share revenue from Ukrainian rare earth minerals with the US
in exchange for some form of security guarantees. Though President

a plan which would bring changes to Medicaid, saying it's

to Medicaid would have serious consequences, particularly in rural communities.
The deaths of Academy Award winning actor Gene Hackman and
his wife are rule suspicious. Hackman and his wife of
more than three decades were found dead in their set
off a home Wednesday, but officials said they could have
been deceased for some time. A search AFFIDAVID released Thursday

require a thorough search and investigation. Actor Mel Gibson joined
the effort to wreak Paul California Governor Gavin Newsom over
his handling of the fires in Los Angeles.

Gibson, who lost his home in Malibu, spoke Wednesday in
Alta Dina with the group Saving California. He also lashed
out at La Mayor Bass.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
We deserve much more and much better and there is
absolutely no adequate excuse the governor or mayor can make
for this growth, mismanagement and failure to preemptively deal with
what they knew was coming.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Gibson questioned whether it was incompetence, indifference, or negligence. He
says any federal aid that comes into California should come
with an investigation. I'm Brian Schuck.
