He takes an oath. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. Pete Hegseth sworn in earlier today by Vice President J.D. Vance to run the nation's military. The duties of the office on which I'm about to enter. The duties of the office of which I am about to enter. So help you God? So help me God. Congratulations, Mr. Secretary. Thank you.
Now, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth describing his guiding principles. The three principles I talked about are what we will bring to that Pentagon. Restore the warrior ethos in everything that we do. Rebuild our military and reestablish deterrence.
Now, all this comes after the Senate narrowly confirmed Hegseth yesterday. Friday, the Senate was actually split 50-50, three Republicans crossing the aisle, joining Democrats in opposing Hegseth. That forced Vice President J.D. Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote after Hegseth was confirmed reelected.
Republican lawmakers praising him as a, quote, change agent who has a, quoting again, passion for the war fighter. And the Senate confirming Kristi Noem as the new secretary of Homeland Security. The vote was 59 to 34. There were six Democrats who voted to confirm Kristi Noem. They were John Fetterman, Tim Kaine, Andy Kim, Scott Peters, Gene Shaheen and Alyssa Slotkin.
Now, the Senate meets in a rare Saturday session today to advance as many nominees across the finish line as possible. Kristi Noem, as I said, enjoyed bipartisan support. The border will be a major focus of Noem at DHS, also in her portfolio addressing issues at the Secret Service following the double assassination attempts on the life of President Trump last year.
Fox's chat program on Capitol Hill. President Trump fired over a dozen inspectors general across federal agencies late last night. America's listening to Fox News.
Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes.

Four female Israeli soldiers who had been held in Hamas captivity since the start of the current war with Israel are now free. Karina and Daniela, Nama and Liri have all landed at a hospital here in central Israel. They'll be evaluated by a team of doctors and psychologists.
at which point they'll be able to see more of their family members and friends who will likely come to the medical facility. This has been a day of anticipation for the Israeli people. We saw the images out of Hostage Square, people celebrating as they watched on screens the release of these young women from Hamas captivity. This all started this morning in Gaza City at Palestine Square. Hamas set up a stage and they paraded these women across before
transferring them to the Red Cross. Now, the hostages appeared to be in good condition. They were then taken to an IDF reunification point along the Gaza border. Fox's Trey Engst in Tel Aviv, Israel. President Trump visiting Nevada for the first time since his reelection. He wants to talk more about his promise of no tax on tips. President Trump won Nevada in November, partly because of his campaign promise to end taxes on tips. He's expected to try and drum up support for that campaign.
campaign pledged today in Las Vegas. Trump's no tax on tips plan come as Republican lawmakers in Congress also try and hash out another top priority, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts. House Republicans are likely to talk about the issue when they meet with the president for this three-day retreat in Florida starting on Monday.
Trump's trip to Las Vegas comes after he toured the storm ravaged state of North Carolina on Friday. He also visited California, where he was greeted at the tarmac in Los Angeles by the state's governor, Gavin Newsom. The two have sparred over the state's response to the wildfires. But Trump appeared to soften his tone on Friday, saying he had a very positive talk with Newsom.
