Speaker 2 (00:08):
A twelve billion dollar aid package for farmers has been
announced by President Trump during a roundtable today at the
White House. He insisted the money wasn't in response to
farmers being hit hard by his tariff policies, but rather
due to the Biden administration's bad policies. The announcement comes
as the Trump administration says it's making affordability its number
one issue, and President Trump is pushing Democrats to join
(00:31):
Republicans and address rising healthcare costs. What I'm going to
do is if the Democrats go along with it, I
want the money to be paid to the people to
go out of buy their own healthcare. Republicans in Congress
have been struggling to secure bipartisan legislation that would head
off the Affordable Care AC subsidies set to expire at
the end of the year about twenty two million Americans.
(00:52):
We'll see a spike in premium costs if that happens.
Trump says he wants a fix of the system instead
of extending ACA subsidies once again. The President says the Democrats'
plan of extending the subsidies only in riches insurance companies.
While Street is closing lower. To start the week, stocks
pulled back as investors await the outcome of the Federal
Reserve's final policy meeting of the year. At the closing bell,
(01:14):
the Dow Jones lost two hundred and fifteen points, the
SFP five hundred dropped twenty four points, and the Nasdaq
fell to twenty three, five hundred and forty five. Over
the weekend, President Trump said he had no problem releasing
the full video of the so called double tap strike
on a suspected drug boat from Venezuela today. He said,
whatever Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wants to do with
(01:35):
regards to the video is okay with him. So every
boat we knock out of the water, every boat we
saved twenty five thousand American lives.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That was a boat loaded up with drugs. I saw
the video. They were trying to turn the boat back
to where it could float.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The controversy began after the Washington Post claim Hegseth ordered
a second strike on the boat, so there were no survivors. Heims,
says Navy Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley showed the strike video
to Lammickerson said there were no orders from Hegseth to
kill all survivors of the first strike. I'm Chris Kratio.
The Trump administration is waving an eleven million dollar fine
against Southwest Airlines. The announcement, made over the weekend, focuses
(02:13):
on a one hundred and forty million dollars settlement over
the carrier's melt down in December of twenty twenty two
during a holiday travel period. Southwest had agreed to a
thirty five million dollar cash fine and to provide ninety
million in travel vouchers to delayed passengers. The Transportation Department,
in a written order waving the fine, cited Southwest decision
to invest over a billion dollars in its operations to
(02:34):
improve performance and reliability. Since the twenty twenty two incident,
Gas prices are down triple A reports Today's National averages

in four years that gas has dipped below three dollars
a gallon California has the most expensive gas at four
(02:56):
forty seven a gallon, while the cheapest is in Oklahoma
at two thirty six accas. The Miami Heats Terry Rozier
has pleaded not guilty to federal charges in his sports

player Damon Jones in October following federal investigations. The Powerball
jackpot is on a roll for the holidays. More now
from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
No one matched all six numbers in Saturday Nights drawing,
so Monday's jackpot is now worth an estimated eight hundred
and seventy five million dollars. Lottery officials say that that
ranks as the seventh biggest in power ball history. The
odds of hitting the jackpot are roughly one in two
hundred and ninety two million. I'm Mark Mayfield.
