Al Qaeda Leader Zawahiri Killed by Drone Strike in Afghanistan

President Biden made the announcement Monday that Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has been killed by a drone strike in Afghanistan.  The CIA zeroed in on his location by carefully studying the movements of him and his family until Biden authorized a “precise tailored airstrike” with two Hellfire R9X missiles hitting Zawahiri in the balcony of his safe house in Kabul.  Idrees Ali, foreign policy correspondent at Reuters, joins us how the strike happened and the impact it has made on the terrorist network.

Next, a popular side hustle selling Dum Dum lollipops on Amazon is costing the candy company who makes them millions and it’s also violating Amazon’s policy.  People are engaging in drop-shipping and pocketing the profits by looking for products with lower prices than on Amazon, then posting those items on the website, waiting for someone to place an order, and finally purchasing the product from the other retailer and shipping it directly to the customer.  A lot of these methods are also driven by tutorials on YouTube and TikTok.  Spencer Soper, reporter at Bloomberg News, joins us for how it all works.
