  Speaker 1: were all intercepted. President Trump has set his sights on
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Venezuelan oil. ABC's Karen Travers can tell us about a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: new deal with the country and whether it might bring
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: our gas prices down. So peptides are all the rage,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: like everybody's talking about them. What are they? What do
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they do? Should you be including them in your diet?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: We'll be joined by Dr. John Galati, who's going to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: give us the 411. That's coming up a little later
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: on Wake Up Call. And we have an update. On
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: our efforts to have Jackie, the big bear bald eagle,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: officially recognized by the state of California with time ticking
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: down to the end of the legislative session, which is today,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by State Senator Tony Strickland.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's coming up 520. Let's get started with some of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: cleanup of the burned-out cold storage warehouse in Boyle Heights
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is entering its final phase, with the owner facing a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: new deadline and the threat of federal lawsuits. Air quality
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: regulators say Lineage Logistics has removed the millions of pounds
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of rotting food that caused months of foul odors and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: thousands of complaints. The company now has seven days to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: remove the remaining debris and sanitize part of the warehouse.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Three neighborhood groups have also notified Lineage they intend to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: sue in federal court, accusing the company of failing to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: disclose all the chemicals released during the fire in June.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Some survivors of the Eaton Fire in Altadena are celebrating
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a win in the legislature after lawmakers rejected, amended, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: then passed a bill this weekend they say will help
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: hold utility companies accountable.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: The best thing about the bill, says Joy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Chen, establishes a fast pay program intended to help survivors
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: receive compensation more quickly.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: She's a survivor of the Eaton Fire and the co-founder
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of Every Fire Survivor's Network. Her group is fighting Governor
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Newsom over the bill's language. One big thing she was
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: worried about, which she says the bill now does not do.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Does not cap any damages that survivors may recover.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: The bill was pushed through over the weekend just before
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the legislative deadline. Chen says it could be stronger.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: For utility accountability and prevention of future catastrophic fires.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: But she says that can come next. Jason Aithenson, KFI News.

• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Three street takeovers were also reported in Downey and the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Gramercy Park area of L.A. More than 52,000 property tax
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: bills in Orange County are due today. The fiscal 2026-27
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: bills cover taxes and assessments on business property, leased equipment,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: boats and aircraft. The Treasurer Tax Collector's Office says those
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: bills total over $ 302 million in revenue. Payments made after
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: today will be subject to a 10% penalty and collection fees.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Let's take a good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: President Trump has set his sights on Venezuela's oil. What's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: going on with that?
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the president announced over the weekend a deal, a
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: joint venture, he said, with Venezuela to take control of
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil reserves. He's
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: calling this the biggest oil deal in history and said
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: it was negotiated by the secretary of state, Marco Rubio.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, with the interim president of Venezuela,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Delcy Rodriguez, who she called it a historic agreement that
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: would potentially have a significant impact on her country's revival.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: A U.S.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Official says the U.S. will have a 55 percent share
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: in a joint venture with a private Venezuelan company. The
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: interim president granted that private company a 100 year lease
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: for oil fields totaling 65 billion barrels of proven reserves.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: So the president says that this is going to see
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: a substantial decrease for gas prices for Americans because he's
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: going to use this oil to fill strategic reserves, which
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: are at their lowest levels in decades. But a big question,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: of course, I'm sure people listening is how fast? And
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: analysts say not quickly, not right away. This could take
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: years to actually have any impact if it does on
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: gas prices here in the U.S., The infrastructure down there
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: in Venezuela is significantly damaged. It's declined. They have to
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: build it back up and that could take years and
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: billions of dollars to improve. And crude oil there is
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: hard to refine. So this is not a quick process.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: One analyst said that the prices could be lowered not
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: in five days, five weeks or five months, but maybe
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: in five years you could see a different landscape.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: OK, then, Karen, you mentioned that this is for the reserves,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: which are depleted. So it's not for the everyday supply
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of oil.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Well, it eventually would be. That's the goal. But it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: going to take a long time to get to that
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: point because this is not like we're tapping oil right
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: now and bringing it into the United States. This is
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: for the actual refining of oil. But again, you have
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: to build back up the capacity to do that. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: all the experts we were talking to over the weekend
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: said it would take several years before that happens.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this is more a project for the future,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: not a quick fix to the high oil prices now.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned that the U.S. would get a 55% share.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? Does that mean revenues for oil?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: For the U.S. or what does that share mean? Do
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: we know?
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: We don't have a lot of details, but what one
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: official said is that it would be split between equity,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: equity ownership and production. But still a lot of questions
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: about how this would work.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: OK, Karen Travers at the White House. Appreciate it. Thank
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you so much for the info. All right. Take care.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24 hour newsroom. One person has been killed.
• 8:21

• 8:30
  Speaker 7: was pulled from the Colorado River last night. Hours after,
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: a monsoon storm turned a quiet creek into a raging
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: river in minutes. The 14 still missing overnight are believed
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: to be hikers and backpackers who were out on the
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: trails when the flood hit.
• 8:44

• 8:47

• 9:04
  Speaker 1: at least 500 of 900 missing workers are trapped. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: ABC's Brett Klenitz says the numbers of people killed in
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the disaster continue to go up.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: They keep climbing because crews, quite frankly, are still pulling
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: bodies out of mud and debris that's feet deep in places.
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: And some victims were swept so far downstream that they've
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: turned up as far away as India.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: The combined death toll in Nepal and China has now
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: topped 900. New numbers much higher than last week. More
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: than 4,700 are still missing. Hurricane Karina has strengthened into
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a Category 4 storm quickly in the Pacific Ocean. Forecasters
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: say it's not threatening land. The storm has intensified since
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: becoming a hurricane just yesterday, fueled by warm waters far offshore.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Karina is off
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the southern tip of Baja, California. with maximum sustained winds
• 10:02

• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Friday after five weeks of testimony. Clancy has pleaded not
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: guilty with her defense, arguing that she was suffering from
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: severe mental illness, postpartum psychosis at the time of the deaths.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: ABC's Olivia Rubin says jurors are taking another look at
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: some key evidence.
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: They asked the judge for another look at two key
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: pieces of evidence. Some of the pill bottles at the
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: center of the case and the knife Clancy used to
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: try to take.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Her own life.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: If jurors find Clancy was not criminally responsible because of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: mental illness, she will not go to prison. She would
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: instead be committed to a state psychiatric facility. Treasury Secretary
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Scott Besant says the Trump administration is planning to impose
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: sanctions on another bank this week in an effort to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: clamp down on transactions with Iran. Besant is attending Group
• 11:06

• 11:10
  Speaker 1: speak individually with his counterparts to encourage participation in the

• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to threats in other areas of the world. The Washington
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Post reports military leaders say the Iran war has stretched ships,
• 11:38

• 12:18

• 12:28
  Speaker 3: change as of yet. Aileen Gonzalez, KFI News.

• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Bothwell criticized the move, arguing that Trump's broader aim is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to subordinate Canada. Yeah, he wants to make it a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: 51st state, right? I still think that it's crazy when
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: he talks like that. At least 15 people are missing
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: after flash floods swept through a remote section of the
• 13:16

• 14:09
  Speaker 1: one of the most dominating defensive linemen in NFL history
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: during his career with the Rams. He'll be joining newly
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: acquired and reigning defensive player of the year, Miles Garrett,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to give the Rams a potentially devastating pair of pass rushers.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: At 6.05, it's handle on the news, but no handle
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: this morning. We have our very own Neil Saavedra sitting in.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: We've got Iranian rockets firing at Jordan, the U.S. firing
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: at Iran. First fighting in about a month. We'll give
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you the latest on that. Let's say good morning now
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to State Senator Ted Strickland. So, Senator Strickland, while we
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: continue to mourn the passing of Jackie... who gave us
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: kind of a front row seat into the lives of
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: bald eagles in the wild through the Friends of Big
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Bear Valley Bald Eagle Cam. We're super excited to be
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: talking to you to share the news today of how
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the state of California is recognizing Jackie and how she
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: literally touched millions of lives. So please tell us what
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: happened on the floor of the California Senate.
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: Well, it was.
• 15:14
  Speaker 11: Overwhelmingly supported by both Democrats and Republicans. So it went
• 15:18
  Speaker 11: on what we call consent, meaning that there was no
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: floor debate because everybody was for it. That's one of
• 15:23
  Speaker 11: the great things about this resolution. It celebrates something that
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: brings people together at a time when there's plenty of
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: issues dividing us. Jackie represents something that almost everyone can
• 15:35
  Speaker 11: appreciate and get behind. So I was very, very moved
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: by the kind of bipartisan support we had for the
• 15:43
  Speaker 11: Senate bill, Senate Resolution 140.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: OK, so you talked about consent. So we're doing a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: little education right now. What does that mean and how
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: does that work?
• 15:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, if both parties agree that this is a bill
• 15:58
  Speaker 11: that all the Democrats and Republicans support, then it would
• 16:02
  Speaker 11: get unanimous support. Then it goes on what we call consent,
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: meaning at the end of session, there's a few issues
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: out there. that, you know, have the Republican and Democrats
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: all in, you know, unified on an issue. And so
• 16:20
  Speaker 11: this this resolution went on what we call consent that
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: everybody voted for it. And when that happens, there's no
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: big floor debate or anything like that. They just say, OK,
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: this is something that everybody is already behind. And that's
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: how you move the process forward.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Cool. I love it that we're getting an education into
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: how things get done in Sacramento. So what do you
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: hope SR 140 will mean for California and for Big
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Bear and for people all over the state who just
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: love wildlife?
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: Well, again, it just goes to show you that, you know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: Jackie connected and she created a connection between wildlife and people.
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: She touched so many hearts around the world. People followed
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: Jackie and Shadow. Her, you know, her life became a
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: story that people followed, cared about, and felt connected to.
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: That's why we introduced this resolution. And this resolution now
• 17:10
  Speaker 11: gives Jackie a story of this official place that in
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: California history and in the Senate and assembly record. And so, uh,
• 17:17

• 17:26
  Speaker 11: kind of, uh, environment we have out there that bring
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: people together. And Jackie definitely did that.
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: So California today is next step, you know, Washington DC

• 17:40
  Speaker 11: you know, they should, I mean, again, uh, the, the
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: bald Eagle and Jackie is the representative of our, our America. It's, uh, freedom, strength, resilience,
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: and the American spirit. So I should probably reach out
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: to my congressional colleagues. I'm just glad that we got
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: this done in a short amount of time from Jackie's
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: passing to getting this through by the August 31st deadline

  Speaker 11: want to thank my colleagues for getting behind this, my bill,
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: my resolution to get this done.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: And thank you, Senator, for taking the reins on this
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and making it happen. So fast so that all of
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: us can honor our Jackie, the beautiful, majestic bald eagle.

• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Venezuelan oil. The president also called it a gift from
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Venezuela to the people of the U.S. It comes after
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Trump announced that the U.S. had secured majority U.S. control
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: in Venezuela. at no cost to the American taxpayer. ABC's
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Stephen Portnoy says the interim Venezuelan president, Delcy Rodriguez, is
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: appraising the deal, saying the benefits for her country are
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: impossible to overlook.
• 24:52
  Speaker 15: But also, she's probably cognizant of the concern in Venezuela
• 24:56
  Speaker 15: that the U.S. is coming in and basically taking the oil,
• 24:58
  Speaker 15: and perhaps mindful of the potential for a new wave
• 25:01
  Speaker 15: of anger in her country over American imperialism.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez says Venezuela will retain ownership and sovereignty under the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: new joint venture. Senator Ted Cruz is praising the oil deal.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: The Texas Republican told NBC's Meet the Press it could
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: be good for the U.S.
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: The oil deal, as announced, sounds like it could have
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: a very positive impact on the United States, on the
• 25:22
  Speaker 14: United States economy, on American jobs, and a very positive
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: impact on gas prices over the long term.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Cruz also called for free and fair elections to be
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: held in Venezuela no later than midway next year. An

• 25:46
  Speaker 1: spent over four decades as a fixture of Leimert Park
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: arts and culture scene. Caldwell founded the Chaos Network, a
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: community arts center, in 1984 in Leimert Park, where he
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: has mentored Black artists, creatives, and technologists. Everything was coming
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: up daisies in Orange County.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: The first ever Daisy Chain Fields Festival over the weekend
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: was a huge success. Festival creator and headliner Olivia Rodrigo
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: performed at the Great Park in Irvine. Special guests including
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Stevie Nicks raised over $ 20 million for women's health charities.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: But there were some issues.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigo was great.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Everyone was great.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I want to leave now.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Actor Katie Molinaro, one of the many posting on social
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: media about long lines to leave, it took hours for
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: some to get out of the parking lot. I want
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: to leave this festival now.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I would like to leave now.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: The sold out festival drew 45,000 fans. Jason Aithenson, KFI News.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: It looked very cool. Stevie Nicks there. And I heard
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that it was incredibly hot. So sitting in your car
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for a few hours, probably not a whole lot of fun.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Time to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Matt Piper.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Matt.
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: Hey, good morning.
• 26:52
  Speaker 16: I love Stevie Nicks. I know we're not talking about
• 26:54
  Speaker 16: Stevie Nicks anymore, but I just do.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: We can always talk about Stevie Nicks. I love that.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I just think that song is one of the best
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: songs ever.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Really, it really is.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: One of the not best things ever is that cash
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: strapped colleges are draining their endowments. How come?
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 27:10
  Speaker 16: So, Amy, so some of these schools are draining their
• 27:13
  Speaker 16: endowments just to stay alive. So nearly 200 private colleges
• 27:16
  Speaker 16: are borrowing from restricted endowment funds in 2025. That happened
• 27:20
  Speaker 16: all last year. Colleges face financial pressure due to declining
• 27:24
  Speaker 16: enrollments and shrinking income. with smaller institutions being hit the
• 27:28
  Speaker 16: hardest as they fight over a dwindling pool of potential students.
• 27:32
  Speaker 16: Faced with multi-million dollar deficits, this one school in Ohio,
• 27:35
  Speaker 16: Hiram College, borrowed $ 47 million from its fund just to
• 27:40
  Speaker 16: stay afloat.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm thinking that maybe they need to rethink this stuff,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: like that they just can't keep spending the way they had.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: If you said there's declining enrollments and other Yeah, there's that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 16: There's the fact that it's just so expensive to go
• 27:59
  Speaker 16: to college for everyone. It's a lot.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy. So Live Golf, which was supposed to be
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the next big thing and drew a lot of PGA golfers,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: is about to go belly up.
• 28:10
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's pretty much already there. It could file for
• 28:12
  Speaker 16: bankruptcy protection as early as next week. The Financial Times
• 28:17
  Speaker 16: says the league in recent days has sent settlement offers
• 28:19
  Speaker 16: to the current lift players who are owed millions in
• 28:23
  Speaker 16: guaranteed payouts past this year. with those initial offers at
• 28:27
  Speaker 16: just a few cents on the dollar. So imagine being
• 28:30
  Speaker 16: told that you're going to get $ 5 million and now
• 28:33
  Speaker 16: they're getting like $ 100, 000 or so. I mean, that's what
• 28:35
  Speaker 16: they're going through right now, which is still a lot
• 28:36
  Speaker 16: of money, but still. This all comes after the Saudis
• 28:40
  Speaker 16: said they are ending their financial backing following this season.
• 28:44
  Speaker 16: So yeah, Liv has been in the news a lot
• 28:46
  Speaker 16: and bankruptcy could come now next week.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Well, and the other thing that I heard, I don't know,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing that you heard it, is that The PGA
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: is not welcoming those guys back.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, no.
• 28:57
  Speaker 16: I mean, they signed on these signing bonuses. I don't
• 29:00
  Speaker 16: know what that was, 2022 or 2021, and left a
• 29:03
  Speaker 16: lot of the big PGA tours to get millions and
• 29:06
  Speaker 16: millions of dollars. And now it's like, well, hey, you
• 29:07
  Speaker 16: went there. You're not coming back.
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah. OK.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: So what happened with Google Maps and President Trump?
• 29:14
  Speaker 16: Well, we all know that Lake Ontario was renamed, air quotes,
• 29:19
  Speaker 16: Lake America just last week by President Trump. That happened
• 29:22
  Speaker 16: on Thursday. Now, Google has caved to Trump, putting Lake
• 29:25
  Speaker 16: America's name change for Lake Ontario, relabeling the body of water.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: In the U.S.
• 29:30
  Speaker 16: On Google Maps. Now, Google says the Canadians will see
• 29:33
  Speaker 16: Lake Ontario on their side and those outside U.S. and
• 29:36
  Speaker 16: Canada will see both names. Thus, far, Apple has not
• 29:41
  Speaker 16: followed suit on its map function.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: OK, and we know that MapQuest is saying that they're
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: not doing it either.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
• 29:49
  Speaker 16: I haven't opened MapQuest since 2004. But OK, good to know.
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 16: I think I was back in college when I used MapQuest.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: You were on your MySpace account at the time, right?
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, top nine, of course.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, music publishers are suing Anthropic.
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 30:08
  Speaker 16: Yeah, so Sony Music and Warner have just sued Anthropic. Now,
• 30:12
  Speaker 16: the publishers accused it of blatant theft by using thousands
• 30:15
  Speaker 16: of copyrighted works to train its AI model, Claude. The
• 30:19
  Speaker 16: suit is opening south, though, in what is now likely
• 30:22
  Speaker 16: to be a years-long fight over music. AI and how
• 30:25
  Speaker 16: intellectual property is protected in this new era of technology. Anthropic,
• 30:29
  Speaker 16: by the way, was ordered to pay $ 1. 5 billion, with
• 30:32
  Speaker 16: a B dollars, in a different copyright case just last month.
• 30:36
  Speaker 16: So this is probably the first of many.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, think about that. They just go out and
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: they listen and learn and get it for free.
• 30:45
  Speaker 16: Steal, maybe, quote unquote. Yeah. Yeah, that's what they're accusing
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: it of.
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Getting in your business. We do it each weekday morning.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: This morning, we got to talk to Bloomberg's Matt Piper.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt.
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 30:55
  Speaker 16: Thank you. I'm going to go back to MapQuest now
• 30:57
  Speaker 16: and get my way home.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: State lawmakers, speaking of state lawmakers being busy, have sided
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: with wildfire survivors. They rejected a bill that would have
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: limited the funds people could recover from utility companies whose
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: equipment starts wildfires. Legislators then amended the bill over the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: weekend so it doesn't cap damages and they passed it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: It also doesn't limit local governments and private businesses' from
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: recovering losses from utilities that spark fires. A woman from
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Marina del Rey who worked as a signature collector for
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: ballot initiatives for more than 20 years is expected to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: be sentenced today for paying homeless people in Skid Row
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: between $ 2 and $ 3 to register to vote. Brenda Armstrong
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: pleaded guilty to a federal charge of paying another person
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: to register to vote That happened back in June. She's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: facing up to five years in prison. Spider-Man, brand new day, unstoppable.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: For the fifth straight week, it's tops at the box office.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: It took in another $ 22 million over the weekend, beating
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: out Coyote vs. Acme, which opened with $ 15 million in
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: ticket sales. I still want to see that one. The
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Odyssey came in third with a little more than $ 14
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: million at the box office. I still haven't seen that one.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that I'm going to because it's three hours.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And Will saw it and he said it was good,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: but he said, you got to see it in theaters.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm willing to invest that much time. OK,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: let's say good morning now to Dr. Gulati. Dr. Gulati,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on with us this morning.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: We wanted to talk to you about peptides because everybody's
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: talking about them. They're all the rage. but do we
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: really even know what they are? So we thought we'd
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: get an expert on and tell us what are peptides
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and why are people going so crazy for them?
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: Well, Amy, thanks. It's really a very hot topic in healthcare.
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: And so peptides are simply groups of amino acids that
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: are linked together that make a peptide. And when the
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: peptides are much bigger, they become a protein. So it
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: is And peptides throughout the body are messengers. They signal
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: different parts of the body to do different things, make
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: certain hormones, create more blood vessels, heal certain tissue. And
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: so I think that the major craze here is that
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: one of the major problems. benefits that those that are
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: involved in the peptide industry, the peptide business, is that
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: it is going to increase longevity. It is going to
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: increase vitality. It is going to increase the speed at
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: which we heal. So if you have a bad knee,
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: a bad back, a bad shoulder, you have a muscle
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: strain of some kind, taking a peptide is going to
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: be a shortcut to get you back feeling at that,
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: you know, higher level so that you could still perform
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: and not feel bad and maintain this, you know, sense
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: of vitality that you're not a 45 or 50-year-old person
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: that's crippled with, you know, sore muscles and can't exercise.
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: The only issue is, or the biggest issue, is that
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: none of these peptides are FDA approved, the ones that
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: we're specifically talking about, and that I would say there
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: is a knowledge gap. There is some promising basic science research,
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: but for the majority of them, there's really no proven
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: human results that we can look back on. We're not
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: quite sure on the proper dosing. We're not quite sure
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: of the sourcing or the purity of these compounds. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: so there's sort of a black box where people are
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: willing to take these products and really not know if
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: it's pure, where the compounds came from, and if it's
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: going to help you.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask you then, how do we
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: find a reputable brand? Because I am currently taking... protein peptides,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: something or other powder that I put in my coffee.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And I got it because my mom just had knee surgery.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And we're like, oh, you need to boost those protein
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: peptide levels to get everything going again. And she's doing great,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: by the way. But like, where do you know to buy?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, we got ours at, I guess, the equivalent
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of Ralph's up in Oregon at Fred Meyer. And then
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you get it on Amazon. But how do you know
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: if it's a good product or not?
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and even when you look at the various amino
• 35:28
  Speaker 10: acid supplements, the powder, collagen mixtures, you really do not
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: know the powder. The can or the bottle or the
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: jar may say so many milligrams of different proteins. There
• 35:41
  Speaker 10: is absolutely no proof of what it says you're getting
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: is what you're going to get. That really goes without
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: saying with any of these unregulated dietary supplements and the like.
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: So all of the claims really are anecdotal. And I
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: would say for me, as a researcher myself, as a clinician,
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: we have clinical curiosity. We are not totally against peptides
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: as they are rolling out. It's just that we need
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: to see the research. And so, um, again, we, we
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: have such a desire, such a drive to feel good. Uh,
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: you know, the, the baby boomers are getting older. The
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: generation behind us is getting older. And as we're living longer,
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: we're having more problems with, um, our, our balance, our
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: exercise capacity. And we more than anything else want to continue, uh,
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: to feel well and so we are going to turn
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: a blind eye possibly to the safety possibly to the
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: results possibly to the efficacy does this stuff really work
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: and we will sort of turn that blind eye and
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: take an injection Now, you know, the thing is the
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: research is being done in animals like rats and mice,
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: but is a rotator cuff injury in a rat the
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: same thing as a rotator cuff injury in a 50-year-old
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: Hispanic woman? You know, I don't know. Nobody could really
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: tell you. Taking that research from a rat and saying, hey, man,
• 37:17
  Speaker 10: it works in a rat. It's got to work in me.
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: That's just too big of a leap of faith.
• 37:24
  Speaker 12: And I think, again, I.
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: Don't want to leave the audience today with I am
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: totally against this. I think we have to get back
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: to the basics to say we have to be smart consumers.
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: If you are going to pursue the peptide strategy, you know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: participation here. Are you getting it online from an untrained
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: medical practitioner or are you going to a board certified
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: medical doctor, somebody that's in the sports medicine field, somebody
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: that's going to monitor your response, not only for are
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: you getting better, but are you having any side effects
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: that could then be taken care of early?
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Good advice.
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: And a lot to handle there. A lot to handle there, Amy. Yep.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: A lot to handle.
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: Dr.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Joe Gulati, appreciate your time. And it sounds like with
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: so many other things, you know, you just got to
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: do your research, talk to your doctor, find out what
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: works for you and be careful because they might be
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: selling you a whole lot of hooey.
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: Absolutely. I would say proceed with the yellow light flashing.
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: Just be careful.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: Dr.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Joe Gulati, thank you so much for your time and
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: information today. Appreciate it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: Absolutely. Thank you, Amy. All right.
• 38:36
