As alleged in today's complaint from around October 4, 2024 to November 4, 2025, Tomas Khan Jimenez Gazelle of Montclair, New Jersey along with other co conspirators used encrypted messaging applications to plan travel to Turkey and then to Syria to join ISIS as fighters.

A team effort and everyone's done an incredible job and they've stopped a major terrorist attack. These two defendants, not only what you said had 1,600 rounds of ammo, they had multiple, countless AR15s, they had shotguns, they had handguns and they were going to the range to perfect their skin. And they also, and this is all out of our indictment by the way, because it's a pending case. I'm only saying what's in the indictment. They also had been going to the range to perfect their skills and they had discussed the 2015 Paris attack so they were fully planning on a terrorist attack in our country. There's going to be more to come on this.

Ali's lawyer saying over the weekend there is, quote, no evidence backing the allegations. Listen up, travelers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warning Americans to brace for noticeable flight disruptions at 40 major airports beginning today due to the ongoing government shutdown. Now in its sixth week, the longest ever. The FAA is rolling out a graduated cut to air traffic starting with a 4% reduction today, increasing by 1% each day until it hits 10% next week or until the shutdown ends. CNBC reporting as many as 3,500 to 4,000 flights a day could be affected, with the biggest slowdowns expected at the nation's busiest hubs, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York. The FAA says the cuts are necessary due to staffing shortages. But among air traffic controllers straining operations, controllers required to work without pay as essential employees now about to miss a second full paycheck on top of an earlier partial one. CNN reporting more than 400 staffing shortages have been logged at FAA facilities since day one of the shutdown, creating cascading delays and crowding at airports nationwide. Secretary Duffy explaining the move yesterday on fox.
- [07:29]
C
We always assess risk in the airspace, right where, as you've seen and I think you have talked about, controllers are making decisions about their families and their income and some of them are not coming to work. It's a problem. I want them to come to work and do their jobs, but that's the reality that I deal with. And so you've seen a lot of delays and cancellations through the airspace. It changes every single day based on what controllers are coming to work and which ones are not in what airspaces. But we were seeing increased pressure in these 40 markets and we looked at the data. This was data driven. And so taking 10% of the flights out will reduce that pressure, which is what we want to do now. Does that mean there's going to be no delays? No, Brian, there's, there's potentially still going to be delays if we have staffing triggers and we don't have enough controllers in an airspace where we did cut 10%, you might see additional delays.

One pilot for a major US Airline telling AM Update the situation is quote, unquote cataclysmic. Secretary Duffy telling FOX the decision, though painful, is essential to ensuring safety in the sky.

C
My mission, number one, is to keep people safe. That's one. Number two is gridlock with the traveling public. That's a Secondary issue. Delays are a secondary issue. Safety is primary. And so this is not politics for us. Again, politics are around what's happening. But this was not a political decision. This was a data driven decision to make the right calls to get ahead of any issues that could happen, you know, in the airspace that could have negative consequences.

President Trump announcing a major new weight loss drug deal yesterday from the Oval.
- [10:37]
F
So today I'm thrilled to announce that two world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, have agreed to offer their most popular GLP1 weight loss drug. I call it the fat drug, remember at drastic discounts including the drugs known as Zeppbound and Wegovy, often called Ozepic. It's a triumph for American patients that will save lives and improve the health of millions and millions of Americans. Amazing thing. They are amazing.
- [11:12]
A
According to The White House, GLP1 weight loss drugs, Wegovy and Ozempic, currently priced at roughly $1,000 to $1,350 per month, will drop to around $350 when purchased through Trump Rx, a newly created government managed direct to consumer online pharmacy. The Trump administration targeting the long standing global arrangement in which American consumers pay incredibly high prices for for the same drugs from the same factory in the same packaging sold to consumers around the world for Just a fraction of the cost. More from the President.
- [11:49]
F
The United states is just 4% of the world's population and consumes only 13% of all prescription drugs. Yet pharmaceutical companies make 75% of their profits from the American customer. I would say that's not so good. To address this chronic unfairness, I signed an executive order earlier this year instructing my administration to do everything in our power to implement most favored nation's drug pricing, which means that Americans should pay no more than the lowest price offered anywhere in the world. So that you've heard for years the disparity where you'll pay $150 for a pill in New York and you'll pay $10 for a pill in London. Now you're going to pay $20, both because the world is a little bit bigger than the U.S. so it goes up that way, but you'll pay $20 and $20, a tremendous advantage to our country. After years of being abused by the.

World system, obesity in America is not just a personal health issue. It's a full scale national crisis. According to HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. 50% of the adult population is obese or overweight. Here. The Secretary says this deal, while not a cure all, will drastically improve health outcomes.
- [13:07]
G
Obesity is the number one driver of chronic disease and it drives about 50% of healthcare costs in this country. Diabetes, cardiac diseases. We are going to see a decline because of this historic agreement. We're going to see a decline in cost, but also more importantly, in the afflictions themselves. Obesity is a disease of poverty overwhelmingly. And this drug, these drugs have only been available for people who have wealth. And what about the people who live in rural areas who live in food deserts? What about the people in urban areas who live in food deserts and are suffering from obesity and are locked into that system where they can only get ultra processed foods which are aggravating the problem. This will be a lifesaver to them. It's not a panacea, it's not a silver bullet. President Trump has also instructed us to address and the root causes of chronic disease, and we're doing that.

Secretary Kennedy also announcing new federal food guidelines will be released in December aiming to radically alter American diets and solve a key driver of the obesity epidemic. Head of Medicare and Medicaid services, Dr. Oz, with a stunning projection on the effect of widespread access to these weight loss medications.
- [14:31]
H
We have an update. Secretary Kennedy. We thought it was £125 million. Mr. President. Our estimate based on the company numbers as well is Americans will lose £135 billion by the midterms. But I don't measure it in pounds. I measure it and save lives. People can sleep again because they can breathe when they go to bed. Folks whose knees don't hurt, people who don't have heart attacks, renal failure, dementia, all the things we know are associated with obesity and much more.

I
For decades I've cherished the privilege of representing our magnificent city in the United States Congress. It seems prophetic now that the slogan of my very first campaign in 1987 was a voice that will be heard. And it was you who made those words come true. It was the faith that you had placed in me and the latitude that you have given me that enabled me to shatter the marble ceiling and be the first woman speaker of the House. That is why I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking re election to Congress. With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative.

The 85 year old, having served 19 terms over nearly four decades, was first elected in 1987 and became the first female House speaker in 2007 and then again in 2019. During her tenure, the speaker, emerita, a made up term, led both impeachment efforts against President Trump. The first over allegations that he withheld foreign aid to push Ukraine into investigating Vice President Joe Biden's business ties in the region, which later gained significant factual support. The second coming Just days after the January 6 riot, Ms. Pelosi's daughter's documentary film crew capturing this moment as the speaker fled the Capitol.

We have responsibility, Terry. We did not have any accountability for what was going on there and we should have. This is ridiculous. You're gonna ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that. Should we call the Capitol Police? I mean the National Guard. Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with? They thought that they had sufficient resources. There's not a question of how they had been. They don't know. They clearly didn't know. And I take responsibility for not having them. Just prepare for more.

I think she's an able woman. I'm glad she's retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country. And on Dictionary, I thought she was an evil woman who did a poor job, who cost the country a lot in damages and in reputation. I thought she was terrible. Thank you very much.

I got to sit in the driver's seat. I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot. These small interactions can shape a kid's future. It felt like I was the captain.
