"K two vision RLE. Thanks so much for joining us this evening. I'm Kim shepherd, and here's what's happening. President Biden says they are still trying to determine the validity of classified documents recently leaked online. He also said he's directing the military and intelligence communities to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information. More fuel for sound transit critics, a newly revealed construction problem that will likely delay the opening of the Seattle to Bellevue line, thousands of faulty concrete rail ties will have to be replaced. One of the many revelations of a leaked intelligence documents that were posted to Discord this week is that Russia's elite commando units are in dwindling supply. In fact, it could take years for Moscow to rebuild those forces. Alex Horton's covering this for The Washington Post and spoke with northwest news radios Taylor van Sykes. Alex throughout this war in Ukraine, it's been evident that Russia's own casualty reporting is way off the mark, but when you talk about rapid depletion of Russia's commando units, can you give us an idea of scale how many units may have been impacted or any solid numbers? Some of the late classified documents that we evaluated, they didn't really have big numbers for estimates of how many of their special operations soldiers were killed or wounded. But they did leave some clues. They talked about one brigade that was about 900 strong when they deployed and the documents say at a 125 of them were active when they got back home, which could mean killed, wounded, and any number of other things that could have happened. But that's a pretty large number when you're talking about highly trained, highly equipped soldiers that have a disproportionate effect on the battlefield if they're used correctly, but all the educations are they were not used in the way they're supposed to be. Right, because Spence for those that might not know or they're kind of like the Russian version of navy seals or green berets highly trained extremely specialized and usually leading clandestine missions, but how were they deployed in Ukraine? Yeah, that's right. And there's not a perfect metaphor or a comparison, but you're close there. Like, think of army rangers think green berets. They're supposed to be used. Reconnaissance missions, small team stuff, missions at night, secret stuff, maybe destabilization, sabotage. That kind of stuff. All the action hero things you think about when you think about special ops. But what they're used for actually in Ukraine is to compensate for the untrained motorized rifle soldiers for the Russian army has. So if you think about it in these terms, think about the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, it'd be like the same thing as putting green berets and rangers on a normal foot patrol to get in fights with Taliban regulators when they should be doing night missions. They should be doing raids, capturing high value targets, that sort of thing. They're fighting as regular infantry, which is not their task. So they're dying in large numbers because of that, which has a lot of cascading trickle down effects throughout the entire war. Right. I mean, everything from their intelligence gatherings stuff to just intelligence on the battlefield. They're tactical experience. Right. So you're losing when you put them in a role, they're not designed to be to be doing. You have that effect, right? They're not supposed to be fighting man to man. And then those units that are supposed to be fighting man to ban in the trenches or defending an area. Now they don't have the useful intelligence that those guys should be gathering. So they're crippling, not just the conventional units by depriving them of that valuable battlefield resource, but they are also these guys get killed or wounded. They lose all that training that goes into them. And they can't just flip on a switch and regenerate a hundred more Spence pass if a hundred get killed or wounded, right? You can't just take a guy off the street, take the whisky at bottle out of his hand and say, all right, you're a soldier. It's nuts. It's a lot more complicated than that. And it's going to take some time. Alex Wharton with us on northwest news radio reported for The Washington Post who's been covering this war in Ukraine and the lead up to it now for more than a year and a half at least, at least I would say. You can fight all of his work throughout this war in Ukraine online at Washington Post dot com. That's northwest news radio's Taylor van

"Kim shepherd talked with ABC's Alex stone about a Texas case. The find my phone app is a convenience that saved many wayward devices, but it's not as innocuous as you might think. A man in the Houston area learned that the hard way and ABC's Alex stone is joining us with his story, so Alex, this is one of those that seems kind of funny at first, but really there's a darker side, I guess this guy was really worried about his family's safety. Yeah, and still is right now. This is really crazy, so Scott Schuster is his name. He lives in Richmond a suburb of Houston and finally he reached out to our ABC affiliate in Houston because he had had enough. He said he had been trying to get apples attention and they haven't been really dealing with it. For the past couple of years, for a few months at a time, he says people show up banging on his front door because the Find My iPhone app that it's telling these people who are showing up that they're stolen or lost iPhones, AirPods, iPads, that they're inside of his home. All hours of the day and night that they're banging on his door, he gave examples from his ring doorbell camera. They sound like this. My brother Sloan is lost, and the last king location was right here. Well, the cops are on their way over here, so you may want to come talk to me before they come here. And he says it happens over and over again. Most who show up are very angry, understandably so. They say that they're calling the police and it can be two in the morning, three in the morning. He says he tells him the same thing. At the wake up and go answer the door and explain to them that I don't have their device and the people don't tend to believe you. He says he has no idea why Find My iPhone is pinging over and over again to his home. He's a software engineer. He says he doesn't get it. He's got some theories that he doesn't want to share, but he's adamant though it's all a big mistake and that he does worry about the safety of his family. He's got young kids. There's plenty of irrational people in the world that if they're angry, if they're drunk, if they have had a rough night and they lost their phone and thought it was stolen, that's my biggest concern. Someone come into the house, potentially with a weapon. And he says, he's called Apple support. He's messaged them. He filed a formal report. He says apple as a resolved at Appleton respond to requests for comment from our ABC affiliate. And he says, for those, and there are people who say he's lying, that he has a stash of iPhones in there. He says yeah, my neighbor's like the tease me that I'm the neighborhood iPhone and iPod. No, I mean, I don't go out much enough to do that. I work from home. A young children. I would just like it fixed. I think my kids will sleep more peacefully at night. So Googling the day to figure out, you know, is this something that goes on often, found a story that late last year in Denver? There was a grandmother who sued the city of Denver. They got a warrant and they executed the police warrant at her home because Find My iPhone was pinging that she had all this stolen Apple stuff in her home, she didn't have it. And it wasn't there. So 5 iPhone apparently does have some glitches in there and unfortunately for this guy. Everybody's showing up at his home demanding to get their iPhone. Well, and everybody's showing up and calling the cops. What a local police have to say about having to deal with all this. Yeah, I mean, he says he's told them, you know, look. They keep showing up here like, I don't have this stuff. He says there's some people who will never believe him, that they think he's running around and stealing it all and then hoarding it in his home. And that's why he says he's going public that he does want to try to figure this out. I mean, you know, if you've ever looked to Find My iPhone, you'll see it move around a little bit, you know, but usually it eventually hones in on whatever you're looking at. But apparently in this case, it is not correcting itself and who knows is it getting weird pings off of cell phone towers are those devices somewhere in his neighborhood and it's slightly off or not there at all? He doesn't really know, but he's saying he wants answers from Apple to figure out why people are being directed to his home and what is going on and at this point there's not a real good answer.

It's quick, easy, convenient, all the things. But one thing it typically isn't is healthy. According to a recent survey by the Cleveland clinic, almost half of Americans admit they buy fast food at least once a week. Registered dietitian Julia zampano says fast food provides very little nutrition. It is mostly made up of processed ingredients, including saturated fats, trans fats, and a lot of salt. Sometimes we can convince ourselves that some fast foods are healthy. There can be certainly choices that are more healthy than others. Zampano says if you need to turn to fast food, maybe try to limit how much you eat on a weekly basis. Also be mindful of what you are getting. I wouldn't classify

"A member of the state's sunshine committee is stepping down. Lawmakers come under more scrutiny for how they handle public records. The committee was created in 2007 to ensure the legislature was complying with the public records act. But attorney and now former committee member Kathy George says it feels like they've been spinning their wheels. And there's now the possibility that the committee could be disbanded altogether. Katherine joined northwest news radio's Kim shepherd to talk more about her decision and efforts to keep the public in the public records act. When the sunshine and committee was created, there were about 300 exemptions and since the sunshine committee has been in place, the number of exemptions has grown to more than 600. So that gives you an idea of the trend in the legislature towards more and more secrecy, but we do still have an overarching right to know in the public records act and the public private sect was passed by the voters, decades ago, and it was a very strong statement that the people control the governments and need to know how the government does business and how our government resources are used and how policies are developed. And so disclosure is supposed to be the rule with narrow exceptions and we do still have the core principles intact and we still have some very strong language in the public records act about the public's right to know taking precedence over government and convenience and embarrassment to public officials and that sort of thing. We still have that. But again, the number of exceptions to disclosure requirements just keeps growing and growing. And the importance of that to the public process, the fact that people need to be able to access information in order to support them being a part of the process. That's absolutely right. And before I was a lawyer, I was a journalist myself. And as a democracy, really depend, especially on the media having full and prompt access to government records because that's how most people learn about what's going on in government. You do have citizens who have the time and the motivation and the resources to track government themselves, but most people are going about their jobs and their daily lives and depend on the media to inform them about important policy issues, whether government programs are working as intended, and all of that. And as you probably know, as a journalist, it can be challenging the trend has been towards more and more secrecy. And the partisan divides have done nothing but grow deeper in recent years, something I think a lot of folks might not realize is that even politicians have to use public disclosure laws to get some information. What do we know about who is making public records requests at the state level? Is it largely the public and the media or are there entities that are taxing the system that are making legislators want to say, we need to climb down on this? Well, you know, the legislature took the position for many years that it was not subject to the public records act at all. A coalition of media companies sued and in 2019, the Washington Supreme Court said that legislators are subject to the public records act themselves. Their offices are agencies under the public records act just like cities and counties and school districts and so forth. So I do remember at the time that was unfolding the legislature passed a bill to exempted self from the public records act. And the public was just furious about that. There was a record number of calls and emails to the governor to veto that law, which the governor ultimately did. But going back to your question, who makes records requests? I think it depends on the agency with the legislature it's going to be lobbyists and constituents for the most part, right? Because they're solely a policy making body with agencies, it's going to be more citizens who are trying to address concerns about policies or programs. It's going to be the media. It's going to be a lawyer's lawyers actually account for a pretty healthy share of public records requests. I haven't seen any recent statistics, but I have read that. And then your citizen activists. I've heard people talk about records requests being weaponized. Is that something that is a true concern that really happens, or is that conjecture? There are a handful. I don't even know if you could say it's a handful. There are some. Not many occasions when public records requesters have overreached some years ago there was a particular requester who would make requests for all records of an agency every single record in the existence. That created as you can imagine quite a stir quite a problem. And then there are more recently has been concerned about a couple of requesters who bring an unusually large number of public records lawsuits, whether that's weaponizing, I guess, is in the eye of the beholder. All I can say is that in my experience working with journalists and working with citizens who have legitimate concerns about government, the public records act is a tool for democracy. It's not a weapon in the government should not perceive the public records act as a weapon. It should perceive the public records act as a core function of government that connects government to the people been allows them to be informed, participants, and as you mentioned, the voters approved the public disclosure act in 1972, it was a bipartisan group of senators who introduced the bill to create the sunshine committee and since then there have been hundreds of exemptions added to this law, so it sounds like they're having to police themselves basically, right? Because you have to get bills passed through the legislature in order to get them to police themselves. It just sounds like there should be an outside agency perhaps doing this work. Yeah, this was the first year that the legislature did not even introduce a bill to implement the sunshine committee recommendations. So you could say that it's a low point in the past three years, there were bills introduced that didn't pass. So it's been it's been quite a long drought. And this coincides with the legislature. I mentioned earlier that Supreme Court decision this drought coincides with the legislature of being subject to the public records act itself and there's just growing concern that the legislature just really isn't interested in improving transparency anymore and this session we have the new issue that legislators are claiming a constitutional privilege to withhold their own records from disclosure. So that's the

It took nearly a month for an auburn woman to come forward to turn in the one winning ticket in February $754 million Powerball drawing. More from northwest news radio's Ryan Harris. Becky bell is about to wrap up her 36 years at Boeing and she has the airplane maker to thank says Christy weeks with Washington's lottery because even though bell already had tickets for that Powerball draw, she went along when her daughter bought more tickets when the prize was $747 million as Boeing rolled out its final 7 47. And when she saw the jackpot number, she thought, well, that's a sign. So she decided to buy a few more dollars worth of Powerball tickets just quick pick and that's the ticket that won. That ticket also produced a separate $8 winner. Week says there was a few tears among Belle's family, but she's handled it like a champ. I didn't really see her get too emotional about it until all the paperwork was done and she had the money. And I think that's when it became real.

"Kim shepherd talked with ABC's Andy field about the case. The family of an American killed in a terror attack in Paris wants to sue Google for allegedly playing a role in radicalizing the attackers. ABC's Andy fields covering this as the case goes before the nation's highest court. And the family's argument here revolves around section two 30 of the communications decency act. So what does that say Well, it basically gives Internet companies blanket protection and liability protection against people suing them. So let's say you post something on Twitter or Facebook or YouTube and it's damaging to someone else, those companies run the place go, hey, we didn't put the stuff out there. You did. You can't sue us, go through the people that put it out there. That is the basis behind this, and it was created at the beginning of the Internet in large part to protect these companies and let the Internet expand. The problem is, things have changed dramatically since this law went into place many, many years ago. Primarily that places like Facebook and Twitter make money off things called algorithms. They look at the patterns that you have. This is why ads pop up when you look at something or you post something and you go, oh, that person might like something like this. It looks at that. And it starts throwing ads and other pieces of information your way that they hope can sell to you. So they can make money off the edge, but in large part so that you keep staying on the platform and reading things because they think you're interested in that. The parents of person killed by ISIS said, that's exactly what Google did with YouTube by using these algorithms to help radical lives for the people that killed their child. And so the Supreme Court heard these arguments today. And they were kind of skeptical about it. They said, yeah, we get it. We understand the algorithms are there, but still it's not YouTube's fault that these people were radicalized. They didn't put this material on there. So they seem skeptical that they were going to do anything to remove these protections from the Internet. But we'll see. A Washington state's attorney general is battling social media companies for the unchecked influence that they've been having on kids. Did we hear from any other parties chiming in on this case? No, not today. There are other cases coming up before the Supreme Court that are going to bring these things into light. But in the meantime, this could be a landmark case that could really overturn a whole lot of precedents that we're used to the kind of the wild wild west of the Internet. The justices also said that they fear that this could just open the door for endless lawsuits against companies and wouldn't make it so that some of these companies would have to shut down because they simply couldn't defend themselves against them all. Now, Congress is already talking about taking some kind of action to fix this situation anyhow. They are, but it hasn't gone anywhere so far. And it's interesting that both sides wanted for different reasons. Republicans say, yeah, we want to get rid of this rule protecting the social media companies because we think those social media companies discriminate against conservatives. And then of course, Democrats are on the flip side of that saying that they're not being restrictive enough against some of these people that they think are dangerous on there. When do we expect to hear a decision from the Supreme Court? Typically, they make the decisions sometime in June, July toward the end of their session. So it'll be a few months before we hear anything. Unless, of course, a decision leaks like the roe versus wade decision link last time, but I think they've tried to take their security on that.

"News radio 1000 FM 97 7 you're information station. Some eye opening text from Fox host involving what they really thought about claims that the presidential election was stolen. Northwest news radios Kim shepherd talked with ABC's and when to get the latest. Revelations are coming out on the defamation lawsuit brought by dominion voting systems against Fox News, ABC's M wins on the northwest news line, and defamation lawsuits are historically really difficult to prove, but in this case, it sounds like they might have some pretty pointed evidence. Yeah, certainly defamation cases are generally hard to win, but there are hundreds of pages in these court documents that lay out evidence to show that Fox stars were preaching conspiracy theories in favor of the former president, trying to also boost ratings without much fact checking, despite what, of course, dominion voting system says could harm their company. So this new core filing is really bombshell because it reveals the inner workings that Fox News. It's about 200 pages long. It's a part of this $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, and it just has dozens of examples cited in the documents. It just lists one after the other examples of both Fox News anchors and producers privately acknowledging that the former president and his allies and the allegations of the election broad were just false, despite their network promoting those claims on their shows. Do we have any specific correlations between the text messages and other behind the scenes communications and what these hosts were saying on the air? On the air, we've heard time and time again around the time of November that the dominion voting systems were rigged to possibly change votes in favor of Joe Biden changed them from Trump to Biden. And we heard that time and time again on the network, but we especially heard that from someone named Sidney Powell if you remember she's one of Trump's attorneys who were on the show continuously, very often pushing election denialism. We've heard from Tucker Carlson at least in this document saying and texting to producers that he felt she was lying. He also went on to say their quote wasn't enough fraud to change the outcome of the election, even went on January 6th later on to say that Trump was a quote destroyer. We also heard from Laura Ingraham in this document apparently telling Hannity and Carlson that Sidney Powell, again, that attorney was a bit quote nuts. Time and time again, there's just Fox News anchors and stars, and even producers behind the scenes, just continuously saying that these allegations were nonsense. So what would happen when those folks would say we should fact check this? They ignored or were they reprimanded? So we've heard of some examples in this document that some people who would speak out if they weren't large stars. They would immediately have to take down the tweet that would immediately stay quiet about what they were saying, whether or not they were fact checking. There were some producers who continuously had to fact check. And yet they were called out by some anchors as well. So there was a climate in Fox News at this time. It appears in these documents that showed that those who wanted to speak out just weren't listened to. Has Fox responded to this yet. Yeah, certainly. So we've heard from Fox a few times. They've said one, they're proud of the 2020 election coverage. They called the lawsuit baseless, and they said that the core of this lawsuit remains centered around the idea of constitutional rights of freedom of the press, freedom of speech, they've also said in another claim that they were questioning the damage amount of $1.6 billion saying that they believed dominion's value as a business can't be anywhere near $1.6 billion.

I'm going to check with you on firearms proposals. Our proposed Lend ban or on potentially semi-automatic dangerous weapons crimes to qualify for situations where a chase is allowed. It would also change the rule, so an officer would only have to inform a supervisor about a chase. Opponents of house bill 1363 though say the limits on police chases were put into law in the first place to make communities safer by stopping dangerous pursuits when they're out always necessary.

When Democrat voted against the bill, while the other members from both parties voted in favor. Smoking a tough habit to kick for so many, now researchers at WSU say they've discovered how CBD can help. CBD as you may know is a non psychoactive component of cannabis. For years now, people have used it to reduce inflammation or help with body aches and pains. Researchers at Washington state university say they have found another use for CBD to help people quit smoking. Turns out, as doctor Philip Lazarus tells me, they discovered CBD can help slow a key enzyme that metabolizes nicotine. Smokers. Why do they light up another cigarette? A half hour after the one that they just had. Sometimes they even light it up right after it's chainsmokers, right? The reason is because nicotine gets metabolized fairly quickly in the body. Lazarus says by keeping nicotine in the body longer, it will help keep smokers from reaching for another cigarette, which could hopefully lead to quitting. So far, the work has been done in the lab, but researchers are working toward eventually doing clinical studies with smokers.

"Now that though that will flip and the world will never be the same. Other news out of Hollywood today, Ryan Seacrest is leaving live with Kelly and Ryan after 6 years. Yeah, I think a lot of people who've been watching him do this for so long have wondered how he's been able to do it and keep up the schedule, doing that, doing his radio show, also doing American Idol, flying back and forth between the West Coast and the east coast. He was only supposed to do it for three years, but the show worked and the ratings had been great last year. They were the third most watched daytime television show. And so they wanted to keep that going and keep that momentum going for as long as possible, but there comes a time where you just can't do everything. So this will be his last season, he'll be out in spring and Mark consuelos, Kelly ripa's husband will be the one who takes over. Which she said it'll be something like one of the weirdest experiments on television is having the two of them co host that show together every morning. Now my favorite story of the day is coming from Rolling Stone. They are out with their list of the 50 most horrible albums by brilliant artists and I was looking through this. It seemed like a lot of these albums were released when the artists had already passed their prime. And so since Kanye West's album is taking the top spot, can we draw any conclusions from that? Yeah, I mean, that's kind of what they say here in when they're talking about this list. And Kanye West his album, Ye from 2018, taking the top spot, the number one worst album by a brilliant artist. They say basically that there have been worse albums, at least in my opinion, and I think some others, Jesus is king donda, were lower moments, but this 2018 album, quote, marks the beginning of the most disastrous artistic and personal collapse in the history of popular music, and you can point to that time to say that's when all the problems that we've seen that have ramped up over the last year, especially. A lot of that started in 2018. It's kind of hard to argue with that. The album itself, I think, is just something like 23 minutes long. There's not a lot of songs. And there are not a lot of great songs on there. Were there any albums on this list that surprised you that you thought didn't belong there? Not really, honestly, they're pointing to a lot of artists who have long bodies of work, right? And so in that within that, whether you're a filmmaker or you're an author or you're a painter or whatever, you're going to produce a dud here and there. And a lot of them Elton John has one of them is album, leather jackets from 1986. They put that at number 13 when Elton John was in the midst of a very serious cocaine addiction. And this is similar for a lot of the albums, whether it's drugs or just pure exhaustion. But so many of these bad albums came at a point where the artists were just stretched to the max. There's nothing really, at least so far as I see, that's glaring on there that shouldn't be on there. ABC's Jason nathanson on the northwest news line. And that's northwest news radios Kim shepherd

"Tracking down on hidden fees northwestern is radios Kim shepherd talked with ABC's Alex stone about the proposed legislation. Junk fees are getting a lot of attention these days, with President Biden calling for Congress to crack down. But some California lawmakers don't want to wait for Congress to act, they are taking matters into their own hands. ABC's Alex stone is on the northwest news line. And it sounds like this proposal would cover a long list of hidden charges. Very long-lasting. This is a pet peeve for so many Americans. You book a hotel room, let's say it's a 190 bucks a night, but then you find out there's a $35 a night resort fee and often you're not even at a hotel that you would consider to be a resort. The more they call them a destination fee or an amenity fee or a city fee, they're getting really creative with the names. And that fee the hotel will tell you, well, that pays for Internet or bottled water or a surfboard or a bicycle rental. I was in Spokane a couple of months ago. And it was, I think, 35 bucks a night for bicycle rental. If I wanted a bicycle rental, I would pay for a bicycle riddle. I don't want to be too charged for that. And I never even saw any bicycle rentals that were anywhere around there. So California says it's taking action, not just for hotels, but car rentals, all the fees on those buying food online ordering food online, concert tickets, all the fees on your cell phone bill that they add on and the attorney general rub on to hear saying. But it's more than just a nuisance. It's also deceptive. There's no reason for hidden fees. Other than to lure in potential customers with prices that are simply not true. The price is advertised, should be the price you pay, plan and simple. And so Democrats in the state Senate, they're introducing a bill now that would make all those add on fees have to be included in the price of your quoted at the beginning and they say their ultimate goal would be to then companies would get rid of all those fees, but in the meantime they're saying, look, it doesn't really matter as long as you are quoted that extra fee in the price upfront. They say, look, this is bait and switch. It is, they claim deceptive and advertising. The attorney general calling out certain hotel companies, Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, all of them, Sundar Bill Dodds, and true debate switch on price. A business calling something a fee when it's really required to get a product or service. Now the other thing cam, the lawmakers say that they're hoping will happen in California 40 million residents fourth largest economy in the world of California where its own country that they're hoping that whatever gets passed here in California, it will then impact the rest of the nation. Like what we see with environmental laws when it comes to what automakers have to do. They can't make one car for California yet another one for everybody else. So then everybody has California's emissions laws. So they're hoping if this is a law in California that they would have to do it everywhere. And I should mention we reached out to a bunch of hotel chains, Hilton was the only one that got back to us through the American hotel and lodging association. They say these fees go to pay for the wages and benefits of employees, they claim only 6% of hotels nationwide charge a mandatory resort destination, amenity fee. I seem to be finding all of them just like me too. But they say it's only 6% the state is saying, fine. Everybody who advertises in California will have to show minus government taxes what that final price is. You know, rental cars, it's incredible. When you get a rental car especially from an airport, the long list of fees, it will be $35 a day, and then another $70 a day in fees and taxes or a concert ticket when you get to the end of it. If you tell me that concert ticket is a $150, they better be a $150 when you get to the end. Yeah, or how about my Uber eats order that's 15 bucks for my lunch, but then they charge me $5 Moderation

"And comes as the fed board is trying to cool consumer spending and tame inflation by raising interest rates. The board is weighing another rate hike after its March meeting. Michelle Franz and ABC News. President Biden is making some changes on his economic team, northwest news radios Kim shepherd talk with ABC's and win about what is prompting the moves. President Biden announcing a shake up of his economic team at The White House today. On the northwest news line and these changes are coming after the latest report on inflation, was that one of the factors that came into play here? Well, certainly the president had been thinking about this for quite some time. It appears he is lining up and you economic team to beat away recession fears ahead of a potential reelection bid. And this time his team is taking a new shape midway through his first term. So certainly there's a number of people who are going to be coming in to his team. One of them is going to be the policy veteran lael brainer who served the will serve as the director of the national economic council, remember she was also previously the number two at the Federal Reserve who was one of the people pushing for higher interest rates. And with lael leaving the Federal Reserve, how do they expect that hole to be filled? Right, so Brandon's new role in this sense will help shape the economic policies of the executive branch. But now that she's leaving the fed, her voice will depart the fed as well. So that really might create some uncertainty as to what the fed will want to do, especially come this summer as we are expecting in the months to come to see more rate increases, especially amid stubbornly high inflation rates. You know, she was someone who, again, argued for higher interest rates at the Federal Reserve to cool inflation. She was also known to be very meticulous and thorough in terms of preparations. She was also an expertise in global economics. So her leaving the fed will create a hole and likely that hole will not be filled for months. But it also gives the president not only one more person on his team at The White House, but an opportunity to nominate someone else to fill her position at the fed. Now, Biden has been continuing to talk about the success of the inflation reduction act while Republicans continue talking about unnecessary spending and the deficit. So how are conservative members of Congress reacting to the changes that were announced today? Well, certainly this is going to be an interesting conversation moving forward because with brainer coming into The White House, she's going to have a lot on her plate. That's going to include the conversation about raising the debt limit. Of course, right now it's a standoff between The White House and Republicans and she's going to have to try to navigate that conversation moving forward because as you know many economists have said, if we get to the point which the nation will default, then that will be an economic catastrophe for the entire nation. So certainly she's going to play a big role in the conversation of the debt limit as well as making sure to implement the infrastructure packages in the past for the administration, such as semiconductor investments as well. So she's going to play a big role in making sure that Republicans and The White House can actually get to a deal in the next few months. So she'll play a big role there. But that also goes into why the president is on the road right now. He's in Maryland today. Also talking to union workers touting his administration's economic agenda and he's trying to draw these contrasts between him and the GOP's budget plans. So certainly this economic conversation is going to be big in the next few weeks. ABC's M Nguyen from The White House on the northwest news line.

"Sponsored by K two vision RLE. The afternoon news we thank you for joining us our editor Ryan Harris. I'm Rick fanci with Kim shepherd. A Senate hearing today on recent close calls at airports around the country, and last month's failure of the notam system that led to a nationwide ground stop. ABC's Andy field has been keeping close tabs on this one. And in a case of perfect timing, we just had a fourth near miss in Honolulu. Yeah, this is not a good thing. If you know anything about aviation, one of the most important things is to avoid ground incursions is what they call them. That's why they have a whole separate control system just for planes on the ground in major airports so that planes taxing the pilot doesn't have a very good overall view of everything. You can only see what's pretty close to him there and these runways in the systems are fairly big. So you don't make a move on a runway without getting permission from someone sitting high above the runway to make sure no one else is coming in to land on top of you or you're going to crash into them. And that's almost what happened in Honolulu, not to long ago, Boeing's 7 77 united and assessment came within a thousand feet of each other with the larger plane cross the same runway where the cessna was landing. Now, we don't have all the details on this, but this is something that the ground controllers are supposed to absolutely make sure it doesn't happen. I did a story on this a number of years ago that near misses where planes are landing on active runways and they don't see it until the very end where a plane may just taxi onto that runway and they're about to come down crashing right on top of it. They have to rev the engines and go back and go around there. It happens more often than you would think. These are the only ones that have been reported. So that is a very serious problem, which means that there may be a systemic problem that the FAA has to look into. They're going to have a conference next month and then they have set up a special committee to look into this here. One of the big problems with the FAA right now is that they don't have a confirmed director. There's been someone kind of sitting in the wings for quite some time, but the Senate hasn't confirmed him yet. So there is kind of a lack of leadership here. Now, a lot of Republicans are blaming Pete Buttigieg. He's the head of the transportation department, but he's the head of a whole lot of departments not just the FAA. And he doesn't get into the micromanaging. He's not sitting in the control tower doing these things. These are paid professionals who may need some retraining or they may need to change the system a bit. Now, the FAA you mentioned does not have that permanent director, but the president did forward a nomination. So where does that stand? Are they going to get on it? He's the chief executive of Denver international. He was put in last July, but for some reason, hasn't received a confirmation vote. Remember, in the Senate, you need the 60 vote supermajority. It can't just be a simple majority in the Senate, which the Democrats have, I think, two votes. So that's the Republicans why they haven't confirmed them yet. We don't have an answer on that. What about the notam system failure? Did we learn more about that today? It's called notice to airmen. It was a computer system failure that basically tells pilots what the weather's like. We're delays are. We're runways or having problems. That particular computer had a failure. We've had a whole bunch of explanations on it, but the most benign was is that someone pulled the wrong plug at one point and the whole system went down. And that created nationwide ground stops. That's not supposed to happen. And in fact, I can't remember the last time it did happen. So there does seem to be some serious problems in the FAA and they're looking into trying to make sure they're fixed. Look, we take a lot of things in aviation for granted. We also know that there have been tremendous cost cutting across the board in the industry here. Is that causing some of these issues? We don't know yet, but this FAA summit is going to look into all of this and try to get some answers and try to fix them
