00:00:40.120 Multiple injuries following a terrifying attack on a pro-Israel gathering in a Colorado park.
00:00:46.000 Next thing I know, they're coming across to the center divide where we are
00:00:50.440 with the flagpole and starts hitting me.

00:01:10.180 Among Democrats and Democratic leaners, 32% say Democrats are the party with strong leaders.
00:01:16.020 I mean, of their own kind, right?
00:01:18.080 82% of Republican and Republican leaders say that about the GOP.
00:01:21.440 A new poll shows Democrats have low opinions of their own party.
00:01:25.980 And week four of the Sean Diddy Combs trial expected to kick off with more testimony from alleged victim, Mia.
00:01:32.480 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:01:35.440 Are you a yo-yo dieter?
00:01:40.760 You diet, lose weight, then you gain it all back plus a few.
00:01:44.300 Then later you lose it again and the same cycle continues.
00:01:47.240 Well, that can be dangerous.
00:01:48.700 Studies show that this could actually increase health problems
00:01:51.100 and breaking free of this yo-yo diet pattern is not easy.
00:01:54.980 But it's why doctors created Lean. 0.97
00:01:57.640 Lean is a supplement and you don't need a prescription.
00:02:00.860 Lean includes natural ingredients targeting weight loss in three powerful ways.
00:02:04.800 It's maintaining healthy blood sugar, controlling appetite and cravings,
00:02:08.320 and it helps burn fat by converting fat into energy.
00:02:11.600 Listen, if you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back

00:02:31.420 On Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, police responding to a Molotov cocktail attack
00:02:39.720 on a pro-Israel group marching to support the hostages being kept by Hamas in Gaza.
00:02:45.940 Run for Their Lives holds weekly gatherings to show solidarity with and raise awareness for
00:02:50.740 the Israeli hostages.
00:02:52.440 An event organizer, Mimi Kornfeld, telling Nine News when the group arrived at the meeting place,
00:02:57.500 a man was waiting there, armed with bottles ready to ignite.
00:03:01.920 Video on social media shows the alleged suspect pacing around, appearing to shout,
00:03:06.800 end Zionists, and Palestine is free. 0.98
00:03:10.380 On the ground around him, some flaming puddles and two groups of people surrounding already
00:03:15.260 injured victims on the ground.
00:03:17.420 One eyewitness claiming on X around six people were burned.
00:03:20.980 FBI Director Kash Patel writing on X, quote,
00:03:24.400 We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado.
00:03:29.920 Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates
00:03:33.760 as more information becomes available.
00:03:35.840 Democrat Governor of Colorado Jared Polis writing on X, quote,
00:03:39.320 I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have
00:03:44.420 been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror.
00:03:48.360 Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable.
00:03:51.840 Police Chief Stephen Redfern, unlike the FBI, declining to call the incident a terror attack
00:03:57.820 during his initial briefings on Sunday night.
00:04:00.760 Also saying it's too early to declare a motive, notwithstanding the suspect reportedly calling
00:04:06.620 for death to Zionists as he tossed the firebombs. 1.00
00:04:11.120 So I've been in contact with our local FBI multiple times.
00:04:14.420 We are in contact with them here.
00:04:15.960 We are not calling it a terror attack at this point.
00:04:17.960 Again, it's way too early to speculate motive.
00:04:20.940 You know, I know there's a lot out there on social media, but I ask people just to give
00:04:23.740 us a little bit of patience while we work through a really complex scene.
00:04:27.600 Chief Redfern confirming the suspect, who law enforcement has named to the New York Post
00:04:31.980 as Mohammed Suleiman, is in custody, also saying there are multiple victims in the hospital
00:04:37.580 with injuries varying from minor to life-threatening.
00:04:41.080 In the past six weeks, we have seen the Jewish Pennsylvania governor's mansion burned by a man
00:04:47.080 citing the governor's pro-Israel statements, two Israeli embassy staffers shot and killed
00:04:52.820 outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. by a man shouting,
00:04:57.000 free, free Palestine, and now this, not to mention the explosion of anti-Semitism
00:05:02.440 on college campuses.
00:05:04.320 We will continue to monitor this story.
00:05:08.300 The California State Championship track meet on Saturday ending with some very crowded podiums
00:05:14.080 in the girls' high jump, long jump, and triple jump events following a rule change after President
00:05:19.600 Trump threatened to pull federal funding from the state for allowing boys to compete in girls' sports.
00:05:24.360 Last Tuesday, Mr. Trump issuing the message to California Governor Gavin Newsom on social media
00:05:29.580 with male athlete A.B. Hernandez dominating multiple events throughout the spring.
00:05:35.060 Later that same day, the California Interscholastic Federation, or CIF, announcing new rule changes
00:05:41.340 allowing female athletes who were bumped out of qualifying for states due to A.B. Hernandez's
00:05:46.800 or any other male athlete's participation to also advance to the finals.
00:05:50.820 Then on Wednesday, CIF announcing any female in the state championship who missed out on
00:05:56.140 a medal because of Hernandez would be bumped up one spot on the podium.
00:06:00.860 At the Saturday meet, Hernandez taking first place in the girls' triple jump with 42 feet,
00:06:06.000 two and three quarters inches.
00:06:07.820 Under the new rule, the actual winner of the girls' event, Kira Gant Hatcher, forced to share 0.95
00:06:13.620 the first place spot with Hernandez after Hatcher jumped 40 feet and five inches.
00:06:19.000 In the high jump, two female athletes forced to share the top podium again with Hernandez. 1.00
00:06:25.280 All three jumped five feet, seven inches.
00:06:28.480 Hernandez taking second in the long jump.
00:06:31.160 Lauren Webster winning that event with 21 feet and a quarter inch. 1.00
00:06:35.500 Hernandez at 20 feet, eight and three quarter inches, winning second and sharing the second
00:06:42.180 place podium with Brooke White, who was the actual second place winner who jumped 19 feet, 0.84
00:06:47.300 four and one quarter inches. Confused yet? So are we.
00:06:51.460 Hernandez's mother releasing a statement Friday about the controversy, stating in part, quote,
00:06:55.760 I see my child being attacked not for wrongdoing, but simply for being who they are.
00:07:01.280 My child has competed fairly in full compliance with California law and athletic policy.
00:07:08.560 Hernandez's participation sparking protests around the meet.
00:07:11.880 On Friday, according to Fox News, dozens of concerned parents rallying outside the stadium,
00:07:16.900 holding signs reading, Save Girls Sports, California Follow the Law, and XX Does Not Equal XY,
00:07:24.600 a reference to female and male biological chromosomes.
00:07:28.560 A plane flying over the stadium with a banner reading, No Boys in Girls Sports.
00:07:33.720 Conservative activist Josh Fulfer allegedly assaulted by a counter-protester as he left the meet.
00:07:39.280 Fulfer describing the attack to a local CBS station.
00:07:42.300 I pulled up to that same corner to come home and there was someone with a flag.
00:07:48.580 And so I look over, it was someone with a transgender flag. They were wearing
00:07:52.180 a black face mask, black light glasses, a black hoodie. It was 94 degrees out today.
00:07:58.420 And they said something to me. And I said, I said, why are you so embarrassed to show your face?
00:08:03.780 You know, take off the mask. And next thing I know, they're coming across to the center divide where
00:08:10.060 we are with the flagpole and starts hitting me. I had my wife and my four-year-old son in the backseat.
00:08:18.420 My wife was actually the one that yelled, spray them. And my son was actually crying in the backseat.
00:08:24.560 He was upset and obviously a little terrified of what he's seen.
00:08:28.240 About after five, six hits, I was able to get my pepper spray and pepper spray them. And that
00:08:34.420 got them at least down a little bit. And then they started hitting the outside of the vehicle.
00:08:40.640 I ran the red light, got to a safe area, pulled over. When I turned around, I seen Clovis PD
00:08:47.160 already going towards the scene and the situation and taking that person into custody.
00:08:52.040 Police arresting 19-year-old Ethan Kroll at the scene. Prior to the altercation,
00:08:57.280 Fox 26 News asking Kroll why he showed up to counter-protest.
00:09:01.600 All right, let me get your name and spelling of your name.
00:09:04.320 Not going to identify, but yeah.
00:09:08.160 And can you tell me how to put your title out here today? Who are you representing?
00:09:13.060 Um, honestly, just my trans folk, queer folk, um, gay folk, um, all the struggling people 1.00
00:09:23.100 out there, you know, um, free Palestine, um, all that. It says a lot that we can't be erased.
00:09:31.000 Um, and you're all the way out here. That's, that's awesome. It shows that all their BS that
00:09:37.260 they stand for doesn't really work. You can't erase us. You can't stop us. Um, you can try,
00:09:43.060 but we're always going to be here. So if you're a Nazi or complicit, I mean,
00:09:51.800 f*** off, really. There's nothing else to say to that.
00:09:54.680 Authorities arresting Kroll on charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon,
00:09:58.420 vandalism, and obstructing an officer. Kroll was released from jail the following day after
00:10:03.000 posting bail. CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday resurrecting a 2024 campaign boogeyman,
00:10:10.940 the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. As part of the project, the Heritage Foundation published an
00:10:16.980 over 900 page document that outlines policy goals and objectives for conservatives to pursue,
00:10:23.320 including prioritizing family values, dismantling the administrative state,
00:10:27.560 and enforcing our laws at the border. Ahead of the 2024 election, Democrats seizing on the document
00:10:32.900 as evidence of a far right plot, calling it a roadmap to authoritarianism and warning that Trump
00:10:38.940 allies plan to gut democratic institutions if he were to win a second term.
00:10:43.900 Project 2025 is a MAGA world manifesto and a vision of implementing a startlingly authoritarian
00:10:51.760 form of the U.S. government. It's the most well-funded and expansive effort that we've ever seen from the
00:10:57.660 conservative movement to overhaul the federal government. It is a scary plan. It is a dangerous one.
00:11:03.360 Then candidate Trump repeatedly distancing himself from the blueprint, saying he knew nothing about it.
00:11:08.040 Bash on Sunday questioning director of the Office of Management and Budget,
00:11:12.920 Ross Vogt, who is listed as a co-author of the Heritage Foundation's publication.
00:11:17.580 One of the things that you have become known for is that you were one of the architects
00:11:23.160 of Project 2025.
00:11:24.580 I just want to show our viewers just some of what was on your checklist. A lot of them have been
00:11:30.840 checked off from Project 2025. There are others that are kind of in the pipeline, including
00:11:37.060 ending funding for PBS and PR and many other things. Is it fair to say that what you are doing now is,
00:11:44.740 in part, enacting this very document that you and your colleagues worked very hard on, Project 2025?
00:11:51.600 No, of course not. The only people that are delusional about whether the president is the
00:11:56.640 architect, the visionary, the originator of his own agenda that he was very public about
00:12:02.560 throughout the campaign, in which you are seeing him in rapid fashion go through and accomplish,
00:12:08.040 are his adversaries.
00:12:09.900 Elsewhere on the corporate media Sunday show dial, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant firing back at CBS host
00:12:16.040 Margaret Brennan over a question about anticipated price increases.
00:12:19.660 We wanted to make sure that there aren't price increases, Margaret, and thus far there have been
00:12:23.980 no price increases. Everything has been alarmist, that the inflation numbers are actually dropping.
00:12:30.260 We saw the first drop of inflation in four years. The inflation numbers last week were very pro-consumer.
00:12:38.760 Right. But you listen to earnings calls just like we do. You know what Walmart's saying,
00:12:43.460 what Best Buy's saying, and what Target are saying.
00:12:45.300 But Margaret, I also know what Home Depot and Amazon are saying. I know what the South China
00:12:49.980 Morning Post wrote within the past 24 hours, that 65 percent, 65 percent of the tariffs will likely be
00:12:59.440 eaten by the Chinese producers.
00:13:01.880 Last week, the Consumer Price Index showing that in April, inflation dropped to 2.3 percent,
00:13:07.440 the lowest level since February 2021.
00:13:09.760 Coming up, a new CNN poll shows Democrats are in need of a confidence boost.
00:13:16.520 And alleged victim of Sean Diddy Combs, Mia, set to take the stand for her third day of testimony in the mogul's criminal trial.
00:13:24.480 I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile.
00:13:31.160 They support Americans who believe that faith, family, and freedom are worth fighting for.
00:13:35.620 But did you know that they have got cutting-edge technology, too?
00:13:39.060 Switching is easy. No store visits, no hassle.
00:13:41.900 Keep your number, keep your phone if you want, or you can upgrade.
00:13:44.820 Their 100 percent U.S.-based team can activate your phone in minutes right over the phone.
00:13:50.560 Patriot Mobile is one of the few carriers with access to all three major U.S. networks.
00:13:56.160 And that means exceptional nationwide coverage.
00:13:58.580 Plus, they can even put a second number on a different network on one phone.
00:14:03.180 It's like carrying two phones in one.
00:14:05.420 They have unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet on-the-go devices, and more.
00:14:11.800 You can't get all this from those big guys.
00:14:13.900 So consider making the switch today and experience the Patriot Mobile difference.

00:14:35.100 A new CNN poll spelling trouble for Democrats.
00:14:41.160 Forty percent of Americans believe Republicans are the party of strong leaders, compared to just 16 percent saying that about Democrats.
00:14:49.380 Thirty-six percent of Americans view the Republicans as the party that gets things done, compared to just 19 percent choosing Democrats.
00:14:56.880 And Republicans are viewed as the party of change by 32 percent of Americans, compared to 25 percent who say the same about Dems.
00:15:04.260 When the answers are broken down, according to party, it appears Dems are having a crisis of confidence.
00:15:10.400 CNN's Washington bureau chief breaking it down.
00:15:13.500 This, I think, is the most fascinating.
00:15:16.180 How do partisans talk about their own party?
00:15:19.660 So among Democrats and Democratic leaners, 32 percent say Democrats are the party with strong leaders.
00:15:27.000 I mean, of their own kind, right?
00:15:29.080 82 percent of Republican and Republican leaders say that about the GOP.
00:15:32.980 Only 41 percent of Democrats say they're the party that gets things done of their own kind.
00:15:38.100 And I will just say, 51 percent, Manu, a majority of Democratic and Democratic leaners say neither party gets the party that gets things done attribute.
00:15:47.360 Imagine, that is the whole, that's the project that Democrats are working on.
00:15:51.520 Political analyst Amy Walter on CNN on why she thinks Democrats are struggling in the wake of the 2024 election.
00:15:58.120 I think it speaks to a bigger challenge for Democrats.
00:16:00.980 They have spent the last eight years being the party that is the anti-Trump party.
00:16:06.060 They haven't been the party that is the pro-fill-in-the-blank party.
00:16:10.720 So they've been very much defined by Donald Trump, not defined by what they want to be.
00:16:20.820 Week four of the Sean Diddy Combs trial kicking off today with more testimony expected from Mia, a pseudonym for a former assistant and alleged victim of Combs.
00:16:30.860 On Friday, the jury hearing a second day of testimony from Mia describing years of grueling schedules, verbal abuse and threats, as well as multiple sexual assaults perpetrated against her, she says, by Combs.
00:16:43.860 Mia describing a time when she was in South Africa with star witness Cassie Ventura.
00:16:48.720 Ventura had just discovered Combs was cheating on her and she stopped taking his calls. 0.99
00:16:53.360 Mia describing the repeated calls and texts she received from Combs demanding to be put in contact with Ventura.
00:16:59.360 Mia testifying she felt she could not leave her job with Combs, quote,
00:17:03.540 He would have destroyed my reputation. I was scared of him.
00:17:07.260 Eventually, Mia did leave in 2017 when Combs shut down Revolt Films.
00:17:12.660 In 2023, after Ventura filed her civil suit against Combs, Mia attesting that Combs' security guard, DRock, reached out to her on multiple occasions, trying to get her to contact Combs.
00:17:23.780 Mia testifying she rejected the requests.
00:17:25.960 At one point, receiving a call from Combs and throwing her phone, quote,
00:17:30.300 As far as it would go.
00:17:32.040 At another point, DRock asking Mia for her address.
00:17:35.400 Mia testifying she believed DRock was trying to give her money.
00:17:39.360 On cross-examination, attorney Brian Steele using photos from Mia's social media to contradict allegations of abuse.
00:17:45.680 One October 2013 photo showing Combs at a coffee shop with the caption, quote,
00:17:51.380 Just the number one guy on the Forbes list getting me a vanilla latte.
00:17:55.640 No big deal.
00:17:57.120 Steele suggesting Mia could have reached out to family or friends if she actually wanted help.
00:18:01.460 Mia responding, quote,
00:18:02.380 No, there was absolutely no time and I had to get permission to leave or do things.
00:18:07.580 I had to beg to go to my grandma's funeral.
00:18:10.240 Steele asking why Mia would do things for Combs like make a scrapbook for his birthday if she was enduring so much trauma.
00:18:17.080 Mia responding, quote,
00:18:18.020 Mia is expected to return to the stand today for cross-examination.
00:18:34.620 Prosecutors saying last week they are ahead of schedule and expect to wrap up by mid-June.
00:18:39.760 Combs' defense attorney, Mark Agnifolo, saying the defense may actually take more time than anticipated,
00:18:45.480 predicting the trial may run to the beginning of July.
00:18:49.740 And that'll do it for your AM update.
