  Kickoff is at one on CBS. In top news, the story
• 7:31
  of Ozempic's rise is rooted in a remarkable history
• 7:34
  of venomous science. David Mendoza, diagnosed
• 7:39
  with type 2 diabetes in 1994, struggled with
• 7:43
  obesity, weighing over 300 pounds. In 2006, he
• 7:49
  discovered Bayetta, an injectable medication
• 7:52
  that helped manage his diabetes and appetite,
• 7:55
  resulting in significant weight loss. This paved
• 7:59
  the way for medications like Ozempic, which are
• 8:02
  derived from GLP -1, a gut hormone that promotes
• 8:06
  insulin release and enhances feelings of fullness.
• 8:10
  As research on these medications progresses,
• 8:14
  a new oral treatment is also on the horizon.

  The Gila Monster's venom surprisingly opened
• 8:20
  doors to revolutionary diabetes treatments. In

  record highs on Friday. But the sustainability
• 8:39
  of the rally now likely hinges on the 10 -year
• 8:42
  treasury yield, according to Ron Albaheri, Chief
• 8:46
  Investment Officer at Laird Norton Weatherby.
• 8:50
  The S &P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and
• 8:54
  NASDAQ indexes all closed at new highs. Albaheri
• 8:58
  believes the bull market needs tame 10 -year
• 9:01

• 9:05
  at bay. He expressed concerns about potential
• 9:08
  Fed interference by the Trump administration.

  Let's talk tech. Jury selection will begin on
• 10:25
  Monday to determine if Amazon illegally tricked
• 10:28
  customers into paying for prime benefits. in
• 10:32
  the first of two major lawsuits from the Federal
• 10:35
  Trade Commission. This case alleges that Amazon
• 10:38
  misled consumers about the sign -up and cancellation
• 10:41
  process, violating Section 5 of the Federal Trade
• 10:44
  Commission Act and the Restore Online Shoppers
• 10:47
  Confidence Act. The Federal Trade Commission
• 10:50
  claims Amazon used dark patterns to enroll customers
• 10:54
  without their clear consent and made cancellation
• 10:57
  difficult. Amazon has denied these allegations,
• 11:01
  stating that customers enjoy Prime and the sign
• 11:04
  -up and cancellation processes are clear. The
• 11:08
  government recently won a ruling against Amazon

• 11:20
  action movie that runs nearly three hours, delivering
• 11:24
  breathless, barnstorming mayhem. Directed by
• 11:28
  Paul Thomas Anderson, the film features a career
• 11:31
  -high performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, who
• 11:34
  plays Bob Ferguson. With a budget of $175 million,
• 11:41
  this ambitious project adapts the Thomas Pinken
• 11:44
  novel, Vineland. Set in an alternative reality,
• 11:49
  the film critiques political issues while exploring
• 11:51
  complex family dynamics. While Sean Penn's portrayal
• 11:56
  of the psychotic Colonel is amusing, it risks
• 11:59
  becoming cartoonish. Overall, this film is likely
• 12:03
  a strong contender for best picture. Well, all
• 12:07
  righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the
• 12:10
  day. And today, our quote comes from the American
• 12:14
  civil rights leader and activist, Frederick Douglass.
• 12:19

• 12:26
  fight for justice and equality, as exemplified
• 12:29
  by the Emancipation Proclamation, and reminds
• 12:32
