Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise prices, won't rule out revenge prosecutions
Report: UCF HC Gus Malzahn to become Florida State OCThe president-elect, in a wide-ranging interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday, also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning "things do change." Here's a look at some of the issues covered: Trump hems on whether trade penalties could raise prices Trump threatened broad trade penalties, but said he didn't believe economists' predictions that added costs on those imported goods for American companies would lead to higher domestic prices for consumers. He stopped short of a pledge that U.S. an households won't be paying more as they shop. "I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee tomorrow," Trump said, seeming to open the door to accepting the reality of how import levies typically work as goods reach the retail market. That's a different approach from Trump's typical speeches throughout the 2024 campaign, when he framed his election as a sure way to curb inflation. In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying that tariffs are "going to make us rich." He has pledged that, on his first day in office in January, he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada unless those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. He also has threatened tariffs on China to help force that country to crack down on fentanyl production. "All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field," Trump said. Trump suggests retribution for his opponents while claiming no interest in vengeance He offered conflicting statements on how he would approach the justice system after winning election despite being convicted of 34 felonies in a New York state court and being indicted in other cases for his handling of national security secrets and efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. "Honestly, they should go to jail," Trump said of members of Congress who investigated the Capitol riot by his supporters who wanted him to remain in power. The president-elect underscored his contention that he can use the justice system against others, including special prosecutor Jack Smith, who led the case on Trump's role in the siege on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump confirmed his plan to pardon supporters who were convicted for their roles in the riot, saying he would take that action on his first day in office. As for the idea of revenge driving potential prosecutions, Trump said: "I have the absolute right. I'm the chief law enforcement officer, you do know that. I'm the president. But I'm not interested in that." At the same time, Trump singled out lawmakers on a special House committee who investigated the insurrection, citing Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. "Cheney was behind it ... so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee," Trump said. Asked specifically whether he would direct his administration to pursue cases, he said, "No," and suggested he did not expect the FBI to quickly undertake investigations into his political enemies. At another point, Trump said he would leave the matter up to Pam Bondi, his pick as attorney general. "I want her to do what she wants to do," he said. Such threats, regardless of Trump's inconsistencies, have been taken seriously enough by many top Democrats that Biden is considering issuing blanket, preemptive pardons to protect key members of his outgoing administration. Trump did seemingly back off his campaign rhetoric calling for Biden to be investigated, saying, "I'm not looking to go back into the past." Swift action on immigration is coming Trump repeatedly mentioned his promises to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally through a mass deportation program. "I think you have to do it," he said. He suggested he would try to use executive action to end "birthright" citizenship under which people born in the U.S. are considered citizens — though such protections are spelled out in the Constitution. Asked specifically about the future for people who were brought into the country illegally as children and were shielded from deportation in recent years, Trump said, "I want to work something out," indicating he might seek a solution with Congress. But Trump also said he does not "want to be breaking up families" of mixed legal status, "so the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back." Trump commits to NATO, with conditions, and waffles on Putin and Ukraine Long a critic of NATO members for not spending more on their own defense, Trump said he "absolutely" would remain in the alliance "if they pay their bills." Pressed on whether he would withdraw if he were dissatisfied with allies' commitments, Trump said he wants the U.S. treated "fairly" on trade and defense. He waffled on a NATO priority of containing Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Trump suggested Ukraine should prepare for less U.S. aid in its defense against Putin's invasion. "Possibly. Yeah, probably. Sure," Trump said of reducing Ukraine assistance from Washington. Separately, Trump called for an immediate cease-fire. Asked about Putin, Trump said initially that he has not talked to the Russian leader since Election Day last month, but then hedged. "I haven't spoken to him recently," Trump said when pressed, adding that he did not want to "impede the negotiation." Trump says Powell is safe at the Fed, but not Wray at the FBI The president-elect said he has no intention, at least for now, of asking Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to step down before Powell's term ends in 2028. Trump said during the campaign that presidents should have more say in Fed policy, including interest rates. Trump did not offer any job assurances for FBI Director Christopher Wray, whose term is to end in 2027. Asked about Wray, Trump said: "Well, I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious" that if the Senate confirms Kash Patel as Trump's pick for FBI chief, then "he's going to be taking somebody's place, right? Somebody is the man that you're talking about." Trump is absolute about Social Security, not so much on abortion and health insurance Trump promised that the government efficiency effort led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will not threaten Social Security. "We're not touching Social Security, other than we make it more efficient," he said. He added that "we're not raising ages or any of that stuff." He was not so specific about abortion or his long-promised overhaul of the Affordable Care Act. On abortion, Trump continued his inconsistencies and said he would "probably" not move to restrict access to the abortion pills that now account for a majority of pregnancy terminations, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. But pressed on whether he would commit to that position, Trump replied, "Well, I commit. I mean, are — things do — things change. I think they change." Reprising a line from his Sept. 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump again said he had "concepts" of a plan to substitute for the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which he called "lousy health care." He added a promise that any Trump version would maintain insurance protections for Americans with preexisting health conditions. He did not explain how such a design would be different from the status quo or how he could deliver on his desire for "better health care for less money."

Cellectar Biosciences Provides Strategic Update on Clinical Development, Pipeline Programs and Corporate RestructuringNoneAstronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have spotted far ultra violet (FUV) emissions from novae for the first time in the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy. The ultraviolet emissions from novae are a special class of transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently new star that slowly fades over weeks or months, during their outburst. The IIA team used ultraviolet imaging telescope (UVIT/AstroSat) data of the Andromeda galaxy from public archives, to look for FUV emission from novae during their dormancy. AstroSat is India’s first dedicated space astronomy observatory and the UVIT is one of the primary payloads which was developed by IIA. According to the Department of Science and Technology, the team stumbled upon the novae around their eruption phase. It added that the team, consisting of Judhajeet Basu (IIA and Pondicherry University), Krishnendu S. (IIA and Amrita University), Sudhanshu Barway (IIA), Shatakshi Chamoli (IIA and Pondicherry University), and G. C. Anupama (IIA), also discovered ultraviolet emission from 42 novae, a special class of stellar explosions, and even caught four of them in the act of outburst itself. The department said that this could help scientists study these interacting binary star systems in our nearest neighbor galaxy at different phases of their life, some piling up matter from their companion, while others spewing it into space. “UVIT’s fine spatial resolution and unique capability to observe simultaneously in far UV and near UV helped us investigate the fluxes in different UV bands, which led to the detection of accretion disks in some of these systems, 2.5 million light years away. The brighter the disk, the more rapidly it is consuming its companion’s matter. We also studied how the flux from these discs changes with time, and as per our expectations, the accretion process was found to be stable in these systems.” Mr. Basu, a PhD student at IIA, who led the project, said.

The 2024 IEBF Global Business Meet on Friday, themed as the 'Viksit Bharat Investment Summit', was aimed at spotlighting the many business and investment opportunities offered by India's goal of moving towards a developed economy by 2047. "To me, the thing that ties the UK and India together most closely is that we are two countries chasing the future," said Kanishka Narayan, the Welsh Indian Labour MP who recently returned from a visit to India as part of a parliamentary delegation for bilateral exchanges. "As we talk about the Viksit Bharat vision of a developed India to 10x (10 times) its GDP over the course of the period from now until 2047, the government's primary mission here (in the UK) is economic growth... so the interest we have is a deeply shared interest. The symmetry of what we are trying to do is pretty complete," he said. Among those honoured at the event, Ashesh Jani, cofounder and CEO of Ribbon Plc, named fintech of the year for his efforts to "support millions of Indian students and professionals navigating the complexities of international financial systems". Shreeram Iyer collected the Global Firm of the Year award as Chairman and CEO of Prisma.ai for "revolutionising the field of AI-driven visual recognition, providing cutting-edge solutions for image and video analysis".

Marshall has hired NC State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson as its next head coach, the team announced Sunday. Gibson replaces Charles Huff, who left for Southern Miss . Gibson is a natural replacement at Marshall with strong ties to the state of West Virginia . He worked at in-state schools for 15 years between Glenville State, West Virginia Tech and West Virginia, including as a member of both Rich Rodriguez and Dana Holgorsen's staffs. Gibson was not retained by Neal Brown, and spent the last six seasons as a defensive coordinator at NC State. After questions for multiple years about Huff's desire to be at Marshall, Gibson would represent a native son coming home. "He (Gibson) is a proud Boone County native with an enormous wealth of coaching experience that will continue to elevate and honor the tradition of success of Marshall Football," Marshall athletic director Christian Spears said in a statement released by the school. "We have recruited a proven coach that aspires to be at Marshall and to sustain the success we have come to appreciate and expect. We can't wait to get started with him and his staff ." Huff's departure came only one day after Huff led Marshall to its first conference championship since 2014 after a 31-3 win over Louisiana in the Sun Belt Championship Game. The Thundering Herd ended the season on a seven-game winning streak after a breakout stretch from junior quarterback Braylon Braxton . Braxton threw for 193 yards, rushed for 66 and added two touchdowns in the dominant victory. However, Marshall and Huff had been in a public standoff over the past several weeks. Despite posting a 32-20 record in four years, Huff's contract was set to expire after the season. Rumors linked Huff to Southern Miss over the past week in the lead up to the conference championship game, but he turned them down. Instead, he put the onus on Marshall to give him a new contract. Instead, Huff now prepares to join one of the most mercurial programs in college football . Southern Miss fired Will Hall after a 14-30 record in four years, including a 1-6 start to the 2024 season. The Golden Eagles have historically been one of the top Group of Five programs under Jeff Bower and continued the success under Larry Fedora, Todd Monken and Jay Hopson. However, the program tanked under Hall. Huff made $755,500 last season, per the USA Today Salaries Database . Hall earned $824,000. However, Southern Miss is one of the poorest athletic departments in the FBS, ranking No. 107 out of 110 FBS public schools in athletic spending.COLUMBIA, Mo. — University of Missouri officials broke ground Saturday on a $250 million renovation of the school’s football stadium, the construction project’s ceremonial commencement. MU athletics director Laird Veatch, the UM System Board of Curators and other administrators marked the occasion with a brief ceremony atop the grassy hill to the north of Faurot Field before Mizzou’s game against Arkansas. During the game, Missouri also revealed new animated renderings of Memorial Stadium's future. Work on the renovations is expected to begin in the near future, though some preparation, including the arrival of equipment, has been taking place over the last several weeks. "A lot of it's the prep work," Veatch said. "They'll be getting in there, starting doing excavation soon. You'll start seeing a lot of underground work soon, and then it takes a while to come out of the ground. There's also a lot of work going on in the background: a lot of meetings, continuing the design and all those efforts, and of course fundraising." The project is expected to conclude ahead of the 2026 season, and will be at varying stages of progress next year. "Our fans will get used to it really quick," Veatch said. Premium seating will be added to the north end of Memorial Stadium, enclosing the facility with suites and loge boxes. The iconic Rock M will be preserved, though there will be far less exposed grass and general admission seating will go away. MU’s new north concourse also will include a year-round event space intended to help the athletics department generate revenue. Of the $250 million needed for the project, half is expected to come via philanthropy. MU also might seek funding from the state during the spring’s legislative session. Veatch said Mizzou has raised more than $90 million of its $125 million benchmark. "I think we're going to see some more progress here soon," he said.

Assam Congress President Bhupen Borah remained optimistic despite the party's defeat in all five assembly by-elections held in the state. The vote counting was completed today (November 23), with BJP and its coalition candidates winning by large margins. Speaking to media, Borah said, "We may have lost today, but we are motivated to work harder. Our efforts will pay off, and in the upcoming elections, we will definitely emerge victorious". He further added, "The way the people of Assam made us victorious before, we have also faced defeat. We accept both victory and defeat with humility, but today, the media has not highlighted an important issue." Borah took a sharp dig at Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of focusing on national politics over the welfare of Assam. "For the past four months, Sarma has been acting as a part-time Chief Minister. He was sent to Jharkhand, Telangana, and Karnataka, but was unsuccessful in all his ventures. If the BJP had sent him to Maharashtra, they would have lost there as well," he said, criticising Sarma's political engagements outside the state. Borah, while acknowledging their defeat, also emphasised the progress Congress had made. "We congratulate Priyanka Gandhi on her victory in Wayanad. We received strong support in Sidli and Behali, and we are confident about contesting the BTR elections in 2025. The people of Assam and BTR believe in Congress, and they will help us win," he said. He also mentioned, while Congress lost in some constituencies, the party gained significant ground in others, adding, "In Dholai, we improved by over 30,000 votes compared to June 2024. We exposed the BJP's corruption and failure to deliver on their promises." Talking about the pre-poll violence in Samaguri, Borah expressed regret over it and alleged illegal voting. "We have filed complaints with the DC office, the Police, and the Election Commission in Delhi," he said, referring to reports of people from Samaguri casting votes in other states under questionable circumstances.After five years, Last Dinosaurs came back to the Philippines and roared the stage with “Last Dinosaurs Live in Manila” concert last December 08, 2024, at SkyDome, SM City North EDSA. Last Dinosaurs or “Last Dinos” as their fans commonly call them, is an Australian indie-rock band formed in 2007 composed of Sean Caskey (lead/backup vocals, rhythm/lead guitar), Lachlan Caskey (lead/backup vocals, lead/rhythm guitar), and Michael Sloane (bass). They also have fellow indie rock band, our very own Oh, Flamingo! as their guest artist to perform their collaboration song, “Sense – Alternate Version” following its latest release last November 15. Flying straight to the Philippines after their concert in Jakarta, Indonesia, Last Dinos had less than a day to prepare for their whole performance. “We just got here a couple of hours ago so it’s not been long yet. But we’ve been here a couple of times before and it’s always been awesome. It’s cool yeah but looking forward to it,” Michael said. In an interview with Soundstrip , the band expressed their curiosity about the Filipino food, balut. “Sean told me today that he’s been commenting on the Instagram, under my name, and saying that I want to try balut. He’s saying, “[I] love balut from Michael,” Michael added. Despite performing in the country for the fourth time, the band always brings something new to the table. In contrast to their rather primitive name, Last Dinosaurs released an album this year called, “KYORYU” – a fusion of their two previous EPs revolving around the concept of science-fiction and AI. “The whole sci-fi element, of like, the imagery and the story came from an AI image by an artist named Luke Nugent. Sean found this image randomly on the internet and was really inspired by it. It came up with this sort of imagined loose sci-fi storyline.” Lachlan mentioned. All thanks to Lachlan’s good friend and creative writer, a long story was crafted about AI and sci-fi that was later cut down into the manga and became the blueprint for their music videos during the album’s promotions and releases. Lachlan also revealed during the interview that creating two EPs for the KYORYU album was a spontaneous decision. “It sort of happened mid-process. Like, ‘Oh, we should do two, we should have two sides to this album, we should make it like that.’ And then it also so happened that well, there’s two sides to this album, and there should be two stories.” The premise for both EPs took place a thousand years after an apocalypse event. Originating from Sean and Lachlan’s Japanese names, Ryusuke and Kyohei, respectively, RYU and KYO were made. Coincidentally, KYORYU means “Dinosaurs” in Japanese which fits perfectly for the Aussie band’s name. When they were asked about the difference between the two EPs, they shared that it was influenced by the same rock music genre but are distinguishable message-wise. “KYO is like, maybe has a little bit more of a slightly political angle on it. In relation to AI like the whole metaphor is that like the character, Kyohei, who’s in the manga, is a pathological narcissist who’s being exploited by the deep state to develop an AI,” It depicted an analogy among humans at this age of technology – getting sucked into the internet that coerces individuals to display narcissistic traits. On the other hand, the second EP portrays the story of the future’s possibility in the era of AI. “Sean’s (RYU) story is about, well, what is this future looking like if AI really does take over? Like it’s kind of, but there’s a glimmer of hope at the end” Lachlan added. The successful release of KYORYU further established Last Dinosaurs’ place in the music industry and resonated with their maturity as artists. The Australian band shared that being musicians for 17 years enabled them to have more freedom and identity with their songs. “I think that we’re much more competent at crafting songs and like studio know-how. That’s about it. But I think, you know, it’s also subjective. I’m not sure if we’re writing better songs or not. You can never know that I think. It’s subjective but yeah we’re just getting more effective at making this, you know, our own sound,” Lachlan mentioned. Concluding their Asia Tour in the Philippines, Last Dinosaurs expressed their gratitude to Filipino fans for listening to their music and describing them as “some of the best and most enthusiastic fans” that they have.
