- Trump defends Saudi crown prince over question about killing of Khashoggi
- Date posted
- 2 months ago
- Description
- President Trump defended Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office Tuesday when reporters asked about CIA findings that the prince approved the killing of "Washington Post" columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump called Khashoggi "extremely controversial" and said "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about." He also chastised the reporter for raising the issue, saying, "You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question."
The CIA concluded the crown prince approved the 2018 operation that killed and dismembered Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Turkey, but Salman maintained he had no knowledge of the attack.
Khashoggi's widow criticized Trump’s comments in a statement on X, saying, "There is no justification to murder my husband."

- Shoppers brace for higher Thanksgiving food prices

- Description
- With Thanksgiving around the corner, shoppers are bracing for higher grocery prices.
Wholesale turkey prices are up 40% from last year — largely due to outbreaks of bird flu hurting the country’s supply. Tariffs on steel and aluminum have contributed to higher prices of canned vegetables, up 5% from last year.
The Trump administration cancelled some tariffs on items like beef and coffee last week to combat high prices, but experts say the move won’t lower prices, just slow their growth, and that shoppers should plan their Thanksgiving meals in advance and shop early to take advantage of grocery store sales and promotions.

- Description
- An investment company owned by billionaire Peter Thiel has sold its $100 million stake in chipmaker Nvidia, adding to investors' fears that the AI industry is in a financial bubble.
Nvidia became the first company to be valued at more than $5 trillion at the end of October. Shares are up 33% overall since the beginning of the year, but prices have since fallen more than 13% in the last few weeks.
Thiel's selloff comes after SoftBank did the same last week. Together, the moves are stoking investors' concerns that the AI industry is in a speculative bubble that could soon pop, after tech firms have poured billions into data centers and infrastructure for AI.

Immigration activists are expected to confront the Charlotte City Council tonight, to urge city leaders to bar Border Patrol agents from city-owned buildings and parking lots.

- Trump reverses course, urging vote for release of Epstein files
- Date posted
- 2 months ago
- Description
- President Trump reversed course over the weekend, now telling House Republicans to vote to demand the release of Justice Department files on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein "because we have nothing to hide."
In a Truth Social post Sunday evening, he again called the issue a "Democrat Hoax" intended to "deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party." Trump and his GOP allies have resisted this for months, but a bipartisan group of House lawmakers has already collected enough support to force a vote on the release of the files, which is expected on Tuesday.
It's unclear whether the Senate would take up the issue. Trump would have to sign off on the release if it does pass both chambers.

Israel said the strike killed several 'uninvolved civilians.’ Lebanese president Joseph Aoun called the attack a massacre. Israel has been launching regular attacks in south Lebanon despite last year's ceasefire.

- Why is Chile’s birth rate plummeting?

- Chile is experiencing a sharp drop in the number of babies being born each year.
Positive trends — the rise of women in education and the workplace and a rapid drop in adolescent pregnancies — also mirror what's happening in the U.S. and in many parts of the world, according to Vladimíra Kantorová, the U.N.'s chief population scientist and co-author of last month's report.
But, as in the U.S., many conservative leaders in Chile view these demographic changes very differently. And Martina Yopo Diaz, a sociologist at Santiago's Catholic University, fears that population aging and decline will escalate so fast that governments will respond by trying to force women to have more children by restricting abortion, contraception and family planning.

More than three years later, he told "All Things Considered" host Scott Detrow that “I don’t really think trolling is going to win any battleground states.”

- Fetterman says most Democrats are wrong on the shutdown, Israel, and the working class
- Date posted
- 2 months ago
- Description
- Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) often finds himself at odds with his party.
He's unapologetically pro-Israel at a time when fewer members of Democrats are. He spent the fall railing against the federal government shutdown and he, along with a few other Senate Democrats, broke from the party and struck a deal with Republicans.
In an interview with All Things Considered host Scott Detrow, Fetterman posed a question to his critics: "What exactly am I guilty of?"
"I suffered from depression and I made a recovery and I won an election," he said. "And I went on to be an unapologetic supporter of Israel. And I happen to think that we have to have a secure border and I think it's wrong to shut our government down."
Fetterman spoke with NPR in a conversation tied to his new memoir, “Unfettered,” about his 2022 Senate campaign that saw him suffer a stroke and fall into a deep depression.

- In his new book, "Unfettered," Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized his party for losing the support of working class men, writing that President Trump appealed to them more because "he wasn't afraid to comment on things the left told us we were no longer allowed to have commonsense opinions on."
Fetterman also writes, “if men are forced to choose between picking their party or keeping their balls, most men are going to choose their balls.”
“I think there's been a disconnection,” he told "All Things Considered" host Scott Detrow. “It's just this idea and just being perceived as more anti-man […] And it's just a lot different kinds of energy that comes out from.”

- The Food and Drug Administration says it is removing the black box safety warnings from all hormone therapy creams, pills and other treatments prescribed to ease the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause.
The prominent warnings said these therapies could raise the risks for some cancers, dementia, heart attacks and strokes.
It was time for a change, Makary told NPR's All Things Considered, because women have "been denied or never offered hormone replacement therapy despite the profound short term and long term benefits."

When asked if his vote risked teaching President Donald Trump that Democrats "will fold under pressure," as put by New York Times columnist Ezra Klein on Monday, Fetterman disagreed.
"That's actually not a fold," Fetterman told All Things Considered host Scott Detrow. "That's that's realizing that it's the kind of chaos that might care more about the kinds of impacts that it's going to have on 42 million people [...] It's really about our bigger priorities."

It names Trump campaign attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth Chesebro, Mark Meadows and John Eastman, as well as dozens of other people who met, often in secret, to sign documents claiming they were legitimate electors in states actually won by Joe Biden.
The pardons are essentially symbolic, as none of the people pardoned have been charged with federal crimes. Some are charged in their individual states but the pardon has no impact on those cases.

Duffy says it is safe to fly, but that the FAA will restrict the number of planes in the air if there aren’t enough air traffic controllers to manage the system safely. Air traffic controllers are required to work without pay during the government shutdown, which hurts morale and has lead many to call in sick, creating staffing shortages and extensive delays at airports across the country.
