Now the bill adds work requirements to Medicaid amid spending cuts Republicans say are necessary. It also will make the soon to expire 2017 tax cuts permanent with exemptions for tip and overtime income. Congressman Steve Scalise, America's ready for a.

Rebirth and we're going to deliver it. President Trump is at the helm now. It's a new day now.

President Trump keeps trying to stop the war in Ukraine. Just posting on Truth Social, he plans to talk this hour with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. There are reports the president also plans a call with Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky. We got a better than expected report on the economy this morning. Instead of less hiring last month there was a slightly big increase than in May, 147,000 jobs created, much bigger than the expectation of 110,000. The June unemployment rate dropped a tenth also unexpectedly to 4.1%.

On Wall street, the Dow's been up more than 100 points as the Nasdaq hits a new record high. The Supreme Court, which just finished its last term, plans to another big transgender case in the next term starting in the fall, a challenge to state restrictions on biological men competing in women's sports. Last term, the justices upheld bans on gender affirming care for transgender youth. While in Chicago, police still searching for gunmen or maybe more after a late night shooting outside a nightclub left four people dead, 14 wounded. America's listening to Fox News.

When you hear Lululemon, you probably think of aligned yoga pants weightlessly soft, like you're wearing next to not. That's why you see them in class, at the grocery store and in the park. But did you know about skirts with built in liner shorts so you can still jump for the Frisbee and tanks and bodysuits with Align's iconic stretch, you won't want to take it off. And with endless style options, you don't have to shop in store or online@lululemon.com.

On Wall street, there are gains again on that better than expected jobs report showing the rise in hiring and the unemployment rate going down slightly. The Dow is now up 290 points, the NASDAQ rising 170 to a new all time high. The S&P 500 is also at a record up 43 points. Trading will end early at 1:00pm Eastern before the 4th of July holiday. And a lot of Americans plan to go somewhere to celebrate this year.
Triple A
About a million more travelers are heading out the door, breaking records. Over 72 million people will be hitting the roads and skies, according to Triple A. That's a staggering 7 million more than in 2019. If you're flying, you probably felt it in your wallet. Triple A says the average round trip domestic flight was $810. That's up 4% from last year. There is a silver lining, though. For drivers. Gas prices are the lowest they've been since 2021.

Fox's Dana Marie McNichol at the airport in Miami, there are only about 59 flights canceled. FlightAware does report about 1300 delays. As for the gas prices, she mentioned AAA's national average for regulars, 316 per gallon. That is 6 cents less than a week ago, 35 cents cheaper than a year ago. There's more vaccine controversy with new restrictions on Covid shots.
Vinay Prasad
Internal documents show that the Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine chief, Dr. Vinay Prasad, personally intervened to put limits on Covid shots from Novavax and Moderna that had already been approved. He disagreed with staff who planned to okay the shots for those 12 and up and instead decided they should be limited to those who face the most risk from COVID 19, like seniors or kids and adults with underlying medical issues. The move is the latest in a series of vaccine restrictions imposed by officials working under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Who has long questioned the benefits of vaccines.
