Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, October 24, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Inflation numbers, meeting with she NBA gambling scandal and car ramming. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the consumer price index increased 0.3% last month. That's down from 0.4% in August. Economists forecasted a 0.4% increase compared with a year ago. Consumer prices are up 3%, slightly below the 3.1% forecast. Core prices, that's a metric that excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.2% below the estimate of 0.3%. Food inflation, which went up a lot in August, slowed down in September. The index for grocery prices climbed 0.3% over the month, down from 0.6% in August. The president is going to meet with the president of China Xi next Thursday. The president leaves for Asia tonight. He's going to Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. He'll meet with the president of China in South Korea. This meeting comes after Trump announced earlier this month that he would impose new 100% tariffs on imports from from China. He'll also meet the new prime minister of Japan, Japan's first female prime minister. The head coach of the Portland Trailblazers, Chauncey Billups and other NBA players were among 34 arrested as part of an FBI investigation. Billups was charged with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. The NYPD was targeting the La Cosa Nostra crime families in two separate operations across multiple states. Cash Patel said the money was funneled to La Cosa Nostra, enriching some of the most notorious criminal networks in the world. The schemers were given non public information about who would be sitting out future games or when they would be pulling themselves out early for injuries or illnesses. The FBI highlighted several different examples of where NBA players would fake an injury and take the player would take themselves out of the game so that their partner could win the bet. Three federal officers were injured after an illegal alien rammed his car into their vehicles to evade arrest. This happened in San Diego. I said this criminal illegal alien who's wanted in his home country of Kuwait and who has a violent criminal history, weaponized his vehicle to narrowly miss hitting innocent bystanders and striking ICE officers before crashing into multiple government vehicles. This occurred in a residential zone with a 20 mile per hour speed limit near a daycare center two more federal officers were hospitalized after another vehicle ramming attack in Arizona.
