Eight dead, including two kids. Eighteen hurt, four of them firefighters."},{"host":"Bella","text":"This was Wednesday at 132 Flatbush Avenue. The video shows debris flying and a hallway filling with dust in seconds."},{"host":"Brian","text":"The clip is hard to watch. You see people running, then the cloud just swallows the frame."},{"host":"Bella","text":"And the toll is the same one Fox is reporting. This looks like a real collapse, and the city is still investigating why."},{"host":"Brian","text":"What gets me is the two children. A building like that, a normal afternoon, and it's gone."},{"host":"Bella","text":"We'll keep an eye on the cause. Early reports are all over the place, so I'm not repeating any of them yet."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Different world entirely: Reuters says the FBI is claiming North Korean hackers stole more than four hundred million dollars using video images."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Video images? That's the part I want explained. The FBI hasn't put out a full statement we can verify, so treat it as a claim for now."},{"host":"Brian","text":"The idea is they used deepfake-style video to trick someone into moving money. If that's real, it's a whole new level of cyber theft."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Four hundred million is a serious number. But until the FBI names the victim or the method, I'm not treating it as confirmed."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Fair. And speaking of big money and big tech — a Democratic senator reportedly wants a review of whether Nvidia is too big to fail."},{"host":"Bella","text":"That's a phrase we used to save for banks. Now it's a chip company."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Nvidia's market value is enormous, and it's the backbone of the AI boom. But we couldn't confirm which senator is pushing this."},{"host":"Bella","text":"The bigger story is the pressure on Jensen Huang. Politico says Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott wants Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify next month about a possible Chinese spy connection."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's a huge deal if it's true. The CEO of Nvidia and a cabinet secretary, both called before Congress over a spy scandal."},{"host":"Bella","text":"But again — unverified. Politico's reporting it, but we haven't seen the official letter or confirmation from Scott's office."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Still, the fact that it's even being floated tells you how tense the Nvidia-China situation has gotten."},{"host":"Bella","text":"And it's not just Washington. On X, people are furious. One post says billionaires messing with elections need to be charged and in prison."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's a leap. We don't have any confirmed election interference by billionaires. It's anger, not evidence."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Right. But the anger is real, and it's aimed at the same people who are now being asked to testify."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Let's talk about the Middle East, because there's a Bluesky post from a military analyst saying the midterms might be the most consequential in a century for foreign policy."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Phillips O'Brien posted that the whole U.S. position in the Middle East is on the cusp of transformation. That's a big claim, but it's an opinion, not a fact."},{"host":"Brian","text":"He's right that elections matter. But calling these the most consequential in a century? I'd push back. There have been other midterms that shaped wars."},{"host":"Bella","text":"But look at what's happening right now. Israel's security cabinet reportedly ordered the IDF to prepare for a possible Iran strike. A tanker hit by a mine in the Strait of Hormuz. Houthi missiles downed over Makkah."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Those are unverified reports from a daily situation thread. We can't confirm any of them yet."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Agreed. But if even half of that is true, the region is closer to a wider war than it's been in years."},{"host":"Brian","text":"And that's exactly why O'Brien's point matters. Whoever controls Congress next year will be voting on how America responds."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Here's the thing I keep coming back to: the U.S. has fifty thousand troops in the Middle East, and we're hearing about possible strikes on American bases from Tehran."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Let's end on something lighter. A Bluesky post about Zelda being 'extremely English' because everyone's scared of a guy who's from the Middle East and looks like anti-Irish propaganda."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's a very specific joke. I think they're talking about Ganondorf."},{"host":"Bella","text":"The Legend of Zelda villain. Big, green, menacing. The post is riffing on how English the series feels."},{"host":"Brian","text":"It's a niche joke, but it made me laugh. Sometimes the internet just nails a weird observation."},{"host":"Bella","text":"That's the show for this hour. We'll be back with more after the break."}]}
