COMING UP —
WE NOW HAVE ANSWERS IN THE CASE OF THE MISSING SUBMARINE THAT CAPTIVATED THE NEWS CYCLE THIS WEEK.
OFFICIALS SAY THE FIVE PASSENGERS ARE DEAD — POINTING TO AN IMPLOSION.
AND —
THIS WEEKEND MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED ROE VERSUS WADE.
WHAT ROLE ABORTION RIGHTS IS EXPECTED TO TAKE IN NEXT YEAR’S ELECTION.
THE RUNDOWN STARTS NOW.
THIS IS STRAIGHT-ARROW NEWS.
BRINGING YOU UNBIASED, STRAIGHT FACTS.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
I’M KARAH RUCKER.
THE SUBMARINE SAGA HAS ENDED IN TRAGEDY.
OFFICIALS — CONFIRMING THURSDAY THAT ALL FIVE PEOPLE ABOARD THE SUBMARINE DIED WHEN IT IMPLODED UNDERWATER.
” I offer my deepest condolences to the families. I can only imagine what this has been like for them and I hope that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time.”
COAST GUARD OFFICIALS — SAYING THURSDAY THAT FIVE MAJOR PIECES OF DEBRIS FROM THE VESSEL KNOWN AS THE TITAN WERE DISCOVERED.
THE FIRST PIECE WAS FOUND ABOUT 16-HUNDRED FEET FROM THE BOW OF THE TITANIC ON THE SEA FLOOR.
THE TITAN WAS MAKING ITS WAY DOWN TO THE REMAINS OF THE TITANIC SUNDAY WHEN IT WAS REPORTED MISSING.
THE SEARCH AND RESCUE EFFORT THAT FOLLOWED HAS NOW TURN INTO AN INVESTIGATION AND SALVAGE MISSION.
THE COAST GUARD SAYS THE INVESTIGATION WILL TAKE AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME.

JUST DAYS BEFORE THE ABORTION PILL MIFEPRISTONE WAS SET TO BE BANNED IN WYOMING —
A FEDERAL JUDGE RULED THURSDAY TO STOP THE STATE’S BAN ON ABORTION PILLS.
WYOMING WAS THE FIRST STATE TO MOVE TO BAN THE PILL MIFEPRISTONE —
WHICH HAS BEEN USED TO CARRY OUT MORE THAN HALF OF ALL U.S. ABORTIONS.
THE STATE ALSO PASSED AN ABORTION BAN —
BOTH OF WHICH ARE NOW TIED UP IN LITIGATION.
YESTERDAY A FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERED A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.
THE PILL WILL REMAIN **LEGAL IN THE STATE PENDING THE OUTCOME OF A LAWSUIT.
THE STATE’S ABORTION BAN WAS LIKEWISE TEMPORARILY BLOCKED BY A JUDGE AWAITING THE OUTCOME OF ITS LEGAL CHALLENGE IN COURT.
IF THE STATE’S ABORTION BAN DOES GO INTO EFFECT —
THEN EFFORTS TO BLOCK THE PILL FROM BEING USED WOULD BE LARGELY SYMBOLIC.

WYOMING IS ONE OF MANY STATES MOVING TO CREATE LEGISLATION ON AN ISSUE THAT HAS LONG DIVIDED AMERICANS AND CONTINUES TO BE A MAJOR TALKING POINT IN POLITICS.
SOMETHING PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS LOOKING TO BUILD OFF OF AFTER THE DEMOCRATS HAD MAJOR SUCCESS IN THE MIDTERMS RUNNING ON RIGHTS TO AN ABORTION.
“It’s going to continue to be a big week. The administration is, you know, literally all four of the principals, the president, vice president, second gentleman and first lady are all engaged. And I really think you’re seeing that not only here in this administration, but really across the country. People are really galvanized and motivated.”
[LABEL FOR FIRST THREE CLIPS: JUNE 24/25, 2022 | WASHINGTON/ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI]
TOMORROW MARKS EXACTLY ONE YEAR SINCE THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION.
EVER SINCE —
IT’S BEEN A TOP ISSUE FOR AMERICAN VOTERS.
ABORTION MEASURES ON BALLOTS LAST YEAR LARGELY FELL IN FAVOR OF PROTECTING ABORTION RIGHTS.
SOMETHING PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WILL CAMPAIGN ON GOING INTO 2024.
BIDEN HAS RECEIVED THREE MAJOR ENDORSEMENTS FROM ABORTION RIGHTS GROUPS.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
“NARAL” PRO CHOICE AMERICA.
AND “EMILY’S LIST.”
AFTER THE OVERTURNING OF ROE — 53 PERCENT OF AMERICANS POLLED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS **DISAPPROVED OF THE COURT’S DECISION.
A NEAR SPLIT PROVING HOW DIVIDED THE COUNTRY IS OVER THE ISSUE.

A HOUSE COMMITTEE HAS RELEASED TRANSCRIPTS OF CONGRESSIONAL INTERVIEWS WITH TWO I-R-S WHISTLEBLOWERS —
WHO ALLEGE “SWEEPING MISCONDUCT” BY THE DOJ, THE FBI, AND THE IRS IN THE INVESTIGATION INTO HUNTER BIDEN.
ACCORDING TO THE WHISTLEBLOWERS’ TESTIMONY
— WHICH YOU CAN READ IN-FULL FOR YOURSELF AT S-A-N.COM —
THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE BEING ACCUSED OF “INTERFERING IN THE TAX EVASION CASE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT’S SON.”
THE GOP HOUSE COMMITTEE CLAIMS THE TESTIMONY REVEALS “PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT” FOR “THE WEALTHY AND POLITICALLY CONNECTED”.
ONE WHISTLEBLOWER SAID DECISIONS IN THE CASE WERE “INFLUENCED BY POLITICS” —
AND CLAIMS THE BIDEN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT “DELAYED, DIVULGED, AND DENIED AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO HUNTER’S ALLEGED TAX CRIMES.
THE WHISTLEBLOWER TESTIMONY COMES AT TIME OF GREAT DIVIDE —
WHERE THE TWO MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES ARE AT ODDS OVER ITS JUSTICE SYSTEM.

THREE TROPICAL DISTURBANCES ARE ALL LINED UP BETWEEN THE CARIBBEAN AND AFRICA —
AND ALL MOVING WEST.
IT’S A BUSY — AND UNUSUAL — START TO HURRICANE SEASON ACCORDING TO A HURRICANE SPECIALIST.
THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE ISLANDS IS TROPICAL STORM BRET —
WIND SPEEDS COMING IN JUST UNDER “HURRICANE-STRENGTH” AS IT PASSED NEAR BARBADOS.
BEHIND BRET —
IS TROPICAL STORM CINDY —
WITH A TRACK-FORECAST TOWARDS THE OPEN NORTH ATLANTIC —
MEANING ITS LIKELY TO MISS THE ISLANDS COMPLETELY.
THERE’S EVEN A THIRD SYSTEM ALREADY BREWING OFF THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA.
BUT WITH HOT WATER ACROSS THE SEA SURFACE —
HURRICANE SPECIALISTS PREDICT THIS ONE COULD EVENTUALLY TAKE SHAPE.
CINDY IS THE THIRD NAMED STORM IN THE ATLANTIC —
WHICH NORMALLY DOESN’T HAPPEN —
UNTIL **AUGUST THIRD**.
THAT MAKES HURRICANE SEASON SIX WEEKS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

3-M HAS REACHED AN AGREEMENT TO PAY MORE THAN 10 **BILLION DOLLARS TO SETTLE CONTAMINATED WATER CLAIMS BROUGHT BY MULTIPLE U-S CITIES OVER “FOREVER CHEMICALS” KNOWN AS P-F-A’s.
THE COMPANY PRODUCES THINGS LIKE POST-IT NOTES, SCOTCH TAPE, AND N-95 MASKS.
3-M IS ACCUSED OF CONTIMNATING WATER WITH ITS USE OF P-F-A’S IN ITS PRODUCTS.
THE PAYMENTS WOULD BE MADE OVER A 13 YEAR PERIOD TO TEST AND TREAT WATER SUPPLY FOR P-F-A CONTAMINATION.
THE COMPANY STILL FACES OTHER LAWSUITS FROM SEVERAL STATES AND ALSO FROM INDIVIDUALS.
3M PLANS TO STOP MANUFACTURING P-F-A’s IN 2025.
THESE ARE YOUR TOP STORIES.
