This is a Fox News alert. An hour of anguish for the nation. I'm Lisa Brady. That's how President Trump describes the heartbreak after the deadly mid-air collision that killed 67 people in D.C., offering their families prayers and pledging to get answers while also suggesting...
Diversity hiring may be to blame. In his first remark since last night's collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter, President Trump criticized diversity hiring programs at the FAA. They actually came out with a directive to white. And we want...
the people that are competent. But the president says he's not sure an air traffic controller's mistake is to blame, saying it's unclear why the helicopter on a nighttime training flight failed to see the airliner. The people in the helicopter should have seen where they were going. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says there was some sort of elevation issue with the helicopter that is being investigated. Fox's Jared Halpern at the White House. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer criticizing the president's remarks as conspiracy theories, describing it
As stomach turning, helicopters in that area normally fly at a much lower altitude than the passenger jets. Search crews in the Potomac River have recovered at least 28 bodies so far. U.S. and Russian figure skaters were among those on the American Airlines flight. FBI Director Nominee Kash Patel confronted during his confirmation hearing on past comments he says are taken out of context about targeting political enemies.
Mattel also rejecting criticism of his qualifications and mindset from Republican appointees who worked with him in the first Trump administration. The only thing that will matter if I'm confirmed as a director of the FBI is a de-weaponized, de-politicized system of law enforcement completely devoted to rigorous obedience of the Constitution and a singular standard of justice. A second day of confirmation hearings underway for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead Health and Human Services.
America is 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. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what the f*** are you talking about, you insane Hollywood a**hole?
So to recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. $45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three-month plan only. Taxes and fees extra. Speeds lower above 40 gigabytes in details.
Also facing a Senate panel today, Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic congresswoman and presidential candidate, now the Trump pick to be director of national intelligence. Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton said Tulsi Gabbard may not be conventional, but... Maybe Washington could use a little more unconventional thinking. Ranking member Virginia Senator Mark Warner expressed deep skepticism of Gabbard serving as DNI. You blame NATO for Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine?
You rejected the conclusion that Assad used chemical weapons in Syria. Instead, you blame the United States for supporting terrorist groups in Syria. He noted that she had also at one point supported Edward Snowden. He said he did not believe she truly had a change of heart, that intelligence agencies should be able to engage in warrantless spying on foreign communications. Fox's Jessica Rosenthal, Gabbard says faulty, inadequate or weaponized intelligence has led to failures,
undermining national security. Eight more hostages are freed by Hamas, but there were chaotic scenes in Gaza. Hundreds of people pushing and shouting.
In the middle, looking pale and stunned, 29-year-old Israeli hostage Arbel Yehud. Tightly held by armed militants, she eventually reached a Red Cross convoy. Similar scenes as 80-year-old Gadi Moses was also handed over to the Red Cross. The apparent chaos prompted Israel to postpone the release of Palestinian prisoners until hostage safety was guaranteed.
We're told a solution was found, meaning these scenes should not be repeated. Jonathan Savage, Fox News. Five Thai nationals were also part of the latest Hamas release. The Pentagon just confirming a call between Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the NATO Secretary General, saying they discussed, among other things, building a stronger, more lethal NATO alliance. Stocks are mixed. The Dow's up 142. I'm Lisa Brady, Fox News.
