Deadly Saudi airport attack caught on video; Trump weighs firing Kimberly Guilfoyle

A deadly strike at a Saudi airport and the moment the ceiling comes crashing down on passengers. Plus, could Trump fire his own ambassador to Greece? The allegations putting Kimberly Guilfoyle's job on the line. And 20 million taxpayer dollars for Trump TV ads. Now a federal judge has ordered them off the air early. The stories that matter. The facts you can trust. From across the country to around the world, This is Unbiased Updates from Straight Arrow. Hey everyone, I'm Christian Bryant. Hope your morning is off to a great start. Let's get you caught up and ready for the day ahead. Saudi Arabia is hosting some of the world's top energy leaders this morning, just hours after another deadly attack on its main international airport. And now there are growing concerns about how much longer the country can defend itself against these strikes. New security video shows the moment a missile struck Riyadh's international airport Saturday, sending ceiling panels crashing down on passengers. That attack killed at least 13 people, including an American, and injured more than 300 others. Then on Sunday, another strike hit the same airport, killing one person and injuring 11 more. The Iran-backed Houthis also targeted an airport in the Saudi city of Dammam. And despite all this, a major international energy conference is going ahead in Riyadh today. Saudi Arabia's energy minister thanked those who showed up, but warned, quote, our gathering here does not mean the risk is gone. He also vowed a serious response to the attacks. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is reportedly running low on the missiles it uses to shoot down incoming attacks, and the Houthis are threatening to keep striking unless Saudi Arabia stops its military campaign in Yemen. President Trump condemned the attack Saturday when speaking to reporters. I think it's terrible. Well, you're going to find out, Steve, but I think it's terrible. Well, they're able to defend. Look, the Saudis are good fighters, but I think the attack was a terrible thing. And now the Houthis claim Saudi warplanes have already struck Yemen's capital in retaliation. Saudi Arabia has not confirmed those strikes. Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, could soon be out of a job. The Associated Press reports President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are, quote, extremely pissed off over allegations about her conduct. And according to a senior U.S. official, they could decide whether to fire her as soon as tomorrow. The allegations include claims that Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to pay off a $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for access to top administration officials. She's also been accused of threatening a Greek official and accepting improper gifts and services. Guilfoyle denies any wrongdoing. Her lawyers say the money she sought was actually payment owed for public appearances. Quote, we are evaluating all available legal remedies to collect this debt and any other potential causes of action. Meanwhile, Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso says the reports are troubling and he expects an investigation. Here he is on CBS Face the Nation. Well, what we've seen in the reports is very troubling. It's concerning, and I'm sure there's going to be an investigation. I would assume the State Department would be conducting that. I know that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will have oversight and look into that as well. But I think the public has a right to know what is found, and it is quite a bit of concern. The AP reports the State Department's inspector general is already looking into the allegations, though it's unclear whether a formal investigation has begun. A federal judge has ordered the the Trump administration to stop airing a series of political-style TV ads paid for with taxpayer money. The ads were already set to end last night, but the judge ordered them off the air a few hours early. The Department of Homeland Security used $20 million in taxpayer money to fund the campaign, which includes an ad from Trump's last presidential run. A watchdog group and other plaintiffs sued, arguing the government was illegally using public money to promote Trump's political message. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. The White House says there are public service announcements, but Trump said last week that his political fundraising would pay for the ads going forward. As for the taxpayer money already spent, the White House says there are no immediate plans to pay it back. The Democratic National Committee has filed a separate lawsuit over the ads. President Trump says he'll make the final call on whether the military livestreams the execution of a former Army major who killed 13 people at Fort Hood. The Pentagon announced the plan last week, and now it's drawing pushback from Republicans, including some in Trump's own administration. Nidal Hasan is scheduled to die by firing squad Dec. 3 at the same Texas Army base where he carried out the 2009 mass shooting. The former Army psychiatrist was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 others. It would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by firing squad since World War II. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the livestream plan Thursday, but the Pentagon hasn't said where it would air or how the public would watch. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski is urging the Pentagon to reverse course. On X, she wrote, quote, I would expect this from terrorists and dictators, but not here in America. Pope Leo also weighed in Saturday, calling the death penalty inadmissible. He didn't directly address Hasan's case, but said justice can be served without capital punishment. Vice President J.D. Vance was asked about the controversy Friday. So whatever the controversy is about the method of the execution, I hope that people don't forget that this is a guy who brutally murdered a lot of innocent people. Now, that said, I mean, look, if it's ultimately live streamed, I'm not going to be watching it. On Saturday, Trump said he's hearing arguments on both sides. He's a vicious killer, killed 13 people in cold blood, wounded over 20. Some of those people will never have their lives back in a true sense. He was vicious. He was violent. There are two thoughts. Don't show it and show it. Because, you know, by showing it, maybe other people won't be doing what he did. So I'll make a decision ultimately. Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen defended the plan on CBS Sunday. I think people need to understand, if you attack America, we will come after you, and we will make sure that the punishment fits the crime. I have no sympathy for him, and I give absolutely zero thought to the way that this man dies. Under current Army rules, only select witnesses can attend a military execution. The Pentagon still hasn't explained how a public livestream would work, and Trump hasn't said when he'll make his decision. Parts of Southern California are dealing with some serious flooding this morning, and the threat isn't over yet. The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel are helping drive dangerous surf and unusually high water levels along the coast. Take a look at the damage in Long Beach. Ocean water has pushed into coastal areas, leaving flooding and damage behind. And residents are now getting a look at what the water left behind. In Newport Beach, waves have been pounding the shore since Friday, flooding streets and prompting the city to declare a local emergency. All city beaches and piers remain closed until further notice. And a coastal flood warning for Orange County remains in effect through Tuesday afternoon. And check out these scenes from Las Vegas. Flash flooding sent water rushing through streets near the Link Promenade just off the strip. Police blocked roads and some drivers ended up stuck in the water. Back in Southern California, forecasters warn more flooding and beach erosion are possible as high surf continues into the new week. Finally this morning, who says you need snow to go skiing? Well, not these folks in a London suburb. Welcome to Surbiton, where skiers strap blocks of ice to their feet and slide down a hill covered in plastic sheeting. And apparently, anything goes. Costumes, bathtubs, even some local police got in on the fun. And the man behind it all has a pretty good explanation for why they do this. Why is there only one thing people can afford to go overseas to strap wood to their feet and go down ice? Most scientists came up with the idea if we put ice on our feet, surely we could ski on anything. And here we are on Sir Boggs Hill about to prove the point yet again as people come from around the world and I'm not joking to take part in this amazing event. The fastest run, just 11.25 seconds, not bad considering staying upright seemed to be half the challenge. And it's all for a good cause with entry fees going to a local charity. If I was in it, I would have done a makeshift double decker. Maybe they can invite me next time. Just saying, folks, we're the fastest fares, few minutes and news.
