Tom Horne denounces controversial attack ad targeting Kimberly Yee | FOX 10 Talks
video

Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne appeared on FOX 10 Talks to strongly denounce a controversial independent attack ad targeting State Treasurer Kimberly Yee. Horne called the out-of-state ad shocking and abhorrent due to its appeals to ethnic prejudice against Asian Americans. He emphasized that federal campaign laws prohibit his campaign from coordinating with or directly contacting the California organization responsible for releasing the advertisement. During the interview, Horne also addressed ongoing political disagreements with Yee regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. He claimed to possess documentation from an association website proving Yee served on a committee related to these initiatives for four years, countering her public denials. Horne stated his lifelong opposition to these programs is rooted in his belief in individual merit rather than treating people based on race. Additionally, Horne discussed his efforts regarding school safety across the state, noting that his department increased the number of police officers on school campuses from 117 to almost 500 over the last three years. He emphasized that providing resource officers is a top priority to protect students, teachers, and staff.

Rental car scams exposed: What to check before you drive | FOX 10 Talks
video

Vacation season is underway, but travelers need to be on alert for rental car surprises and unexpected fees. Jasmine from the Better Business Bureau joins the broadcast to share critical tips for consumers making rental vehicle purchases. Many travelers face unexpected challenges when receiving their final invoices after paying in advance or dropping off their vehicles. To avoid these issues, experts recommend always using reputable websites and conducting a quick search if a company appears unfamiliar. The Better Business Bureau advises against clicking on deals that seem too good to be true, as this is often a major red flag. Additionally, travelers can call the bureau directly to verify what information is available on specific rental car companies before booking. Consumers are also urged to protect themselves by taking video documentation during the vehicle walk-around at check-in and drop-off. An anchor shared a personal experience in New York where video evidence disproved a claim that a rental car was never returned. Doing your due diligence by taking photos of the gas tank to verify it is full can also prevent unfair fuel charges.

How to keep pets safe from fireworks this Fourth of July | FOX 10 Talks
video

The Arizona Humane Society is sharing essential pet safety tips ahead of the Fourth of July, which is the number one time of the year for pets to go missing. Fireworks and holiday parties can easily scare or distract pets, making it crucial for owners to ensure their animals are microchipped with updated information. Representatives recommend keeping pets in a safe, secure area with fresh water and utilizing distractions like a television or radio to drown out loud noises. The organization brought a kitty cat named Shakira, who was rescued three weeks ago as an injured stray in a Sunnyslope location. She received treatment at the trauma hospital for a head injury, full-body injuries, and a mass removal in her ear, and she is now fully recovered. Shakira represents one of the more than 28,000 sick, injured, and abused pets that the Arizona Humane Society cares for every single year. Additionally, a new city ordinance regarding animal tethering will go into effect in about 30 days. While the Arizona Humane Society recommends never tethering pets due to severe risks like tangling, they offer alternatives through their "Break the Chain" initiative at azhumane.org. The non-profit relies heavily on community support through adoption, fostering, volunteering, and donations to continue their life-saving work during the busy summer heat and extended kitten season.

Nancy Guthrie search update: FBI Bitcoin ransom details | FOX 10 Talks
video

The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie enters a new phase as details emerge regarding a second ransom note sent five days after she vanished. In the case, which has now reached 185 days, the alleged kidnappers claimed that Nancy Guthrie was accidentally killed and subsequently "buried with nature." FOX News contributor and former Los Angeles district attorney Josh Ritter joined the broadcast to analyze the psychological and strategic elements of these strange communications. Authorities are examining the multi-million dollar ransom demands and subsequent digital tracking efforts. While the initial ask for the ransom was 4 million dollars, the FBI strategic response involved an enticing offer of an arbitrary lower number in Bitcoin to track the crypto wallet transactions. According to the investigation details, the captors never accessed the account, leaving law enforcement to sift through over 40,000 tips and various media communications sent to TMZ and local affiliates in Tucson. Legal expert Josh Ritter notes that the operation appears to be a prepared crime gone wrong rather than a sophisticated kidnapping outfit, suggesting the perpetrator may have originally intended to target the daughter, Savannah Guthrie. With 185 days passed, Ritter highlights that human intelligence and individuals coming forward will likely be the key to breaking the case. Investigators continue to track resources, including suspicious community communications from an unidentified individual using male pseudonyms to seek money from media outlets in exchange for information.

Leaked ransom note claims Nancy Guthrie died | Fox 10 Talks
video

The search for Nancy Guthrie continues as the case drags on for months, bringing new emotional developments from her family. On the Today show, Savannah Guthrie spoke out alongside co-anchors Peg Melvin and Carson Daly to make a desperate plea for information. She stated, "I wanted to just take the opportunity to. Ask people to really to beg people to come forward. Somebody knows something." The family remains in agony and cannot be at peace while the search continues, despite a $1 million reward being offered. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joined hosts Ellen McNamara and Trenton Hooker on FOX to analyze the latest updates, including insights into a second ransom note leaked by law enforcement sources. The note claimed that Nancy Guthrie accidentally died after the kidnapping, potentially expressing remorse but offering nothing actionable. Coffindaffer noted that this communication is highly unique for a kidnapping ransom note, especially since it lacked a specific dollar amount, prompting the family to offer an ambiguous amount just to ensure a proper burial. The investigation also involves tech and forensic components, with DNA evidence currently in the FBI lab following a struggle with a local sheriff's department. Additionally, TMZ Director Harvey Levin shared that his organization was in constant contact with the FBI, handing over communication and crypto addresses, until a proposal to fund a documentary slammed the door shut one month ago. Blockchain security firm CertiK, a leading $2 billion company, has also investigated the case, describing it as a wrench attack by proxy.
