00:01Made in India becomes a target for tariffs.

00:04President Trump says it's about Russia, but it could hit Americans at the checkout.

00:08Plus, a wall of dust swallows Phoenix.

00:11Flight stop, power knocked out, why this won't be the last.

00:15And cracker barrel caves, customer backlash forces a logo U-turn.

00:20Even the White House weighs in.

00:24The stories that matter, clear and credible, from across the country to around the world.

00:30These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow News.

00:35Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli.

00:37We begin with President Trump escalating his global tariff war,

00:41slapping India with some of the highest duties yet.

00:45Starting today, tariffs on Indian imports jumped to 50 percent.

00:49That's double the previous rate.

00:51The move punishes New Delhi for buying Russian oil,

00:54but it also threatens to strain relations with one of America's key partners

00:59and drive up costs for American shoppers on items such as jewelry, linen,

01:04activewear clothes, and leather goods.

01:07India calls the measure unfair, pointing out that other countries, like China,

01:11the largest buyer of Russian crude oil, face lower tariffs at just 30 percent.

01:16The White House says more countries could be next if they keep purchasing Moscow's oil.

01:22Trade between the two nations, meaning India, is substantial.

01:25Last year, the U.S. imported $87 billion in goods from India,

01:30while exporting $42 billion the other way.

01:33So the stakes for both economies and for American consumers are significant.

01:38This morning, a shakeup at FEMA.

01:40Several workers have been placed on leave after signing a scathing letter to Congress,

01:45blasting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her boss, President Trump.

01:49The letter, titled the Katrina Declaration, warns that the administration's changes to FEMA

01:55could trigger catastrophic failures.

01:58It was released on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which killed 1,400 people in New Orleans.

02:04180 current and former FEMA staffers signed it, though most did it anonymously.

02:10One supervisor tells CNN she and at least a half dozen others have been put on paid leave,

02:15their government accounts suspended.

02:17The declaration accuses the Trump administration of dismantling FEMA's authority

02:22and undoing two decades of progress since Katrina.

02:26It calls for the agency to be insulated from political pressure.

02:29This morning, President Trump is on the losing end of a big courtroom clash

02:34after a federal judge tossed out his administration's lawsuit

02:37against the entire federal bench in Maryland.

02:41The case centered on a standing order that temporarily stops the immediate deportation

02:45of migrants who filed challenges in federal court.

02:49The Justice Department called that a direct assault on the president's power

02:52to enforce immigration law.

02:54But Judge Thomas Cullen, himself a Trump appointee,

02:57slammed the move as, quote, novel and potentially calamitous,

03:01saying the administration had clearer legal paths to challenge the order

03:05than suing an entire court.

03:08He went further, blasting the White House for its attacks on judges who rule against it,

03:13writing, this concerted effort by the executive to smear and impugn individual judges

03:18who rule against it is both unprecedented and unfortunate.

03:22The administration is appealing.

03:24Well, this turned into a really big deal.

03:26Cracker Barrel tried to go modern, and their customers said,

03:29no thanks, we don't want it.

03:31Now the company is backpedaling, fast.

03:34On social media, the restaurant chain announced it's scrapping the new minimalist logo

03:38and bringing back the old familiar Uncle Herschel, writing in part,

03:43we said we would listen, and we have.

03:45Our new logo is going away, and our old-timer will remain.

03:49The reversal came after the company's stock tanked,

03:52costing Cracker Barrel more than $100 million in value.

03:55Loyal fans torched the rebrand online.

03:58Cracker Barrel had swapped its iconic barrel and old country store theme

04:03for a simple text-only logo.

04:05That logo barely lasted a week, just long enough to spark memes,

04:10even trolling from the White House on social media.

04:13President Trump weighing in twice yesterday,

04:15first urging the company to go back to the old logo,

04:19then writing,

04:20congratulations, Cracker Barrel.

04:22All of your fans very much appreciate it.

04:24Make lots of money, and most importantly,

04:27make your customers happy again.

04:28Wait till you see this.

04:30A towering wall of dust turned Phoenix from day into night.

04:34A fearsome haboob that ripped across the desert this week.

04:38Look at some of these pictures.

04:40Time-lapse video shows the massive cloud swallowing the skyline.

04:44Zero visibility on the ground.

04:46Flights at Sky Harbor Airport came to a standstill.

04:49A 70-mile-an-hour gust ripping material off the terminal roof.

04:53Power went out for 15,000 customers.

04:55And look at this.

04:56One mother, driving her children home,

04:58had to pull over as the storm engulfed her car.

05:01Can't see anything.

05:04We're in the middle of the haboob.

05:06We're in our car.

05:07Thankfully, by Tuesday,

05:09crews had mostly restored power and cleared downed trees.

05:12But the storm showed just how quickly

05:14Arizona's monsoon season can turn dangerous.

05:17Haboobs, those massive dust walls, happen every summer.

05:21But with Phoenix running drier than normal,

05:23this one packed an extra punch.

05:25Finally this morning, the 10th time really was the charm.

05:29The SpaceX Starship, the biggest, most powerful rocket ever built,

05:34just nailed its first fully successful test flight.

05:37Watch this.

05:38Three, two, one.

05:40After multiple delays and previous failures,

05:54last night's launch went off like a dream.

05:56Starship and its giant super-heavy booster both made gentle splashdowns,

06:01one in the Gulf and the other half a world away in the Indian Ocean.

06:05The whole test lasted just under one hour, and everything worked.

06:09Elon Musk says Starship will one day ferry humans to Mars.

06:13And NASA is counting on getting astronauts back to the moon this decade.

06:18SpaceX can finally say this giant rocket has stuck the landing, if you will.

06:23Here's my idea.

06:25Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift take off in the giant rocket after saying their I do's, right?

06:31I mean, you know it's going to be the wedding of the century.

06:33It was huge news yesterday.

06:35So the send-off has to be more than this horse-drawn carriage or limo with those cans clanking behind.

06:41Nah, nah.

06:41Instead, the Negrelli idea is this.

06:44They take off in the rocket ship with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes doing the countdown like he does on Sundays,

06:51like when he calls out the signals, you know, 180, 180.

06:53Instead, he goes 10, 9, 8.

06:57I mean, how cool would that be?

06:58All right, that's my idea.

07:00Travis, Taylor, you're free to call me.
