Rudy Giuliani is urging current Mayor Zoran Mamdani not to

attend Friday's 9-11 Remembrance Ceremony. Giuliani said in an interview
with Newsmax he's offended Mamdani is going, saying that the
current mayor doesn't agree that September 11th was an Islamic
terrorist attack on the United States of America. A petition

The Menendez brothers' next parole hearing is tentatively set for
March of 2027. Daniel Martindale reports.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That's more than a year earlier than initially expected. Eric
and Lyle Menendez, who are in a San Diego prison
for the shotgun murders of their parents in 1996, had
been eligible to apply for a parole suitability hearing in
August 2028. The California Board of Parole Hearing granted the
earlier date, citing a provision in Proposition 9. In 2025,
the Menendez brothers were resentenced from life to 50 years
(02:34):
to life, automatically making them eligible for parole consideration because
they were younger than 26 at the time of the murders.

A Lancet study estimates that 45% of dementia cases can
be prevented or delayed. Although aging and genetics are risk
factors for declining cognitive health, brain experts say they don't
have to predict your future. Researchers say the key to
improved brain health is addressing modifiable risk factors like smoking,
excessive alcohol use, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and high
(03:04):
LDL cholesterol. The goal is to keep your heart healthy
because experts emphasize that there's a connection between a healthy
heart and a healthy brain. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wong believes
AI has reached a new threshold of thinking power. That
story from Monica Nelson.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
He claimed in an online post Sunday that OpenAI's newest
chat GPT model operating on NVIDIA chips has achieved AGI,
which stands for Artificial General Intelligence. It indicates the software
can handle most of the thinking a regular person can.
Although OpenAI has not indicated its latest model has reached
that level of operating power, the GPT-6 Astra has shown
(03:41):
state-of-the-art performance using NVIDIA's new chip boxes, which have increased
in size from 8 chips on a board to 72
chip boxes. I'm Monica Nelson.

Spider-Man Brand New Day is still number one at the
domestic box office for the sixth straight weekend. It earned
