Transcript

[Dave Anthony]

He's back at the White House. I'm Dave Anthony, FOX News. President Trump returned a few hours ago.

[Unnamed Political Commentator]

After years of suffering and bloodshed. The war in Gaza is over.

[Dave Anthony]

He said that at a peace summit in Egypt after going to Israel to celebrate Hamas releasing the remaining 20 living hostages in a ceasefire plan. But only four bodies were turned over. The remains of 24 others were not.

[Fox News Correspondent]

But there was an understanding with mediators that we talked to that some of the bodies simply couldn't be located. And so we do understand as part of this agreement that was signed overnight in Egypt, there is an international coalition of teams not only from Qatar, from Israel and from other regional countries like Egypt, but many others to try and build together intelligence information and then possibly even send teams into Gaza to look for where these bodies are located.

[Dave Anthony]

Fox's Trey Youngst in Tel Aviv. There's also new concern in Gaza, which will have to be rebuilt with a new government.

[Fox News Reporter]

As Israeli troops pull back, Hamas moves in. And there are growing fears of internal violence. The militant group has deployed thousands of armed fighters and police, some posing yesterday at a hospital during the release of Israeli hostages. Social media videos appear to show men wearing Hamas headbands executing several people described as collaborators with Israel.

[Dave Anthony]

Fox's Jonathan Savage on Air Force One. Flying back last night, President Trump talked about the legal challenges that have temporarily blocked his National Guard deployments to Portland, Oregon and the Chicago, Illinois, area to help crack down on protests against illegal immigration raids.

[Unnamed Political Commentator]

If they start winning cases like this, we're going to have a rush on our border.

[Dave Anthony]

Later today, the president will pay tribute to Charlie Kirk, posthumously awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. A little over a month after Kirk was assassinated during a speech at Utah Valley University, it is day 14 of the government shutdown. The Senate plans another vote today trying to end a stalemate over funding. America's listening to FOX News.

[Dave Anthony]

It'S undermining our national security. That's what the army secretary Dan Driscoll is saying about the slow pace to implement high tech.

[Fox News Military Correspondent]

Secretary Driscoll said the military is at a critical point as technology is rapidly changing the world we live in.

[Army Secretary Dan Driscoll]

Our adversaries are harnessing it to change the very nature of warfare. We we must change or become obsolete, he says.

[Fox News Military Correspondent]

The problem is that the American military has not kept pace and promised to change the process.

[Army Secretary Dan Driscoll]

We will break down barriers until we measure acquisitions, not in years and billions, but in months and thousands.

[Fox News Military Correspondent]

Kevin Yuretsky, Fox News.

[Dave Anthony]

New Trump tariffs take effect today on.

[Cheryl Cassoni]

More imports into the U.S. upholstered, wooden products, furniture. Basically 25% is the tariff. Kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, everything that's imported, obviously not made in the United States with its import into our country. That's at 25%, softwood and timber at 10%.

[Dave Anthony]

Fox Business Network Cheryl Cassoni on Wall Street Stock futures are falling the day after a big rebound, gaining back some of Friday's even bigger sell off numbers. There was a doubleheader in the baseball playoffs. The defending champions keep rolling.

[Sports Commentator]

The Dodgers terrain a swing and a miss and Blake Trinen closes the door. The brewers strand the base is Loade.

[Dave Anthony]

Beat Milwaukee 21 in the opening game of the National League Championship Series on TBS and the ALCS. Seattle beat Toronto 103 to take a 2 nothing series lead. There's also a doubleheader on Monday Night Football.

[Sports Commentator]

Robinson off the right side breaks free. Bijon Robinson spinning down the sideline, still going. Can they catch him?

[Dave Anthony]

No, they could not. And Robinson scored a touchdown on the Atlanta Falcons 2414 win over the Buffalo Bills on ESPN. And then the Chicago Bears beat the Washington Commanders on a Last second field goal 25 24. I'm Dave Anthony. This is Fox News.
