President Donald Trump
We worked on it this weekend. And you're going to see some of the items that were a little bit higher. They were lower than the last administration, but a little bit higher. We're going to have some little price reductions and in some cases some pretty good ones.
Dave Anthony
He told reporters that last night. This evening he might give more details, addressing a gathering of McDonald's restaurant executives.

With the government shutdown now over, the White House wants to pivot its messaging to the economy and what it can do to reassure Americans things aren't as bleak as many people believe. So what are those announcements going to be? More deals with pharmaceutical companies to bring down drug prices, efforts to address those higher mortgage rates, try to change the housing market, reducing tariffs on a number of products, as well as a possible $2,000 rebate check for some taxpayers.

President Donald Trump
They're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous success that we're having as a party.

Border patrol agents making dozens and dozens of arrests all around the city this weekend. We know 81 arrests were made in just five hours, according to CBP Commander Greg Bevino.

We mentioned air travel, getting back to normal with the government back open Federal food assistance programs are also fully funded again after a disruption in those benefits earlier this month. But people have to reapply for that.
Brook Rollins
More than $102 million worth of fraudulent SNAP transactions were approved last year, Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins says, exposing loopholes of waste and abuse of the federal food stamp program.
Madison Carpinos
There are vulnerable families in America that need this program that aren't getting it because of the fraud and the abuse that now we're going to work to fix.
Brook Rollins
Rollins's data from more than two dozen states showed some recipients receiving benefits multiple times and others using benefits from deceased individuals. She is planning to have all SNAP recipients reapply for the program. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.

The ceasefire the US Brokered for Gaza remains in place between Israel and Hamas. But as the UN Plans a vote today on the post war future, some in Israel are angry.

I do not need lectures from anyone, says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He's responding to fury from far right members of his coalition over a U S backed statement from the United Nations. The draft resolution is in support of President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza. The plan indicates Palestinian statehood is possible if the Palestinian Authority reforms. Prime Minister Netanyahu over the weekend insisted his opposition to a Palestinian state remains unchanged, the Israeli leader's first public statement on the issue since he embraced President Trump's peace plan in September.
