Speaker 1: Buyers near Spokane, Washington had burned six hundred structures and
Speaker 1: for sixty thousand evacuations. That doesn't seem to be getting
Speaker 1: any better. I'm Kate Delaney. Even first at the top,
Speaker 1: we roll into the rundown here on America tonight. Sadly,
Speaker 1: one of the things that everybody they're talking about still
Speaker 1: is what happened at a brand new in and out
Speaker 1: fast food joint. And this happened in Idaho twin falls.
Speaker 1: Three people were killed, seven others injured. That happened Saturday
Speaker 1: where a gunman, twenty four year old Chad Williams, who's
Speaker 1: been identified, died of a self inflicted gun wound. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: outside in an ordinary parking lot filled with people who
Speaker 1: were charging their electric cars or waiting in the drive
Speaker 1: through line, even just kind of one of those fun,
Speaker 1: lazy Saturday afternoons, all of a sudden became very chaotic, Sadly,
Speaker 1: the crack of gunfire, people scrambling and screaming, calling nine
Speaker 1: one one and running for safety, and the realization that
Speaker 1: there was an active shooter, but there was somebody there.
Speaker 1: There was a customer who grabbed a gun, who had
Speaker 1: a gun and responded and went after the shooter, and
Speaker 1: so many who were there say that made such a
Speaker 1: big difference, including this one patron.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say he definitely distracted the shooter from
Speaker 2: shooting more people.
Speaker 3: The shooter was solely focused on him and allowed us
Speaker 3: to get out. I mean the car directory had to
Speaker 3: me was getting shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this wasn't a really busy commercial area. It
Speaker 1: was a stretch of the city's north side where you
Speaker 1: have hotels and retail stores and restaurants. Because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people that are tourists that are there, are
Speaker 1: residents that are there. It's to give you an idea
Speaker 1: of where it is. This beautiful place one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty miles southeast of Boise, and it is a hub
Speaker 1: for a lot of southern Idaho. It happened to thirty
Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. I'm sure we're going to hear more
Speaker 1: about that throughout the week. Meanwhile, all eyes are turned
Speaker 1: toward what is happening with Iran. The president says Iran
Speaker 1: war talks are going to resume on Monday. He called
Speaker 1: off the strikes. There's still was a ton of opinions
Speaker 1: about what he should do from the people on the
Speaker 1: hill including Republican Congressman from Ohio Mike Turner.
Speaker 4: Iran is in a position where they're going to have
Speaker 4: to come to a table. Whether it's economics, where it's
Speaker 4: energy production, whether it's the loss of critical infrastructure, military infrastructure,
Speaker 4: the loss of their military capabilities. All metrics would show
Speaker 4: a declining capability to continue. They're going to have to
Speaker 4: be in a position where ultimately they're going to have
Speaker 4: to concede to the opening of the straits and returning
Speaker 4: to commerce.
Speaker 1: Louisiana Senator of Republican as well, John Carey was part
Speaker 1: of the Sunday Sworld too, that's the political talking heads.
Speaker 1: He had his own take on Iran.
Speaker 5: I'm always willing to give piece a chance. Respectfully, I
Speaker 5: would remind President Trump of three things. Number One, the
Speaker 5: only reason that Ron is coming to the table, if
Speaker 5: indeed they are, is because Israel and the United States
Speaker 5: of America have have torn them a new ashtray. Number Two,
Speaker 5: no deal is just fine, not preferred, but not preferable,
Speaker 5: but it's fine. A bad deal is number Three. He
Speaker 5: has to remember that the Iranian government learned to lie
Speaker 5: before they learn to talk, and they're more than mildly insane.
Speaker 5: Dealing with them is like dealing with Shaun of Sham
Speaker 5: or Charles Mansion. Whatever he does, do not release the
Speaker 5: sanctions stopping their shale of oil or remove the blockade
Speaker 5: until we see Ron take firm actions to open the strait.
Speaker 1: And so with that, there is a lot of conversations
Speaker 1: about what is going to happen on Monday and what's
Speaker 1: going to happen the rest of this week. The President
Speaker 1: is saying that a plan was in place for US
Speaker 1: forces to carry out another big attack. In fact, he
Speaker 1: caught it the biggest attack since World War II on Sunday,
Speaker 1: but he decided to scrap the plan, like I said,
Speaker 1: and give diplomacy more time to kind of play out.
Speaker 1: After hearing from key golf leaders, including the Saudi Crown
Speaker 1: Prince Mohammed bin Salam Salaman and Solomon Rather, as well
Speaker 1: as the request of some others, he said that he
Speaker 1: would much prefer a deal as opposed to an attack,
Speaker 1: because you don't know where the attacks are going to leed.
Speaker 1: So this is another turnaround for the pres who a
Speaker 1: day earlier said he's losing faith and negotiating with Iran
Speaker 1: and offered ominous warnings that the US military would be
Speaker 1: hitting them pretty hard. So on Sunday it was exactly
Speaker 1: what you just heard there. He reiterated that the emerging
Speaker 1: deal would include a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,
Speaker 1: which of course you know is the critical body of
Speaker 1: water where about a fifth of all traded oil and
Speaker 1: natural gas flowed before the start of the war, and
Speaker 1: would resolve US concerns about Iran's nuclear program. So this
Speaker 1: is once again, I feel like I say this a lot,
Speaker 1: but this is a really really big week. What will change?
Speaker 1: What will be different that the answer is going to be, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's not going to be any strikes this week, and
Speaker 1: this is really moving completely in the right direction. I meanwhile,
Speaker 1: I mentioned this too that you talk about wildfires. Wow,
Speaker 1: now we got another big one, this one in Spokane,
Speaker 1: scorching acres and acres and acres. Six thousand acres and
Speaker 1: sixty thousand people have been evacuated. The containment that I
Speaker 1: have is less than five percent, less than five percent contained,
Speaker 1: and you know, they call it, they're calling it historic
Speaker 1: and saying that you know, they've got firefighters that are
Speaker 1: coming from all over to try and help. It's a
Speaker 1: state of emergence and see that's what they've been in
Speaker 1: now and it just is at that level three. It's
Speaker 1: the highest level in the state for an evac order,
Speaker 1: so you know that, and it's just a matter of
Speaker 1: keeping people safe and doing whatever they could or whatever
Speaker 1: they can to fight this fire, because you look at
Speaker 1: the Northwest and you've got seventy five percent of the
Speaker 1: fire fighting resources that are deployed across the nation, so
Speaker 1: looking for help, trying to get as many people in
Speaker 1: there as possible. The cause of the fire is still
Speaker 1: under investigation. That would kind of be normal unless there
Speaker 1: was something that was obvious. But boy, when you look
Speaker 1: at a fire map and you see there where it's
Speaker 1: just has bubbled up all over the place, I mean,
Speaker 1: it is really really scary. And of course wildfires have
Speaker 1: been a problem in other parts of the Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 1: Nearly thirty four thousand lightning strikes last month led to
Speaker 1: a series of fires and evac orders in the southern
Speaker 1: part of British Columbia. Events. So for the summer, about
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty thousand acres have burned in Washington State,
Speaker 1: and you know, you've got fifteen fires throughout the states
Speaker 1: so you got to think how many people are fighting
Speaker 1: these fires? You know what the estimate is, four thousand people.
Speaker 1: Four thousand people are doing that. Wow? All right? Coming
Speaker 1: up on the flip side, odds and ends, including a
Speaker 1: figure when it comes to movies, you're not gonna believe.
Speaker 1: That's next tier on atn.
Speaker 6: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
Speaker 6: with it. That sounds like something to look into, and
Speaker 6: that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
Speaker 6: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
Speaker 6: to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
Speaker 6: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
Speaker 6: after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
Speaker 6: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
Speaker 7: Double.
Speaker 6: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
Speaker 6: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
Speaker 6: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
Speaker 6: PPO network. So yeah, real, you can save a ton
Speaker 6: and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
Speaker 6: taking care of your healthcare. So if you're self employed
Speaker 6: or part of the gig economy, or you just want

Speaker 1: All right, time for odds and ends, and so perfect
Speaker 1: place to start is at the movies. You know, this
Speaker 1: is a big time for the movies. We know that
Speaker 1: once you're still in the middle of summer, you get
Speaker 1: these big openings. Here's a lot of conversation about what
Speaker 1: movie is coming out. You know, we always keep you
Speaker 1: up to date on that. I'm a big movie head.
Speaker 1: And here's something that's pretty interesting. Spider Man Brand New Day,
Speaker 1: second biggest opening in North America ever, three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty five million. Yeah, did you hear the mic drop?
Speaker 1: That's a micdrop moment, even for Spider Man. I mean
Speaker 1: that's just domestically, and that's only two million shy of
Speaker 1: the Avengers End Game back in twenty nineteen. Now, if
Speaker 1: we go global, oh yeah, we go global. It earned
Speaker 1: nine hundred and twenty seven million in its first weekend.
Speaker 1: So that is also the second highest global debut in
Speaker 1: film history. So then I said at the top, what
Speaker 1: does Odesseus have in common with Peter Parker's the main
Speaker 1: character of course of Spider Man, And in the Odyssey.
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about. The main character played by
Speaker 1: Matt Damon. So that movie brought in fifty one million
Speaker 1: in its third weekend. But if you look at it cumulatively,
Speaker 1: it's brought in globally nine hundred and eleven million US
Speaker 1: total three hundred and ninety five million. So you combine
Speaker 1: the two films and how much they've made. Wow, Wow,
Speaker 1: that is I popping, my friends. But notice how I said,
Speaker 1: you know, the Odyssey's been out for it's for three weeks,
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety five million. Just let's say, let's
Speaker 1: just talk about in the US compared to Spider Man
Speaker 1: that's at three fifty five. So Spider Man, I think,
Speaker 1: has a broader audience of course, So that makes this
Speaker 1: make sense. And it's been a while. I tried to
Speaker 1: figure out, Okay, how long has it been? And it
Speaker 1: follows it's a follow up to No Way Home. And
Speaker 1: you know what No Way Home was back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. Do you believe it? Time flies? Oh? How
Speaker 1: the web is weave very slowly? I think in a
Speaker 1: way that's really surprising. I thought that long, it's been
Speaker 1: that long, and it has indeed, right, so brand New
Speaker 1: Day is the fourth Tom Holland Spider Man that we've scene,
Speaker 1: and the critics are liking it. They I mean, look
Speaker 1: at rotten tomatoes can be rough. That's an aggregate where
Speaker 1: they really pull in what audiences are saying and critics,
Speaker 1: and it's ninety eight percent on rotten tomatoes if you care, right,
Speaker 1: So how about that? And then you gotta thank you
Speaker 1: A Toy Story five that's crushed it. You have minions
Speaker 1: and monsters that's also done. So there's just no doubt.
Speaker 1: This has been a very big summer for the movies,
Speaker 1: a very very very very big, big, big, big big summer. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: all right, how about some tell me something good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of good things that we could
Speaker 1: talk about, for sure, But I'm gonna say this is
Speaker 1: This is good because you have a long time to
Speaker 1: prepare for it. What if I told you that you
Speaker 1: have an opportunity, you everybody listening to me, you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to look up into the sky in August
Speaker 1: and see a total solar eclipse that'll last up to
Speaker 1: six minutes and twenty three seconds at its peak. That's
Speaker 1: a long time. So if you're fumbling around trying to
Speaker 1: get in the right spot. Oh, I can't see anything
Speaker 1: doing that thing where you make the box that you
Speaker 1: look down in the box and then you look up.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about when you're a kid.
Speaker 1: So the total solar eclipse that means the Moon moves
Speaker 1: perfectly between the Sun and the Earth, it casts a
Speaker 1: shadow on the Earth. It'll be one of the longest
Speaker 1: in several decades. Now, if I wanted to compare it,
Speaker 1: we'd have to go back to April eighth of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four that lasted four minutes and twenty eight seconds
Speaker 1: at its peak. The last time any of them last
Speaker 1: in six minutes and anything, you'd be back in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety one. Tom Holland was barely born and wasn't Spider Man.
Speaker 1: So so this is the thing. I say. You have
Speaker 1: time to prepare for it. I said it was in
Speaker 1: August August twenty twenty seven, So mark this down. You
Speaker 1: have time to prepare. August second, twenty twenty seven is
Speaker 1: going to be the longest eclipse totality, and we all
Speaker 1: should try and see it if you're into it at all,
Speaker 1: because none of us are going to make it to
Speaker 1: the next time. It's going to be that long. I
Speaker 1: can promise you that. That's a sure bet. You know why,
Speaker 1: the longest eclipse totality like that again after August second,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, is going to be twenty one fourteen,
Speaker 1: twenty one fourteen. Now here's the here's the cat. Though.
Speaker 1: I got some sad news. I can almost to hear
Speaker 1: the boo birds getting ready to bow. The eclipse will
Speaker 1: be visible in parts of Africa, Europe, the Middle East. However,
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the United States is not gonna
Speaker 1: have a great view of it. Do they bum you out?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got kind of bummed out.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be visible in parts of Maine, for sure.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to see it in Maine, and
Speaker 1: you're going be able to see it in a couple
Speaker 1: of other good, really good spots in the United States.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's so many other countries that are
Speaker 1: gonna have a much much better view of it, I think,
Speaker 1: than the US. But what a phenomenon that is, and
Speaker 1: where you can really really really see it, like Greenland, Iceland, Portugal,
Speaker 1: some places like that. It's gonna be good to see it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the eclipse is a cool thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I really registered on me when
Speaker 1: I was a kid and you were looking at an eclipse.
Speaker 1: I know there was the excitement. I know there was
Speaker 1: making the the thing that you had to make where
Speaker 1: you looked into it like a telescope. But and of
Speaker 1: course do you see it? Do you see it? But
Speaker 1: I think I thought they came about a lot more
Speaker 1: than they do. So something to keep in mind for
Speaker 1: next time around. All right, this is one of those
Speaker 1: ubiquitous bits of information. I just happened to see this
Speaker 1: kind of rando trivia. And the trivia question is what
Speaker 1: country eats the most pizza per capita? And I know
Speaker 1: what you're thinking. Are you thinking? Are you thinking Italy?
Speaker 1: Are you thinking Italy? If you were thinking Italy, you
Speaker 1: would be thinking wrong. The most consumption for pizza is
Speaker 1: you're ready for this. Per capita in pounds is Norway, Norway,
Speaker 1: and the United States is second, Canada, Australia, then Italy. See,
Speaker 1: I think it also has I would say it has
Speaker 1: something to do with population, except for per capita, right Norway.
Speaker 1: So no, it's it's looking at the amount of people
Speaker 1: and then measuring it. That Way, and then the least
Speaker 1: amount of pizza that was measured was Brazil, right, and
Speaker 1: per capita in pounds Norway twenty five point one, United
Speaker 1: States twenty one point two, Canada nineteen point six. Here's
Speaker 1: the shaker, Italy sixteen point eight. I betually if you
Speaker 1: talked about pasta, though, that would be a whole different
Speaker 1: story if you talked about pasta, because there it's gotta
Speaker 1: be high. Anyone that goes to Italy, they always talk
Speaker 1: about how much pasta, how much pasta you know that
Speaker 1: they have that they've eaten. All right, this is big
Speaker 1: in the money, money, money department. Wouldn't it be nice
Speaker 1: to have the prices roll back when you pull up
Speaker 1: at the pump. Yeah, The Trump administration is looking to
Speaker 1: reopen closed oil refineries, including one in the Virgin Islands,
Speaker 1: amid these high gasoline prices because of the war. And yes,
Speaker 1: even though we're entering into maybe a different phase, we hope,
Speaker 1: but it has been confirmed that they're trying to find
Speaker 1: some refineries that could reopen, and the Saint Croix refinery
Speaker 1: is definitely one of them, right because that refinery was
Speaker 1: built to refine Venezuelan oil because of its location. Since
Speaker 1: April twenty twenty five companies have approached the White House
Speaker 1: to express interest in purchasing that refinery. And so now
Speaker 1: that's ramping up right. That okay, that could happen. And
Speaker 1: the idea is part of what people don't I think
Speaker 1: understand is it has to be refined. You have to
Speaker 1: have more refineries. There's not enough refineries. And as fast
Speaker 1: as you can refine the oil, the more that flows
Speaker 1: in the right direction, so to speak, and that changes
Speaker 1: can change dramatically. What happens at the pumps when people
Speaker 1: are complaining, All right, it's back. You asked for it.
Speaker 1: So we got the Weekly rewind. What you missed and
Speaker 1: you need to know is we spring forward interest rates,
Speaker 1: interest rates, interest rates. The Fed left the interest rates unchanged.
Speaker 1: That tops the Weekly rewind. Yeah, so there was three
Speaker 1: votes for an increase, but that's not enough. So it
Speaker 1: was a divided federal reserve. But they left the key
Speaker 1: rate unchanged. And so there are a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are wondering why that happened. And you know, you
Speaker 1: got the President who we know he's looking for a cut,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. He wasn't happy with the last chairman.
Speaker 1: He likes Kevin Walsh. In fact, that's somebody that he
Speaker 1: would hand pick to have that position. But it was
Speaker 1: one of those cliffhanger kind of meetings, as it's been described.
Speaker 1: At the bottom line is the rate is the same,
Speaker 1: it's held steady. Here's the chairman himself talking last week
Speaker 1: about no rate cut.
Speaker 11: Today, as you know, our committee decided to vote by
Speaker 11: a nine to three vote to maintain the target range
Speaker 11: for the federal funds rate at three and one half
Speaker 11: to three and three quarters percent. The Committee is continuing
Speaker 11: its policy of making ample reserves in the banking system.
Speaker 11: The economy is showing impressive resilience even with recent shocks.
Speaker 11: The trends are positive and reveal solid growth. Job gains
Speaker 11: have kept pace with the workforce, and the unemployment rate
Speaker 11: has changed little.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's interesting. You know what he was explaining
Speaker 1: is he says, listen, uncertainty does not mean lack of clarity.
Speaker 1: In fact, he had a forty five minute press conference
Speaker 1: afterwards because there were so many people, they were asking
Speaker 1: so many questions. I happened to see what Dario Perkins,
Speaker 1: who's a managing director at TS Lombard wrote all spin,
Speaker 1: no delivery so in the briefing room, reporters were kind
Speaker 1: of perplexed by some of the statements. No change to rates,
Speaker 1: no forward guidance for the average household. So what's the news.
Speaker 1: You know, what's the news there? And you know, that
Speaker 1: turned out to be pretty big. Ultimately, the president, of course,
Speaker 1: was asked about it, and here's what he said.
Speaker 8: Kevin's fantastic, but he's got a board.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin's got aboard. He's fantastic. He's a brilliant guy. Smart.
Speaker 12: I know, I'd love to see lower interest rates, but
Speaker 12: he's got a board, and it's a political board, and
Speaker 12: they want to keep race up.
Speaker 3: But we fight through Rachel.
Speaker 1: All right, it's what he said the presidents that we
Speaker 1: fight through rates. So here's the thing you're not gonna
Speaker 1: you know, after that announcement, the Dow sunk like two percent.
Speaker 1: It had its worst day in over a year. So
Speaker 1: his comments, Wassh's comments, stirred up volatility because not what
Speaker 1: was expected. Of course, there was a bounce back after that,
Speaker 1: but and you know, we're always going to get these
Speaker 1: post meeting press conferences for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: So now kind of the thought is, okay, maybe there's
Speaker 1: going to be a cut on this in the September meeting.
Speaker 1: But there was no indication of that happening. There's no
Speaker 1: there was nothing that pointed to, oh, okay, well, maybe
Speaker 1: that's going to be different when we get to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, when we get to September. So if you
Speaker 1: look at mortgage rates, they're not great. I mean, the
Speaker 1: thirty year fixed index six point eighty three, six point
Speaker 1: eighty three percent, and you know that's just a that's
Speaker 1: just a ticker two lower because now we're in August,
Speaker 1: a ticker two lower than the tail end of July,
Speaker 1: but not much so. Higher rates, of course, are driven
Speaker 1: by a weakened bond mark. And I'm gonna go too
Speaker 1: deep into this whole explanation, but you get it. Bottom
Speaker 1: line is, if you were looking at a house and
Speaker 1: you're looking at that number, and other people will tell you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't say how many people have said
Speaker 1: to me, you have no idea what it's like. It
Speaker 1: used to be double digits. Okay, well, I don't care
Speaker 1: what it was like in the old days. If you're
Speaker 1: looking for if you're looking for a house and you're
Speaker 1: and you know, and you're young, it's it kills you.
Speaker 1: That interest rate just absolutely kills you. So we may
Speaker 1: see cut, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: he doesn't. If they don't have a cut in September either,
Speaker 1: And there again there was no indication that we may
Speaker 1: see that. Well, we see one before the end of
Speaker 1: the year, I think, so I do all right. This
Speaker 1: person isn't worried about it, cut it all. They're living
Speaker 1: it up and living large. Somebody. This is a big
Speaker 1: story last week. Anytime the lottery goes sky high, people
Speaker 1: are talking about the lottery, people who have never played
Speaker 1: the lottery, and they might not even play it even
Speaker 1: though they're talking about it. But someone in Brandenon, Florida
Speaker 1: won the eight hundred million dollar Mega Million lottery and
Speaker 1: they bought the ticket at a popular convenience store called
Speaker 1: Wah Wah. And so of course people that frequent it
Speaker 1: who got tickets were asked about it. And here's what
Speaker 1: some of them said.
Speaker 3: That's unfathomable.
Speaker 4: That's I can't believe they think that the winning ticket
Speaker 4: is so here.
Speaker 5: It's exciting.
Speaker 1: It is exciting, but it's exciting for the store. They
Speaker 1: get something, but it's not exciting. If you bought a
Speaker 1: lottery ticket and you didn't win, what would be interesting,
Speaker 1: and I guess be no way to figure this out.
Speaker 1: It would it would make you nauseous. If so, if
Speaker 1: you know, you just you don't play the lottery much.
Speaker 1: You just say, okay, give me a quick pick or two,
Speaker 1: and then the person behind you does the same thing. Well,
Speaker 1: the person in front of you, you know, the person
Speaker 1: in front of that person is the person who won.
Speaker 1: But and they did the same thing. But there's no
Speaker 1: way to know any of that nonsense. So a single
Speaker 1: ticket did win it, though a lot of times you
Speaker 1: have more than that. So that that lottery got reset.
Speaker 1: It's the tenth largest jackpot in the history of that
Speaker 1: of that game. So if you do the math, boy,
Speaker 1: they're going to clear a lot They would clear you
Speaker 1: take the cash option, pay the taxes, so you're free
Speaker 1: and clear, and you would get three hundred and forty
Speaker 1: four point two million. I think that person and buying
Speaker 1: a new house, they're not gonna care so much about
Speaker 1: the interest rate. Well, the interest rates are so sky high.
Speaker 1: I gotta sit on the for a while. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: gotta sit on this money for a while, all right,
Speaker 1: This was a really sad story, but I think this
Speaker 1: justice was served here. Colin Gray, the father of Colt Gray,
Speaker 1: the teenager who killed two classmates classmates rather and two
Speaker 1: teachers after he opened fire when it with an AR
Speaker 1: fifteen style weapon his dad bought him, you know, was
Speaker 1: sentenced to The teenager was sentenced to consecutive life sentences.
Speaker 1: I'll never get out life without pearl. Now. His dad
Speaker 1: got sentenced to fifteen years from, among other charges, second
Speaker 1: degree murder. Here's what the judge in Georgia said last week.
Speaker 5: The warning lights were flashing brighter and brighter, and you
Speaker 5: didn't get him held, and you didn't remove his access
Speaker 5: to the guns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the families who were just you know,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're your loved one is gone,
Speaker 1: just evaporated in an instant. Well, they had a chance
Speaker 1: to address Colin Gray, the father of that Appalachi High
Speaker 1: School shooter, and here's what they had to say.
Speaker 12: Fire early here today, it's because of him. His actions
Speaker 12: and his neglect are responsible for what happened here. Though
Speaker 12: he did not shoot the gun, he bought the bullets
Speaker 12: that enabled his son to kill.
Speaker 13: Instead of acting, he chose to look away. Instead of intervening,
Speaker 13: he chose in action. Instead of protecting his son from
Speaker 13: himself and protecting our community from the danger his son posed,
Speaker 13: he armed him. Our daughters must grow up without their father.
Speaker 8: They will miss his guidance, his encouragement, his hugs, and
Speaker 8: all the milestones. He should have been here to witness birthdays, graduations,
Speaker 8: weddings and everyday moments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing you think about, right. Brianna Shermerhorn,
Speaker 1: the mother of fourteen year old Mason, rejected describing the
Speaker 1: shooting as a tragedy. You know, we say it's a tragedy,
Speaker 1: she said. People keep calling us a tragedy, But tragedies
Speaker 1: are unavoidable. This was preventable. She added that parenting requires responsibility, sacrifice,
Speaker 1: and showing up even when it's hard, and that parents
Speaker 1: are supposed to protect their children, and that mister Gray
Speaker 1: had opportunities to make different choices. My family didn't have
Speaker 1: an opportunity. Wow, and even asking and saying, I asked
Speaker 1: for the maximum sentence not out of revenge, but because
Speaker 1: the consequences of these failures were irreversible. And that's the thing, right.
Speaker 1: So prosecutors asked for eighty years, and the defense was
Speaker 1: looking for, you know, hoping they'd get a twenty year sence.
Speaker 1: He ended up with fifteen. Like I said, but just
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible thing. All right, this is sad news,
Speaker 1: and this would count as what happened, you know, last week,
Speaker 1: but Vincent Pasttori, who was known for playing Salvatore Bumpincero
Speaker 1: on The Sopranos, died. He was eighty years old. Popular actor.
Speaker 1: He's just been doing a lot of commercials lately, and
Speaker 1: he was found dead at his home in the Bronx,
Speaker 1: where of course he's from. His manager of over thirty
Speaker 1: years confirmed that a neighbor of his hadn't heard from
Speaker 1: him in three days and said that was really unusual.
Speaker 1: So they're still investigating what they think natural causes is
Speaker 1: the lean. He has survived by his daughter, Renee. He
Speaker 1: was so part of that Sopranos cast that made the cast.
Speaker 1: He was so he was so believable in his crazy, crazy,
Speaker 1: crazy role in that very popular, popular series. And it
Speaker 1: was a whole bunch of other movies too. A lot
Speaker 1: of them had mob kind of themes in them, but
Speaker 1: not everything he did. He also was in law and order,
Speaker 1: Bull General Hospital pair of Kings, and he also competed
Speaker 1: on Dancing with the Stars even celebrity family Feud. How
Speaker 1: about that he was a guest on season two's episode
Speaker 1: of Shark Tank one of them. Wow, mailbag your thoughts

Speaker 3: You have mailed mistress's.
Speaker 12: Gig in the mailbag.
Speaker 1: All right, let's sake this first one. Michael listening to
Speaker 1: us WVLK five ninety AM ninety seven point three FM
Speaker 1: in Lexington, Kentucky. Hey, Kate, how hot is it where
Speaker 1: you are? I'll tell you the hot jokes are making
Speaker 1: the rounds. I think this summer has been one of
Speaker 1: the hottest on record, although because we've had some crazy
Speaker 1: disasters flooding and whatnot, that sort of becomes more of
Speaker 1: the story than when you have the bubble up of
Speaker 1: the heat. But it seems like overall when you talk
Speaker 1: about I know in the West.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: I heard you the other day talk about I don't
Speaker 1: know how those people. I think Arizona is beautiful, but
Speaker 1: I don't know how those people can stand those temperatures
Speaker 1: in the desert. But I can tell you that the humidity,
Speaker 1: when you have that high humidity, it is equally as awful.
Speaker 1: And you gotta have air. I don't know how people
Speaker 1: do it when they when the air conditioner goes or
Speaker 1: something else happens, and it's We've had one of the
Speaker 1: hottest on record. So I'm with you as I have
Speaker 1: heard you talk about having almost a heat stroke. I
Speaker 1: had heat stroke. And you do not want to get that,
Speaker 1: my friends. You do not want to feel so weak
Speaker 1: like you can't breathe and you're in the back of
Speaker 1: an ambulance. That happened to me, and I'm only forty five.
Speaker 1: So you gotta hydrate. And it's not hydrate where you
Speaker 1: just when you when you're already in the throes of it,
Speaker 1: throwing down a bunch of gatorade or water. You have
Speaker 1: to do it way way way ahead of time, right absolutely,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, heat stroke And you know all that. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's true. That's why I'm glad you said that. I
Speaker 1: feel like a broken record, and because it happened to me.
Speaker 1: And I was twenty eight, I think, and maybe even younger.
Speaker 1: And I was, uh and I was covering the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I was out at their practice and it was in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: I've said the story already, so I apologize if you've
Speaker 1: heard it like ad nauseum. But I thought it was fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, there seemed like there was like a little breeze,
Speaker 1: and even some of the players were saying to me,
Speaker 1: you need to a girl. What are you doing. You
Speaker 1: need to get some Like why are they even noticing
Speaker 1: you need to get some gatorade? Because they have it.
Speaker 1: They had it in the press room. They Jerry kept
Speaker 1: everything stuck. They had everything. But I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I already had some water. And trust me, it is awful. Oh.
Speaker 1: You get confused, you get slurred speech. If it's really bad,
Speaker 1: you'd lose consciousness, right, which might have happened to Michael.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell us that whole story, but it's so
Speaker 1: it's not. The classic thing is you get a rapid
Speaker 1: heartbeat and you get a headache and you feel nauseous
Speaker 1: for sure, but even it gets even worse than that.
Speaker 1: So your body temperature you can't it's bad. You can't
Speaker 1: regulate it. It's terrible. And then you know it's a
Speaker 1: weird thing is you can even get hypothermia kind of
Speaker 1: results from uncontrolled heat exposure, and that can lead to
Speaker 1: all kinds of terrible, terrible things. I mean, it's serious
Speaker 1: because your body can get to over one hundred and
Speaker 1: four degrees you just can't regulate the temperature. And I
Speaker 1: said that when I went hiking with my whole family
Speaker 1: and my husband had that happen. I think that was
Speaker 1: happening to him because I thought, oh my god, he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a heart attack. I know what to do.
Speaker 1: I just kept thinking to myself, I know what to do,
Speaker 1: but it's just the two of us now at this point,
Speaker 1: and I don't have a SAT phone, so what's going
Speaker 1: to happen? And that was the heat stroke stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you echoed my same sentiments because it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's serious. All right, Let's move on to this one.
Speaker 1: This one is from Jake, who is listening to US
Speaker 1: News Talk eight three to o WCCO. Kate, thanks for
Speaker 1: all your shout outs about the Twins and what's happening there.
Speaker 1: And I've heard you mention a lot of things about
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities. Appreciate that and a lot of times
Speaker 1: I'm getting some of that is hitting my ear first,
Speaker 1: because I tune in and I listen to you whenever
Speaker 1: I can. It depends on what my schedule is. And
Speaker 1: I and I think you're right about the Twins, and
Speaker 1: boy there are it's like this team that thrills you
Speaker 1: and then they disappoint you the next time around. But
Speaker 1: I guess that's baseball, right, And I don't think they
Speaker 1: won their game on Sunday. They hidn't. The Mariners beat
Speaker 1: them seven to six, but it was one and this
Speaker 1: was in Seattle, and this was one of those games
Speaker 1: where you had it was the ninth inning, right, so
Speaker 1: you had, uh you had it was a for the
Speaker 1: Mariner' I'm gonna care about this, but it was Colt
Speaker 1: Emerson who singled in the ninth for the Mariners. Second
Speaker 1: straight walk off went over the Twins. So things quickly
Speaker 1: reverse in different series, right if you look at it
Speaker 1: that way. And Taj Bradley for the Twins pitched six innings.
Speaker 1: He gave up seven hits with four walks and a
Speaker 1: couple of strikeouts too. I believe in that, and we
Speaker 1: had a couple of strikeouts. So anyway, so you get
Speaker 1: back at it again and the Twins now on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: they've got a three game series at Kansas City. So
Speaker 1: and they got Joe Ryan, who's looking to turn things around.
Speaker 1: He's six and seven on the season and lowered that
Speaker 1: era just to Tad. But uh, yeah, that's the way
Speaker 1: it is. So thanks for that. All right, let's move
Speaker 1: to let's see this one is. This one's from Kevin
Speaker 1: who's listening to us WGC fourteen ninety am, Greenwich, Connecticut. Kate,
Speaker 1: I feel so badly for Savannah Guthrie and the situation
Speaker 1: that you had something that she was talking about on
Speaker 1: Instagram about her mother, and please if you have any
Speaker 1: information and you could tell that it was like she
Speaker 1: was sort of giving a message to the people that
Speaker 1: had the ransom notes or something, and you just feel
Speaker 1: for this family, like, Okay, if she died and you
Speaker 1: buried her somewhere, just for God's sake, tell the family
Speaker 1: where she is. But what an ordeal to publicly go
Speaker 1: through and you got to also wonder, who are these people?
Speaker 1: They seemed like were fumblers to me when our own resources,
Speaker 1: because even the president said give her everything she needs.
Speaker 1: And in the beginning, everybody was all over this and
Speaker 1: nobody could find anything out. I mean, finally they had
Speaker 1: had the picture, you know, had the video of the kidnapper,
Speaker 1: but then that was it. So you know, into thin air,
Speaker 1: that has got to be an awful, awful thing to
Speaker 1: live with. If you were in that situation, you know,
Speaker 1: how would you feel? And I asked myself that all
Speaker 1: the time. And in fact, my mother is just a
Speaker 1: couple of years younger than I believe her mother was
Speaker 1: eighty four. And she lives alone, and she's in great
Speaker 1: shape and super independent, and she doesn't live too far
Speaker 1: from us. But it makes us wonder, hmm, should we,
Speaker 1: even though we're not public figures, should we do something different?
Speaker 1: And is she being careful with who's coming in and
Speaker 1: out of the house. And we're starting to have conversations
Speaker 1: about that. You know, that's not a bad conversation to have,
Speaker 1: right Who's who are you bringing into your house to
Speaker 1: work on this? To do that? And there's some fine
Speaker 1: people in all kinds of industries from lawns to handyman, etc.
Speaker 1: But who knows. I mean, there's you invite people in
Speaker 1: then they can see your situation. So in this case,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, she went missing six months ago. And
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that Guthrie has said,
Speaker 1: and she's written this on social media a bunch of times, is,
Speaker 1: you know, every day they wake up and they try
Speaker 1: to be strong and go on because that's what their
Speaker 1: mother would want them to do. But she says, you know,
Speaker 1: their hearts are in ruins, and of course they are.
Speaker 1: And if it you know, my mother, God rest her soul,
Speaker 1: who was awesome, died. It's way too young. And if
Speaker 1: I were in that situation, I'd be asking those questions too,
Speaker 1: because she would be just a couple of years younger
Speaker 1: than Nancy Guthrie too, And I think I would, I
Speaker 1: don't think, I know, I would be asking those same
Speaker 1: questions about you know, how is she, how's especially alone,
Speaker 1: how is she doing? You know, it's weird too about
Speaker 1: that they're still offering a one million dollar reward for information,
Speaker 1: and they're not saying like if they like where she is,
Speaker 1: if they're finding a body or whatever they're offering that money.
Speaker 1: So the tip line is up. And but nothing I
Speaker 1: mean nothing that is leading to anything that is taking
Speaker 1: them to you know, to Nancy Guthrie Justes. Just such
Speaker 1: a sad, creepy story all the way around, wasn't it. Oh?
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for all of your emails. It is,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, time to go to the pre
Speaker 1: market bell. All right, So another big week the first
Speaker 1: week of August on the market, and you know the
Speaker 1: Iran meetings, you know, even news about that oil is
Speaker 1: down below eighty it seventy nine sixty nine, seventy nine
Speaker 1: dollars sixty nine cents a barrel. This is pre market
Speaker 1: Dow futures point fifty seven percent up s and p
Speaker 1: up point sixty two percent. Nasdaq futures point ninety eight percent.
Speaker 1: All sounds good to me. Thanks to Daniel Kazerski for
Speaker 1: his excellent work on the technicals, and all of you
Speaker 1: for listening to this hour of the show. Make it count, everybody,
