Good morning, everyone. I'm Megan Kelly. It's Tuesday, June 16th, 2026. And this is your AM
00:00:38.520
Update. I think a lot of great things are going to happen in the Middle East right now. And
00:00:42.740
very importantly, the oil is plummeting down. President Trump arrives at the G7 as the recently
00:00:48.980
signed agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz
00:00:54.060
takes center stage. I am not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children,
00:01:01.900
and that is why this ban must happen. The UK moving to ban social media access for children
00:01:08.060
under 16 years old. A 21-year-old woman thrown from a 130-foot bridge without a rope attached
00:01:15.880
in a tragic accident, as the guides now face homicide charges. And President Trump announcing
00:01:22.480
a 4th of July rally on the National Mall, complete with military flyovers and what he promises will
00:01:27.960
be the largest fireworks show in history. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM
00:01:34.100
Update. For the first time since World War II, our national debt has exceeded the gross domestic
00:01:44.880
product. America's reckless government spending keeps catching up with us. Higher inflation,
00:01:49.680
higher prices, higher cost of living expenses, and higher interest payments on the national debt.
00:01:55.140
Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow, or print.

Smart retirement planners prepare for potential setbacks, and they can do that by diversifying

converting an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA and physical gold. You don't
00:02:22.700
pull the ripcord on your parachute once you've already hit the ground. Don't wait for economic
00:02:27.780
turbulence to diversify. Text MK to the number 989898 and consider owning some gold from Birch
00:02:34.980
Gold. President Trump arriving in Evian Le Bon, France yesterday for the annual G7 summit,
00:02:43.100
just hours after announcing a new agreement aimed at ending the war with Iran and reopening the
00:02:48.900
Strait of Hormuz. The president traveling to France after celebrating his 80th birthday at
00:02:53.980
the UFC event on the White House South Lawn late Sunday night. Mr. Trump beginning the summit with
00:02:59.540
a one-on-one meeting alongside its host, French President Emmanuel Macron, where the two leaders
00:03:05.100
addressed the preliminary agreement with Iran. President Trump announcing that the agreement is
00:03:10.280
now signed and that commercial traffic is already beginning to move through the strait.
00:03:15.100
I'm very happy to say very signed. The deal's all signed. And the strait is already partially
00:03:23.380
opened. As you know, they're doing a little hunting for a couple of mines that they've
00:03:29.860
already found. But it's essentially ships are starting to go out now on Friday. It'll be
00:03:36.320
completely opened we got along very well with iran it's a different set of leaders as you know
00:03:43.080
the first set is gone the second set is gone and we found the third set to be very smart
00:03:48.380
strong very smart but we ended up making a deal i felt badly that we had to go back on the attack
00:03:56.940
for two nights and i thought a third but we made it before that happened but i think a lot of great
00:04:03.980
things are going to happen in the Middle East right now, and very importantly, the oil is
00:04:08.380
plummeting down, and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today, like record kind of
00:04:16.560
numbers. The initial framework aimed at opening the strait, ending the American blockade of Iranian
00:04:22.260
ports, and extending the ceasefire for 60 days, while the two countries negotiate the far more
00:04:27.600
difficult questions surrounding the regime's nuclear program. The strait expected to reopen
00:04:33.020
fully on Friday after mines are cleared from the critical shipping route and the agreement is
00:04:38.080
formally signed. However, senior Trump administration officials telling the AP that it will take
00:04:43.220
weeks for the straight traffic to return to pre-war levels. President Macron calling the
00:04:48.420
agreement an important step toward fixing the nuclear issue and pledging that France is ready
00:04:53.140
to carry its fair share of the work required to reopen the waterway. The president and Vice
00:04:58.220
President J.D. Vance electronically signing the memorandum on behalf of the U.S. before Mr.
00:05:03.260
Trump left Washington, an Iranian official signing as well. The formal signing ceremony expected
00:05:09.400
Friday in Geneva, with Vice President Vance expected to represent the U.S., President Trump
00:05:14.740
telling reporters he had not yet decided on whether he would attend. The complete text of
00:05:19.780
the memorandum has not yet been released, leaving important details about the agreement unclear.
00:05:25.420
President Trump posting to Truth Social last night, quote,
00:05:28.220
Iran has agreed to never have a nuclear weapon.
00:05:31.560
Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran $300 million is fake news, put out by the
00:05:39.180
It is unclear whether the $300 million figure is a typo or a reference to reports of a possible
00:05:49.040
That fund reportedly will be financed by neighboring Gulf states and remains contingent
00:05:54.180
on Iran's compliance with the agreement, not paid directly by the U.S.
00:05:59.260
Mr. Trump initially telling reporters yesterday afternoon the text of the agreement would
00:06:02.980
likely become public after Friday's signing ceremony, Fox News later reporting that the
00:06:08.180
administration instead planned to release it within 24 to 48 hours.
00:06:13.180
Iranian President Masoud Pujeskian also presenting a more cautious description of the breakthrough,
00:06:19.220
calling the memorandum an important step toward ending the war and beginning negotiations
00:06:23.920
but stressing that a final agreement has not yet been completed.
00:06:28.180
Iran taking center stage at the G7 with Ukraine, trade, and critical minerals also on the agenda.
00:06:34.640
The president yesterday addressing recent conversations with Presidents Putin and Zelensky.
00:06:39.840
We had a very good conversation yesterday with President Zelensky and President Putin.
00:06:48.380
And I see maybe we can do something there. I really do.
00:06:54.420
So now that this is finished, we're going to be focusing on that, see if we can get that one done.
00:07:00.580
25,000 people a month are dying, mostly soldiers, and that shouldn't happen.
00:07:06.420
But I had two very good conversations yesterday.
00:07:09.400
The leaders of the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan opening the summit last night
00:07:15.400
with an outdoor working dinner at the beautiful Hotel Royal Evian overlooking Lake Geneva in the
00:07:21.900
French Alps. President Macron also preparing to host President Trump for a separate dinner on
00:07:26.880
Wednesday at the Palace of Versailles, commemorating America's 250th anniversary
00:07:32.000
and France's historic support for American independence. President Trump scheduled to
00:07:37.660
continue meeting with the other G7 leaders today and tomorrow. British Prime Minister
00:07:43.640
Keir Starmer announcing plans to ban children under 16 from social media, with the restrictions
00:07:49.600
expected to take effect in spring 2027. The new rules must first be approved by both
00:07:55.240
houses of parliament, where little resistance is expected. The ban would target platforms built
00:08:00.060
around users posting and sharing content, interacting with one another, and receiving
00:08:04.700
material selected by algorithms. That means children under 16 would be blocked from services
00:08:10.040
including TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, YouTube, and X. Messaging apps like WhatsApp and
00:08:17.040
Signal would remain available, along with certain educational, shopping, and music streaming
00:08:22.120
services. Starmer also proposing restrictions that extend beyond traditional social media.
00:08:28.100
Children under 16 would be barred from live streaming themselves on any platform. Still
00:08:33.460
under consideration overnight social media curfews and mandatory breaks in infinite scrolling for
00:08:39.440
users under 18. More details on the proposals expected to be released next month. Technology
00:08:45.260
Secretary Liz Kendall clarifying yesterday that enforcement would target the companies,
00:08:50.300
not children or their parents. Companies that fail to comply regularly could face fines of up to
00:08:56.120
18 million pounds, roughly 24 million U.S. dollars, or 10 percent of their worldwide revenue,
00:09:03.320
whichever is greater. Britain's communications regulator, Ofcom, will now study which age
00:09:09.340
verification systems can reliably determine whether a user is older than 16 while developing
00:09:14.780
a broader enforcement strategy. The government argues those checks must be harder to evade
00:09:19.920
than the ones introduced in Australia, where many teenagers have reportedly continued reaching
00:09:24.340
social media despite a similar under-16 ban. The plan following a nationwide public comment period,
00:09:31.080
drawing more than 116,000 responses, finding 9 in 10 parents back an under-16 social media ban.
00:09:39.340
The Prime Minister yesterday making the case for the ban.
00:09:45.820
I think they will welcome a clear and decisive choice.
00:09:49.400
And they will welcome a government that stands by them,
00:09:52.640
that supports them to do the best for their children,
00:09:59.780
against the most powerful companies in the world.
00:10:08.460
It doesn't have to be. I always prefer the politics of partnership. And I fundamentally believe that we must harness the power of technology to build a stronger, fairer Britain. But we must also protect our children.
00:10:23.680
And so I want this message to be heard loud and clear.
00:10:27.660
I am not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children.
00:10:39.220
Critics argue a blanket ban attacks children's access without fixing the platforms themselves,
00:10:44.820
leaving addictive algorithms and other dangerous features in place while teenagers find workarounds
00:10:52.040
They also ask, what about parents and personal responsibility?
00:10:56.760
The UK crackdown comes as social media companies face a widening legal assault in the US.
00:11:02.720
Meta, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube among the companies facing thousands of claims from
00:11:07.420
families, school districts, municipalities, and state governments, litigation that could
00:11:12.360
reshape how the platforms are designed and marketed to children.

three extreme sports guides now facing homicide charges in brazil after throwing a 21 year old
00:13:01.360
woman from a 130 foot bridge without attaching her to the rope meant to keep her secure the
00:13:08.680
horrifying mistake unfolding saturday morning at an abandoned railroad overpass known as the
00:13:14.500
skeleton bridge, outside the city of Limerra in Sao Paulo state. Maria Rodriguez defrayed us,
00:13:22.140
heading there to try rope jumping, which works differently from a traditional bungee jump.
0.99
00:13:26.820
Instead of bouncing the jumper back upward on an elastic cord, the rope catches the person
00:13:31.780
near the bottom of the fall, carrying them into a long swinging arc. But the system only works
00:13:37.720
if the rope is connected. The fatal jump captured on video going viral on X over the weekend.
00:13:44.380
Rodriguez de Freitas held horizontally in a position known as the airplane.
00:13:48.780
Her face pointed toward the open air, her arms and legs stretched outward.
0.92
00:13:54.300
The instructors carrying her closer to the edge, one holding her top half, another holding near
0.78
00:13:59.200
her waist. A third instructor helping lift Rodriguez de Freitas' feet into the air,
00:14:05.420
then stepping back as the two front instructors themselves attached to safety ropes marched
00:14:11.100
toward the edge. Then, as the men begin swinging her body forward, someone off-camera appears to
00:14:17.560
realize what is about to happen. According to a translation by the Brazilian outlet O Globo,
00:14:22.880
a voice cries out about the rope, but the guides have already released her.
00:14:32.220
Rodrigues de Freitas disappearing over the edge as a horrified witness shouts,
00:14:36.880
Jesus as the camera pans down toward the ground. The rope that should be racing over the edge
00:14:42.480
behind Rodriguez de Freitas still lying on the platform, never attached. Witnesses attempting
00:14:49.160
to provide emergency aid, emergency crews pronouncing Rodriguez de Freitas dead at the
00:14:54.080
scene due to her injuries. She was the first person scheduled to jump that morning. Police
00:14:59.500
initially taking six people connected to the operation into custody, three people who had
00:15:04.320
been working at a nearby tent later released. The three guides, accused of handling the jump,
00:15:09.480
now face homicide charges, according to Oglobo. Two of the men fleeing into nearby woods once
00:15:16.000
they realized what had happened, according to the New York Post, police ultimately using a
00:15:20.900
military helicopter to locate them. All three men now held in pretrial detention, the judge citing
00:15:27.480
their attempt to escape, ruling, quote, their freedom could lead to the repetition of equally
00:15:32.580
dangerous conduct. The two guides telling police they suffered a, quote, blackout, claiming they
00:15:38.340
could not remember when the safety check failed or even who had been responsible for attaching
00:15:43.240
the ropes. The third man reportedly claiming he had only been asked to hold Rodriguez DeFreitas
00:15:49.280
by the legs and help with the launch. Police also learning the guides apparently had no fixed
00:15:54.580
assignments for completing the safety checks, meaning no single person was clearly responsible
00:15:59.800
for making sure the jumper was secured, according to local outlet UOL. Attorneys for the three men
00:16:06.340
pointing to their previous experience and arguing they had never been involved in a fatal jump
00:16:11.360
before, the three men facing between 6 and 30 years in prison if convicted. President Trump
00:16:18.800
announcing plans for a massive July 4th rally on the National Mall, promising a military spectacle
00:16:24.420
and the largest fireworks show in history to mark America's 250th birthday.
00:16:30.520
The tribute to America set to begin at 7 p.m. on Independence Day,
00:16:34.680
stretching from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.
00:16:39.620
This huge celebration will honor our country's people, spirit, strength, resolve, and triumphs.
00:16:46.140
More than 300 members of military bands, orchestras, and ceremonial units
00:16:50.600
will perform patriotic classics, along with selections from President Trump's own playlist,
00:16:56.280
curated by DJ DJT himself. The program also featuring military flyovers and air shows,
00:17:03.560
followed by keynote remarks from the president and what he promises will be, quote,
00:17:07.640
the largest fireworks show in U.S. history. The announcement following the successful UFC
00:17:13.320
Freedom 250 at the White House over the weekend, kicking off a summer of events celebrating America's
00:17:18.740
250th. Some critics, mostly Democrats and the usual collection of wet blankets in the media,
00:17:25.200
now objecting to what sounds like a Trump rally on the 4th of July, accusing him of hijacking
00:17:31.080
America's birthday, turning it into a celebration of himself, and blurring the line, they say,
00:17:36.120
between a national commemoration and a political event. The concern, echoing complaints surrounding
00:17:42.240
another major piece of the anniversary celebration, the Great American State Fair,
00:17:46.700
opening on the National Mall later this month. At least seven states, all Democrat-led,
00:17:52.340
backing out, most blaming the price of building and operating their own exhibits.
00:17:57.300
An Oregon official also citing concern that the fair had become more politically partisan
00:18:01.900
than state officials were originally led to believe. The fair's entertainment lineup facing
00:18:07.540
its own revolt. Several performers withdrawing shortly after their appearances were announced,
00:18:12.660
claiming they had agreed to join a national birthday celebration
00:18:16.500
without understanding how closely it would be connected to President Trump.
00:18:21.560
Among those dropping out, Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, the Commodores,
00:18:25.660
Morris Day, Young MC, and the latest touring version of Milli Vanilli.
00:18:30.940
In other words, the backlash has cost the fair some recognizable names,
00:18:37.480
President Trump responding by adding another rally to the calendar,
00:18:40.700
announcing he will personally headline the fair's June 24th opening ceremony.
00:18:46.480
Both events will be free and open to the public.
00:19:10.700
Brazil's lime cheesecake started bright, didn't let up.
00:19:13.260
Nah, for me, Italian cappuccino was the standout in the box.
00:19:16.320
But if we're talking decadent performance, that's all France.
00:19:19.160
Chocolate creme brulee had the richest finishes.
00:19:23.540
And Mexico's caramel churro ice cap gave me chills.
00:19:27.040
We are, of course, talking about Tim's taste of the globe lineup.
00:19:29.800
New globally inspired Timbits and ice cap flavors available at Tim Horton's for a limited time.
