00:01A massive memorial for Charlie Kirk.

00:03The voices, the tributes, and the promise his movement will carry on.

00:08None of us will ever forget Charlie Kirk, and neither now will history.

00:15Plus, a diplomatic earthquake.

00:17Britain, Canada, Australia, and more now recognizing Palestine as a state.

00:22Now Israel responds.

00:24And President Trump promises a historic autism announcement,

00:28a warning on Tylenol.

00:30Plus, a new drug that could treat it.

00:34The stories that matter, clear and credible,

00:37from across the country to around the world.

00:40These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow News.

00:46Hello everyone, I'm Kaylee Carey, in today for Craig Negrelli.

00:51We begin with a memorial for slain conservative activists

00:54and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

00:57Drawing tens of thousands of supporters, including President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.

01:03Kirk was remembered as a martyr by speakers ranging from the president and vice president

01:08to his widow Erica and other prominent conservatives.

01:11They praise his faith and his mission to move American politics further to the right.

01:17You know, I can't help but think that they tried to silence my friend Charlie Kirk.

01:25They tried to silence our dear friend Charlie Kirk.

01:28And today, tonight, we speak with Charlie and for Charlie louder than ever.

01:35He transformed the face of conservatism in our own time.

01:40And in doing so, he changed the course of American history.

01:44Trump called Kirk an American hero, crediting him with helping deliver the 2024 election

01:50and saying his killing was an attack on the nation itself.

01:54He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose.

02:00He did not hate his opponents.

02:02He wanted the best for them.

02:05That's where I disagreed with Charlie.

02:07I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them.

02:12I'm sorry.

02:14The gun was pointed at him, but the bullet was aimed at all of us.

02:18That bullet was aimed at every one of us.

02:20But it was Erica Kirk who delivered the most emotional remarks,

02:25even extending forgiveness to her husband's killer.

02:27That man, I forgive him.

02:38I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do.

02:47The answer to hate is not hate.

02:51The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love.

02:55The 31-year-old Kirk was shot and killed on September 10th while speaking at Utah Valley University.

03:03The suspect, a 22-year-old man, has been charged with aggravated murder.

03:08Now to a major diplomatic shift.

03:11Three of America's closest allies, Britain, Canada, and Australia,

03:15have formally recognized a state of Palestine.

03:17France is expected to follow today at the UN, and Portugal has already joined them.

03:22The announcements come amid growing outrage over Israel's war in Gaza,

03:26where health officials say more than 65,000 Palestinians have been killed since 2023.

03:32British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the move is meant to revive hope for a two-state solution,

03:38while Canada and Australia made similar declarations in rapid secession.

03:42We are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a two-state solution.

03:51That means a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian state.

03:58At the moment, we have neither.

04:02Israel's reaction was swift.

04:04Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a Palestinian state will not be established,

04:09calling the decision a, quote, reward for terror.

04:11At the UN, more than 140 countries have now recognized Palestinian statehood,

04:17but the United States is in budging.

04:19The Trump administration remains firmly opposed,

04:22vowing to veto any push for full Palestinian membership at the UN Security Council.

04:28New tensions with the Taliban,

04:30and it centers on one of the most symbolic bases of America's longest war.

04:34The Taliban on Sunday rejected President Trump's bid to retake Bagram Air Base

04:39four years after the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan.

04:42Trump said this weekend, the U.S. is talking to Afghanistan about getting it back,

04:47and warned in a post that if they don't cooperate, quote,

04:49bad things are going to happen.

04:52The Taliban fired back, calling the comments unrealistic and saying,

04:55seeding even an inch of their soil is impossible.

04:58Bagram has been a symbol of America's exit,

05:01with the Taliban last year staging a military parade there using abandoned U.S. hardware.

05:07Trump has hammered former President Biden for that chaotic withdrawal,

05:11and now says America needs a footprint back in Afghanistan.

05:15The Trump administration is set to make a major announcement today on autism.

05:20Reports say federal health officials will warn pregnant women against using Tylenol,

05:25also known as acetaminophen, except for high fevers.

05:29The guidance comes after studies suggest a possible link to autism.

05:32The president hinted at the move last night while speaking at Charlie Kirk's memorial.

05:37It was Charlie who helped unite MAGA, and you know what M-A-H-A is?

05:45That's right, make America healthy again.

05:49And tomorrow we're going to have one of the biggest announcements,

05:53really medically, I think, in the history of our country.

05:57We're going to be doing it with Bobby and Oz and all of the professionals.

06:03I think you're going to find it to be amazing.

06:07I think we found an answer to autism.

06:10How about that? Autism.

06:13Politico reports Trump will also spotlight Leucovorin,

06:16a drug usually prescribed for cancer and anemia,

06:19as a potential new treatment for autism.

06:22New questions this morning about how the Justice Department

06:25handled a secret sting operation involving President Trump's border czar.

06:29MSNBC was first to report that Tom Homan was recorded back in 2024,

06:34accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents posing as businessmen.

06:41The agents claim he agreed to help them land government contracts if Trump won the election.

06:46The case began under the Biden administration, but was shut down soon after Trump took office.

06:52The New York Times reports that FBI Director Cash Battelle and Todd Blanche,

06:56the deputy attorney general, said in a statement they found no credible evidence of wrongdoing

07:01and that Homan never held contract authority.

07:04But critics say it raises serious questions about whether the Justice Department is being used

07:09to protect Trump's inner circle.

07:12And finally this morning, astronomers have discovered a new quasimoon orbiting Earth

07:16that may have gone unnoticed for decades.

07:19A quasimoon is a space rock that appears to orbit a planet, but really orbits the sun.

07:24This one, dubbed 2025N7, moves in step with Earth, taking a year to complete its loop around the sun.

07:31At about 50 feet across, PN7 may be the smallest quasimoon ever found.

07:37Its origin is still a mystery, unlike some nearby asteroids that come from the belt between Mars

07:41and Jupiter or from debris knocked off our own moon.

07:45And this won't be around forever.

07:47Scientists say PN7 will likely drift away in the next 60 years.

07:51Before we head out, here's what we're tracking today.

07:55At 1230, NASA introduces its newest astronauts and engineers,

07:59chosen from more than 8,000 applicants, and set to help chart the next missions to the moon.

08:04At 1, the gunman accused of opening fire at a New Hampshire country club Saturday night faces a judge.

08:10At 4, Trump will make remarks on autism.

08:13He'll head to the U.N. in New York later today, ahead of his speech tomorrow.

08:17And tonight, Mecklenburg County Republicans hold a candlelight vigil at the light rail station

08:22where Irina Zarutska was fatally stabbed last month.
