Semiconductor industry growth driving Phoenix economic boom | FOX 10 Talks
video

Dennis Hoffman with the Williams Research Institute at the W.P. Carey School of Business, is an expert in the growth of the semiconductor industry in the Phoenix economy. He joins FOX 10 talks to discuss how the region has transitioned into a prominent leader in the semiconductor game following the introduction of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which builds upon a long-standing relationship that local communities share with Intel. The historical roots of this tech ecosystem trace back to 1948 when Motorola established research operations in the area with an eye to sell to the military. The emergence of this economic hub resulted from a collaborative effort spanning roughly 15 years to come to the fore, starting with initial visits and groundwork planted during the Brewer administration. A large consortium involving the business community, governors, tax incentives, and the education community—including ASU President Michael Crow working to demonstrate engineering capabilities—helped secure the operations. This growth is significantly impacting economic development in the West Valley, where rapidly increasing job opportunities are shifting traditional traffic patterns that previously forced residents to drive west to east for employment every morning.

How the 4.2% inflation increase impacts your wallet and savings | FOX 10 Phoenix
video

The economy is seeing a fresh surge in inflation as the new Consumer Price Index shows prices rising 4.2% annually in May, marking the highest level seen in three years. Financial expert Matt Shultz joined FOX 10 Talks to break down the numbers and discuss how the ongoing increases affect everyday consumers and businesses alike. While rising gas prices over the last couple months are driving a significant portion of the inflation, a variety of other factors, including supply chain issues and domestic cattle availability affecting grocery items like beef, ground beef, and steak, are contributing to the widespread economic strain. The impact of inflation is being felt harder today than it was six months or a year ago, extending beyond consumers to hit businesses that face higher operational and production costs. While the war in Iran is a major mitigating factor driving up energy costs, history shows that economic shifts also ebb and flow based on diverse disruptions ranging from past outbreaks of the bird flu to global supply chain challenges. In response to the uncertainty, Shultz noted that the Federal Reserve may hike interest rates before too long or keep them similar, which maintains an environment where people can find high rates to help their future financial lives. To navigate the fluctuating economy, consumers are advised to build defensive assumptions into their personal budgets by planning for the worst and hoping for the best. Shultz recommended taking advantage of current high levels in high-yield savings accounts to grow personal savings while focusing on controlling manageable financial choices.

Online sleuths arrested at Nancy Guthrie Tucson crime scene | FOX 10 Phoenix
video

Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson on February 1st. Five months into the investigation, there are still no answers, and private investigator Logan Clark, CEO of Global Persuas, believes the trail is getting colder. Clark asserts that the situation will not have a good ending, stating his firm belief that something happened to Guthrie between day one and day three, which panicked the amateur perpetrators. He also notes that there had to be more than one person involved due to the logistics of the abduction. The investigation has faced severe criticism, with commentators calling for the removal of Sheriff Nanos from the top of the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Clark details major missteps, highlighting that the sheriff released the crime scene within 30 hours, allowing people to walk through it and effectively destroying critical evidence. The department's subsequent focus on checking surveillance film across 170 Walmart locations in Arizona is described as a directionless and botched effort from the very beginning. Furthermore, although the FBI joined the case, federal officials have not stepped in front of microphones to provide any public updates. Adding to the chaos, three online content creators were arrested at the scene after drawing public attention, including a controversy over a restroom tent. One of the individuals has 32 possible criminal records ranging from multiple drunk driving charges to assault and failure on financial responsibility regarding child custody. While some defend their presence under the First Amendment, Clark and the broadcasters warn that online sleuths, conspiracy theorists, and wannabe detectives are complicating the developing investigation without verification.

Arizona Senator faces scrutiny over $1,500 chicken order | FOX 10 Phoenix
video

A controversy dubbed "chicken gate" has emerged involving the Arizona Senate Republicans and a dynamic surrounding a lobbyist-funded lunch. A tweet from Kim Quintero, a spokesperson with the Arizona Senate Republicans, noted that an Arizona Democrat tried turning one lobbyist-funded lunch into two. The lobbying firm Cornerstone paid for a catered meal from Gus’s Fried Chicken that fed over 100 people on Monday, and that same evening, the firm told the restaurant the event was a success. However, a Democrat lawmaker complained that the chicken was overcooked and dry, demanding they remake the entire order for pickup on Saturday, June 27th. Reporter TJ L'Heureux from the Arizona Agenda investigated the situation by filing a records request with the Arizona Senate. Email records between the lobbying firm Cornerstone and assistants of members of the Arizona Senate confirmed the details. The individual involved was identified as Senator Kiana Sears, a Democrat who represents Mesa. The original meal order prepared for the Capitol was substantial, consisting of 240 pieces of chicken, 85 mac and cheese sides, 85 coleslaws, and a combined 14 gallons of sweet tea and lemonade, totaling a bill of over $1,500. The requested remake date of June 27 at 5:30 p.m. raised questions because the Senate is closed on Saturdays and the Arizona Legislature is likely to be out of session after negotiating a state budget deal between Governor Katie Hobbs and Republican leaders. Senator Sears was appointed to replace Senator Eva Birch, who left office in March 2025, and Sears is up for election this year. When contacted about the order, Senator Sears did not offer further comment, and sources now indicate that the second chicken delivery will not take place.

Dr. Avi Loeb reacts to space technology whistleblower disclosure push | FOX 10 Phoenix
video

There is a bipartisan political push for transparency, increased records releases, and whistleblower protections regarding national security text and space technologies produced by other nations. These initiatives could involve programs focused on the retrieval and reverse engineering of such tech. The movement brings representatives from different parties together, indicating that this is not a political issue. Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb joined FOX 10 Talks to react to these developments and address how religious individuals reconcile their beliefs with the potential scientific discovery of other beings. A perspective offered notes that just as having a second child does not diminish love for the first, recognizing that there are other siblings in our family out there should not conflict with religious beliefs, but rather intensify respect for God. Regarding the next steps in the push for disclosure, two batches of documents, images, and videos have already been released on the website on May 8 and May 22. Another release might occur on Friday of this week or slightly later. However, protections for whistleblowers involved in programs yet to come remain crucial, as there is still much more classified information out there that a committee of experts should access.

Cosmetic surgery shifts from taboo to transparent in social media era | FOX 10 Phoenix
video

Plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures have shifted from taboo tabloid secrets into open, public conversations in the era of social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Laura Devgan joined the show to discuss how public transparency has transformed aesthetic medicine. The biggest modern shift is not necessarily that more people are undergoing procedures, but that patients are increasingly open about sharing their experiences online, creating more realistic expectations and highly educated consumers before they even enter a consultation room. The conversation highlighted evolving industry trends, such as younger patients pursuing prevention and maintenance to achieve a "forever 35" look. Dr. Laura Devgan noted that the current major trend centers around global facial optimization, which focuses on overall balance, proportion, and symmetry rather than fixing a single isolated wrinkle. Additionally, the industry is witnessing a significant course correction away from the overfilled, puffy cheeks and over-pulled aesthetics of prior generations, shifting instead toward millimeter-level refinements that prioritize a natural and vibrant appearance. The discussion also touched upon the varying financial costs of procedures, which can range widely based on a surgeon's experience, demand, and geographic region. The hosts and Dr. Laura Devgan analyzed the risks of losing facial identity, referencing prominent celebrity figures like Bradley Cooper, Ryan Seacrest, Simon Cowell, and Jennifer Grey. Dr. Laura Devgan cautioned against chasing absolute perfection over identity preservation, noting that extreme procedures can result in a feminization of the male face or a complete loss of the distinct architecture that made an individual recognizable.

President Trump intervenes in Iran hostilities ahead of midterms
video

Professor Doctor Larry Walker from the University of Central Florida joined the show to analyze current international affairs and upcoming domestic elections. Walker discussed the fragile peace in Iran, noting that while missiles were sent back and forth over a period of weeks, hostilities have slowed since the April ceasefire. Reports indicate that President Trump intervened with a few phone calls, prompting both countries to pull back slightly, though hostilities are likely to continue through May. The discussion highlighted the president's high motivation to resolve these international issues before the November midterm elections, especially as consumers face high food prices and gas prices pushing five dollars a gallon in Phoenix. Walker, a former congressional staffer, emphasized that the midterm elections are critical for Republicans aiming to hold onto the House. He noted that consumer confidence is heavily tied to these everyday pocketbook issues. The segment shifted to the mayoral race in Los Angeles, where candidates are vying for the open seat. Walker noted that California and Los Angeles are historically solid blue, but highlighted the shift in voting numbers over the last 12 hours for the top candidates, including Karen Bass. Looking ahead to November, Walker placed the odds of Democrats taking back the House at 55 to 45, while giving them a lower 40% to 45% chance of retaking the Senate.
