Morning rundown: Pence classified docs; Biden sued by 20 states

GOOD MORNING THANKS FOR JOINING THE DAILY RUNDOWN.
I’M KARAH RUCKER.
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT END UP AT MIKE PENCE’S PRIVATE RESIDENCE.
AND THE VICE PRESIDENT VISITS MONTEREY PARK TODAY WHERE 11 PEOPLE WERE SHOT AND KILLED OVER THE WEEKEND.
BUT FIRST AN EARTHQUAKE STRIKES NEAR MALIBU…SENDING SHOCK WAVES THROUGH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
THIS IS STRAIGHT ARROW NEWS.
UNBIASED. STRAIGHT FACTS.
A 4.2. MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE HAS STRUCK 10 MILES SOUTH OF MALIBU BEACH…HAPPENING AROUND 2 AM THEIR TIME.
WHILE THERE’S NO TSUNAMI THREAT ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS —
IT HAS SENT SHOCK WAVES UP AND DOWN THE SOUTHERN COAST OF CALIFORNIA…
COMING IN BETWEEN A 2.6 TO 3.5 MAGNITUDE FELT IN THE AREA.
NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

A MAN FATALLY SHOT THREE PEOPLE AT A “CIRCLE K” GAS STATION IN WASHINGTON ON TUESDAY BEFORE TURNING THE GUN HIMSELF.
THE NEWS COMES JUST DAYS AFTER SEVERAL MASS SHOOTINGS MADE NATIONAL HEADLINES THIS WEEK.
MASS SHOOTINGS HAVE AVERAGED MORE THAN ONE PER DAY SO FAR THIS YEAR.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RELEASING DATA ON MASS SHOOTINGS TODAY…A 72 PAGE REPORT CONDUCTED BY SECRET SERVICE.
THEY ANALYZED 173 INCIDENTS THAT RESULTED IN THREE OR MORE PEOPLE GETTING INJURED OR KILLED.
THOSE INCIDENTS SPAN BETWEEN 2016 AND 2020.
THEY FOUND NEARLY THREE-QUARTERS OF ASSAILANTS USED GUNS TO CARRY OUT THEIR CRIMES.
ONE QUARTER OF THOSE OBTAINED THEIR WEAPONS ILLEGALLY.
A PERSONAL GRIEVANCE OF SOME SORT WAS THE SINGLE MOST COMMON MOTIVE BUT ONE-QUARTER OF THE ATTACKS WERE REPORTEDLY MOTIVATED BY WHAT THE SECRET SERVICE CALLS “CONSPIRACY THEORIES OR HATEFUL IDEOLOGIES.”
THE REPORT IS MEANT TO HELP MONITOR TRENDS AND SHED LIGHT ON A TOP ISSUE OUR COUNTRY FACES.
VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WILL BE IN MONTEREY PARK TODAY TO VISIT THE SITE OF ONE OF THE LATEST MASS SHOOTINGS WHERE 11 PEOPLE DIED.

SAME STORYLINE– DIFFERENT CHARACTER.
DOCUMENTS WITH CLASSIFIED MARKINGS WERE DISCOVERED LAST WEEK AT FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE’S INDIANA HOME AND TURNED OVER TO THE FBI.
HIS LAWYER SAYS THERE WAS A “SMALL AMOUNT” OF CLASSIFIED MATERIAL FOUND AT THE RESIDENCE.
THE SEARCH WAS A PRECAUTIONARY ONE SINCE THE NEWS OF CLASSIFIED FILES ENDING UP IN PERSONAL RESIDENCES OF PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THE LAWYER SAID THE FILES WERE PLACED A BOX AND TRANSPORTED TO PENCE’S HOME WHEN PACKING TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE ATTORNEY ALSO SAID THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS “UNAWARE” OF THE DOCUMENTS.

MICROSOFT PROGRAMS LIKE “TEAMS” AND “OUTLOOK” — ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL ISSUES…CAUSING OUTAGES FOR THOUSANDS OF USERS.
THE COMPANY SAYS THEY’VE IDENTIFIED A POTENTIAL NETWORKING ISSUE AND HAVE ALREADY MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO GET THEIR PROGRAMS BACK UP-AND-RUNNING.
THE OUTAGES WERE WIDELY REPORTED OVERNIGHT.

WALMART EMPLOYEES ARE GETTING A PAY RAISE.
THE MINIMUM WAGE INCREASING FROM 12 DOLLARS TO 14 DOLLARS AN HOUR.
THE COUNTRY’S LARGEST PRIVATE EMPLOYER IS CATCHING UP WITH ITS COMPETITION IN A TIGHT-LABOR MARKET.
WHILE WHITE-COLLAR INDUSTRIES EXPERIENCE LAYOFFS…
IT’S LOWER PAID SECTORS STRETCHED THIN IN THEIR WORKFORCE.
COMPETITORS TARGET AND AMAZON HAVE A 15 DOLLAR AN HOUR MINIMUM WAGE.
THE AVERAGE WALMART EMPLOYEE WILL NOW MAKE 17-50 AN HOUR COMPARED TO 17 DOLLARS AN HOUR AFTER THE NEW PAY RAISE KICKS IN NEXT MONTH.

PRESIDENT BIDEN’S LATEST IMMIGRATION PLAN IS BEING MET WITH LEGAL CHALLENGES.
20 REPUBLICAN STATES HAVE FILED A LAWSUIT ASKING A FEDERAL JUDGE TO STOP A PROGRAM THAT WOULD ALLOW UP TO 30 THOUSAND MIGRANTS TO ENTER THE U.S. LEGALLY EACH MONTH…AS LONG AS THEY HAVE AMERICAN SPONSORS.
MIGRANTS FROM CUBA, HAITI, NICARAGUA, AND VENEZUELA COULD LIVE AND WORK IN THE U.S. LEGALLY UNDER A HUMANITARIAN IMMIGRATION AUTHORITY KNOWN AS PAROLE.
THE STATES SUING TO STOP THE SPONSORSHIP SAY NOT ONLY IS IT ILLEGAL, BUT SOMETHING THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A SAY-SO IN.

POPE FRANCIS IS GIVING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HIS TAKE ON HOMO-SEXUALITY IN A NEW INTERVIEW PUBLISHED TODAY.
THE POPE DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN WHAT IS SIN AND WHAT IS CRIMINAL.
POPE FRANCIS SAYS LEGISLATION ACROSS THE WORLD THAT CRIMINALIZES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS **WRONG.
AT LEAST 67 COUNTRIES HAVE LAWS AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE.
THE POPE JUSTIFYING HIS TAKE BY CALLING **ALL CHILDREN…CHILDREN OF GOD.
WHILE THE POPE SAYS HOMOSEXUALITY IS SINFUL…HE SAYS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH NEEDS TO TAKE A STANCE AGAINST CRIMINALIZING IT.
THESE ARE YOUR TOP HEADLINES ON THIS WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THANKS FOR WATCHING THE DAILY RUNDOWN WITH STRAIGHT ARROW NEWS.
WE’RE ON A MISSION TO BRING BACK TRUSTWORTHY JOURNALISM BY ONLY SERVING YOU — NOT AN AGENDA.
WE’LL SEE YOU BACK HERE AT NOON.
UNTIL THEN, I’M KARAH RUCKER…HAVE A GREAT DAY.
