Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
Speaker 1: with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 1: It's time for your morning wake up call.
Speaker 3: Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1: It is five o'clock, straight up, good morning. It's Monday,
Speaker 1: June thirtieth. Yep, June is gone. Another one bites the dust.
Speaker 1: I swear time is flying. Help get a great weekend.
Speaker 1: I will tell you I channeled my inner chef over
Speaker 1: the weekend. Don't uh oh will. It was a good thing.
Speaker 1: So I was watching the chef, not the chef. I
Speaker 1: was watching the bear, and I guess it inspired me.
Speaker 1: I put together this charcuterie board and it turned out
Speaker 1: so cool. And then I made this salad and I
Speaker 1: made my own dressing. I didn't use store dressing, made
Speaker 1: it with hot honey and peaches and chicken. I was
Speaker 1: pretty proud of myself. It was actually surprisingly good. I
Speaker 1: was like, this could be really gross, but it turned
Speaker 1: out great anyway. So I hope you had an inspirational
Speaker 1: weekend as well. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call.
Speaker 1: The Senate is gonna start it so called Bodherama on
Speaker 1: President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. This morning, Senate clerks completed
Speaker 1: the full reading of the tax and Spending package on
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday afternoon, nine hundred and forty pages. They
Speaker 1: had to read the whole thing out loud. That cleared
Speaker 1: the way for up to twenty hours of debate. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be checking in with ABC's Karen Travers in just
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes to find out if the President
Speaker 1: can get this one across the finish line. A man
Speaker 1: believed to have killed two firefighters and injured a third
Speaker 1: has been found dead. Investigators say the guy set a
Speaker 1: brush near Corda Lane, Idaho, and ambushed firefighters. About three
Speaker 1: hundred police officers descended on the area and exchange gunfire
Speaker 1: with the guy. His name has not been released, but
Speaker 1: apparently a gun has been found at the scene. ABC's
Speaker 1: Jim Ryan, who's from Idaho's going to join us with
Speaker 1: the latest sets coming up at five twenty Lebron James
Speaker 1: is going to return to the Lakers for his record
Speaker 1: setting twenty third NBA seasons. Agencies, the forty year old
Speaker 1: will exercise his fifty two million dollar player option. James
Speaker 1: could have taken a pay cut to help the Lakers
Speaker 1: add free agent talent to the roster. Reportedly, he declined.
Speaker 1: Up with the fourth of July right around the corner,
Speaker 1: the nightly barrage of fireworks already underway. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: Sunday night boom or not, Actually it was Saturday that
Speaker 1: was worth just boom, boom, boom, And then of course
Speaker 1: my ring camera, the notifications start going crazy. Did everybody
Speaker 1: hear that boom? Did you hear that boom? I'm just
Speaker 1: like dude, It's fourth of July. Okay, pets are not
Speaker 1: happy about it. We're going to be joined by internationally
Speaker 1: known animal trainer Mighty Harriet on how you can keep
Speaker 1: your animals safe and calm for the fireworks. Let's get
Speaker 1: started with some of the stories coming out of the
Speaker 1: KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Evacuations have been ordered in
Speaker 1: parts of the Inland Empire because of several wildfires burning
Speaker 1: in the area. At least five were burning yesterday, creating
Speaker 1: smoky conditions across riverside in San Bernardino Counties. The largest
Speaker 1: fire in Banning has burned eleven hundred and sixty five
Speaker 1: acres and is zero percent surrounded. Several neighborhoods are under
Speaker 1: evacuation orders. A fire and riverside near Corona was stopped
Speaker 1: at just over eighty three acres. Other smaller fires are
Speaker 1: still burning in San Bernardino and in the Silverwood Lake area.
Speaker 1: News brought to you by Sit and Sleep. An argument
Speaker 1: has led to a shooting in Long Beach. Police were
Speaker 1: called yesterday about a man who said he had been
Speaker 1: shot in a parking lot and then drove himself to
Speaker 1: the hospital. Hours earlier, in Long Beach, a man was
Speaker 1: stabbed near Granada Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. Both men are
Speaker 1: expected to survive. The Los Angeles Urban Policy round Table
Speaker 1: is calling for emergency action over what it says is
Speaker 1: a plague of hit and run deaths in South LA.
Speaker 1: Round Table president Earl Aafari Hutchison says city officials have
Speaker 1: to declare a hit and run state of emergency because
Speaker 1: of the surge of killings.
Speaker 4: We've had a continuous surge and hit the one.
Speaker 5: Accidents, killings, drivings, and then a course no one sees anything.
Speaker 1: He says. The latest hit and run killing happened a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago when a bicyclist was hit by a
Speaker 1: speeding camaro on Century Boulevard near San Pedro Street. Two
Speaker 1: men with buckets have gone on a felony fishing expedition
Speaker 1: in Yukaipa. Balis say the guys stole dozens of koi
Speaker 1: from a pond outside the Oak House restaurant. One of
Speaker 1: the alleged fish felons has been arrested, Billy say. Surveillance
Speaker 1: videos shows the pair making multiple trips to haul off
Speaker 1: the colorful carp Eighty five fish were taken, each of
Speaker 1: them worth up to fifteen hundred dollars. Let's say good
Speaker 1: morning now too. ABC's Karen Travers Karen, President Trump pushing
Speaker 1: to get his so called big beautiful bill passed by
Speaker 1: the fourth of July.
Speaker 3: Where are we now, Yeah, they're going to move forward
Speaker 3: on it. It's a big roller coroaster.
Speaker 6: This week.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens in the Senate. But over the
Speaker 3: weekend they voted to move toward debate on the bill.
Speaker 3: But even that was full of dramatics when you had
Speaker 3: Senator Ram Paul of Kentucky, Republican voting against it, Senator
Speaker 3: Tom Tillis of North Carolina, Republican voting against moving forward
Speaker 3: towards debate, and so they barely got it across the
Speaker 3: finish line to that point. That's what the President with
Speaker 3: heralding is a big victory over the weekend just getting
Speaker 3: to the point of debating the legislation. And Tillis caused
Speaker 3: quite a big surprise over the weekend in DC when
Speaker 3: after he voted against that legislation moving forward, he was
Speaker 3: criticized by the President, who threatened to push for a
Speaker 3: primary challenger against him in his next re election. Tillis
Speaker 3: said he wouldn't seek reelection, maybe seeing the writing on
Speaker 3: the wall of how difficult that could be for him.
Speaker 3: And Tillis now has come out very strongly publicly criticizing
Speaker 3: the bill, maybe because he feels free to be more
Speaker 3: open about it now that he is not running for
Speaker 3: reelection next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Karen, So that reminded me that there have been
Speaker 1: several lawmakers who have announced that they're not running again,
Speaker 1: and it's been on both sides. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have this information, is it is it more
Speaker 1: than normal or is it just that they're just like going,
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't do this anymore and thrown
Speaker 1: up their hands and say them.
Speaker 3: Out Yeah, I don't have the numbers on that. I'd
Speaker 3: have to look into that for you to see how
Speaker 3: many and whether or not it's a part of the
Speaker 3: course at this point.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Tillis is speaking out against it. Elon Musk
Speaker 1: came out with a rather scathing tweet over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, you know, the cuts to wind and
Speaker 3: solar incentives were or are utterly insane and destructive. He
Speaker 3: has criticized the bill after the estimates, but the partisan
Speaker 3: Congressional Budget Office say that it's going to add more
Speaker 3: than three trillion dollars to the national debt. That's been
Speaker 3: a concern from some Republican lawmakers too. So you know, again,
Speaker 3: we're kind of in an interesting pattern now to see
Speaker 3: where this goes. You had Republicans who voted to move
Speaker 3: forward on the debate this weekend, but may not necessarily
Speaker 3: like the legislation itself. So we're keeping a close eye
Speaker 3: on some of them as we get closer to a
Speaker 3: potential final package.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then we know that there are some votes
Speaker 1: coming up, is that what are those votes? Are those
Speaker 1: votes on the proposed changes by the Senate or what.
Speaker 3: The Senate has their own bill they have completely rewritten
Speaker 3: the legislation from what the House has passed. They have
Speaker 3: their own bill. They're going to vote on their bill,
Speaker 3: and then it would go over to the House, and
Speaker 3: the question would be does the House just take it
Speaker 3: up as is, you know, kind of swallow it and say, fine,
Speaker 3: we're just going to do this and vote straight up
Speaker 3: on what the Senate passed, or could you have some
Speaker 3: very grumbly House members don't like it. They have been
Speaker 3: pretty public. There's enough over there who have said that
Speaker 3: they don't like what the Senate has passed and could
Speaker 3: say that they would take it and want to go
Speaker 3: back to what they passed, which is very different, and
Speaker 3: they would have to then reconcile the differences. Yeah, June,
Speaker 3: it could be a very lot of wonkiness in Washington
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 1: We love wonky, and Speaker Johnson had come out and
Speaker 1: say and said to the Senate, don't make any changes.
Speaker 1: It was like so hard to get this.
Speaker 3: Passed right, right, and that was never going to happen.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, you know how this works. It's the
Speaker 3: House went and did their work and then they passed
Speaker 3: it by one vote, and of course the Senate was
Speaker 3: going to make changes, and even getting to this point
Speaker 3: was very, very difficult, and it's not even the guarantee
Speaker 3: of getting it across the finish line at this point
Speaker 3: because there's still some you know, frustrations on different lawmakers
Speaker 3: right now of what they do or do not like
Speaker 3: in this. So they tuned. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: All right, ABC, Scaren Travers, thanks so much for the information,
Speaker 1: and we'll stay tuned and hopefully talk to you again soon.
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, let's get back to some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: This was a total ambush.
Speaker 3: These firefighters did not have a chance.
Speaker 1: At least two firefighters had been killed another was shot
Speaker 1: when they were ambushed fighting a fire near Cordelaine, Idaho.
Speaker 1: The firefighters were responding to a small fire in the
Speaker 1: mountains yesterday afternoon when a sniper opened fire. Officers descended
Speaker 1: on the area and fired at the man, who was
Speaker 1: later found dead and a gun was found.
Speaker 3: Based on the preliminary information, we believe that is the
Speaker 3: only shooter that was on that mountain at that time.
Speaker 1: The local sheriff said that yesterday they were letting the
Speaker 1: fire burn and no one was fighting it because of
Speaker 1: the sniper. A week after the US airstrikes on three
Speaker 1: nuclear facilities in Iran, it's still not clear if any
Speaker 1: nuclear material was moved before the strikes. House Democratic Leader
Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffries is questioning why the administration did not get
Speaker 1: congression authorization, he says was required by the constitution. I
Speaker 1: still haven't seen facts presented to us as a Congress
Speaker 1: to justify that step. He also questions whether Tehran posed
Speaker 1: an imminent threat. Deliberations are expected to begin today in
Speaker 1: the racketeering and sex trafficking trial of former music mogul
Speaker 1: Sean Combs in New York. Attorney Brian Buckmeyer says heavy
Speaker 1: penalties could be doled out in the case.
Speaker 2: If someone's found guilty of a rico conspiracy, they don't
Speaker 2: just try to incarcerate the person. They try to dismantle
Speaker 2: that rico financially, all the homes, everything financially. We heard
Speaker 2: about the trial, the government could take that.
Speaker 1: Closing arguments were presented on Thursday and Friday. The president
Speaker 1: of El Salvador has threatened to send inmates from its
Speaker 1: notorious megaprison over to France because of criticism during Paris
Speaker 1: Fashion Week of El Salvador's treatment of the prisoners. A
Speaker 1: collection at the show had models wearing outfits resembling inmate
Speaker 1: uniforms at El Salvador's Terrorism con Confinement Center or Seacott.
Speaker 1: Human rights groups have raised concerns about poor conditions at
Speaker 1: the prison and a lack of due process. Chrysler is
Speaker 1: recalling more than a quarter million of its vehicles.
Speaker 4: Chrysler is voluntarily recalling some of its twenty twenty two
Speaker 4: to twenty five Pacificas and voyagers to replace their side
Speaker 4: curtain air bags if needed.
Speaker 1: ABC's Chuck Siefertson says there are concerns that some of
Speaker 1: the airbags may not maintain sufficient pressure to inflate during
Speaker 1: a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that
Speaker 1: could increase the risk of passengers or two passengers in
Speaker 1: certain crashes. Travel experts say they're expecting a lot of
Speaker 1: people to take Independence Day road trips. More than seventy
Speaker 1: two million could be on the road for the fourth
Speaker 1: of July. ABC's Faith Abu Ba says the Auto club
Speaker 1: has cited some relief at the gas pump.
Speaker 3: Gas prices are now the lowest on average around this
Speaker 3: time period. Compared to what it was in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: The national average is three eighteen a gallon. In California,
Speaker 1: prices are going up because of tax and fee increases
Speaker 1: that kick in tomorrow. The state average today four p
Speaker 1: fifty nine a gallon. That could change a lot tomorrow.
Speaker 1: The big Summer block party on the Fourth of July
Speaker 1: in downtown LA has been postponed. Officials say the celebration
Speaker 1: at Gloria Molina Grand Park is being put off because
Speaker 1: of ongoing ice raids. Fourth of July celebrations have also
Speaker 1: been canceled in predominantly Hispanic communities Bell Gardens, Cuta, hay
Speaker 1: Boil Heights, El Cerino, Lincoln Heights, and Northeast LA. A
Speaker 1: mountain lion nursed back to health after surviving being hit
Speaker 1: by a car, has been released back into the wild.
Speaker 1: San Diego Humane Society says the mountain lion was hit
Speaker 1: nearly five months ago and suffered a skull fracture, I
Speaker 1: trauma and had an injured leg, but she's all better now.
Speaker 1: She's ten month old and was released into a remote
Speaker 1: area of the Santa Anna Mountains in Orange County. It
Speaker 1: was dad to the rescue when a girl on a
Speaker 1: Disney cruise went overboard. The girl fell off the ship
Speaker 1: yesterday as it headed back to Fort Lauderdale from the Bahamas.
Speaker 1: Her dad jumped in and with the help of rescue cruise,
Speaker 1: they were able to save her. Now they're investigating why
Speaker 1: the girl went overboard in the first place. Let's say
Speaker 1: good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, this isn't
Speaker 1: supposed to happen to firefighters. Tell us about the fire
Speaker 1: in the mountains of Idaho and what happened.
Speaker 4: Well, right yesterday about midday Sunday in the Canfield Mountain,
Speaker 4: which is outside of Quarterlane, firefighters got a report of
Speaker 4: fire out there, a brush fire in the woods, and
Speaker 4: so they did what firefighters do and responded out there
Speaker 4: and almost immediately came under fire. So what it was
Speaker 4: shooting at A sniper in the woods shot and killed
Speaker 4: two firefighters, wounded a third. That third one has been
Speaker 4: through has been through surgery and is expected to rick
Speaker 4: cover from his wounds. We believe that there are three
Speaker 4: male firefighters. Now the investigators swarmed into the area some
Speaker 4: three hundred law enforcers to try to find the person responsible.
Speaker 4: They had a pretty good piece of technology to help
Speaker 4: them in that search. Amy, they saw a cell signal,
Speaker 4: a constant cell signal coming from Canfield Mountain. They were
Speaker 4: able to use equipment loaded onto a helicopter pinpoint the
Speaker 4: area where that cell signal was located. Law enforcers responded
Speaker 4: to that specific area. There was a gunfight and exchange
Speaker 4: gunfire with the suspected gunman. The body of that man
Speaker 4: was later found with a rifle nearby. Now we don't
Speaker 4: know whether he died of a self inflicted wound or
Speaker 4: whether some one of the officers who was responding out
Speaker 4: there fired the fatal shot. We hoped to learn that
Speaker 4: more about that later today, Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay and Jim, you said, like three hundred officers descended
Speaker 1: on the area. Do we know if the shots fired
Speaker 1: were from one of those officers or several of those officers,
Speaker 1: or did they come from the helicopter or is there
Speaker 1: just too soon to tell?
Speaker 4: Too soon at this point to tell, But you know,
Speaker 4: I suspect that the investigators who found the body probably
Speaker 4: have a good idea of whether this was self inflicted
Speaker 4: or shots came from outside. They haven't said yet. They
Speaker 4: probably also have a good idea of who this person
Speaker 4: was considering that they had to sell information to follow,
Speaker 4: so it's just hard to save it. Yeah, three hundred
Speaker 4: line forces from around Idaho, from Washington State. This is
Speaker 4: close to the Washington state border, and probably some I
Speaker 4: suspect from Montana flowed over into that area.
Speaker 1: Okay, And do we know it was reported as a
Speaker 1: small fire. They think he said it and then was
Speaker 1: just sort of lying in wait for them. Do we
Speaker 1: know how many fire crews were headed out to the scene.
Speaker 4: Apparently just the one. You know, this was a relatively
Speaker 4: small fire, wasn't huge, and it was enough that this
Speaker 4: one crew was supposed to be able to handle. You're right,
Speaker 4: I mean, the most shocking part of the story is
Speaker 4: that this gunman apparently set that fire himself, set it
Speaker 4: intentionally to draw in these first responders and then to
Speaker 4: open fire once they were in range. So he has
Speaker 4: still a lot to learn about history. And unfortunately, since
Speaker 4: the suspected gunman is dead, we might not ever have
Speaker 4: all the answers.
Speaker 1: Hamy, I know, I when I got in this morning
Speaker 1: and I was going through the wires and stuff, I said,
Speaker 1: oh man, he's dead. Are we ever going to figure
Speaker 1: out why he did this? But maybe he'll be like
Speaker 1: so many where they leave letters and behind and talk
Speaker 1: about their frustrations or whatever kind of drove them away
Speaker 1: the edge.
Speaker 4: So but I suspect that's where the investigation is going
Speaker 4: to go, is to find whether whatever physical notes or
Speaker 4: writings this person might have left behind or whatever you know,
Speaker 4: online postings he might have left. So there's still a
Speaker 4: lot of clues to look at.
Speaker 1: Okay. And then one other thing that I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask you about. I'm not sure if you have the
Speaker 1: answer to this, but the sheriff had said yesterday after
Speaker 1: this happened, so as of like last night, he would say, hey,
Speaker 1: we're not fighting the fire because we can't send crews
Speaker 1: out there. Do we know is that fire still burning
Speaker 1: if they put cruise back out on there, or are
Speaker 1: they just kind of letting it burn at this point?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did that. I mean they just suspended the
Speaker 4: firefighting operation at that point. It was a matter of
Speaker 4: safety for the firefighters and then of course issuing a
Speaker 4: shelter in place order to anybody who lives in that area.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think the fire was finally brought under
Speaker 4: control after the body was found, the body of the
Speaker 4: gunment and then the sheltering place has been lifted as well.
Speaker 1: All right, so many questions still to be answered. Hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll get those in the coming days and weeks. Jim Ryan, ABC,
Speaker 1: thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1: All right, take care. All right, let's get back to
Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
Speaker 1: four hour newsroom. Three people have been hurt in a
Speaker 1: fire and Eagle Rock. The fire started about four thirty
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon on Sharon Avenue near the one thirty four.
Speaker 1: It took nearly one hundred LA City firefighters over forty
Speaker 1: five minutes to put it out out. A man was
Speaker 1: treated for burn injuries. Two women suffered from smoke inhalation.
Speaker 1: An admission by SoCal Edison in connection with the fire
Speaker 1: in Silmar in January could be used against it in
Speaker 1: another lawsuit. The La Times reports. Attorneys say Edison's admission
Speaker 1: that its equipment might have started the Hurst fire could
Speaker 1: also be applied to another fire in the same area
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. The lawyers say the Saddle Ridge fire
Speaker 1: started the same way. Both fires were ignited under an
Speaker 1: Edison high voltage power line in Silmar. Health experts are
Speaker 1: asking why a newly appointed CDC Advisory Committee is recommending
Speaker 1: against flu vaccines that contain the preservative dimerisol. Doctor Fiona
Speaker 1: Havers resigned from the CDC this month. She says the
Speaker 1: recommendation could mean potential changes to kids vaccination. It could
Speaker 1: potentially cut off access and cut off insurance coverage for
Speaker 1: these vaccines. She says. The committee is now saying it
Speaker 1: will look back at safe and effective vaccines that have
Speaker 1: been thoroughly reviewed. President Trump says he is not worried
Speaker 1: about jobs being lost to artificial intelligence. He told Fox
Speaker 1: News that he understands the need for the emerging technology
Speaker 1: and how it's replacing some American workers, but he insists
Speaker 1: there is a solution. One thing, very simple. Bring more
Speaker 1: companies in more jobs.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The truth is we don't have enough people to take
Speaker 1: care of these jebs. The President says job losses are
Speaker 1: going to be offset by more companies coming to the
Speaker 1: US because his tariffs are leveling the playing field. Two
Speaker 1: new studies show people are eating less fast food. Health
Speaker 1: expert doctor Darien Sutton says more people are making healthier
Speaker 1: food choices these days.
Speaker 7: This new data from the CDC National Center on Health Statistics.
Speaker 7: It looks at the average amount of fast food the
Speaker 7: percent of calories that comes from that diet, and found
Speaker 7: that right now we're down to nearly eleven point four percent.
Speaker 1: He says. A decade ago that was his highest fourteen percent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: more people are doing what I did and making a
Speaker 1: healthy salad for dinner on a Saturday night, and even
Speaker 1: make my own dressing. No oil used, just lemon juice
Speaker 1: and hot honey. It was so good, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: talking about it for weeks. Rose petals and cash have
Speaker 1: rained down on a block party in Detroit to celebrate
Speaker 1: a member of the community known for his generosity. Darryl Thomas,
Speaker 1: was fifty eight years old. He died a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. His sons organized a helicopter ride on Friday,
Speaker 1: and during the ride they dropped five thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: flowers over the party. They say it was a final
Speaker 1: expression of love from their father to the community because
Speaker 1: he was a giver. Tomorrow, the Dodgers take on the
Speaker 1: White Sox at Dodgers Stadium. First pitch is going to

Speaker 1: the IE because because of several wildfires. At least five
Speaker 1: were burning yesterday, creating some smoky conditions across riverside in
Speaker 1: San Bernardino Counties. The largest fire in Banning has burned
Speaker 1: nearly twelve hundred acres and is zero percent contained or surrounded.
Speaker 1: A man's been arrested for posing as an ice agent
Speaker 1: in Huntington Park. Police say the guy was in possession
Speaker 1: of an unlicensed gun, copies of US Homeland Security removal
Speaker 1: notices in a list of radio codes for customs and
Speaker 1: border protection. The arrest happened last week after police found
Speaker 1: the guy in a silver Dodged Urrango with tinted windows
Speaker 1: illegally parked in a handicap zoned. Expect the roads to
Speaker 1: be packed for this Fourth of July holiday. Triple A
Speaker 1: says more than seventy two million Americans expected to hit
Speaker 1: the road. The busiest travel days will be on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: July second shoot. I was going to drive on Wednesday
Speaker 1: and on Sunday, July sixth, TSA says it's expecting to
Speaker 1: green more than eighteen million travelers between Tuesday and the
Speaker 1: following Monday at six oh five. It's handle on the news.
Speaker 1: One hurdle down, but there's a long way to go
Speaker 1: to get that big beautiful bill passed. As the president
Speaker 1: is calling for. Hey, I wanted to share with this.
Speaker 1: I got a letter from a listener absolutely made my day.
Speaker 1: So last week we were talking because I told you
Speaker 1: that it was five years since I had my surgery
Speaker 1: because I had colon cancer. But it's five years and
Speaker 1: it's all done. And so my big thing now is
Speaker 1: to encourage you to go and get a colonoscopy. Nothing
Speaker 1: nobody wants to do it. It's not super fun, but
Speaker 1: it can literally save your life. So I got a
Speaker 1: note from Sharon that said, Hey, Amy, wanted to thank
Speaker 1: you for continuing to encourage everyone to get their colonoscopies
Speaker 1: and to share your experience. Due to you, I stopped
Speaker 1: rebelling and just had my colonoscopy done like you promised.
Speaker 1: It was nothing to fear, she says. I wasn't worried
Speaker 1: about the prep, but being put to sleep, and honestly,
Speaker 1: the fear that they mind find something was what kept
Speaker 1: her from doing it. She said. At fifty eight she
Speaker 1: planned to rebel and avoid this at all out costs.
Speaker 1: She had it done. They found a polyp, they removed
Speaker 1: it tested. It turned out to be the type that
Speaker 1: if not removed and left to grow, probably would have
Speaker 1: turned into cancer. There's two different kinds of polyps. She says.
Speaker 1: She's extremely thankful that she actually listened to me and
Speaker 1: now she's on the three year plan. I am too, Sharon,
Speaker 1: She said, thank you your story, encouragement and actions may
Speaker 1: have saved my life. I'm so happy to hear that.
Speaker 1: Sharon absolutely made my day. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: Go get your kolonoscopy's done. Please. I know his newspeople,
Speaker 1: we're not supposed to tell you what to do, but
Speaker 1: on this one, I'm telling you, please get it done.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get in your business, shall we, and
Speaker 1: welcome back Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Morning, court Hey, good morning.

Speaker 5: trillion dollars. Now in Vidia is close to becoming the
Speaker 5: first company to reach four trillion dollars unbelievable quadrupled their
Speaker 5: money and how long exactly? And what a change in
Speaker 5: sentiment from earlier this year. Remember when we all talked
Speaker 5: about the fear of Chinese chatbots deep seat when they
Speaker 5: came out. They said, when that emerged, everybody went way.
Speaker 5: It costs a lot less money, because that's what they said.
Speaker 5: Their AI model cost a lot less to create than
Speaker 5: a lot of the Western rivals. So that made investors worried.
Speaker 5: Are these big companies like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet are
Speaker 5: they going to continue to invest more money into artificial
Speaker 5: intelligence infrastructure? But it seems when we look at the numbers,
Speaker 5: they definitely are. And that's what's powering in Vidia higher
Speaker 5: and higher. So it's what a move for that company
Speaker 5: over the past couple of years, and now it's valued
Speaker 5: it's the most valuable company, moving ahead of Microsoft.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Another one that I missed out on. What is it?
Speaker 1: What is a share of Nvidia goo for these days?
Speaker 1: We know?
Speaker 5: Ooh yeah, and let me get that for you. That's
Speaker 5: the power of the Bloomberg terminal because you can find
Speaker 5: all these things.
Speaker 1: Very very lockally.
Speaker 5: So right now, if you're looking at shares, it is
Speaker 5: trading at one hundred and fifty seven dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not too bad. Okay, not too bad bad,
Speaker 1: but still a lot of money. You're going to come
Speaker 1: and think about it. Okay, if you're looking for a
Speaker 1: new car and maybe you want to buy American and
Speaker 1: get a Ford, it might take some extra time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because there's been factory freezes coming to Ford. Uh,
Speaker 5: they've had to temporarily idle some of its factories over
Speaker 5: the last three weeks. So here, Yeah, idol stopped them
Speaker 5: from a movement because Ford has been trying to manage
Speaker 5: through this shortage of these high powered magnets that contain
Speaker 5: rare earth minerals. Now, the supply of these components they've
Speaker 5: been trickling slowly out of China. There was some deal
Speaker 5: that happened, but it's still coming a little too slowly
Speaker 5: for Ford, and Ford's CEO Jim Farley said that the
Speaker 5: situation demonstrates the need to develop a domestic supply chain
Speaker 5: for critical auto components. And I mean these magnets are
Speaker 5: pretty much in everything. They're in the seats, they're in
Speaker 5: the windshill wipers, they're in the windows, they're in everything.
Speaker 1: So they really need this in order to move their
Speaker 1: their business forward. Okay, so expect delays, Just don't head
Speaker 1: down to the dealership and expect to drive off the
Speaker 1: lot right away. Maybe yes, Okay, Nike has hit a
Speaker 1: rough patch, but they're ready to move on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and investors are pretty excited about it. Shares of
Speaker 5: Nike jump more than fifteen percent on Friday, So yeah.
Speaker 5: CEO Elliott Hill, he came out and said, we expect
Speaker 5: the business results to improve from here. Before Friday, Nike
Speaker 5: stock lost a third of its value over the past
Speaker 5: year because they've had a lot of missteps that cost
Speaker 5: the company a lot of sales. So Nike's right now
Speaker 5: in the think of this turnaround. They've been trying to
Speaker 5: invest more in their business, which they weren't really doing
Speaker 5: for a good long time. And then they're also we're
Speaker 5: focusing on sports instead of livestock products like those street sneakers,
Speaker 5: as they want to focus more on the athletic sneakers
Speaker 5: and getting the athlete back into the fold. So it
Speaker 5: seems that it's working for them so far. And they
Speaker 5: said this is a low point. We're going to move
Speaker 5: forward from here and it's only going to be bigger
Speaker 5: and better. Well, that's what they say, we'll see if
Speaker 5: it actually happens.
Speaker 1: We will wait and see and before we let you go,
Speaker 1: what are we looking at stocks today?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So what a while year. We have to think about it.
Speaker 5: I can't believe that we're halfway through twenty twenty five
Speaker 5: and we had this tumultuous first half of the year.
Speaker 5: You can't forget about what happened with April. But now
Speaker 5: we're ending with stocks at a record and behind these
Speaker 5: moves talks with a dozen key training partners, they appear
Speaker 5: to be making some progress. We also had the de
Speaker 5: escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran. That's powering
Speaker 5: stocks hire. So stock's at a record and right now
Speaker 5: when we're taking a look at Dow futures, they were
Speaker 5: up two hundred nineteen points right now. And we also
Speaker 5: had breaking news on a deal. Home Depot has agreed
Speaker 5: to acquire specialty building products distributor GMS four point three
Speaker 5: billion dollars as a price tag now gmsls wallboard, steel, framing,
Speaker 5: other construction products. But what Home Depot wants to do
Speaker 5: is they want to grab more spending from professional contractors.
Speaker 1: That's where they're going. That's the direction of their business.
Speaker 1: All right, We'll keep watching them then, Courtney, Donahoe, Bloomberg
Speaker 1: in your business every day at five point forty. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Definitely, see you later.
Speaker 1: Glad to be back, thanks, Cortney. Evacuation orders are in

Speaker 1: morning on President Trump's so called Big Beautiful Bill. Debate
Speaker 1: began yesterday after Senate clerks finished reading the full nine
Speaker 1: hundred and forty page bill out loud as required by
Speaker 1: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Not clear if the Republicans
Speaker 1: have the votes they need to get it passed. F
Speaker 1: one has crossed the finish line in first place at
Speaker 1: the box office. Brad Pitt's racer movie took in more
Speaker 1: than fifty five million dollars in its opening weekend. How
Speaker 1: to Train Your Dragon was second in its third weekend.
Speaker 1: If release earning more than nineteen million dollars just minutes
Speaker 1: away from handle. On the news this morning, Republican Senator
Speaker 1: Tom Tillis has gone against the President on that big
Speaker 1: beautiful bill, and now he's saying, yep, I'm out bill.
Speaker 1: It's gonna have something to say about that. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning to internationally known animal trainer Heidi Harriet. Heidi,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 6: Good morning, Thanks for having me on this morning.
Speaker 1: Thanks for starting your day early with us today. So
Speaker 1: the booms have already started. Fireworks started going off on
Speaker 1: my neighborhood on Saturday night. Of course they're going to
Speaker 1: hit Fever Pitch on Friday. And while I love the
Speaker 1: sound and sight of the rocket's red glare, animals hate it.
Speaker 6: Some animals do. But if we think back, fireworks aren't
Speaker 6: new and pets aren't new, but it's become epic proportions
Speaker 6: of people getting worried about it and having a lot
Speaker 6: of anxiety. And I always tell people, if you told
Speaker 6: me two weeks ago you know your pet's going to
Speaker 6: react to fireworks, I can guarantee you they will because
Speaker 6: they're really taking their cues from us. So this is
Speaker 6: a training thing we could train our way forward. There,
Speaker 6: of course thundervests and drugs and stuff, but that just
Speaker 6: masks the problem. We want our animals to look at
Speaker 6: us when they're not sure what to do. So if
Speaker 6: your animal is not tipping it set up and looking
Speaker 6: at you to say, oh my gosh, this is scary,
Speaker 6: what should I do, then we could train our way forward.
Speaker 6: So we have you said, yours have already kind of started,
Speaker 6: but we have a couple of days before what might
Speaker 6: be the crescendo. So put on you too, and play fireworks,
Speaker 6: Play thunderstorms. I'm in Florida, we have thunderstorms. Same thing.
Speaker 6: Play it at a lower volume and up the volume
Speaker 6: a few minutes at a time. Do a little training.
Speaker 6: But put your dog on a leash, don't let them scurry,
Speaker 6: and just feed on their nervous energy. Keep them with you,
Speaker 6: stay in their brain, have them rollover, sit, stay like,
Speaker 6: run through their repertoire, play fetch. Put on something that
Speaker 6: calms you down, or it gets you in a calmer state,
Speaker 6: because your dog is going to really bounce off of that.
Speaker 6: That's what's important.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Heidi, that's so interesting. So you said that
Speaker 1: as we get more nervous about what howard dogs or
Speaker 1: cats are going to react. They get more nervous because
Speaker 1: they're feeding off of our emotion.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, we're the leader of the pack and we're not
Speaker 6: necessarily you know, we get more emotional. Now, it's okay,
Speaker 6: you're fine, it's okay. And when I'm helping my clients,
Speaker 6: it's always a quick fix. It's the reinforcement of the fix.
Speaker 6: So just get in the habit of being much more. Hey,
Speaker 6: look at me, Rover, Hey, Fluffy, look up here, look
Speaker 6: at me, give me your eyes. We're good. We got this,
Speaker 6: and that's the way forward. So yeah, but roleplay it
Speaker 6: between now and then, you know, put on YouTube and
Speaker 6: keep them with you. A big takeaway here. It is
Speaker 6: the biggest day for lost pets and escape pets. So please,
Speaker 6: even if your dog loves the backyard with a fence,
Speaker 6: don't put them out during the fireworks. Even the best
Speaker 6: trained pets. Bring them in, keep them calm, right, keep
Speaker 6: them safe, because you don't want them to get away
Speaker 6: on you. That's that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you obviously they still have to go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom during the fireworks, So you're saying, just
Speaker 1: don't let them out in the backyard, like take them
Speaker 1: out on a leash and let them do their things.
Speaker 6: You would ahead of time. You know, most dogs can
Speaker 6: hold you know, a few hours at a time.
Speaker 1: So you haven't been to fireworks in La.
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, but there's a point where as long as
Speaker 6: you have them on a leash. But I mean, like
Speaker 6: if they just love to go in and out of
Speaker 6: their dog door, like my dog during fireworks, I just
Speaker 6: closed that door. But you know, I'm still gonna take
Speaker 6: them out to body. But in the morning, I'm going
Speaker 6: to get some good exercise for him and I and
Speaker 6: you know that we're really relying on the drugs. And
Speaker 6: again occasionally it's fine. I'm third generation entertainer and I've
Speaker 6: had my animals all over the country. County fairs love
Speaker 6: their fireworks. My animals look up and go, oh, here
Speaker 6: we go again. And because I'm giving them the guidance.
Speaker 6: And whether you have an older dog, young dog, cats,
Speaker 6: you can teach an old dog new tricks, a shelter dog,
Speaker 6: any of those. Don't give them a new story and
Speaker 6: move forward and get them to look at you. That's
Speaker 6: the secret behind all of the training.
Speaker 1: Okay, So remain calm and carry on. And I love
Speaker 1: the idea of getting the youtubes and just play those
Speaker 1: for a couple of days and let them, let them
Speaker 1: get used to that sound, and let them see you
Speaker 1: being calm too. Heidi Harriet, internationally known animal trainer. Such great,
Speaker 1: great advice. And we have a few days to get ready,
Speaker 1: even though they've already started here, but I think we can.
Speaker 1: We can do it, all right, Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: have a great day.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: That's great advice. I hadn't thought of that. I hadn't
Speaker 1: thought of that. And she's right, we all freak out,

Speaker 4: not cut.
Speaker 1: He says, the US is thirty seven trillion dollars in debt,
