00:01Positive, productive and promising. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the latest U.S.-led

00:06talks to end Russia's war in Ukraine just had their best day yet. Plus, she vanished

00:12after cutting off her monitor. But this morning, the Slenderman attacker is captured. And from

00:18Trump ally to Trump adversary, Marjorie Taylor Greene answers the question, is she running

00:23for president? The stories that matter, clear and credible, from across the country to around

00:31the world. These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow News.

00:38I can tell you, I guess, that I feel very optimistic that we can get something done here because

00:43we made a tremendous amount of progress today. Secretary of State Marco Rubio coming out of

00:48peace talks with Ukrainian and European officials sounding hopeful, saying an end to the

00:53Russia-Ukraine war may finally be in sight. Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli. New this

00:58morning, U.S. and Ukrainian officials are now discussing whether President Volodymyr Zelensky

01:03could come to the United States this week to try to hammer out the final pieces of a peace

01:08deal with Russia. CBS reports it's part of President Trump's push to get an agreement

01:13by Thanksgiving. This follows a full day of talks in Geneva, Switzerland, even as President

01:18Trump accused Ukraine of showing zero gratitude for American support. But Rubio described Sunday's

01:25session as productive, while offering few details about what, if anything, would change

01:30in Trump's peace plan or whether Russia would accept those changes.

01:34I'm telling you, today was the most productive day we've had.

01:37Well, today, and we've talked to him since, I think he's quite pleased at the reports we've

01:42given him about the amount of progress that's been made.

01:44Well, obviously, the Russians get a vote here, right? So, I mean, look, we began from the early

01:50stage of this process with our understanding of the Russian position, as had been communicated

01:54to us in numerous ways. No matter what we came up with today, obviously, we now have

01:59to take what we come up with if we can reach that agreement with the Ukrainian side to the

02:02Russian side. That's another part of this equation.

02:04As it stands now, the Trump plan would require Ukraine to give up territory, drop any bid to

02:10join NATO, and accept a cap on the size of its military. Kiev has repeatedly said it will

02:16not give up any land. Zelensky said before the talks that Ukraine would review every single

02:22point of the plan. And late Sunday, the White House said the Ukrainian delegation affirmed that

02:27all their principal concerns, security guarantees, long-term economic development,

02:32infrastructure protection, freedom of navigation, and political sovereignty were thoroughly addressed

02:38during the meeting. A high-profile case out of Wisconsin is over this morning. Police say

02:44Morgan Geiser, one of the two girls who stabbed a classmate in 2015 to please the fictional character

02:50Slenderman, is back in custody. Geiser cut off her state-issued monitoring bracelet Saturday night

02:56and walked away from a Madison group home months after a judge granted her a conditional release

03:01from a mental health facility. She was last seen with an adult companion and sparked a multi-state

03:07search this weekend. Police say they found her late Sunday at a truck stop outside Chicago

03:12and took her into custody without incident. Geiser was 12 years old when she and a friend

03:18lured Peyton Lutner into the woods and stabbed her 19 times, a crime that shocked the country.

03:24Lutner survived. Geiser pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree homicide and spent seven years in a

03:30secure psychiatric facility before her release. Police are looking into how she escaped and who

03:35might have helped her. A new war of words this morning between Marjorie Taylor Greene, Time Magazine,

03:41even some of her own colleagues, all just days after she announced she's leaving Congress.

03:46Time reported over the weekend that Greene has privately told allies she's considering a run

03:52for president in 2028. In a lengthy post on X, Greene fired back, calling the story a complete lie

03:59and insisting she's never planned a White House run, writing,

04:03I'm not the kind of person who is willing to make the deals that must be made in order to be allowed to

04:08have the title. I'm not motivated by power and titles. Greene announced on Friday she will resign in

04:14January after a very public break with President Trump. Asked about that split over the weekend,

04:20here's how the president put it. I said go your own way and once I left her she resigned because

04:25she would never have survived a primary, but I think she's a nice person. One of Greene's most

04:32vocal critics, Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, had this response to Greene stepping down.

04:37You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat. Imagine what it

04:43is to sit in my shoes, to not only be on the opposite side of him, but to have people like her

04:49who are constantly fanning the flames of hate and imagine what those threats look like when you

04:56literally are someone like me. All of this comes as Greene continues to claim she faced threats after

05:02Trump called her a traitor for supporting the release of the Epstein files and as speculation

05:07grows over what she does next, if anything, in politics. Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani is back in

05:14New York and doubling down on what he said about President Trump, even after their surprisingly

05:19friendly meeting in the Oval Office. Friday's meeting made headlines, the two men smiling, laughing,

05:24shaking hands, a far cry from months of insults, with Trump calling Mamdani a communist and Mamdani

05:31pledging to Trump-proof New York City. On Sunday, outside a church in the Bronx, Mamdani called the

05:37meeting productive, saying both sides focused on the affordability crisis and what it would take

05:42to deliver for New Yorkers. But on NBC, he defended his previous criticism of the president.

05:48Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe, and that's the thing that I think is

05:52important in our politics, is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements, but we

05:56understand what it is that brings us to that table. Because I'm not coming into the Oval Office

06:01to make a point or make a stand. I'm coming in there to deliver for New Yorkers. And a few weeks

06:05ago, I was asked by a reporter three words to describe myself. I said, New York City. And that's

06:10what animated that conversation. How do we deliver for the people of New York City?

06:14Mamdani says he still believes Trump is a fascist, but says that didn't stop them from finding common

06:19ground on cost of living, transit, child care, and public safety issues. He also says he made it clear

06:26to the president, New York does not need federal troops, and that the NYPD can handle public safety.

06:32We could get answers as soon as today about the fate of Obamacare subsidies, a central fight that

06:38dragged out the 43-day government shutdown. The White House is ready to show its plan.

06:43Multiple outlets, including Politico and CNN, report President Trump is preparing to roll out

06:48a two-year plan to extend the enhanced ACA subsidies set to expire December 31. The announcement could

06:55come at any time. Without action, premiums could double next year, and millions would lose coverage,

07:02according to KFF and the Congressional Budget Office. The White House framework, still not final,

07:07would add new income caps to qualify for subsidies and require every enrollee to pay at least something

07:13in monthly premiums. That move targets what Republicans say has been a wave of fraud tied to

07:19zero-premium plans. The plan would also push Congress to fund cost-sharing reductions, lowering

07:25out-of-pocket costs, and give enrollees the option to divert part of their credit into a health savings

07:31account if they choose a lower-tier plan. This comes as Republicans remain split, hardliners want the

07:37subsidies to expire, moderates want them extended, and Democrats are already preparing to make any premium

07:43spike a major midterm issue. Finally this morning, a big shift in car safety. The Department of

07:49Transportation is rolling out a new female crash test dummy designed to better protect women who face

07:55a much higher risk of injury in a crash than men. This model, called Thor 5F, is the first dummy

08:02designed with true female proportions. For decades, U.S. car testing has relied on a dummy based almost

08:09entirely on the male body measurements, even in tests meant to represent women. Transportation

08:15officials say this new version is far more human-like, packed with sensors that show how seatbelts,

08:21airbags, and car structures actually perform on female bodies. That data will help drive safer designs

08:28and future regulations. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says women are 73 percent more

08:34likely to be injured in a head-on crash than men, and 17 percent more likely to die. Dummy makers

08:41already have the designs and can start building models for automakers right now. Sounds like a really

08:47good idea. All right, before we head out, here's what we're tracking today. A major press freedom fight

08:52hits a federal courtroom. A U.S. appeals panel in Washington will hear the Associated Press's case

08:58against President Trump after the newswire was blocked from events for refusing to use his preferred name

09:03for the Gulf of Mexico. In New York, Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups faces arraignment in a widening

09:10FBI gambling and game rigging probe involving the NBA. And at noon, First Lady Melania Trump welcomes the

09:16official 2025 White House Christmas tree. Hey, don't start your Monday with hot takes. Start it with cold, hard
