President Trump helping kick off the UN General Assembly yesterday, delivering a wide-ranging address before moving through a packed schedule of meetings with world leaders. The day bringing a new deal on Greenland, an attempted rebrand of AI, and a series of high-stakes conversations,

as the president lays out his vision for American power abroad. His starkest warning from the UN lectern directed at Iran. But I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and country? countries again. They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don't realize is that I'm not running. I did that already and won in a landslide. And I'll be here for two and a half years. The Republican Party is running and I'll be helping them. But I am not running. I gave absolutely no credence and will not give credence to the election when it comes to Iran. It doesn't even. enter my mind. The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Mr. Trump also calling on other countries to cut Iran off economically until it stops attacking

commercial ships, abandons its nuclear ambitions, and ends its support for terror. Turning to the Western Hemisphere, the president touting last month's Venezuela oil deal, which he said covers 65 billion barrels. Mr. Trump, using the U.S. operation that removed Nicholas Maduro has a warning to other governments in the region. When you add the United States and Venezuela together, we have more than 60% of the oil in the world. So it's perhaps the biggest deal. It was a war, but it's perhaps the biggest deal ever made. To the victor, belong to spoils. You've all heard that. Our actions in Venezuela are proof that the United States will no longer permit threats to America to gain a foothold.

anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. And if necessary, we will use our unmatched military might to secure the vital national interests of the United States. From Venezuela, the president turning his attention to Cuba, where he says U.S. pressure is opening the door to a very different future for the island. My administration is also seeking a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the communist regime is under great pressure, the biggest pressure they've ever been under. Marco Rubio is handling a negotiation. It will not allow a haven for foreign adversaries to threaten America on our own doorstep. It's right at our doorstep.

The Cuban regime has also spent decades coordinating with the left-wing radicals and communist networks here in the United States. As our State Department has detailed, they've cultivated ties. to subversive and radical groups such as the Communist Party USA, Antifa, and the Democrat, Socialists of America. Communism will never be coming to America, but freedom will be coming to Cuba. The Cuban delegation leaving during that portion of the speech, then the president announcing a new rebrand after his ex-poll last weekend. The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a global scheme to control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now,

here and after officially called super intelligence, changing the name, and that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. It makes it sound fake. From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term, super, as opposed to artificial.

Every major new technology brings challenges, and superintelligence is no exception. Yet the very same people who said will all be dead in 12 years because of global warming. These are the same people that are now saying that AI is going to kill us all. Whoever wins AI, you have to remember this, and now I say, whoever wins, SI, whoever wins, superintelligent wins. That's the group that wins. After months of threatening to acquire Greenland, President Trump signing a new security agreement with Danish and Greenlandic leaders on the U.N. sidelines. The pact keeping the Arctic Island

under Danish sovereignty while allowing construction of two new U.S. military bases and a Golden Dome missile defense system for America. Mr. Trump's saying the deal gives the U.S. lasting control over Greenland's security, including the power to block American adversaries from establishing bases or investing in strategic infrastructure on the island. During a later meeting with Ukrainian President Volodemir Zelensky, Mr. Trump revealing that U.S. and Iranian officials had held three hours of talks earlier in the day. The president describing the meeting as, quote,

very good and saying another is expected soon without detailing what the two sides discussed. Actress Hayden Penitiers' death officially ruled an accident, the Greenville County coroner's office announcing the 36-year-old died from the toxic effects of fentanyl and several other medications. The coroner identifying those substances as 4 ANPP, a chemical byproduct associated with fentanyl, al-Prasalam, commonly sold as Xanax,

the muscle relaxant metacarbamol, and the antipsychotic medication, quityapine. Panetier previously speaking publicly about her struggles with drugs and alcohol, along with chronic pain from injuries, she said she suffered during her acting career. The autopsy finding no signs of trauma that contributed to her death, the Heroes and Nashville Star found unresponsive August 16th inside a Greenville, South Carolina apartment where she had been temporarily staying.

First responders arriving after a 911 call reporting a cardiac arrest, then unsuccessfully attempting to resuscitate her. Penitiers' on-again-off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, and his brother, reportedly at the apartment at the time. A police report showing Hickerson directing an officer to a bag containing medications Penitier had been taking, Hickerson has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with her death. Despite the coroner classifying the death as accidental, authorities continuing to investigate

where that fentanyl came from. Sources telling ABC News, the DEA is examining whether Panetier obtained the fentanyl in California or South Carolina. Investigators also reportedly focusing on whether Panetier took a counterfeit oxycodone pill containing fentanyl before her death, questioning several people about who may have supplied it.

In that report, the teenager telling investigators Peters recruited her to appear in his looks-maxing content while allegedly knowing she was only 17.

The accuser claims she consumed roughly two or three shots during the live stream, leaving her heavily intoxicated. At one point, the teenager reportedly warning Peters, quote, wait, I'm so drunk, though. Peter's replying, quote, it's okay before kissing her.

The civil lawsuit also accuses Peters of injecting the accuser's cheeks several months later with the fat-dissolving substance aqua-lix during another live stream, despite not being licensed to perform the procedure. Peters's attorney denies the civil allegations.

A tale of two oceans unfolding this hurricane season, a monster storm exploding in the Pacific, while the Atlantic remains historically quiet. Hurricane Polo churning just off Mexico's southwestern coast as a Category 5 storm, though forecasters currently expect its most destructive winds

to remain over the water. Polo reaching 165 miles per hour Tuesday after undergoing an extraordinary transformation, growing from a tropical storm into the most powerful class of hurricane in roughly one day. CNN reporting Polo gained 110 miles per hour in wind speed during that period, nearly twice what meteorologists consider the standard for extreme rapid intensification. The hurricane moving alongside Mexico's coastline, bringing the threat of heavy rain, flooding, mudslides, and dangerous surf, even without a direct landfall. Helping drive Polo's sudden rise, unusually warm Pacific water linked to this year's powerful El Nino. The naturally occurring climate pattern also changing wind conditions across the two oceans, generally helping storms grow in the Pacific while making the Atlantic less hospitable. Fox Weather, reporting the Pacific, has produced.

produced 18 named storms, including six hurricanes and four major hurricanes. The Atlantic producing just six named storms at all and no hurricanes, reaching this point in the season without one for the first time in 112 years. Tropical storm Faye briefly approaching hurricane strength Sunday before weakening into a tropical depression Tuesday. Forecasters expecting the system to dissipate over the open Atlantic. Fox Weather notes, 1914, and 1907 are the only years on record to finish without an Atlantic hurricane, though storms could have gone undetected before the satellite era. The 26 hurricane season still far from over,

officially continuing through November 30th. And that'll do it for your AM update. I'm Megan Kelly. Join me back here for the MK show, live on SiriusXMs, the Megan Kelly channel, 11 at New East, on YouTube.com slash Megan Kelly, and on all podcast platforms. Thank you.
