00:01Welcome to Hannity and we start tonight with a Fox News alert. Tonight
00:05President Trump just pulled off something once thought impossible and the
00:09nation and the world are a safer place. For the first time in decades we now have
00:13a clear path and committed coalition of partners to achieve a true lasting peace
00:19in the Middle East. Take a look. This is the day that people across the region
00:24and around the world have been working, striving, hoping and praying for. Together
00:30we've achieved what everybody said was impossible. At long last we have peace in
00:36the Middle East and it's a very simple expression peace in the Middle East and
00:40we've heard it for many years but nobody thought it could ever get there and now
00:43we're there. Okay so how did we get here? How did Trump pull this off when so many
00:48others have tried and failed? First it is critically important to understand
00:53President Trump more than any other president in the modern era does
00:58understand the power the influence of this country the USA and he is you
01:03willing to use both economically militarily to make the world a better
01:09and safer place. After Afghanistan guess what? America now stands bright and tall
01:15as the leader not only of the free world but of the entire world and this brings us
01:19to four critical points. How this all went down, how it all happened,
01:22Israel and only Donald Trump could convince Israel. Why? Because of his
01:27long-standing support for Israel and only Trump could get Israel to stop wiping out
01:33Gaza completely. That war was one they just had to finish it. This of course after we
01:40had Hamas attacking Israel for decades culminating with the attacks a little
01:45over two years ago on October 7th. Now number two only Trump could convince a
01:50coalition of neighboring Arab countries to join in these peace efforts. Why? Because
01:55after decades many of these countries most of these countries wanted nothing to do
02:01with any solution and he was able to forge deep alliances with countries. Why? Because
02:07they trusted him. They respected him. He built up real and meaningful
02:11relationships with all of them. Number three you cannot underestimate the impact of
02:17Donald Trump sticking to his promise Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and then taking out the Iranian
02:24nuclear sites. The world knows that President Trump does not make idle threats and this is proven with the Trump
02:32doctrine over and over and over again and more recently gave Iran 50 days choose peace. They said no. On day 51,
02:41Israel got the green light. They attacked Iran's ballistic missile sites, their air defense systems and then we took out their nuclear facilities.
02:49Well, he gave them the choice for peace. They rejected it. Number four, Trump said to Hamas, you can do it the easy way, you can do it the hard way.
02:57They initially rejected this deal. President Trump doubled down, said if you reject this deal you will be obliterated.
03:06Clearly they believed him and their minds were changed. This is the embodiment. This is not a phrase that conservatives use.
03:14Peace through strength. Trust but verified. No, these are real principles that work in real time and we watched it unfold before our eyes today.
03:22And as Time magazine rightly pointed out, this is Trump's triumph. But this is so much more than a political win.
03:29Thanks to the president, his team, countless lives have been saved on both sides of this conflict, including all 20 living hostages now released by Hamas.
03:39Thank God. Take a look.
03:40Over the past two years, I've met many of the families of the Israelis taken hostage and those that were taken hostage.
03:49Unbelievable. I've looked into their eyes. I've seen the worst nightmares of their suffering, but I've also seen something else, the beautiful love of the people, the love of people, frankly, that hold things together.
04:03The love that gives you the courage to carry on through thousands of years of persecution and repression and to emerge with the heart of David.
04:12It's the heart of David. It's that love that's defeated the enemies of civilization, built this incredible country and this unbelievable economy and forged one of the great democracies of the world.
04:26Now, for more than two years, these hostages, they were held in captivity by terrorists in Gaza, by Hamas, and now they are home. Take a look.
04:38Mr. Hamasini!
04:40Mr. Hamasini!
04:41Mr. Hamasini!
04:42Mr. Hamasini!
04:43Mr. Hamasini!

05:04Mr. Hamasini!
05:05Mr. Hamasini!
05:06Mr. Hamasini!
05:07Seaheim O'odan, God, O'odan, we shall wait for you, we shall go and take our time to the world.
05:13Bye bye.
05:14Bye.
05:15Oh, how much, how much.
05:17I'll get away, I'm sorry.
05:18Come on, I'm going.
05:19Come on.
05:20Come on.
05:22I'm a child of my own.
05:24I'm a child of my own.
05:26My own own.
05:27My own own own.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Yeah.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Yeah.
05:35Thank you, Lord, to us, Lord of all, that we have lived and created, and we have come to this time.
05:45Gaiqo! Gaiqo! Gaiqo!
05:57So in Israel, I'm not really sure what part of hundreds of thousands of rockets that have been fired into this small country the size of New Jersey,
06:05they don't understand. I'm not sure what part of murder, the equivalent of 40,000 Americans in a day
06:11murdered based on their population size versus ours, that they don't understand.
06:16I'm not sure what part of rape and kidnapping and beheading they don't understand.
06:21I've seen those videos. I wish the world would see them.
06:24And now the Middle East, by the way, and the world is changing rapidly right before our eyes.
06:29Thanks to President Trump, America now is in the driver's seat.
06:32Today, every leader from almost every major country around the globe convened in Egypt to thank our president,
06:40to praise the administration's pursuit of peace.
06:43He's been unrelenting.
06:44He has literally been expending so much political time and energy to get this day accomplished and make this happen
06:51and commit to helping this become a lasting peace, a lasting coalition.
06:57Hours earlier, during his speech at Israel's Knesset, members of Israel's government were chanting Trump, Trump, Trump.
07:04Some were even wearing red MAGA hats. Take a look.
07:07I love Israel. I'm with you all the way.
07:10You will be bigger, better, stronger, and more loving than ever before.
07:17Thank you very much. God bless you. God bless the United States of America.
07:22And God bless the Middle East. Thank you, everybody. Good luck.
07:27Thank you very much. Thank you.
07:29Thank you very much. Thank you.
07:31Thank you very much.
07:42History in the making. For the first time, maybe ever, there was cheering in both Israel and in Gaza.
07:49Make no mistake, you were witnessing history that many thought could never happen,
07:54but not everyone was particularly happy. The, quote, ceasefire crowd, well, can't seem to say much of anything at this point.
08:02It looks like they really didn't want a ceasefire after all, or they simply cannot find it within themselves
08:07to ever once at one time give President Trump any credit at all.
08:12Meanwhile, Joe Biden's dumb, incompetent former Secretary of State, the architect of the Afghanistan withdrawal,
08:18Winken, Tony Blinken, actually took credit for this deal,
08:21posting on X that he was glad that President Trump adopted the Biden plan for peace,
08:27which is like the most laughable post I've ever seen.
08:30Remember, Obama and Biden. Remember their Iranian nuclear deal?
08:35Remember, they dumped, you know, cash and other currencies and cargo planes on the tarmacs
08:40for the mullers to foment more terror around the world?
08:43That was not exactly a peace plan, and that deal would have allowed the Iranians to become a nuclear superpower.
08:52In reality, the only thing Blinken ever pulled off was his disinformation campaign against Trump.
08:57Of course, he organized the now infamous letter signed by, what, 51 former Intel officials
09:03who had never seen Hunter's very real laptop that is now authenticated,
09:09falsely suggesting that that laptop that they never saw was likely Russian disinformation.
09:14And meanwhile, over at fake news CNN, the network's far left international correspondent,
09:20Christiane Mampour, forced to apologize over the disgusting comparison to the Holocaust.
09:27Take a look.
09:28People who start to talk to the hostages who've only just been released will find
09:33that it will take a long, long time for them to recover physically but also mentally.
09:39It's been a terrible, terrible two years for them because not only are they there,
09:44you know, they're probably being treated better than the average Ghazan
09:47because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had.
09:50Now Hamas has given up all its leverage, by the way, by giving them all up.
09:55So that is a victory for the Israeli side.
09:58The hate never stops.
09:59The rhetoric was even worse from a former MSDNC host who wrote
10:03and then deleted a tweet calling the war in Gaza worse than the Holocaust.
10:08Again, for some on the left, peace was never the goal.
10:12But for President Trump, peace was always on his mind.
10:15And despite the haters and those that doubt, he got it done.
10:19That's great for the world.
10:20Great for Israel.
10:21Great for the Middle East.
10:22Here with reaction.
10:23He is the host of Life, Liberty, Levin.
10:25We call him the great one, Mark Levin.
10:27Thank me.
10:28God bless us.
10:28Mark, truly historic in so many ways.
10:33I'm good.
10:34I gave my reasons how I think he was able to make this happen.
10:38Certainly taken out Iran's nuclear sites at the top of the list,
10:42saying that he would obliterate Hamas at the top of the list.
10:45I want your thoughts.
10:46Well, the first thing that had to happen was military action, power,
10:53because that's a rough neighborhood and talk goes so far.
10:56But they've been talking there for centuries.
10:59So finally, Israel decided under their great prime minister that they weren't going to put up with this anymore.
11:04There would be no premature ceasefires.
11:07And something happened that we've never seen before, ever, in the Middle East.
11:12You had this tiny little country defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon.
11:16Twelve days they defeated Iran.
11:18They were defeating Hamas and how them surrounded.
11:22We've never seen anything like this.
11:24Once Biden was out of office, they were getting the arms from Trump.
11:27They were getting the support from Trump.
11:29One hundred percent.
11:31Israel demonstrated in the Jews there that they could defend themselves and destroy these terrorist entities and so forth.
11:39And the truth of the matter is this.
11:41Donald Trump came in, took out those nuclear sites.
11:44That was crucial.
11:45That was crucial for our protection, Israel's protection, the region's protection, the world's protection.
11:51And the Arabs saw that.
11:52The Muslims saw that.
11:53They all saw it.
11:55And they started to shake.
11:56And they were very nervous.
11:57And the new Trump meant business.
11:59Why?
12:00Because the Democrats were opposed to it.
12:02The media were opposed to it.
12:03Our Neanderthal isolationists were opposed to it.
12:06Probably some of his advisors were opposed to it.
12:09So he demonstrated what he wanted to be.
12:11He could be George S. Patton.
12:12And that's exactly what he did.
12:14And he gave them warnings.
12:15And he gave others warnings.
12:17And I think they decided then.
12:18And the president said it wasn't about Israel hitting Qatar.
12:21It was when he hit those sites, they decided we better saddle up to this guy.
12:27We better listen to what he has to say.
12:29He wants to talk about peace.
12:31He doesn't want to pursue the military.
12:33You had a tremendous partnership with Netanyahu and with Trump.
12:39These are two truly unique statesmen.
12:41The thing about Donald Trump is this.
12:43He means what he says.
12:45He is a statesman.
12:48And not only does he mean what he says, he's 10 steps ahead.
12:51I'm looking at the group that he's with in Egypt.
12:55And I'm thinking to myself, he's created a mini United Nations right there with these people.
12:59He's gone around the United Nations.
13:01But I will say this, a word of caution, Sean.
13:03The only way peace holds in the Middle East is if they go after terrorism.
13:09Now, who are the terrorists?
13:11The terrorists are the Islamist jihadis.
13:13Where are they?
13:14They're in Arab and Muslim countries.
13:16So unless the Arab and Muslim countries control the terrorists within their borders, some of them are afraid of them, some of them acquiesce to them, some of them fund them, and we can't pretend otherwise, there will not be a lasting peace.
13:30We're not defunding our counterterrorism activity.
13:34The world's not doing that.
13:36We didn't say, great, we have peace, so therefore what we will do is defund all of our efforts to protect ourselves from terrorists.
13:42No.
13:42The same thing goes on in the Middle East.
13:44So I think Donald Trump is uniquely positioned with all those folks from these Muslim American countries.
13:52It's not Israel that will break the peace.
13:55It's Israel that will defend itself.
13:57It's the Islamists and the jihadis.
13:59One other thing.
14:01Trump actually reminds me of Israel.
14:02I'll tell you why.
14:04Israel only attacks as a counterattack.
14:07It doesn't attack first.
14:09It attacks when it's attacked.
14:12Donald Trump is a nice guy.
14:13But if you attack him, he's a counterpuncher.
14:16It's the same thing.
14:17So I am still concerned about Hamas.
14:20I don't quite understand phase two yet.
14:23Hamas is in there killing people right now as we speak.
14:27Hamas is saying they refuse to disarm.
14:30So now it's the work of the Arab countries and the Muslim countries who said they would do something about it.
14:36Israel did its part.
14:38It's lost its soldiers.
14:40It was prepared to destroy Hamas.
14:42Now it's going to take Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and the other countries to disarm them and to demilitarize Gaza.
14:53If they do that, I think this has a real shot at working.
14:56If the pressure is all on us in Israel, I'm not so sure.
15:01But I do know this.
15:02Donald Trump's in charge.
15:03So I have a feeling it's going to work out.
15:05I think it is, too.
15:07One aspect of this is Israel was not the only country in the region that was afraid of a nuclear-armed Iran and Iranian hegemony in the region.
15:15All of these countries were afraid.
15:17So by taking out those nuclear sites and taking that off the table, that enabled the president to build up these coalitions.
15:24And now, you know, while for decades they have wanted no part of the solution, now they're more willing to get involved.
15:32So that does give me a lot of hope.
15:33How about you?
15:33A hundred percent.
15:37Look what Donald Trump has done.
15:38He's built up the United States military for the second time he's had to do it, right?
15:42What else has he done?
15:43He's made it clear that he wants peace, not war, but he'll do what he has to do in targeted situations to get to that.
15:51And again, I point to Iran.
15:52He negotiated with Iran.
15:53They negotiated with Iran.
15:54Iran was dragging its feet, dragging its feet.
15:57Nobody believed he would do what he did, and he did it.
16:00And he did it.
16:00And he did it so fast, with lightning speed, with such precision, using our technology and so forth, and compare him to Biden.
16:09Biden was literally paying the Iranians to build nuclear weapons.
16:13Biden was turning his eyes from Iran cheating on the sale of oil to China and on and on and on.
16:19Look, Donald Trump is a serious man.
16:21He's actually very easy to deal with if you understand who he is and what he wants to do.
16:26But if you're a terrorist or if you're a if you're a if you're a a genocidal regime and you're going to hurt the United States or hurt one of our allies, he's going to be your worst enemy.
16:37All right.
16:38The great one.
16:38Mark Levin, Life, Liberty, Levin every weekend.
16:40Don't miss it.
16:41All right.
16:42Here now with reaction.
16:43Israel's first special envoy for combating anti-Semitism.
16:46Noah Tishby and founder and executive director of the Lawfare Project.
16:50Brooke Goldstein.
16:51Brooke, start with you.
16:53Reaction to these historic events.
16:55Well, first of all, Sean, I want to thank you for having me on this important and historical day.
17:03I want to express my deepest appreciation to President Trump, who pulled off an absolute miracle.
17:09I want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu, who's been an incredible wartime leader, who made a promise that he'd get every hostage back.
17:15He fulfilled that promise as well.
17:16And I want to thank the IDF 913 soldiers were killed, over 6,000 IDF soldiers wounded in pursuit of the goal to rescue the hostages.
17:28And that shows the spirit of the Jewish nation and the unity of the Israeli people who have had the ethos that they will never leave anyone behind.
17:37And the Jewish culture that cherishes life.
17:40Every single Jewish person feels as though each hostage is a family member.
17:44And that is why the Jewish state made the ultimate sacrifice of its soldiers to save their civilian captives.
17:51But I want to be clear, this could not have been done without a strong leadership in the current president, because he is the ultimate dealmaker, because he brought both sides to the table and both sides think that they won.
18:02Israel achieved its number one goal of getting the hostages back.
18:06We've opened the way to expand the Abraham Accords.
18:09Iran has remained isolated.
18:11The troops and the civilians now have a much-needed break.
18:13But we have to understand there's two worldviews here.
18:16There's the Islamist worldview.
18:18And in the eyes of the Arab nations, they think they also won.
18:22The Muslims still control Gaza.
18:24They didn't cede one inch of their caliphate.
18:27And as Mark just said, Hamas is still in power, executing civilians and political opponents.
18:32Four out of the 20 hostage bodies remain.
18:35They can be used as leverage.
18:362,000 ruthless jihadi murderers were released and welcomed as heroes.
18:41And Israel has endured and now will continue to endure not just a brutal war, but a global delegitimization and blood libel and lawfare campaign.
18:51Noah, let's get your take.
18:55Well, today is a historic day, and we are finally smiling.
18:59I've been sitting here for two years talking to you and talking to everybody that I could possibly talk to.
19:03And we've been so stressed out and upset.
19:06And today we are smiling.
19:08And here's what we need to understand.
19:11Today is about the release of the hostages, but it is also about the possibility of releasing the Middle East from radicalism, from Islamists, from jihadism,
19:22which is what all these countries that have come together in Sharma Shech want to do.
19:27You know, great leaders in the world, they don't describe reality.
19:31They create reality.
19:32They use their words to create a new reality.
19:34And what we're dealing with here right now is a hostage deal with an extraordinary possibility of a peace deal.
19:40And I just want to encourage everybody to keep holding that in our imagination.
19:45What we're going towards is a peace deal in the Middle East.
19:48And this is what President Trump is creating for everyone.
19:51And this is what we want to do.
19:53We are.
19:53He's basically creating a new reality for us that doesn't exist right now, that I know every single person in Israel and people in the Middle East that are moderates actually want this.
20:03We do need to remember that this is phase one in a very complicated deal.
20:08And the pressure has to be kept on Hamas.
20:10The pressure has to be.
20:11We cannot let this go with this one extraordinary phase that happened today.
20:17Hamas needs to be disarmed.
20:19They cannot control Gaza.
20:21And what I'm encouraging everybody to notice is who gets the money to rebuild.
20:25Because if the money for rebuilding Gaza goes to Hamas, I think the region is going to go back.
20:30I know that President Trump has been very clear about not wanting this to happen.
20:34And we're going to have to keep pushing for that.
20:36We cannot give them the money to rebuild.
20:39They need to be removed.
20:41That would be a huge mistake.
20:42And all the progress we made would probably be for naught.
20:46I don't think that's going to happen.
20:48Noah, Brooke, good to see you both.
20:50And up next, tonight, right here on Hannity.
20:53You did not answer the question.
20:54Thank you for your time this morning.
20:56No, George, I said that I don't.
20:57Up next, we'll be right back.
21:00All right, the left-wing media mob will stop at nothing to try to undermine and disrespect
21:04the Trump administration, even if it means cutting off the vice president of our country
21:09during an interview.
21:11And by the way, not the first time Georgie did this.
21:13No wonder, you know, Americans trust in the media has had a record all-time low.
21:18Joe Contra reacts.
21:20Also, what's the latest on the Schumer shutdown?
21:23We'll check in with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.
21:24We expect a vote tomorrow and much more straight ahead.
21:28All right.
21:28Do you ever ponder, you ever wonder, ever think about why nobody trusts ABC News?
21:34Maybe it's because of stunts like this that George Stephanopoulos pulled off yesterday,
21:39abruptly cutting off the vice president of our country, cutting off his mic, ending the
21:45interview right as he was about to answer a question.
21:48Oh, the guy that worked for Clinton, the guy that's a big liberal hack, the guy that's
21:53part of the war room threatening people on that film.
21:56Take a look.
21:58Let's talk about the real issues, George.
22:00I think the American people would benefit much more from that than from you going down
22:04some weird left-wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn't
22:09engage in any criminal wrongdoing.
22:10It's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole.
22:12I didn't insinuate anything.
22:13I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000, as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the
22:19FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question.
22:23Thank you for your time this morning.
22:24No, George, I said that I don't.
22:26Up next, we'll be right back.
22:28Oh, why let the vice president answer the question?
22:31Now, this is not the first time Georgie has done this to the vice president, Vice President
22:37Vance.
22:37He also muted his mic last year while the two were debating over the Supreme Court.
22:43It's a pattern.
22:44Take a look.
22:45You're talking about a hypothetical where the Supreme Court tries to run the military.
22:49I don't think that's going to happen, George.
22:51But of course, if it did, the president would have to respond to it.
22:54There are multiple examples throughout American history of the president doing just that.
22:58You didn't say military in your answer, and you've made it very clear you believe the
23:01president can defy the Supreme Court.
23:03Senator, thanks for your time this morning.
23:04No, no, no, no, no, George.
23:06Roundtable's up next.
23:09I get my cheap shot and you don't get to respond.
23:11Here with reaction, Fox News contributor Joe Concha.
23:14The fascinating part of this is they portray him as a journalist.
23:19He has been a vile, vicious, liberal, leftist, partisan his entire time at ABC.
23:25So let's get rid of the pretense, shall we?
23:29Shall we?
23:30I would say that George probably feels four feet tall after that interview you just played,
23:34but he is almost four feet tall, Sean.
23:37So, you know, there's that.
23:38Do you know how many minutes that ABC News has devoted to Jay Jones's comments?
23:43The guy who's running for attorney general of Virginia?
23:45Zero.
23:46Who only wished death not only on his opponent?
23:48Yeah, exactly.
23:49His wife, his two very young children?
23:52Exactly.
23:53Zero minutes.
23:54It's an absolute joke.
23:55And Stepanopoulos was clearly triggered when Vice President Vance said in that last interview
24:00that he played, that he did on Sunday.
24:03Here, George, is why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility.
24:09Unquote.
24:09That did not sit well with this egomaniac you see on your screen to my left as far as George Stepanopoulos,
24:16who was, to your point, an attack dog for Bill Clinton.
24:19This guy literally established a war room against female accusers of Bill Clinton
24:24and threatened reporters by saying they'll never work in the industry again.
24:28That's a quote if they went ahead with the stories about his boss.
24:32And he disrespected J.D. Vance, the vice president, on several occasions because he knows when
24:38he's losing the argument, he simply goes to commercial because he's a partisan hack that
24:42cost his network $15 million when he lied about President Trump and the network was forced
24:48to settle a lawsuit as a result.
24:50It's amazing he still has a job outside of being a fundraiser for the DNC because that's
24:55what George Stepanopoulos should be doing at this point, Sean.
24:57Okay, but the point is, you know, he got all upset and apparently we read he was willing
25:03to quit because ABC, you know, had to settle a lawsuit with President Trump and he didn't
25:08like it because he was wrong on the facts.
25:10The facts were so evident to anybody that knew the issue.
25:15And it's like he's doubling down.
25:17I mean, that's like the ultimate cheap shot.
25:19Look, I never interviewed Obama and I always said to people when they'd ask, who would you
25:23like to interview?
25:23One of the people I would mention, I would have loved to interview Obama.
25:27However, I also knew that that would be a tough interview if he was the president because
25:33you got to respect the office.
25:35And you know what?
25:36The idea that you're going to say, okay, you're wrong.
25:39Okay.
25:39Coming up next doesn't fly.
25:43No, it does not fly.
25:44And ABC News, Sean, is run by Dana Walden.
25:48Who is that?
25:49She is literally best friends with Kamala Harris.
25:51She donated to her campaigns in California.
25:54So we might as well call ABC MS ABC at this point because that's what they are.
25:59Certainly not the network that once employed reasonable, objective journalists like Harry
26:03Reisner or Ted Koppel or Peter Jennings, who are literally turning over their brains right
26:09now from seeing what this network has become.
26:11Yeah.
26:11And Jennings, I mean, I probably would guess lean left, but he always presented the news
26:17objectively.
26:18I was young at the time, don't get me wrong, but I would watch and be like, that guy seems
26:22fair and we just don't see that anymore from ABC News in any capacity.
26:26This is the same network that includes The View, The View in its news division.
26:31And that's a whole bowl of wrong, Sean.
26:33That's a hard hitting news show.
26:34You need to give more credit, Joe.
26:36All right, Joe Concha, thank you.
26:37On a podcast episode released earlier today, former President Obama decided to weigh in
26:43on President Trump and his efforts to clean up crime in our cities, spinning Trump's efforts
26:48as inherently corrupting and how Trump is politicizing the U.S. military against Americans.
26:55Really?
26:55Take a look.
26:56That is inherently corrupting.
27:00And so when you now start seeing the politicization of the military, deliberately, right?
27:09We just landed in Chicago.
27:11Yeah.
27:11Scientists predict underwater volcano eruption 300 miles off Oregon.
27:29Scientists monitoring Axial Sea Mount says the deep sea volcano could erupt by late 2023
27:35for the first time since 2015.
27:37An underwater volcano off the Oregon coast could erupt later this year, scientists say.
27:44The volcano, known as Axial Sea Mount, is more than 4,900 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean
27:50and 300 miles off the Oregon coast.
27:53But it is showing signs it will soon erupt for the first time since 2015.
27:58The volcano is formed by a hotspot, an area in the Earth's mantle where hot plumes of molten
28:04material rise upwards into the crust of the University of Washington's College of Environment,
28:09said in an April blog post.
28:12As the crust moves over the top of the mantle, the hotspot stays put, which results in long
28:17chains of volcanoes over time.
28:21Over two-thirds of the Earth's surface was formed by volcanic eruptions at these mid-ocean
28:26ridges, said Myla Trotsky, a marine geologist and dean of the University College of Environment.
28:33Axial seamount is a direct result of these fundamental processes that continue to shape
28:37our planet today.
28:39The eruption doesn't pose a danger, scientists said.
28:43Axial seamount is much too deep and far from shore for people on land to even notice when
28:48it erupts.
28:49An eruption at axial seamount also has nothing to do with seismic activity on land, so Pacific
28:54north-westerners don't need to worry about this event triggering a major earthquake or
28:58tsunami, the blog also states.
29:02The first signs of eruption at the volcano will be a sharp increase in the number of earthquakes
29:07around it, the post states.
29:09The volcano has already surpassed the inflation we observed in 2015, but the earthquake activity
29:15is still quite low, said Deborah Kelley, a professor at UW School of Oceanography and director
29:21of the Regional Cabled Array.
29:24We're seeing 200 to 300 earthquakes per day, with some spikes around 1,000 per day due to
29:29the tides.
29:30If what we learned in 2015 is correct, I would expect to see more than 2,000 per day for a
29:35few months before the eruption.
29:38The earthquakes will be caused by magna moving towards the surface, the post states.
29:43The period lasts about an hour, and then the magma reaches the surface, said William Wilcock,
29:49a professor at UW School of Oceanography.
29:52Lava flow spreads across the cauldra, and lava-filled fissures open up to the north or the south, reaching
30:00as far as 40 kilometres, about 25 miles.
30:04The seismic activity dies down pretty quick over the next few days, but the eruption will
30:08continue slowly for about a month.
30:13Utah cold case served 40 years after 18-year-old woman's murder, thanks to DNA sample police
30:23salis.
30:26DNA connects deceased Air Force airman to 1985 murder of Christine Gallagher.
30:31A man who murdered an 18-year-old woman in Utah four decades ago has finally been identified,
30:38authority said Tuesday.
30:40Christine Gallagher was found dead on May 16, 1985, along Jefferson Street in Salt Lake City.
30:47The Salt Lake City Police Department said she had been beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted,
30:52and shot to death near an area known as Dirk's Field.
30:55Detectives were unable to find any leads despite years of investigative efforts and multiple
31:02rounds of forensic testing.
31:04The case went cold and remained so until 2023 when advances in DNA and genealogical testing
31:10were connected to the case to a man named Ricky Lee Stolworth.
31:15Stolworth was a 27-year-old airman stationed at Hill Air Force Base at the time of Gallagher's
31:21murder, according to police. He died naturally of natural causes in July 2023.
31:27We missed being able to talk to him and interview him just by a matter of months,
31:31Detective Corden Park said at a news conference on Thursday.
31:35I wish we could have got to him before he died.
31:39Stolworth was first named a likely suspect after the case was re-examined in 2023 with efforts
31:44focused on identifying an unknown male DNA profile that had been previously entered into the combined
31:49DNA index system, a database of DNA profiles from convicted offenders, unsolved crime scene
31:55evidence, and missing persons.
32:00Authorarm Labs in the Woodlands, Texas, came up with a likely match after detectives sent evidence
32:05to the lab in late 2023 for advanced DNA analysis.
32:08One of Stolworth's family members then provided detectives with a voluntary DNA sample which police
32:16said confirmed Stolworth as a match.
32:21Park said an investigation into Stolworth revealed him to be sort of a state street stalker.
32:28Even though he was married, he would tell his spouses that he was going out for the night,
32:33Park said. He would leave late in the night and he wouldn't come back until early, early in the
32:38next morning. Detectives said a motive remains unclear and any potential relationship between
32:44Galgaels and Stolworth remains unanswered. Investigators have said it was very obvious that
32:50Galgaels struggled with the suspect before he was shot and stabbed.
32:54She left a blood trail up to the gutter of Jefferson Street, Park said.
33:02Galgaels' mother, Leigh, thanked investigators for never giving up on resolving the case.
33:10You never quit thinking about it. You never quit crying about it, Leigh Galgaels said when
33:16reporters asked about memories of her daughter.
33:18I wonder about the kids that she would have had, she added. She was outgoing, she was sweet,
33:25they took so much away when they took her away.
33:30UTA State Bureau of Investigation agent Steve O'Kam said he hoped that identifying the killer
33:36would bring the family closure. Handcuffs, however, do not equal healing, O'Kam said.
33:43The resolution of Christine's case is a prime example. We weren't able to arrest the
33:48suspect but hopefully we achieved some measure of justice for her and the family and friends that loved her.
