Trump promises Americans $5K if GOP wins; New details emerge in Amazon crash

Before we get started this morning, a quick programming note

We've got some exciting changes coming to Unbiased Updates. A new anchor joins us next week, and we're getting the studio ready for their debut

So things may look a little different around here for the next few days, but we'll still have all the news you count on each morning

For now, here are today's Unbiased Updates. President Trump takes center stage at the RNC convention in Dallas

with a big promise for voters. I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000

And the Democrat who made a surprise appearance. Plus, an emergency slide deployed before Trump could take off

What happened on the new Air Force One and why the president says he wasn't worried

And a pilot warned they were going too fast for nearly two minutes. Now the widow of a man killed in that Amazon plane crash is suing

what she says went wrong. The stories that matter, clear and credible

from across the country to around the world. These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow

President Trump opened the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas with a $5,000 promise to Americans

Trump says every adult would get what he calls a dividend, but only if Republicans keep control of both the House and Senate

in November. He didn't say how the payments would be funded or whether he would ask Congress to

authorize them. Paying every American adult is estimated to cost more than $1 trillion

But he did put one other condition on the money. But the only condition on the payment of this

dividend that we're going to be making, so it's $5,000 to every adult. The only caveat I have is

that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America

We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money

We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America

In other words if the Republicans win if you win we might not win Trump also told supporters to vote in November as if he were on the ballot saying quote we running together And one of the night more unexpected appearances came from a Democrat

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman appeared by video to introduce his Republican Senate

colleague, Dave McCormick. Vice President J.D. Vance is tonight's keynote speaker, with Trump set to return to close

out the convention. Well, that trip to Dallas got off to a bit of a rocky start

Before President Trump could take off from Joint Base Andrews, an emergency slide on the new Air Force One suddenly deployed

Trump ended up waiting about 20 minutes inside Marine One while Cruz dealt with it

A person briefed on what happened, told Fox News the slide was triggered accidentally

Trump described it as a safety check, saying Cruz wanted to make sure the slide works perfectly

Then came the fairly obvious follow up. Mr. President, do you know why they're checking the slide

Is there a security concern with the plane? ...before, and they just wanted to make sure, so they've, I guess they've already put it up

They want to make sure everything works perfectly. President, are you sure this plane is safe to fly

Yeah, I am. Or I wouldn't be honest. Crews removed the slide, actually hauling it away in the back of a pickup truck

and Trump took off for Dallas on the plane. The jet is a $400 million Boeing 747 donated by Qatar and recently retrofitted for presidential use

And it's already been an eventful few months. Back in July, security concerns in Turkey led to an elaborate plane switch. Trump boarded the old Air Force One, then was secretly moved off the plane using a catering truck and flown out on a different military jet. The original Air Force One took off as a decoy

While President Trump is threatening another strike inside Iran, during the Republican

midterm convention in Dallas, Trump said the U.S. had detected new activity at Pickaxe

Mountain, an Iranian nuclear site. We can read it from space. Can you believe this

Thousands of miles away and we're reading somebody's — we know exactly what's going

on, but we notice there's a little activity at Pickaxe. I would advise Iran not to get cute because we will have to hit them very hard

We have no choice, right? We have no choice. The warning comes as the fighting spreads elsewhere in the region

The Iran Houthi rebels in Yemen say Saudi forces have launched dozens of airstrikes across the country Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the Houthi claim A warthog known as a warthog reportedly lost a wing Those strikes came after U forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday

And Trump also floated a new name for the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump Strait

And he again said oil prices will fall once the U.S. wins the war with Iran

a war he said is, quote, taking place right now. The widow of one of the men killed in the Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport

has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming multiple failures led to the crash

Yaraysi Santizo Morejon's 53-year-old husband, Yuel Rodriguez Naranjo, was driving the cleaning crew van hit by the plane on Sunday

He was one of five people killed. The lawsuit names a number of defendants, including Amazon, Amazon Air Cargo

and the two pilots of the Boeing 767. It calls the crash, quote, the foreseeable and preventable result of multiple concurrent failures

The suit points to alleged pilot error and systemic failure by Amazon and the plane's

operating company. It also cites the age of the 32-year-old aircraft and notes its braking

thrust reverser, and spoiler systems are now under NTSB investigation. And a new NTSB report

reveals what was happening inside the cockpit when pilot repeatedly warned the other for nearly

two minutes that they were going too fast, both as they approached the runway and after touchdown

A summary of the cockpit voice recording says the other pilot never gave what investigators

called a consistent verbal response to those warnings. The cause of the crash remains under

investigation. Lindsay Clancy's murder trial ended with a hung jury last week. Now her lawyer is

trying to make sure there isn't another one. Kevin Reddington tells CBS News he'll ask a judge to

throw out the case on double jeopardy grounds, arguing the mistrial should not have been

declared. The jury deliberated for more than seven days before the judge declared that mistrial

The foreperson told the judge one juror had acknowledged having doubt, but refused to apply

the law on reasonable doubt. Reddington says the judge should have questioned the juror further

before declaring a mistrial. It would be a motion to dismiss based on what's called double jeopardy

grounds because there no the term is manifest necessity You have to have a manifest necessity to declare a mistrial for obvious reasons The invested time that the jurors put into it the court the staff the defendant prosecution

everybody. Reddington will make that argument in court September 29th. It's a long shot motion

Mistrials generally don't prevent prosecutors from trying a case again. But if he wins

prosecutors would be barred from trying Clancy for the same charges. And Reddington is also asking President Trump to get involved

He told ABC News this week that he asked Trump to consider a pardon for Clancy

even though a president can't pardon state crimes. Reddington knows that. He says what he's hoping is that any message from Trump that works in his favor

might influence the Republican district attorney. Trump was asked about Clancy last week

It's a shame. It's a horrible tragedy. It's a terrible situation. Look, she did a horrible, horrible thing

Can't be worse. But you'll find out what the price to pay is

There'll be a price. It's going to be a mental institution or jail or something

Reddington says he hasn't heard from the White House. Prosecutors have not yet said whether they'll retry Clancy

Finally this morning, after nearly 30 years, South Park has a new name

Or at least that's what Trey Parker and Matt Stone would like you to believe

the creators posted this new look, with Park, Crossed Out, and America taking its place

So for now, South Park is South America. It's their answer to President Trump's recent move

to rename Lake Ontario Lake America in the U.S., a change Apple and Google have both adopted on

their maps. And Parker and Stone made sure they got a thank you. They wrote, inspired by the

bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we're changing the name of South Park to South America

They even worked their own parent company into the joke, thanking Paramount for what they called a Skydance capitulation

When asked how long the new name will last, Parker and Stone insisted they are, quote

100% committed to South America. Season 29 premieres September 16th. Unbiased Updates gives you the headlines
