WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:09.119 The first two US deaths related to cyclospora, which has 2 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.240 set a panic about lett us happen in the US. 3 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.640 In Michigan, sopranos actor Vince past Story, known for playing 4 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.920 mobsters and real tough guys, dead at the age of eighty. 5 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.079 I'm Kate Delaney. But right at the top, we swing 6 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:30.559 into the rundown here on America tonight. We start first 7 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.039 with Iran, because we talked for so long about wow, 8 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.159 back at the table, no more attacks. So after calling 9 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.240 off a fresh round of strikes against Iran, US President 10 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.280 Donald Trump said on Monday that the two sides are yep, 11 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.399 talking again. We're trying to wind down the war. So 12 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.600 these talks are pretty critical this week, and that would 13 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:56.000 be a month's long conflict. And reviving stalled cargo traffic 14 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.679 through the Straight of Warmouse. 15 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.240 Is the end goal. We all know. 16 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.920 It's the water, very crucial, where a fifth of all 17 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:09.159 traded oil and natural gas passes it through that and 18 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.560 was going along smoothly before the war. 19 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.920 So there was a big time push. 20 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.040 For these strikes, these strikes, these strikes, But now all 21 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.799 of a sudden there is a diplomatic reprieve. The President 22 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.680 had said the negotiation did say rather the negotiations would 23 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.959 be the last chance for Iran to forge a deal 24 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.840 to reopen the straight and address concerns about the nuclear program. 25 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:39.319 So again, we'll see if this goes anywhere or not, 26 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.680 but it is the latest developments that we have in 27 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.560 the Middle East, particularly when it comes to what started 28 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:52.159 back in February. Meanwhile, closer to home and on the 29 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.560 West Coast, thousands are fleeing Washington State, sad to see 30 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.840 all the homes and neighborhoods destroyed and spoke and this 31 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.159 man going through what was left of his home said 32 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.959 he probably won't return. 33 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.680 I don't think I'm going to rebuild here because I 34 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.080 don't ever want to have to relive a fire coming 35 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:12.159 up this hill again. 36 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.199 So many firefighters are there on the scene, over four 37 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.080 thousand to try to help and put it out. But 38 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.960 it's not even at this point, you know, ten percent contained. 39 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.560 We're talking about almost eight thousand acres burned and over 40 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.319 seven hundred structures just flattened. You look at these neighborhoods 41 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:41.719 that were in beautiful areas that are left with very little, 42 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.199 and you see people that are there with rakes trying 43 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.639 to find anything that's left of their life. Frankly, maybe 44 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.759 they'll find a picture somewhere in the middle of it. 45 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.759 Maybe they'll find some kind of family heirloom, just anything 46 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.960 that connects them to what use to be. 47 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.240 So you had people. 48 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.159 That could at least return to these devastated neighborhoods in 49 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.719 the eastern part too of Washington State to find that, Yeah, 50 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.800 everything's been leveled by the wildfire. You got yards and 51 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.560 yards that are charged in debris. In some cases, you 52 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.199 have just the chimneys that are left standing. 53 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:21.039 You know. 54 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.080 In the end, the good news. 55 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.360 Is that we're not talking about how many people have died. 56 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.680 You know. We're seeing the blackened cars and the boats 57 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.000 that are twisted by the heat and melted plastic, but 58 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.159 we're not talking about that. However, there were initially a 59 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.560 lot of calls of missing people, like close to three hundred, 60 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.639 but the Spokane County Sheriff's office say they did clear 61 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.719 almost all of them but fourteen at this hour. So 62 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.400 there is some good news when it comes to that. 63 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:02.240 Max Miller, the congressman from Ohio, is under attack for 64 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:12.400 allegations that he has abused his child and had abused 65 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.920 his ex wife. In fact, Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio, 66 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.079 who Max Miller is his ex son in law, says 67 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.199 that that's happened. So there is a push for Max 68 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.959 Miller to drop out of the race, especially with the 69 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:34.759 midterms coming up. Amid these abuse allegations, Miller decided to 70 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.879 tell his story on x Here's what he said. 71 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.839 I have never abused our daughter. Before I go through 72 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.319 the facts with you today, understand one thing. Every one 73 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.399 of these allegations traces back to a single source, my 74 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.319 former wife. I filed for divorce in August of twenty 75 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:02.240 twenty four. That October, she had under oath that I 76 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:09.199 had never harmed our daughter. Every accusation has come since, 77 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.519 so ask yourself what is continuing to change? 78 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:16.560 Not the facts. 79 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.120 There's never been evidence of any kind. 80 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:20.519 What changed. 81 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.279 Ladies and gentlemen, were the stakes. The first report came 82 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:29.240 thirteen days after our shared parenting plan was entered. The 83 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.079 next one came in February of twenty twenty six, in 84 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.399 the heat of our custody fight, days before a court 85 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:42.160 granted me a protection order against her. Her most extreme 86 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:47.079 accusations are the ones that had to deal with child abuse, 87 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.120 and they frame me as an abuser timed and every 88 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.920 time again to our custody dispute in politics. And not 89 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.519 one of these allegations has ever been substantiated by any 90 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.600 court or any agency. 91 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.360 Yeah, so he goes on to talk about much more 92 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.600 the same thing. There again is still the push for 93 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.639 him to drop out so far that is definitely definitely 94 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.600 not happening at this point speaking of dropping out or 95 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.879 staying in. Republican holdouts say they're going to back Todd 96 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:27.160 blanche for Attorney General after he rescinded Trump's anti weaponization fund. 97 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.319 If you remember what that fund was about, that was 98 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.680 going to help support nine those that were involved in 99 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.839 what happened on the Hill and others of the one 100 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:47.759 point eight billion fund. But after saying that he would 101 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:52.079 rescind that fund, Tom Tillis of North Carolina and John 102 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.040 Corny into Texas, who threatened to block his nomination over 103 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.959 that agreement, have decided that they're going to move forward 104 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.879 in good faith. And part of the argument was, you know, 105 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.040 this fund was created as an agreement to settle a 106 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.240 lawsuit from the President against the IRS. 107 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.279 That was you know part of it too. 108 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.079 And then also the people who claimed they were victims 109 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.319 of weaponization by the federal government, including those involved with 110 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.319 the January sixth, twenty twenty one US Capital riot. So 111 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.759 because that document was released that limits the addendum to 112 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.519 that agreement that offers the president members of his family 113 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:43.360 immunity from tax investigations, then that has meant that their blessing, 114 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.439 so to speak, is going in his direction. Well, no 115 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.720 anyway either way, because the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote 116 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.959 on Tuesday on his nomination, meaning he could be confirmed 117 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.800 before the Chamber leaves for a five week recess, and 118 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.160 then he would be the attorney general roll of the 119 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.600 United States. But right now that still hangs in the balance. 120 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:06.240 All right. 121 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.600 Sadly, we've been talking about lettuce and tainted lettuce and 122 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:16.360 the cyclostpora. Two people have died in Michigan from that, 123 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.319 and of course if you go to your grocery store, 124 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.360 it may depend on where your liver. Maybe not, because 125 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:26.399 there are people who are fearful of eating lettuce period, 126 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.519 no matter what if it's tied to tailor farms, which 127 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.399 is where it came from, or even illogically thinking no, 128 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.919 it could be anywhere. But we do have the first 129 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:43.360 confirmed deaths related to that microscopic parasite, just absolutely awful, right, 130 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.840 all right, coming up on the flip and wait, there's more, 131 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.360 including tainted water. 132 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.840 Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?

Janine Piro, 186 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.360 who is the Attorney General in d c Well her 187 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:36.279 Justice Department, submitted a cord filing Friday moving to dismiss 188 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:40.720 vandalism charges against sixty seven year old Olympian former Olympian 189 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.559 David Hearn, saying the Interior Department incorrectly attributed damage to 190 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.360 the pools lining to vandalism and that evidence showed contractor 191 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:55.440 error and a botched installation were to blame. Needless to say, 192 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:59.360 the president was not happy with her, and I. 193 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.879 Was just a pointed with Janey Birou, really disappointed with 194 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:08.720 janeit Bierro. She folded like an umbrella, and people get 195 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.279 away with things. It's a disgrace. But these monuments look 196 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.480 better than they did when they were originally built, not 197 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.399 just a little fix up. We made them the way 198 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.840 they were plus and everyone's so proud. The biggest one 199 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.679 of the bigger jobs was not really the biggest, limit enough, 200 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.639 but one of the biggest was the reflecting pool, and 201 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.120 we did a great job. So now I'm not saying 202 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.679 I was one hundred percent thrilled with the contractor, but 203 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.360 the contractor was rushing. We wanted to get it open 204 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:44.759 for July fourth, and we got it done. But in addition, 205 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.080 there was vandalism, and we weren't necessarily thrilled with the contractor, 206 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.720 but they did a job and they were fixing any problems. 207 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.639 But then it got carried away because the judge was 208 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.440 extremely unfriendly to Janine, and frankly, I think she choked 209 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.720 because the judge was really vicious. 210 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.279 All right, So the bottom line is the judge said, nope, 211 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.919 not enough evidence there, so that was the ruling. Hearn 212 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:22.320 is not being prosecuted for that, and it again was 213 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:27.840 blamed on contractor error. And moving forward, there still is 214 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:32.039 more work to be done there, and you know, ultimately 215 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.440 in the past there had been problems with this. We've 216 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.639 talked about it on the show. Why is it so hard? 217 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.799 It's because of so many things around it and the 218 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:44.120 piping in the you know, the reflecting pond, the Lincoln 219 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.919 Reflecting Pond, which is really a beautiful thing between the monuments, 220 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:55.240 but it's very, very very tough to renovate and keep clean. 221 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.399 So the idea of doing it was a good one, 222 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.440 but not so easy, so flawed work. 223 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:03.960 And you hear the presidents say, of course. 224 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:06.519 They wanted it done, so it's the rush job on that, 225 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.120 and that that was a big, big thing. I think 226 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.080 that that happened there for sure. All right. Moved from 227 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.879 that to what are of a different sort, water and 228 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.639 cyber attacks. There's like seven different states now that are 229 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.159 claiming they've had problems. Cyber attacks on water and wastewater 230 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:29.440 infrastructure growing and serious, big time threats, with recent incidents 231 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.960 showing that even small utilities can be targeted by sophisticated 232 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:39.080 and you know, potentially state sponsored actors. There's some accusations 233 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:45.480 about Iran being involved in this. So over thirty municipal 234 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.399 water systems in Minnesota were hit in a coordinated attack, 235 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:53.279 with similar incidents reported in those other states. 236 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.080 I mentioned. 237 00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:00.039 Hackers remotely accessed operational technology systems. They changed passwords and 238 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:05.279 network settings and caused operational disruptions such as pressure loss 239 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.639 and flooding, which could allow untreated groundwater into distribution pipes. 240 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.919 Some of the utilities had to switch to manual operations 241 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.840 and issue boil water notices, not as many as you 242 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.639 would think, so luckily there were some backups there, but 243 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.240 federal agencies, including the FBI and the EPA weren't of 244 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:31.960 ongoing to ongoing Iranian linked threats targeting Internet connected utility controls. 245 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.240 So they're getting in there, and that is to me, 246 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:40.399 that is a very very frightening thing. So the Plymouth, 247 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:49.799 Minnesota town City Public's work Director Works Director Michael Thompson 248 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:54.200 said this how they did shut it down, but they 249 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:55.600 did have concerns. 250 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.840 About it when an event like this comes up, where 251 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.679 we can run in manual operations just to ensure the 252 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.200 quality and quantity of water. 253 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.319 It is not affected, Yeah. 254 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.119 Because that's the key thing, right, you don't want the 255 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.759 bad water. But it is high stakes consequences, I would say. 256 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:17.319 But with increasing automation and then these bad actors, it 257 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:22.519 means cybersecurity has to be a top priority, right, has 258 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.720 to has to There have to be layers of it, 259 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.559 There have to be proactive defenses. If anything, this is 260 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:33.319 a massive warning flag over all of that for all 261 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.559 of us, no matter where it is that. 262 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.920 We live. 263 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.039 So often you take that for granted, right until something happens. 264 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.160 It's like when occasionally the water is not there, you know, 265 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.359 when you get up and you're like, whoa, what happened 266 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.279 to the water, And the little trickle of brown comes out, 267 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.799 and then you start to call your neighbors and find 268 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:53.759 out what's going on. Was the water shut off? Did 269 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.799 something happen? Imagine if you're dealing with all of that, 270 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.640 all right, it was in and out. That was the 271 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.200 tar and that happened over the weekend on Saturday, three dead, 272 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.640 seven injured. One man responded by drawing his weapon and 273 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:13.279 going after the shooter. Several others reacted. Here was the 274 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:19.480 sheriff in Idaho talking about in Twin Falls talking about 275 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.839 how those brave people really help save so many others. 276 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.440 These people are true heroes in our community, and their 277 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.920 actions diverted the shooter and no doubt saved many lives. 278 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.200 Yeah see, And here's the thing too. Now at this point, 279 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:35.960 I mean just so. 280 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:37.759 Awful. 281 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.480 Right, You're just going on a Saturday in the afternoon 282 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.759 to get a burger from this chain that you're excited 283 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.400 about because people have been talking about it forever, and 284 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.759 then it's only been up for a week in Twin Falls, 285 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.519 and all of a sudden, you got this twenty four 286 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.119 year old Chad Williams who ultimately shot and killed himself, 287 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.799 but he starts to shoot. 288 00:18:58.440 --> 00:18:59.200 At the cars. 289 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.839 It was a mass shooting at a fast food restaurant 290 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:10.079 leaving people dead. Wow, I mean a driver charging his 291 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:16.839 electric taxi, a former law enforcement officer who tried to intervene. 292 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.960 When all of that was going on. 293 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.359 And so now the question becomes what about Williams and 294 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.559 what about what happened and how crazy that was where 295 00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.880 people scattered and we're trying to make sense of what 296 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.319 was going on. Listen to this one woman's description. 297 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:35.720 It was just mass chaos. 298 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.599 The attention was everybody running from in and out. 299 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:43.759 Yeah, so they still can't determine what that was about. 300 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:48.119 It was a busy shopping plaza, and details about the 301 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.559 twenty four year old's life still a little bit unknown 302 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.839 at this point. There was a search of court records 303 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.079 of course in Idaho and Arizona, where he used to live, 304 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.480 didn't show any criminal cases that match up with him. 305 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.319 But that doesn't mean anything at this point. And once again, 306 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.359 you know, you look for people who knew him, and 307 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.279 what do they say, Oh, it seemed like a nice guy. 308 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.559 He's pretty chill guy and never worried about him and 309 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.960 none of that. You know, people that lived near him. 310 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.960 One guy who lived across the hall from him in 311 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.000 a college, the College of Southern Idaho and a dorm said, yeah, 312 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.319 it seemed pretty nice. Nobody, nobody was worried at all. 313 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.240 And they're shocked and sick to their stomach about it. So, 314 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.160 and like I said, you had the big thing was 315 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.279 during the attack and off duty state trooper and then 316 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.880 the civilian firing on him that diverted him from the restaurants. 317 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:46.119 So they definitely, I think, really saved people. There was 318 00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:50.480 a vigil that's planned for Tuesday night at the Twin 319 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:54.519 Falls City Park while all of this is unpacked and people. 320 00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:54.720 Tried to. 321 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:57.920 You know, how do you come to grips with that? 322 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.640 But they try to figure out maybe what the motive 323 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:04.720 is that kind of thing. And I mean, it's too 324 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:08.519 late now for those that were killed. But again, luckily 325 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.319 with the quick thinking of others, we could have been 326 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:13.319 talking about a much higher number. 327 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.559 That is boy, that is for sure. 328 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.920 Hey coming up on the show, just so you know, 329 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.559 we've got Bank of America giving us the last push 330 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.200 for the summer ways that you can save money with 331 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:29.400 your credit cards. 332 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.799 So what are you doing? What are you doing there? 333 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.559 And then also that you got your thoughts with the 334 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.119 mail bag and the pre market belt was actually a 335 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.200 pretty good day on the street and with oil. And 336 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:47.200 that's because right now there's more of that conversation when 337 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.359 it comes to Iran over diplomacy, wrapping this thing up, 338 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.960 and whenever the news is what positive that means in 339 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.440 the world's largest crap table on the markets probably going 340 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.200 to see a better reaction. 341 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:05.119 So the reaction was pretty good. 342 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.680 That's the good that's the good news there. 343 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.119 That's the best I can say. Right I watched that like. 344 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.759 A hawk to see where oil is and to give 345 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.960 us a better sense of all right, maybe this is 346 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.440 going to be a pretty decent week, you know. So 347 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.680 US stocks did rally near a record with the falling 348 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.440 oil prices, and so some of the worries about inflation 349 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.880 were doused, at least temporarily. 350 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.359 So there you go. 351 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:36.119 Look, the SMP jumped one point five percent. Pretty good. 352 00:22:36.319 --> 00:23:03.000 All right, stay with us, sheik and Narula joins. So 353 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:05.960 she's been on before. She's fabulous. She's the head of 354 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:09.839 rewards at Bank of America. And guess what we're talking about. 355 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.400 This is something I've been having conversations about. In fact, 356 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.599 I mentioned something on the air the other day about this. 357 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.720 Nearly half of Americans are using rewards to fund summer travel. 358 00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:22.480 Are you doing that? She could? Thanks so much for 359 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:22.960 coming on. 360 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:25.119 Absolutely, it's my pleasure, Kate. 361 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.079 So what trends are you seeing this year when it 362 00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.359 comes to how people are planning those summer travel, making 363 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:35.799 those travel plans, and spending. 364 00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:39.880 Yeah, so this summer we're seeing Americans are saying yes 365 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.759 to travel. Our survey found that seventy seven percent of 366 00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:47.400 Americans are planning to travel this summer. So what that 367 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:50.480 tells you is that despite many Americans cutting back on 368 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:53.720 their spending, travel has actually become a regular part of 369 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.880 that of their budgets, and that's something people are planning around. 370 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.920 And of course there's a lot of excitement major events 371 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:05.079 and experiences like the series FIFA World Cup. Not only 372 00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:07.839 are people saying they'll travel, but they're also planning to 373 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.359 head out of the country. So while domestic travel remains 374 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:14.920 the most popular choice, we're seeing interest in international travel 375 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.440 has increased year over year. And then what we're seeing 376 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.640 is Americans are chasing values and experiences while on a trip. 377 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.720 So the dominant philosophy in twenty twenty six is make 378 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.000 it worth it. So while they want to stay within 379 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.160 their budget, when they choose to splurge, it is on 380 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:36.200 things that they'll remember, like dining, activities and experiences. So 381 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.799 those are some of the travel trends from the summer. 382 00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.519 What are the best travel savings hacks that you can 383 00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:43.759 tell us about for the summer. 384 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:49.039 It all starts with setting a very clear budget before 385 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.119 you book anything, so you know what your boundaries are 386 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.440 and within that then you can prioritize what matters most 387 00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:58.440 to you, so lock in those musters those must have 388 00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.119 and then you can die back a little bit on 389 00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.599 those splurges that may be a little less important to you. 390 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.960 The second thing is flexibility is always your friends, So 391 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.279 use flexible dates for flights, look at hotels that have 392 00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.119 free cancelations so you can rebook in case the price drops. 393 00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:20.359 The same flexibility applies to how you travel, so shorter, 394 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:25.160 more frequent micro trips, micro vacations. That's a growing trend 395 00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.200 ver seeing the gen zs. And then last we tap 396 00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:32.200 into rewards. Rewards are a very smart way to offset 397 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:35.079 costs without taking on new debts, so make sure you're 398 00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:37.440 building rewards into your plan from the beginning. 399 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.279 Love it. 400 00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.960 Are there notable differences across generations and how people are 401 00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:46.200
