00:00To give you some context, the BBC says that laser weapons, nuclear ballistic missiles,
00:18and giant underwater drones are among the new weapons that China has unveiled at a massive
00:23military parade. Speaking before the parade, President Xi said that his country was, quote,
00:28unstoppable, and will, quote, never be intimidated by bullies. The BBC says he's joined by 26 heads
00:35of state, including Putin and Kim Jong-un. This is the first time that Xi, Putin, and Kim have met
00:41together. We do know that President Trump has responded to this on Truth Social. I believe
00:48this was just posted within the past couple hours. Take a look. The president responding directly to
00:52what's going on in Beijing today, saying, the big question to be answered is whether or not
00:57President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and blood that the United States
01:03of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its freedom from a very unfriendly foreign
01:08invader. Many Americans died in China's quest for victory and glory. I hope that they are rightfully
01:14honored and remembered for their bravery and sacrifice. May President Xi and the wonderful
01:19people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to
01:25Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un as you conspire against the United States of America. That last
01:35sentence is something that we'll be discussing with national security analyst Hal Kempfer a little
01:39bit later on in the hour. In the meantime, it is time for us to hit a quick commercial break. Lots
01:44and lots of domestic headlines to get to, including about the use of AI. There's been this question as
01:50of late as to, well, just how unbiased can ChatGPT and chatbots like it, including Twitters or Xs,
02:01Grok, how unbiased can these services be? It's a conversation that's been spurred by Elon Musk and
02:07some new reporting by the New York Times. We discuss with our experts and analysts when we return.
02:11We'll see you next time.

04:42Our housing industry is good, but it could be phenomenal.
04:45President Trump is putting the spotlight on housing.
04:48Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says the president is considering a national housing emergency declaration in the fall to address high costs and low availability.
04:58There aren't many specifics available, but the White House is reportedly looking at standardizing local building and zoning codes and decreasing closing costs.
05:08We're looking at what the president has available to him.
05:12This president understands real estate. He understands housing better than anybody. We will fix this housing market.
05:17It comes as the president ramps up his war of words with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, claiming his reluctance to cut interest rates is making housing unaffordable.
05:27We have this affordability crisis, and there are two ways to fix it. We're bending the curve on inflation, and then we can bring down prices.
05:36But some conservatives are opposing the emergency declaration, arguing the market needs to correct itself.
05:43We want to encourage homeownership, but you've got to have the housing out there. The housing stock is not growing fast enough. That's the bottom line here.
05:50And Democrats who have made housing affordability a major issue say President Trump is just playing politics, hoping to appeal to more moderate voters ahead of the midterm elections.
06:02Affordability is something that has to be applied across the board.
06:05The president is also reportedly considering dropping tariffs on construction materials to bring down new home prices.
06:12In Washington, Mike Emanuel, Fox News.
06:15Well, I was just showing you these live images of the parade in Beijing.
06:20All of this happening in Beijing, by the way, in the background of that, the White House has been pushing for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war, the Gaza war, many other conflicts that we cover so, so often here at Live Now.
06:33But, of course, Russia and Gaza continue to be two of the top talkers of the world.
06:39Alex Hogan has this look at Trump's push for peace as his adversaries are meeting in Beijing.
06:45Chinese President Xi Jinping is rolling out the red carpet for his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
06:53The two leaders are in Beijing to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
06:58They'll be joined by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and they're already making plans to push back on America's global military dominance.
07:07China is willing to work together with Russia to promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance order.
07:13This meeting of America's adversaries comes as President Donald Trump makes a push to end the war in Ukraine.
07:19North Korea is providing troops to the Russians, and China is a major buyer of Russian oil.
07:25Putin says the talks in Beijing could provide some clarity to move the peace process forward.
07:30There are options to ensure the security of Ukraine. I think there is a possibility to find consensus here.
07:36But Putin said a peacekeeping force in Ukraine is a non-starter, leaving some experts wondering how the West will guarantee Ukraine's security.
07:45There'll be no Western troops in Ukraine. Well, first of all, he doesn't have a veto over something like that.
07:50This is the first time Kim Xi and Putin have all gathered in the same place at the same time.
07:56And while it's not an explicit show of unity against the U.S., NATO allies say it's clear the Russians still have powerful friends around the world.
08:05We are all under direct threat from the Russians. We are all on the eastern flank now.
08:11Putin said Tuesday he has no plans to attack any other European country after the war in Ukraine ends.
08:17In London, Alex Hogan, Fox News.
08:20All right, let's keep things. Well, that was sort of national and international. Let's move things completely international.
08:28Fox's Greg Palcott bringing us the latest on the Gaza war, specifically protests that have been taking place in Israel as of late. Here's Greg.
08:38We refuse to take part in Netanyahu's illegal war.
08:42As Israeli forces push ahead with a new offensive in Gaza City, hundreds of reservists are refusing to report for duty,
08:50calling the operation a political move and questioning whether it would help ensure Israeli security.
08:57Netanyahu's ongoing war of aggression needlessly puts our own hostages in danger,
09:02while at the same time killing, maiming and starving an entire population of Gazan civilians.
09:08Israel's security cabinet approved the call-up last month as part of a plan aimed at taking Gaza City.
09:15And on Tuesday, the IDF began mobilizing thousands of reservists for the next phase.
09:21Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the operation is necessary to dismantle Hamas,
09:27but he's facing pressure from families of Israeli hostages to take a diplomatic route over concerns about their loved ones' safety.
09:35We must end this war before it kills even more.
09:40It comes as the world's leading Genocide Scholars Association passed a resolution saying the legal criteria has been met
09:48to establish that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
09:52And some Western leaders warn the situation could get worse if Israel does not do more to address a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
10:00This is not a natural disaster. It's a man-made famine.
10:07Israel denies that its Gaza campaign is genocide and says it is justified as self-defense.
10:14In Tel Aviv, Greg Palcott, Fox News.
10:17All right, so I have a bin full of media in front of me,
10:23and sometimes all I can see are the titles of the videos and of the news pieces that we have available to us.
10:28I got to say, one is catching my attention right now for Fox News.
10:32This is a piece about anti-wolf drones that are being used in an effort to protect livestock.
10:39Let's listen in to a little more about this one.
10:42No matter the line of work, it's safe to assume all business owners want to protect their property.
10:48It's no different for cattle ranchers out west.
10:51With a growing number having to face rising populations of gray wolves
10:55and the risk they'll target their livestock.
10:58We will do three different attempts to move the wolf off.
11:02In the ever-advancing digital age, biologists with the Department of Agriculture, Animal,
11:07and Planet Health Inspection Service have been taken to the sky for night missions,
11:11using drones to scare away wolves along the California-Oregon border.
11:15As we're flying, you know, you're up with the drone,
11:18and you're using the thermal camera to just monitor for wolf presence near the cattle.
11:23But just flying a drone at a wolf isn't guaranteed to work.
11:26The first wolf that he did encounter, he dropped down, started to come in on it,
11:33and what you see in the video is the wolf started to play about and wanted to play with the drone.
11:39The team experimented by blasting rock music and other sounds from the drones,
11:43and out of every noise they used...
11:45The human voice was the strongest response out of all the other sounds that we were playing.
11:52A live voice just saying, hey, wolf, get out of here.
11:55That animal immediately turned and ran for the wood line.
11:58The number of gray wolves has grown in the West since populations were decimated by hunters.
12:03At one time, there were an estimated 2 million wolves ranging across all of North America.
12:09But while drones are providing a non-lethal strategy,
12:12some cattle ranchers doubt it'll be a long-lasting solution.
12:15At some point, the wolves are going to figure out, yeah, that thing makes a lot of noise, but I'm still hungry.
