Flash floods strike the Grand Canyon with at least two people confirmed dead, Google Maps makes the Lake America switch official, and Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Monday, August 31st, and this is Evening Wire.

Severe flash floods in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park left at least two people dead. National Park authorities say that search crews are looking for some 15 others who are missing. Dozens of people were evacuated over the weekend after half an inch to an inch of rain dropped within an hour in the park's inner canyon. The flash flood also caused serious damage to the Trans Canyon water line that carries water from the canyon for use in the rest of the park. On Monday, the National Park services said 40% of the water line was destroyed. Authorities have closed the historic Phantom Ranch Lodge, Bright Angel Campground and other areas while emergency crews continue to search.

Meanwhile, in Nepal and Tibet, the death toll from the devastating flooding there has climbed past 900, and more than 4,200 people are still missing in Nepal alone, including 85 Americans. Officials say the disaster began in the Himalayas where a glacier and a rock slope collapsed with the force of a magnitude 5.2 earthquake. The resulting wall of mud, ice and debris traveled about 62 miles down steep valleys, and in some areas rivers rose 30 feet in half an hour, erasing entire towns and villages in minutes. As rescue crews are searching for survivors, experts warn that a landslide-damned lake above the Nepal-Tibet border checkpoint could burst and cause a second flood.
Immigration authorities busted 95 illegal alien truck drivers earlier this month in one operation in Arizona's Yuma sector. The bust came as the Trump administration cracks down on states and the trucking industry over unqualified and illegal truck drivers receiving licenses. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced action against hundreds of schools on Monday.

**Sean Duffy** (2:30)
And so today, what we are announcing is an emergency executive shutdown of 110 driving schools. So, these are driving schools that account for 5,000 of the violations for English proficiency.
What I mean by that is you have to speak English to operate a commercial motor vehicle. I didn't create that rule. President Trump didn't create that rule. That rule has been in place for decades.
And we have schools that know the rule and still pass people through their school who can't speak the language. We also have shut down 160 additional schools. These are schools that, in essence, certify that they are qualified to train truck drivers. However, they don't have adequate space to put a potential driver in a truck and have them go around the cones and do the turns. And they don't have space to even allow the truck driver to actually get behind the wheel and drive.

Google began displaying Lake America in place of Lake Ontario for US users of Google Maps on Saturday, complying with an executive order signed by Trump last week. Here's reporter Zach Joel.

**Zach Joel** (3:47)
Under the new display rules, US users see Lake America, Canadian users continue to see Lake Ontario, and users elsewhere see both names, with Lake America appearing in parentheses. But not every mapping platform has followed suit. Apple Maps, for example, still shows Lake Ontario, and MapQuest said it won't adopt the new name at all, instead rolling out a tool letting users rename the lake to whatever they choose. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to the name change saying, quote, the lake is called Lake Ontario now and forever.

More than 70% of small businesses need additional funding at least once every year. The surprising part, many of them qualify. They just don't have the weeks to spend waiting on paperwork and approvals. Cardiff helped solve that problem with an application that takes less than five minutes, approvals in minutes for eligible businesses, and same day funding of up to $500,000.
If you want bank rates without the bank delays, you need to check out cardiff.co.ca for up to $500,000 in same day funding. Banks try to lock out small businesses. Cardiff has the key. If you've been in business for at least a year, are pulling $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 in same day business funding at cardiff.co.ca. Again, that's cardiff.co.ca. Daily Wire, real growth, fast funding, Cardiff, borrow better.
