inspiring act, in the city of Washington, D .C.,

Kickoff is at one on CBS. In top news, the story
of Ozempic's rise is rooted in a remarkable history
of venomous science. David Mendoza, diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes in 1994, struggled with
obesity, weighing over 300 pounds. In 2006, he
discovered Bayetta, an injectable medication
that helped manage his diabetes and appetite,
resulting in significant weight loss. This paved
the way for medications like Ozempic, which are
derived from GLP -1, a gut hormone that promotes
insulin release and enhances feelings of fullness.
As research on these medications progresses,
a new oral treatment is also on the horizon.
The Gila Monster's venom surprisingly opened
doors to revolutionary diabetes treatments. In
business news, the benchmark 10 -year Treasury
yield rose after the Federal Reserve cut rates.
United States stocks ended the week at fresh
record highs on Friday. But the sustainability
of the rally now likely hinges on the 10 -year
treasury yield, according to Ron Albaheri, Chief
Investment Officer at Laird Norton Weatherby.
The S &P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and
NASDAQ indexes all closed at new highs. Albaheri
believes the bull market needs tame 10 -year
treasury yields and the bond vigilance to stay
at bay. He expressed concerns about potential
Fed interference by the Trump administration.

Let's talk tech. Jury selection will begin on
Monday to determine if Amazon illegally tricked
customers into paying for prime benefits. in
the first of two major lawsuits from the Federal
Trade Commission. This case alleges that Amazon
misled consumers about the sign -up and cancellation
process, violating Section 5 of the Federal Trade
Commission Act and the Restore Online Shoppers
Confidence Act. The Federal Trade Commission
claims Amazon used dark patterns to enroll customers
without their clear consent and made cancellation
difficult. Amazon has denied these allegations,
stating that customers enjoy Prime and the sign
-up and cancellation processes are clear. The
government recently won a ruling against Amazon
regarding billing information and in entertainment
news. One battle after another is a thrilling
action movie that runs nearly three hours, delivering
breathless, barnstorming mayhem. Directed by
Paul Thomas Anderson, the film features a career
-high performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, who
plays Bob Ferguson. With a budget of $175 million,
this ambitious project adapts the Thomas Pinken
novel, Vineland. Set in an alternative reality,
the film critiques political issues while exploring
complex family dynamics. While Sean Penn's portrayal
of the psychotic Colonel is amusing, it risks
becoming cartoonish. Overall, this film is likely
a strong contender for best picture. Well, all
righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the American
civil rights leader and activist, Frederick Douglass.
And he said, This sentiment underscores the enduring
fight for justice and equality, as exemplified
by the Emancipation Proclamation, and reminds
us that meaningful change often requires perseverance
and resilience. And that's a wrap for this morning.
