"My from NPR news and Washington, 9/4 of a Coleman, President Trump is promis...

all adult Americans $5,000 each if the Republicans keep control of Congress after the midterm

elections.

You made that promise last night at the Republicans' midterm convention in Dallas.

And PR Stephen Fowler says $5,000 for each adult American is about $1 trillion in total." "That money would have to come from somewhere, also known as Congress. It's illegal to offer people money for their vote. Logistically, that amount is about 80% of all discretionary spending the federal government makes each year, which, by the way, the administration is trying to cut spending.

The more obvious obstacle, though, is that public poll show Republicans might lose both the house and the Senate this year." And PR Stephen Fowler, at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas. President Trump will also speak, again, tonight, to close the convention. "Nually released text messages from billionaire Elon Musk show him bragging about using

quote, "lazers from space" to a legged Donald Trump president in 2024. And PR's Bobby Allen reports, this comes as Musk spends millions on November's midterms." "Director Alex Gibney's forthcoming documentary Musk reveals text messages between the tech mogul and his ex actually sank clear a former maga influencer. The messages which NPR has obtained and authenticated are perplexing.

In that, Musk says he is feeling newly confident just before the November presidential election. And he writes it's because he plans to, quote, "unleash the anomaly in the matrix." When press for clarity, Musk writes that he has 10,000 lasers in space. Musk representative declined to comment, but the techs have spurred theories and speculation

about its meaning and Musk's intentions.

Musk has expected to spend a hundred million dollars on key house and senate races in November,

by the Allen and PR news. "The UN's nuclear watchdog agency has reported Iran to the UN Security Council that is for failing to comply with its nuclear safeguard agreements."

And Pierce Hadale L. Shelby reports, "It's the first time this has happened in 20 years."

The International Atomic Energy Agency, our IAEA, said that it referred Iran to the UN Security Council after the country's failure to provide "technically credible answers," regarding uranium traces found at undeclared facilities. The move was first considered in 2025 after Iran was found non-compliant with its non-proliferation obligations.

The IAEA says that Iran is now restricting inspector access and failing to verify stockpiles of near-weapons-grade and rich uranium, following recent U.S. and Israeli strikes in the region. Iran has been retaliating by targeting U.S. assets in the Gulf and Jordan. Iranian officials rejected the move by the IAEA saying it was politically motivated and that its nuclear activities are peaceful.

Hadale L. Shelby and PR news is Dambal. "This is NPR.

A woman who once volunteered to work with Labor leaders, says our Chavez, he is now suing

to non-profits associated with him. The suit claims Chavez sexually assaulted the woman decades ago. The loss it was filed after the New York Times published its investigation earlier this year into other sexual assault allegations against Chavez. Another Labor leader who accused Chavez of sexual assault is the prominently rare activist

Dolores Huerta. Chavez died in 1993. The U.S. military says it's conducted another deadly strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean. U.S. Southern Command says three people suspected of drug trafficking were killed.

Federal safety investigators have released more information about Sunday's cargo plane crash in Miami. One of the pilots warned the jet was coming in too fast. And beer's Joel Rose reports officials have released a summary of the cockpit's voice recording.

"For nearly two minutes, one of the pilots of the Amazon cargo plane warned the other that they were going too fast as they approached the runway in Miami.

The other pilot never gave a "consistent verbal response to the warnings," according

to the National Transportation Safety Board, which released a summary of the cockpit voice recordings. Those recordings also captured a series of automated warnings from the plane, that suggests the descent was not stabilized. The plane touched down awkwardly and then briefly tried to take off again before barreling

past the end of the runway and crashing into two vehicles on the ground. Five people were killed and five more were injured. Joel Rose and PR News, Washington. And I'm Core of a Coleman NPR News from Washington. "I haven't seen my son since 2012."
