Clancy Trial Ends, Hurricane Lowell Threatens Hawaii, White House Debuts Deportation Games and more

0:00Hey, from CNN, I'm a FOMA DK, with the five things you need to know for Friday, September 4. I'm members of the jury. At this point, I'm going to declare that the jury is deadlocked, and I'm going to declare a mistrial. Lindsey Clancy's triple murder trial ends in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked and wasn't able to reach a verdict. The jury made up of nine women and three men, deliberated for about 38 hours over seven days. Jury notes indicated that the jury was split 11-1, but any verdict must be unanimous. This leaves open the possibility of a retrial with a different jury. Clement County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said the prosecution wouldn't make any decision today on whether to retry the case. The legal process for considering a retrial could begin later this month. Speaking outside the courthouse, Cruz said their focus has been on Clancy's three children. The criminals are being treated as victims, and the real victims are invisible.

1:02It is our job to make sure that the victims are not invisible, to make sure that they're not forgotten, and to make sure that we stand for them in the way that we seek justice. And that's what I think was done in this case. Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, had this rebuttal. Cruz knows that he was crushed. He doesn't have a case. He doesn't have to stand here and say that he's advocating on behalf of the victims and then look down to see what their names are. Both the prosecution and defense agreed that Clancy fatally strangled her three young children with exercise resistance bands in January 2023. Prosecutors argued Clancy intentionally caused their deaths and is criminally responsible. While the defense said she shouldn't be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from an episode of postpartum psychosis. Now to President Donald Trump's ultimatum on social media. He demanded that the federal reserve lower interest rates or he stops trading with countries the U.S. has a trade deficit with, such as China, Mexico, and Vietnam.

2:07The Fed declined to comment on Trump's post. The president's threat came shortly after last month's surprisingly hot jobs report, showing that employers in the U.S. hired 162,000 new workers in August. More than double the level economists anticipated. The report opens the door even wider for the central bank to hike interest rates to fight back inflation concerns. Officials meet later this month to decide what rates should be. Hawaii is bracing for its third storm threat in less than a month. Hurricane Lowell is set to bear down on its western islands on Monday, prompting Governor Josh Green to declare a state of emergency. CNN's Mary Gilbert is tracking the forecast. Mary, how bad could it get? Yeah, a FOMO. We have a bit of a strange situation in our hands with Lowell. It's a category 4 hurricane located 5-600 miles south of Hawaii as of Friday morning and Hawaii time. It's heading west now, but we're expecting it to make a very sharp turn to the north this weekend. The timing of this turn will determine exactly how close it gets to Hawaii's western

3:09islands and how bad the impacts will be. Right now we're most confident that Lowell will turn up dangerous seas as it heads north, which could cause rip currents and subsignificant coastal flooding. Heavy rain and some gusty winds are also a possibility, especially as the hurricane makes its closest approach to western Hawaii later Monday into Tuesday morning. Coming up, the White House has spawned a new way to highlight its priorities and some are calling it racist and offensive. So have I got news for your ears, the podcast. I am your host Michael E. and Black. What are we going to talk about? Let's get into it. We're talking about. We're back at war with Iran. And Trump has the AI sloped videos to prove it. Dangerous quits. Right when we learned who he was, Trump's midterm plans involved several unpopular things, himself and data centers. Have I got news for your ears?

4:14A Russian drone struck a major intelligence and security building in central Kiev in broad daylight. The Strike Kit Ukraine's security service, also known as the SBU, at its headquarters, similar to the FBI in the US. Authorities say 12 people were injured in the attack and that emergency services were at the scene. It's the first time the building has been hit in the four and a half year conflict. It's also a sign that Ukraine's air defense system is strained and that Kiev is struggling to defend its key sites against Russian attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the drone was aimed directly at the office of the SBU chief. The agency later confirmed that the chief was safe and not wounded in the attack. The strike comes after days of near continuous aerial assaults by Russia on the Ukrainian capital, which has left over 100 people killed or injured. Ukraine has also ramped up its drone attacks in recent weeks. The Trump administration has launched a new effort to troll Democrats using online games that some critics are calling racist and offensive.

5:17CNN's Erin Mathieson has more. Erin, what are these games all about? Yeah, FOMA. So yesterday, the White House unveiled a series of online arcade-style games on its official website, all to highlight the administration's priorities. The game allowed players to capture people at the southern border, another task with building a border wall. In the game Rio Run, the player icon is an older white man in a blue tie, while the people players are supposed to capture, appear to be brown, black or white. I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, host of the Chasing Life Podcast. Last week, there was this important report that dropped that I think got a lot of attention. It's about football, and there was this new study in the British Medical Journal, which estimates that of all the NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021, about 878 players, at least 25% of them had confirmed CTE. That is the disease that is caused by repetitive hits to the brain. So CNN's resident NFL veteran, Koi Wire, he called me, we called fellow CNN sports anchor

6:19Andy Scholes, and we were talking about it. I know as a former player, anytime I forget my keys, if I get a slight headache, it pops in my head. I'm thinking like, man, I hope this is just, Andy, do you forget your keys? Rarely, I do. Oh, dear, it's supposed to say yes all the time Koi, make me feel better. Sorry. Listen to Chasing Life, streaming now, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Anderson Cooper. On my podcast, all there is, we explore grief and loss in all its complexities. My guess on the podcast is NASCAR Champion and Whole of Famer Kurt Bush. He's grieving the recent death of his younger brother, NASCAR Champion Kyle Bush. I'm trying to grieve in ways to help people. I want your mom, my dad, and I try to do it where I'm not biting off more than I can chew and then back off a bit and trying to help everyone get through this and share stories. And it's not going to get any easier, but time will help heal. I have a nice therapist that I worked with towards the twilight of my career.

7:21His therapy helped. It has. I embraced it a few years back, whereas the younger teenager, 20-year-old, 30-year-old, nah. Talking grief, building community. That's what the podcast is all about. This is all there is. Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts. Now Build a Wall is a tetrasile game that asks users to stack bricks and to hold the line against a zombie border siege. Now after the game was released, the tetras brand posted on Instagram that it was not involved in the game's creation, and at a quote, a tetras we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them. Now a White House official told CNN the effort was meant to highlight the contrast between a quote, culture of fun and winning, and the dark socialist vision Democrats have for America. And a phoma, some people have already posted their scores from the games on X. And others have questioned the administration's priorities, given the Iran War and the high cost of living. That's all for now, but soon in tomorrow for a new episode of Five Good Things.

8:24As summer comes to a close, hear about the 30-year back-to-school tradition helping kids look and feel their best. And about a revolutionary war witness, you probably didn't know was still around.
