  Now on to sports. The Boston Celtics have made
• 3:58
  a significant move in the offseason, trading
• 4:01
  Kristaps Porzingis in a three -team deal with
• 4:04
  the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets. In this

  transaction, the Celtics will send Porzingis

  and a second round pick to the Hawks, while the
• 4:14
  Nets acquire Terence Mann and the Hawks' number
• 4:17
  22 overall pick. In return, Boston receives Georges
• 4:23
  Nying and another second round pick. This trade,
• 4:27
  reported by ESPN's Shams Turania, allows the
• 4:31
  Celtics to cut their salary by $22 ,500 ,000,
• 4:36
  reducing their payroll commitments to $203 million,
• 4:41
  though they remain $16 million over the luxury
• 4:45
  tax. In local sports, last night in Los Angeles,
• 4:50
  the Sox fell to the Angels 3 -2 in a tight 10
• 4:54
  -inning battle. Despite strong pitching, a walk

  five hits, but couldn't capitalize at Angel Stadium,
• 5:13
  leaving Boston at 40 -41, while the Angels improved
• 5:17

  site career builder and monster. have filed for
• 5:51
  Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection just months
• 5:54
  after their merger in September 2024. Once dominant
• 5:59
  during the dot -com boom, both companies struggled
• 6:02
  to maintain their influence as competition intensified.
• 6:06
  According to court filings from Delaware, the
• 6:09
  merged company's assets are estimated between
• 6:11
  $50 million and $100 million, while liabilities
• 6:16
  range from $100 million to $500 million. Expert
• 6:21
  Hatim Rahman emphasizes that you have to continue
• 6:24
  to innovate and scale or perish in the competitive
• 6:27
  digital landscape. In business news, toy prices
• 6:34
  are rising sharply due to new tariffs impacting
• 6:37
  the industry, which heavily relies on imports
• 6:40
  from China. In May, toy prices surged by a record
• 6:44
  2 .2%, far exceeding the overall inflation rate
• 6:49
  of Analysts warn that this is just the beginning,
• 6:54
  with potential cascading effects on prices and
• 6:57
  availability. Isaac Larian, chief executive of
• 7:01
  MGA Entertainment, noted, Prices have gone up.
• 7:05
  There's no doubt about it. Retailers are adjusting
• 7:08
  strategies, focusing on bestsellers, while companies
• 7:12
  like Mattel and Hasbro are grappling with economic
• 7:16
  uncertainty in job cuts. The reliance on China
• 7:20
  remains a critical issue for the sector. In crypto

  ,000. Ethereum is up 2 % to about $2 ,500. And

• 8:28
  back to the show. Let's talk tech. DJI remains
• 8:34
  committed to the United States market despite
• 8:36
  the alarming absence of its drones from local
• 8:39
  retailers. A recent visit to a Best Buy store
• 8:43
  revealed zero DJI drones available for purchase,
• 8:47
  with the aisle completely cleared of products.
• 8:51
  A store employee cited concerns over U .S.-China
• 8:55
  relations as a reason for the lack of stock.
• 8:59
  DJI's own U .S. web store also shows no drones
• 9:02
  in inventory, and third -party listings on Amazon
• 9:05
  are limited. As concerns about tariffs and import
• 9:09
  scrutiny grow, DJI may face challenges ahead,
• 9:13
  with a possible ban on new products looming.
• 9:18
  And in entertainment news, The Karate Kid Part
• 9:22
  3 sees Daniel and Mr. Miyagi returning to the
• 9:27
  Valley, but the film feels like leftovers from
• 9:30
  earlier installments. Director John G. Abelson
• 9:34
  envisioned a high -flying adventure set in 16th
• 9:37
  century China. but producer Jerry Weintraub disagreed.
• 9:42
  Instead, the film features Daniel investing his
• 9:45
  college savings into a bonsai tree shop, while
• 9:48
  Cobra Kai's Kree steams up with the sinister
• 9:51
  Terry Silver to turn Daniel against Miyagi. Critics
• 9:56
  noted that the film's violence overshadowed its
• 9:58
  heart, leading to a disappointing box office
• 10:01
  return of $39 million. Roger Ebert lamented the
• 10:06
  exhausted character arcs. indicating it was time
• 10:09
  to move on. Well, all righty, folks, it's time
• 10:14
  for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
• 10:18
  comes from the American poet and essayist, Walt
• 10:21
  Whitman. And he said, I hear America singing
• 10:26
  the very carols I hear, celebrating the diverse
• 10:29
  voices that unite us in harmony. And that's a
• 10:34
  wrap for this morning. You can check out our
