| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in Las Vegas. Jeff Bliss and I do a deal of reporting about Las Vegas how it's remaking itself into one of the premier cities of the planet Earth, with games, entertainments, in-and-out, Berger, baseball stadium, and now the explosion in front of Trump Hotel. Lots still to learn. |
| 0:25.7 | The man inside the vehicle, Army veteran of many years, said to have destroyed himself with a pistol |
| 0:32.1 | before, during, or after the explosion of crude chemicals inside the cyber truck. It did not explode. It's |
| 0:41.7 | very well made. All the interior must have been devastated by the fire, but it did not punch out to the |
| 0:48.9 | window or the doors. There was no damage to the hotel door, which was just steps away. |
| 0:56.0 | More to learn. |

| 1:38.4 | Dead of bird flu. |
| 1:40.4 | A warning. |
| 1:41.8 | There are more snow geese headed in, thousands more into Pennsylvania. If they bring |
| 1:47.3 | the virus, it will spread to the chickens as the worry, and that will spread to the cattle as the |
| 1:54.3 | worry. These are big agricultural zones. Will spread to people, is the worry. Bird flu. |
| 2:02.5 | Are we ready? |
| 2:04.6 | Jim asked that question. |
| 2:06.3 | We do not have an answer at this point. |
| 2:07.1 | We'll find out. |
| 2:13.0 | A lot of chickens to be destroyed if and when the Canadian geese, 60 or 70 years, |
