2 roulette wheel online Savion Williams rushed for two touchdowns and Josh Hoover threw for 252 yards as TCU pulled away from Arizona in the second half, winning 49-28 on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas. The Horned Frogs (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) scored touchdowns on five consecutive possessions, starting late in the first half after the Wildcats (4-7, 2-6) pulled within 14-13. Williams carried nine times for 80 yards, scoring on runs of 1 and 20 yards in the first half. Hoover completed 19 of 26 passes, with one touchdown and one interception, before being pulled midway through the fourth quarter when the Frogs were up by 21. TCU took control after leading 21-13 at halftime, going up 35-13 on a 38-yard reception to JP Richardson midway through the third. Arizona kept its hopes alive, ending a 15-play, 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Chris Hunter on fourth down on the first play of the fourth quarter. The two-point conversion made it 35-21. But the Horned Frogs responded with another TD drive, capped by a 6-yard run by Cam Cook for a 42-21 advantage. Arizona added a 70-yard fumble return touchdown with one minute to go for the game's final score. Tetairoa McMillan caught nine passes for 115 yards to become the Arizona career leader in receiving yardage with 3,355. He surpassed his receivers coach, Bobby Wade (3,351), at the top spot. The Wildcats' Noah Fifita completed 29 of 44 passes for 284 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, which happened on the game's first snap. TCU promptly scored on a 4-yard run by Trent Battle, and Williams added a 1-yard TD run late in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead. But the Wildcats fought back, getting a 17-yard touchdown reception by Hunter and field goals of 53 and 43 yards from Tyler Loop to climb within 14-13 with 1:55 go before halftime. That's almost how the half ended, but the Horned Frogs converted third-and-18 on the ensuing drive and then gained 24 yards on third-and-25 to the Arizona 20. That set up a 20-yard run by Williams on fourth-and-1 with 13 seconds left for a 21-13 lead. --Field Level MediaSANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — De'Vondre Campbell's decision to quit on his team in the middle of a game overshadowed the bigger issues for the San Francisco 49ers. An offense that was one of the most dynamic in the NFL during a run to the Super Bowl last season has been just ordinary for most of 2024 and was downright bad in a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night that just about ended San Francisco's playoff hopes. San Francisco (6-8) was held to its fewest yards (191) in a regular-season game in eight seasons under coach Kyle Shanahan and its fewest points since Shanahan's debut in 2017 on a rainy night that will be remembered mostly for Campbell walking off the field in the middle of the game with a towel draped over his head. The game also featured San Francisco going three-and-out on four drives as Brock Purdy struggled to connect with his receivers. Deebo Samuel dropped a potential touchdown pass after complaining earlier in the week about a lack of touches. Purdy then missed Ricky Pearsall on an underthrown deep shot in the fourth quarter before throwing an interception into the end zone that ended the Niners' comeback attempt. “I just feel like I had a lot of plays left out there that I could have made for our team,” Purdy said. “I thought the defense and special teams played so good. That’s what’s hurting me is I just feel like I failed the team. I could have been better for our offense and we could have put up more points.” Scoring has been an issue this season for the 49ers, who have been missing key playmakers like Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk for much of the season. San Francisco is scoring 8.5 fewer points per game on offense than the Niners did through 14 games last season. What’s working Red-zone defense. After allowing touchdowns on 13 consecutive red-zone drives over the previous four games, the 49ers kept the Rams out of the end zone on all three drives that went inside the 20. What needs help Receivers. The 49ers failed to get much production from their wide receivers with Purdy going 6 for 20 for 63 yards with an INT and a 19.4 rating when targeting wideouts. Samuel had 16 yards on seven targets with the key drop. Jauan Jennings had two drops and was the target on the interception. Pearsall had one catch for 16 yards on four targets. Stock up LB Dre Greenlaw returned for the first time since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season's Super Bowl. Greenlaw had eight tackles in the first half as he brought needed intensity and physical play that had been missing for much of the season. Stock down Campbell. The 49ers are deciding whether to waive or suspend Campbell, who lost his starting job when Greenlaw returned and then refused to play when he was needed. “His actions from the game just is not something you can do to your team or your teammates and still expect to be a part of our team,” Shanahan said. “We’re working through exactly the semantics of it right now, but we’ll handle the situation appropriately.” Injuries Greenlaw came out of the game feeling OK after leaving with soreness in his knee and Achilles tendon. He is day to day. ... S Ji’Ayir Brown (groin) and LB Dee Winters (neck) are also day to day. ... LT Trent Williams (ankle) is still trying to get back to play after missing the last four games. Shanahan said Williams' recovery has been "a lot slower than anticipated.” Key number 0 — The Niners didn't reach the red zone once all game, with their deepest penetration into Rams territory being when they reached the 27 on a third-quarter field goal drive. This marked the first time since Week 11 in 2010 that the 49ers didn't run a single play inside the opponent's 25. What’s next The 49ers visit Miami on Dec. 22. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Josh Dubow, The Associated Press

Tangent Rival Nvidia’s shares rose by 3.7% on Wednesday, despite analysts suggesting Marvell poses a threat in the AI market. Bank of America analyst Justin Post said in a note Amazon spent more than $20 billion on Nvidia’s chips, compared to between $1 billion and $2 billion on Marvell’s. Nvidia is working in partnership with AWS on Project Ceiba, a supercomputer for AI programs that includes more than 20,000 of Nvidia’s Blackwell graphics processing units.

Amazon, which designs its in-house chips in partnership with Marvell, has relied on both Nvidia, Marvell and other companies to develop its AI products. Marvell has reportedly been approached by companies like Amazon, Google and Microsoft to provide custom AI chips as an alternative to Nvidia, whose products have dominated the market. Reuters reported Marvell’s chief executive Matt Murphy was contacted by Intel to potentially become the chipmaker’s next CEO, after CEO Pat Gelsinger’s resignation. Murphy—who was appointed as Marvell’s CEO in June—appeared to decline the offer, telling analysts on Tuesday he was “100% focused” on Marvell’s growth. Further Reading

As artificial intelligence (AI) companies, creatives, and copyright holders clash, Canada’s has teamed up with another early-stage music technology startup to build what it says will be a “completely legal and licensed” AI song generator. The company has partnered with India-based to develop the new service, which will combine Musical AI’s rights management platform with Beatoven.ai’s AI song generation software. They say the AI song generation model, which they plan to launch in the second half of 2025, will be trained on over three million songs, loops, samples, and sounds—all with permission from and compensation for rights holders. AI has : this partnership comes amid . Many musicians have against more predatory applications of AI to music, while others have the technology as a tool for supporting their work. Meanwhile, some of the companies powering the creation of AI songs have from record labels alleging that they have scraped copyrighted songs to train their models without consent. “Generative AI is already playing a significant role in music creation,” Musical AI co-founder and CEO Sean Power told BetaKit over email. “Rather than fighting it, we believe that it’s important to lead by example in creating tools that honour artists’ contributions and compensate them fairly.” Beatoven.ai is among the growing group of AI companies that help users generate full songs based on text, audio, and video prompts. It has gathered traction as a tool for making royalty-free background music for videos, podcasts, audiobooks, games, and other uses: Beatoven.ai claims it has helped over 1.5 million users create more than six million tracks to date. It claims to provide musicians with “equitable compensation” for contributing their music. Enter Musical AI. Founded by Power and two other musicians with experience in tech—COO Matt Adell and CTO Nicolas Gonzalez—the startup has built rights management, licensing, and attribution tech for AI music. “Our aim was to develop a system where rights holders could securely license their music for AI training with proper attribution and compensation, and where AI companies could access high-quality data ethically and legally,” Power said. “We launched Musical AI in late 2023 after recognizing the tension between advancements in AI-generated music and the rights of musicians and record labels,” Power said. “While lawsuits against AI companies for using copyrighted music without consent were a factor (and it was obvious they were coming), our decision was largely driven by a deeper understanding of the need for a collaborative solution.” Musical AI’s software helps intellectual property (IP) holders like musicians and record labels get paid for licensing their musical data to generative AI companies. The startup aims to offer music rights holders access to new revenue streams and help them retain control over how their IP is used, while also protecting AI companies and their clients from lawsuits. Musical AI already has agreements with rights holders like Symphonic and Kanjian. To date, Musical AI has secured $1.3 million USD in equity funding as part of a pre-seed round led by Halifax’s Builder Ventures that it plans to fully close by early 2025. The round saw support from a group of angels including British musician Tommy Danvers of Ministry of Sound and Right Said Fred. The startup intends to raise seed financing during the first quarter of 2025. “We believe with this partnership, we will set the way forward for how business models need to be built in AI with the rightsholders being compensated for the data the models are trained on,” Beatoven.ai founder and CEO Mansoor Rahimat Khan said in a statement. “We have historically been adopting this model in direct partnerships with independent artists and by joining hands with Musical AI we will build a sustainable revenue-sharing model using their attribution technology.” Though this partnership with Beatoven.ai, Musical AI will provide data licensing, attribution of generated outputs, and payments to rights holders, who the company said will receive “an appropriate share” of the model’s revenue based on usage, likening it to how they are paid when music is streamed on a commercial service. This AI song generation model will be trained on the existing rights holder catalogues of Musical AI. “As musicians ourselves, we view AI as a valuable addition to the industry—one that opens up new possibilities without diminishing the role of the human at the centre of the creative process,” Power said. “It’s crucial to us that AI models respect and acknowledge the contributions of human creators, which is why proper rights management and attribution are at the core of what we do.” Power said it is up to artists and listeners to shape the future of music and AI. “Whether AI is used as tools to help song creation, or to generate background music for content, or even to create entire songs without human input—consumer preferences will drive these developments,” he said. Musical AI hopes to ensure that it is “used in a way that benefits everyone.”

There are a few misconceptions that First, he’s fine with his place in the NBA “I don’t know if y’all noticed, but last year I didn’t look really engaged, or not a lot of energy ... with other teams, because I was playing on one leg,” Brown said after at the team’s practice facility Saturday. “I want that to be addressed. I know a lot of fans didn’t think I played with a lot of energy and I didn’t want to be here — that’s on social media — but I do want to be here, I do want to play with these guys. It’s a great bunch of guys, great coaches, great organization.” Second, he reiterates that the Brown who struggled through half of last season with the Raptors — after — was a shell of himself. Despite 2-12 start, the young team has kept a positive atmosphere, understanding where they are in the development stage. Despite 2-12 start, the young team has kept a positive atmosphere, understanding where they are in the development stage. “I was literally playing on one leg,” he said. “It was tough for me mentally. I couldn’t move the way I wanted, play defence the way I wanted to, so it was tough.” Oh, and he’s ready to make an impact — as soon as Sunday night, when the Raptors begin a four-game road trip in Cleveland against the Cavaliers. “Just wait and see,” he cautioned. “I’m ready to hoop.” Brown took care of his physical issues with late-summer surgery to clean up a problem with his right knee. He tried to rehab it with rest and treatment in the off-season, but it didn’t get better. When the same pain and mobility issues resurfaced in September, it was time for the surgeon’s knife. It kept the 28-year-old NBA veteran out of Toronto’s first 16 games, but he’s ready now. And the Raptors are ready to use him. “I’m a big fan of Bruce,” “(A) couple years ago, I was studying the best cutters in the league and Bruce was on the top of that list — just the way he cuts, his offensive IQ, defensive disruption, active hands. “I think there is a lot of that he can bring to the team when he’s fully healthy, and when he’s right.” Who would you rather be: the team paying a mercurial and injury-plagued Embiid $193 million and Paul George another $154 million, or these Raptors? Who would you rather be: the team paying a mercurial and injury-plagued Embiid $193 million and Paul George another $154 million, or these Raptors? Brown would seem to possess the attributes the Raptors want. He’s a good off-the-ball scoring threat, a career 34 per cent shooter from three-point distance and a versatile defender able to guard several positions. Most important? He knows how to fill a complementary role after spending the 2022-23 season working off “Since I got in the league I’ve played with all-NBA guys every year, so I’m pretty much playing off them,” he said. “Went to Denver, an elite offence playing with Nikola Jokic, just learning different ways to score without the ball. Because everyone likes to score and I’m playing with all-NBA guys, so I’m not going to have the ball in my hands much.” Brown’s biggest contribution so far this season has been off the court. He gifted everyone in the organization with a pair of cowboy boots — it goes with his Cowboy Bruce persona — and said he “just wanted to give them something and welcome them into my world a little bit.” Somehow, he convinced to don a cowboy hat on the bench when both were injured. From merchandise giveaways to jackpots, no Raptors promotion has been more popular — and divisive — than Pizza Pizza’s Score a Slice. From merchandise giveaways to jackpots, no Raptors promotion has been more popular — and divisive — than Pizza Pizza’s Score a Slice. Barnes, according to Brown, has some work to do on the look. “Bad hat — it was not a good hat,” Brown said. “Everything else was pretty fine. I corrected a little thing — the belt has to match the boots and all that — but the hat was not good.”President-elect Donald Trump on Friday said he will nominate prominent investor Scott Bessent as US Treasury secretary, ending days of twists that saw high profile candidates pitted against each other for the cabinet position with vast influence over economic, regulatory and international affairs. Wall Street has been closely watching who Trump would choose , especially given his plans to remake global trade through tariffs and extend and potentially expand the raft of tax cuts enacted during his first term. The choice of Bessent, who has spent his career in finance, gives Wall Street an advocate for tax reform and deregulation. Some strategists said his nomination was a relief as he understands markets and his appointment could reduce the chance of severe tariffs . The announcement – the most prominent of a flurry of Friday night appointments by Trump – caps a week where big name Wall Street luminaries’ chance at the job oscillated on a daily basis. Other names that had been considered included Apollo Global Management Chief Executive Marc Rowan and former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh. Investor John Paulson had also been a leading candidate, but dropped out , while Wall Street veteran Howard Lutnick, another contender, was appointed as head of the Commerce Department. The choice came after days of deliberations by Trump as he sorted through a shifting list of candidates. Bessent spent day after day at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida providing economic advice, sources said, a proximity to the president-elect that may have helped him prevail. “Scott is widely respected as one of the world’s foremost international investors and geopolitical and economic strategists,” said Trump as he announced the nomination in a statement released on Truth Social. Bessent, from South Carolina, has spent his career in finance, working for macro investment billionaire George Soros and noted short seller Jim Chanos, as well as running his own hedge fund. As a money manager, he made a large bet on Trump winning after spotting what he called an anomaly in the market – that political and market analysts were too negative on what a Trump victory would mean. Bessent, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has advocated for tax reform and deregulation, particularly to spur more bank lending and energy production, as noted in a recent opinion piece he wrote for The Wall Street Journal. The market’s surge after Trump’s election victory, he wrote, signaled investor expectations of “higher growth, lower volatility and inflation, and a revitalized economy for all Americans.” “Bessent has been on the side of less aggressive tariffs,” said Oxford Economics’ Ryan Sweet, adding that picking him makes the steep tariffs Trump proposed on the campaign trail less likely. Bessent follows other financial luminaries who have taken the job, including former Goldman Sachs executives Robert Rubin, Hank Paulson and Steven Mnuchin, Trump’s first Treasury chief. Janet Yellen, the current secretary and first woman in the job, previously chaired the Federal Reserve and White House Council of Economic Advisers. As Treasury secretary, Bessent will essentially be the highest-ranking U.S. economic official, responsible for maintaining the plumbing of the world’s largest economy, from collecting taxes and paying the nation’s bills to managing the $28.6-trillion Treasury debt market and overseeing financial regulation, including handling and preventing market crises. The Treasury boss also runs US financial sanctions policy, has influence over the US-led International Monetary Fund, World Bank and other international financial institutions, and manages national security screenings of foreign investments in the United States. Bessent will face challenges, including safely managing federal deficits that are forecast to grow by nearly $8 trillion over a decade due to Trump’s plans to extend expiring tax cuts next year and add generous new breaks, including ending taxes on Social Security income. Without offsetting revenues, this new debt would add to an unsustainable fiscal trajectory already forecast to balloon US debt by $22 trillion through 2033. Managing debt increases this large without market indigestion will be a challenge, though Bessent has argued Trump’s agenda will unleash stronger economic growth that will grow revenue and shore up market confidence, opens new tab. Bessent will also inherit the role carved out by Yellen to lead the Group of Seven wealthy democracies in providing tens of billions of dollars in economic support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion and tightening sanctions on Moscow. But it is unclear whether he will pursue this, given Trump’s desire to end the war quickly and withdraw US financial support for Ukraine. Another area where Bessent will likely differ from Yellen is her focus on climate change, from her mandate that development banks expand lending for clean energy to incorporating climate risks into financial regulations and managing hundreds of billions of dollars in clean-energy tax credits. Trump, a climate-change skeptic, has vowed to increase production of US fossil fuel energy and end the clean-energy subsidies in President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The Treasury secretary is also the administration’s closest point of contact with the Federal Reserve. Both Yellen under Biden and Mnuchin under Trump typically met weekly with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, often over breakfast or lunch. Bessent has floated the idea of creating a “shadow” Fed chair. This would entail nominating as early as possible a presumptive Powell successor to the Fed Board who would then deliver their own policy guidance so that, as Bessent told Barron’s last month, “no one is really going to care what Jerome Powell has to say anymore.” Bessent has since said he no longer thinks the idea of a shadow chair is worth pursuing, the Wall Street Journal reported. Powell’s term as Fed chair expires in May 2026. Bessent, along with John Paulson, had been an early favorite for job earlier in the year according to a Reuters report at the time and seemed to be in pole position a week after election day, on Nov. 12, when Paulson exited the race citing “complex financial obligations”. However, there were many twists in the race for the top position. On 13 November, banker Howard Lutnick, who was leading a transition team to vet personnel and draft policy, emerged as a top contender. Lutnick, however, was taken out of the running after Trump nominated him to lead his trade and tariff strategy as head of the Commerce Department. The pool of candidates then widened when Rowan, and former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh were under consideration as well as Republican US Senator Bill Hagerty, sources with knowledge of the transition process said at the time.

Cavaliers vs. Raptors Injury Report Today – November 24OCILLA – It’s been an arduous year for Georgia pecan growers. Back-to-back hurricanes hit the eastern part of the state, while the southwestern sector grappled with weather extremes. All growers faced historic highs for input costs and lows for market prices. The looming presidential change and the tariff proposals that come with it add uncertainty, especially as Chinese tariffs continue to affect the pecan market. As harvesting wraps up, Lenny Wells, a University of Georgia pecan extension specialist, said this year was a “weird season,” one that was split right down the middle of the state. In the east, farmers sifted through fallen trees and branches. In the west, they sorted through a somewhat large pecan crop yield but were stumped by poorer quality nuts. Wells said about 75% of Georgia’s eastern pecan crop – about 36 million pounds – was lost to Hurricane Helene. Mary Bruorton, the executive director of the Georgia Pecan Growers Association, said direct tree loss from the storm adds up to about $118 million and future income loss of about $417 million. “It’s hard to put into words what the loss truly is,” she said. “I’ve never seen anything like this.” Less than two months after Tropical Storm Debby, Hurricane Helene slammed into Georgia pecan farms. Wells said there is little farmers can do to prepare for a hurricane aside from turning irrigation off a few days before. “For most growers, it’s kind of a feeling of surrender when you see a storm coming,” he said. The tree branches in Scot Hudson’s orchards, spread across Irwin, Ben Hill, Wilcox and Dodge counties, drooped with thickly clustered pecans – a promising sight – in the days leading up to the storm. However, Helene destroyed all hopes of a profitable season. The fifth-generation farmer said he felt helpless as Helene tore through his orchards, resulting in the loss of about 30% of his larger, older pecan trees. Younger, smaller trees fared better with only about a 5-10% loss. “The weather that's hitting us is making me scared that I’m going to be the generation that loses the farm,” Hudson said. In response to the devastation, the Growers Association has been advocating for disaster relief and financial aid, including specialty crop block grants. After Hurricane Michael, the USDA allocated $800 million to affected producers, and the Georgia Department of Agriculture provided $347 million. “We are working, advocating and lobbying for our growers and talking with Congressional offices daily regarding disaster relief,” Bruorton said. In southwest Georgia, pecan harvest season is a different picture but still yielding disappointing results. Tim Sikes farms 165 acres of pecans in Dawson. He lost 500 trees during Hurricane Michael and said a direct hit from Hurricane Helene would have pushed him out of the pecan industry. Sikes wrote in an email that this year was a challenge “just like every other year.” “But something has been just a little off this year for farming, and I can’t put my finger on just what it is,” Sikes wrote. He chalked it up to failed pollination from weather extremes. April was unseasonably cold and wet, much to the dismay of sun-loving pecan trees. June saw less than a half-inch of rain in its first 25 days, and then Tropical Storm Debby drenched the region in August. Still, Sikes wrote that the pecan crop looked promising all year until the end, when poor quality began to reveal itself. Alex Willson of Sunnyland Farms in Albany saw the same issue in his crop. His trees were packed with nuts by early summer, but cracking open the kernel in fall revealed meat that was 3% less full than it should have been. “That doesn’t sound like a lot, but then you start talking about over hundreds or thousands of acres ... then it starts to make a bit of a difference,” he said. “The higher the meat in the nut, the better price you get for it.” Willson said he was bracing for Helene to be “another Michael.” His farm is still waiting for trees planted after the 2018 storm to become productive. “We dodged this one, but unfortunately, it seems like this is becoming the new norm,” he said. “We're going to really have to think about how we can plan for storms like this.” Beyond the challenges of weather, Georgia’s pecan growers are facing low prices in trying to sell their pecans – a problem exacerbated by tariffs on U.S. exports to China. When Donald Trump takes the presidential office again in January, he’s proposed a 10% across-the-board tariff on all imported goods. “It’s just kind of an uneasiness at the end of the day,” Hudson said. “We’re worried about whether the tariffs ramp up, like the rhetoric’s saying, will their country (China) retaliate?” He said his operation is built on international trade and thrived with the Chinese market. Chinese tariffs, in response to Trump’s 2018 tariffs on imported goods to the U.S., saw his sales slip. Hudson said ultimately it’s out of growers’ control, and he’ll handle the cards he’s dealt. Still, he said he fears for his farm’s future. Higher production costs coupled with low prices mean farmers are struggling to break even. Low sale prices mean farmers are cutting costs everywhere they can. They’re switching to pecan varieties that require less input costs: from fertilizer, irrigation, etc. However, Hudson said cutting input costs risks cutting quality. Sikes turned to newer technologies that helped him cut costs. In 2022, he was the first pecan grower to start using Smart Guided Spray Systems. It uses an advanced mapping system on the trees to tell the fertilizer sprayer exactly how much chemical spray is needed. Sikes said it resulted in about a 45% savings on his chemical costs. Many are diversifying their operations, turning to retail sales, e-commerce or growing other crops as well. Farmers also implement management practices to build up some resistance to storms, which Wells said data show will continue to increase in intensity. Most farmers have adopted hedge pruning, a strategy that reduces the size of the tree, making it less susceptible to high winds. Wells said 10 years of research documented as much as a 60% reduction in damage from more moderate storms. Despite the challenges that come with it, Hudson said there is nothing he’d rather be doing. He said he hopes open dialogue with lawmakers leads to assistance, both at the state and federal level.

By DAVID BAUDER Time magazine gave Donald Trump something it has never done for a Person of the Year designee: a lengthy fact-check of claims he made in an accompanying interview.

Described as a “12 minute read,” it calls into question 15 separate statements that Trump made. It was the second time Trump earned the Time accolade; he also won in 2016, the first year he was elected president. Time editors said it wasn’t a particularly hard choice over other finalists Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu and Kate Middleton. Time said Friday that no other Person of the Year has been fact-checked in the near-century that the magazine has annually written about the figure that has had the greatest impact on the news. But it has done the same for past interviews with the likes of Joe Biden, Netanyahu and Trump. Such corrections have been a sticking point for Trump and his team in the past, most notably when ABC News did it during his only debate with Democrat Kamala Harris this fall. There was no immediate response to a request for comment on Friday. In the piece, Time called into question statements Trump made about border security, autism and the size of a crowd at one of his rallies. When the president-elect talked about the “massive” mandate he had received from voters, Time pointed out that former President Barack Obama won more electoral votes the two times he had run for president. The magazine also questioned Trump’s claim that he would do interviews with anyone who asked during the campaign, if he had the time. The candidate rejected a request to speak to CBS’ “60 Minutes,” the magazine said. “In the final months of his campaign, Trump prioritized interviews with podcasts over mainstream media,” reporters Simmone Shah and Leslie Dickstein wrote.

Henyard, dubbed America's so-called 'worst mayor', lost the Democratic nomination for Thornton Township supervisor on Tuesday night - a position she's held since 2022. The township's Democratic party held an intense caucus meeting in place of a primary election for the first time in three decades after state senator and Henyard's opponent Napoleon Harris chose to do so. The Dalton mayor, dressed in hot pink pants and a black winter coat, was seen yelling at Harris - who holds the right to decide whether a nominee is determined through a primary or caucus - and other political members inside a gymnasium as residents stood behind her. 'Let the people come in. Let them come in. Let the people come to vote,' Henyard shouted, referring to her claims that her supporters were locked out of the event, Abc 7 Chicago reported. Harris then responded: 'You know what, the motion has been second. All in favor of Napoleon Harris being nominated for the April 1st consolidated Thornton Township say aye!' Henyard continued to shout at him as the community quickly joined in on a collective 'aye', stood up and clapped their hands in praise. She continued to stand there appearing to shrug off the township's decision before someone told her: 'Get out of here' as the classic 60s pop song 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye' played in the background. Dalton Mayor Tiffany Henyard was seen having a massive meltdown on Tuesday night after she was voted out of her position as Thornton Township supervisor Just before entering the building for the caucus meeting, Henyard told a reporter she would be 'victorious' and 'they can't beat me' As she exited the caucus meeting, Henyard was bombarded by press and a large group of residents as she continued to throw a fit. Although she declined to talk to reporters after the decision was made, Henyard did speak to WGN's Jenna Barnes before entering the building, claiming she would be 'victorious'. 'They can't beat me. If they could beat me, then they would have went to the polls,' she told the reporter. Henyard remained extremely confident even after she was asked what she would do if she lost the Democratic party's nomination. 'What do you mean? I will be victorious [Tuesday] night. Our people are here. They're not gonna go nowhere,' she said, adding that 'The show will go on.' Many were pleased to get rid of Henyard as the township supervisor as Democratic Thornton Township Trustee Nominee Chris Gonzalez said: 'We want to get the township back on track, back where we feel it should be and the only way we can do that is make a change.' A Thornton Township resident, Deborah Jordan, told the outlet she was 'enthused' about what happened at the meeting. 'I am so enthused about what took place this evening. Just to see everyone so happy and delighted. That does mean change,' Jordan said. A large crowd of residents packed into a gymnasium as many joyfully nominated state Senator Napoleon Harris instead of Henyard Another woman said that Henyard's conduct at the meeting was disrespectful. 'She came late, and then she had an attitude because they couldn't get in,' she told CBS News. Meanwhile, Keith Price, an ally of Henyard, said what happened on Tuesday was 'fraud'. 'This is the biggest --- this is fraud. This is criminal... [We had] hundreds of people that were not allowed in to be part of the process,' he told WGN9 . Price added that the meeting was 'the biggest form of voter suppression I've ever seen in my life.' Some of Henyard's supporters also voiced their opinion on how the night went, as one woman said: 'I think it's unfair I don't get a chance to make a decision on who I want where. I wanted to vote for Tiffany.' In response, Henyard said: 'I will be suing everyone tomorrow. This is illegal. Illegal.' An attorney representing Harris told Abc 7 Chicago the claims that Henyard's supporters were not let in are false, adding that many people arrived early to get a spot in the gym. Henyard has been shrouded in controversy including getting evicted from her home for owing over $3,300 in rent payments. Henyard claims that her supporters were denied entry into the meeting, but an attorney representing Harris said many people arrived early to get a spot in the gym She also threw an $85,000 party for her town in September even though she has been cut off from spending by the state for sinking her town into debt. The event cost about $50,000 in taxpayers' money to cover performances and more than $35,000 on activities, equipment and staff. In August, the Illinois State Comptroller cut off funding to Dolton after Henyard failed to hand over finance reports for the use of about $135,000. Susana Mendoza, the comptroller, threatened to fine the town $78,600 if Henyard does not turn over the reports. The self-proclaimed 'Super Mayor' has a history of absurd spending habits that involve the misuse of the town's funding - plunging the small town $5million in debt. The Democrat was elected in 2021 and is Dolton's first female mayor. Back in October, the unpopular mayor was booed out of a town meeting before suing the other officials for hosting it without her. After arriving at the village board meeting an hour late, Henyard was met with outraged residents, WGN previously reported. Despite the meeting's location being moved to the local park district facilities after Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s Office found Dolton had violated the state’s Open Meetings Act, Henyard tried to hold a separate board meeting at Village Hall, according to WLS. Henyard was served with another lawsuit during a Thornton Township town hall meeting in October - one of many legal filings against her Eventually, she made her way to the park district building and announced that she was vetoing everything the board had already voted on. 'I just want to come here and lay the law down as it relates to what's going on in our village, where we are, and where we're going,' Henyard said. Village trustees voted to address Dolton’s deficit - which is estimated at $2.8 million this year - and approved steps to stop several high-profile vehicle leases. The next day, Henyard was served with another lawsuit during a Thornton Township town hall meeting, reported NBC Chicago. She told the audience 'I get sued all the time,' as the documents were handed over to her. Henyard then filed a lawsuit against several village trustees, the village clerk, administrator and the Dolton Park District over the chaotic meeting, reported Fox 32. Henyard claims that she instructed Village Administrator Keith Freeman to ensure the meeting followed the Attorney General's guidelines, but Freeman refused to communicate.
