| 0:07.0 | The big news this morning is Nikki Haley's decision to resign as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. |
| 0:13.1 | She reportedly suggested the idea to President Trump six months ago and plans to make her resignation effective at the end of the year. |
| 0:19.5 | Why is she leaving a position |
| 0:21.0 | of such influence? The president was effusive in his praise, stating, she's done a fantastic |
| 0:26.9 | job and we've done a fantastic job together. We've solved a lot of problems, and we're in the |

| 1:34.9 | to hold the office. In other news, Hurricane Michael is expected to make landfall over the Florida |
