IT'S THE LARGEST ACTIVE WILDFIRE IN THE U.S. NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM.

IT'S ALSO THE 5TH-LARGEST WILDFIRE AT OR NEAR A NATIONAL PARK SINCE 2021.OTHER HEADLINES: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS MET TODAY WITH GISLAINE MAXWELL, THE LONGTIME ASSOCIATE OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN, A CONVICTED SEX-OFFENDER AND ONETIME FRIEND OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.

MAXWELL IS SERVING A 20-YEAR SENTENCE FOR SEX-TRAFFICKING.

NO WORD ON WHAT INFORMATION MAXWELL COULD PROVIDE THAT ISN'T ALREADY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

THE MEETING IS SEEN AS AN ATTEMPT BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO EASE CRITICISM THAT OFFICIALS ARE CONCEALING DETAILS OF THE PRESIDENT'S POSSIBLE INTER-ACTIONS WITH EPSTEIN.

WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THE EPSTEIN FILES WITH SENATOR RUBEN GALLEGO, WHO JOINS US IN JUST A MOMENT.WRESTLING SUPERSTAR HULK HOGAN DIED TODAY.

HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK AT HIS HOME IN FLORIDA.

HE WAS 71.

HOGAN WAS A KEY FIGURE IN THE EXPLOSIVE GROWTH OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING IN THE 1980'S AND 90'S.

HIS 6-FOOT-8 INCH, 300- POUND PRESENCE CONNECTED WITH FANS LOOKING FOR BIG ENTERTAINMENT IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

HOGAN WOULD LATER APPEAR IN MOVIES AND REALITY TV SHOWS AND EVEN DABBLE IN POLITICS - HE SPOKE AT LAST YEAR'S GOP CONVENTION IN SUPPORT OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP, WHO TODAY, AS PRESIDENT, CALLED HOGAN A, QUOTE, "GREAT FRIEND."

HULK HOGAN, DEAD, AT 71.AND FAMED TV-CHEF ANNE BURRELL DIED BY SUICIDE LAST MONTH.THE OFFICIAL CAUSE OF DEATH WAS RELEASED BY NEW YORK AUTHORIES TODAY.

BURRELL WAS FOUND UNRESPONSIVE AND SURROUNDED BY DOZENS OF PILLS AT HER BROOKLYN HOME ON JUNE 17TH.

ANNE BURRELL DIED AT AGE 55.>>> ARIZONA SENATOR RUBEN GALLEGO TODAY CALLED ON THE U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

THE RESOLUTION'S PASSAGE WAS BLOCKED BY A REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM OKLAHOMA.

EARLIER TODAY, WE SPOKE WITH SENATOR GALLEGO ABOUT THE RESOLUTION AND OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST.

>> SENATOR, GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

LET'S GET TO THE RESOLUTION.

YOU CALLED FOR THE RELEASE OF THE EPSTEIN FILES.

IT WAS BLOCKED BY A SENATOR FROM OKLAHOMA.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

>> THERE IS A CAMPAIGN IN THE ADMINISTRATION.

THERE WAS THIS COVER UP THAT WAS HAPPENING OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION RING.

WHEN THE PRESIDENT WON THE FIRST ACTIONS HE DID.

HE INSTRUCTED HIS ATTORNEY GENERAL TO RELEASE THE FILES AND SAID I HAVE THIS.

YOU SEE THE SERIES OF CONTINUING COVER UPS.

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT'S THERE THE FILES.

WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO PROTECT.

FOR EIGHT YEARS, THIS ADMINISTRATION AND ALLIES HELP ACCUSED HUNDREDS OF GOOD BEING APART OF THE RING.

STOP LYING AND TRYING TO PROTECT MORE OF YOUR ELITE FRIENDS AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.

>> THE RESOLUTION COULDN'T GET PAST A OKLAHOMA SENATOR.

WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR THAT?

>> HE WANTED UNANIMOUS CONSENT AND OBJECTED IT.

HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

WE HAVE BEEN AS TRANSPARENT AS WE'LL BE.

OFFERED A SHAM VOTE ON THE GRAND JURY FILES THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS TRIED TO RELEASE.

WE HAVE THE FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT WERE HIS GUESTS AND WHO THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER UP FOR.

>> REPUBLICANS SAY NONCREDIBLE EVIDENCE SHOULD NOT BE RELEASED.

NONCREDIBLE EVIDENCE.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?

>> I THINK CERTAINLY WAYS FOR US TO TALK ABOUT TO ATTACK THE VICTIMS AND THEIR IDENTITY.

YOU CAN ALSO BEING COMMON.

PEOPLE WEREN'T PART OF THE RING.

SO, THAT'S NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.

YOU TRY TOE STOP EVERYTHING FROM MOVING FORWARD.

NOW WE KNOW THE THINGS.

WE KNOW, EPSTEIN ATTENDED TRUMP'S WEDDING.

WE KNOW, HE'S SPOKEN FONDLY OF EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL.

NOW HIS DEPUTIES WILL GO AND MEET WITH HER.

THAT'S EXTREMELY RARE.

ALL THAT WE ARE SAYING THERE ARE FAR MORE FINDS.

JUST RELEASE WHAT WE CAN WHILE PROTECTING THE INNOCENT SO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC CAN KNOW.

>> THEYERER RIGGED IN FAVOR OF THE SUPER WEALTHY.

IT WAS NECESSARY TO FIGHT IN THEIR RECORDS WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE.

TALK ABOUT WHY YOU ARE SO AGAINST IT AND WHY, REPUBLICANS WERE SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS.

WE KNOW MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WILL LOSE THEIR FOOD STAMPS.

THE TAX CUT TO THE WEALTHIEST OF THE COUNTRY.

THIS WHOLE TAX CUT IS BASICALLY BEING PAID ON THE BACKS OF WORKING-CLASS AMERICANS AND ARIZONANS.

YOU HAVE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS IN ARIZONA THAT WILL SHUTDOWN EMERGENCY ROOMS.

IF NOT ON MEDICAID YOU WILL SEE HIGHER PREMIUMS AND LACK OF SERVICES.

WE WILL KEEP THEM OPEN.

>> ARE THEY SET IN STONE.

WE KNOW THERE IS APPROPRIATION FUNDING AND ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

ARE THESE CUTS, THE RESCISSION VOTE THAT EFFECTS US HERE AT ARIZONA PBS.

ARE THOSE SET IN STONE OR IS THERE STILL WIGGLE ROOM WITH THE BILLS.

>> LOOK, YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THEY ARE SET IN STONE.

WHEN YOU HAVE BUSINESSES AND NONPROFITTING TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT THE OPERATIONS ARE THEY WILL LOOK AT WHERE THE INCOME IS COMING FROM.

I HAVE A HARD TIME BEING ABLE TO BACKFILL SOME OF THIS.

THEY DON'T START FOR A FEW YEARS.

MANY OF THEM WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT KEEPING THE REALLY SMALL INSTITUTIONS.

IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT INSTITUTIONS OPEN.

I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT URBAN PHOENIX.

I'M TALKING RURAL ARIZONA WHERE 30% OF THE POPULATION IS ON MEDICAID.

WHEN THOSE COMMUNITIES START TO LOSE COVERAGE, THEY ARE OFTEN GOING TO START CUTTING DOWN ON COVERAGE.

>> I GUESS, I'M SAYING IS THERE A CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE?

>> IT'S OVER?

>> WE NEED TO STOP LYING TO OURSELVES.

WE REVERSE IT BY HAVING BETTER ELECTIONS.

THIS TALK OF LIKE WE'LL BE ABLE TO TURN AROUND.

THEY HAD IT IN FRONT OF THEM AND DECIDED TO KEEP GOING FORWARD.

THEY WERE WARNED BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION AND THEY DON'T CARE.

>> YOU VISITED THE IOWA STATE FAIR FROM AUGUST 8th AND 9th.

>> I HAVE TO GO TASTE THEIR CORN.

TRADITIONAL STOPPING.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HIGHER AUGUST.

>> IT'S NO LONGER.

I'M CONTINUING OUR CONVERSATION.

WE HAD NUMEROUS STOP IN RED ARIZONAS.

>> IOWA UNFORTUNATELY HAS THIS.

WE TURN IT AROUND.

IT WILL BE FOUND IN IOWA.

YOU HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT 2028.

WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON 2025 AND 20267.

THAT'S WHERE THE REAL HURT WILL BE.

THEY LOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE AND ALL OF THE OTHER RAMIFICATION.

>> SO, AGAIN, WE UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S GOING THERE.

THE SAME REASON MOST GO THERE.

I HAVE A 6:00 WEEK OLD BOY.

I LOVE THAT JOB TOO.

ANYTHING THAT'S THROWN LOOKING DOWN ARRANGE IS LOOKING DOWN RANGE FROM A WHILE.

>> SAY YOU ARE INTERESTED.

HOW DO DEMOCRATS YOU OR WHOEVER IS RUNNING FROM OFFICE, HOW DO YOU WIN BACK THE SWING VOTERS OR WORKING-CLASS VOTERS.

EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW PRETTY MUCH LIKE A BEATLE ON IT'S BACK.

[ LAUGHTER ] , THAT'S PRETTY -- LOOK, YOU ARE NOT WRONG.

DEMOCRATS HAVE HORRIBLE MESSAGING AND HAVE BEEN MESSAGING HORRIBLY.

WE NEED TO PROVE, NOT JUST SAY, WE ARE HERE FOR WORKING-CLASS PEOPLE.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST CYCLE WE DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN BECAUSE IT WAS TOO SCARY.

I DID BETTER THAN MOST ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

WE HEARD PEOPLE WERE HURTING.

WE DIDN'T SAY PEOPLE WERE GETTING BETTER.

I UNDERSTAND GROWING UP POOR WE FEEL THE STRESS OF NOT PAYING THE BILLS OR DECIDING BETWEEN YOUR WATER OR ELECTRIC OR.

WE WERE VERY REALISTIC ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE BORDER.

THE LAST ADMINISTRATION WERE TRYING TO WISH THERE WASN'T A PROMISE.

THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT THE BORDER AND TRY TO FIND SOLUTIONS.

WHATEVER HAPPENED AND WHOEVER IS RUNNING WHETHER IN 2028.

THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND, WE ARE HERE TO BRING SOLUTIONS TO PEOPLE'S LIVES.

WE CAN'T BE AT A PARTY THAT LIES TO THE PUBLIC AND VOTERS AND THINK WE WILL SUCCEED IN THAT MANNER.

IT'S NOT IN OUR NATURE.

WE ARE HERE TO HELP WORKING-CLASS PEOPLE GET OUT OF THE SITUATION THEY ARE IN AND LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM.

WE TRY TO IGNORE IT WE GO AGAINST THE REAL, YOU KNOW, DNA.

WE WILL HAVE THEM LOOKING AT OTHER SOLUTIONS.

THEY WILL BE FOUND IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THEY WILL SCARE THEM ABOUT SOMETHING.

THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY VERSES US VERSES WHISTLING THROUGH THE GRAVE YAR.

>> SENATOR REUBEN GALLERO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THE DEATH RATE FOR CANCER HAS NOTICABLY DECREASED SINCE THE 1990'S.

ADVANCEMENTS IN SCREENING AND TREATMENTS ARE LARGELY THE REASON, BUT ARE THERE "OTHER" FACTORS LEADING TO THE ENCOURAGING NUMBERS?JOINING US NOW IS JOSH LABAER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ASU'S BIODESIGN INSTITUTE .

ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THE DEATH RATE INCREASED SINCE THE 1990s.

>> FOR SURE, THE RATES HAVE DROPPED WITH MEN AND WOMEN WE SEE THE BREAST CANCER MORTALITY GOING DOWN.

>> SCREENING, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

>> THAT'S A BIG EFFECT.

WE KNOW THE EARLIER WE DETECT CANCER THE BETTER CHANCE REHAVE TO CURE IT.

WE DO MAMMOGRAMS FOR WOMEN AND WE DO COLONOSCOPIES FOR COLON CANCER.

>> ARE THOSE THE TWO BIGGEST.

THE SCREENING THAT HAS THE BIGGEST IMPACT?

>> PROSTATE CANCER WITH THE PSA TEST.

PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO DO CT SCANS IN HEAVY SMOKERS THAT COULD LEAD TO A BENEFIT AS WELL.

NOT AS CLEAR AS THE OTHERS.

>> IT'S LUNGS.

>> IN THE HEAVY SMOKERS AS WELL.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT TREATMENTS.

WE SPEAK A LOT ABOUT IT.

SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE ENCOURAGING STORIES.

WHY THE ADVANCEMENTS.

>> IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD.

THE CANCER STARTED IN THE MID 70s.

PEOPLE PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT AND RESEARCH AND UNIVERSITIES TO UNDERSTAND THE PATH WAYS THAT CAUSE CANCER.

WE HAVE OVERTIME BEEN GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AT TREATING THIS DISEASE.

INITIALLY, IT WAS THE CLASSIC CHEMOTHERAPY.

OVERTIME, WE UNDERSTAND THE PACT WAYS THAT CAUSE THE DISEASE.

THEY TARGET THE PATH WAYS.

THE DRUGS ARE LESS TOXIC AND FEEL LESS ILL.

IT WILL STILL STOP THE CANCERS.

>> THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF CANCER OR ACTUAL CAUSE OR INITIAL POINT OF CANNER SER.

>> WE ARE DEVELOPING DRUGS TO INTERRUPT THEM.

WE TRY TO BLOCK THE PATH WAYS TO MAKE THEM DO THE THINGS THEY DO.

>> WHAT'S THE LATEST.

>> THE BIGGEST THEY THINK IS IMMUNOTHERAPIES.

THEY EMERGED IN THE MID 2010s.

THEY AUGMENT THE BODY'S OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM.

THEY FIGHT THE CANCER AND KILL IT.

WE HAVE SEEN REMARKABLE OUTCOMES.

CARTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE DISEASE.

WHEN I WAS AN ONCOLOGY IT HAD A SIX MONTH PROGNOSIS.

HE WENT ON FOR A DECADE.

ALMOST CLEARED OF IT.

>> WHEN IT FIRST STARTED WE DID SO ACTIVITY.

IS THAT BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST MAIN STREET.

OF.

>> IT IS MAINSTREAM.

I'D SAY NOT FOR EVERY CANCER OR PATIENT.

NOT EVERYONE RESPONDS.

IT'S ROUTINELY DONE IN NUMEROUS CANCERS.

>> WHICH STILL NEED WORK.

>> IT'S A BIT OF A MIX.

I'D SAY.

BREAST CANCER HAS SEEN A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT.

IT HAS TO DO WITH EARLY DETECTION.

IF THE WOMAN IS DETECTED WITH A SMALL TUMOR AND NO EVIDENCE OF SPREAD.

SHE'S PROBABLY, ALMOST 100% FIVE YEARS SURVIVAL.

IF IT'S A STAGE ONE CANCER OR STAGE TWO CANCER.

REALLY ENCOURAGING IN THAT DISEASE.

OF WE HAVE GOTTEN BETTER WITH COLON CANCER.

BECAUSE OF THE COLONOSPY.

IF WE CATCH THE TUMORS THEY CAN BE REMOVED AT THE TIME OF THE COLONOSCOPY.

THERE ARE FORMS OF CANCER THAT'S NOT ENCOURAGING.

STILL A CHALLENGE.

LUNG CANCER IS STILL A CHALLENGE.

WHICH CAN DETECT THE TUMORS EARLIER.

PANCREATIC CANCER IS HARD TO TREATMENT.

>> AGAIN, THIS SOUNDS LIKE DETECTION IS PLAYING A BIG PART.

ONCE THEY ARE DETECTED ARE THERE TREATMENTS THAT SOME CANCERS SEEM LIKE THEY ARE MORE AMENABLE TOO?

>> AGAIN, SOME LIKE BREAST CANCER A GOOD REGIMENT FOR THAT.

IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE AN IMMUNE THOUGH THERAPY DISEASE.

IT COULD BE GOOD.

THOSE THAT DON'T RESPOND WELL.

THAT'S WHERE THE FIGHT NEEDS TO CONTINUE.

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PEOPLE FAIL.

>> IS IT A QUESTION OF FIGHTING ONE CANCER OR USING THEIR TECHNIQUES.

KNOWIO IT'S BIG AS FAR AS TREATMENTS AND THESE SORTS OF PERSONALIZED THERAPIES IF YOU WILL.

PERSONALIZED THERAPIES THE WAY OF THE FUTURE OR OTHER SIDE?

>> IT IS.

SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO CALL IT INSTEAD OF PERSONALIZED PROCESSION THERAPY.

>> SOME PEOPLE REFER TO IT IN PART BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO MEDICAL COOL AND BECAME AN ONCOLOGIES THERE WAS BREAST CANCER.

WE KNOW BREAST CANCER IS FIVE OR SIX DIFFERENT DISEASES.

BASED ON THE MOLECULES THAT DEFINE THOSE CANCERS.

SO, WE NEED TO LOOK, NOT JUST AT THE FACT IT STARTED IN THE BREAST BUT WHAT THE PATH WAYS THAT DEFINE THE TOW MORE AND COME YOU GOT WITH BETTER THERAPIES.

>> WHAT EXCITES YOU MOST AS FAR AS CANCER TREATMENTS?

THERAPIES DIAGNOSIS.

>> THE WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL APPROACH LOOKING AT THE PATH WAYS FINDING BETTER WAYS TO STIMULATE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM TO AUGMENT THE AREA WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF PROMISE.

>> THANK YOU, DR.JOSHUA, GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
