Speaker 2: reversed course or stopped altogether, according to ship movement tracked

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,160

Speaker 1: sturd event was charged with attempting to provide material support

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: to a foreign terrorist organization. Investigators said he told an

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: undercover FBI employee posing as a supportive confidence about his

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: plans to attack people with knives and a hammer. This

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: is the US attorney for Western North Carolina, Russ Ferguson.

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: He started reading ISIS material, started going to ISIS websites

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: making TikTok videos. Worried that Sturdivant might attempt violence before

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, the FBI placed him under constant surveillance

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: for days, including on Christmas. Many of those injured in

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: the deadly fire that engulfed a bar in the swisky

Speaker 1: for their lives as officials started investigating the tragedy. The

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: official death toll remains at forty, but one hundred nineteen

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: others were injured in the blaze. The fire was likely

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: ignited by sparklers held aloft in bottles, which came into

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: contact with foam soundproofing insulation on the ceiling in the

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: bar during the New year receive celebrations. That hypothesis was

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: supported by footage captured on mobile phones showing Litz sparklers

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: in champagne bottles. President Trump is trading threats with Iran

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: as protests continue in cities across that country. The President

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: says the US is ready to come to the rescue

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,560

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: This was a social media post that hit about three

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning where he said the US is

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 3: also quote locked and loaded, you know, if the Iranians

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: used lethal force against some of these protesters. So this

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: is you know, sort of a clear escalation here in Trump,

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: you know, indicating that the US would be willing to

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 3: get involved in yet another foreign conflict, not unlike what

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: we've seen, you know, playing out with some of the

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: saber rattling regarding Venezuela as well.

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Laura Davison reports the head of Iron Security Council

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: responded on x saying US interference would destabilize the whole region.

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: President Trump threatened Iran over its nuclear program earlier in

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: the week trading day of January and in up Friday

57
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: for the S and P five hundred index, but it

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: was a choppy start to the new year. More on

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: that story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: Stock swung between gains and losses as investors began twenty

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: twenty six on cautious footing following a year of strong

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,279
Speaker 4: equity performance. The where we start clashed with the optimistic

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: tone that most strategists struck at the end of twenty

64
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: twenty five, when tech and AI helped power the S

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: and P five hundred to a third year of double

66
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: digit gains. In a holiday shortened trading week, the SMP

Speaker 1: Tesla stock finished down Friday by two and a half

72
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: percent after vehicle delivery numbers that came in worse than expected.

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter deliveries fell eighteen percent to just over four

Speaker 1: Tech anchor at Ludlow.

76
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 5: The fourth quarter delivery numbers aren't just below Bluemberg consensus,

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: they're below the Tesla compiled consensus. Though they made the

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: unusual step of publishing just before New Year's Eve, they

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 5: always compile their own consensus, they just don't publish.

80
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: It it, Bloomberg said. Ludlow reports this now makes Tesla the

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: second best selling ev maker in the world, well behind

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: China's BYD. It boosted sales both for the quarter and

83
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: the full year. Megacap tech companies led a disproportionate share

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: of the US stock markets gains in twenty twenty five.

85
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Their executives also accounted for an outsized share of insider selling,

86
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: as billionaire founders, CEOs, and directors took more than sixteen

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: billion dollars off the table. The largest sale came from

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Amazon's Jeff Bezos, who started offloading stock at the same

89
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: time as his star studied wedding to Laurence Sanchez. His

90
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: eventual sale of twenty five billion Amazon shares netted the

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,120

00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: months as part of a flurry of actions as the

95
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: city's new leader.

96
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 6: The city is not held together by buildings alone. It

97
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 6: is held together by trust and by whether people feel

98
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 6: connected to the decisions that shape their life. That social

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: infrastructure has been neglected for too long. Today that changes.

100
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: The rescinded orders followed former Mayor Eric adams federal corruption

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,320

Speaker 1: including one that reorganizes the city's senior leadership and three

103
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: that concern housing affordability. The Friday numbers on Wall Street,
