It is literally a race between US Search teams and the Iranian military. They are also searching for that crew member. Obviously, Iran wants the propaganda victory of finding that person and parading him on tv. They were very quick to show pictures of the wreckage of the F15, pictures of the ejector seat that was found with remnants of the parachute lying nearby. That F15 was shot down in southwestern Iran. It's a remote area, very challenging for any rescue operation. But the US Bought the full brunt of its forces to that rescue operation very, very quickly.

After the F15E shootdown became public, the president's first comment on truth social media was keep the oil anyone? He also posted earlier today, our military, the greatest and most powerful by far anywhere in the world, hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran. Bridges next, then electric power plants. New regime leadership knows what has to be done and has to be done fast. The president confirmed this crash won't change his plans for negotiations with Iran, telling NBC, no, not at all. No, it's war. We're in war. That suggests the timeline for ending epic fury laid out Wednesday night holds.

The White House is asking Congress to approve one and a half trillion dollars in defense spending for the upcoming fiscal year, the large, largest total in history. For the Pentagon. Part of the spending increase would be offset with cuts to health, housing and education agencies. The administration says those can be done by eliminating woke, wasteful and weaponized programs. The White House budget office also projects higher revenues next year. Still, the budget proposal is more symbolic than anything else, serving as a priority list for lawmakers who ultimately must approve federal spending. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.

More than triple, almost quadruple what the economists thought this would be. In fact, it's beating the high end of the expectations for where jobs were. Now, when you look inside the numbers, there's some positive things that are in there. Like when you look at average hourly wages, wages increased 3.5% over the past 12 months. This outpaces inflation. And that means that as prices rise, American wages rise faster, which is not something that happened over the last administration. We also saw a turnaround here. Since President Trump took office, manufacturing jobs are down 91,000 positions. But in the month of March, manufacturing added 15,000 jobs. The labor secretary says this is not by accident.

President repeatedly blaming the partial government shutdown on Democrats who are demanding significant changes to immigration enforcement tactics before lending their support to legislation to fully fund the dhs.
