Hope you had a great weekend.

I had the weirdest weekend.

It was like a polar opposites weekend.

I had a friend in town, so we went to Disneyland on Friday, and if you're a Disney fan and you hate crowds, Friday was the day to be there.

It was crazy, crazy how short the lines were and there were rooms.

There was room at the restaurants.

We were trying to figure out what it was.

It might have been because it was back to school right after that and right before Oogie Boogie Bash, because Halloween time arrives at Disneyland, I believe on the twenty second, and so maybe people are saving up or something.

But it was great for visitors.

I don't know how much money Disney made that day.

And then on Saturday we went to a Midsummer Scream, So from Disney woo oooh, Happy, Happy, Joy Joy Halloween to like the ghouls and the demons and all the dark side of Halloween and it was fabulous at the Long Beach Convention Center.

Had a great time and posted a couple of videos on my Instagram at Amy K King if you want to go check it out.

But it was so cool.

They had like all these like the haunted houses of a lot of the places that are going to be presenting haunted houses this ball and there was like twenty two of them or something, and so it was crazy and everybody in the makeup and everybody was dressed up and they had like just everything Halloween and horror.

Like the co founder told us last week, it was sort of like the comic con of Halloween and it was really cool.

So Midsummer Screen again.

News News brought to you by Sit and Sleep.

Governor Newsom's office says it is submitting a Freedom of Information Act request to find out why ICE agents were outside the governor's press conference on redistricting while in La.

Newsom has accused the Trump administration of misusing federal agents last week, saying the operation intended to intimidate those defending a fair electoral process.

The Border Patrol said one person was detain and suggested they didn't know that Newsom was at the Japanese American National Museum that day.

La Mayor Bass called the operation a provocative act.

Other Brooker KFI News.

Let's say good morning now to ABC's Brian Clark.

So, Brian, we've got redistricting front and center in Texas again today because the Democrats who took off to avoid allowing a vote are headed back to the state.

What happened over the weekend, Yeah.

We expect to see them back in Austin today for the second special legislative session.

A lot of them were in the Chicago suburbs.

That's where they went when they left Texas to break forum, and we saw a lot of them appearing at a rally in Chicago over the weekend.

It was called, you know, the stop to Takeover rally.

And now we're going to see what happens because it seems like these Democrats have made a pretty vocal point, certainly, but the Republicans they have not shown any appetite to give up this redistricting fight.

We have foreseen Governor Gavin Newsoman in California say that he's going to pursue redistricting in California to balance this out.

But this is maybe the end of one chapter, but it's certainly not the end of the story.

Okay, So, Brian, when they go back and in the new session, the Republicans have the votes, so it's going to be.

They I mean, if everybody you know goes by party line.

Yes, the Republicans have the majorities, they have the votes, and they would be able to do this in Texas.

Okay.

And is there any indication that maybe there might be a defector or two and they would vote against making changing the maps.

So far, there's no indication of that, and there's no indication that they're going to give up this fight.

They have been adamant that they're going to go after this.

It seems like the biggest if they don't go forward with this, it's just because, Okay, what kind of Pandora's box is open elsewhere?

With California of course being a prominent example, but we've also seen other states controlled by Republicans say they're going to take up redistricting in their regular session this fall.

We saw Florida, the House speaker came out and said that, I think last week or the week prior.

So it's an issue that is percolating in a lot of different state houses around the.

Country, so it could just start a whole domino effect.

That's yeah, that's what it seems like Governor Newsom is trying to do and just say that, Okay, if Texas does this, well, then here we can act and flip it this way.

Of course, this only works in terms of a domino effect when it's a state that's reliably Republican or reliably democratic and you need to figure out those districts would be.

It wouldn't work in a swing district.

Of course, Texas thinks they have it where they can easily make it more favorable for Republicans.

Governor Newsom of course came out with that map that he says will flip I think five of the nine remaining Republican districts in California.

So we time will tell how this plays out.

Okay, then another question for you, Brian, even if Texas passes the new districts, it's not a guarantee or is it or is it a guarantee?

Like they just know where those voters are and can draw those lines so specifically that they can pretty much guarantee those seats.

Yeah, I think it's the second one.

It's that they have, you know, tailored this to a point that they'll be able to draw these lines consistently.

And this seems like what Gavin Newsom is saying he could do in California, just going the other way that they know, you know where the people are, they know the borders, and they know how to draw these districts, so it's most favorable to whichever party they're representing.

Okay, any repercussions for the Texas Democrats who bailed out of the state for a couple of weeks or did they just come back in its business as usual.

They've been fined five hundred dollars a day for every day they were out in causing the quorum break.

So they've got financial fines.

They the Texas Speaker on Friday when the first session adjourned, he said they were going to seek reimbursement just for how much extra this took.

They're saying that Texas taxpayers aren't going to pay for this.

It's going to be those Democrats.

We'll see how they calculate that amount, but there are certainly financial penalties for these Democrats who left the state.

Okay, ABC's brand Clark, thanks so much for bringing us up to speed.

We'll see what happens next.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Those maybe the topics on the table when the two leaders sit down today six oh five.

Handle on the news.

Bill's gonna tell you more about that.

Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy, So, good morning, Stephen.

President Trump called up the National Guard to crack down on crime and homelessness in DC.

But apparently what he called up wasn't enough because more are headed to DC.

Yeah, it's hard to see exactly why this is happening.

The idea here is that governors from states such as West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina, led by Republicans, are offering hundreds of National Guard troops to come to DC.

What it is they're going to be doing here, what the mission is, is not entirely clear but if you turn on your favorite cable news channel, undoubtedly you'll see pictures of the armored vehicles lined up along the National Mall, in front of the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, relatively low crime, high traffic, high tourist areas of the city that are already protected by the US Park Police, and now you'll have the presence of the National Guard.

Look, DC is a violent city.

There's no dressing it up.

You could talk about how the crime rates are declining, which is true according to the statistics.

And even if you argue that, well, the statistics are fudge, the murder rate is going down.

It's hard to hide dead bodies.

You could dress it up and say, oh, this is a larcening and that it's a misdemeanor.

We can make a little adjustment there to make the picture look better.

That's the allegation.

At least it's happening.

But it's hard to do that with a homicide rate.

Suffice it to say, there are questions about what exactly the purpose of this show of force is except to be a show of force.

The National Guard troops are at the moment unarmed, but could be armed.

Some of these units particularly from Ohio that are being offered or military police officer, so at least they are trained in how to make arrests.

But your typical National guardsman receives training on civil disturbances, not you know, doing police work, and that's not the objective here.

It seems you have the federal assertion of control over the DC Police, which is the subject of a court hearing on Friday where the judge essentially said that the administration was vastly overreading its authority in the Home Rule Act, and she had the two sides get in a room and agree to kind of sort of take the temperature down and leave the DC Police chief in charge of Then you have the ramped up enforcement of federal law by federal law enforcement agencies such as ICE here in the city, and some of those ICE actions are taking place in the middle of brunch hour, where young professionals are stunned to see it, and they're increasingly outraged and taking to the streets because they didn't expect this sort of thing to happen in their city where they are just enjoying time.

The app Open Table reports that reservations for the restaurants in the city are dropping by double digit percentages because people are very suddenly now not interested in coming out to dinner because of the presence of the law enforcement activity, which is meant, according to the President, to make people feel safer.

It seems the opposite is happening to a measurable extent.

Okay, so you said that they're unarmed.

They're hanging out by the Washington Mall and other areas like high profile areas, so they're not making arrests.

At this point, the National Guard is not making arrests.

You have the stepped up presence of federal law enforcement agencies.

It's all part of a complicated picture that's meant to demonstrate, you know, ramped up law enforcement activity of the National guardsmen of fatigues who are just basically standing there.

Then you have and I don't mean to mean that, I mean that's what they're doing.

Then you have the presence of federal law enforcement agencies such as ICE, wearing masks and not identifying themselves except by in some sort of insignia which may not include the name of the agency, setting up checkpoints on streets such as Fourteenth Street.

So imagine I'm trying to use an analog that you'd appreciate something maybe in the middle of Sunset Boulevard, right, high crime and sorry, not a high crime area, but certainly a high traffic, high tourist area where lots of young people go out at night on the weekends especially.

Okay, are they patrolling in other areas too, or really just in these high profile areas?

Well?

You know, there are parts of southern cal which are high crime areas.

Imagine if the show of force were merely at Hollywood.

And Vine, well that's turned into a high crime area.

But that's all other stories.

All right, But it doesn't solve the problem, does it.

Yeah?

Right, And so they're not in other areas.

They're really just kind of concentrated in areas where they're being.

Seen, as we can tell as best we can just discern it at this early stage.

It's only been a week since the President had his news conference in the briefing room and announced this stepped up, ramped up federal effort.

We have not seen or heard of patrols in what are routinely known as the higher crime, nitty gritty areas of the city.

Which is not to say that crime never happens in the high tourists just as you describe it Hollywood and Vine.

But nevertheless, when we think, and it may just be a stereotype, but it's also borne out by the statistics when we think of the high crime areas, you know, there are people who live in those areas who would love to see their streets.

That's not where this is because it's not where it's not where the media is focused.

It's not where the young professionals live.

And it seems as though for now a lot of what's gone on is in those areas that will attract the attention of the professional class and the press.

Okay, and then one other question for you before you go, Steve, I know you gotta head out.

Are they clearing out the homeless?

That wasn't that one of the goals.

They have cleared out homeless encampments.

What's going to come of the happy to those people?

Nobody knows.

The White House suggested that they'd be offered space and shelters, but the reporting has been that the shelters are already at capacity and that that was why people wound up on the street.

Otherwise they would be offered some sort of addiction treatment or they have just to go somewhere else, and so look, homelessness is a serious problem in the United States, and it's only going getting worse as rents get more expensive and people wind up falling on hard times, staying in extended stay hotels, or wind up being evicted and then have a black mark on their credit report, and then they can't properly rent an apartment for anyone who checks a credit rating, and it becomes hard And that's the case in the Southland, and it's the case in Washington, d C.

But here in DC there's all of a sudden no tolerance for the encampments, which are a blight and a quality of life concern.

The President is cleaning it up.

Okay, Steven Portnoy, thanks for the information.

We'll be checking in with you again.

You bet all right.

Two men from New York have been arrested for a home invasion robbery and Redondo Beach police were called early yesterday about someone pointing a gun at another person inside a car, but the caller hung up telling police where.

If you have an old Rolex sitting around, now might be a good time to sell it.

The market for used luxury time pieces has just had its best half year performance since early twenty twenty two.

Two watches that are in high demand are Rolex's Gold Daytona and Ptec Philip's Aquanat.

Never heard of them, probably because I cannot afford a Rolex in the first place.

New or used time to get in your business now with the Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzen Schwartzman, who's in We're Courtney all week Good morning, Dan.

Good morning, and I join you cannot afford a rolex or a pat sech fleep.

I can though, get you on those fifteen dollar rolex as though, if you want send it to you.

Oh yeah, my parents went to China one time and they brought me a fake rolex.

Yeah.

As long as there's a sweeping hand, it looks real.

You know.

That's the big that's the secret for it.

That's the tell.

Okay, good to know, Good to know.

So Dan, let's get in your business.

Foreigners once again liking the American real estate markets.

That's right, Amy, They are buying a lot of real estate in the US.

According to report by the National Association of Realtors, sales of existing US real estate to non citizens hit fifty six billion dollars in the year through March.

That's up thirty three percent from the same period the year before.

Now it's a first increase in eight years, Amy, But the numbers are still far below the peak that was back in twenty seventeen.

Okay, but we're still not buying houses.

So somebody's got to buy him, right.

You know what.

They're being built, and I don't know who can afford him.

Here but apparently people are buying him because they're building more and more so.

So going to one of the other big investments that people make.

If you want to lease a car right now, and EV maybe the way to go.

Yeah, it's your second biggest investment after your house is a car, and the EV makers as well as dealers are offering cheaper leases before losing federal tax credits valued up to seventy five hundred dollars, as well as to move current inventory.

According to Deadman's on average, EV leases are cheaper than gas powered cars.

The average EV lease right now six hundred and twenty four dollars a month, compared to six hundred and seventy dollars for gas cars and trucks.

For instance, Amy, you can get a Mercedes EQB SUV back in July for just over three hundred and fifty dollars a month.

Not bad.

Wow, that's not when you mentioned an average of six hundred and twenty.

I still it's just crazy that people are paying that much for cars.

It's insane.

I mean, the average car price I believe now for a new car is like forty eight thousand dollars.

You can't buy one of those company.

Remember like Kakhanda Civic used to be like seventeen thousand dollars, little two door non powered windows or anything.

Can't get those anymore, No one's building them.

Okay.

Air Canada still dealing with a labor strike in spite of their plans to start flying again.

Yeah, don't head to the airport right now if you have tickets for them.

More trouble as their flights remain grounded by that flight attendant strike.

Despite a back to work order from the government, the Canadian Labor Minister attempting to force an end to the walkout and impose binding arbitration to reach a new contract.

Now the union, though, has defied the order, with it not yet clear how exactly that order would be enforced.

Air Canada today amy's suspending its guidance through the end of this year due to that.

Strike, suspending suspending what till the end of the year.

They're guidance.

So usually they'll say, okay, so we forecast will make this much money in this much per share, And they can't do that because obviously this is hurting them, you know, significantly in the wallet.

So they can't tell us what they think their earnings are going to be because right now they're not really earning anything, just losing a ton of money every day that this work stoppage goes on.

And right now there's no end in sight unless you know, this government's trying to get involved in Right now, the Union saying now we're not going to listen.

To you, okay and take a can we take a quick look at what we're expecting in the markets as we start this week?

Well, right now, it's not looking tremendous.

Right now, the TAO is down twelve points, Nasdaq's down forty five points, SMP is down eight and a half points.

There's the angst about what's going to happen with Ukraine, the big meetings stay at the White House, as well as what the indications will be from the Fed in terms of interest rates, will they actually lower them in September?

So right now uncertainty at the markets heading into this week.

But still they're so high, like the Dow Jones is sitting over forty five thousand.

It we're sitting here going how like, you know, it's not like the economy is in that great shape, and yet the markets haven't exactly been in line because they continue to rise right then, as that hitting another record last week and the Dow as you said, forty five thousand smps, you know, closing in on sixty five hundred.

I mean, these numbers just keep rising.

Oh well, good for my four oh one k.

Thank you, Dan Schwartzman in for Courtney all week, getting in your business with Bloomberg.

We'll do it again tomorrow, absolutely all right, thanks Dan.

Ill let's say good morning too, kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, Who's been a very busy man buzzing around the globe.

First a trip to Alaska, now back to DC.

Morning, John, Hey, good morning to you.

Amy good to be back in Washington.

Big day in Washington, just a few days after the President's meeting with President Putin.

As you point out, I was in Alaska for that.

Now today I'll be in the Oval Office when the President meets with President Zelenski as well as other European leaders, the leaders of Germany, France, the UK, NATO, and the European Union.

The focus making certain that the United States is unified with the European approach to trying to end the war in Ukraine, which has been going on now since February of twenty twenty two.

Okay, So, John, after watching what happened in Alaska and then getting ready for today, what are some of your takeaways about what's been going on.

My main takeaway is that Amy, I believe the dynamic has changed since the President met with President Putin on Friday in Alaska.

Your America recall.

Leading up to that meeting, the President had a video conference with these same leaders that will be at the White House today, and it seemed as if everybody was unified, had the same approach to dealing with Russia.

Now it's a little different, and I think today's meeting is in some respects Amy.

Even more important than the President's meeting that he had on Friday with President Putin in Anchorage, Alaska.

It's important to see whether the US is still unified with the European approach, whether it still has Ukraine's back in terms of dealing with Russia, and whether or not the US is still insistent upon Russia making concessions, making concessions to bring about an end to this war.

Okay, we're hearing that two of the things that Trump is going to push Zelenski for is that you're not getting Crimea back and you're not going to be part of NATO.

That those are two of the big things that may possibly Putin may have agreed to a ceasefire or a peace deal if those two things happen.

Is that what you're hearing, Well, to me, it's a head scratcher.

Why should Russia, of all countries, dictate to NATO who should be members of NATO.

If NATO wants to have Sweden and Finland, for instance, the latest members to be added to the Defense Alliance, to be members of the NATO Defense Alliance, then that's what they want to do.

If they want to have I don't know I don't know.

I can't speak for all thirty two members of NATO, but if if there's unanimity in having Ukraine becoming a member of NATO, Russia should have no say in that whatsoever.

So to me, that's why this meeting is so important to hear what these European leaders, members of NATO, allies of the United States have to say about that particular idea, that particular concession that the president's speaking about.

Okay, and is Zelenski still saying we're not giving up anything because we've got what it's about.

Well, yes, twenty percent of the country that Russia.

Has ever say that, amy, I mean yeah, yeah, I mean, look, if you're a leader, you're not going to give something up before you've even had a conversation.

You're not going to go sheets something away.

So he has to say that publicly.

Now, I don't know if he's saying the same things behind closed doors.

I don't know if he's saying the same things, you know, when he's meeting in the Oval Office, when we're not there with President Trump and when you know European leaders are there.

But that's what he's saying publicly.

And also you know, look.

Russia didn't agree to a ceasefire.

That was something the President had been seeking when he was meeting with Putin on Friday, and the president, unfortunately, President Trump came away empty handed on that regard, and that's unfortunate.

The President said, if there's no ceasefire, there would be severe consequences for Russia, and we're not seeing that.

So, you know, I mean, if you're any leader, if you're President Obama and you talked about red lines and you don't do anything.

If you know, Siria jumps over those red lines.

And if you're President Trump and you you know, you threaten serious consequences and you don't follow through with that, then you know, leaders are adversaries, do not take those threats seriously.

Well, we'll have to be watching that.

And for the meeting in the Oval, you guys go in before they really sit down and hammer stuff out.

Right, that is correct.

It's at the very top of their meeting, that is correct.

So essentially we come in moments after the President has welcomed in whatever counterpart the President is welcoming.

And so that will be the case today when we are heading into the Oval office, when President Zelenski will already be sitting down right beside President Trump and the Oval Office.

Okay, and we'll be watching kfi's White House correspondent John Decker.

Thanks so much for your info and your insight.

We'll talk to you soon.

Thank you.

All right.
