Transcript

[Dave Anthony]

Two Democrats in Congress primaried out in New York City. I'm Dave Anthony. Fox News. By progressive socialist candidates backed by the city's socialist mayor.

[Madeleine Rivera]

Zoram Hamdani says the results of Tuesday's primaries were the beginning of a political movement. One of the far left candidates he backed beat a five term incumbent in New York's 13 congressional district. Congressman Adriano Espallad. The chair of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus lost his seat to Democratic socialist Daryl Lisa Avila Chevalier. In New York's 10th congressional district, Mamdani backed progressive leader Brad Lander ousted Congressman Dan Goldman, who was the lead prosecutor in Trump's first impeachment trial.

[Dave Anthony]

That's Fox's Madeleine Rivera. A third socialist candidate won the Democratic primary for another New York congressional district. Claire Valdez, Abolish Ice Free Palestine. All three of those winners face Republicans who were unopposed in November. But the districts are heavily Democratic. In South Carolina, a Trump backed Republican beat another that the president had also endorsed. Then a runoff for governor Alan Wilson will next face Democrat Jermaine Johnson. The UN's nuclear watchdog says the US is right about a concession in the deal with Iran that Iran had denied.

[Trey Angst]

Today the head of the IAEA said there will be inspections of Iranian nuclear sites marking a major milestone in the negotiations between the United States and Iran. He said the priority remains locating the highly enriched uranium that is currently buried inside of Iranian territory.

[Dave Anthony]

Fox's Trey Angst in Tel Aviv. As for when those nuclear inspectors will get inside Iran, President Trump told reporters in Pennsylvania where he went to tout American manufacturing there's no rush, but they'll be on the ground at the appropriate time. The president posted on Truth Social the Senate's vote joining the House approving a resolution aiming to limit his war powers is meaningless, but it makes his job more difficult, calling four Senate Republicans losers for joining Democrats. In another Truth post, he accused oil companies of gouging, demanding they lower gas prices. America's listening to Fox News.

[Dave Anthony]

The Iran conflict and keeping shipping flowing through the Strait of Hormuz will be discussed today at the White House when NATO leader Mark Rutte goes for talks with President Trump. And then tonight we'll hear from the president kicking off the Great American State Fair with a rally on the National Mall, which will include an Air force flyover.

[Kevin Uretsky]

The F16 commander is Major Taylor Heaster, who joined Fox's America's Newsroom Tuesday.

[Major Taylor Heaster]

We'll be over Washington, D.C. just after the president's remarks.

[Kevin Uretsky]

And Major Heaster admits there is a bit of excitement involved for him and his team.

[Major Taylor Heaster]

I remember as a little boy seeing flyovers or seeing fighter jets fly around Washington, D.C. or wherever, just imagining that I could be there and then to have that opportunity as an American that grew up and wanting to do that as special. So it is a rush for sure.

[Kevin Uretsky]

He added that opportunities like that are reflective of what the country represents.

[Major Taylor Heaster]

I think that that promise that America offers you, that where you start doesn't necessarily determine where you end up is exactly what the Founding fathers had in mind. So what a special time to be part of it.

[Kevin Uretsky]

The Great American State Fair opens to the public Thursday. Kevin Uretsky, Fox News On Wall street,

[Dave Anthony]

stock futures are mixed. The day after a sell off, the dow only dropped 45 points, but the Nasdaq plunged 579. Another soccer star shines at the World Cup. Cristian Ronaldo for port goal.

[Kevin Uretsky]

Off goes Cancelo delivering the cross.

[Fox News Sports Announcer]

Ronaldo, the call on Fox. Ronaldo with the goal in the sixth minute against Uzbekistan. And it was a big one as the 41 year old is now the first player to score in six different World cup tournaments. But he wasn't done there as he tacked on one more in the 39th minute. Portugal won the game five nil.

[Dave Anthony]

Tony Genualdo, Fox News Croatia beat Panama one nothing. Colombia topped Congo by the same score. England and Ghana tied 00. The NBA draft started last night, round one. The first pick, the Washington Wizards took A.J. deBonsa, who was the leading scorer in college at BYU. I'm Dave Anthony.
