00:04:40.100But I like that they continue to fight.
00:04:42.000Because as long as they do, they can't win elections.1.00
00:04:44.100They're a bunch of dumb son of a bitches.1.00
00:04:47.040They voted in favor of the worst inflation and the highest energy costs in American history.1.00
00:04:52.460now. The communists want to do even worse. On election night, Ohio is going to prove
00:04:59.020that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it.
00:05:06.700White House officials saying the president plans to campaign in at least 17 states before
00:05:11.020election day. Mr. Trump beginning his stretch last week, hitting Texas and Oklahoma on Thursday,
00:05:16.780than Alabama on Friday. All red states. The president Saturday stumping in Ohio for U.S.0.63
00:05:23.620Senator John Husted and Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Husted's Senate race
00:05:30.020becoming a worry for Republicans, his past support for data centers drawing criticism among Ohioans,
00:05:36.560with a GOP memo flagging it as a liability, according to NBC. This week alone, a Senate
00:05:41.980Republican Super PAC pouring another $14 million into the race, bringing its total investment in
00:05:47.760Ohio past $90 million, the outlet reports. Husted running against Sherrod Brown. Prediction

00:06:19.880uphill battle in November. The president's approval rating is sliding. According to the
00:06:24.760RealClearPolitics polling average, Mr. Trump's approval sitting at just 38 percent. A recent
00:06:30.800Quinnipiac University poll finding 51 percent of registered voters want Democrats to control the
00:06:37.180House if the election were held today, compared to 39 percent who want Republicans in charge.
00:06:43.480That same poll finding 65 percent of respondents disapprove of the president's handling of the
00:06:48.680economy, 62 percent disapprove of his foreign policy. It's not just rallies the president
00:06:54.760is using to campaign. Here, Mr. Trump making a big promise from the Oval Office in a video
00:07:00.040posted to X on Saturday. If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate,
00:07:05.760I'm going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000 and Republicans can do it and Democrats can't because we're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs and record setting economic success.
00:07:24.240but Democrat policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, the opposite is going to take place.
00:07:32.380They're going to raise your taxes and they're going to destroy our country and certainly destroy
00:07:38.780our economy. It'll be a 1929 disaster if they get in. So if the Democrats win, you will have
00:07:46.780an economic depression, much like 1929, if the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in
00:07:56.460your pocket and economic success for our country like we have never, ever seen before.
00:08:04.460President Trump heading to Nebraska today, followed by another Texas stop on Wednesday
00:08:10.200later this week. Days after Tennessee's second botched execution this year, the head of the
00:08:17.860state's prison system is stepping down. Governor Bill Lee announcing Saturday Tennessee Department
00:08:23.200of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada will leave his post later this month. In a statement,
00:08:28.740the governor saying, quote, Commissioner Strada has served with integrity and I appreciate his
00:08:33.320willingness to put the interests of Tennesseans first during this difficult moment. I have accepted
00:08:38.420his decision to step down and am grateful for his commitment to ensuring a smooth leadership
00:08:43.320transition. The governor's office telling various outlets former U.S. attorney Ed Stanton will lead
00:08:49.180an independent investigation into the execution. Commissioner Strada facing bipartisan calls to
00:08:55.380resign since Wednesday's failed execution of Krista Pike, who survived not one but two doses
00:09:01.700of the lethal drug pentobarbital. According to court documents filed on Friday, Ms. Pike,
00:09:07.760remaining in a Nashville hospital intubated on a ventilator and unconscious. Upon arrival,0.69
00:09:14.100both of Pike's arms were visibly swollen, burned, and blistered. Strada giving some parting words
00:09:20.340in a statement, writing in part, quote, stepping aside is in the best interest of Tennesseans as
00:09:25.180the independent review moves forward. I believe this review is entirely appropriate and necessary,
00:09:30.600and I look forward to doing everything I can to help determine exactly what occurred.
00:09:35.460One of Pike's attorneys, Stephen Farrell,
00:09:37.960telling CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday's State of the Union
00:09:40.980her condition has not changed since the botched execution.
00:09:45.100She's still in the hospital, on a ventilator, critically ill.
00:09:49.300We don't really know the prognosis yet and may not know for several days.
00:09:54.120Was she ever conscious after this? Has she been able to say anything?
00:12:01.700The people who placed the IV lines who obviously were not able to do it successfully, or to me, obviously, I don't have definitive answers on what happened.
00:12:12.700But that caused the drugs to not effectively circulate, and that's probably why Krista Pike survived.
00:12:20.980But the state of Tennessee had assured us that these were people with decades of experience at setting IV lines.
00:12:29.060U.S. Senator and frontrunner for Tennessee Governor Marsha Blackburn calling Strada's resignation the right thing to do,
00:12:35.160saying she will push for further changes in the department if elected in November in an interview with Fox Nashville.
00:12:42.160Now, you made comments and sent to our station about switching from lethal injection, if you're a governor,
00:12:47.700or two, back to the electric chair as the primary method. That would require legislative action.
00:12:52.820Is it your sense that state lawmakers would go along with that transition?
00:12:56.980State lawmakers were talking with me last night and again today about making some changes. What
00:13:06.540they want to do is to be certain that these executions are going to be carried out and
00:13:14.260that they're going to be done successfully and that you're going to bring an end to these failed
00:13:21.000executions. So looking at the electric chair, looking at what other states are doing with
00:13:28.220lethal injection, Florida has carried out 19 successful executions this year, and they've not
00:13:39.040had failed or botched executions. If this takes a special session to get it done, let's have a
00:13:46.720special session and get this done. This is not the state's first stumble with an execution this year.
00:13:53.160In May 2026, the state calling off the planned execution of Tony Carruthers, who was convicted
00:13:59.360of killing three people in 1994. The medical team failing to find a vein to insert the
00:14:05.840pentobarbital. The governor then granting Carruthers a one-year reprieve while he remains
00:14:11.080on death row. The governor's office saying an interim commissioner will be announced at a later
00:14:15.980date. Coming up, the Coast Guard ending its search for those aboard a medical transport flight off
00:14:22.860the coast of Nantucket after covering thousands of miles. And amid President Trump's push to make
00:14:28.860daylight savings time permanent, he's calling out one senator in his own party for standing in the
00:14:34.780way. Imagine this. You're surrounded by fellow fans sharing wings, drinks, high-fiving random
00:14:48.380strangers. Everyone remembers the game. No one remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few
00:14:53.760days later at 2 a.m. when you wake up with a fever and your throat's on fire. Now what? Urgent care?
00:14:59.080good luck. ER, slammed. Telehealth, maybe, but the pharmacy's closed. That's where a medical
00:15:05.800emergency kit from the wellness company could come in. These are not first aid kits. They
00:15:10.860contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions, sinus and ear infections,
00:15:16.760UTIs, stomach bugs, traveler's diarrhea, and more on hand before you need them. Use your doctor
00:15:23.120developed guidebook to select the right prescription or call their telemed doctor
00:15:26.800standing by. It's like an urgent care and drugstore at home. When you are sick, traveling,

00:15:51.760six passengers aboard a medical transport aircraft that went missing off the coast of Nantucket.
00:15:57.340It comes nearly a day after a debris field from the flight was found. During a press conference
00:16:02.760yesterday, officials giving reporters a breakdown of what they know. Here's the Coast Guard's Northeast
00:16:08.020District Commander, Rear Admiral Matt Lake. The Coast Guard's response to this incident
00:16:13.440started approximately 2 a.m. on Saturday when we were notified by the Federal Aviation
00:16:18.180Administration that they had lost contact with the Gulfstream G100 aircraft tail number
00:16:24.840CGRJP. That aircraft had six people on board, four Canadian nationals, and two citizens of Bermuda.
00:16:33.880During the search, Coast Guard crews were successfully able to locate a debris field
00:16:38.040that's been now determined to be associated with the missioning aircraft. Our search remains
00:16:43.500ongoing. Coast Guard crews, along with our partners from the New York National Guard,
00:16:49.740their air rescue wing, along with Massachusetts authorities, have searched approximately 2,840
00:16:55.820square miles over about 53 and a half hours. This is a large and demanding search area. Our crews
00:17:02.320are employing fixed-wing aircraft, helicopter, boats, and cutters to search the area and will
00:17:08.060continue to evaluate all available information as our operation progresses. The Coast Guard saying
00:17:13.380the plane lost contact with the FAA in the early morning hours on Saturday while flying from
00:17:18.580Bermuda to Boston. The underlying medical condition necessitating the flight was not
00:17:23.980specified by officials, citing privacy concerns. Air traffic control audio posted by LiveATC.net
00:17:31.720capturing what sounds like the pilot reporting electrical problems and declaring an emergency
00:17:36.860as the jet neared the coast. Roger, you said you're coming in blind, have you said?
00:17:41.780Okay, you're declaring an emergency or no?
00:17:44.320Okay, you're coming in a little weak, so you're coming, um, I didn't hear what your response
00:17:49.800was if you were declaring an emergency or no.
00:17:52.380No, RB104, Medevac, for direct, Boston.
00:17:58.420Okay, you're declaring an emergency and I missed the last part.
00:18:00.920The debris found about 20 miles off Nantucket in water 80 to 90 feet deep.
00:18:06.020The rear admiral, saying four Canadian citizens and two from Bermuda, were aboard the plane.
00:18:12.940Aviation attorney and former Transportation Department Inspector General Mary Chavo
00:18:17.220calling the debris discovery bad news, telling the Boston Herald planes don't stay afloat for long.
00:18:23.560She says radar data suggests the Gulfstream G100 lost its navigation instruments and dropped from
00:18:29.68024,000 feet to 10,000 feet, possibly signaling a cabin pressure or electrical problem.
00:18:36.020Here's Rear Admiral Lake when asked about potentially finding the plane's black box.
00:18:41.480As part of any follow-up efforts, naturally we would try to, well, there would be efforts to try to find the black box at this point.
00:18:51.020The debris that we've identified at this point, there's no indications that we found a black box.
00:18:57.700But again, it's very difficult because that debris is, you know, extensive.
00:19:02.800The National Transportation Safety Board says it is gathering information but has not said whether it will formally investigate.
00:19:11.940President Trump pressuring the Senate to make daylight savings time permanent, while zeroing in on one specific senator who he says is holding it up.
00:19:21.160The change would mean the time zone currently observed from mid-March to early November
00:19:26.480would stay in effect year-round, with no more falling back in November or springing forward
00:19:32.620in spring. In a Truth Social post Saturday, Mr. Trump accusing Republican Senator Tom Cotton
00:19:38.600of Arkansas of single-handedly blocking the Sunshine Protection Act. Cotton has made clear
00:19:44.900he will stymie and filibuster the bill, which would end the twice-yearly clock change.
00:19:50.460Others also oppose the bill, but they're letting Cotton take the heat as the lead
00:19:54.420blocker for now. The president even giving out Cotton's personal cell phone number,
00:19:59.880urging Arkansans to call him and demand support for the bill. The president writing that golfers,
00:20:05.840tennis players, hunters, and farmers all want more daylight in the evenings to play or work.
00:20:11.600Mr. Trump writing, quote, almost everybody wants the Sunshine Protection Act to pass
00:20:15.660except for Tom Cotton. To the great people of Arkansas, please let your senator know
00:20:20.660it would be a great bipartisan win for the U.S. Senate and for America itself.
00:20:26.600Call Tom on his cell phone and let him know. Speaking with reporters Saturday before leaving
00:20:31.540for Ohio, Mr. Trump doubling down, saying the change would cut crime, reduce car accidents,
00:20:37.900and ease health problems linked to the clock shift. Right now we're sitting out here.
00:20:42.980it's light it's nice if you come down here in in another three weeks it'll be dark it'll be
00:20:50.540who wants it we want our sunlight in the afternoon but more importantly than that
00:20:55.060we don't want to change clocks twice a year it's very expensive it's uh got many problems
00:21:03.620even crime as crazy as it sounds when you have light you have you have much less crime
00:21:09.420so the house voted it more than 80 percent it's been sitting up there and hopefully we can get
00:21:16.400tom cotton to move tom cotton is holding it he shouldn't be holding it it's an issue that people
00:21:22.000want you know what's it the farmers want it you know what's it sports wanted professional sports
00:21:28.620and amateurs that would like to play tennis at night would like to play golf a little bit
00:21:34.380without having to run home after 14 holes it's ridiculous
00:21:39.420Senator Cotton responding to the president on X, writing, quote,
00:21:43.140No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent daylight savings time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter.
00:21:57.160Arkansans don't want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I will always put Arkansas first.
00:22:03.620Senators from northern-tier states object to the bill because, under the change, the sun would not
00:22:08.760rise until nearly 9 a.m. during the dead of winter. Another contingent wants to end the two-time
00:22:15.040clock changing, but wants to lock the clock on standard time instead, meaning more light
00:22:20.920permanently in the morning and an early sunset, which some sleep scientists argue would be more
00:22:26.820consistent with circadian rhythms. This is not the first time Mr. Trump shared a lawmaker's
00:22:32.220phone number publicly. In 2015, while running for president, Mr. Trump reading late Senator
00:22:37.740Lindsey Graham's phone number at a campaign rally after Graham called him a jackass on CBS0.68
00:22:43.060that morning. The House passing a version of the Sunshine Protection Act back in July in a largely
00:22:48.720bipartisan vote, a push to fast-track the bill in the Senate, was blocked. The Senate remaining out
00:22:54.800of session until after the midterms, meaning no vote can happen until they return next month.
