It's Monday, October 13th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
00:00:39.500
And it's an honor to be involved, and we're going to have an amazing time.
00:00:43.300
President Trump in Israel and Egypt today celebrating the historic deal to end the war between Israel
00:00:49.440
and Hamas and secure the release of hostages in Gaza.
00:00:57.300
Pritzker jabbing President Trump as the two sides battle in a courtroom over deploying the National Guard to Chicago.
00:01:03.520
And former President Biden begins a new treatment for cancer.
00:01:06.780
All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:01:17.040
And if you do it enough, you could be at risk of diabetes, liver damage, heart attack, and stroke.
00:01:21.960
Weight cycling is when you lose 10 or more pounds, but then you put the pounds back on plus a couple more.
00:01:28.140
That puts tremendous strain on your organs and can lead to serious health issues.
00:01:33.020
Bottom line, most people need help to stop weight cycling.
00:01:35.880
And this is why I want to tell you about non-prescription lean created by doctors.
00:01:41.440
Lean is an oral supplement, not a GLP-1 injectable.
00:01:45.760
It uses studied ingredients, which lean says target weight loss in three powerful ways.
00:01:50.680
Maintaining healthy blood sugar, helping control appetite and cravings, burning fat by converting it to energy.
00:01:59.240
If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off, consider adding lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle.
00:02:15.560
President Trump making a brief trip to Israel and Egypt today, celebrating the historic deal between Israel and Hamas,
00:02:22.520
the first phase of ending the war and releasing the remaining hostages just over two years after the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack that led to the Israeli invasion.
00:02:33.140
The president speaking to reporters briefly from the tarmac prior to departure.
00:02:39.240
The Muslim and Arab countries are all cheering.
00:02:45.580
Usually if you have one cheering, the other isn't.
00:02:50.720
This is the first time everybody is amazed and they're thrilled.
00:02:58.800
And it's going to be something that's never, never happened before.
00:03:02.580
It's unclear at exactly what time the hostages will be released,
00:03:07.380
though the deadline, at least, to release all 20 living hostages set at noon Jerusalem time today or 7 p.m. Eastern, according to the terms of the deal.
00:03:17.280
The bodies of the 28 deceased hostages to be released later,
00:03:21.740
the Israeli coordinator for the hostages and the missing say some of the bodies may take time to recover as they could be buried under rubble.
00:03:29.300
President Trump first meeting with the newly freed hostages and families before delivering remarks to the Israeli Congress.
00:03:37.360
Then Mr. Trump departing for Egypt, where he is co-chairing the Gaza Peace Summit along with the president of Egypt.
00:03:44.160
Leaders from around the world joining in the summit aimed at bolstering peace and stability in the Middle East.
00:03:50.060
It is unclear if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will attend.
00:03:56.400
Once all of the hostages are released, Israel is expected to begin releasing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
00:04:04.280
Over the weekend, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Abraham Accord's architect and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
00:04:11.320
who mediated the deal on behalf of the United States,
00:04:14.700
speaking to thousands of Israelis gathered on Saturday in Tel Aviv.
00:04:23.120
Witkoff appearing visibly emotional, hearing the crowd chant,
00:04:31.180
That same crowd later booing at mention of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
00:04:37.880
Tonight, we celebrate something extraordinary, a moment that many thought was impossible.
00:04:44.720
Yet here we stand, living proof that when courage meets conviction, miracles can happen.
00:04:51.400
A peace born not out of politics, but out of courage.
00:04:56.840
The courage of those who refuse to give up hope.
00:05:00.000
When things got tough and we ran into brick walls, every time that happened, we just said,
00:05:07.160
What will rise from this trauma will be a level of greatness, a level of achievement,
00:05:12.180
a level of impact on the world, a level of leadership that Israel has never seen.
00:05:16.820
The Wall Street Journal reporting on the behind-the-scenes negotiations leading Hamas to
00:05:22.240
finally agree to giving up its most valuable bargaining chip, the hostages.
00:05:27.420
Quote, Egypt and Qatar warned the head of Hamas that if Hamas did not approve the plan,
00:05:32.820
it would be stripped of all political and diplomatic cover.
00:05:36.740
Qatar and Turkey would no longer host the group's political leadership,
00:05:39.820
and Egypt would stop pressing for Hamas to have a say in Gaza's post-war governance.
00:05:46.000
Much discussion and negotiation remains in determining the future of Gaza,
00:05:50.280
the weekend events only marking the first phase of the Trump administration's 20-point plan
00:05:58.020
Fox News reporting over the weekend, U.S. troops will oversee the ceasefire.
00:06:02.900
Vice President J.D. Vance Sunday on Meet the Press elaborating on what that looks like.
00:06:10.020
What we already have is a U.S. central command.
00:06:12.120
We already have people in that region of the world.
00:06:14.440
They're going to monitor the terms of the ceasefire.
00:06:16.780
They're going to monitor, ensure that the humanitarian aid is flowing.
00:06:20.860
They actually confirmed yesterday that Israel pulled back to the agreed-upon lines,
00:06:27.940
The second condition, or the second term, is for the hostages to be released.
00:06:31.800
So we have people in that region of the world who are going to monitor parts of this peace proposal.
00:06:36.780
So we've actually had, and this is one of the great successes of the president's diplomacy,
00:06:41.160
from Indonesia to the Gulf Arab states, we've had a number of Muslim-majority countries
00:06:46.680
offer to step up and have them put troops on the ground to secure Gaza.
00:06:51.120
It's not going to be necessary for American troops to be in Gaza.
00:06:54.780
Back in the U.S., even some Democrats conceding the historic nature of this deal,
00:07:01.700
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris,
00:07:09.680
It's a really significant first step, and I really commend President Trump and his administration,
00:07:22.500
for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward.
00:07:29.300
I don't think that we should hold in credit where it's due.
00:07:33.560
And I commend the people who have been a part of this process.
00:07:37.900
I'd commend the Qataris, the Egyptians, and the president.
00:07:45.220
He sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, you know, over to negotiate this.
00:07:58.020
Joe Biden's Secretary of State, Antony Blinken,
00:08:03.520
building on the plan the Biden administration developed
00:08:06.240
after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority.
00:08:12.180
In other words, it was really Mr. Biden's accomplishment.
00:08:17.720
Coming up, as the Trump administration battles in court
00:08:23.660
Vice President J.D. Vance not ruling out invoking the Insurrection Act.
00:08:28.200
And President Biden begins a new cancer treatment.

The Trump administration granted a temporary mixed ruling from an appeals court
00:09:49.300
in the legal battle over the National Guard's deployment to Chicago.
00:09:53.000
On Saturday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals allowing Mr. Trump to federalize the National Guard
00:09:58.460
in Illinois, something the lower court had banned,
00:10:02.280
but leaving in place the ban on actually deploying them to the city of Chicago,
00:10:09.200
For the time being, they will sit at their base in Elwood, Illinois,
00:10:16.640
Members of the National Guard do not need to return to their home states
00:10:19.940
unless further ordered by a court to do so, the appellate court ruled.
00:10:24.940
About 300 federalized Illinois National Guard members and 200 more from the state of Texas
00:10:30.280
are in Illinois right now, deployed by President Trump to Chicago last Wednesday.
00:10:35.600
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson releasing a statement in response,
00:10:41.020
Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness that local leaders like Pritzker have refused
00:10:46.840
to step in to quell, President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers
00:10:54.320
President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities,
00:10:58.560
and we expect to be vindicated by a higher court.
00:11:01.880
The administration adding it does plan to appeal this ruling.
00:11:06.440
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker calling the deployment an unconstitutional overreach of
00:11:12.540
President Trump teasing federal intervention in Chicago for months,
00:11:16.480
citing high crime and gang violence, calling the city a war zone.
00:11:20.280
For 13 straight years, Chicago recording the most homicides of any city in the U.S.,
00:11:30.520
In early September, Homeland Security launching Operation Midway Blitz,
00:11:35.160
surging federal ICE agents to the sanctuary city.
00:11:38.500
Protests in opposition to ICE regularly escalating to violence and clashes with law enforcement.
00:11:44.340
Four arrested Friday on charges of resisting and obstruction following scuffles outside of the
00:11:51.160
On Saturday, officials arresting at least 15 people outside of the Chicago ICE facility.
00:11:57.440
News Nation reporting some of the charges include criminal damage to government property
00:12:04.480
President Trump last week, posting to Truth Social, quote,
00:12:07.760
Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.
00:12:13.740
Governor Pritzker asked to respond to that yesterday on ABC.
00:12:17.560
Are you worried the Justice Department is going to come after you?
00:12:20.120
It's true that the president says things and sometimes he follows through on those threats
00:12:24.920
and he certainly has the power of the presidency.
00:12:26.960
He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution.
00:12:40.760
I mean, you're dead wrong, Mr. President and Mr. Vice President.
00:12:44.900
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is currently weighing a case that asks whether Mr. Trump has
00:12:50.120
the right to call up and deploy the National Guard troops in Portland, Oregon.
00:12:55.120
That panel at oral argument seemed ready to side with the Trump administration.
00:12:59.760
The Seventh Circuit, however, not quite as deferential to the commander in chief.
00:13:04.120
Vice President J.D. Vance yesterday on Meet the Press not ruling out the administration invoking the
00:13:09.300
Insurrection Act, an emergency power that allows the president to use the National Guard as domestic law
00:13:18.500
So are you seriously considering invoking the Insurrection Act?
00:13:21.880
Well, the president's looking at all of his options right now.
00:13:25.720
But we have to remember, why are we talking about this, Kristen?
00:13:28.740
Because crime has gotten out of control in our cities, because our ICE agents,
00:13:32.380
the people who are enforcing our immigration laws, have faced a 1,000 percent increase in violent attacks against them.
00:13:39.540
And we have people right now who are going out there, who are doing the job the president asked
00:13:43.660
them to do, who are enforcing our immigration laws.
00:13:49.680
The problem here is not the Insurrection Act or whether we actually invoke it or not.
00:13:54.260
The problem is the fact that the entire media in this country, cheered on by a few far-left
00:13:59.700
lunatics, have made it OK to tee off on American law enforcement.
00:14:04.100
We cannot accept that in the United States of America.
00:14:06.580
We want everybody, black or white, rich or poor, to be safe in the United States of America.
00:14:11.820
Invoking the Insurrection Act would almost certainly result in further legal challenges.
00:14:18.700
Former President Joe Biden undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment for prostate cancer,
00:14:26.700
The regimen, which began last month, is expected to take several weeks, according to The New York Times.
00:14:31.560
Mr. Biden announcing the diagnosis in May, stage 4 cancer, that they said had spread to the bone.
00:14:38.480
At the time, the Biden office referring to the disease as, quote, aggressive.
00:14:43.060
Last month, the 82-year-old former president had cancerous skin lesions surgically removed from his
00:14:49.620
Mr. Biden's office disclosing that he still plans to appear at two upcoming events.
00:14:53.960
The advanced nature of President Biden's disease stunning the medical community upon announcement
00:15:01.280
Experts pointing out this particular kind of cancer typically develops very slowly, leading
00:15:06.200
many to wonder how White House doctors could have missed it if they missed it.
00:15:10.780
Dr. David Samadhi, a leading prostate cancer surgeon, telling The Megyn Kelly Show in May,
00:15:15.660
the timeline of discovery, as described by the Biden office, does not add up.
00:15:20.440
If he was just a week ago, they had the prostate nodule.
00:15:25.540
Within a week, they did the biopsy and they got the disease.
00:15:28.520
So very quickly, within all one week, based on the story that they're telling, they've been
00:15:33.520
able to do the staging part and find out if the cancer is spread to the bone or not.
00:15:37.600
But you have to give the injections and see if the patient responds.
00:15:42.720
If the PSA starts to go down, then that's when you know that he's hormonal sensitive.
00:15:47.880
I don't know how they will be able to give all of this information from diagnosis to
00:15:57.940
President Biden's health disclosures, or lack thereof, remain a matter of concern even
00:16:04.300
The House Oversight Committee now investigating whether his apparent cognitive decline was
00:16:08.380
downplayed and concealed while he was in office.
00:16:12.380
And whether senior staffers improperly used the auto pen without consent from the president.
00:16:18.720
