The Fort Hood killer's firing squad will be public. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Real America's Voice that when Nidal Hasan, who murdered 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in 2009, faces an Army firing squad on December 3, "we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public, because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things," per CBS News. The Pentagon told the Associated Press the execution will be livestreamed, though it has not said where. Axios notes the last public execution in this country was a hanging in Kentucky in 1936, about 90 years ago. Thirteen dead, 32 wounded, 17 years of appeals. Some will call a public execution barbaric. The families might call it the first time anybody showed them the justice they were promised. Chuck reads the secretary's words, as reported by Breitbart News and CBS News.

Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist who murdered 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in 2009, will be executed by firing squad at Fort Hood on December 3, per CBS News Texas, NBC News and the acting Army secretary's own announcement. President Trump approved the death sentence on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's recommendation, and the Army set the date and the place: the post where he did it. It will be the first execution carried out by the U.S. military since 1961, and the first by firing squad since World War II.

Hispanic voters now favor Republicans for Congress 50% to 42%, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,794 likely voters taken September 24 and 27 to 30, per Rasmussen and Breitbart News. In mid-September the same pollster had Democrats ahead with Hispanic voters 44 to 42; now it is an eight-point Republican edge. Nationally, Democrats still lead the generic ballot 47 to 44, but that lead has shrunk from eight points to three in a few weeks. Breitbart notes Joe Biden won Hispanic voters by 25 points in 2020, and Pew Research found Donald Trump lost them by only three in 2024. Safe streets, a secure border, and a paycheck that goes further. That is not a partisan wish list. That is a family wish list. Chuck reads the numbers, as reported by Breitbart News and The Gateway Pundit.

More than 3.1 million visa-overstay leads. 104,049 of them flagged as possible national security or public safety threats. Fewer than 500 investigations. Eight arrests. Those are the Homeland Security inspector general's own numbers for how ICE handled people who came on a visa and never left from late 2020 through 2024, per the report, Newsweek and DHS's own release. Of the highest-priority group, about 1,800 people, there were 84 investigations and two arrests. The inspector general: "ICE conducted few nonimmigrant overstay lead-initiated investigations and arrested even fewer foreign nationals." Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "The degree of the Biden administration's dereliction of duty, which needlessly put American lives at risk, is staggering and enraging." 104,000 red flags and eight arrests. That is not a border. That is a revolving door with a welcome mat. Chuck reads the report, as reported by Breitbart News and Newsweek.

Steal from Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security and you go to prison, no probation. That is what President Trump asked Congress for in a video posted Saturday, per Newsmax and RSBN: mandatory minimum sentences for benefit fraud, longer the more you steal, doubled for a second conviction. And one more piece: state and local politicians who know about fraud, have the power to stop it and do nothing would be personally liable for what the taxpayers lost. The president: "If you steal from the American people, you will go to prison and for a long period of time. And the more you steal, the longer you'll stay in that prison." He said Congress must make sure "crooked and corrupt politicians who willfully turn a blind eye to fraud finally face real consequences." And he closed with this: "So from now on, fraudsters, we're watching you." That is your parents' Medicare and your Social Security check. Somebody stealing from it ought to do real time. Now let's see if Congress has the spine to pass it. Chuck reads the proposal, as reported by The Gateway Pundit and Newsmax.

Right here in Florida, Attorney General James Uthmeier has sued Pfizer and its CEO, Albert Bourla, personally, under Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, per Bloomberg Law and the Florida Phoenix. The complaint alleges Pfizer told people its COVID vaccine was safe while failing to disclose risks including heart inflammation, and urged people to get the shot to protect others when the company had not tested whether it stopped the virus from spreading. Uthmeier: "Today we sued Pfizer for deceptively marketing the products as safe, making billions." The complaint says Pfizer took in more than $80 billion in vaccine sales and Bourla was paid nearly $102 million from 2020 through 2023. Florida is asking for $10,000 per violation, $15,000 where the victim was a senior or disabled, and Pfizer's profits back. Pfizer says the allegations are without merit and its statements were accurate and science-based. For four years, anybody who asked these questions was called a conspiracy theorist. Now a state attorney general is asking them in a courtroom. Let's see what discovery turns up. Chuck reads the story, as reported by The Gateway Pundit, Yahoo News and Just the News.

Flydubai Flight 1073, Dubai to Tel Aviv, 174 people on board. Israeli officials say the Omani co-pilot stabbed the captain and tried to crash the plane, and it lost thousands of feet in seconds, per the Times of Israel, CNBC and Newsweek. The wounded captain, Smit Machchhar, unlocked the cockpit door before he collapsed. An Israeli passenger with an aviation background, Yaniv Hayun, ran in. His words: "When I walked in, I saw the attacker on the instruments between the two seats. There were no pilots in the seats."

Two airline pilots who happened to be aboard flew the plane to an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, and everyone came home to Ben Gurion Wednesday evening, where Prime Minister Netanyahu saluted the heroes.

The Democratic nominee for Georgia Senate District 47 is going to prison. Justin Gillespie, 41, of Hull, was convicted last week in Madison County Superior Court of cruelty to children and battery, per 92.1 WLHR and the Madison County Journal. The case goes back to February 2021 at the Happy Kids Learning Center in Hull, where he worked: authorities said he hit a five-year-old girl in the lower back with a spatula hard enough to leave a red, raised welt, and the girl told investigators he was angry that she would not take a nap. Gillespie admitted swinging the spatula but said he was on the phone and did not see the child. The judge sentenced him to seven years, two in state prison and the rest on probation. He ran unopposed in the Democratic primary in May and was set to face Republican Sen. Frank Ginn in November. Ask yourself: who in his own party vetted this man? Chuck reads the story, as reported by The Gateway Pundit and 92.1 WLHR.

For 40 years they told us steel was never coming back. On Monday the president announced that Mesabi Metallics will invest about $15 billion in a steel plant in southeast Iowa, with up to 1,750 permanent jobs and about 6,000 construction jobs, per CNBC and CBS News. The first phase is to make about 7.5 million tons of steel a year, ramping to 10 million, with production starting in 2030, and a White House official told CNBC it would be the largest of its kind in U.S. history. The iron ore comes from the company's own mine on Minnesota's Iron Range. The company told CNBC it will be "100% American steel: mined, melted and poured in Minnesota and Iowa." White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers: the president is "delivering on his promise to rebuild American industry, reshore manufacturing, and create new jobs." That is what bringing it home looks like. Chuck reads the announcement, as reported by The Epoch Times and Breitbart News.

Also in today's episode: a study by professors Cameron Ellis of the University of Iowa and Lars Powell of the University of Alabama estimates that spam filtering of Republican fundraising emails last year cost first-time WinRed donations worth about $117 million, more than 142,000 donations, while Google says the study relies on "deeply flawed methodology," per Breitbart News and Voz; a second federal judge this month, P.

France is one of the most secular countries on earth, and on Saturday Paris came to church. Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, celebrated an open-air Mass at the Place de la Concorde with the crowd stretching the length of the Champs-Élysées. The Vatican estimated 800,000 people, about 200,000 more than had registered, per Fox News and the Associated Press. Families held babies up to the popemobile as he passed. And think about where they stood: the Place de la Concorde is where the French Revolution guillotined Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and 1,119 others, the revolution that tried to erase the faith from France. The Pope told the young people, "You are the Church today. How wonderful it is to see your enthusiasm." He went on to Lourdes and spoke against what he called trends that seek to redefine the value of human life. The experts keep telling us faith is dying in the West. 800,000 people in the streets of Paris did not get the memo. Chuck reads the story, as reported by Fox News and the Gateway Pundit.

Also in today's episode: two poo-poo platter items, Joe Biden accepting Planned Parenthood of Delaware's Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award from his wife at the group's Chocolate and Champagne Gala and telling the room "You have no idea how powerful women are in this country. You are about to find out," per Breitbart News and the Catholic Herald, and Christa Pike, set to be executed Wednesday for the 1995 murder of 18-year-old Colleen Slemmer, asking Tennessee for an all-female execution team, which the state says is its goal for her transfer but has not guaranteed, per WREG and Fox 8; the United States and China agree to cut tariffs on $30 billion of goods in each direction and China commits to buy 10 million metric tons of American coal in each of 2027 and 2028, with rare earths still unsettled, per the White House fact sheet via Breitbart News and Axios; the president scraps the Biden-era fuel economy rules that would have required about 50 miles per gallon by 2031, writing that the new standards "terminate sleepy Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg's ridiculous EV mandate," per CNBC and Al Jazeera; Chris LaCivita tells Breitbart's Matthew Boyle the president will campaign for 30 days straight and that "all we have to do is alter the turnout two to three to four points in every congressional district, and we win," with rallies in Durant, Oklahoma Thursday and Mobile, Alabama Friday; NYPD figures cited by the New York Post show prostitution arrests on Queens' Roosevelt Avenue down 59 percent, from 468 to 193, while the Post reports the number of women working the street has multiplied; two former Venezuelan diplomats are arrested at Madrid's airport with 50 kilograms of cocaine, per CiberCuba off El Pitazo and The Objective; and a week-old elephant found hiding in a herd of zebras in Tsavo East last November is growing up at the Sheldrick nursery, named Wangalla for the plains where she was found.
