President Trump is calling for a group of Democratic lawmakers to be put on trial for sedition now.

Trump was reacting to a video released by those Democrats that told members of the intelligence community and the military to disobey orders that would violate the law.

Later, in a post on truth Social Trump suggested the lawmakers should face the death penalty.

Trump also reposted another user's statement that called for hanging Democrats.

Here, as White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, they are.

Literally saying to one point three million active duty service members not to defy the chain of command.

Every single order that is given to this United States Military by this Commander in Chief and through this chain of command through the Secretary of War is lawful.

We are following the laws.

We don't defy court orders.

We do things by the books.

And to suggest and encourage that active duty service members to by the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do, and they should be held accountable.

And that's what the President wants to see.

That is White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.

President Trump is expanding tariff breaks for Brazilian food products.

Dozens of popular items would be exempted from a forty percent levee imposed on goods from Brazil earlier this year.

Now, this move could help bring down prices for things like coffee, orange juice, and beef at a time of growing US voter dissatisfaction over the cost of living.

In a post this evening on social media, Brazilian President Lula thanked Trump for the tariff relief, but only partially.

We move next to the war in Ukraine.

President Voladimir Zelensky said he has agreed to work on a peace plan drafted by the US and Russia to end this conflict now.

The proposal includes demands for Ukraine to seed territory and for the removal of sanctions on Russia.

Now Ukraine has repeatedly called both unacceptable.

Zelensky is expecting to speak with it and Trump about these proposals.

Here is Mara Rudman, former senior White House security official.

It is essentially the twenty twenty two Russia Plan that it is drafted by the United States and Russia.

So drafted by one of the parties to the conflict and then presented to the other not exactly a prescription for forward movement.

That is Maura Rudman, former senior White House security official.

Now, according to one of our sources, Zelensky did receive signals from the US that he should accept this deal.

Netflix, along with Comcast and Paramount's guidance, have all submitted their bids for all or parts of Warner Brothers Discovery.

The New York Times says these submissions met Warner's Thursday deadline.

Now Paramount is willing to buy all of Warner Brothers in looting it's cable channels like CNN, TNT, and the Cartoon Network.

Verizon is laying off more than thirteen thousand employees, and this will shrink Verizon's non union workforce by as much as twenty percent.

The bulk of the affected employees will be taken off Horizon's payroll by the end of the year.

Here is Bloomberg analyst John Butler, If.

You're cutting thirteen percent of the workforce.

There's a big cost savings there, so you're getting leaner on the expense line, which gives you a little more room on the revenue line to begin to promote more and really step up in match competitors like T Mobile, which continue to be aggressive on price.

And then at the lower end, of course, you've got the cable operators and their wireless brands, and they have been promoting very hard on price in order to drive up their wireless installed base.

That is Bloomberg analyst John Butler.

Now Verizon will make available a twenty million dollar fund to help employees learn new skills that would include retraining for a job market impacted by the rise of artificial intelligence.

In Washington, Amy Moore as Bloomberg.

Radio, negotiations between the Trump administration and Harvard University are close to an end.

The White House had attempted to freeze nearly three billion dollars in federal research grants to Harvard, citing concerns over anti semitism and liberal bias on campus.

Well that prompted the university to sue the Trump administration, arguing that the funding freeze was unconstitutional and that it amounted to an abuse of executive power.
