00:03:06.440 Secretary of War Pete Hegseth facing a growing impeachment threat from both sides of the aisle.
00:03:11.600 as President Trump reportedly considers replacing him following Republicans' devastating midterm
00:03:16.820 losses. According to Fox News Digital, several House Republicans now believe an effort to impeach
00:03:22.340 Hegseth could succeed as early as next week, as anger over the war in Iran intensifies following
00:03:28.140 Tuesday's election. Republican Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky announcing plans to force an
00:03:33.940 impeachment vote when Congress returns, unless Secretary Hegseth resigns first. Massey previously
00:03:39.720 introducing articles of impeachment against the secretary earlier this year, accusing him of
00:03:44.460 violating federal law and exceeding his authority in directing U.S. military operations. The
00:03:50.060 congressman writing on X yesterday that President Trump should consider replacing Hegseth while
00:03:55.000 Republicans still control the Senate, warning that Democrats will pursue far more aggressive
00:03:59.760 investigations once they take power in January. Massey planning to introduce what's known as a
00:04:05.380 privileged resolution, a procedural maneuver that would force House lawmakers to address the
00:04:10.020 impeachment effort within two legislative days. Republican leaders could attempt to block the
00:04:15.120 measure by voting to table it or send it to committee, but several GOP lawmakers telling
00:04:19.740 Fox News Digital they believe it could pass. One Republican declaring Hegseth is, quote,
00:04:24.760 screwed, while another predicting the measure would succeed if brought to a vote. The outcome
00:04:29.920 potentially hinging on attendance, as some defeated Republicans may choose not to return
00:04:34.380 to Washington for the final weeks of the congressional session. With the GOP holding
00:04:38.920 only a narrow majority, even a handful of Republican absences could give Democrats and
00:04:44.060 Republican defectors enough votes to impeach Secretary Hegseth, per Fox Digital. One current
00:04:49.800 White House official telling Fox the election would have looked dramatically different without
00:04:53.400 the war in Iran, predicting President Trump will ultimately hold Secretary Hegseth accountable
00:04:58.260 before the end of the year. The White House publicly criticizing the impeachment push,
00:05:02.880 spokeswoman Lauren Biss accusing Democrats of pursuing partisan investigations rather than
00:05:08.520 working alongside the president. Secretary Hegseth himself firing back in a lengthy video
00:05:13.520 posted to X Thursday, accusing Massey and his Democrat allies of using impeachment as a political
00:05:19.540 weapon. This is not about me, but of course the other side, in case you've noticed, they're
00:05:26.180 obsessed. A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies, has also
00:05:32.520 dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly, just like they tried against President
00:05:38.200 Trump twice. You see, their policies don't work, so their obsession with political theater
00:05:43.740 disguised as power drives them to try to destroy their opponents. It's all about the politics of
00:05:49.720 personal destruction. Didn't work against President Trump, and it won't work with me.
00:05:54.300 you can rest assured of that. Meanwhile, questions mounting about whether Hegseth
00:05:59.000 will remain in President Trump's cabinet. According to CBS News, President Trump has
00:06:03.380 privately asked advisors whether Hegseth should keep his job, raising the possibility of a shakeup
00:06:08.500 following Republicans' sweeping election losses. The network's citing multiple sources familiar
00:06:13.660 with the conversations, as several potential scenarios circulate within Republican circles.
00:06:18.900 One involving Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who a source tells CBS is being considered as
00:06:23.900 a possible replacement. DeSantis could potentially secure Senate confirmation during the lame duck
00:06:29.180 session, then take over the Department of War when his term as governor expires January 5th.
00:06:35.140 Another possibility involves Hegseth leaving the administration for a seat in the U.S. Senate. 0.97
00:06:40.380 Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn winning her state's governor's race Tuesday,
00:06:44.380 meaning she will have to vacate her Senate seat before taking office in January.
00:06:48.580 Under Tennessee law, the governor can appoint a temporary replacement,
00:06:51.760 and Hegseth's name has reportedly surfaced as a possible candidate.
00:06:55.760 Secretary Hegseth and his family own a home outside Nashville,
00:06:58.940 although local reporting suggests he is considered a less likely choice for the appointment.
00:07:03.420 A source close to incoming Governor Marsha Blackburn telling Punchbowl News
00:07:06.820 that Hegseth is not under consideration for the Senate appointment.
00:07:10.560 President Trump asked directly Wednesday whether he was considering replacing Hegseth.
00:07:14.980 Are you considering replacing Secretary Hegseth?
00:07:17.980 No, I think he's doing a very good job.
00:07:19.560 You don't want him to fill Marsha Blackburn?
00:07:21.420 Well, I think he's doing a very good job, and I actually think he'd be very popular
00:07:28.640 if he did that, but I haven't heard that at all.
00:07:31.880 President Trump pressed about Hegseth again yesterday during an appearance in the Oval
00:07:35.620 Office, praising the Secretary's performance but offering no further details about his
00:07:40.140 future in the administration.
00:07:43.080 An armed security guard who is a Marine Corps veteran being hailed as a hero after stopping
00:07:48.340 a gunman who opened fire at a Citibank office complex near Tampa, Florida, shooting the
00:07:53.300 attacker after he killed a woman and stormed into the building's cafeteria.
00:07:57.620 Sheriff Chad Chronister identifying the guard as John Fraley, crediting him with confronting
00:08:02.300 the gunman and preventing further bloodshed.
00:08:04.920 The deadly confrontation unfolding Wednesday afternoon at the Citibank Center in Brandon,
00:08:09.440 where more than 3,200 employees were working at the time.
00:08:12.900 According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the attack beginning when 35-year-old
00:08:17.060 Jacob Pearson of Orlando, drove his gray sedan over several medians, crossed a grassy area,
00:08:22.940 and smashed through a security fence, the car plowing into an outdoor dining area where employees
00:08:28.400 were eating lunch. Then the driver climbed out carrying a rifle. Chief Deputy Frank Losat
00:08:33.680 describing what happened next. When he enters the property, he drives over several medians
00:08:38.640 through a grassed area, drives through a secure fenced part of the building, crashes into an
00:08:46.300 outdoor seating area where multiple individuals were having lunch upon the car coming to rest
00:08:52.920 the suspect exits the vehicle with a rifle approaches the female and she is shot we will
00:09:00.920 not release the identification on the female we are still pending full identification and next
00:09:06.740 akin notification video obtained by the tampa bay times showing the gunman approaching a person on
00:09:12.400 the ground and apparently firing several shots at close range, then walking away. Another recording
00:09:18.140 capturing people shouting warnings as the armed suspect approached. The victim identified yesterday
00:09:23.660 as 41-year-old Leanne Selman of Palm Harbor, a Citibank employee of nine years who died at the
00:09:29.460 scene. The gunman then entering the building's cafeteria, where Fraley, hearing the gunshots,
00:09:34.860 rushed toward the danger, taking up a defensive position inside a men's restroom. The Marine
00:09:39.900 veteran then exchanging gunfire with Pearson, fatally wounding the attacker. According to the
00:09:45.220 sheriff's office, Fraley stopped the attack just four minutes after the first 911 calls came in
00:09:49.880 at 12.11 p.m. The gunman transported to Tampa General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead
00:09:55.700 shortly after 1 p.m. A witness describing to WHIO the terrifying moments as employees scrambled to
00:10:02.880 escape. I was right outside the cafeteria having lunch on the benches outside. We're just eating.
00:10:08.080 All of a sudden, I heard some people screaming, heard some people running around, and then I saw a big group of people, panicked faces.
00:10:15.900 I heard three shots. The next thing I know, I was sprinting all the way out here.
00:10:19.680 Four other people hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, Sheriff Chronister indicating that some may have been hurt while fleeing the gunfire.
00:10:27.760 The shooting prompting a massive police response.
00:10:30.000 More than 400 law enforcement personnel descending on the campus, including 367 sheriff's deputies.
00:10:37.400 authorities searching and securing the office buildings
00:10:39.640 as thousands of employees evacuated or sheltered in place.
00:10:43.440 Investigators doubt linking the attack to a dispute over a $2,500 debt
00:10:47.760 Pearson allegedly owed Citibank,
00:10:50.380 Chronister revealing that Pearson had no prior criminal record
00:10:53.160 and was married with a 7-year-old child,
00:10:55.780 his wife cooperating with investigators
00:10:57.600 as detectives continue examining the circumstances surrounding the attack.

00:12:35.080 Three convicted murderers scheduled to be executed in three different states yesterday,
00:12:40.000 marking just the second time this year that the U.S. has planned three executions on the same day.
00:12:45.520 Lethal injections scheduled in Indiana, Florida, and Alabama,
00:12:48.580 as renewed scrutiny surrounds the death penalty following a botched execution in Tennessee earlier this fall.
00:12:55.180 In Indiana, 50-year-old Jeffrey Weishite executed for the murders of his girlfriend's two young children in 2010,
00:13:02.220 Weishite admitting to setting fire to the family's home near Evansville,
00:13:05.740 killing the 8-year-old and 5-year-old children inside.
00:13:08.960 According to the Associated Press, Weishite pronounced dead at 1245 Thursday morning at the Indiana State Prison,
00:13:15.060 becoming the first person executed in the state this year.
00:13:18.580 His attorneys unsuccessfully seeking to delay the execution,
00:13:22.220 arguing that a history of head injuries and mental health problems
00:13:24.900 warranted additional medical testing.
00:13:27.700 They also challenged the state's lethal injection drugs,
00:13:30.580 which were purchased from a pharmacy facing disciplinary proceedings before Indiana regulators.
00:13:35.340 Republican Governor Mike Braun rejecting requests for clemency,
00:13:39.120 pointing to the numerous state and federal court reviews that left Wiseheight's death sentence intact.
00:13:43.520 The execution proceeding shortly after midnight,
00:13:45.960 Prison officials reporting that Wiseheight made no final statement.
00:13:49.820 In Florida, 67-year-old Jesse Guardado scheduled to be executed by lethal injection yesterday
00:13:54.500 evening.
00:13:55.540 As of 6 p.m. Eastern Time, no court had intervened to stop the execution.
00:13:59.920 Guardado sentenced to death for the 2004 murder of a 75-year-old woman who had previously
00:14:05.240 helped him secure employment and housing.
00:14:08.120 He confessed to stabbing the woman to death inside her Walton County home before stealing
00:14:12.280 money, jewelry, and other belongings to support his drug addiction.
00:14:15.960 Guardado pleading guilty and receiving a death sentence with subsequent legal challenges failing
00:14:20.380 to overturn his punishment. Guardado's execution set to mark Florida's 19th this year,
00:14:26.080 tying the state record set in 2025. Republican Governor Ron DeSantis overseeing more than half
00:14:31.460 of the executions carried out nationwide this year, defending the pace as an effort to deliver
00:14:36.180 long-awaited justice to victims' families. In Alabama, 54-year-old Michael Taylor also
00:14:41.720 scheduled to be executed by lethal injection yesterday evening. As of 6 p.m. Eastern time,
00:14:47.020 his execution remained scheduled to proceed. Taylor convicted of murdering an older couple
00:14:51.620 during a robbery at their Gadsden home in 1991. Just 19 at the time, Taylor beating both victims
00:14:57.540 to death with a metal bar before fleeing in their Cadillac, police arresting him roughly an hour
00:15:02.820 away in Birmingham, his attorneys unsuccessfully attempting to block the execution over a change
00:15:08.440 in the method used to carry out his sentence. Taylor previously selecting nitrogen gas only
00:15:13.740 for the state to switch to lethal injection after a judge ruled against the planned nitrogen
00:15:18.740 procedure. His legal team objecting to the change, but a judge allowing the execution to proceed.
00:15:24.760 Thursday's execution scheduled less than two months after Tennessee's failed attempt
00:15:28.460 to execute convicted murderer Krista Pike. Pike surviving two doses of lethal injection drugs
00:15:33.960 in September, prompting questions about execution procedures and renewed legal challenges to capital
00:15:39.500 punishment. Wall Street's post-election rally coming to an abrupt end yesterday as stocks
00:15:45.540 plunged across all three major indexes, wiping out Wednesday's gains and marking one of the
00:15:50.920 market's worst trading days since President Trump's sweeping tariff announcement in April
00:15:55.240 2025, the sell-off hitting technology stocks particularly hard as investors reconsidered
00:16:01.080 the future of the artificial intelligence boom following Democrats' massive victories in the
00:16:05.540 midterm elections. According to CNBC, the tech-heavy Nasdaq falling 5.5%, its steepest one-day
00:16:12.620 decline in 19 months. The index now officially in correction territory, meaning it has fallen at
00:16:18.320 least 10% from its previous record high, reached October 6th. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
00:16:23.760 shedding more than 1,800 points, a decline of 3.4%, while the S&P 500 losing 4.4%.
00:16:31.360 All three indexes more than erasing their gains from Wednesday's post-election surge.
00:16:36.220 At the center of the reversal, growing concerns that new restrictions on data centers could
00:16:40.760 slow the massive infrastructure expansion, fueling the AI industry.
00:16:45.200 The election results adding to broader opposition to data center development across the country,
00:16:49.620 raising questions about whether technology companies can continue expanding at their
00:16:53.280 previously anticipated pace.
00:16:55.520 Barry Ritholtz, founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management, discussing the market's sudden
00:16:59.280 change in direction on Bloomberg Podcasts Thursday. We're going through the process
00:17:04.020 of digesting. On the one hand, gridlock is great for stocks. We tend to see a rally
00:17:09.920 following midterm elections. But then as people started to do a little homework,
00:17:16.420 hey, there were over a dozen referendums on various state ballots about restricting
00:17:22.340 data centers and just carving back what's been going on in an AI build out.
00:17:32.080 And so some of this is, hey, this is going to be more complex and more expensive than
00:17:37.240 we originally thought.
00:17:38.400 Maybe we're putting some of our eggs in one basket and we need to be a little more diversified
00:17:45.020 and not so technology, semiconductor, AI heavy
00:17:50.300 because we really have no clarity
00:17:52.200 as to what's going to happen here.
00:17:53.880 The pressure's spreading
00:17:55.220 throughout the semiconductor industry
00:17:57.000 as investors pulled money
00:17:58.300 from companies closely tied to the AI expansion,
00:18:01.580 chip-making giants NVIDIA and Broadcom
00:18:03.680 each falling roughly 8%,
00:18:05.420 while Qualcomm tumbling about 10%
00:18:07.800 despite beating quarterly earnings expectations.
00:18:11.000 Oracle losing approximately 7%
00:18:12.940 as the sell-off extended beyond chip manufacturers to other major technology companies.
00:18:18.460 Meta declining roughly 4%, while Amazon and Google's parent company Alphabet each losing
00:18:22.980 about 2%. Despite yesterday's steep losses, the broader market remaining in positive territory
00:18:28.260 for the year. The S&P 500 still up 7.4% in 2026, the Nasdaq retaining an overall gain of 4.6%.
