more than 400 Personnel from all over the state responded two firefighters injured while battling The Blaze calire are posting this photo of a home they were able to save surrounded by torched grass as of this morning officials say the blaze is 50% contained it’s just a good reminder to be vigilant this is your opportunity to really focus on that defensible space around your homes take that preparedness very seriously well evacuation orders on homeowners have been uh lifted by the fire officials allowing folks to get back into their homes meanwhile Diane the cause of the fire still under investigation all right mola langi in sanen County thank you let’s bring in ABC News meteorologist tomorrow theater with more on how the weather is affecting those firefighting efforts Samara not only are they dealing with wind but California’s in the thick of a heat wave right now what’s the latest on that you know Diane conditions are going to get worse before they get better I’ll tell you that much so in Tracy where mola is close to that fire temperatures tomorrow will hit around 100 degrees we’re also going to see that relative humidity drop about 20% to around 20% so uh that does not help the situation and gust the winds are gusting upwards of 30 mph both today and tomorrow so they’re dealing with the heat the low relative humidity and the winds you can see the wider picture here this is why we have excess heat warnings and watches in effect for this region because triple digit temperatures are on the way Las Vegas 112 that could be a record-breaking Thursday the earliest you’ve seen a temperature go above 110 degrees uh Phoenix around 112 could also be a recordbreaker even in Boise in the mid90s meanwhile on the East Coast Florida gear up for more record heat we’re looking at a record warm spring how many times can I say record right top five warmest Springs wherever you see these red dots look at how much of the eastern half of the country is covered and of course I have to talk to you about the severe weather over the weekend nine tornadoes hit between North Dakota South Dakota and Texas look at this one materializing there in Sanderson Texas it caused damage on the ground uh and we do have another threat for severe weather as we head through the coming hours this is this afternoon damaging wind large Hills we could see some tornadoes pop up Oklahoma City Memphis Dallas uh even as far north as Madison and the final thing that I will say is that we are in a bit of a moderate to severe drought in the Pacific Northwest but they are anticipating to tap into that atmospheric River Diane it get some rain but that is leading to some flood watches all right ABC News meteorologist tomorrow Theodor thank you and the suspected Gilgo Beach serial killers

people have now left Rafa since Israel issued evacuation orders now prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing increasing pressure to take steps to end the war chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce has the latest hi Mary well President Biden is extremely eager to end this eight-month war that has rocked the region and created a foreign and domestic crisis for him and Biden is now taking these negotiations and blowing them wide open detailing publicly for the first time what is on the table with the hopes that it will pressure Hamas and Israel to agree but this morning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing fresh push back that’s really putting him in a in a tough position look President Biden has outlined a three-part plan that could ultimately lead to a permanent ceasefire along with the release of all of the remaining hostages the president’s saying hamas’s capabilities have been significantly degraded that they are no longer capable of carrying out an attack like the one they did on October 7th and that it is time to end this war now the White House is adamant that this was an Israeli proposal and while they are not rejecting it they say their conditions have not changed they want to see hamas’s military and governing capabilities completely destroyed and now two far-right Israeli leaders say they could would bring down netanyahu’s government if he agrees to this that means that right now Netanyahu could potentially be forced to choose between a deal that could end this war and the future of his own government Dian Mary Bruce thank you meanwhile

news reporting from the site of the 2024 Iowa caucuses I’m Victor okendo wherever the story is we’ll take you there you’re streaming ABC News [Music] live hi I’m Dian we want to get right to our top story Dr Fouch is on Capitol Hill for the first time publicly since he retired the former Chief medical adviser to the president is testifying today about the Corona virus pandemic and the government’s response to the outbreak so far fouchi has denied Republican claims that he meddled in research about the virus’s origins the accusation being circulated that I influen these scientists to change their minds by bribing them with millions of dollars in grant money is absolutely false and simply Preposterous I had no input into the content of the published paper ABC’s Jay O’Brien joins me now with more on this Jay what sticks out to you most from this hearing so far well fouchy as you’ve just heard in that sound there is defiant Republican lawmakers had a slate of questions for him some of them relate to Federal public records laws and Associates of fouchi allegedly trying to skirt those Public public records laws but also there are questions to fouchi about the so-called lab leak theory that Co originated from a lab in Wuhan China rather than from an animal as the majority of the US intelligence Community has concluded although there are some intelligence agencies that have concluded that the lab leak theory is more likely fouchy has been pressed by Republican lawmakers on this committee if he tried to suppress that theory because of some kind of connection between the organization that he ran and the institution of of of of allergy and infectious disease and these Chinese Labs particularly in Wuhan here’s fouchy pushing back on that what I’m saying is that I cannot account nor can anyone account for other things that might be going on in China which is the reason why I have always said and will say now I keep an open mind as to what the origin is but the one thing I know for sure is that the viruses that were funded by the NIH phenetically could not be the precursor of s K2 and by the way when you talk about pointed Republican questioning if we go to that feed of the hearing room Marjorie Taylor green is speaking now fouchy is the one who’s on camera but Marjorie Taylor green just moments ago when she was about to speak took out this binder there she is there with a number of visual aids as she’s displaying she has made it clear that she has wanted to question fouchy for quite some time she’s been a member of this committee although the Washington Post reports she’s been missing a number of committee hearings as of L but certainly priority of hers was to bring fouchi before this committee the subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic that was a priority of a number of Republicans on this panel Diane Jay what are the biggest questions that lawmakers want answered today there are really two primary questions that the bulk of the questioning of fouchi have focused on first is that idea of a lab leak Theory and did the NIH as fouchy just denied fund any kind of research Chinese Laboratories that could have contributed to the Corona virus fouchy says that is impossible as you heard him say in that sound the NIH the national instit of Health have also said that’s impossible the other side of this is what I mentioned earlier as it relates to public records laws this committee has uncovered Associates of fouches when he was in the federal government say that they wanted to take some steps to circumvent public records laws using personal emails printing out correspondents and passing it to each other so there was no digital record and what Republicans are trying to do is tie those attempts to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act to fouchy but fouchi is denied that he had any kind of awareness that those employees were trying to skirt that law or that he was involved in any way in those alleged schemes Diane so Jay what happens next well firstly we’re now waiting to see what comes out of this questioning for Marjorie Taylor green as you can tell by the camera shot even without the audio it is getting heated fouchi has been very clear in denying allegations made by Congressional Republicans what comes next in this hearing’s or this committee’s rather overall investigation is that they want more Federal officials to come before this committee certainly fouchy was a Capstone of this investigation but these hearings will continue and another witness for this committee upcoming and soon the committee has said they want to call is Andrew CUO the former Governor of New York all right interesting J O’Brien on Capitol Hill thank you and jury selection is underway in the historic trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing felony charges accused of knowingly lying on a Federal Form about his drug use in order to buy a gun it marks the first time ever the child of a sitting president is going on trial now President Biden says in a statement that he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son ABC News investigative reporter Olivia Rubin joins me now from Delaware outside that Court Olivia what’s the latest on this jury selection the jurors are continuing to stroll into the courtroom one by one to face the questioning from the judge and from both parties about their views on politics their views on guns their views on the defendant and it is sort of getting to that point Diane where politics is starting to come into play two jurors this morning have been excused after they said that they did think that there was uh politics playing a role in the investigation of Hunter Biden because his father is the president of the United States they both said that they thought that he was being treated too lightly and later on another juror was excused after she offered up her real you know and honest view of President Joe Biden which she said was quote not a good one and remember this is all playing out in front of first lady Jill Biden who is seated in the front row of the courtroom and that Dynamic Diane it’s hard to you know underscore just how fascinating it is you know she is the first lady of the United States and she is being confronted face to face with just the real honest ra views of everyday Americans offering their blunt assessment at times of her husband’s job performance or of various issues again such as gun control so re really quite fascinating that is sort of the beauty of jury selection just hearing from everyday people so what’s it stake here for Hunter Biden well of course the you know what’s in the front of his mind I’m sure is the reality of conviction and jail time uh there is a lengthy prison sentence that could come as the maximum with these three felonies together they carry a maximum of 25 years in jail which is quite significant I don’t need to tell you that of course there are many legal experts who don’t think that he would get anywhere close to that but still to be sitting in a court room awaiting your fate knowing that a verdict will come down guilty or not guilty and that one option is jail time for you has to be weighing you know on you uh your psychology and then of course outside of the you know immediate penalties there is the question of politics of course uh his father Joe Biden is running for president right now he is the current president and there are plenty of those wondering how you know this trial is going to affect that of course it is unprecedented there has never been the child of a sitting president here uh on any sort of trial so you have to wonder in the middle of an election how could it impact if at all the election bid of his father all right investigative reporter Olivia ruin Olivia thank you [Applause] President Biden is backing a permanent ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza the President says Israel’s three-phase plan would stop the fighting release all hostages and help civilians caught in the middle of the war now he’s urging both Israel and Hamas to sign off on it as Israeli forces Advance into Central Rafa this as Delta Airlines says it will resume daily non-stop service to Tel Aviv from New York’s JFK Airport this Friday the route was suspended after the October October 7th terror attack in Israel let’s bring in ABC News White House correspondent Karen Travers with more Karen walk us through these phases in the deal how would they work yeah three phases that is what President Biden outlined on Friday Diane as this plan to end the war in Gaza the first phase would be a temporary ceasefire lasting 6 weeks a full and complete ceasefire involving the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the populated areas of Gaza it would also involve the release of some of the hostages women children old people vulnerable people who are sick and then also the release of some Palestinian Prisoners the second phase this is where it gets tricky that would include going to from that temporary ceasefire to a full permanent ceasefire where Israel would withdraw all of their troops from Gaza the release of all the remaining hostages that is something though that could be a big sticking point that would be negotiated after that 6 we period would come to the close and how are Israel and Hamas reacting to this plan so far you know still waiting for official word from Hamas on their reaction to this proposal but over the weekend there were positive responses to this the White House was taking that as good signs and expressing optimism over the weekend National Security spokesman John Kirby said that they were looking to that as signs that it was heading in the right direction and the expectation from the White House Diane was that if Hamas did say that they were accepting this that the Israelis would then follow suit now one thing to emphasize the president said this several times on Friday that this was an Israeli proposal that they put this on the table presented it to Hamas and that the Israelis were on board with it but over the weekend we saw a lot of push back coming out of Israel because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under significant pressure from many sides from the US from cutter and Egypt to accept this but then internally from many of his hardliners in his own government who say that this is not something that he can accept because it does not result in the full destruction and complete demolishing of Hamas all right White House correspondent Karen Travers thank you and thousands of families are now Sheltering in what the United Nations calls unspeakable conditions in the Gaza City of conun more than one million people have been displaced as the IDF pushes deeper into the Bordertown of Rafa Christopher Locker the Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders joins us from Geneva now with more on that Christopher I know it’s a busy time so we appreciate you coming on and I wanted to ask you because I know you’ve spent a lot of time in Gaza recently and specifically in Rafa so what’s it like there right now well Diane I think the uh the conditions have dramatically deteriorated since my time in Gaza a few weeks ago in fact what we’re seeing and what our teams are seeing is the unfolding of the the horror that we’ve been predicted that would be associated with an offensive into inter Raa um our teams are talking about thousands upon thousands of of people heading up the the coastal road to K Yunis as you were just mentioning and derl Bella in the in the middle area both these areas areas which themselves have been coming under really intensive uh bombing and fighting over the last uh the last few months large districts of uh carun and and darl Bella have been pulverized because of the um the intensity of the the bombing there so people who are who had fled to Rafa who were living in tented um displacement camps have been bombed in those in in those camps uh our teams just last week one night uh received 180 um people that needed to be stabilized and they at the same time unfortunately received uh 28 people who were who were Dead on Arrival many of them who were so badly burnt they they were unidentifiable so we’re really seeing the horror unfolding that we’ve been terrified about for the last few months what do you think if you can even narrow sum down what are the biggest humanitarian issues in Gaza right now what has surprised you most I think what is surprised us most is the attacks that have come to the uh to humanitarian assistance and to Medical Care um generally what we’re seeing is fewer and fewer um Health Care Facilities available every day just this day after the attack I was just talking about the uh the insecurity was so high for our teams that even after treating that many patients one day the next day because of the presence of Israeli forces on the ground we had to evacuate our team so on a daily basis Health structures are depleted in their in in their number and at the same time we’re seeing direct attacks on humanitarian assistance we’ve seen well over 200 humanitarian workers have been killed five from uh from of our own team from meds on Frontier and at the same time being able to get supply into and around the the Gaza Strip is incredibly difficult so it’s an assault on human Arian assistance from many many different angles and Christopher what’s your reaction to this new permanent ceas fire proposal we’ve been calling along with all the humanitarian or many humanitarian organizations for several months now for the need for a a a permanent a sustained um ceasefire I mean first and foremost because the population of of of Gaza have been coming under this intense hostility this this high level of violence for many many months now many of them have been killed uh you know tens of thousands have been killed directly because of this violence and many more are dying because of the silent killings because of the destruction of of of healthare the inability to be able to to treat people the non the communicable diseases um the malnutrition the diarrhea that is coming into large parts of the the community and so um uh a ceasefire is needed first and foremost for for them and secondly so we can bring in humanitarian assistance in a meaningful way to be able to treat the people that so badly need it all right Christopher lock you’re Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders thank you thank you coming up the

California the coral fire in sanen county has scorched more than 14,000 acres in Northern California so far at least 100 homes have been forced to evacuate and now firefighters say strong winds and dry grass are making it difficult to contain as 24 million people in the state are on alert for life-threatening triple digigit heat Samar Theodor is standing by with the forecast for us and ABC’s mola langi starts us off from sanen Near That Fire hi mola well yeah Diane firefighters making significant progress here over the last 24 hours in containing this fire as conditions have started to improve but not before some pretty severe damage suffered by this community uh house or what used to be a house completely destroyed there about 100 people have had to have been evacuated here over the course of the last 48 hours of so evacuated from their homes uh two firefighters also injured fighting this fire that fire began Saturday afternoon Flames spreading quickly fueled by dry grass high winds and high temperatures ultimately scorching over 20 square miles here in San haen County about 50 Mi east of San Francisco more than 400 Personnel from all over the state responding to help fight this fire uh at this point fire about 50 % contained as again conditions have started to improve winds started dying down a bit allowing firefighters to make some progress here over the last 24 hours as a result evacuation orders for homeowners uh have begun uh to be lifted allowing folks back into their homes meanwhile Diane the cause of the fire that remains under investigation all right mola langi in Tracy California thank you let’s bring in ABC News meteorologist tomor theater with more on how the weather is affecting those firefighting efforts uh some tomorrow we’re looking at wind and a heat wave so what’s the latest and when can they expect some relief well no time soon in fact tomorrow it’s going to get even hotter there where mola is in Tracy 100° just near the fire winds are going to continue to gust upwards of 30 miles per hour both today and tomorrow and the humidity that relative humidity is dropping to around 20% that means things are dry winds are picking up and we have the heat so it doesn’t look like they’re going to catch a break as a result and excessive heat warning has been issued for much of central California heat advisory is already in place closer to the coastline and then as we head into tomorrow we’ll start to see these excessive heat watches expanded into places like Phoenix Welton Tucson uh Las Vegas now under an excessive heat warming uh heat warning there so right now we’re looking at the fourth warmest spring on record that’s New York city so out west you can see this is June 8 through 12th not catching much of a break no reprieve here we have much above normal temperatures anticipated this is the climbing Prediction Center and they’re saying that on the East Coast though things may be a little cooler than normal in the coming days unfortunately out west that’s not the case now I do want to leave it on this note Sanderson Texas was hit with a tornado on average we sent to see the peak of our tornado season around May 275 is what we normally average there and finally I’ll leave you with this Diane not only is there a threat for severe weather this evening but also going into Tuesday for places like de Moy St Joseph Kansas City and Omaha all right ABC News meteorologist some our the or thank you meanwhile Claudia Shane bomb is making history as Mexico’s first female president the former mayor of Mexico City is claiming Victory after gaining a statistically irreversible lead with nearly 60% of the vote ABC’s Matt Rivers joins me now from Mexico City with more Matt we saw people celebrating Shane bomb’s victory in the streets last night what’s it like there now yeah I think for the people who were supporting her this is a big day for them and I think that there was a lot of people that were supporting CL a sh chain bomb in a way that I don’t think the polls really captured the polls were saying all along that of the two leading candidates she was up by about 20 points now we’re looking at a final margin of victory that will likely be somewhere around 30 points so the Mandate is clear the population broadly speaking in Mexico absolutely wanted Claudia Shane bomb to be their next president and they got their wish so for most people in this country you’re looking at approximately about 60% of the country today is a very happy day for them but I will say this is a polarized country so for the people that weren’t supporters of her a lot of them are not supporters of her at all it wasn’t well we’ll choose one or the other no they’re not going to be happy so it kind of depends on who you ask here today Diane and Matt both the leading candidates in this race were women so no matter who won this was going to be historic so how significant is this for Mexico it’s massive it is a Monumental moment in this country this country is 200 years old his first president took office in 1824 this is the first time later on this year on October 1st that a president will uh be a woman in this country before Canada and its prime minister before the United States and its president Mexico will have a female president so it was historic no matter who was going to win but also on a separate note cladia shanam is Jewish uh which is a big deal also in a country that is very Catholic so if you consider the very Catholic roots of this country the very patriarchal roots of this country throughout its history this will be a momentous uh occasion when Claudia Shen bom takes office in October and Matt the current president backed Shane bum as the candidate he wanted to succeed him so what does that mean for how she’s expected to lead yeah that President Andres Manuel Lopez orador he’s very very popular here in Mexico his approval rating has hovered around 60% his entire six-year term and he basically handpicked uh Claudia Shin bomb as his successor and so a lot of her political uh heft a lot of her political might comes from his backing and so the question here in Mexico is will she be her own president or will she do what says to do she says she’s going to be her own president but only time will tell and I think especially when it comes to US policy uh famously uh amlo as the President is known here has had a very prickly relationship with the United States when it comes to migration when it comes to drug trafficking so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of partner Shin bong will be for whoever the next US president is all right Matt river is in Mexico City Matt thank you coming up Spotify is Raising prices what you need to know about the changes coming to the

part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcasts start here welcome back to ABC News live first high protein food products are on the rise thanks to the popularity of certain medications used for weight loss as more people use drugs like wovi Manjaro and Zep bound more and more companies are now creating products ranging from Pizza to pastry all focused on building protein to avoid muscle loss Becky Worley has more on what to look out for what to eat when you’re not hungry on a zic and mararo high protein products are all the rage they’re your standard protein shakes and bars but protein chips protein pastries Donuts there’s even some Waters that have some added protein in there now this push for protein is likely attributed to the rise in new obesity drugs like wovi in Zep bound bisha Cooper of Texas says she lost 76 lbs on Monaro a drug some use for weight loss and says her doctor told her to increase her protein intake to prevent muscle loss in the beginning it was super hard because um she had set a goal for me to get 90 grams and so I was like oh my goodness that’s so much protein the marketing push to people on weight loss drugs so intense that nutrition chain GNC launched a glp1 support section in all of its stores with lots of protein products and the world’s largest food company Nestle announced a new line of $5 items like frozen pizzas and protein enriched pastas hitting the shelves in October other companies offering high protein prepared meals when someone’s on these medications do their dietary needs change dramatically from say someone who’s not receiving medications for weight loss yeah it’s important to remember that when you lose weight you’re losing both uh fat mass and fat mass or or muscle right Specialists say one way patients taking weight loss medications can try and maintain muscle mass when losing weight is by making sure they eat enough protein it has definitely helped with just me building muscle a focus that’s better for those on weight loss medications and for many of us just trying to eat a healthier diet talking to your doctor about what’s right for you is a key but one thing to consider some preliminary studies suggest that protein should really be consumed consistently throughout the day so that means trying to avoid eating just one high protein meal at dinner for example and remember one of the most important aspects of maintaining muscle mass is resistance exercise lifting it’s key it’s a leg day for me and you cannot Skip Leg Day Diane oh we all know that Becky worly

people need to know about eating these high protein products and incorporating more protein into diet in general D I think the first thing that people should understand is how incredibly important protein is for our bodies we often think about protein as it’s related to muscles but it’s also an important building block of our skin our bones cells hormones vitamins so many things that are needed for our bodies to function properly now people who take OIC often report feeling full quickly or exploded so it’s important that you start your meals with nutrient-dense Foods especially foods that are high in protein and also we run the risk of losing protein with any weight loss plan not just with these medications and that can be risky so people might say how much protein do I need it’s easy to say Hey try to get 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal now to put this in reference one egg about six to seven grams of protein one serving of meat or poultry or seafood could be 20 to 30 vegetarian options like beans or tofu could give you about 10 to 15 gram per serving people might see those calculators online they can be a little confusing in general if you divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 you get kilograms you multiply that by around 08 to 1.5 and you’ll get roughly how much protein you need per day based on your weight how active you are if this is confusing this is why it’s so important to work with a dietitian and Healthcare professional as you are going on any weight loss Journey what else can people do to try to counter that muscle loss I think two important things to mention here is number one resistance training this is any type of workout when your muscles your body is moving against a force think calisthetics like push-ups think weight training or leg day as Becky just mentioned this is not only important for maintaining your muscle mass fighting off that that muscle loss or sarcopenia but also putting on and maintaining muscle is important for pushing off your risk of chronic disease and also I got to mention when it comes to taking in more protein I know it’s tempting and convenient to go and buy supplements or prepackaged products remember these products could be processed and loaded with harmful additives potentially unhealthy sources of fat and sugar so when in doubt Whole Food minimally processed foods are best you’ll get a healthy source of protein complete with amino acids fiber iron other vitamins and nutrion so when and doubt choose whole complete foods that anyone can recognize all right great advice Dr Dr Patel thank you thank you and 0% down mortgages are making a comeback one company is now letting qualified buyers purchase a home without putting any money down and critics say it’s bringing back some memories of the 2008 mortgage crisis ABC News business reporter Lexus christopherus has the details a new option for prospective home buyers struggling to find the money for a down payment the lender United Wholesale Mortgage letting qualified buyers purchase a home without putting any money down and with Rising home prices and mortgage rates now back above 7% it’s grabbing lots of attention since launching the 0% down purchase plan two weeks ago the lenders received over 2,000 loan applications the biggest obstacle to home ownership is the down payment and this down payment assistance program solves that for most consumers Across America to be eligible you must not have owned a home for at least three years meet certain income and credit score requirements and use a mortgage broker qualified borrowers can receive $155,000 or up to 3% of the purchase price of a home whichever is less but experts say it’s important to remember it’s not a gift but a second loan in addition to your mortgage it’s not a freebie in other words you have to pay this money back if you refinance sell the house or pay off the mortgage you must pay back the down payment Loan in full this 0% down payment promotion could be golden handcuffs in a way if it either prevents you from refinancing or makes it more difficult and expensive to refinance that was not a deal breaker for Olivia reyle I think I’ve spent most of my young adult life saving up for a house she recently closed on her first home after securing a $110,000 zero interest down payment loan I could look at more higher end homes that I may not have been able to afford with a 3% down and then also it allows me to kind of put that money back into the home and Alexis joins me now for more on this Alexis the misuse of 0% Down Home Loans played a role in the 2008 financial crisis mortgage crisis and so many people as soon as they hear that they think uhoh so how is this different from what happened then great question and it’s one that I posed to this lender you’re talking about the subprime mortgage crisis which of course sparked the 2008 Great Recession they say This Time It’s Different back then Banks were lending money to folks who frankly shouldn’t have been getting loans they weren’t looking at income or credit scores they say now the criteria is much stricter and they are very choosy about who gets these loans so they’re putting the emphasis on the qualified part of qualified applicants thankfully yes uh what what other options do perspective home buyers have there are lots of options you just need to do a lot of homework 0% uh interest loans for homes is not new the first thing I would do is see if you qualify by doing a quick uh search online to see if your state or local government offers these kinds of loans see if you’re eligible some even offer grants there are a couple of large Banks including Bank of America and City group that also offer similar things and of course if you’re a veteran uh the federal government will extend these kinds of loans to you so I think it’s worth uh doing the the homework and seeing if you qualify and then of course digging in and reading the fine print to understand what it is you’re really signing up for so important all right business report Alexis Christoper always great to have you thank you thanks coming up the hard foul on Caitlyn Clark making headlines what

latest outside the courtroom plus history down south Mexico electing its first ever female and first ever Jewish president we’re in Mexico City breaking it all down and so much for the fundamentals shares of GameStop surging more than 30% today based on a single social media post and pretty much nothing else should you be buying good afternoon everyone I’m Stephanie Ramos our top story this hour jury selection is underway in the trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing three felony charges related to his efforts to obtain a firearm in 2018 while prosecutors say he lied about being addicted to drugs under Biden pleaded not guilty last September after being indicted by special counsel David Weiss and marks the first time the child of a sitting president has gone to trial in a statement President Biden says he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son for more on this let’s bring in investigative reporter who is outside the court in Wilmington along with legal contributor Brian buckmeyer and of course our investigative reporter Olivia Rubin there Olivia I want to start with you what is the latest in this jury selection so far Stephanie on jury selection goes with the questioning of individual jurors they have been added for over 4 hours this morning they have questioned almost 50 jurors who have come into the court room one by one in front of Hunter Biden and Jill Biden first lady who is seated in the first row and they’ve answered you know quite personal questions about their views on guns their views on uh you know uh mental addiction and drug addiction how that has affected their life meant to probe all of the issues at this case and if they have anything that might prevent them from being fair and impartial partial a number of jurors have been potential jurors have been struck immediately saying that they have certain things in their life that means that they would not be able to be fair and impartial and just most recently the most recent juror who was struck said that he had been reading about the case on Fox and Newsmax of course those are right leaning outlets and said that what he had heard about the case from those Outlets would mean that he could not be fair and impartial and he didn’t want to lie about that so on they go coming up with this pool of jurors and then they will work to whittle that down of course to the 12 ultimately who will decide this case and I just want to underscore so striking to see Jill Biden sitting in the front row watching every single prospective juror coming into that courtroom she is taking copious notes and she’s just hearing sort of these raw unfiltered views of everyday Americans who her husband represents and their life struggles their life you know successes and every was very very striking Stephanie it certainly is Olivia you’re you’re going from one trial to another Brian I want to bring you in on this so in terms of jury selection what are you looking for so far and what do you think uh right now as as as we’re kind of really early into this still yeah so Stephanie what I’m looking into while I watch jury selection what are the themes and ideas that both the prosecution and the defense are raising here there are a lot of major issues I think that need to be addressed in this in a case like this uh of course there’s no surprise it’s Hunter Biden so their politics plays some bit of a of a piece into this how do you feel about him uh addiction is a major issue in this country and we know it’s going to be a major issue when it comes to the falsification of these documents the lying and the possession of a firearm and then of course gun possession as well and so I think for the defense I want to see are they looking for an empathetic Durer who’s going to understand that addiction has its es and flows that a person can go to rehab and and and truthfully believe that they’re no longer using no nor are they no longer addicted um I also looking to the government in terms of their prosecution and saying hey if you just follow the documents and you follow what he says so you’re going to convict and so I’m looking to see how they try to weave in their case into this jury selection it’ll be interesting to watch Olivia Hunter bided admits being addicted to drugs but he says he was not when he filled out the form for a gun so how are his lawyers planning to defend this case well it’s a great question Stephanie and they have kept their cards a bit close to the vest on this but that is something that we’ve already seen arising in jury selection Hunter’s attorney Abby Lowel has been repeatedly asking jurors who uh you know are sharing their thoughts on guns and filling out the form if they would be okay with someone who was once addicted but no longer addicted to drugs having a gun so he seems to indicate that he is going to defend that Hunter Biden was no longer addicted when he filled out this form he also seems to be poised to raise a number of issues regarding the evidence in this case for example uh one of the pieces of alleged evidence here is that the pouch that Hunter Biden kept his gun on had cocaine residue on it and of course it was multiple years from the time that the pouch was recovered to when it was ultimately tested for substances and we do expect that uh LEL might raise questions about the chain of custody of that pouch what happened to it in those multiple years from when it was recovered to when it was ultimately tested with the cocaine so a number of avenues that they could try to thread there but again the question is how do you prove that Hunter was not addicted at the time in October of 2018 when he bought the gun prosecutors are going to bring in his statements from his Memoir when he talks about being addicted at that time so it could be possible that there’s maybe some evidence that Abby LEL has up his sleeve that we just don’t know about yet and we will definitely be watching Olivia thank you so much and Brian thanks to you as well turning now to the latest on Capitol Hill Dr Anthony fouchy is sitting before Congress for the first time since he left the government in 2022 as he faces intense screw from House Republicans as they continue to scrutinize his response to the covid-19 pandemic and its Origins kicking off the hearing fouchy forcefully denied claims that he tried to sway scientists away from concluding the virus came from a lab here’s a clip the accusation being circulated that I influenced these scientists to change their minds by bribing them with millions of dollars in grant money is absolutely false and simply Preposterous I had no input into the content of the published paper ABC’s J O’Brien is on Capitol Hill following the latest Jay uh we heard there from Dr Anthony fouchy that’s a short clip but what are the highlights so far this morning well Stephanie there are really two themes that have hung over this hearing the first as you just noted are fouchy strong denials of the accusations that House Republicans have laid At His Feet not just muddying up this idea they claim of quote unquote lab leak Theory they say fouchy tried to pour cold water on that theory but also saying that he was involved in his subordinates attempts to try to get around Federal public records law by using personal emails or by printing out correspondents fouchy said that he had no knowledge of any of that House Republicans do have evidence that Fouch subordinates engaged in that that was one theme of this hearing the other theme of this hearing is Republicans clear desire to exert a pound of flesh out of Fouch they have criticized his handling of the pandemic they have criticized his his views or what they believe to be his views on for instance the lab leak Theory and then of course in some instances there are Republicans in this committee that have just tried to degrade fouchy margorie Taylor green is a chief example there was this exchange not long ago in the proceedings in which margerie Taylor green said she refused to call Dr fouchy doctor because she believes he didn’t deserve the title Jamie Rasin a top Democrat on this committee hit back and he said I’ll quote him are we allowed to deny that a doctor is a doctor just because we don’t want him to be a doctor margorie Taylor green hits back and says yes because in my time meaning the time in which she was asking her questions that man does not deserve to have a license so that’s just a snapshot into what these proceedings have looked like this morning Stephanie and Jay we also know that during that time Dr fouchy received a number of threats he was asked to describe those threats that he received uh when he took on the role of Chief pic adviser let’s take a listen it is very Troublesome to me um it is much more Troublesome because they’ve involved my wife and my three daughters and Jay what more can you tell us about those comments and and what else Dr fouchi said about those threats well it’s interesting because that reference of those threats and what he’s gone through as he illuminated that for the committee it also connects with a theme that Democrats try to escape establish over the course of these proceedings which was in effect apologizing to Dr fouchi that he had to be there in the first place Jamie Rasin again a top Democrat on this panel because this is a subcommittee of the oversight Committee in which Jamie Rasin is the top Democrat apologized to Dr fouchy that he even had to be there in the first place he said this was political he said Republicans to paraphrase Raskin were treating fouchy like a criminal is the word that he used and he tried to draw a kind of analogy to the Trump trial but all of that to say is Democrats made a point to try to defend Dr fouchy here a and and condemning some instances the allegations of fouchy subordinates who try to circumvent public records law but also try to insulate fouchy and thank him for his Decades of Public Service particularly during the pandemic Stephanie Jay thank you so much Jay O’Brien for us on Capitol Hill thanks let’s move on to the West Coast two firefighters have been injured after battling a massive wildfire near San Francisco the Corral fire in san hin county has burned 14,000 Acres of mostly dry grassland about 50 miles east of the Bay Area more than a 100 homes were evacuated over the weekend all of this happening as parts of California Arizona and Nevada prepare for a dangerous Heat wve starting tomorrow I’m joined Now by ABC News meteorologist Samar Theodore with the forast and samor what can you tell us about what’s going on at West well I’ll tell you Steph you know it doesn’t look like they have a reprieve inight the next couple of days going to be extremely hot so tomorrow near Tracy or in Tracy near the fire we’re anticipating temperatures reach on 100 100 degrees not only that tomorrow the relative humidity drops by to around 20% so that means that it’s really dry out there and winds will continue to gust upwards of 30 miles hour both today and tomorrow as a result of those temperatures really jumping into the triple digits we have had heat alerts issued and excessive heat warning through throughout Central California heat advisory closer to the coastline and then as we head to the middle of the week the successive heat watch for Phoenix Welton and Tucson Las Vegas could be looking at record-breaking temperatures on Thursday the earliest they’ve seen a temperature jump above 110 degrees we’re predicting about 112 degrees in Las Vegas on Thursday even hot and Boise in the low 90s and not much of a break in sight this is June 8th through 12th the climate Prediction Center tells us what the general temperature consensus is and we’re looking at much above normal temperatures sou West meanwhile in the middle of the country on the East Coast we could be a little bit cooler than normal I want to switch gears a little bit and talk about the severe weather threat cuz we also have that in play Sanderson Texas nine tornadoes took place over the weekend in North Dakota South Dakota and Texas you can see this one materializing on the video there and during the month of May that’s our Peak uh so we just came out of that 275 tornadoes on average I’ll leave it here as we head through this evening there is another threat of acve severe weather looming specifically from Oklahoma City Dallas Monroe greenwind and lkin there we could see damaging winds large Hill and the potential for tornadoes Stephanie so much to watch to start the week Samara thank you coming up her story is made Mexico elects Claudia Shin bomb a woman president for the

News live you’re streaming ABC News live ABC news live streaming free everywhere America’s number one streaming news it’s lunchtime in America so what are we serving up well how about everything you need to know you know that sounds pretty good your health your money breaking news Pup Culture with the biggest Stars music Trends and of course good food GMA 3 what you need to know a third hour of GMA in the afternoon so join us afternoon for everything you need to know I love [Music] that thanks for streaming with us Mexico has elected its first woman president in the country’s 200e history climate scientists and former Mexico City mayor is the projected winner of the presidential elections there Claudia Shin bom winning the election by a landslide with more than 60% of the vote Shin Bal is part of the current president’s morina party and is also the first person elected from a Jewish background in a deeply Catholic country for more on this let’s bring in Matt rivers from Mexico City and Matt talk about the historic significance of Mexico electing its first female president yeah you know you alluded to it there I mean we’re talking about a very Catholic country deeply Catholic country so the fact that she is Jewish is certainly a change from tradition in this country but also you’re talking about a society and therefore the politics of this country being deeply patriarchal 200 years of history in this Mexican Republic never once has a female head of state be elected and yet here we are with cloudia shanbom the former mayor of Mexico City uh now will become the head of state when she takes office on October 1st it is a Monumental Day in Mexico history no matter your politics whether you like her whether you don’t like her it doesn’t matter in this particular regard uh she is making history no question about it she certainly is and Mexico has seen the most election related violence in its history during this political season why is that and how dangerous is it for regional candidates to run in their local elections yeah sure I mean it’s a huge deal in the sense that I mean just look at the numbers right according to Mexican consulting firm integralia who tracks this kind of thing more than 230 people were killed as a result of election related violence in just this past election cycle hundreds more were threatened assaulted attempted homicides more than three dozen candidates themselves were killed the reason behind it largely organized crime especially on the municipal level when you consider organized crime you have to consider where they operate and how they operate and they do so primarily at least at the local level by controlling those governments it allows them to operate with impunity and so if you kill a candidate that stands in your way or if you kill a candidate you think by putting them out of the the way you could increase your business opportunity as crude as it is to talk in those terms when you’re talking about human life that’s the way organized crime operates in this country and unfortunately that problem has only gotten worse since the last election cycle in 2021 yeah it’s been awful to watch let’s talk a little bit about their platforms the the current president and and her platform we know that Claudia Shin B was backed by the current president of Mexico who’s a leader who is the leader of the mon political party are there differences in their platforms well that’s what we’re going to have to wait and see there’s no question that Claudia Shen bom is the Pro of the current president Andres Manuel Lopez orador uh she owes a lot of her political popularity to basically hitching her wagon to his horse I mean he’s an extremely popular politician if a very polarizing po politician and yet they have really aligned on a lot of things but when she was mayor of Mexico City she did take certain policy positions that were at odds with his presidency so the big question that everybody has here now is well how will she be as president will she F in his footsteps famously with such things as prickly relationships with the United States both during the Trump and now the Biden administrations or will she chart a different path that might see uh uh more friendly environmental policies more Progressive policies a friendlier relationship with the United States these are questions that are yet to be answered it’s certainly a question that a lot of people here in Mexico are asking uh one day after this election Matt Rivers for us in Mexico City thank you so much right now in Israel protesters are on the streets of Tel Aviv as they try to push the Israeli government to accept a permanent ceasefire deal that would free hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th that comes as President Biden has endorsed a proposal that would stop the fighting release the hostages and move all Israeli forces out of populated areas in Gaza I’m joined Now by ABC News foreign correspondent Marcus Moore in Tel Aviv along with ABC News National Security and defense analyst MC mroy Marcus I want to start with you Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just addressed these negotiations what did he say well Stephanie this is the first time we’ve heard from prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu since President Biden came out with that that latest ceasefire deal or proposal on Friday and uh tonight the Prime Minister saying that uh Israel must work to bring the hostages home and at the same time dismantle Hamas he went on to say in part that this is something uh that he’s not adding because he was U uh has faced pressure in the the Coalition that it’s something that the unanimously unanimously agreed on in the war cabinet that’s just a bit of what the Prime Minister said this even evening and it comes uh amidst protests as you just mentioned that are are happening as we speak here in Tel Aviv many of them are relatives of those who are still being held hostage they have been imploring the Israeli government uh to reach a deal Stephanie they feel like this um is the moment for them to finally be reunited with their loved ones and they don’t want to miss the opportunity yeah this certainly could be that moment Mick I I want to turn to you uh let’s talk about some of this pressure on Netanyahu he has the protesters and also President Biden pulling him in One Direction but then members of his own government pulling him in another how much pressure is he under right now or none at all do you think he’s pretty clearheaded on what he’s going to do Stephanie I think he’s on a lot of pressure he’s got the far right of his government threatening to leave he’s got the middle uh in Benny Gant uh threatening to leave on June 8th and of course he has the families of the hostages that really want to see understandably their family members released so and then he has the United States of course with the most significant security partner of Israel who really wants to see a ceasefire in this in this war so a lot of pressure uh that’s why he’s prime minister uh but right now this is the best agreement I think that Israel is going to get and Hamas is going to get and if it doesn’t happen this is probably the last opportunity it will do a lot I think for Israel it will get the hostages released it will really move them out of this uh non-stop conflict uh in in the Rafa area and of course it will help uh Hamas stop from being completely obliterated uh right now and bring in a lot of humanitarian Aid into Gaza so there’s things on both sides that are good and and things on both sides that are not so good but that’s part of a compromise when it comes to something as significant as the ceasefire in a conflict and this is of course the third phase of the current ceasefire proposal deal with Gaza we will see if it LS out Marcus Mo and Mick mroy thank you both coming up the meme Strikes Back why shares of video game company GameStop are

begins today in the trial of President Biden’s son who faces three felony gun charges we’ve got the latest outside the courtroom plus history down south Mexico electing its first ever female and first ever Jewish president we’re in Mexico City breaking it all down and so much for the fundamentals shares of GameStop surging more than 30% today based on a single social media post and pretty much nothing else should you be buying good afternoon I’m Stephanie Ramos our top story this hour jury selection is underway in the trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing three felony charges related to his efforts to obtain a firearm in 2018 prosecutors say he lied about being addicted to drugs Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty last September after being indicted by Council David Weiss it marks the first time the adult child of a sitting president has gone to trial in a statement President Biden says he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son for more on this let’s bring in legal contributor Brian buckmire and of course our investigative reporter Olivia Rubin there Olivia I want to start with you what is the latest in this jury selection so far Stephanie on jury selection goes with the questioning of indiv idual jurors they have been at it for over 4 hours this morning they have questioned almost 50 jurors who have come into the courtroom one by one in front of Hunter Biden and Jill Biden first lady who is seated in the first row and they’ve answered you know quite personal questions about their views on guns their views on uh you know uh mental addiction and drug addiction how that has affected their life meant to probe all of the issues at this case and if they have anything that might prevent them from being fair and imperal partial a number of jurors have been potential jurors have been struck immediately saying that they have certain things in their life that means that they would not be able to be fair and impartial and just most recently the most recent juror who was struck said that he had been reading about the case on Fox and Newsmax of course those are right leaning outlets and said that what he had heard about the case from those Outlets would mean that he could not be fair and impartial and he didn’t want to lie about that so on they go coming up with this pool of jurors and then they will work toward Whittle that down of course to the 12 ultimately who will decide this case and I just want to underscore so striking to see Jill Biden sitting in the front row watching every single prospective juror coming into that courtroom she is taking copious notes and she’s just hearing sort of these raw unfiltered views of everyday Americans who her husband represents and their life struggles their life you know successes and every is very very striking Stephanie it certainly is Olivia you’re you’re going from one trial to another Brian I want to bring you in on this so in terms of jury selection what are you looking for so far and what do you think uh right now as as as we’re kind of really early into this still yeah so Stephanie what I’m looking into while I watch jury selection what are the themes and ideas that both the prosecution and the defense are raising here there are a lot of major issues I think that need to be addressed in this in a case like this uh of course there’s no surprise it’s Hunter Biden so their politics plays some bit of a of a piece into this how do you feel about him uh addiction is a major issue in this country and we know it’s going to be a major issue when it comes to the falsification of these documents the lying and the possession of a firearm and then of course gun possession as well and so I think for the defense I want to see are they looking for an empathetic durur who’s going to understand that addiction has its es and flows that a person can go to rehab and and and truthfully believe that they’re no longer using no nor are they no longer addicted um I also looking to the government in terms of their prosecution and saying hey if you just follow the documents and you follow what he says are you going to convict and so I’m looking to see how they try to weave in their case into this jury selection it’ll be interesting to watch Olivia Hunter bed admits being addicted to drugs but he says he was not when he filled out the form for a gun so how are his lawyers planning to defend this case well it’s a great question Stephanie and they have kept their cards a bit close to the best on this but that is something that we’ve already seen arising in jury selection Hunter’s attorney Abby Lowel has been repeatedly asking jurors who uh you know are sharing their thoughts on guns and filling out the form if they would be okay with someone who was once addicted but no longer addicted to drugs having a gun so he seems to indicate that he is going to defend that Hunter Biden was no longer addicted when he filled out this form he also seems to be poised to raise a number of issues regarding the evidence in this case for example uh one of the pieces of alleged evidence here is that the pouch that Hunter Biden kept his gun on had cocaine residue on it and of course it was multiple years from the time that the pouch was recovered to when it was ultimately tested for substances and we do expect that uh LEL might raise questions about the chain of custody of that pouch what happened to it in those multiple years from when it was recovered to when it was ultimately tested with the cocaine so a number of avenues that they could try to thread there but again the question is how do you prove that Hunter was not addicted at the time in October of 2018 when he bought the gun prosecutors are going to bring in his statements from his Memoir when he talks about being addicted at that time so it could be possible that there’s maybe some evidence that Abby LEL has up his sleeve that we just don’t know about yet and we will definitely be watching Olivia thank you so much and Brian thanks to you as well turning now to the latest on Capitol Hill Dr Anthony fouchy is sitting before Congress for the first time since he left the government in 2022 as he faces intense scrutiny from House Republicans as they continue to scrutinize his response to the covid-19 pandemic and its Origins kicking off the hearing fouchy forcefully denied claims that he tried to sway scientists away from concluding the virus came from a lab here’s a clip the accusation being circulated that I influenced these scientists to change their mind Mind by bribing them with millions of dollars in grant money is absolutely false and simply Preposterous I had no input into the content of the published paper ABC’s J O’Brien is on Capitol Hill following the latest Jay uh we heard there from Dr Anthony fouchy that’s a short clip but what are the highlights so far this morning well Stephanie there are really two themes that have hung over this hearing the first as you just noted are fouchy strong denials of the accusations that House Republicans have laid At His Feet not just muddying up this idea they claim of a quote unquote lab leak Theory they say fouchy tried to pour cold water on that theory but also saying that he was involved in his subordinates attempts to try to get around Federal public records law by using personal emails or by printing out correspondence fouchy said that he had no knowledge of any of that House Republicans do have evidence that Fouch subordinates engaged in that that was one theme of this hearing the other theme of this hearing is Republicans clear desire to exert a pound of flesh out of fouchy they have criticized his handling of the pandemic they have criticized his his views or what they believe to be his views on for instance the lab leak Theory and then of course in some instances there are Republicans in this committee that have just tried to degrade fouchy margorie Taylor green is a chief example there was this exchange not long ago in the proceedings in which margerie Taylor green said she refused to call call Dr fouchy doctor because she believes he didn’t deserve the title Jamie Rasin a top Democrat on this committee hit back and he said I’ll quote him are we allowed to deny that a doctor is a doctor just because we don’t want him to be a doctor Marjorie Taylor green hits back and says yes because in my time meaning the time in which she was asking her questions that man does not deserve to have a license so that’s just a snapshot into what these proceedings have looked like this morning Stephanie and Jay we also know that during that time Dr received a number of threats he was asked to describe those threats that he received uh when he took on the role of Chief pandemic adviser let’s take a listen it is very Troublesome to me um it is much more Troublesome because they’ve involve my wife and my three daughters and Jay what more can you tell us about those comments and and what else Dr fouchi said about those threats well it’s interesting because that reference of those threats and what he’s gone through as he illuminated that for the committee it also connects with a theme that Democrats tried to establish over the course of these proceedings which was in effect apologizing to Dr fouchi that he had to be there in the first place Jamie Rasin again a top Democrat on this panel because this is a subcommittee of the oversight Committee in which Jamie Raskin is the top Democrat apologized to Dr fouchy that he even had to be there in the first place he said this was political he said Republicans to paraphrase Rasin were treating fouchy like a criminal is the word that he used and he tried to draw a kind of analogy to the Trump trial but all of that to say is Democrats made a point to try to defend Dr fouchy here and and condemn in some instances the allegations of fouchy subordinates who try to circumvent public records law but also try to insulate fouchy and thank him for his Decades of Public Service particularly during the pandemic Stephanie Jay thank you so much Jay O’Brien for us on Capitol Hill thanks let’s move on to the West Coast two firefighters have been injured after battling a massive Wildfire near San Francisco the Corral fire in san hin county has burned 14,000 Acres of mostly dry grassland about 50 miles east of the Bay Area more than a 100 homes were evacuated over the weekend all of this happening as parts of California Arizona and Nevada prepare for a dangerous Heat Wave starting tomorrow I’m joined Now by ABC News meteorologist tomorrow Theodore with the forecast and tomorrow what can you tell us about what’s going on at West well I’ll tell you Steph you know it doesn’t look like they have a reprieve in sight the next couple of day is going to be extremely hot so tomorrow near Tracy or in Tracy near the fire we’re anticipating temperatures reach on 100 degrees not only that tomorrow the relative humidity drops by to around 20% so that means that it’s really dry out there and winds will continue to gust upwards of 30 mph both today and tomorrow as a result of those temperatures really jumping into the triple digits we have had heat alerts issued an excessive heat warning through throughout Central California heat advisory closer to the coastline and then as we head to the middle of the week the successive heat watch for Phoenix Welton and Tucson Las Vegas could be looking at record-breaking temperatures on Thursday the earliest they’ve seen a temperature jump above 110 degrees we’re predicting about2 degrees in Las Vegas on Thursday even hot and Boise in the low 90s and not much of a break inside this is June 8th through 12th the climate Prediction Center tells us what the general temperature consensus is and we’re looking at much above normal temperatures out west meanwhile in the middle of the country on the East Coast we could be a little bit cooler than normal I want to switch gears a little bit and talk about the severe weather threat because we also have that in play Sanderson Texas nine tornadoes took place over the weekend in North Dakota South Dakota and Texas you can see this one materializing on the video there and during the month of May that’s our Peak uh so we just came out of that 200 75 tornadoes on average I’ll leave it here as we head through this evening there is another threat of active severe weather looming specifically from Oklahoma City Dallas Monroe greenwind and lkin there we could see damaging winds large hail and the potential for tornadoes Stephanie so much to watch to start the week Samara thank you coming up her story is made Mexico elects Claudia Shin bomb a woman president for the

of Israeli hostages hostages will it move the needle toward a peace deal we’ll be right [Music] back this week the guilty verdict Fallout plus awaiting the Supreme Court’s big decisions on presidential immunity and abortion access more Americans turn to World News Tonight with David mure the most watched newscast on [Music] [Applause] [Music] television why do so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day’s top stories a lot of news today so let’s get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with for Edward R mural Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcasts start here first thing in the morning there’s a lot going on we’re still in a flash flood warning to catch you up with what happened overnight Poli in riot gear arresting dozens of protesters what’s happening today escalating tensions in the Middle East what people are talking about the migrant crisis fast straightforward with some fun in between check out the gator on the 17th pole the buzz kill in basball first thing in the morning America this morning America’s number one early morning news on ABC News live [Music] thanks for streaming with us Mexico has elected its first woman president in the country’s 200e history climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor is the projected winner of the presidential elections there Claudia Shin bom winning the election by a land slide with more than 60% of the vote Shin balb is part of the current president’s morina party and is also the first person elected from a Jewish background in a deeply Catholic country for more on this let’s bring in Matt River from Mexico City and Matt talk about the historic significance of Mexico electing its first female president yeah you know you alluded to it there I mean we’re talking about a very Catholic country a deeply Catholic country so the fact that she is Jewish uh is certainly a change from tradition in this country but also you’re talking about a society and therefore the politics of this country being deeply patriarchal 200 years of history in this Mexican Republic never once has a female head of state be elected and yet here we are with Claudia Shane Bal the former mayor of Mex Mexico City uh now will become the head of state when she takes office on October 1st it is a Monumental Day in Mexico history no matter your politics whether you like her whether you don’t like her it doesn’t matter in this particular regard uh she is making history no question about it she certainly is in Mexico has seen the most election related violence in its history during this political season why is that and how dangerous is it for regional candidates to run in their local elections yeah sure I mean it’s a huge deal in the sense that I mean just look at the numbers right according to Mexican consulting firm integralia who tracks this kind of thing more than 230 people were killed as a result of election related violence in just this past election cycle hundreds more were threatened assaulted attempted homicides more than three dozen candidates themselves were killed the reason behind it largely organized crime especially on the municipal level when you consider organized crime you have to consider where they operate and how they operate and they do so primarily at least at the local level by controlling those governments allows them to operate with impunity and so if you kill a candidate that stands in your way or if you kill a candidate you think by putting them out of the the way you could increase your business opportunity as crude as it is to talk in those terms when you’re talking about human life that’s the way organized crime operates in this country and unfortunately that problem has only gotten worse since the last election cycle in 2021 yeah it’s been awful to watch let’s talk a little bit about their platforms the the current president and in her platform we know that Claudia Shin Bome was backed by the current President of Mex who’s a leader who is the leader of the M political party are there differences in their platforms well that’s what we’re going to have to wait and see there’s no question that Claudia Shen bom is the Protege of the current president Andres Manuel Lopez orador uh she owes a lot of her political popularity to basically hitching her wagon to his horse I mean he’s an extremely popular politician if a very polarizing politician and yet they have really aligned on a lot of things but when she was mayor of Mexico City she did take certain policy positions that were at odds with his presidency so the big question that everybody has here now is well how will she be as president will she follow in his footsteps famously with such things as prickly relationships with the United States both during the Trump and now the Biden administrations or will she chart a different path that might see uh uh more friendly environmental policies more Progressive policies a friendlier relationship with the United States these are questions that are yet to be answered it’s certainly a question that a lot of people here in Mexico are asking uh one day after this election Matt Rivers for us in Mexico City thank thank you so much right now in Israel protesters are on the streets of Tel Aviv as they try to push the Israeli government to accept a permanent ceasefire deal that would free hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th that comes as President Biden has endorsed a proposal that would stop the fighting release the hostages and move all Israeli forces out of populated areas in Gaza I’m joined Now by ABC News forign correspondent Marcus Moore in Tel Aviv along with ABC News National Security and defense analyst Mick mroy Marcus I want to start start with you Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just addressed these negotiations what did he say well Stephanie this is the first time we’ve heard from prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu since President Biden came out with that that latest ceasefire deal or proposal on Friday and uh tonight the prime minister is saying that uh Israel must work to bring the hostages home and at the same time dismantle Hamas he went on to say in part that this is something uh that he’s not adding because he was U has faced pressure in the the Coalition that it’s something that they unanimously unanimously agreed on in the war cabinet that’s just a bit of what the Prime Minister said this evening and it comes uh amidst protests as you just mentioned that are are happening as we speak here in Tel Aviv many of them are relatives of those who are still being held hostage they have been imploring the Israeli government uh to reach a deal Stephanie they feel like this um is the moment for them to finally be reunited with their loved ones and they don’t want to miss the opportunity yeah this certainly could be that moment Mick I I want to turn to you uh let’s talk about some of this pressure on Netanyahu he has the protesters and also President Biden pulling him in One Direction but then members of his own government pulling him in another how much pressure is he under right now or none at all do you think he’s pretty clear-headed on what he’s going to do Stephanie I think he’s on a lot of pressure he’s got the far right of his government threatening to leave he’s got the middle uh in Benny gance uh threatening to leave on June 8th and of course he has the families of the hostages that really want to see understandably their family members released so and then he has the United States of course with the most significant security partner of Israel who really wants to see a ceasefire in this in this war so a lot of pressure uh that’s why he’s prime minister uh but right now this is the best agreement I think that is is is going to get and Hamas is going to get and if it doesn’t happen this is probably the last opportunity it will do a lot I think for Israel it will get the hostages released it will really move them out of this uh non-stop uh conflict uh in in the Rafa area and of course it will help uh Hamas stop from being completely obliterated uh right now and bring in a lot of humanitarian Aid into Gaza so there’s things on both sides that are good and and things on both sides that are not so good but that’s part of a compromise when it comes to something as significant as a ceasefire and a conflict and this is of course the third phase of the current ceasefire proposal deal with Gaza we will see if it plays out Marcus Mo and Mick

Biden well Stephanie is freedom right he does face if convicted of these child these charges potential prison time uh most people think that is unlikely given that he’s the first offender but these are very serious crimes and so he’s looking at that and you can feel the emotion in the courtroom because of that uh at the first break at when he turned around and his his mother first lady Jill Jill Biden who’s in the courtroom and he exchanged an Embrace they were both teary you know this is a a very real situation that he faces uh and that is now coming down hard on him given uh you know the testimony that he’s bound to hear that he is the charges that he’s hearing and seeing the people who will potentially hold his fate in their hands is a very tense and overwhelming situation for him you can tell that and uh I think that’s true of most criminal trials so what he faces to lose is his freedom uh and more of course he could he could be fined he’ll be on probation his right to bear arms will be severely restricted it’s a very serious charge that he faces some serious charges indeed now prosecutors say they have a plan to call about a dozen Witnesses for their case who can we expect to hear from well the prosecutors will call witnesses uh who can establish the the basic facts of the purchase and Hunter Biden filling out to form the gun dealer and those but they will also try to prove what Hunter Biden is now denying that at the time that he purchased the weapon in the fall of 2018 at that moment he sincerely believed he was not addicted to drugs that essentially is what the defense is shaping up to be and so to counter that they plan on calling three of Hunter Biden’s ex- romantic Partners including his ex-wife who knew him at that time knew him intimately at that time and can testify to what was a he was in the grip of a really flagrant fluid drug addiction as so many Americans are and that is an attempt to counter what they expect the defense to argue here which is that when he sign behind that that Federal Form he was telling the truth sincerely as he understood it to be and Terry Hunter Biden’s trial comes on the heels of former president Trump’s conviction on felony charges last week what impact if any could Hunter’s trial have on the presidential election in November well this trial Stephanie it’s really about this this personal disaster in his life after the death of his brother he became addicted to drugs and and was Reckless as as so many people who get addicted to drugs are and you know did this made this gun purchase that the federal authorities say is a crime how relevant that is I I Republicans will certainly try to make it relevant to the presidential campaign hard to say he does however face further charges tax evasion charges on federal tax law in California that trial slated in the fall in the fullness of the campaign uh season and at that point those charges do get to how he made his money uh and of course Republicans have been trying to impeach President Biden accusing him of participating in an illegal scheme with his son Hunter uh to make money overseas pedling the influence of first vice president and President Biden there is no evidence of that according to Democrats but you can expect Republicans when that trial comes up to make it a major campaign issue Stephanie much more to talk about as this trial moves forward Terry Moran for us in Wilmington thank thank [Music] you moving now to former president Donald Trump’s historic guilty verdict in his criminal hush money trial a new ABC News ipsis poll found that half of Americans agree with the verdict and 49% say they think he should end his presidential campaign ABC News political director Rick Klein is here to break it all down for us yes Stephanie our new poll with IPOs talks a little bit about uh the the Stark results and and the the real polarization in this country 50% of Americans think this was the right verdict only 27% think it’s incorrect another another chunk of Voters who don’t really have an opinion on it one way or the other and 49% of Americans overall that’s almost half the country think that Trump should drop out of the race entirely right now and if you hone in on what we’ve been calling the double haters people that view both Trump and Biden unfavorably you have an even more Stark portrait of the potential Fallout here 65% of those critical swing voters say that this was the right verdict and 67% 2third of these voters that don’t like either candidate say that Trump should end his campaign right away and there’s another poll out from over the weekend from Reuters in ipsos that talks more directly about uh the politics of this verdict people were asked are you more or less likely to vote for Trump as a result of this of this verdict or does it have no impact at all and just among Republicans about one in three 34% say they’re now more likely but 11% say they’re less likely again Republican voters so that may not seem like a huge number but in an election that’s going to be settled probably very closely along the margins in a number of states that actually could be a pretty significant uh impact on the race and among Independents it’s an even more Stark portrait because you’ve got one in four 26% of independent voters say they are now less likely to vote for Trump and it’s interesting Stephanie because if you look at these numbers you see a lot of people are convinced that it was a politically motivated uh prose ution but even more are convinced that the verdict was right both of those things can be true at the same time and that just points to the potentially dramatic Fallout from last week’s verdict Stephanie ABC’s political director Rick Klein for us thank you so much Deal or No Deal Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing ceasefire negotiations today as pressure grows to accept a permanent ceasefire agreement that would free hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th that as the IDF confirms four more host hostages are dead President Biden has endorsed a proposal that would stop the fighting release the hostages and move all Israeli forces out of populated areas in Gaza I’m joined Now by ABC News foreign correspondent Marcus Moore in Tel Aviv and Marcus we are just learning that Israeli forces are confirming the deaths of those four hostages what more do we know yeah uh the news coming out just this evening and we understand from the Israeli officials that these four hostages have been identified as Ayan Perry yuran Meer amaram Cooper and nadav papwell uh these among the more than 130 hostages who so many have been uh praying for um as they’ve been held captive in Gaza in terms of the circumstances of their deaths we don’t know at this point but we did hear from a spokesperson with the IDF who indicated that they believe that they died in Han Yunis perhaps as early as December as the Israeli Defense Force was was fighting there but again uh Stephanie tonight we don’t know the the exact circumstances of how they passed away but uh this this devastating news coming as uh demonstrators have taken to the streets here for for many days uh imploring the Israeli government to come to uh some type of agreement to bring their loved ones home and those efforts uh Stephanie continue as not only the fighting carries on in Gaza but also the work to bring about some type of ceasefire Marcus certainly not the news the families of those hostages wanted to hear so many more families holding out hope what is the latest on the ceasefire situation I know you said there they are still fighting there in Gaza but what is the latest on the on those negotiations yeah strikes are happening daily as you know Stephanie this this war seemingly far from over but um a lot of Hope is is resting at this point at least for the time being in this late latest uh deal proposal that President Joe Biden announced on on Friday the the back room discussions have have continued uh but I can tell you that right now there are no delegations that we’ve seen uh meeting in the past in places like Cairo or in katar uh those uh meetings are not happening but but the negotiations are still on and as you know prime minister Benjamin nyaho has been facing a lot of pressure not only um internationally but also here in Israel among those families uh who want their loved ones to be brought home imploring them uh uh to reach a deal but at the same time uh there are those who have said that that he cannot accept this deal that’s um on the table at this point and so uh right now uh we’re waiting to hear from the Israelis on on what the next steps might be and as well as Hamas waiting for an official response um uh from them on this proposal that they had early on um just within the past couple of days have said that they have a positive uh view but they have not accepted this deal Stephanie a lot of work left to be done and certainly um a details to be ironed out on a on a potential ceasefire yeah so many of us watching those negotiations and watching uh what happens what transpires um in the coming days let’s talk about the destruction in Gaza the Israeli defense minister spoke with Secretary of State Anthony blinkin today and touched on what Gaza could look like in a post Hamas world we know there has been much destruction there in Gaza what more do we know about that conversation and and where where uh Anthony blinkin stands on this yeah well as you know the the deal that’s being discussed is a multiphase deal and a part of it is the question of of Gaza the day after and that’s really been the the main sticking point as it relates to this proposal is the question of who will govern uh the Gaza Strip once the fighting stops and at this point we simply don’t know um Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that they want to eliminate Hamas fully uh but Hamas is showing no signs that they want to relinquish any uh control uh of of the region and as part of that discussion um we go back to the question of the humanitarian crisis that has been unfolding and who will be able to facilitate uh getting Aid to the hundreds of thousands of families who are are struggling and and all of those question questions remain to be answered uh Stephanie and it certainly does uh highlight uh the real uh question and the hard question to be answered of exactly what will happen the day after and we simply don’t have those answers at this point Marcus Moore For Us in Tel Aviv Marcus thank you so much uh back here State side two firefighters were injured after battling a massive Wildfire near San Francisco the Corral fire in san hen County burned 14,000 Acres of mostly dry grass land about 50 Mi east of the Bay Area and as California deals with those fires part of the state along with Arizona and Nevada are preparing for a dangerous Heat Wave starting tomorrow I’m joined Now by ABC News

imagining a future without Tik Tok the death of Tik Tok this is impact by Nightline now streaming on [Music] Hulu thanks so much for streaming with us for older transgender individuals today’s world is a stark contrast to the world they once lived in ABC News spoke with two members of the trans Community about the acceptance and representation of the lgbtq plus Community they have witnessed and been a part of over the decades as ABC News celebrates pride month I got beat up a lot and at first I just ran and then when I started to fight back accompanied by Broken Fingers you know what happens you don’t get bullied as much just because you get beaten and I’ve been beaten many times that doesn’t mean you’ve been defeated so many people even people in my family they would say Renee the way you walk down the street you’re putting yourself at risk right why do you you know present yourself like you do cuz you could be killed and my answer to them is if I present myself as somebody I’m not they’ve already killed me repent repent sure our community was smaller because the oppression was greater it doesn’t mean that the amount of people who would have fully blossomed had it not been for violence oppression ridicule so it’s refreshing now to see so many people now you know come out I mean you know you even have trans poit Ians for Christ’s [Music] sake see you later okay I often get mad at myself why did I live so miserable for all those years in Jamaica that culture is very religious you never saw any evidence of any other gender but male and female and when I migrated here my family in Brooklyn I was 10 years old and I didn’t really think about it I just knew that I was different I didn’t transition until I was in my 50s because even after college it just didn’t seem like it was feasible because you always hear about people who lived in in in the West in California and so forth perhaps transitioning but it wasn’t something that I really thought about pursuing yeah you know I just lived Miserable as a lesbian for many years happy Birthday Chris it’s a rebirth because I almost feel like I’ma teager most days because I’ve lived this long life where the mirror did not reflect what I was feeling I truly think that I was always trans it’s it’s just that physically when I looked in the mirror that reflection wasn’t coming back to me greetings people how are you I’m doing I’m doing getting older can sometimes be difficult as it is getting older as a trans person is even a little bit more so because of marginalization in society when we look at the word marginalized is just so painful especially as a transgender person and seeing it in our older adults they shouldn’t have to closet themselves when they go into a nursing home or into social setting Society should just Embrace us for who we are I’m not going to deny it there was a time when I had my nails painted I would wear gloves like if I was on the bus cuz I was obeying ignorant people and now well how about this I’ll take my gloves off deliberately and that’s Freedom that’s really Freedom cuz I don’t care who you are in this earth you make your freedom every day nobody gives it to you and here’s the other thing when we talk about young people I feel indebted to them because I think of many older trans people they weren’t as out as they are now and it’s because the youth liberated them I feel indebted I really do sometimes I’ll even tell someone who came out like a month ago and I’ll say thank you for freeing me people try to dehumanize us as a people as a group we always come back and say no we’re much more than that I think that’s what’s scaring a lot of people because they see that the youth are not just laying back and not saying anything trans right are human rights find the courage that that I found later that I wish I had found earlier now when I look in the mirror it comes back to me it gives me a new Awakening in terms of how I feel about my myself if you really feel it you’ll never be free until you do it as long as you hide you’re in jail like I said when you worry what other people think of you you will always be their prisoner maybe in some ways I live my everyday life in more danger but more free than ever how’s that a big thank you to everyone who helped on that story coming up next the greatest of all time just keeps on winning the latest

faces three felony gun charges we’ve got the latest outside the courtroom plus history down south Mexico electing its first ever female and first ever Jewish president we’re in Mexico City breaking it all down and so much for the fundamentals shares of GameStop surging more than 30% today based on a single social media post and pretty much nothing else should you be buying good afternoon I’m Stephanie Ramos our top story this hour jury selection is underway in the trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing three felony charges related to his efforts to obtain a firearm in 2018 prosecutors say he lied about being addicted to drugs Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty last September after being indicted by special counsel David Weiss it marks the first time the adult child of a sitting president has gone to trial in a statement President Biden says he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son for more on this let’s bring in legal contributor Brian buckmeier and of course our investigative reporter Olivia Rubin there Olivia I want to start with you what is the latest in this jury selection so far Stephanie on jury selection goes with the questioning of individual jurors they have been at it for over 4 hours this morning they have questioned almost 50 jurors who have come into the courtroom one by one in front of Hunter Biden and Jill Biden first lady who is seated in the first row and they’ve answered you know quite personal questions about their views on guns their views on uh you know uh mental addiction and drug addiction how that has affected their life meant to probe all of the issues at this case and if they have anything that might prevent them from being fair and impartial partial a number of jurors have been potential jurors have been struck immediately saying that they have certain things in their life that means that they would not be able to be fair and impartial and just most recently the most recent juror who was TR said that he had been reading about the case on Fox and Newsmax of course those are right leaning outlets and said that what he had heard about the case from those Outlets would mean that he could not be fair and impartial and he didn’t want to lie about that so on they go coming up with this pool of jurors and then they will work to whittle that down of course to the 12 ultimately who will decide this case and I just want to underscore so striking to see Joe Biden sitting in the front row watching every single perspective jur coming into that courtroom she is taking copious notes and she is just hearing sort of these raw unfiltered views of everyday Americans who her husband represents and their life struggles their life you know successes and every just very very striking Stephanie it certainly is Olivia you’re you’re going from one trial to another Brian I want to bring you in on this so in terms of jury selection what are you looking for so far and what do you think uh right now as as as we’re kind of really early into this still yeah so Stephanie what I’m looking into while I watch jury selection what are the themes and ideas that both the prosecution and the defense are raising here there are a lot of major issues I think that need to be addressed in in this in a case like this uh of course there’s no surprise it’s Hunter Biden so their politics play some bit of a of a piece into this how do you feel about him uh addiction is a major issue in this country and and we know it’s going to be issue when it comes to the falsification of these documents the lying and the possession of a firearm and then of course gun possession as well and so I think for the defense I want to see are they looking for an empathetic juror who’s going to understand that addiction has his es and flows that a person can go to rehab and and and truthfully believe that they’re no longer using no nor are they no longer addicted um I also looking to the government in terms of their prosecution and saying hey if you just follow the documents and you follow what he says are you going to convict and so I’m looking to see how they try to weave in their case into this jury selection it’ll be interesting to watch Olivia Hunter bided admits being addicted to drugs but he says he was not when he filled out the form for a gun so how are his lawyers planning to defend this case well it’s a great question Stephanie and they have kept their cards a bit close to the V on this but that is something that we’ve already seen arising in jury selection Hunter’s attorney Abby Lowel has been repeatedly asking jurors who uh you know are sharing their thoughts on guns and filling out the form if they would be okay with someone who was once addicted but no longer addicted to drugs having a gun so he seems to indicate that he is going to defend that Hunter Biden was no longer addicted when he filled out this form he also seems to be poised to raise a number of issues regarding the evidence in this case for example uh one of the pieces of alleged evidence here is that the pouch that Hunter Biden kept his gun on had cocaine residue on it and of course it was multiple years from the time that the pouch was recovered to when it was ultimately tested for substances and we do expect that uh LEL might raise questions about the chain of custody of that pouch what happened to it in those multiple years from when it was recovered to when it was ultimately tested with the cocaine so a number of avenues that they could try to thread there but again the question is how do you prove that Hunter was not addicted at the time in October of 2018 when he bought the gun prosecutors are going to bring in his statement from his Memoir when he talks about being addicted at that time so it could be possible that there’s maybe some evidence that Abby LEL has up his sleeve that we just don’t know about yet and we will definitely be watching Olivia thank you so much and Brian thanks to you as well turning now to the latest on Capitol Hill Dr Anthony fouchy is sitting before Congress for the first time since he left the government in 2022 as he faces intense scrutiny from House Republicans as they continue to scrutinize his response to the co 19 pandemic and its Origins kicking off the hearing fouchy forcefully denied claims that he tried to sway scientists away from concluding the virus came from a lab here’s a clip the accusation being circulated that I influence these scientists to change their minds by bribing them with millions of dollars in grant money is absolutely false and simply Preposterous I had no input into the content of the published pap ABC’s Jay O’Brien is on Capitol Hill following the latest Jay uh we heard there from Dr Anthony fouchy that’s a short clip but what are the highlights so far this morning well Stephanie there are really two themes that have hung over this hearing the first as you just noted are fouchy strong denials of the accusations that House Republicans have laid At His Feet not just muddying up this idea they claim of a quote unquote lab leak Theory they say fouchy tried to pour cold water on that Theory but also saying that he was involved in his subordinates attempts to try to get around Federal public records law by using personal emails or by printing out correspondence fouchi said that he had no knowledge of any of that House Republicans do have evidence that Fouch subordinates engaged in that that was one theme of this hearing the other theme of this hearing is Republicans clear desire to exert a pound of flesh out of fouchy they have criticized his handling of the pandemic they have criticized his his views or what they believe to be his views on for instance the lab leak Theory and then of course in some instances there are Republicans in this committee that have just tried to degrade fouchy Marjorie Taylor green is a chief example there was this exchange not long ago in the proceedings in which margorie Taylor green said she refused to call Dr fouchy doctor because she believes he didn’t deserve the title Jamie Rasin a top Democrat on this committee hit back and he said I’ll quote him are we allowed to deny that a doctor is a doctor just because we don’t want him to be a doctor Marjorie Taylor green hits back and says yes because in my time meaning the time in which she was asking her questions that man does not deserve to have a license so that’s just a snapshot into what these proceedings have looked like this morning Stephanie and Jay we also know that during that time Dr fouchy received a number of threats he was asked to describe those threats that he received uh when he took on the role of Chief pandemic adviser let’s take a listen it is very Troublesome to me um it is much more Troublesome because they’ve involved my wife and my three daughters and Jay what more can you tell us about those comments and and what else Dr fouchi said about those threats well it’s interesting because that reference of those threats and what he’s gone through as he illuminated that for the committee it also connects with a theme that Democrats tried to establish over the course of these proceedings which was in effect apologizing to Dr fouchy that he had to be there in the first place Jamie Rasin again a top Democrat on this panel because this is a subcommittee of the oversight Committee in which Jamie Rasin is the top Democrat apologized to Dr fouchy that he even had to be there in the first place he said this was political he said Republicans to paraphrase Rasin were treating fouchy like a criminal is the word that he used and he tried to draw kind of analogy to the Trump trial but all of that to say is Democrats made a point to try to defend Dr fouchy here and and condemn in some instances the allegations of fouchy subordinates who try to circumvent public records law but also try to insulate fouchy and thank him for his Decades of Public Service particularly during the pandemic Stephanie Jay thank you so much J O’Brien for us on Capitol Hill thanks let’s move on to the West Coast two firefighters have been injured after battling a massive Wildfire near San Francisco the Corral fire in san hin county has burned 14,000 Acres of mostly dry grassland about 50 mil east of the Bay Area more than a 100 homes were evacuated over the weekend all of this happening as parts of California Arizona and Nevada prepare for a dangerous Heat wve starting tomorrow I’m join now by ABC News meteorologist Samara Theodore with the forecast and Samara what can you tell us about what’s going on at West well I’ll tell you Steph you know it doesn’t look like they have a reprieve in sight the next couple of days going to be extremely hot so tomorrow near Tracy or in Tracy near the fire we’re anticipating temperatures to reach around 100° not only that tomorrow the relative humidity drops by to around 20% so that means that it’s really dry out there and winds will continue to gust upwards of 30 miles hour both today and tomorrow as a result of those temperatures really jumping into the triple digits we have had heat alerts issued and excessive heat warning through throughout Central California heat advisory closer to the coastline and then as we head to the middle of the week the successive Heat for Phoenix Welton and Tucson Las Vegas could be looking at record-breaking temperatures on Thursday the earlier they’ve seen a temperature jump above 110 degrees we’re predicting about 112 degrees in Las Vegas on Thursday even hot and Boise in the low 90s and not much of a break inight this is June 8th through 12th the climate Prediction Center tells us what the general temperature consensus is and we’re looking at much above normal temperatures out west meanwhile in the middle of the country on the East Coast we could be a little bit cooler than normal I want to switch gears a little bit and talk about the severe weather threat because we also have that in play Sanderson Texas nine tornadoes took place over the weekend in North Dakota South Dakota and Texas you can see this one materializing on the video there and during the month of May that’s our Peak uh so we just came out of that 275 tornadoes on average I’ll leave it here as we head through this evening there is another threat of active severe weather looming specifically from Oklahoma City Dallas Monroe greenwind and Lin there we could see damaging winds large Hil and the potential for tornadoes Stephanie so much to watch to start the week Samara thank you coming up her story is made Mexico elects Claudia Shin bomb a woman president for the first time ever how will it affect the relationship with the US and the latest on the violence that marked the elections also prime minister Netanyahu facing growing calls to secure the release of Israeli hostages hostages will it move the needle Ward a peace deal we’ll be right [Music] back if you were coming of age in the 1980s the brat pack was near the center of your cultural awareness but for those of us experiencing it from the inside the brat pack was something very different if you could have the brat pack name not exist would you I hated the brat pack what a disaster why did we take it as an offense I’m not going to say we were Beatles or anything we didn’t F Shay Stadium 1985 I think we could have why do so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day’s top stories a lot of news today so let’s get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R murl Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcasts start [Music] here thanks for streaming with us Mexico has elected its first woman president in the country’s 200y year history climate scientists and former Mexico City mayor is the projected winner of the presidential election there Claudia Shin bom winning the election by a landslide with more than 60% of the vote Shin Bal is part of the current president’s Morena party and is also the first person elected from a Jewish background in a deeply Catholic country for more on this let’s bring in Matt rivers from Mexico City and Matt talk about the historic significance of Mexico electing its first female president yeah you know you alluded to it there I mean we’re talking about a very Catholic country a deep Catholic country so the fact that she is Jewish is certainly a change from tradition in this country but also you’re talking about a society and therefore the politics of this country being deeply patriarchal 200 years of history in this Mexican Republic never once has a female head of state be elected and yet here we are with Claudia shanbom the former mayor of Mexico City uh now will become the head of state when she takes office on October 1st it is a Monumental day in Mexican history no matter your politics whether you like her whether you don’t like her it doesn’t matter in this particular regard uh she is making history no no question about it she certainly is and Mexico has seen the most election related violence in its history during this political season why is that and how dangerous is it for regional candidates to run in their local elections yeah sure I mean it’s a huge deal in the sense that I mean just look at the numbers right according to Mexican consulting firm integralia who tracks this kind of thing more than 230 people were killed as a result of election related violence in just this past election cycle hundreds more were threatened assaulted attempted homicides more than three dozen candidates themselves were killed the reason behind it largely organized crime especially on the municipal level when you consider organized crime you have to consider where they operate and how they operate and they do so primarily at least at the local level by controlling those governments it allows them to operate with impunity and so if you kill a candidate that stands in your way or if you kill a candidate you think by putting them out of the the way you could increase your business opportunity as crude as it is to talk in those terms when you’re talking about human life that’s the way organized crime operates in this country and unfortunately that problem has only gotten worse since the last election cycle in 2021 yeah it’s been awful to watch let’s talk a little bit about their platforms the the current president and and her platform we know that Claudia Shin Bome was backed by the current president of Mexico who’s a leader who is the leader of the Moda political party are there differences in their platforms well that’s what we’re going to have to wait and see there’s no question that Claudia Shen bom is the Protegé of of the current president Andres Manuel Lopez orador uh she owes a lot of her political popularity to basically hitching her wagon to his horse I mean he’s an extremely popular politician if a very polarizing politician and yet they have really aligned on a lot of things but when she was mayor of Mexico City she did take certain policy positions that were at odds with his presidency so the big question that everybody has here now is well how will she be as president will she follow in his footsteps famously with such things as prickly relationships with the United States both during the Trump and now the Biden administrations or will she chart a different path that might see uh uh more friendly environmental policies more Progressive policies a friendlier relationship with the United States these are questions that are yet to be answered it’s certainly a question that a lot of people here in Mexico are asking uh one day after this election Matt Rivers for us in Mexico City thank you so much right now in Israel protesters are on the streets of Tel Aviv as they try to push the Israeli government to accept a permanent ceasefire deal that would free hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th that comes as President Biden has endorsed a proposal that would stop the fighting release the hostages and move all Israeli forces out of populated areas in Gaza I’m joined Now by ABC News foreign correspondent Marcus Moore in Tel Aviv along with ABC News National Security and defense analyst Mick mroy Marcus I want to start with you Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just addressed these negotiations what did he say well Stephanie this is the first time we’ve heard from prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu since President Biden came out with that that latest ceasefire deal or proposal on Friday and uh tonight the Prime Minister saying that uh Israel must work to bring the hostages home and at the same time dismantle Hamas he went on to say in part that this is something uh that he’s not adding because he was U uh has faced pressure in the the Coalition that it’s something that the unanimously unanimously agreed on in the war cabinet that’s just a bit of what the Prime Minister said this evening and comes uh amidst protests as you just mentioned that are are happening as we speak here in Tel Aviv many of them are relatives of those who are still being held hostage they have been imploring the Israeli government uh to reach a deal Stephanie they feel like this um is the moment for them to finally be reunited with their loved ones and they don’t want to miss the opportunity yeah this certainly could be that moment Mick I I want to turn to you uh let’s talk about some of this pressure on Netanyahu he has the protesters and also President Biden pulling him in One Direction but then members of his own government pulling him in another how much pressure is he under right now or none at all do you think he’s pretty clear-headed on what he’s going to do Stephanie I think he’s on a lot of pressure he’s got the far right of his government threatening to leave he’s got the middle uh in Benny Gant uh threatening to leave on June 8th and of course he has the families of the hostages that really want to see understandably their family members released so and then he has the United States of course with the most significant security partner of Israel who really wants to see a ceas fire in this in this war so a lot of pressure uh that’s why he’s prime minister uh but right now this is the best agreement I think that Israel is going to get and Hamas is going to get and if it doesn’t happen this is probably the last opportunity it will do a lot I think for Israel it will get the hostages released it will really move them out of this uh non-stop uh conflict uh in in the Rafa area and of course it will help uh Hamas stop from being completely obliterated uh right now and bring in a lot of humanitarian Aid into Gaza so there’s things on both sides that are good and and things on both sides that are not so good but that’s part of a compromise when it comes to something as significant as a ceasefire and a conflict and this is of course the third phase of the current ceasefire proposal deal with Gaza we will see if it plays out Marcus Mo and Mick mroy thank you both coming up the

some news for Spotify users the music streaming app is hiking prices next month it’s second major price increase in the last 2 years starting next month and the cost of an AdFree plan will cost a dollar more at $111.99 the family plan will cost $3 more now $19.99 let’s talk video games shares of the video game retailer GameStop are booming once again because of a meme and not much else it’s started after meme stock Trader Keith gills known online as roaring Kitty posted a chart on Reddit showing a $116 million bet on GameStop now this is reminiscent of 2021 when screenshots of his previous GameStop trades triggered a rush in demand for GameStop and other meme stocks companies with weak fundamentals that gained a cult-like following through social media all right here to break it down for us is ABC’s business reporter Alexis christofer with all of the info Alexis what is going on with all of this we’ve seen this story before right Stephanie I mean this is really a repeat of what happened in 2021 when roaring Kitty as you described took to social media on Reddit and Wall Street bets and these online forums to create hype and Buzz around these so-called what what has become meme stocks these are essentially companies that have very weak fundamentals have no business rallying the way they are but the idea behind this was that um these folks were going to stick it to the professional so to speak and so all those institutional investors who were betting against these companies like GameStop like AMC and blackberry they would get hurt because the stock was rallying so much and it just sort of started to feed on itself and that’s what we’re seeing again now I would imagine that this will help GameStop what do you think you know it’s um it depends I can tell you that since this started this new meme craze started just a few weeks ago uh GameStop ran to capitalize on it sold a bunch of its own stock and made near a billion dollar now having said that and I know the stock is up about 30% today but this doesn’t change the fact that the company has declining sales hardware sales are are are in really tough right now for this company overall and so they they continue to not do well so the fact that the stock is doing well doesn’t really change the fundamentals for the company I see let’s talk about roaring Kitty just a little bit about that got that handle didn’t think I’d be saying that today we’re kidding so he hadn’t posted in about three years do should we expect to see more of these meme stock crazes because the craze around this guy’s post it could be another summer of meme stock some of the analysts think so if this is any indication Charles Schwab and and Robin Hood which um do have lots of retail investor accounts did say they saw an uptick in folks opening up new accounts part of that could be because the stock market’s been doing so well there’s been a record there’s been lots of Records broken so people want to capitalize on that but uh we could see more regular retail investors get in on this game and I do want to stress it’s a game this this is as close to gambling as you can get this is not proper investing and I think you know we all know there are lots of risks when you start playing with things like this that’s really important to keep in mind Alexis thank you so much all right that’ll do it

reporting from Buckingham Palace in London I’m James Longman wherever the story is we’ll take you there you’re streaming ABC News live right now on AB BC News live Hunter Biden in court jury selection begins today in the trial of President Biden’s son who faces three felony gun charges we’ve got the latest outside the courtroom plus a massive Wildfire is burning in California just 50 miles from the San Francisco area the latest on efforts to contain the blaze coming up and history has been made in Mexico the country electing its first ever woman and first ever Jewish president we are in Mexico City breaking it all down hi everyone I’m Stephanie Ramos our top story this hour jury selection is underway in the trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing three felony charges related to his efforts to obtain a firearm in 2018 Republicans and the special council’s office say he lied about being addicted to drugs when originally trying to get that gun Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to those charges in a statement President Biden says he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son for more on this let’s bring in investigative reporter Olivia Rubin who is outside the court in Wilmington Delaware along with legal contributor Brian buckmire Olivia I want to start with you the judge is trying to pick a jury for Hunter’s trial essentially in Biden’s backyard how difficult has that been so far well there have been a number of potential jurors Stephanie who have sort of told the judge that they have some sort of connection to the bidens or have heard about the case they have remarked a number of times saying you know Delaware is a small town it’s very hard to go anywhere without hearing something there was one potential Jer who actually said I know the bidens very well he spoke about being in a squash tournament with Joe Biden’s late son Bo he spoke about a number of Biden’s grandchildren going to school with his kids he said he was their little league coach at one point so a lot of really interesting small you know Dynamics and just the power of Joe Biden looming large in the lobby even of this you know Courthouse when Joe when Hunter Biden enters in and out every day there is a large picture of Joe Biden on the courthouse wall smiling that he walks by coming into court he sees his father’s photo on the wall so constant reminders of the Biden family uh looming large at this trial but still they have quizzed over 50 jurors this morning in a lengthy sort of morning into afternoon session judge Nora clearly sort of trying to get this done today trying to question as many jurors and then strike them out so they end up with that final panel of 12 expressing some optimism that maybe they could get this panel seated or excuse me this jury seated today so don’t take me to the bank on that but it does appear as if the parties are trying to get through this as quickly as possible so they can potentially seat that jury today so interesting to hear about those connections that so many folks there in Wilmington have to the Biden family uh may take a while to find that jury Brian the judge in this case ruled that an annotated copy of the Federal Form Biden is accused of lying on would be excluded from evidence why is that yeah so the judge is saying that it’s not evidence that can be included uh the argument being that the prosecutions are using only the original document that Hunter Biden uh signed The annotation coming up later that the uh the company or the this dealer says they needed to just correct other documents or other information on it so they’re saying that the argument is it’s about what Hunter Biden wrote down specifically in those boxes about whether or not he uses or is addicted to narcotics not about what’s annotated on the document interesting and Olivia going back to the witnesses or well to who will be in the courtroom in addition to the jury prosecutors are expected to call 12 witnesses to the stand one of them being uh Biden’s former partner what more do we know about the upcoming testimony that we could hear in this trial well it’s expected that you know the government’s case could take as much as 3 days they do expect to call hi Biden that is the former uh wife of Bo Biden who is now deceased who Hunter Biden briefly had a relationship with and she is the one that found the gun that Hunter Biden is accused of having and lying on the form to buy so she is key to the government’s case out inside of that there will be a number of witnesses potentially law enforcement Witnesses a DEA agent they are also expecting to bring in the owner of the gun store where Hunter Biden bought the gun and potentially another uh employee who worked at that story as well so they’re going to try to thread the needle of the gun purchase from when it was bought to when it dis was discarded and of course the potentially that DEA agent could have been the one who tested that pouch that the gun was in that authorities say had cocain can residue on it of course that is a detail that Hunter Biden’s team pushes back on they have you know raised the question of the chain of custody with that pouch potentially trying to sew this seed that uh it was tampered with so there could there will be a number of Witnesses on the government side that I just laid out but the real question is also what is the defenses case going to be who will they call Will Hunter Biden take the stand all questions that will be looming here as this case gets underway at some point this week so many questions still and and Brian we know these are really serious charges Hunter Biden is facing three felony charges could he face jail time if convicted so it’s yes and no the reason why I say that is if you look at the charges he does face a maximum of 25 years in prison however this is a federal case and federal guidelines will be used and ultimately he’ll get probably something far less than that uh he’s not a convicted felon in terms of a violent offense uh they’ll look at his his his work in the community as well and the fact that uh he doesn’t have any other federal charges against him of course we know he has the tax fraud cases out in California and so there’s a possibility of jail time uh but I don’t think he’s going to get a lot if any in a case like this the ultimate Point uh this was an unloaded gun and most of the charges are about falsification of a document all right we will see what happens Brian buckmeyer thank you so much Olivia rubben in Wilmington Delaware for us thank you as well lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill today after a one week recess and they’ve returned to the political Fallout from Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts last week now conservatives in the Senate are vowing to bring the higher chamber to a halt in protest of that verdict contributing political correspondent and co-author of politico’s Playbook Rachel bade joins me now Rachel Republican senator Mike Lee he is threatening to muck up the chambers’s business in protest of these convictions how serious of a threat is this to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hey there Stephanie at first it might just seem like this sort of idle threat right I mean a lot of these conservatives are not exactly the governing caucus they are often against a lot of things that come on the floor so that’s not really a surprise there uh uh but if you actually look at the calendar this could be a big problem for Chuck Schumer in terms of nominations specifically the Senate its job is obviously to uh confirm a lot of these people nominated by the president they process hundreds of nominations every month uh and half of the big political nominations are actually done what’s called uh via voice vote that basically means all 100 senators are okay approving of these nominations and therefore they move very quickly uh through the Senate but with these conservatives saying that they are not going to allow uh Democrats to do that anymore that’s going to require Chuck Schumer to actually go through all these hoops spend hours and hours on each judicial uh nomination each Ambassador nomination and that is really going to suck up floor time away from other big political messaging bills things like the contraception legislation that is going to be on the senate floor this week where Democrats again they want to put up a vote that hurts Republicans on the campaign Trail they’re not going to be able to spend a lot of time doing that because they’re going to have to again spend all the time on these nominations Stephanie and and Rachel let’s talk about lawmakers that are on the campaign Trail how has the guilty verdict impacted lawmakers on the trail we saw just last week House Republicans were raising money for themselves after Trump was found guilty so are they scrambling right now yeah it’s really fascinating Stephanie because both sides are super bullish that this is gonna actually hurt or hurt the other side or actually help them we’re hearing from Republicans who think that Democrats are going to be uh taking a hit politically uh for you know the the verdict that they’re going to be hurt on the campaign Trail we’re seeing today out in Montana Senate candidate Tim sheii who is running against Democrat incumbent uh John tester uh he is actually up with a new ad attack in tester basically saying that he wants to throw Donald Trump in jail and so Republicans are trying to use this in red leaning States like Montana like Ohio uh where they’re trying to flip these uh these seats so that they can actually take back the majority but if you go over in the house Democrats who are in the minority right now and actually want to flip the house they are more bullish over there they’re blasting out a ton of press releases saying that Republicans and these moderate swingy districts that Biden actually won uh in 2020 they’re sticking with a quote conic felon here so they’re going to try to use that against those Republicans we’ll see who actually comes out ahead at the end of the day Stephanie we shall see and Rachel congresswoman marjerie Taylor green is uh back making some headlines and she’s bringing back her demands to defund special counsel Jack Smith what what more can you tell us about this yeah so this is clearly a pet project Stephanie for Marjorie Taylor green she has been like a broken record calling for this for a long time she basically uh is pushing Republican leadership to try to defund Jack Smith to basically keep these investigations and now these cases and trials from going forward uh although clearly those are obviously uh moving forward right now not a lot she can do on that but now she’s sort of uh picking back up on this and and putting a new Twist on it she’s pushing to defund New York is what she’s uh she’s going to be pushing for I’m told from my sources basically keep any federal funds things like uh things for housing things for Education things for healthcare from going to the state of New York now this is not going to play well with Republican leadership and frankly a lot of Republicans uh in these Frontline districts that are trying to hold on these vulnerable Republicans and a lot of appropriators people who actually write these spending bills they’re saying already that this is just not something we do we don’t single out and defund States because we don’t like uh what they’re doing on the ground but nonetheless this is going to really complicate speaker Mike Johnson trying to push through a lot of spending bills this summer this is something he wants to do he has a very slim margin to begin with and then you have allies like Mar R Taylor green and a lot of Maga uh type of type of members uh in the house making these demands that frankly uh he can’t give them so it’s going to be messy right some bold demands that may go nowhere thank you very much Rachel bade for us appreciate your time the IDF says four more Israeli hostages taken by Hamas in the October 7th attack are now dead the hostage families Forum releasing these images of the victims just moments ago that as pressure grows on Israeli Prime Minister Ben bamin Netanyahu over the latest ceasefire proposal five Middle East countries just put out a statement in support of the latest

number one early morning news on ABC News live why do so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the now and get a different take on the day’s top stories a lot of news today so let’s get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R murl Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a news podcast podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcasts start [Music] here thanks so much for streaming with us Mexico has elected its first woman president in the country’s 200e history a climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor is the projected winner of the presidential elections there Claudia Shin bomb winning the election by a landslide with roughly 60% of the vote Shin bomb is a part of the current president Lopez oor’s morina party which is a major leftwing political party that has been the ruling party in Mexico since 2018 for more on this let’s bring in Matt rivers from Mexico City and Matt how did Mexico which is a patriarchal society get to the point where two women presidential candidates were on a presidential ballot yeah I think it’s a great question and I think we start with the fact that these are two very impressive candidates with very impressive backgrounds you talk about Claudia Shin Bal she has been the mayor of Mexico City she has an environmental engineering background she’s part of a Nobel prize winning uh Team for a report on climate change almost two decades ago so she’s impressive on that end on the other side you had uh soil galves Ruiz who comes from very humble backgrounds a self-made person she made her way here to Mexico City got a degree became a tech entrepreneur a senator and eventually a presidential candidate so I think you start there with the fact that these are two very accomplished people but I think broadly speaking the fact that you got so many people in Mexico willing to vote for a person like Claudia Shen bom says a lot about Mexican Society overall that they are willing to accept a woman as a leader of this country that they are willing to put more women about time in office it says a lot about how Mexican Society is changing for the better I think that the two leading candidates in this election were both women and I I’m right there with you Matt I mean two really accomplished women and it’s very impressive to see and it it does show that the society there in Mexico is is different compared to other countries and is uh moving forward now Claudia Shin balb responded to a congratulatory message from President Biden saying that she’s convinced that they will work together for the benefit of our peoples and our Nations what do you make of this and what do you think the future relationship between the US and Mexico will look like I know it’s still pretty early but what what do you think what what can we look forward to between the two countries yeah I think right now Stephanie these messages back and forth are pretty standard I think it’s pleasantries at the moment I think both of these countries realize that they have to work together remember that the number one trading partnership in the world in terms of a bilateral level is the United States of Mexico we’re talking about hundreds of billions of dollars at stake every single year not to mention the cultural and societal similarities between both sides but I think Beyond on that there’s a lot of sticking points in this relationship and because the United States foreign policy is driven by the executive there President Biden at the moment and here it’s a republic the same thing driven by the president that relationship is key between how the US and Mexico get along on issues like trade on issues like migration on issues like drug trafficking so how this is going to play out over Shane bomb’s term I think it remains to be seen But if she’s anything like her predecessor who has had a particularly prickly relationship with the US throughout his six years it could have some sticking points in the future given that she is his prote sh it certainly could now not only is she the first woman president there in Mexico but she also is a person with Jewish roots how is shy bomb navigating her religious differences with this Catholic majority country yeah there’s tens of thousands of Jewish people here in a country of 120 something million so it is a very small minority uh and this is a deeply Catholic country I think the way she’s dealt with it is not really by talking about it that much frankly it’s not to say that Mexican people wouldn’t vote for a Jewish president but it’s not something that Shain bomb throughout her campaign really leaned into she talked about her upbringing uh as an activist as a student activist as the daughter of activists uh within her her parents they were activists themselves she didn’t really lean into her Jewish Heritage all that much I think that’s kind of how she navigated it by not talking about it all that much frankly the same way that she dealt with being a woman she didn’t really talk all that much about feminist issues about being a woman making that the center of her campaign her campaign was very much about continuing the policies of this current Administration and by leaning to her background as a kind of pragmatic leader here in Mexico City a focus on the policies as it should be Matt Rivers thank you so much coming up a very wet weekend for Atlanta two water

thought was possible uh because I would always find faults with it and I still do find faults with it but in my head it’s the body that is getting me through cancer so um even though the armor is a

listen wherever you get your [Music] [Applause] podcast right now on ABC News live Hunter Biden in court jury selection begins today in the trial of President Biden’s son who faces three felony gun charges we’ve got the latest from outside the courtroom plus Deal or No Deal the US says the onus is on Hamas to accept a permanent ceasefire deal outlined by President Biden while pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu grows we’re live in Tel Aviv and a massive Wildfire is burning in California just 50 miles from the San Francisco area the latest on efforts to contain the blaze coming up hello everyone I’m Stephanie Ramos our top story this hour jury selection is underway in the trial of Hunter Biden the president’s son is facing three felony charges related to his efforts to obtain a firearm in 2018 Republicans and the special council’s office say he lied about being addicted to drugs when originally trying to get that gun Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges in a statement President Biden says he won’t comment on the case but that he has boundless love for his son senior National correspondent and ABC News live anchor Terry Moran is outside that courthouse in Wilmington Delaware with more this is the first time the child an adult child of a sitting president will go on trial what’s at stake here for Hunter Biden well Stephan he has Freedom right he does face if convicted of these child these charges potential prison time uh most people think that is unlikely given that he’s a first offender but these are very serious crimes and so he’s looking at that and you can feel the emotion in the courtroom because of that uh at the first break at when he turned around and his his mother first lady Jill Jill Biden who in the courtroom and he exchanged an Embrace they were both teary you know this is a a very real situation that he faces uh and that is now coming down hard on him given uh you know the testimony that he’s bound to hear that he is the charges that he’s hearing and seeing the people who will potentially hold his fate in their hands is a very tense and overwhelming situation for him you can tell that and uh I think that’s true of most criminal trials so what he faces to lose is his freedom uh and more of course he could he could be fined he’ll be on probation his right to bear arms will be severely restricted it’s a very serious charge that he faces some serious charges indeed now Terry prosecutors say they have a plan to call about a dozen Witnesses for their case who can we expect to hear from well the prosecutors would call witnesses uh who can establish the the basic facts of the purchase and Hunter Biden filling out to form the gun dealer and those but they will also try to prove what Hunter Biden is now denying that at the time that he purchased the weapon in the fall of 2018 at that moment he sincerely believed he was not addicted to drugs that essentially is what the defense is shaping up to be and so to counter that they plan on calling three of Hunter Biden’s ex romantic Partners including his ex-wife who knew him at that time knew him intimately at that time and can testify to what was a he was in the grip of a really flagrant fluid drug addiction as so many Americans are and that is an attempt to counter what they expect the defense to argue here which is that when he signed that that Federal Form he was telling the truth sincerely as he understood it to be and Terry Hunter Biden’s trial comes on the heels of former president Trump’s conviction on felony charges last week what impact if any could Hunter’s trial have on the presidential election in November well this TR Stephanie it’s really about this this personal disaster in his life after the death of his brother he became addicted to drugs and and was Reckless as as so many people who get addicted to drugs are and you know did this made this gun purchase that the federal authorities say is a crime how relevant that is Republicans will certainly try to make it relevant to the presidential campaign hard to say he does however face further charges tax evasion charges on federal tax law in California that trial slated in the fall in the fullness of the campaign uh season and at that point those charges do get to how he made his money uh and of course Republicans have been trying to impeach President Biden accusing him of participating in an illegal scheme with his son Hunter uh to make money overseas pedling the influence of first vice president and President Biden there is no evidence of that according to Democrats but you can expect Republicans when that trial comes up to make it a major campaign issue Stephanie much more to talk about as this trial moves forward Terry Moran for us in wimington thank you moving now to former president Donald Trump’s historic guilty verdict in his criminal hush money trial a new ABC News ipsis poll found that half of Americans agree with the verdict and 49% say they think he should end his presidential campaign ABC News political director Rick Klein is here to break it all down for us yes Stephanie our new poll with IPOs talks a little bit about uh the the Stark results and and the the real polarization in this country 50% of Americans think this was the right verdict only 27% think it’s incorrect another another chunk of Voters who don’t really have an opinion on it one way or the other and 49% of Americans overall that’s almost half the country think that Trump should drop out of the race entirely right now and if you hone in on what we’ve been calling the double haters people that view both Trump and Biden unfavorably you have an even more Stark portrait of the potential Fallout here 65% of those critical swing voters say that this was the right verdict and 67% 2third of these voters that don’t like either candidate say that Trump should end his campaign right away and there’s another poll out from over the weekend from Reuters in ipsos that talks more directly about uh the politics of this verdict people were asked are you more or less likely to vote for Trump as a result of this of this verdict or does it have no impact at all and just among Republicans about one in three 34% say they’re now more likely but 11% say they’re less likely again Republican voters so that may not seem like a huge number but in an election that’s going to be settled probably very closely along the margins in a number of states that actually could be a pretty significant uh impact on the race and among Independents it’s an even more Stark portrait because you’ve got one in four 26% of independent voters say they are now less likely to vote for Trump and it’s interesting Stephanie because if you look at these numbers you see a lot of people are convinced that it was a politically motivated uh prosecution but even more are convinced that the verdict was right both of those things can be true at the same time and that just points to the potentially dramatic Fallout from last week’s verdict Stephanie ABC political director Rick Klein for us thank you so much Deal or No Deal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing ceasefire negotiations today as pressure grows to accept a permanent ceasefire agreement that would free hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th that as the IDF confirms four more hostages are dead President Biden has endorsed a proposal that would stop the fighting release the hostages and move all Israeli forces out of populated areas in Gaza I’m joined Now by ABC News foreign correspondent Marcus Moore in Tel Aviv and Marcus we are just learning that Israeli forces are confirming the deaths of those four hostages what more do we know yeah uh the news coming out just this evening and we understand from the Israeli officials that these four hostages have been identified asyan Perry yuran Meer amaram Cooper and nadav papwell uh these among the more than 130 hostages who so many have been uh praying for um as they’ve been held captive in Gaza in terms of the circumstances of their deaths we don’t know at this point but we did hear from a spokesperson with the IDF who indicated that they believe that they died in Han Yunis perhaps as early as December as the Israeli Defense Force was was fighting there but again uh Stephanie tonight we don’t know the the exact circumstances of how they passed away but uh this this devastating news coming as uh demonstrators have taken to the streets here for for many days uh imploring the Israeli government to come to some type of agreement to bring their loved ones home and those efforts uh Stephanie continue as not only the fighting carries on in Gaza but also the work to bring about uh some type of ceasefire Markus certainly not the news the families of those hostages wanted to hear so many more families holding out hope what is the latest on the SE fire situation I know you said there they are still fighting there in Gaza but what is the latest on the on those negotiations yeah strikes are happening daily as you know Stephanie this this war seemingly far from over but um a lot of Hope is is resting at this point at least for the time being in this latest uh deal proposal that President Joe Biden announced on on Friday the the back room discussions have have continued uh but I can tell you that right now there are no delegations that we’ve seen uh meeting in the past in places like Cairo or in Qatar uh those uh meetings are not happening but but the negotiations are still on and as you know prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been facing a lot of pressure not only um internationally but also here in Israel among those families uh who want their loved ones to be brought home imploring them uh uh to reach a deal but at the same time uh there are those who have said that that he cannot accept this deal that’s um on the table at this point and so uh right now uh we’re waiting to hear from the Israelis on on what the next steps might be and as well as Hamas waiting for an official response um uh from them on this proposal that they had early on um just within the past couple of days have said that they have a positive uh view but they have not accepted this deal Stephanie a lot of work left to be done and certainly um uh details to be ironed out on a on a potential ceasefire yeah so many of us watching those negotiations and watching uh what happens what transpires um in the coming days let’s talk about the destruction in Gaza the Israeli defense minister spoke with Secretary of State Anthony blinkin today and touched on what Gaza could look like in a post Hamas world we know there has been much destruction there in Gaza what more do we know about that conversation and and where where uh Anthony blinkin stands on this yeah well as you know the the deal that’s being discussed is a multiphase deal and a part of it is the question of of Gaza the day after and that’s really been the the main sticking point as it relates to this proposal is the question of who will govern uh the Gaza Strip once the fighting stops and at this point we we simply don’t know um Israel uh prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that they want to eliminate Hamas fully uh but Hamas is showing no signs that they uh want to relinquish any uh control uh of of the region and as part of that discussion um we go back to the question of the humanitarian crisis that has been unfolding and who will be able to facilitate uh getting Aid to the hundreds of thousands of families who are are struggling and and all of those questions remain to be answered uh Stephanie and it certainly does uh highlight uh the real uh question and and the hard question to be answered of exactly what will happen the day after and we simply don’t have those answers at this point Marcus Moore For Us in Tel Aviv Marcus thank you so much uh back here State side two firefighters were injured after battling a massive Wildfire near San Francisco the Corral fire in san hen County burned 14,000 Acres of mostly dry grass land about 50 miles east of the Bay Area and as California deals with those fires part of the state along with Arizona and Nevada are preparing for a dangerous Heat Heat Wave starting tomorrow I’m joined Now by ABC News meteorologist Samara Theodor with the forecast Samara what is the latest out there well things are truly heating up Steph right now we are anticipating temperatures really close to where that fire is burning in Tracy California to reach 100 degrees not only that relative humidity tomorrow is dropping to about 20% so we’re starting to dry out even more and wind gust anticipated to reach upwards of 30 mph both today and tomorrow here’s a look at the numbers as a result an excessive heat warning has been issued for much of California and Las Vegas excessive heat watches are in effect for places in uh like Phoenix and Tucson Vegas could hit 111 degrees on Thursday that could be one for the record books I mean that would be the earliest that they’ve seen temperatures go above 110 degrees not only is it warm there but we’re also looking at 90s in Boise Idaho so when you look at the temperature Outlook this comes from the climate Prediction Center this takes us into June 8th through 12th so next week going to be on much above normal still remaining very hot out west uh and starkly contrasting that is a cooler than normal situation developing over the middle of the country but even with that cooler uh weather anticipated we’re still looking at the top five warmest spring for a lot of cities in the central portions of the country and in the Northeast that’s in red there warmest Springs on record in yellow a lot of that heat only helping to fuel these storms Sanderson Texas look at this tornado materialized ing there over this weekend and the threat for severe weather does persist here we go this afternoon and evening we could see some storms developing in Oklahoma City Dallas even up towards Madison and it’s there where we could see damaging winds and large hail a second threat uh exists and that’s tomorrow Tuesday for cities like de Moy Centerville St Joseph and Kansas City I also have to mention the rainfall moving into the Pacific Northwest they’re going to tap into that atmospheric River and

take on the day’s top stories a lot of news today so let’s get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R murl Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcasts start here [Music] thanks so much for streaming with us for older transgender individuals today’s world is a stark contrast to the world they once lived in ABC News spoke with two members of the trans Community about the acceptance and representation of the lgbtq plus Community they have witnessed and been a part of over the decades as ABC News celebres pride month I got beat up a lot and at first I just ran and then when I started to fight back accompanied by Broken Fingers you know what happens you don’t get bullet as much just because you get beaten and I’ve been beaten many times that doesn’t mean you’ve been defeated so many people even people in my family they would say say Renee the way you walk down the street you’re putting yourself at risk right why do you you know present yourself like you do cuz you could be killed and my answer to them is if I present myself as somebody I’m not they’ve already killed me repent repent sure our community was smaller because the oppression was greater it doesn’t mean that the amount of people who would have fully blossomed had it not been for violence oppression ridicule so it’s refreshing now to see so many people now you know come out I mean you know you even have trans politicians for Christ’s [Music] sake see you later okay I often get mad at myself why did I live so miserable for all those years in Jamaica that culture is very religious you never saw any evidence of any other gender but male and female and when I migrated here my family in Brooklyn I was 10 years old and I didn’t really think about it I just knew that I was different I didn’t transition until I was in my 50s because even after college it just didn’t seem like it was feasible because you always hear about people who lived in in in the West in California and so forth perhaps transitioning but it wasn’t something that that I really thought about pursuing yeah you know I just lived Miserable as a lesbian for many years happy Birthday Chris it’s a rebirth because I almost feel like I’m a teenager most days because I’ve lived this long life where the mirror did not reflect what I was feeling I truly think that I was always Str it’s it’s just that physically when I looked in the mirror that reflection wasn’t coming back to me gretings people how are you I’m doing I’m doing getting older can sometimes be difficult as it is getting older as a trans person is even a little bit more so because of marginalization in society when we look at the word marginalized is just so painful especially as a transgender person person and seeing it in our older adults they shouldn’t have to closet themselves when they go into a nursing home or into social setting Society should just Embrace us for who we are I’m not going to deny it there was a time when I had my nails painted I would wear gloves like if I was on the bus cuz I was obeying ignorant people and now oh how about this I’ll take my gloves off deliberately and and that’s Freedom that’s really Freedom cuz I don’t care who you are on this Earth you make your freedom every day nobody gives it to you and here’s the other thing when we talk about young people I feel indebted to them because I think of many older trans people they weren’t as out as they are now and it’s because the youth liberated them I feel indebted I really do sometimes I’ll leave even tell someone who came out like a month ago and I’ll say thank you for freeing me people try to dehumanize us as a people as a group we always come back and say no we’re much more than that I think that’s what’s scaring a lot of people because they see that the youth are not just laying back and not saying anything right are human rights human right find the courage that that I found later that I wish I had found earlier now when I look in the mirror it comes back to me it gives me a new Awakening in terms of how I feel about my myself if you really feel it you’ll never be free until you do it as long as you hide you’re in jail like I said when you worry what other people think of you you will always be their prisoner maybe in some ways I live my everyday life in more danger but more free than ever how’s

lgbtq plus community may have an increased risk of certain types of cancers theories about this possibly lifestyle factors they may be more likely to smoke drink or live with obesity there may be care inequities avoiding doctor visits for fear of discrimination which obviously is a massive problem uh big picture here in this country there are nine states that actually permit medical professionals to refuse care to people who identify as lgbtq um that’s that would pertain to 20% of the overall population the lgbtq population and in this country there’s an estimated 1 plus million lgbtq plus people living with cancer so I think we have to take this as an opportunity and a reminder we have to look at different conditions among different patient populations to really be able to make good observations and then Target some interventions that can help save lives so what can this report teach healthc care providers when it comes to inclusive care well first healthc care providers they have to realize that there is a stigma of there on both sides of of the street and they have to increase awareness both for themselves and for their patients it has to be a two-way street patients also have to have their share of responsibility but the onus of responsibility has to start within the medical profession right doctor thank you very much we appreciate it let’s check in out with

immunity and abortion access more Americans turn to World News Tonight with David mure the most watched newscast on television welcome back to gma3 it’s the vacation turned nightmare for Brian hagerich and his family they were leaving Turks and Kos heading back home when he was arrested authorities finding 20 rounds of ammunition in his luggage hagerich was one of five Americans detained on similar charges there he faced up to 12 years in prison for violating local gun control laws but after a guilty plea a judge sentenced him to a suspended 52- we sentence and a fine Brian has now reunited with his family and he and his wife Ashley are both joining us on gma3 for their first inperson TV interview uh good to see you guys and thanks for being here thanks for having us so you guys have finally reunited here Brian what were you thinking when all of this happened just completely OST struck um we had no idea what was about to unfold um at the time I thought you know my biggest concern was boarding that flight getting back to Ashley and the children which we quickly Learned was not going to be the case I I have to ask you the question I think so many people have is how did that ammo end up in your bag did you know that they had laws against having ammunition brought to the country so the bags one I frequently use for hunting trips throughout the fall and the winter time you know in accord comparison to size for the whole bag it was 2 to 3% of the entire weight so it’s not something you would easily recognize it had multiple compartments and it was certainly a mistake that I made that not checking every last pocket and Ashley this all started off as a random bag check and you were actually pleading with officials just let us pay a fine and let us go certainly because you know in the United States that’s what would happen if something like this happened you would pay a fine get rid of the ammo and You’ be on your way so I just said you know can’t this be resolved differently can’t we just pay a fine and and board our flight and I think we very quickly realized that that was not going to be the case but when did you say to yourself okay this is bad this is really bad really bad so I would say it was after we were taken away from Brian so the the kids and I we had maybe 30 seconds to say goodbye to Brian and um one of the um TSA officials custom officials um took us to our gate because our flight was boarding rather quickly so then I kind of looked at her and I was like I need to understand like are you a mother and she like kind of looked at me and I was like I need to understand like what’s really happening here like what’s the severity like can you be honest with me and let me know what’s really going on and she said to me like Point Blank she like you’re not going to see your husband tomorrow she’s like you’re not going to see your husband for a couple weeks and I kind of was very taken aback and that’s when she was like this holds a a mandatory minimum of a 12year jail sentence and it floored me cuz there I am with both of our children um they’re crying because their dad’s not with us and in that moment I think I very quickly realized the severity of of what we were dealing with in that moment what would you all tell other families that are thinking about going there for vacation well I mean I’m a human I made a mistake you know we’re all human you know certainly be very very thorough and checking your bag I mean plain and simple we never thought this could happen to us never in a thousand years that I expected to be detained in Turks and caos for and a half months so it can happen to anyone and to be careful yeah and I would say this is a place that we’ visited four times prior our kids looked forward to going there every year so you never imagine something like this never imagine it’s a place that we love and we’ve always respected the island and we love going there um so I think you know we’re all human and never in a million years had we think we’d find ourselves in a situation like this so I just think it’s important for people to really you know give others Grace because anybody can make a mistake that can really impact the rest of your life rather quickly would you guys go back I think we’re going to consider some different vacations there obviously a lot of great choices um you know different places to make memories yes there are two Americans who are still there that I want to ask you about uh Ryan Watson and Sharita Greer you were actually telling me about sherita’s conditions said she was handcuffed to a chair yes so we were the first ones to visit Sharita once we learned of uh her being taken into custody we’re able to bring her food a blanket pillow just basic necessities that she needed um and we did find her handcuffed to a chair for three nights um she has some medical conditions that she suffers from thankfully you know she’s okay um but we were very very concerned for her and what are you hoping for them I know you said you consider them family absolutely I mean I I lived with both of them for for multiple weeks um so they are family to us you know obviously with me being the first one released uh hopefully a precedent has been set that allows them to return home soon to their families as well Brian and Ashley thank you so much for being

wherever you get your podcasts first thing in the morning there’s a lot going on we’re still in a flash flood warning to catch you up with what happened overnight Le in riot gear arresting dozens of protesters what’s happening today escalating tensions in the Middle East what people are talking about the migrant crisis fast straightforward with some fun in between check out the gator on the 17th poll the buzz kill in baseball first thing in the morning America this morning America’s number one early morning news on ABC News live reporting from Burlington Vermont right in the heart of the path of totality wherever the story is we take you there you’re streaming ABC News live all right welcome back to DM 3 that was of course what of dinner for Lopez’s hits but she will not be getting loud this summer after she canceled her this is me live tour on Friday it’s a good song here to catch us up on what we need to know and to break down what kind of summer concerts we can expect is our very own and our favorite Mike Muse up everybody happy Monday okay so I this is really interesting to me this the statement that you made before we get to the concert headlines you say we need to know our concert goer identity I prefer like Arenas um and stadiums because I like a reserve seat uh particular Arenas I like climate controll and if you have a suite for me that’s even better right but some people love the festival experience some people like standing outside some people like seeing a wide range of individuals and people don’t mind standing and people don’t really mind the seats but I like a little Comfort right now in my life yeah you don’t get a seat at a festival I’m in my comfort era let’s talk about jaylo so she just canceled her concert a lot of people are not happy about it but you say there is sort of like this wave right now of people canceling their concerts yeah so definitely jaylo cancel her concert and I do feel bad I mean that c can’t be a good feeling when you have to cancel your concert due to uh slow ticket sales but there a lot of other artists like that too as well The Black Keys chly right now uh they cancel their concert tour as well uh JLo did release a statement that she is uh heart sick about the idea of having to cancel and disappointing her fans but the challenge these days in this new that we’re in with digital music and streaming platforms is that it’s so hard for artists to be relevant today right like you have to constantly be pushing out music and singles even in between albums it’s important that you release singles so that way you can always get introduced to new audiences because the price of ticket are so expensive it’s hard to do what we used to do back in the day when artist can make an album come out 10 years later and then sell out Mass Square Garden it’s just not like that anymore but how do it how does it work for some and not for others I mean Lauren Hill hasn’t made a hit in 25 years but she sells out out places all over the country Kids on the Block yeah exactly it’s still rocking there’s some Legacy artists like the Rolling Stones Lauren Hill the OS of the world they do have an established uh discography they have an established fan base and so it’s easy for them to come out in particular sellout shows and particular in the dynamic of dynamic pricing with ticket sales The Ticket Master and Live Nation the US justice department does have a lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticket Master looking at them a monopoly but I disagree with this lawsuit and the aspect of it doesn’t solve the issue of pricing the reason why people went to go see Beyonce and Taylor Swift in Europe because it was cheaper Europe has a regulation where they only mandate 20% markup on the tickets and resale so if the US wants to really care about the consumer Monopoly is one thing but what hurt me was that people were saying hopefully the tickets would be cheaper now no uh because we still do what the market demands and there are people willing to pay thousands of dollars to see Beyonce so there will always be the cost of that TI and when you can go to Europe and see them over there and have a trip that’s what people will do exactly St Thomas than thanks thank you man good to see you I like your t for Monday morning it’s courtesy of my cousin’s wedding all right folks when we come back Dr J has some tips to give you about your GI track how to reset it plus he’s a farmer turned comic and he’s here to make us laugh the comedian taking a break from his goats and chickens to take a nationwide Tour by

at 10 Downing Street wherever the story is we’re going to take you there you’re streaming ABC News live ABC News live you’re streaming ABC News live ABC News live live streaming free everywhere why do so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day’s top stories a lot of news today so let’s get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R ml Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a news podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcast CS start here everybody right now is worried that Tik tok’s going to be banned in the United States we owe a lot to Tik Tok and I do not want to see it Bann that’s my main source of income it would bring me into a deep depression what evidence have you guys actually seen that this is a threat to National Security the two greatest powers on Earth are vying over a teenage video app I am not imagining a future without Tik Tok the death of Tik Tok this is impact by night now studing on Hulu Dr Jen back with us and today we’re talking about something a lot of my mom friends have talked about cuz they’ve noticed anecdotally younger and younger girls starting their periods what is behind this and there this was a latest published study in Jamma Network open this is a trend we’ve been following for several decades I want to be clear and we’re talking particularly about the age of a first menstrual period in girls gradually ticking down down getting younger and younger now hovering around on average for North American Girls allers 11 and 1/2 years of age that’s average which means if you look at a bell-shaped curve you’re going to see some girls getting their first period at age nine n and a half 10 um body mass index obesity childhood obesity play a big role but this study found that only approximately half of those early puberty in girlss is tracked to their Mi so what is causing this change other theories our environment anything from air pollution to those forever chemicals that we’re exposed to so often childhood stress adverse childhood experiences which can trigger that whole hormonal access and I want to be clear this has some real physical as well as psychological adverse negative consequences down the road we have to pay attention to this I was about to add you fact to in the emotional and psychological impact it it’s huge you guys so we have to remember a 9-year-old having to deal with this is does not have the same emotional preparedness as a 12 or 13-year-old so this is where you need all hands on deck you need dads involved you need pediatricians involved you need teachers involved and we need to understand that this is this can be very very hard for those you still look at it as like oh you’re becoming a woman that’s not that at the age of nine 10 that that’s that’s a big deal yeah all right we’re back in a moment stay with us why do so many people start their day here from ABC News this is start here to be in the know and get a different take on the day’s

making a little chicken salad would you put that oil this smells very different than my Chien salad so we’re adding a little oil I roasted a chicken it’s whole cut it up but then we use all those lovely juices from the bottom of the roasting pan to make a little vinegret smells so good it’s kind of meaty can I get a little think so so in here we have would you whisk for me okay yes must and a little bit of balsamic and then a little oil and the juices from the pan and then we just literally pour it into a container and that’s our dressing but it’s almost like a meat sauce so it’s got this hardiness without anything you look fancy it does you’re like I’m sorry I made the the vinegarette from drippings I don’t know what you did and how long does this process take right here is it literally guess what we’re done oh nice we done we pour it in here right so so a little thigh meat a a little breast meat a little both we just you can cut the chicken however you like uh the doctor’s

America so what are we serving up well how about everything you need to know that sounds pretty good your health your money breaking news news music and of course good food a third hour of GMA in the afternoon so join us afternoon for everything you need to know I love that reporting from the nuclear armed ballistic missile submarine the USS Kentucky in South Korea I’m Martha rtis you’re streaming ABC News [Music] live good afternoon I’m Alex P in Washington and right now on ABC News live the president’s son on trial in a Delaware courtroom Hunter Biden facing three felony gun charges after a plea deal fell apart the first lady sitting in the front row what we’re learning about that jury now seated and what President Biden said today about his son and the President also making headlines today on immigration likely to sign an executive order as early as tomorrow I’ll speak with the Biden Harris campaign National spokesperson and Wildfire is Raging in the West Burning thousands of Acres what we’re on the ground in Northern California as life-threatening triple- digit temperatures bait the region but we begin with the jury now seated in Hunter Biden’s Federal Gun trial the president’s son back in court in Wilmington Delaware for today’s proceedings first lady Jill Biden also attending seated in the front row to show the Family Support President Biden was not there but released a statement saying he has boundless love for his son and confidence in him Hunter Biden facing three felony charges after prosecutors say he lied on a federal F form indicating he wasn’t using drugs when he bought a revolver handgun in 2018 during a period where he admits that he was addicted to crack the charges carry a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison if he’s convicted this is the first time a sitting President’s child has been put on trial and political analysts say it could impact President Biden’s reelection campaign I’ll speak with a senior spokesperson for the Biden Harris campaign in just a moment but first joining me now with more ABC News investigative reporter Olivia Rubin live outside that Delaware Courthouse along with ABC News legal contributor and trial attorney Brian buckmire Olivia okay so we have the 12 jurors and four alternates now seated but what can you tell us about today’s proceedings well it was quite quick to seat a jury of 12 and four alternates the parties all moving very quickly to quiz these Delaware residents about their views about Hunter Biden about the case about gun laws in this country about their political views about addiction all aspects that are going to be key when it comes to this case so to the 12 jurors who have now been seated there are seven males and five females and I’m just quickly rattling off to you a bit about them as we just ran out of court uh a number of them I would Note have family members who have struggled with addiction a number of them are personal gun owners uh for example juror number two is a woman who actually worked for the Secret Service for nearly 25 years her husband was also a uniformed officer in DC stationed at places like the capital and the White House he is a gun owner uh there is another individual who said he has concealed carry licenses in multiple states he has owned six guns throughout his life currently he owns three and said quote I believe the Second Amendment is very important and there was also uh a woman who said that her family hunts and she has grown up around rifle she said that her childhood best friend died from an overdose uh and had struggled with addiction before that and that was someone who Hunter Biden sort of nodded along with as she was telling her story so some deeply personal stories told about this jury who in some ways can likely relate to Hunter Biden’s situation well in in Brian look I mean we’d heard that the defense was probably going to be looking for jurors that would be sympathetic to uh addiction struggles but we know the prosecution is also going to try to use or likely trying to use messages uh from from a 2021 Memoir to prove that Hunter Biden was addicted or using between October uh 2023 and or excuse me October 12th 2023 and or excuse me the 12th through the 23rd of 2018 um but I’m curious you know what are the challenges with with that strategy yeah so as you’re saying Alex some of the challenges are trying to get those past statements or sorry those future statements uh specifically the Memoir and there’s also a text message that govern is going to try to use to say that uh Hunter Biden at that time said he was using but I think that’s going to be difficult for the government because if Hunter Biden for example was to take the stand and say when I wrote that Memoir in 2021 looking back I understood that after October I fell off the wagon but if you’re talking about Hunter Biden on October 12th of 20 of 2018 when he signed that document and spoke to that dealer he had already been on an 11-day rehab and was Now with uh I think they call it a sober companion when he signed that document he was truthful at that time and having people who understand addiction understand that you can be sober and not using for a Time quote unquote fall off the wagon and then be sober again but at that specific time I think he has the ability to argue uh I was sober and not using and being truthful at that time Olivia we we also expect the prosecution to call around a dozen Witnesses including uh Biden’s ex-wife also uh Haley Biden who was romantically involved with Hunter um after his brother Bo’s death look I mean there’ll be some that look at this as as potentially a strategy to to air the family’s Dirty Laundry uh and and and likely distract President Biden is that is that fair that would be incorrect the individuals that you know are being called here have ties to the case hi Biden is being called because she was quite literally the one who discovered the gun that Hunter Biden had purchased and threw it in the trash so it doesn’t appear that you know they are just trying to call anyone and everyone they certainly are not calling Jill Biden they certainly are not calling Hunter’s curtain wife they certainly are not calling any of the other grandkids but they have appeared at least to identify those who are tied to the case and who will have relevant information to offer for the jury as the government tries to prove this case and the question of course then will be who does Hunter Biden call does he put on any case at all well all right and Brian lastly here are the charges against Hunter Biden unusual they’re unusual in a sense that we don’t typically see charges like this because look at what the government’s evidence is it’s the use of his Memoir and text messages and also that just the majority of people in this country know that the former president’s son has a difficulty with addiction especially over a period of time but nine times out of 10 for the average citizen uh the addiction that a person may suffer from may be protected under HIPPA laws or they might just be personal comments between family members who are not reporting individuals that someone bought a gun so it’s unusual in the sense of you don’t typically get this information that is so public that can be used to prosecute someone for purchasing a firearm all right Olivia Rubin and Brian buckmire thank you both uh for more I want to bring in the Biden Harris senior campaign spokesperson Adrien Elrod Adrien thank you for joining us you look I mean obviously this is this is very personal for for for the president um but he’s already issued a statement saying he won’t comment on Hunter’s case but has quote boundless love for him um look there will be some people that are watching this play out saying that you know this is a potential weak point for for the Biden campaign or at least at the very much uh at the very least a potential distraction how do how how do you take that well look first of all I think there are millions of Americans around the country who understand what it’s like to have a child who suffers from addiction um as you mentioned the president put out a statement this morning along with Dr Biden making it very clear that they Unconditionally Love their son they have boundless support for him are so proud of all the work and progress he’s made when it comes to overcoming his addiction the legal process will play out but the bottom line is this election is down to two people it’s a binary choice between Donald Trump Joe Biden Hunter Biden is not on the ballot uh and we are making it very clear that Joe Biden is the candidate who is going to fight for the American people fight for our freedoms whereas Donald Trump is someone who’s very focused on himself and seeking political revenge on his enemies this election is about a choice and a contrast it’s not about Hunter Biden in this trial you bring up Donald Trump and obviously uh last week’s conviction is is is top of mine I’d like to talk about a new ABC News uh ipsus poll that finds 47% of Americans say they think the hush money charges against former president Donald Trump were politically motivated um and listen I mean Trump’s even campaigned on that um but I’m curious I mean does the Biden Harris campaign see this as as as a challenge in terms of the the the verdict of last week yes yeah look we see it as a major contrast point I mean look convicted felon or not Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee he is the Republican nominee he is who we are running against um it’s no surprise of course that a lot of his supporters sent him money um we also had a really strong fundraising day as well uh but the bottom line is this is election this is a contrast point in the election it is making it we are making it clear that Donald Trump and you saw the crazy press conference he did after the verdict uh where he sounded unhinged and he was kind of Rambling On You contrast that with President Biden who you know spoke about protecting democracy from the white house uh the day after made it very clear that democracy is at stake and by the way he also made it very clear that our judicial system is the backbone of democracy in this country and to have Donald Trump going out there and criticizing the jurors who by the way were of his PE they were 12 people from New York they were a jury of his peers that were fairly chosen by both sides by both defense and prosecution um and it’s very dangerous when you have somebody who is one step away from becoming president again uh saying these things about democracy and trying to undermine our institutions President Biden made it very clear the judicial system played out the way it should um and again I think we know we have a debate coming up very soon uh I think the American people really have a chance to see what is at stake when the two of them uh go out and have this conversation one of the things that’s likely to come up on that debate stage is the topic of immigration um listen AB news poll from earlier this year shows that most Americans trust Trump over Biden to handle the southern border I understand that the president is poised to to enact an executive order on immigration can you preview that for us yeah look I mean he’s going to make it clear that since Congress did not act even though we had the most historic bipartisan bill that both Democrats and Republicans worked on for at least 10 years on the floor that Republicans completely uh you know didn’t support even though uh it was negotiated by Republicans they did it because Donald Trump told them not to uh President Biden is going to take action and he’s putting forth a very a very concrete executive order that will take action at the border that will limit the number of people who can come across because something has to be done if republicans in Congress are not going to come to the table and act President Biden is going to uh the other thing President Biden today urged Hamas to accept Israel’s ceasefire proposal a plan that he said would help in the war rescue hostages and also increase Aid uh to Gaza how is the Biden Harris campaign addressing the war while appealing to young voters certainly we’ve seen these protests at college campuses across the country uh but how how are how are you strategically striking a cord with with that voting block yeah look I mean this is leadership this is what leadership is all about President Biden made it very clear in that statement that you referenced last week that he made from the White House that there is a cease that there is a a deal on the table for a ceasefire Hamas has to step up it is in their hands but this is what leadership is all about this is what a steady president who has multiple relationships with foreign leaders across the country I mean across the world um you know somebody who has been a tough negotiator his entire life the former chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he’s been steeped in foreign policy and negotiating with foreign leaders his entire life and when you have somebody like President Biden who’s who’s had a very steady hand over this issue but has also made it very clear that you know this is not an easy issue to hand to handle as president and he wants to make sure that he’s doing everything he can you know working with all the players at the table to strike a deal a ceasefire deal is on the table he wants to make it happen and this is what leaders do they lead they work across the aisle they work across the table and they try to get something done all right Adrien Elrod will stay tuned thank you so much for your time today so much thanks all right and Switching gears to the West wildfires are raging out there the first major California wildfire of the Year prompting evacuations en closures across the state the coral fire in san haqin county has scor more than 14,000 acres in Northern California calire saying the fire is 75% contained these fires breaking out ahead of a predicted major Heat Wave let’s bring in ABC News correspondent mola langi in Northern California mola this isn’t your first roller coaster covering wildfires but usually we’re covering them a little later on in the year when those Santa Ana winds roll through talk to us about just how intense has has the firefighting been there thus far uh well very intense uh you know especially over the course of the weekend where conditions were less than optimal for firefighters and more than optimal for uh the spreading of a fire firefighters have gotten most of a lot of this under under containment here as you mentioned Alex it’s about 75% contained uh and a lot of that uh has been achieved over the last 24 hours or so because conditions uh started to shift a little bit here winds started to die down uh allowing firefighters to make a lot of progress here again over the last 24 hours but that’s after a weekend that saw some intense firefighting that saw conditions that were really brutal high winds uh dry conditions dry grass that allowed uh fires to spread uh high heat again allowing that fire to really do a lot of damage 20 square miles 20 square miles were were burned over the uh over Saturday and Sunday before conditions again started to shift uh and again still very much a Race Against Time while conditions did improve today allowing firefighters to make that progress uh they’re not expected to stay this way uh triple digit heat expected to move in here uh later this week Alex well and M you mentioned that dry grass just fuel for these fires but also I see you’re standing there in front of it looks like someone’s Burnt Truck at the end of the day this impacts people and so I mean how many people here have been affected yeah hundreds at a minimum I mean you you’ve got hundreds of people who were impacted in to various degrees right you you had people who were uh in a panic rushed out of their homes evacuated out of their homes uh really only able to grab what they could carry out clothes on their back maybe their pets uh their loved ones and that was about it and then spending the next few hours uncertain uh worried uh the anxiety of not knowing what’s happening with your homes uh best case scenario those folks were able to return to their homes uh and and and suffered no damage and and really just spent a few hours worrying and panicking worst case scenario was something like this these homeowners who lost their uh entire home you see the burnt out truck but there also used to be a home sitting right on the other side of that truck where now all you see is you know burnt out debris Char uh that’s all that’s left so this is a worst case scenario evacuation orders have been lifted so folks are beginning to go back uh to their to their properties to their homes most uh fortunately did not suffer this sort of damage but again this is the sort of thing that could happen to a person person Alex yeah well uh those families certainly in our thoughts mola thank you very much stay safe out there and over 24 million people in the state of California are on alert for life-threatening triple digigit heat ABC News meteorologist Samara Theodore is tracking that part of the country Samara when might these folks see some relief from these dangerous temperatures Alex conditions only getting worse before they get better I can tell you that so tomorrow where this fire Is Burning uh Tracy California temperatures will jump to about 100° so we’re heating up not only that relative humidity drops to around 20% so maintaining very dry conditions and winds could gust upwards of 30 mph both today and tomorrow as a result of all that heat we are monitoring the excessive heat warnings that have been put in place for central California heat advisories closer to the coast and excessive heat watches for much of Southern Arizona including Phoenix and Tucson Vegas could actually break records here on Thursday we could see temperatures in Las Vegas shoot for about 111 maybe even 112° that will be the earliest they seen a temperature above 110 and like I said that could be one for the record books now climate Prediction Center between June 8th and 12 still keeping the West Coast much above normal Alex all right Samara thank you for all of that and coming up history made in Mexico as the country elects its first female president will have a live report from Mexico City after

she ran the place for a while and she did so to pretty popular appeal she was a popular mayor when she was here in Mexico City and when you win Mexico City and the surrounding state of Mexico when you have that popularity there it really catapults you to the National stage and that is certainly what she did her background environmental engineering she was part of a Nobel prize winning team uh that wrote a climate change report about 20 years ago she was part of the team that won the Nobel Prize there going back to her days as a student she was an activist she’s been politically involved for a very long time but it was becoming mayor of Mexico City and then being taken under the wing of now popular president Andres Manuel Lopez orador who’s currently the president and he really kind of handpicked her to be his successor and given his popularity riding off of that and her own personal resume there there’s no question that she is where she is because of her own merits well and Matt also the other big thing happening in Mexico I mean this this violence you’ve heard about the cartel violence it’s this uptick uh how is she going to be able to to curb some of this you know she says she’s going to continue the policies of Lopez orador and I think it’s fair to say that those policies have largely failed he has a policy that he’s famous for here in Mexico called Aros noos which means hugs not bullets uh and his approach in the beginning which I think held Merit was that he was going to try and address the root causes why are people going into uh the cartel World why is there so much organized crime you address the root causes you solve the crisis it’s a good idea in theory but what happened over the last 6 years is we’ve seen more murders recorded in Mexico during the last 6year presidential term than any other president iial term in Mexican history so it’s safe to say that his security policies have failed so when she says well she’s going to continue to invest in the National Guard and investigative capacity and AAS noos well that doesn’t really hold water for a lot of Mexicans to say something needs to change because what’s been happening right now certainly isn’t working Matt Rivers uh thank you so much for that and Matt will have an indepth report on the new Mexican president later tonight so be sure to catch ABC News live Prime with lindsy Davis coming

threat to National Security the two greatest powers on Earth are vying over a teenage video app I am not imagining a future without Tik Tok the death of Tik Tok this is impact by Nightline now streaming on Hulu standing trial for the first time in US history I’m Alex paset in Washington DC in today’s big story Hunter Biden in court in Delaware today for the start of his federal gun case what we’re learning about the jury now seated and the question of whether the spectacle of the trial could impact President Biden’s re-election campaign and in our Spotlight Republicans on the hill rallying around Donald Trump after the historic guilty verdict in his trial our panel weighs in on the political Fallout from the hush money [Music] case but we begin with our big story the jury now seated in Hunter Biden’s Federal Gun trial the president’s son back in court in Wilmington Delaware for today’s proceedings first lady Jill Biden also attending seated in the front row to show the Family Support President Biden was not there but released a statement saying he has quote boundless love for his son and confidence in him Hunter Biden facing three felony charges after prosecutors say he lied on a Federal Form by indicating he wasn’t using drugs when he bought a revolver handgun in 2018 during a period which he admits he was addicted to crack the charges carry a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison if he’s convicted joining me now with more on this is ABC News investigative reporter Olivia Rubin who’s been in Wilmington following this for us Olivia let’s start with this jury now seated we have the 12 jurors four alternates but how did jury selection go today quick and quite frankly fairly easy Alex all of the parties sped through this jury selection process which saw 12 jurors and four alternates seated by the end of the day they had expected that it could take longer those jurors the way it worked Alex just to sort of set the scene for you were walked into the courtroom one by one after filling out the jury questionnaire to talk more in depth about any strong views that they held on guns on addiction and on politics because those are three Central issues at this case of course the most remarkable that the defendant is the son of the sitting United States president and they answered those questions Alex in front of Hunter Biden in front of you know numerous members of the secet secet service and of course in front of Jill Biden who was sitting in the front row basically the entire day watching intently as the jurors answered their questions many of them recounting some sort of personal relationship that they had with the bidens one talking about playing squash with uh Joe Biden’s now deceased Sun Bo so quite a remarkable sort of you know dynamic inside of the courtroom but of course they settled on uh those 12 jurors six men and Six Women many of whom did recount their own own personal experiences with family members or friends who are gun owners or who suffered from addiction Alex well in Olivia hbid admits to being addicted to drugs but says he was not on drugs when he filled out that Federal Form for a gun I mean what more can you tell us about how his lawyers are planning to defend him in this case well that is a great question as it relates to the addiction it is very clear just based on watching jury selection that Hunter attorneys Abby LEL and David k are looking to cast doubt on whether Hunter Biden was currently addicted at the time that he bought the gun in early October 2018 when a jury a jur potential juror would answer that they did not think that someone under uh you know addiction or drug use should be able to own a gun ABY L would quickly act ask them what if it was someone who recently uh you know had recovered so it is not clear how they are going to you know introduce that evidence to prove uh whether or not Hunter was addicted at that time but it will be fascinating if they can and of course prosecutors are going to introduce evidence from his own Memoir and text messages that would suggest he was using drugs at the time elsewhere Hunter team will try to poke holes in some of the defens of story relating to the evidence the other thing Olivia prosecutors are expected to call around a dozen Witnesses including Biden’s ex-wife uh also we’re expected to hear from his brother’s widow uh who was romantically involved with Hunter Biden after Bose’s death look I mean there will be folks that are watching this play out and say that you know this this is a little bit of airing of of of Biden’s uh dirty laundry or the president President Biden Ser laundry but I’m I’m curious I mean what what are the pro what’s the prosecution hoping to prove with some of these testimonies well specifically as it relates to H Biden the Widow of B who was in the relationship with Hunter once he passed Hy plays a very critical role because she is the one who quite literally found the gun that Hunter Biden had allegedly purchased and threw it in the garbage that is a key piece of evidence and remember it was also allegedly in this pouch that prosecutors years later tested uh for drugs and said that they found cocaine residue on it that is something that it appears the defense will try to challenge but still H plays at least it appears a key role in laying out the timeline here uh on what the government says is a very simple case and they are using members of the Biden family Alex to try to prove that all right oliv Reuben outside yet another courtroom for us uh thank you so much for today all right I want to bring this uh big story to our panel joining us today ABC News legal contributor and trial attorney Brian buckmire ABC News political contributor and former Democratic senator for North Dakota Heidi height Camp National Review editor Ramesh panu and ABC News contributor and Sirius XM radio host Mike Muse all right uh Brian I want to start with you on this uh do you think that overall Biden has a decent case uh that involves arguing intent or or using current scotus cases to his benefit absolutely I so I break this case down into two things one being a false statement into the actual possession when it comes to the false statements his intent is at the time in which he signed those documents he can have a memoir saying looking back uh in late October or November I fell off the wagon so to speak but from October 12th to the 23rd the question is when he signed that document uh on the 12th did he have the intent to lie and then when it comes to possession we have a Supreme Court case actually currently going uh through the court a decision should come down this month where a person convicted of domestic violence is saying that I shouldn’t have my rights limited to having a gun based on scotus uh uh scotus law and so I think Hunter Biden depending on how the next couple of weeks work out may have a strong argument as well raes hop in here I mean how difficult is it going to be for a and the rest of Biden’s defense team to to De beat these charges well I think uh L is a very highly paid attorney and I think in this case he is going to be earning that money uh it’s a difficult case the facts presented are difficult not particularly sympathetic uh I do think that there is a there is a chance but you know there’s another problem here which is a political one which is relying on Supreme Court’s precedence on gun rights when the administration is pretty skeptical of those precedents doesn’t want them widened I think creates a little bit of a political problem although you know it’s obviously something that the that the younger Biden feels that he needs to do in his self interest well and Heidi there’s exposure of about 25 years here I’m curious in your estimation I mean was there pressure by uh the former president to bring more severe charges in Hunter’s case I don’t think so I I think that the once this became uh the public became aware of all these facts and everybody’s saying if you don’t prosecute them that’s selective prosecution but what I think is interesting to uh the Counterpoint to what you just heard is where are the Second Amendment Advocates let me tell you I know a lot of people who smoke marijuana who own guns and so if the federal government can go after everybody who when they signed that application was uh basically whether legal or illegal in their State using marijuana this could be a really interesting expansion case and a difficulty for Second Amendment so we’ll see how this plays out although they might get in the weeds over uh over drug categorizations um but Mike I want you to hop in here uh Hunter Biden’s trial comes on the heels of former president Trump’s conviction on felony charges last week so I youan know what impact could this have on uh the presidential election in November I don’t know about the impact on president election in November what I can talk to you about though is the impact that it’s having on the current conversation that we’re having uh the timing of it um couldn’t have been more Shakespearean um as the jury has rendered a guilty verdict on 34 counts on former president Trump and then the following week we go into uh President Biden’s on herter Biden’s trial what you have been hearing depending upon who you’re listening to uh and what Echo chamber you exist in is that this has been a political Witch Hunt uh is that Biden’s Department of Justice was going after Trump um that Trump did nothing illegally wrong um really being dismissive of the 12 ordinary citizens that did an extraordinary Act of fulfilling their civic duty As Americans and serving on the jury what this does is it neutralizes that conversation because now you actually do have uh Biden’s Department of Justice actually going after his own son so that neutralizes well in theory one would think in normal time times that it would neutralize the conversation that former president Trump to was political Witch Hunt how can it be a political Witch Hunt if at the same time his son is currently on trial so I think that it changes the calculus of this current conversation what happens in November I can’t predict that got you well I got to give you a crystal ball um because you’re so good at this uh Brian Heidi rshh and Mike thank you very much and stick around because coming up in our Spotlight while Donald Trump’s hush money trial with a verdict shake up the campaign Trail the Fallout is seeming to have made its way to the steps of Capitol Hill my panel weighs in on that next whenever news breaks we are here in Israel a nation at war after that brutal surprise attack by Hamas on the ground in Ukraine reporting from Leon Maine the scene of a

today so let’s get into it listen now to the Daily News podcast honored with four Edward R ml Awards and see why the New York Times calls it a new News podcast worth listening to start here ABC News make it your daily first listen now that’s a part of the story I bet you didn’t see coming wherever you get your podcasts start [Music] here in our Spotlight former president Donald Trump is returning to the campaign Trail fresh off the guilty verdict in his New York hush money trial but Fallout over the case is now making its way to Capitol Hill lawmakers reacting to Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts after returning from a onewe recess my Republican colleagues don’t even support the right of convicted felons to get their voting rights restored to them after they leave prison have done good time finished Probation and Parole and yet they’re supporting for president a convicted felon at this moment we should be using the power of the purse to hold New York accountable for the for the Sham uh conviction against President Trump the entire thing is political it’s outrageous Senate Republicans now vowing to oppose all of Biden’s nominees in Democratic legislation for the remainder of the Year following that historic guilty verdict let’s bring back my panel here Heidi he high camp R Ramesh panu also LZ Granderson and joining us ABC News contributor and OP ED columnist for the Los Ang or excuse me uh for the Los Angeles Times that is LZ Granderson and also our contributing political correspondent and co-author of the political Playbook Rachel bade thank you all uh for sticking around Rachel I want to start with you on this you have some some new reporting uh for us about Marjorie Taylor green how she’s looking to quote defund the doj’s cases related to former president uh Trump what can you tell us about this and also I mean how do you see all this playing out on the hill yeah look I mean Democrats control the Senate Alex as you know so they’re not going to be passing any government funding bills that defund the special Council or actually Target New York as you just saw uh she wants to do specifically in that clip that you guys just played but look this isn’t about necessarily getting this defund uh defunding of Jack Smith actually moving this is more targeted to an audience of one and that is Donald Trump I mean look margerie Taylor green is a top uh Trump Ally she actually fell a little bit out of favor with him when she tried to ask speaker Mike Johnson uh so I wouldn’t be surprised if this actually has a lot to do with trying to get back in his good graces but it is interesting right now we are seeing that she is uh winning over some people in the house Republican conference Jim Jordan just a few hours ago came out and said that he supports her effort to try to defund Jack Smith and defund parts of New York and not not not give them uh certain types of federal funding so what this is going to do is create a lot of drama in the house Republican conference and it’s going to put speaker Mike Johnson in a really tough spot as he tries to move these funding bills through the house Alex well and and rsh I want to go go to you on this because we now have seen some Republican campaign uh some Republicans campaign off of Trump’s convictions like Montana State candidate or Senate candidate Tim sheii who’s accused uh his opponent of uh supporting a state sponsored political persecution led by Joe Biden I’m curious I mean are we seeing the GOP trying to capitalize off of the former president’s guilty verdict here well they’re certainly trying to make the most of it and uh it seems to have been a good fundraising issue for former president Trump himself um the there is a lot of Grassroots outrage that uh Republicans are trying to tap into at the same time the legislative tactics they’re embracing are I think not as likely to succeed I don’t know that most people are going to be able to connect anger at this verdict uh and anger at the prosecution with what’s going on with these national funding bills and of course the main people who are threatening not to go along are people who don’t support those funding bills usually anyway well and and and Heidi hop in here because we’re talking about some Republicans vowing not to uh confirm any of Biden’s uh nominations or uh pass any Democratic legislation between now and the end of the year it’s I’m shocked that would never happen I mean these are people who are going to support those initiatives anyway and this is just you know they they want to turn up the outrage they want to f and the the um the fundraising U uh fan and and Make It Rain money and that’s what this is all about they know better this isn’t going to change one thing in public policy but it will again tell the voters to not not respect institutions and that’s the biggest damage here is the kind of institutional damage that’s being done by simply putting a partisan lens on what appears to be a pretty legitimate um uh State prosecution well in in Elie we’ve heard Democrats cry foul about this in the past when uh you know Republicans stalled on on uh the president’s border policy some some other potential bipartisan efforts uh to not give Biden credit I I’m curious did this trial did this conviction uh of of of the former president give them cover of sorts to to kind of continue on uh with this political tactic well it’s given them uh another way of raising funds to be quite honest with you I don’t think there’s as everyone else has said I don’t think anything substantive is going to come out of the Uproar beyond the money um everyone who is going to vote for Trump is probably still going to vote for Trump though there has been a reported up to 20% of Republican voters who say they will reconsider if Trump was found guilty what we don’t know is what they say in June is going to be what they do in November it could be you know uh just sort of a in a moment sort of response but then Republicans always seem to come home while Democrats continue to fall in love um the one thing I will say in terms of um a cultural Fallout if you will from this from this prosecution you know if you go back to what new grid tried with President Clinton and the what many people felt was sort of a sham s of impeachment process and then we find out later that many of the people who tried to impeach president uh Clinton lying about his extramarital affair actually had extramarital Affairs themselves so why did I bring that up I think a lot of people can see the hypocrisy that’s happening here especially now that Trump is saying he didn’t say lock her up so I suspect that 20% that I mentioned before at least half is going to come through and say you know what enough’s enough interesting all right Elie Heidi Ramesh and Rachel thank you very much and coming up in our last call there’s a reason she’s called the goat Simone biles crushing it at the US

time now for our last call and we can’t stop talking about the goat Simone biles biles winning her record 9th us Championship all-around title last night in Fort Worth Texas securing the gold not only only in the allaround but also in every apparatus so dominant she came out almost six points ahead of the second place winner Sky Blakeley and that’s big so Simone as well as 15 other hopefuls now on their way to the Olympic trials later this month where a selection committee will choose a five member team to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics the pressure is high for Team USA Simone biles famously pulled out of some of the events from Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after she suffered from the twisties which is a type of mental block in gymnastics Simone has been outspoken about the importance of mental health and spoke about it last night after the competition take a listen just making sure I’m healthy mentally and physically and I think at this point mentally is just as important as I physically feel so just making sure I go to my therapy sessions weekly all right so I want to bring back our panel on this to discuss LZ Heidi rshh and Mike LZ want to start with you sir uh look Simone obviously outfront on the importance of mental health uh but talk about just how big is it to hear someone like her speak on this oh it’s tremendous you know there’s this this narrative about sports particularly athletes of her of her caliber that you know you have to be mentally tough at all times and you can’t show any mental weakness and and you can’t have have to be strong and you can’t be soft and Etc and what that does is put an element of Shame over what a lot of these people need in order to be that type level of an athlete which is mental relief in addition to the physical help and physical recovery and so this is tremendous I’m very proud of her I’m happy for her and I’m excited for the United States because you have the goat on your team going to Paris who can be against you well in R she’s 27 she’s going to be leading presumably leading this team uh but what’s your take on on her speaking out like this well I think uh it’s enormously heartening um all if you remember in 2021 there was a lot of controversy a lot of people were raising the question well will she be able to come back after this and obviously she has uh she has been made more uh than a comeback uh and so it’s very exciting Heidi hop in here what do you think well I think number one everybody should understand that the twisty she could have died on any number of those apparatus so good for her taking care of herself she’s pure poetry we are so fortunate to have her representing our country well in my bring us home here what’s your favorite part of Simone’s story for her owning her own agency to step aside and all last limit to take take care of her health but actually watched last night’s competition it was absolutely brilliant uh what I’m excited for is when you saw her really the story is when you saw her interacting in between events she was laughing she was lighthearted I love the exchange and report that she’s building with Jordan child uh even Jordan child seemed very relaxed I know she came in fifth but she seemed very relaxed very at ease this is going to be a very dominant us women’s team going into Olympic trials and then ultimately going into Paris they are more Collective and as she said in her statements yesterday she’s a vet uh and so coming back as a veteran having that mental stability would prove successful for herself and for Team USA but
