00:00:20.320
and other terrorist factions will play no role. President Trump announcing a sweeping

Michigan authorities say all congregants of a grand blank Michigan Church of Latter-day Saints
00:02:06.760
are accounted for after a gunman rammed a truck into the building Sunday morning, unleashing gunfire
00:02:12.360
and setting the church ablaze. Four people killed in the attack, eight injured, two of whom are in
00:02:18.200
critical condition after being shot. The victims ranging in age from 6 to 78. The suspect also killed
00:02:25.520
in a shootout with police. The FBI describing the attack as a targeted act of violence. As investigators
00:02:31.760
probe the suspect's past, new details emerging about the 40-year-old Marine and Iraq war veterans'
00:02:37.860
life. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, Monday morning on Fox. From what I understand, based on my
00:02:43.900
conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people
00:02:49.780
of the Mormon faith. And they are trying to understand more about this, how premeditated it was,
00:02:56.620
how much planning went into it, whether he left a note. All of those questions have yet to be
00:03:01.460
answered, but certainly will be answered by the FBI. Burton City Council candidate Chris Johns
00:03:07.160
spoke to the suspect less than a week before the attack while canvassing for his campaign.
00:03:13.060
Johns describing the man to the Detroit Free Press as, quote, extremely friendly. And though the
00:03:18.080
suspect appeared to hold animosity toward Mormons, Johns saying it did not seem violent. Johns going on
00:03:25.000
to say he conversed with the alleged gunman for about 20 minutes, the suspect opening up about his
00:03:30.600
military career and his struggles with drug addiction upon returning home. Johns says the
00:03:36.440
suspect told him he moved to Utah at one point and was in a relationship there with a woman who came
00:03:41.540
from a Mormon family. From the Detroit Free Press, quote, the suspect began asking him open-ended
00:03:47.660
questions about Mormonism. The more questions the suspect asked on the topic, the more pointed they
00:03:52.880
became. Johns said everything the suspect asked him about Mormonism led to the alleged shooter
00:03:58.360
declaring the religion as the Antichrist. Johns says he recognized the alleged gunman instantly when
00:04:04.720
he saw images on TV and social media. Police Chief William Rennie saying on Monday the alleged gunman
00:04:11.140
had been previously arrested for burglary and driving while intoxicated, though did not elaborate
00:04:16.480
further. The suspect's family is cooperating with investigators, according to the White House,
00:04:21.520
the scene of the attack still on lockdown as multiple agencies investigate the wreckage.
00:04:26.240
President Trump, joined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, unveiling a 20-point plan to
00:04:34.120
end the war in Gaza on Monday at the White House. The White House announcing the plan just eight days
00:04:39.720
ahead of the second anniversary of the October 7th attack, when Hamas militants invaded Israel,
00:04:45.720
killing 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages. The sweeping plan calling for Gaza to be fully
00:04:52.200
demilitarized and governed by a temporary international committee known as the Board
00:04:57.800
of Peace, chaired by President Trump. The 48 hostages remaining, 20 of whom are believed to be
00:05:05.040
alive, would be returned within 72 hours, and in exchange, Israel will release almost 2,000 prisoners.
00:05:13.020
Aid would immediately begin flowing into Gaza as Israeli forces gradually withdraw, handing over security to a
00:05:19.700
newly created international stabilization force. Hamas members who disarm will be granted amnesty
00:05:25.920
and allowed to leave Gaza, though no one will be forced to move anywhere. The area will be redeveloped
00:05:31.960
as a special economic zone with international oversight until the Palestinian Authority completes a
00:05:38.000
reform plan. If all conditions are met, there is a possibility of eventual Palestinian statehood.
00:05:44.500
President Trump describing the proposed temporary governing structure.
00:05:48.720
To ensure the success of this effort, my plan calls for the creation of a new
00:05:54.060
international oversight body, the Board of Peace, we call it. So it'll be headed by
00:05:59.700
a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States. That's what I want,
00:06:04.900
some extra work to do. But it's so important that I'm willing to do it,
00:06:10.440
and we'll do it right. And we're going to put leaders from other countries on and leaders that
00:06:15.080
are very distinguished leaders. And we'll have a board. And one of the people that wants to be on
00:06:20.820
the board is the UK former prime minister, Tony Blair, good man, very good man, and some others.
00:06:27.580
And they'll be named over the next few days. And it'll be quite the board. Working with the World
00:06:32.580
Bank and others, it will be responsible for recruiting and training a new government that will be made up of
00:06:38.780
Palestinians, along with highly qualified experts from all around the world.
00:06:43.760
Hamas and other terrorist factions will play no role in the board. They'll play no role in the
00:06:49.880
governance of Gaza at all. The foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates,
00:06:56.500
Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, releasing a joint statement welcoming the deal,
00:07:03.200
which hinges now on Hamas's acceptance. After nearly eight months of stop-and-start
00:07:08.400
negotiations between the White House, Israel, Arab leaders, and Hamas, all eyes now on the
00:07:14.140
terrorist organization. Fox News reporting Hamas negotiators have been briefed on the plan
00:07:20.980
As we don't know where Hamas stands on this proposal, the leadership has been meticulously
00:07:25.680
taken out by Israel. Yahya Sinoir was killed in the city of Rafa in southern Gaza.
00:07:30.760
Mohammed Def killed in the southern city of Khan Yunus. Ismail Khania killed in the Iranian capital
00:07:36.520
of Tehran. So the people negotiating on behalf of Hamas are historically lower-level people.
00:07:42.620
They are not actually the decision makers. And so they're all that's left from the leadership
00:07:46.780
in this terrorist organization. And it raises questions about who will be able to put that
00:07:51.960
final pressure on Hamas to have them basically sign off on this agreement.
00:07:56.980
Political reporting, one source involved in the process suggests a response may take a few days.
00:08:03.440
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu from the White House issuing a warning to Hamas.
00:08:08.580
We're giving everybody a chance to have this done peacefully, something that will achieve all our
00:08:14.740
war objectives without any further bloodshed. But if Hamas rejects your plan, Mr. President,
00:08:20.420
or if they supposedly accept it and then basically do everything to counter it, then Israel will finish
00:08:26.620
the job by itself. This can be done the easy way or it can be done the hard way, but it will be done.
00:08:33.480
We prefer the easy way, but it has to be done. All these goals must be achieved because we didn't fight
00:08:40.800
this horrible fight. Sacrifice the finest of our young men to have Hamas stay in Gaza and threaten us
00:08:48.260
again and again and again with these horrific massacres.
00:08:52.580
President Trump saying Israel will have the White House's full backing to finish the job if Hamas
00:09:00.540
Coming up, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk back in court with an expensive taxpayer-funded legal team.
00:09:06.720
And with the government prepared to shut down tonight, Republicans and Democrats refusing to blink for now.
00:09:18.500
It's the time for Medicare annual enrollment again. The mailers, the robocalls, the techs blowing up your
00:09:24.620
phone. It's a circus. But this is the one Medicare message you actually do need to hear. Medicare plans
00:09:30.080
can change every year. So even if you think you're good with your current plan, you have to look at what's
00:09:35.060
coming for 2026 or you could lose coverage for things you depend on. This is why I want to tell
00:09:41.060
you about Chapter. They look at every plan in the country to make sure you're not getting ripped off.
00:09:46.300
On average, they save people $1,100 a year. Look, I know you don't want to deal with this. Nobody does.
00:09:52.280
But Chapter can check your options out in under 20 minutes. If your plan is the best one for you
00:09:58.140
heading into 2026, great, you're done. If not, they're going to help you switch. No gimmicks,
00:10:03.120
no high-pressure sales, just straight talk from people who know what they are doing.
00:10:07.660
Call Chapter today at 27 Medicare for peace of mind. That is 27 Medicare to speak with a trusted
00:10:18.620
Charlie Kirk's accused assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, appearing by phone in court yesterday
00:10:24.620
for a routine status hearing, speaking only once to confirm his presence on the line.
00:10:29.360
Robinson dialing in at the request of his newly appointed defense counsel from the Utah County
00:10:34.620
jail, where he is being held without bond. The hearing, lasting about 10 minutes, District
00:10:40.260
Court Judge Tony Graff, previously determining Robinson cannot afford a lawyer, formalizing
00:10:47.740
The court enters findings that the combined experience of counsel meets and exceeds the
00:10:53.820
requirements of Rule 8. Utah law requires the court to appoint two or more well-qualified
00:10:59.980
attorneys in death penalty cases where the defendant is indigent. Last week, the Utah County Commission
00:11:05.600
approving a $1 million contract, funding both Robinson's legal defense team and the prosecution.
00:11:12.960
Attorney Catherine Nestor named Robinson's attorney. Michael Burr and Richard Novak appointed as co-counsel.
00:11:18.860
According to Deseret News, each has decades of legal experience, including extensive work
00:11:24.980
on death penalty cases. The prosecution yesterday confirming an open line of communication with
00:11:30.280
Robinson's defense team to share a, quote, substantial amount of discovery. Lead defense
00:11:35.700
attorney Nestor asking for more time to review the documents before making a decision on whether
00:11:40.920
to proceed with a preliminary hearing. It is not our intent to waive a preliminary hearing in this
00:11:47.460
matter. We are going to be seeking that one be set. However, based largely on what the state just
00:11:54.940
referred to as far as voluminous nature of the discovery materials, we do think it would be prudent
00:12:03.060
to simply reset for another conference, another waiver hearing, a little bit down the road,
00:12:10.140
where we have a better idea once we start seeing the discovery as it rolls in. I do recognize we're
00:12:16.480
going to be getting that first batch in five days, but it's my understanding from our meeting today that
00:12:22.600
there is massive amounts of digital that is going to be coming. And until we can kind of get our heads
00:12:31.060
around exactly what we're dealing with and how much we need to process, it's going to be difficult for
00:12:36.720
us to give you a reasonable expectation of when we will be ready to do the prelims.
00:12:41.860
Judge Graff setting the next court date for October 30th at 10 a.m., where Robinson will appear in
00:12:47.160
person for the first time. He faces one count of aggravated murder, two counts of obstruction,
00:12:53.340
felony discharge of a firearm, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent
00:12:58.420
offense in the presence of a child. Congressional leadership meeting at the White House yesterday
00:13:04.800
as the government's funding is set to run out at midnight tonight, walking away without a deal.
00:13:11.280
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries after the White
00:13:15.400
House meeting yesterday. It's up to the Republicans whether they want to shut down or not. We've made to
00:13:20.500
the president some proposals. Republican leaders will have to talk to them about them, but ultimately,
00:13:26.180
he's the decision maker. Significant and meaningful differences remain, and we are not going to
00:13:32.720
support a partisan Republican spending bill that continues to gut the health care of everyday
00:13:39.320
Americans. Period. Full stop. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune
00:13:46.040
putting it this way. They wanted to restore taxpayer-funded benefits, okay? Hard-working taxpayers in
00:13:52.640
America. They want to take your funds and give that for benefits to illegal aliens. During the
00:13:58.320
Biden administration, there were 13 threatened shutdowns. The Republicans in the minority did
00:14:03.200
the right thing. We kept the government open. We're simply asking for the Democrats to do the
00:14:07.600
same. This is a hijacking of all the American people, and it's the American people who are going
00:14:12.000
to pay the price. Vice President J.D. Vance saying Republicans are open to discussions on issues
00:14:17.360
like health care, but not amid a shutdown. You will hear a lot from Senate Democrats,
00:14:22.800
from House Democrats about the fact that American health care policy is broken. Well,
00:14:26.800
we know that American health care policy is broken. We've been trying to fix it for the
00:14:30.240
eight months that we've been in office. But every single thing that they accuse about being broken
00:14:35.440
about American health care is policy the Democrats have supported for the past decade. I think we're
00:14:40.160
headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing. Round and around and around they go.
00:14:49.120
