This is NTD Evening News, live from our global headquarters in New York City. Here's Cary Dunst. Good evening and thank you for joining us tonight. President Trump is changing his White House leadership team, following major losses for Republicans in the midterms. He's replacing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. And it is Washington correspondent Jack Bradley reports. Stephen Miller will be the new Chief of Staff. President Trump making Stephen Miller his new Chief of Staff, replacing Susie Wiles, who will be moved to another position. The president saying he wanted to make a change. Susan's done a very good job. Great job. Stephen's been with me from beginning. He gets it very good politically. And he's a very good man. He'll do a great job. Great manager. Miller serves as the White House deputy chief of staff and will step into the role next week. As for Wiles, the president says Susan's going to go over to the political operation. In a post on X, Wiles writes that today is my last day as White House chief of staff. And that serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. The news follows significant losses for Republicans in the midterms. Several figures on the right have since called for Wiles to be removed. Susie Wiles needs to resign. She needs to offer her resignation to the president before he has to ask for it. Her campaign skills have not translated into governing. You have to look to people like Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, and the political consultants that are there. Because of their results, they should be removed and removed. Some Democrats in Congress criticized Trump, ...making Miller chief of staff with Senator Andy Kim, saying he's dangerous and should be fired. But former White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt saying Miller is loyal, hardworking, and the perfect choice. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy adding 165,000 jobs in October, much more than expected, with the unemployment rate at a low 4.1%. President Trump praising those numbers while pointing out the stock market losses, saying that the drop was due to Democrats winning Congress in the midterms. We had a... The midterm saw Democrats take control of the Senate and the House for the next Congress, a major blow to the president who spent nearly every day over the last month holding rallies to energize voters in several states. Reporting from Washington, D.C., Jack Bradley, NTD News. And joining us now is Brian Lai, political strategist, as well as CEO of Henry Public Relations. Brian, thanks for joining us this evening. We're awaiting President Trump and we're going to cut to him very shortly, but I want to get a couple of questions in here. I want to get your reaction, of course, to this change from Wiles to Miller. Hey, good to be with you and good evening. I think, listen, it's a strong move from the president. Stephen Miller has been with the president really from day one, from when President Trump got involved many, many years ago. So he's a loyalist to President Trump. He's someone that definitely, I think, is going to put the Democrats on their heels. And he's just, I think Stephen Miller is going to be a fantastic chief of staff. Jamie Dupree, a veteran D.C. Capitol Hill correspondent and political writer, said on X, quote, This move tells me that Trump has decided to go scorched earth against Democrats in Congress and the courts in his final two years. Love to get your reaction to that. Well, I mean, you know, certainly Stephen Miller is a very strong personality and he doesn't mince his words when it comes to, you know, negotiating with Democrats. So I think certainly having a fighter like Stephen Miller, you know, in President Trump's corner, being elevated from deputy chief of staff to now chief of staff, definitely sends some pretty direct messages to Democrats. I also think it sends messages to our adversaries around the world like China and Russia. And Iran, that President Trump is going to use the next two months here to really do a lot of different things. And I would predict really finish the job once and for all with regards to the military operations with Iran. That's very interesting. So you're expecting the president to take military action in this next 60 days. What else might you expect from the Congress in the next 60 days to try to get through? Yeah, I'm not really sure from the congressional side what they're going to push through. I mean, there certainly is a lot that both the Congress, the House, and the Senate didn't push through. And I think that's a big reason why we saw the election results this past Tuesday is a lot of the American people were frustrated with the Republican House and the Republican Senate not codifying a lot of President Trump's executive orders and policies into law. But to speak to the first part of your question, I mean, yeah, I do believe that President Trump is going to look to truly finish the job here once and for all when it comes to the military operations with Iran. And I think he's going to do that because it's one of the first actions that a new Democrat controlled Congress is likely to take. It's not going to be impeachment, although that's probably going to come up pretty soon. But they're probably going to introduce war powers resolution to really limit what the president can do from a military perspective. So I think the president has a two to, I guess, a month and a half window right now to really finish the job and get it done. All right. Obviously, we'll be watching with great interest. Brian Lodge, thank you so much for joining us this evening. Thanks. Have a great weekend. And we now take you live to President Trump. He is speaking at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This marks the president's first public appearance since the midterm elections on Tuesday. Let's tune in. Fantastic. OMB director, Russ Vogt. Thank you, Russ. Thank you. UN ambassador, Mike Walsh. Good job you're doing, Mike. It was a natural, huh? I saw the way you took on the Cubans. Anybody watch? I love it. And Sam Graves and Mike Herodopoulos. Fantastic. Thank you, Mike. Great job. Great job. And you win acting secretary of the Navy. Hung Cao. I love the name. Hung Cao. You're doing a fantastic job, wherever you may be. Here is FAA Administrator Brian Bedford, who is amazing. Thank you, Brian. Where is Brian? Is he around here? Thank you, Brian. Thank you. Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. It's really a very important job, Michael. Precious. Thank you, Michael. Thank you. Thank you, Michael. Good job. And many other leaders in aviation, aerospace, technology. We've got a lot of them here. A lot of guys that sell this stuff, they're making a lot of money. And they accuse me of having met you once before, a long time ago. Remember, I don't want to shake any of your hands. That way you have no problem. But you're doing a fantastic job. We make the best equipment, space equipment, military equipment. Anywhere in the world, there's nobody even close. And before going any further, it's true, too. Go ahead. You can clap for that one. But before going any further, we have some great news today. We just received yet another blockbuster jobs report that smashed all expectations. The job numbers are through the roof. The United States just added 165,000 jobs in October. They thought the number would be maybe around 20, slightly more. They told them, including 19,000 brand new manufacturing jobs, the largest one month increase in manufacturing jobs in many, many decades. And despite the, thank you, despite the $3 trillion lost yesterday, you know, our country lost $3 trillion all because of an election. I wonder what that means. If we would have gained $3 trillion, I probably would have been more unhappy. But you know what that means? That means that they thought somebody else did well in the election. By the way, I was not on the ballot, just in case you had any questions. Because if we were on the ballot, we would have won. But we weren't. But these guys were, and they won. That's why we're so proud of you. You won pretty easily, too. We've secured $22.2 trillion of investment in less than two years. Nobody's ever done that. No country has ever done that much. Personal incomes for the typical American recently reached the highest level ever recorded. The poverty rate is at the best and lowest level ever recorded. More Americans are working today than at any time ever before in the history of our country. Think about that one. We're also ensuring that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. They will never have it. Not even close. They're not close. They tried. They tried. And you know what? If they did have it, if we didn't go in with those beautiful B-2 bombers a little more than a year ago, if I allowed them to have it today, there would be no Israel. It would have been wiped off the face of the earth, and there would be no Middle East. And I know because I deal with these people. We will never let that happen. Iran will never, ever have a nuclear weapon. You can rest assured. So our country is strong again. Our country is respected again. Over the next two years, we will lead America and NASA to new heights of achievement and success that the world has never seen. We've never seen what we're doing right now. Jared's such a big part of it. We have the smartest minds, the most brilliant minds. Anywhere in the world, when I came into office and began my first term back in 2017, the NASA, I was here, it was dead. I said, are there any people around? All you had was broken runways with grass growing up the cracks of the runways. It wasn't, I said, you know, that only happens when a place isn't used, when wheels aren't running over it. But there was grass, it was more grass than they had in asphalt or concrete. And here at the Kennedy Space Center, things are really going well. The ambition was gone, though, at that time. I'll never forget it. The spirit was gone. I met, like, two people. That's about all we had here. There were almost nobody. I said, is there anybody around? Knock, knock. Anybody home? Now it's thriving. But the spirit was gone. The inspiration was gone. And after many years of failed leadership from Washington, the United States had even lost the ability to send their own astronauts into space. Wasn't going to happen. But I had to make a decision. Do we open this place up and make it great? Or do we let it die? And I think you know the decision because it's never been more vibrant. I watched this. A couple of months ago, what was happening, that big, beautiful ship going up, and everybody who was with me, they all stopped a very important dinner. Let's watch. But those days are days of failure and neglect and decline. They're all behind us. They're gone. Under the Trump administration, our ambition is back. Our momentum is back. Our leadership is back. NASA is back. And above all, and most importantly, the United States of America is back. As a symbol of that national renewal, today we gather by the, and this is a gathering of real friends, by the same runway that once stood cracked and silent to announce that this very site will soon be the premier venue for the air and space demonstrations from all over the world. For decades, the world's major aerospace shows have been held overseas, from Paris to the United Kingdom to Dubai. Those foreign air shows have drawn the biggest crowds and big contracts, big headlines, and it's been more than 30 years since a new airliner was unveiled at the show on American soil. We didn't have the big shows. They were in Paris, mostly, I think, at the Paris Air Show. But those foreign countries do not dominate aviation, and they don't dominate aerospace. They don't even come close, actually. We do, and under the Trump administration, we believe that the future of those industries should be unveiled right here in the USA. We dominate, and we should have the biggest show we will have within two years. The biggest air show, that means commercial, that means space, that means in the world by far, it won't even be close. And when people ask me what exactly we're trying to do, I said exactly that, that we're going to do a bigger and better, grander version than the Paris air show. Much bigger, much grander, and we have the right location. This is such a great, unlimited runway, unlimited space to do fantastic. buildings and all the things necessary to do it so we're going to have a show the likes of which has never been done before. Next year you'll see an even bigger building and over the next few years you'll see the biggest air show anywhere in the world that'll take place very quickly I'd say two years and that includes commercial aircraft of all types you'll have all of the big commercial flights and companies Boeing everybody's going to be here the former. Shuttle landing facility will be transformed into a 1,900 acre venue that will bring hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, generate billions of dollars in economic impact, and host hundreds of billions of dollars in deals. We're going to sign deals, commercial and private and whoever, all right here in Central Florida where... All of that business is very important to Byron. Byron's already getting very happy. He's saying, oh, what a great job. But you're going to be happy. And you'll be here every year with me, okay? We'll be here to launch each year. To the entire team at NASA who have worked to make this vision a real reality, a beautiful, a gorgeous reality, and especially Administrator Isaacman, congratulations on this historic achievement. There could be no better place to launch the next generation of American breakthroughs than Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, where America's future will take flight. This soil is where Alan Shepard became the first American to ride into space on a pillar of fire. It was fire. I remember that so well. It's where the largest rocket ever built, the Saturn V, tore free of Earth's gravity and raced into the stars. It's where the space shuttle first climbed into the heavens and where the heroes of Apollo 11 embarked on their mission to plant our great American flag on the moon, securing our place as the most incredible and exceptional nation in all of history. The breakthroughs of single lifetime carried Americans from the sands of Kitty Hawk to the surface of the moon in just 66 years. Think of it, 66 years. But then in one of the great tragedies of modern times or political class, you don't know anything about them. You don't think these people, they abandoned you. They abandoned this vision and they abandoned the commitment to progress. We lost the ability to go to the moon. We lost the ability to go anywhere in space. We forgot how to build the Saturn V rocket. We walked away from supersonic flight. And when you think about it, I used to travel on a supersonic plane 30 years ago, and it used to go extremely fast, more than double what they go today. This may be the only industry in the world where we've gone backwards. We used to fly in that beautiful Concorde, one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen. It was a piece of art. I flew on it often. And then one day, they cut the speed in about one third. I said, what happened? So it's one of the few industries that have gone backward, but no more, no more. We're going way forward. We'll be way forward, actually, of the Concorde itself. We lowered our ambitions and turned from big dreams and bold visions to small thinking and stagnation. It was pure stagnation. But America cannot remain the leading nation on Earth if we turn away from that big, great giant. frontier, the biggest frontier of them all. History has shown that if a nation wants to dominate the future, then it must build for the future. Great civilizations do not stand still. They're rising, falling, expanding, shrinking, leading or declining. And in America, our destiny is to lead. That's what we do as we lead. Make America great again. That's what we do. Our Calling is to explore, our purpose is to build. Our aim is always to win, want to win, pushing the boundaries of human achievement further than anyone has ever done before. And we're there now, we're ready, we're ready. It's taken a long time to put us back in a position where we were far advanced over what we were when we were at our previous height. That's why in my first term, I signed the orders creating the Artemis program. Directing NASA to return American astronauts to the moon and then push forward to Mars. This year, Artemis II made history circling the moon for the first time in more than 50 years, traveling further from Earth than anyone has ever traveled before. Think of that, the furthest anyone has ever traveled before. Three months ago, it was my privilege to award the crew of Artemis II. The Congressional Space Medal of Honor. And today we're pleased to be joined by astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen. And wherever you may be, please stand up. You're great guys, great people. Next summer, Artemis III will carry astronauts into orbit on a complex mission to test the next. Lunar landers, and we are pleased to be joined by Artemis III astronauts, Randy Bresnik and Frank Rubio. Any relation to Marco Rubio, Frank? Where's Marco? Marco, do you know this guy? Come here, Marco. Where's Marco? Would you shake his hand? Shake his hand just in case somewhere along the line you're related. Two good-looking guys. Somewhere deep down from hundreds of years ago, I think you're related, Franco. And thank you all. Because of their work before the end of my term, the United States will return American astronauts to the surface of the moon. So exciting. And soon thereafter, the United States will establish a permanent presence on lunar soil. That's a big ambition. It's been for many years. Just this week, I issued the American Declaration of Freedom in Space, claiming all of space open for American settlement, American civilization, and American freedom. Within the next two years, NASA will launch the first ever nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars. I spent so much time talking. To Jared and a lot of the people on that, my father's brother, Dr. John Trump, was for 51 years at MIT. He knew a lot about this, although probably not quite as advanced, but he spent 51 years as a professor at MIT, from a young man to the longest-serving professor, and I gave. Elon and some of the great geniuses of our time, the Science Award, and then they told me that Ronald Reagan gave my uncle the Science Award, Dr. John Trump, years before, so that was a great honor, but we would talk about it a lot. He was an expert at sort of everything science, and he would be amazed at what we've been able to do, but we're going to be paving the way for astronauts to plant the... Stars and stripes on the red planet, as they call it. Everywhere we can, our administration is ending years of soil progress and seizing the future that rightfully belongs to America. In my first term, I created the first new branch of the U.S. military in nearly 75 years, Space Force. Think of that. Think of that. One of the coolest things we've ever done. And at the Johnson Space Center last summer, I signed an executive order to establish a new national academy, the U.S. Space Academy. That will be designated fairly soon, and it's going to be special. Think of West Point. Think of the Air Force Academy or Annapolis or Coast Guard Academy. You're going to have your own. It's going to make you very happy. You're going to have great, brilliant people going through that academy. Many years to come. Last year, I signed an executive order to repeal the prohibition on supersonic flight over the continental United States for the first time in more than 50 years. I love hearing that. I constantly ask Jared, how bad is it? Every time I'm with Jared, I said, how bad is that sonic boom or whatever you call it? And I said, how bad? He goes, not bad. I said, so why don't we just open it up? Let's open it up. And they've got lots of ways of controlling it, so we've terminated that band. It's going to be a lot. That was one of the reasons we never went further. It's one of the reasons the Concorde and all of the future of those supersonic planes never happened, and now it can happen thanks to advancements in engineering. This will soon be possible without a sonic boom. I also signed an order to supercharge the American drone industry and even allow for advanced electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and autonomous flight. And we are ensuring that the United States remains the undisputed global leader in superintelligence, SI, superintelligence, which is really a much better name than artificial. This is not artificial. It's super. It's too super sometimes. That's what we have to worry about. We'll make it a little bit less super, maybe. But whoever wins, SI wins. We're leading China now by a year, maybe even a little more. We want to win. We have to win. Whoever wins that, whoever wins, superintelligence wins. And under the Trump administration, the winner will always be the United States of America. We're leading now. I was with President Xi three weeks ago at the White House, and we talked about it, and he's all in. And he congratulated us on how well we're doing. And I said the same to him. He's doing great. We're leading and we want to keep it that way. It's a big deal. America is the nation that dreamed and created the modern world. And we laid the railroads, harnessed electricity and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the assembly line, the television, the microchip, the personal computer, the Internet, GPS. The smartphone and almost every other thing, think of it, almost every other thing that's worth mentioning. That's a cool list though, wouldn't you think? How about a little piece of each of them? Wouldn't that be nice? You wouldn't be sitting here right now, you'd be someplace else. But think of that, that names, every one of them and many, many more, which honored the human... Genome to cure diseases powered entire cities by splitting single atoms and built telescopes to peer all the way back to the beginning of time. And to be an American is to inherit the legacy of the greatest pioneers, explorers, inventors, and innovators who ever lived. And so to laugh in the face of doubters and critics who are always ready to say, why are you doing this? Why are you doing it? In 1901, the chief engineer of the U.S. Navy said that the idea of manned flight was nothing but a vain fantasy, as thin as air itself. Two years later, the Wright brothers achieved the age-old dream of all humanity, and that's to fly. They flew. Nobody could believe it. In 1957, inventor Lee DeForest said that man will never reach the moon, regardless of all future scientific advances. Twelve years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin strode across the lunar surface. Time and time again, our courage, ingenuity, and sheer determination has achieved what everyone thought to be totally impossible until American. And America and our great country and our unbelievable genius minds got it done. As I said in my inaugural address, in America, the impossible is what we do best. That's exactly what we do best. Now our nation is ready to prove the doubt is wrong yet again and to make the next giant leap for all of mankind. Looking around these grounds today, we can still proudly say that after 250 years of American freedom, the best is yet to come. So I want to just thank everyone. And again, this is a phenomenal, a phenomenal week. And maybe most importantly, I want to thank and congratulate our great continuation of the Senate. Not totally new, sort of new, but it's a continuation. And a man who will end up being a great governor, I have absolutely no doubt about it. Thank you both, and congratulations. Now, let me invite Administrator Isaacman back to the stage for a very special presentation. Jared, please. Thank you very much, everybody. Great honor. Mr. President, we brought you something very special here. This plaque was made for you. We are going to install it on the runway that you helped energize, that you helped bring back to life. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Thank you for being with us tonight. Thanks for what you're doing for NASA and for the nation. And that was President Trump speaking from the Kennedy Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida. He went through a list of things that he's focused on related to aviation. His plan is to make Cape Canaveral the global center for aviation in the world for both commercial as well as space. He discussed creating the Space Force, the plans to go to the moon and then back to and then to Mars. But he's also rebooting supersonic flight. Remember the Concorde? He said aviation is the only industry that actually regressed and his plan is to turn that back around and bring back supersonic flight where you can get across the ocean in just several hours as opposed to what we have now. He also talked about vertical landing planes, SI, super intelligence, and all of the work being done on drones. So a lot being announced there from Cape Canaveral. That was the president from the Kennedy Space Center. We're going to jump to a short break. Coming up, there are still two Senate races that are not called in Alaska and Mississippi.

We separate what's documented from what's folklore and we remember who the story actually belongs to. The victims, the witnesses, people who refuse to look away. Watch Beyond the Evidence on NTD Plus today. Welcome back to NTD Evening News. I'm Cary Dunst. We are still waiting on the results from a couple of U.S. Senate races. Mary Peltola and Dan Sullivan are neck and neck in Alaska, while Cindy Hyde-Smith and Scott Colum are in a similarly tight race down in Mississippi. NTD's Fiona Gee reports. We're now three days past Election Day and still waiting on those Senate results in Alaska and Mississippi. They're the only two states where the Associated Press Still hasn't called a winner yet. According to AP, Alaskan GOP incumbent Dan Sullivan is only trailing behind Democrat Mary Peltola by around 600 votes. There's controversy here surrounding another candidate also named Dan Sullivan. The Department of Justice sued, trying to block certification of the race if the incumbent Dan Sullivan loses. A federal judge tossed that case. President Trump tells NTD's Iris Tao he believes the second Dan Sullivan caused confusion among voters who were trying to vote for the incumbent who was endorsed by Trump. So they cheated on thousands of votes. Everyone knows it's a cheat. And they should be mandated to take the fake Dan Sullivan's votes and the other person they put in it and give it to the real Dan Sullivan. And when that happens, he wins by thousands of votes. Alaska uses a ranked choice voting system where the ballot includes four candidates regardless of party. Currently, the second Dan Sullivan sits in fourth place with around 3,600 votes. In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colombe leads Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by less than one percentage point. The state is still counting mail-in ballots and verifying provisional ballots. The deadline for this process is Tuesday. The tight race is surprising for Deep Red Mississippi. As of Friday, around 97% of the votes are in, and Cologne leads by around 2,000 votes. A note here that Mississippi doesn't do recounts, but a nominee could request a court order for one. Democrats have so far won 20 out of the 35 Senate seats that were up for grabs this midterm season. Reporting from Washington, D.C., Fiona Gee, NTD News. And New York Governor Kathy Hochul suggesting she may support new taxes to funding New York City's universal child care program. Her comments come after she had previously said that there would be no new statewide tax increases. NTD's Jason Perry has more. New York Governor Kathy Hochul appears to be open to new taxes to help fund Mayor Zoran Mamdani's universal child care program for two-year-olds in New York City. Hochul's comments come after she previously mentioned there would be no new tax increases. On Friday, reporters asking Hochul about funding the child care program going forward. Hochul responds by saying that when there's a severe need to do something extraordinary, she is willing to do what has to happen. her earlier decision to raise the payroll mobility tax to keep New York City's subway system running. She says any next steps would be pragmatic and focused on delivering for the people who put them in office. Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has long advocated raising taxes on high earners and corporations to pay for universal child care. Hochul has previously backed Mamdani's tax measures, including a tax on luxury second homes in New York City, and that's expected to generate $500 million per year. And for Mamdani's universal child care plan for New York City, Hochul said earlier this year that the state is committing funding for the initial phase from existing revenues. Hochul's comments on Friday mark a potential shift in her policies as both she and Mom Donnie look ahead to next year's budget. Jason Perry, NTD News. And U.S. employers added 165,000 jobs in October, well above economists' expectations. It's the first major economic report since Democrats won control of Congress. NTD's correspondent Jason Blair has more. The Labor Department reports that employers added 165,000 jobs last month. Economists expected about 60,000 to 65,000. That brings this year's gains to 861,000 compared to 116,000 in all of 2025. Unemployment fell to 4.1 percent from 4.2 percent. The report comes as President Donald Trump prepares to face a Democratic-controlled House and Senate for his final two years in office. The White House response saying the U.S. economy again crushed economists' expectations with very strong private sector job growth in October. The labor force is thriving under President Trump. Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, also responds. And also that the quit rate went up, which means that people are so confident that if they leave their job, they're going to get a better job, that they're even quitting. And now we have a jobs report that was way more than double expectation. Ranking member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, Robert Scott, was critical, saying in the almost two years since President Trump returned to office, the price of necessities such as groceries, health care and gas has skyrocketed. Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management, told CNBC the report, quote, is a strong rebuttal to fears that the economy is heading into a meaningful slowdown. Professional and business services, health care and transportation and warehousing-led hiring manufacturers added 19,000 jobs. Private employers accounted for nearly all the gains, adding 159,000 jobs. Government employment increased by 6,000. The number of people working part-time because they could not find full-time work or because their hours were cut increased by 339,000. Average hourly earnings rose 0.4% to $38. Annual wage growth reached 3.1% in October, below September's annual inflation rate of 3.7%. The Federal Reserve's next rate decision is December 9th. October inflation figures are due Tuesday, November 10th. Jason Blair, NTD News. And the DOJ is honoring Jacksonville, Florida. The city was awarded federal funding through the Model Cities Initiative, a significant effort to combat violent crime in America. Jacksonville is one of four cities selected to receive additional funds. NTD's Arlene Richards has more. Local, state, and federal officials gathering in Jacksonville, Florida on Friday. So I am thrilled to be here in Jacksonville, Florida to announce one of the winners. The Justice Department recognizing Jacksonville for its efforts to fight crime. The city is one of four jurisdictions selected for the new Model Cities Initiative, aimed at reducing violent crime and strengthening public safety. Attorney General Todd Blanche explaining why Jacksonville was selected out of nearly 50 applications. It's because of their compelling, whole-of-government approach and vision for targeting violent crime and enhancing public safety across jurisdictional and ideological lines. And because of our belief in their ability to deliver results and follow through on that vision. Nearly 300 million dollars in federal funding has been earmarked for the federal initiative, with Jacksonville being awarded close to 74 million dollars. Blanche says for nearly 20 years, Jacksonville was called the murder capital of Florida. But that changed in 2024.

Elon Musk says his company will increase cyber cab vehicles instead of the futuristic pickup truck. NTD's David Lam reports. Elon Musk says Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck in Texas around mid-2027. The Cybertruck's X account showing the vehicle riding off into the sunset. Musk says the decision will make room for increased production of its newly launched Cybercab. Raleigh Newman, founder of Motiv Brands, gives NTD his reaction. I think it's very interesting. You know, you look at Tesla's history and their pattern of doing this, where, you know, Elon Musk in particular, his personality, he'll always come out with something that's over the top. And then kind of pull back, right? We saw that with the Roadster originally. Tesla began delivering the Cybertruck to customers in late 2023. According to Kelly Blue Book, the automaker sold 20,000 Cybertrucks in the U.S. last year. But Musk previously had predicted sales of 250,000 Cybertrucks a year before its initial launch. The vehicle itself is something that is going to draw eyes. And it's a very. I guess deliberate decision that'd be needed by the consumer versus you see you know Model Ys and 3s everywhere because they are kind of just a dime a dozen now and people feel comfortable buying something that everyone else has. X users have responded with sadness showing their love for the futuristic and angular pickup truck but one critic hails the decision. I mean, there's never anything wrong with cutting things that are not ultimately working and hoping to innovate for better. I think Elon ruined the brand completely. If you look at anything he's done from the Raptor rocket to the design of, you know, the Tesla vehicle, he's always subtracting and getting it down to the bare bones so it can just be, you know, much more efficient to produce. Cybertruck's lead engineer says Tesla will maintain spare parts and service will continue support. David Lam, NTD News. A North Carolina man says he nearly lost his life after allegedly being poisoned by his estranged wife. Now he's taking ChatGPT's creator, OpenAI, to court, claiming that the bot played a role. NTD's Christina Corona has more. A North Carolina man is suing OpenAI. A North Carolina man is suing OpenAI claiming that ChatGPT gave his estranged wife detailed instructions on how to poison him. The case is raising questions about whether AI companies should be held responsible when their technology is used to potentially harm others. James Gates says he became ill in July 2025 experiencing a racing heart and uncontrollable shaking. He later discovered a handwritten note from his wife referencing an alleged poisoning plan, along with a reminder to delete her ChatGPT history. The lawsuit alleges there were at least 25 exchanges about poisoning, including questions about lethal drug combinations, dosages, and toxic plants like oleander. In one conversation, his wife allegedly asked whether the substances would be easier to hide in beer or a Celsius energy drink. The lawsuit claims ChatGPT recommended the energy drink and even compared which beverages would best the taste. Gates claims the chatbot reinforced his wife's suspicions about their marriage and helped her plan the alleged attack. His wife, Cheryl Harris Gates, was arrested in October 2025 and charged with attempted murder and contaminating food or drink with a controlled substance. Prosecutors later dropped the charges, citing a lack of evidence. OpenAI spokesperson says safety is a top priority and confirmed Cheryl Harris Gates was banned from the platform. The company also says it works with mental health experts to improve safety measures. Gates is seeking unspecified damages, arguing that OpenAI was negligent. The lawsuit could raise bigger questions about where responsibility falls when AI technology is used in dangerous ways. Reporting from the city of Arcadia, Christina Corona, NTD News. Coming up, supermarket freezers in Europe have already been hit, and now U.S. agencies are warning businesses here to lock down their cold storage systems, and they explain why.

I'm Cary Dunst. A new target for hackers, the freezer aisle. Federal agencies say hackers are targeting the temperature controls on commercial freezers and refrigeration units that store food and medicine. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the FBI say attackers could change temperatures or force units into nonstop defrost cycles, and that would spoil food, damage equipment, and even create fire hazards. Officials are urging operators to take these systems off the public internet, change the default passwords, and install updates. The warning follows attacks on supermarket freezers across Europe. Where officials are also dealing with a wave of hoax bomb threats against flights. More threats were reported today, including against nine flights at Prague's airport. Nothing suspicious was found and fortunately no one was hurt. In a warning from the top in Taiwan, President Lai Ching-te says coordinated online activity is trying to shape public opinion. The move comes ahead of local elections later this month, including a very closely watched race for mayor of Taipei. NTD's Daniel Monaghan reports. Taiwanese President Lai says a wave of new social media accounts has appeared in recent weeks. They were registered with foreign phone numbers but list Taiwan as their location. He says the accounts cluster under new posts on specific issues. They comment and repost in concentrated bursts, apparently to steer how voters see those issues. According to Lai, the accounts were created within a short window and show recurring patterns of activity. He's urging party officials, candidates, and campaign staff to stay calm and alert to misinformation, smear campaigns, and other interference. Campaign teams for Lai's Democratic Progressive Party, or DPP, say their official websites have also been hit by distributed denial-of-service attacks meant to overload servers and knock the sites offline. The DPP supports Taiwan's sovereignty and rejects the Chinese Communist Party's push to bring the island under its rule. The party's highest profile contest is in the capital. Taipei mayoral candidate Puma Shen is trying to win back a city the DPP hasn't held since 1998. Shen built his public profile studying Chinese disinformation, the same kind of online manipulation now at the center of this campaign. He also co-founded Kuma Academy, which trains civilians to respond to a possible attack from Beijing. Beijing has targeted Shen directly, opening a police investigation into him. Shen says Taiwan's elections are an answer to that pressure. Whoever wins. I think what a real slap on China is democracy. It doesn't... So for me, even Jiang Wanhan got elected is also a step on China because we prove that democracy works here in Taiwan and we're not interfered, I mean, by China. So every election is a slap on it. For some Taipei voters, the race has brought back an enthusiasm they haven't felt in years. This meat vendor at a local wet market says it's been a long time since politics stirred him like this. After all, in Taipei City, the DPP has never won in a one-on-one contest. So this time, with this rare opportunity, there is suddenly a strong surge of emotion. It felt as though I had gone back to my childhood. With voters heading to the polls later this month, Taiwan's leaders say keeping the outcome in voters' hands is now part of the campaign itself.

NTD's Andrew Thomas has more on the young pharaoh. Visitors at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza take photos of a unique artifact, King Tutankhamen's golden death mask. British archaeologist Howard Carter first discovered the young pharaoh's 3,000-year-old tomb on November 4, 1922. Carter would unearth the inner chamber containing his sarcophagus and mummified remains just a few months later. Tutankhamen took the Egyptian throne at age 9, ruling until his death at age 18 or 19. His precise cause of death remains uncertain, but CT scans and DNA tests have provided clues suggesting he died of complications from a broken leg and malaria. More than 5,000 artifacts from Tutankhamun's tomb are on display at the Grand Egyptian Museum. His tomb and mummified remains in the Valley of the Kings continuing to draw tourists from around the world. Andrew Thomas, NTD News.
