Senator Collins holding a narrow advantage among independent voters, according 3:56 to USA Today, and winning support from 14 percent of voters who disapprove of the president. 4:01 Senator Collins also attracting support from 5 percent of voters who backed Vice President 4:05 Kamala Harris in 2024, while Jackson is winning virtually no crossover support among voters 4:10 who backed President Trump. CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten on Sunday, highlighting 4:15 the unusual dynamics of the main Senate race. 4:18 Troy Jackson, the Democrats' chances, they're actually declining. 4:22 As the Democrat lead nationwide is getting larger, Troy Jackson's chances are actually going down. 4:26 They're going down. They're going down into the Atlantic Ocean. 4:30 You know, you look back a few weeks ago, look at this. 4:31 He had a 68% chance according to the cash prediction mark. 4:34 Look where it is now. It's just a 57% chance. 4:37 Susan Collins' chances, they're going up. 4:40 They're going up. She's now up to a 43% chance. 4:42 That's basically very much within the margin of error. 4:45 And more than that, Susan Collins, well, guess what? 4:49 She has a tendency to outperform her polls. 4:52 Look at through history. 4:53 Polls underestimate Collins and Mayte. 4:54 In 2008, the final polls, they underestimated her by eight. 4:58 How about 2014, by eight? 5:00 Jackson attempting to make the race a referendum on Senator Collins' record in Washington, 5:04 particularly her support for President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who 5:08 subsequently voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. 5:11 During a debate last week, Jackson confronting Collins over her refusal to express 5:15 regret for that confirmation vote. 5:17 You know, eight years ago today, main women, I know many of them came to your office and 5:22 begged you not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, but you did it anyways. 5:25 And then he overturned Roe, and you still say that you don't regret that vote. 5:30 So I guess what I'm curious about is what will it take for you to admit that you were 5:35 wrong, you know, especially whenever Kavanaugh went out and did what he did. 5:40 I mean, and you don't regret that today. 5:42 So what what will it take for you to admit that you're ever wrong? 5:46 Senator Collins defending her record by pointing to her votes to confirm three Supreme Court 5:50 justices nominated by Democrat presidents, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Katanji Brown Jackson. 5:56 The Republican also emphasizing her independence from President Trump, 6:00 noting she is repeatedly broken from her party on major issues, including his tariff policies 6:04 and the war in Iran. Senator Collins telling moderators during an earlier debate that 6:09 the president would not be traveling to Maine to campaign on her behalf, describing herself 6:13 as far from one of his favorite senators. The five-term senator also making her experience 6:17 and seniority in Washington a central argument for reelection while questioning Jackson's 6:22 legislative record during more than two decades in Maine state politics. Here, a moment from 6:27 last week's debate. 6:28 Troy, you've served in Augusta for more than 20 years. You said that Governor Mills 6:35 bills vetoed 40 of your bills and that Governor LePage vetoed 60 of them. 6:41 But your trouble in getting bills passed goes far beyond that. 6:48 In your more than 20 years in the legislature, more than one-third of your bills were unanimously 6:58 rejected in committee. 7:00 You couldn't even find one Democrat on the committee to support a third of your bills. 7:08 If you can't find one person in your own party to vote for your bills when you were the Senate 7:17 president in Maine, how do you think you're going to get things done in a closely divided 7:24 Senate as the most junior senator? 7:28 A Saudi national working as an engineer for open AI now facing federal criminal charges 7:35 accused of secretly planting a sophisticated recording device inside an executive conference 7:39 room at the AI company San Francisco headquarters. 7:42 According to the DOJ, 35-year-old Abdul Rahman Al-Fozan was arrested by the FBI Friday appearing 7:48 in federal court Tuesday on charges of illegally intercepting or attempting to intercept 7:54 private conversations. 7:55 Alphozon, joining OpenAI in July of last year, allegedly targeting a conference room 8:00 reserved for company leadership where employees regularly discussed highly confidential research, 8:05 technology, and business plans. 8:07 The company discovering the hidden recording device during a routine security sweep late 8:11 last month, prompting an FBI investigation that ultimately led to Alphozon's arrest. 8:16 CNN reporting on how investigators uncovered the alleged surveillance operation. 8:21 This device was hidden in the back of a TV screen in the USB port of an executive conference 8:27 room. 8:27 This conference room was only used by leadership and people related to the leadership at Open 8:31 AI. 8:32 This device monitored audio, it had advanced encryption, and a mechanism for transferring 8:36 data designed to evade monitoring. 8:40 Open AI says there was evidence he planned to install more of these devices throughout 8:43 Open AI offices in San Francisco. 8:46 As you noted, this was found during a regular security sweep that Open AI conducted. 8:50 They reached out to the FBI and worked with them to install actually a camera to be able to spot 8:56 Alphozon going back into the conference room and looking behind the TV screen. OpenAI is saying that at this point 9:02 they have no indications that 9:04 he was able to inappropriately access or exfiltrate sensitive things like model weight, source code or customer data. 9:12 Federal prosecutors revealing additional evidence they say connects Alphozon to the alleged scheme 9:17 time, including his use of an AI productivity tool to research open AI's buildings, executive 9:21 meeting locations, and conference room schedules. 9:25 According to the criminal complaint, investigators also identifying a chatbot account associated 9:29 with Alphozon's wife, which was used to ask detailed questions about building, concealing, 9:35 and remotely accessing audio recording devices. 9:38 They count also making inquiries about encrypting recordings and improving live 9:42 audio monitoring, including questions specifically related to the device later discovered 9:46 covered inside OpenAI's offices. 9:48 Investigators uncovering another potentially significant piece of evidence on October 5th 9:53 when Alphozon allegedly left a bag unattended inside another company conference room. 9:58 OpenAI security personnel searching the bag, discovering his wallet, identification, and 10:02 a second recording device similar to the one found behind the television. 10:05 In a statement, OpenAI confirming Alphozon has been fired while maintaining there 10:09 is currently no indication that he improperly accessed or stole the company's sensitive 10:13 of AI technology, source code, or customer information. 10:17 Alphozon's attorney, William Pernick, urging the public not to jump to conclusions telling 10:21 CBS News, his client is presumed innocent and warning against politicizing the case 10:26 based on his nationality. 10:28 Alphozon remains in federal custody ahead of a detention hearing scheduled for Monday, 10:32 facing up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, if convicted. 10:36 Coming up, a notorious Jamaican drug lord reportedly

sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting 11:00 in your wallet, and now they're messing with your credit card. 11:04 They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack, and that Senators 11:09 Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate 11:13 megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans. 11:18 Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help 11:23 make everyday purchases more affordable. 11:25 The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin-Marshall mandates would let corporate 11:29 megastores cut corners on credit card processing, on routing transactions over cheaper, 11:34 untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections. 11:38 Find out more for yourself at GuardYourCard.com and consider telling Congress to guard your 11:44 card. 11:46 Sean Diddy Combs suffering a head injury

According to TMZ, multiple sources inside the Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey 12:02 TMZ say Combs got into a physical altercation Friday with fellow inmate Christopher Dudas 12:07 Koch, a former Jamaican gang leader serving a 23-year prison sentence. 12:12 Koch once leading the violent international drug trafficking organization known as the 12:15 Shower Posse before being sentenced in 2012 on federal racketeering and conspiracy charges 12:20 according to the DOJ. 12:22 TMZ reporting the confrontation stemmed from anger among inmates over a recent NBC News 12:28 investigation exposing Combs' privileged lifestyle behind bars, prompting prison officials to 12:33 conduct at least two raids and confiscate contraband cell phones. 12:37 Coke among those losing access to the prohibited items, blaming Combs for the crackdown. 12:43 Sources telling TMZ Combs suffered a significant head injury during the fight, prompting prison 12:47 officials to transport him to an outside medical

held in the prison's special housing unit when the 13:01 fight occurred during his daily break. 13:03 The latest account contradicting a report published Tuesday by Page Six, which cited 13:07 a source claiming Combs injured himself by striking his head on an upper bunk bed. 13:12 The 56-year-old conscious and speaking following the incident and later returning to prison. 13:16 A spokesperson

successful surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from 13:51 right lung, as the Vatican provides encouraging new details about the 71-year-old Pontiff's 13:56 condition. 13:57 According to the Vatican's medical report, Dr. Zet-Rome's Jamele Hospital removed the 14:01 entire lower lobe of the Pope's right lung Tuesday, in a procedure lasting approximately 14:05 90 minutes. 14:07 The Vatican confirming the operation was completed without complications, although testing 14:11 during the surgery revealed the tumor was a form of lung cancer known as pulmonary 14:15 adenocarcinoma, a diagnosis coming just two days after Pope Leo publicly revealed 14:20 during his Sunday on-halice blessing that doctors had discovered a small nodule in his 14:24 lung during a routine examination. 14:27 The Pope explaining the abnormal growth had been detected very early and appeared confined 14:31 to a specific area of the lung. 14:34 The Chicago-born Pontiff announcing his plans to have it surgically removed while asking 14:38 Catholics around the world to pray for his recovery. 14:41 CNN medical analyst Jonathan Reiner explaining more about this particular type of cancer. 14:46 We've been told that the Pope was found to have adenocarcinoma of the lung, which is 14:51 the most common form of lung cancer. 14:55 Most of the lung cancers that are diagnosed are adenocarcinomas which found sort of equally 15:00 in smokers as well as non-smokers. 15:03 Lung cancer, caught very early, can be completely cured. 15:08 Even more extensive lung cancer now can be very effectively treated with a variety 15:13 of modalities such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and now increasingly immunotherapy. 15:20 So lung cancer today does not have nearly the kind of dioprognosis that it had, you know, 15:26 even as recently as 10 years ago. 15:28 So if this indeed was an early cancer and the lobe was removed and lymph nodes turned out to be negative 15:35 and advanced scanning such as PET CT imaging don't suggest any evidence of distance spread, 15:42 But then, you know, the Pope may very well be cured by this." 15:45 Following the procedure, Vatican officials reporting Pope Leo regained consciousness normally 15:49 and returned to the hospital room to begin recovering.
