THANK YOU.

>> Ted: WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.

GOVERNOR HOBBS TODAY ANNOUNCED PLANS TO PREPARE FOR AN EXPECTED SURGE IN MIGRANTS DUE TO THE END OF TITLE 42, THE PANDEMIC ERA POLICY TO RESTRICT MIGRANT CROSSINGS.

THE POLICY IS SET TO EXPIRE THURSDAY.

THE GOVERNOR TODAY ANNOUNCED A MULTI-SURFACEMULTIFACETED APPROACH, THE TRANSPORTATION OF MIGRANTS AND THE USE OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND FURTHER DETAILS AS NEEDS TO BE MORE APPARENT.

A GROWING NUMBER OF MIGRANTS GATHERINGGATHERING THERE.

THE GOVERNOR WAS SENDING IN THE NATIONAL GUARD ENTERING WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION.

>> RIGHT NOW AS WE'RE SPEAKING, THE TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD IS LOADING BLACKHAWK HELICOPTER IN C130'S WITH SPECIALTY TRAINED GUARD MEMBERS FOR THE TECH TECHTILE FORCE FOR MIGRANTS ENTERING ILLEGAL.

>> Ted: THIS IS AFTER A RESIDENT OF BROWNSVILLE KILLED TEN MIGRANTS NEAR A MIGRANT SHELTER.

REACTIONS?

>> THEY'RE ONE OF THE LUCKY FEW WHO MADE IT TO THE BORDER.

THEY SHOULD MADE IT EASY AND WE FAILED THEM AND THEY WERE MOWED DOWN AND THEY'RE LIVES WERE TAKEN AND THEIR FAMILY'S HOPES WERE TAKEN AND THIS IS WITH THE INFLUX OF MORE MIGRANTS COMING ACROSS AND MORE MIGRANTS COMING TO OUR THE CITY, WE NEED TO PROTECT THEM AT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

>> Ted: A MARICOPA COUNTY OF SUPERVISORS MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY VOTED NANCY FOR FLAVIO BRAVO TO SUCCEED RAQUEL TERAN WHO RESIGNED TO RUN FOR CONGRESS.

THIS MEANS THE SUPERVISORS WILL RUN THREW THE PROCESS AGAIN TO FILL WHAT IS A VACANT HOUSE SEAT IN DISTRICT 26 COVERING WEST PHOENIX AND GLENDALE.

>>> THE LATEST SURVEY OF SUPPLIES SHOWS GOOD NEWS AND NOT SO GOOD NEWS AND WE WELCOME DALE ROGERS FROM W.P.

CAREY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS.

OR GO-TO GUY AND THE LOGISTICS MANAGER'S INDEX.

TALKING ABOUT THE INDEX AND WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

>> YOU KNOW, BEFORE YOU PUT SOMETHING INTO A STORE BEFORE IT GETS SOLD, YOU PUT IT ON A TRUCK AND YOU PUT IT IN INVENTORY AND INTO A WAREHOUSEA YOU CAN KIND OF SEE AS A LEADING INDICATER, IF YOU LOOK AT LOGISTIC'S COMPONENTS AND YOU CAN SEE -- YOU CAN TELL THE FUTURE A LITTLE BIT WITH WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH GDP.

>> Ted: LIKE PREORDERS THEN?

>> IT'S ACTUAL ORDERS AND IT'S BEFORE IT ACTUALLY IS SOLD OFF OF A SHELF TO CONSUMERS.

>> Ted: HOW MANY IN THE LOGISTIC'S INDUSTRY ARE SURVEYED?

>> YOURLY 200USUALLY 200 FOLKS.

>> Ted: THIS IS AT A DECREASING RATE?

>> THE LOWEST LMI NUMBER IT'S BEEN.

IT'S A RATE OF CHANGE INDEX WHERE ZERO MEANS EVERYTHING IS DECLINING AND 50 MEANS STAYING THE SAME AND 100 MEANS FAST GROWTH AND THE LOWEST NUMBER WE'VE SEEN IN THE ALMOST SEVEN YEARS WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS WAS FOR APRIL AT JUST BARELY OVER 50.

>> Ted: BARELY AT THAT LEVEL AND WHY IS THAT HAPPENING?

>> IT'S INTERESTING.

WE'RE NOT IN A RECESSION.

I DON'T KNOW THAT A RECESSION IS COMING BUT A FREIGHT RECESSION.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

>> SO WHAT HAPPENING IS DURING THE PANDEMIC, A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS SOLD, DURABLE GOODED.

GOODS.

TVS AND STEREOS ARE NOT SELLING.

WHAT'S SELLING ARE CLOTHES AND A LOT OF SERVICES.

THE SERVICE'S SECTOR IS 80% OF THE ECONOMY RIGHT NOW AND MANUFACTURING ABOUT 11%, 12% AND SO, WE'VE SEEN THIS SHIFT FOLLOWING THE PANDEMIC TO CONSUMABLES TO DURABLES AND TRUTHFULLY, IT TAKES MORE WAREHOUSE SPACE TO SHIP A COMPUTER OR PIECE OF FURNITURE AND DEMAND, I THINK WAS PULLED FORWARD DURING THE PANDEMIC AND WE'RE NOT SEEING BUY THAT STUFF.

>> Ted: IS THERE A GLUT OF THAT KIND OF THING ON THE MARKET?

>> YES.

THE COMPANIES HAVE SEEN THIS COMPANY AND HAVE TURNED OFF A LOT OF THE ORDERS FOR THIS.

PEOPLE ARE CANCELING ORDERS.

THE WEIRD THING IS, TED, CONSUMERS ARE STILL BUYING CONSUMABLES AND BUYS NICE CLOTHES AND A GOOD DRESS TO GO OUT IN.

WE'RE SEEING DEMAND FOR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, BUT THE SORT OF THINGS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, BE PART OF THIS ECONOMY RIGHT NOW, THE CONSUMER DURABLES, WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT.

>> Ted: IF THERE'S A GLUT OF X, DOES THAT MEAN THE PRICE OF X WILL EVENTUALLY GO DOWN?

THAT SEEMS TO STAND TO REASON, DOESN'T IT?

>> SO WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW, INFLATION CONSISTS OF DEMAND BASED INFLATION WHERE DEMAND IS TOO HOT AND SUPPLY BASED INFLATION WHERE YOU CAN'T GET WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

IF YOU GO BACK A YEAR AGO OR ALMOST ALL OF LAST YEAR, THE SUPPLY-BASED INFLATION WAS LARGER THAN THE DEMAND BASED.

NOW, FOR THE MOST RECENT MONTH, SUPPLY-BASED INFLATION, AS SUPPLY BASED BEGINS TO HEAL, IT WAS NEGATIVE.

And that's the main reason you're seeing inflation go down.

NOT BECAUSE THE FED HAS BEEN SO EFFECTIVE.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE, TRUTHFULLY, BUT THE BIG PART OF THE INFLATION WAS BROKEN SPINE CHAINS AND THOSE ARE COMING BACK UP.

>> Ted: FORMANFOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A CAR, ANY CAR, SOME VEHICLES YOU CAN'T FIND, CERTAINLY NOT IN ARIZONA.

USED CARS ARE ASTRONOMICAL AND OTHER THINGS HAVE ABSOLUTELY SKYROCKETED NO GLUT THERE.

>> WELL, NO, BUT IT'S THE OTHER SIDE.

BECAUSE THERE'S NOT SUPPLY, WHAT YOU HAVE TO SELL INCREASES IN PRICE.

SO THE EGG STORY.

I THINK YOU TALKED WITH ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT THE EGGS, ABOUT 100 MILLION EGGS THAT ARE OUT OF THE SUPPLY AND THAT'S WHY THE PRICE OF EGGS THERE, $10, $11.

>> Ted: WE DID DO THAT STORY.

WHAT DOES THIS SAY OVERALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY RIGHT NOW?

>> WELL, WE'RE NOT IN A GOOD SPOT.

INTERESTINGLY, IT'S LIKE A REPLAY, THOUGH, TO 2019 RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

REMEMBER WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID, OH, IT'S THE HOTTEST ECONOMY OF ALL TIME?

IT WASN'T REALLY ON THE BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS SIDE, BUT THE CONSUMER WAS REALLY HOT.

NOW THE CONSUMER HAS SHIFTED THEIR PREFERENCES TO BUYING CONSUMABLES AND SERVICES.

THEY'RE BUYING A NIGHT OUT AND SO ON.

SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE GOING BACK TO 2019 FROM 2019 BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

>> Ted: NOW YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE FED AND HOW DOES THAT FACTOR INTO EVERYTHING?

>> WHAT THE FED IS DOING BY RAISING THE INTEREST RATE AND THEY HINTED THAT MAYBE WE'LL PAUSE, BUT WHO KNOWS WITH THIS FED.

WITH HAD A GOOD JOB'S REPORT WITH OVER 200,000 JOBS LAST FRIDAY.

SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FED WILL DO AND THEY'RE VERY SORT OF UNCERTAIN AND SEEM CAPRICIOUS AND RAISING THE INTEREST RATE DOESN'T HELP YOU GET MORE SUPPLY BUT CRUSHES DEMAND.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

>> SO THEY COULD PUT US, I THINK, INTO A RECESSION AND HOPEFULLY THEY DON'T.

>> Ted: ARE WE HEADED FOR A RECESSION?

>> I THINK WE'LL SEE SOMETHING BAD IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

SO I'M GOING TO SAY, GEEZ -- THIS SOUNDS LIKE A WEESLEY RESPONSE, BUT I'LL SAY A FIVE.

I WAS TALKING TO THE HEAD OF THE PORT OF LOS ANGELOS AND HE SAYS I DON'T SEE A RECESSION EITHER, DALE, BUT THINGS APPEAR TO BE CHANGING.

AND WE DON'T KNOW THE IMPACT OF THE BANKING CRISIS.

WE'LL SEE MORE BANKS HAVE PROBLEMS, I THINK.

>> Ted: AND VOLATILE.

THINGS ARE VOLATILE.

DALE ROGERS, GOOD STUFF AND ALWAYS A PLEASURE HAVING YOU.

>> THANKS.

>> Ted: A 102-YEAR-OLD AUTHOR TALKS ABOUT HOW TO LIVE WITH JOY AT ANY AGE, UP NEXT.

GLADY'S MCGAREY IS NORTHERN AS THE MOTHER OF HOLISTIC MEDICINE AND SHE'LL BE APPEARING IN TEMPE TO TALK ABOUT THE "WELL LIVED LIFE" DETAILING HER SECRETS AT AGE AGE.

WE TALKED TO GLAGYS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HER WELL LIVED LIFE.

DR. GLADY'S MCGAREY, I CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU'RE FASCINATING AND WHAT IS THE "WELL LIVED LIFE"?

>> WHAT ANYONE CAN MAKE IT.

WE EACH HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE OUR LIVES TO THE FULLEST AND IF WE DO THAT, IT'S A WELL LIVED LIFE.

>> Ted: YOU WRITE ABOUT AGING INTO HEALTH AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

>> I THINK IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE -- NOT NOT POSSIBLE BUT DOABLE AS WE GET OLDER TO FIND THINGS THAT WE CAN DO THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT OR HELP US TO KEEP GOING OR HELP US TO DO WHAT IT IS THAT WE CHOOSE TO DO.

IT'S A MATTER OF CHOICE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE CHOOSE TO BE HEALTHY OR CHOOSE TO, YOU KNOW, DEAL WITH THE THINGS THAT WE ALL GET, YOU KNOW.

, THAT HAPPEN TO ALL OF US.

NOT THE SAME THING, BUT WE ALL HAVE ISSUES TO DEAL WITH.

>> Ted: BUT HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO THE ANTIAGING INDUSTRY?

IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

>> I THINK IT CAN IF WE JUST FOCUS OUR FOCUS ON LIFE AND LIVING AND LOVE AND HEALING, NOT ON THE WAR AGAINST DISEASE AND PAIN, WHICH IS WHERE OUR MEDICAL FIELD HAS FOCUSED.

IF YOU FOCUS ON THE NEGATIVE, WHICH IS ISSUES AND HAS TO BE DEALT WITH AND ALL OF THAT.

BUT IF THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE FOR IT, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT IN MEDICAL SCHOOL AND HAS BEEN CARRIED ON THROUGH, IT'S TAKING US BACK INTO THE DARK AREAS OF OUR BEING.

REALLY, AS TRUE HUMANS, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE ABILITY TO LOOK TOWARDS THE LIGHT KNOWING THAT THE DARK PLACES ARE THERE AND DEALING WITH THEM, BUT NOT SPENDING OUR TIME AND ALL OF OUR ENERGY AND JUICE ON GETTING RID OF THEM.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

IN YOUR BOOK, YOU RIGHT SIX SECRETS FOR LIVING A FULL, HEALTHY AND HELPFUL LIFE.

TALK TO US ABOUT THAT.

>> WELL, IF YOU TRY TO SAVE YOUR ENERGY, YOU KILL IT.

BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN A DOCTOR SAYS GO HOME AND REST BECAUSE YOU'RE TIRED OR YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD OR SOMETHING, THAT'S DOING SOMETHING IF YOU TAKE IT THAT WAY.

BUT IF YOU TAKE IT AS GO HOME AND REST AND YOU STOP DOING EVERYTHING, YOU JUST FADE AWAY AND YOU LOSE THE JUICE THAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE SAVING IT.

YOU CAN'T SAVE ENERGY.

IT'S NOT SAVEABLE.

ENERGY HAS TO BE USED.

SO AS WE USE OUR ENERGY, IT BECOMES MORE AND MORE ALIVE AND REAL.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

AND THAT COMES TO YOUR SECOND POINT THAT ALL LIFE NEEDS TO MOVE.

BY THAT, YOU MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, PHYSICAL MOVEMENT, MENTAL MOVEMENT, SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT THAT INCLUDES THERE?

>> ALL OF THAT, BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING BEINGS.

THAT'S WHY WE STARTED THE AMERICAN HOLISTIC ORGANIZATION.

AT THE TIME AND PRIMARILY NOW, CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE FOCUSED ON MIND AND BODY AND THE SPIRIT WAS LEFT OUT OF IT.

WELL, I GREW UP IN A SITUATION WHERE MY PARENTS WERE BOTH OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS AS MISSIONARIES IN INDIA AND THE ESSENCE OF THE MIND AND SPIRIT CONNECTION WAS VERY, VERY REAL TO ME.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE ACTUALLY STARTED THE AMERICAN HOLISTIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

>> Ted: INDEED, YOU'RE CONSIDERED THE MOTHER OF HOLISTIC MEDICINE.

I WANT TO GO DOWN THIS LIST BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYS INTO YOUR THIRD SECRET FOR LIVING A HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE AND YOU'RE HERE FOR A REASON.

TALK TO US ABOUT THAT.

>> ALL OF US HAVE OUR SPECIAL PLACE IN THIS WORLD.

WE CAME HERE TO DO SOMETHING AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE PRIVILEGE OF FINDING OUT WHAT THAT IS.

IF WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO THAT, IF WE'RE FOCUSED TOWARDS THAT, WE CAN FIND OUT.

YOU KNOW, ASKING A CHILD WHAT THEY WANT TO BE OR WHAT THEY'RE GOING DO IS A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE THE CHILDREN ARE COMING IN, IN THEIR HEARTS KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO BE.

IF AS PARENTS AND TEACHERS AND A COMMUNITY WE HONOR THAT AND LET THEM FOCUS TOWARDS THAT, THEY CAN FIND THEIR JUICE.

THEY CAN FIND WHAT ALLOWS THEM TO LIVE AND WORK AND BE WHO THEY ARE AS INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE.

I THINK THAT IT'S KIND OF A HUGE JIGSAW PUZZLE AND WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN PIECE AND THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER PIECE THAT FITS IN MY PUZZLE.

I TRIED AND THEY DON'T FIT.

WE HAVE TO FIT IN OUR OWN PLACE.

>> Ted: WOW!

THERE'S SO MANY OTHER THINGS GOING ON HERE AND LOVE IS THE MOST POWERFUL MEDICINE.

I THINK THERE'S ALMOST SELF EXPLANATORY AND SO MUCH IN THE BOOK.

BEFORE WE LET YOU GO, YOU HAVE LIVED QUITE A LIFE.

YOU MENTIONED UPBRINGING AND YOU HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH GHANDI.

>> WE WERE JUST LEAVING FOR THE STATES AND I WAS ON THE TRAIN AND HE WAS DOING ONE OF THE GREAT SALT WALKS US WHERE HE WAS MEETING THE PEOPLE AND HE STOPPED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE TRAIN AND I WAS LOOKING OUT THERE WHILE HE REACHED DOWN AND TOOK A FLOWER FROM A LITTLE GIRL AND LOOKED UP STRAIGHT INTO MY EYES.

NOW THAT MEANT NOTHING TO ANYBODY ELSE AROUND, BUT IN MY LIFE, AND IN MY PURPOSE IN LIFE, THERE WAS A CONNECTION.

AND 40 YEARS LATER, DURING THE PARTITION OF INDIA, MY FATHER AND MOTHER WORKED WITH GHANDI AND MY HAD A SHAWL.

>> Ted: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR SECRETS AND THE MOTHER OF HOLISTIC MEDICINE.

IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU ON AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT OF A HEALTHY DIET, YOU INCLUDE A PIECE OF CAKE EVERY SO OFTEN.

>> IT'S NICE.

>> Ted: YOU'RE AN ALUMMIST OF THE CHOIR AND WHAT GOT YOU STARTED?

>> MY MUSIC TEACHER, FOURTH GRADE TEACHER, STILL TEACHING TODAY.

SHE SAID YOU WOULD TRY OUT FOR THE BOY'S CHOIR AND IT WAS PERFECT FOR ME.

I WAS LOOKING FOR CONNECTION AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND COMING FROM A LOW SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND AND IT WAS A GREAT PLACE FOR ME TO BE AND TO TRAVEL WHEN I WAS NINE AND TEN TO JAPAN, PHILIPPINES AND HAWAII.

THESE BOYS GET THE SAME EXPERIENCE SHORTLY HERE.

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY AND UNDERSTAND CULTURAL AWARENESS.

>> Ted: EMIR, HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?

OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE IN THE CLASSROOM, THE TEACHER THOUGHT I WAS THE MOST ENERGIZED AND IT STARTED AT THE SAME ROOTS BECAUSE I WAS PARTICIPATING THE MOST AND ALWAYS THE BEST ONE IN BEHAVIOR AND SINGING AND PARTICIPATION AND SO, MY TEACHER WAS ONE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, ONE DAY SHE WAS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, ONE DAY TRY OUT FOR THE THE PHOENIX BOY IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO SING AND HANDED ME A PAPER WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE THE PHOENIX BOY.

SO THEN I CALLED AND THE AUDITION AND GOT IT.

>> Ted: THE MORE YOU'RE WITH THE CHOIR, DO YOU FEEL MORE OF AN APPRECIATION AND LOVE OF THE MUSIC?

>> WELL, I ACTUALLY DO BECAUSE THERE I FEEL LIKE I CAN SING.

WE DO VERY GOOD MUSIC AND WE ALSO DO MUSIC THAT IS MORE CHALLENGING AND A BIT ROUGHER THAT REQUIRES MORE PRACTICING AND STAYING ON US TO, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES US STAND OUT FROM THE REST OF THE CHOIR.

>> Ted: THAT'S A BIG DEAL FROM A YOUNG MAN.

>> IT IS, AND WE'RE FOCUSED ON CHARACTER, DISCIPLINE AND NOT IN CHOIR AND CONNECTING TO YOUR SCHOOL AND CONNECTS TO YOUR FAMILY.

WE HAVE A MANTRA AND DO YOU REMEMBER THE MANTRA?

>> YES.

IT'S "I AM A MEMBER OF THE THE PHOENIX BOY.

I'M RESPONSIBLE AND PROFESSIONAL AND A MAN TO ALL.

I TRY TO BE THE BEST I CAN BE.

THROUGH MY CHOIR, I TRY TO BE THE BEST I CAN BE.,.

".

BE.

".

>> IT'S AT THE CHARACTER AND RESPECT AND SHINE IN DIVERSE AREAS OF LIFE.

>> Ted: LOOKING BACK AT THE LEGACIES OF THE PREVIOUS DIRECTOR?

NO.

WE HAVE FROM OUR NEW WORKS, ABOUT EIGHT WORLD PREMIERES.

>> Ted: OH, MY GOODNESS!

>> THE TOP TWO WILL BE PERFORMING AND HERE.

>> Ted: WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE VISION AND LOOKING TO THE PAST AND WHAT DO YOU SEE FROM HERE FORWARD?

>> I'M FOCUSED ON DIVERSITY AND GETTING INTO THE SCHOOLS AND BEING AN ADVOCATE OF THE TEACHERS THAT ARE IN THE TRENCHES, WORKING DAY AFTER DAY, RIGHT, AS WE BOTH JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT.

OUR STORIES STARTED WITH THOSE TEACHERS AND FOCUS ON CONTINUING TO TRAVEL AND GO AROUND THE WORLD AND TEACH THESE BOYS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLE, DIVERSE CULTURES AND FOCUS ON ALL OF THIS EXCELLENT MUSIC WHICH DRIVES THE PROGRAM.

>> Ted: WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE BEST?

CAN YOU RECOGNIZE IT HEN WHEN YOU FIRST SEE IT?

>> I CAN'T RECOGNIZE IT WHEN I FIRST SEE IT, BUT IF YOU'RE TALKS ABOUT GENRES, ABOUT THE TYPE OF MUSIC, CLASSICAL.

IN THE GENRES, CLASSICAL AND ALSO IN THE MODERN TIMES, BLUE GRASS AND THE OLDIES, ALSO.

>> Ted: YOU LIKE BLUE GRASS BECAUSE OF THE MAR HARMONIES.

>> YES.
