Crisis at Disney World
We detail the tragic news from Walt Disney World, where the latest death has been ruled a suicide, marking the third death on property in 10 days. The third person was identified as 28-year-old Matthew Cohn, who died from multiple traumatic injuries after jumping from a height at Disney's Contemporary Resort in Florida. This incident is the second reported suicide at the Contemporary in just over a week, following the death of a 31-year-old woman there on October 14.
Trump on 2028 and VP Theories
In political news, President Donald Trump is not ruling out a third run for president. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Japan on Monday, Trump responded to questions about a potential 2028 bid by saying, "I would love to do it" and that he has his "best numbers ever". He also definitively shut down theories about running as vice president, calling the idea "too cute".
Government Shutdown Stalemate
The government shutdown is now entering day 27, making it the second-longest shutdown in U.S. history. Lawmakers, including Republicans and Democrats, remain at a stalemate on finding a funding solution. The president of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the country's largest union representing over 800,000 federal workers, called on lawmakers to pass a short-term spending bill to end the shutdown immediately. During his remarks, President Trump blamed Democrats for the ongoing shutdown and the resulting air traffic controller shortages. The Senate is scheduled to reconvene on Monday afternoon (October 27).

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the brief on today's major breaking news stories. Okay,
so what's hitting the headlines right now? We're seeing some
really tough stuff, tragic events, a big political talk, and
this government shut down that just keeps going all kind
of breaking right around October twenty seventh, twenty twenty five.
(00:20):
First up, some really sad news coming out of Walt
Disney World down in Florida. TMZ's reporting three deaths there
in just ten days. Yeah, and listen to this. Two
of them have been ruled suicides, both at the contemporary resort.
One was a thirty one year old woman on October fourteenth,
the other a twenty eight year old man Matthew Cone
(00:40):
just today October twenty seventh. Sounds like he jumped. The
third death, a man in his sixties, seems to have
been a medical issue over at Fort Wilderness. Then switching gears,
President Trump, talking on Air Force one heading to Japan,
hinted he might just run again in twenty twenty eight,
said he'd love to do it and that his numbers
are great, but he did shoot down the idea of
(01:02):
running for VP, called that theory too cute. He also
took a swipe at Democrats like Representatives Crockett and Ocasio Cortes,
calling them low IQ. And finally, this government shut down,
well it's hit day twenty seven. That makes it the
second longest ever. The biggest federal workers union, the AFGE,
(01:23):
they represent like eight hundred thousand people. They're pushing hard
for lawmakers to pass a clean continuing resolution now, you know,
just fund the government, get people paid. President Trump, though,
he's blaming the Democrats for the whole mess, including those
air traffic controller shortages, and telling them to vote for funding.
So yeah, a lot going on. You've got tragedy, political games,
(01:44):
and a government standoff, all hitting at once.
