00:00The clock is ticking and the money is running out. With just hours to go, the U.S. government is on track to shut down tonight.
00:08Plus, hostages freed, guns silenced, a deal on the table. Trump reveals a peace plan for Gaza.
00:14But will Hamas stick to the script? And caught on camera, then cleared.
00:18The ICE officer who shoved a migrant woman stays on the job.
00:24The stories that matter, clear and credible, from across the country to around the world.
00:30These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow News.
00:36Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli. This morning, with less than 24 hours to go, a government shutdown is looking more and more likely.
00:43The Senate is still deadlocked, with a standoff mostly centered on health care.
00:47A White House meeting yesterday between President Trump and congressional leaders did little to break the logjam.
00:53Democrats are demanding an extension of health care subsidies,
00:55while Republicans want to extend current funding levels for another seven weeks.
01:00And though the government is still open, both sides are already pointing fingers.
01:05Democrats are fighting to protect the health care of the American people.
01:10And we are not going to support a partisan Republican spending bill
01:15that continues to gut the health care of everyday Americans.
01:20Period. Full stop.
01:22This is purely and simply hostage-taking on behalf of the Democrats.
01:28The Republicans are united.
01:30House Republicans, Senate Republicans, President Trump.
01:34The House has passed a clean funding resolution to fund the government until November the 21st.
01:38Vice President J.D. Vance, who was also at the meeting, said a shutdown now seems inevitable,
01:44because, in his words, the Democrats won't do the right thing.
01:47To avoid a shutdown, Congress must get a bill to President Trump before midnight tonight.
01:53If a shutdown occurs, agency heads or managers must determine which personnel are essential.
01:59Military members and federal police, government hospital workers, air traffic controllers,
02:04and TSA agents will all continue to work.
02:07A potential breakthrough in Gaza this morning.
02:10President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing support
02:14for a U.S.-brokered deal to end the war.
02:16Standing side-by-side at a White House press conference, the two leaders called it a path to peace,
02:22even as major questions remain.
02:25I hope that we're going to have a deal for peace.
02:30And if Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible, they're the only one left.
02:35Everyone else has accepted it.
02:37But I have a feeling that we're going to have a positive answer.
02:41The 20-point proposal includes an immediate ceasefire, hostage releases within 72 hours,
02:49and a phased Israeli pull-out of Gaza, if Hamas disarms and agrees to safe exile for its leaders.
02:55Netanyahu praised the plan with some caveats.
02:57Your plan provides a practical and realistic path forward for Gaza in the coming years,
03:04in which Gaza will be administered neither by Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority,
03:10but by those committed to a genuine peace with Israel.
03:15I think this can be not only a new beginning for Gaza,
03:18I think it can be a new beginning for the entire region.
03:23But Israel insists on keeping a long-term security presence in Gaza,
03:27and Hamas has not yet signed on to the offer.
03:30A senior official with the group told Al Jazeera the proposal, quote,
03:34leans toward the Israeli view, but says they'll review it in good faith.
03:38The Palestinian Islamic Jihad slammed the proposal as, quote,
03:42a recipe to blow up the region.
03:44While U.S. officials say it's the best shot yet at ending years of bloodshed,
03:48Trump said if Hamas does not accept the terms,
03:51Israel would have his full backing to finish the job of destroying Hamas.
03:56President Trump is adding more tariffs to the list,
03:58this time taking aim at wood, furniture, even movies.
04:02On Monday, President Trump signed a proclamation saying the U.S. will start charging a 10 percent tariff
04:08on foreign software lumber and timber, which are used in a wide variety of building materials.
04:13He also announced a 25 percent tariff on kitchen cabinets,
04:17vanities, and upholstered wooden furniture.
04:19Those tariffs take effect October 14th and go even higher in the new year,
04:2450 percent on cabinets and 30 percent on furniture starting January 1st.
04:28Industry analysts warn the moves could push up lumber costs and, as a result, housing prices.
04:34And that's not all.
04:35In a Truth Social post, Trump said he will also impose a 100 percent tariff
04:40on any movie made outside the United States,
04:43claiming the movie-making business has been stolen from the U.S.
04:46A controversial ICE officer captured on video pushing a woman to the ground
04:51outside an immigration court in New York is back on duty this morning, according to CBS News.
04:57Two officials familiar with the matter told CBS the officer was reinstated after a preliminary review,
05:02despite an earlier statement from the Department of Homeland Security condemning the conduct as unacceptable
05:08and denouncing the officer had been relieved of his duties pending an investigation.
05:13The incident, which went viral last week, shows a visibly distraught Ecuadorian woman
05:17confronting ICE officers as they detained her husband outside 26 Federal Plaza.
05:22In one clip, the officer is seen grabbing the woman's hair
05:25and later shoving her to the ground in front of her children,
05:28while repeatedly saying adios.
05:30YouTube has agreed to pay the Trump administration $24.5 million
05:35to settle a lawsuit stemming from the platform's suspension of Trump's account
05:40following the January 6th Capitol riot.
05:43President Trump sued YouTube in 2021, claiming the ban violated his First Amendment rights.
05:49The platform restored his account two years later, in 2023.
05:53YouTube's parent company, Alphabet, called the claims meritless,
05:56arguing that being forced to host Trump's content
05:59would infringe on the platform's own rights.
06:02Under the settlement, $22 million will fund a new 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House,
06:07a personal priority for Trump, along with restoration projects on the National Mall.
06:12He called the settlement a massive victory.
06:14Another $2.5 billion will be distributed to other plaintiffs,
06:18who claimed their YouTube accounts were unfairly removed,
06:21including the American Conservative Union.
06:23Finally this morning, a blast from the fast food past.
06:27McDonald's Monopoly is back, but this time, it's gone digital.
06:32Uh-oh, this is going to be complicated, isn't it?
06:34After a 10-year hiatus, the beloved Monopoly game is making a comeback at McDonald's.
06:39Just like before, order a menu item with a game piece,
06:42peel off the sticker, and see what you've won.
06:44But now, you can scan your stickers into the McDonald's app
06:48to track properties on a digital board,
06:51or redeem prizes right from your phone.
06:54Some prizes are collect-to-win, meaning you'll need a full color set.
06:58Others are instant winners.
06:59Yeah, yeah, I like that.
07:00You give me a free fry, I'm going right back up to the counter and cashing it in.
07:05Anyways, the game officially kicks off Monday, October 6th,
07:08but pre-registration is open now in the McDonald's app.
07:12I mean, it does kind of rope you in,
07:15and I'm one of those type of people that,
07:17I still think I have those subway cards
07:20where you collect eight stamps for a six-inch free sub.
07:23So put me down as a fan of McDonald's Monopoly.
07:27All right, before we head out, here's what we're tracking today.
07:29This morning, President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
07:32address hundreds of military officials at a Marine base in Quantico, Virginia,
07:36in an abrupt closed-door meeting.
07:38At 10, the new Consumer Confidence Report drops.
07:41Along with the Labor Department's most recent look at job openings and turnover.
07:46Then, at 11.59 tonight, two big deadlines.
07:49Congress must pass a funding bill to avoid a government shutdown.
07:53And it's also the last day to lock in a $7,500 federal tax credit
07:57on new electric vehicles before the tax break expires on October 1st.
