But before the handshakes came, the shoving as Chinese officials fought U. S. Security over camera placement onto the South Lawn. Joining us now live is NTD White House correspondent Iris Tao. Good evening, Iris. What happened during Xi's visit today? Good to see you as well, Kerry. President Trump today hosting Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping here at the White House, and it comes amid tensions over trade fentanyl rare earth minerals as well as concerns about human rights. Here's the president speaking earlier today. This is our first time meeting together here at the White House. And as President Xi has already seen, a lot has changed since he was last here. And President Trump saying that on the top of their agenda is security, technology and super intelligence. The president has been emphasizing over the past few days and weeks they need to stay ahead of China when it comes to AI. And just before the meeting, he posted on true social saying that while super intelligence as he calls it now will be a major topic during today's meetings, he says he's not pushing for major changes to current regulations and that he, quote, wants to leave it exactly where it is. Aside from the A. I. Race ongoing between China and the U. S. Intentions over trade also remain. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson announcing just a day before today's meeting that so called Busan trade truce will be now extending to January 10th, which was set to expire on November 10th. No actual trade agreement, though, has been announced so far. It also comes as Chinese regime leader Xi rolls out China's soft power playbook, vowing to invite 100,000 young Americans to study and China also sent two pandas to the U. S. G. O. P. Senators still warning about the malicious intent behind the Chinese Communist Party. Watch. I understand that Trump has to be diplomatic, but she's a despicable person that just killing us with fentanyl build the military to try to defeat us. You know, the president is in a tough position. He has to be diplomatic. I mean, you know, we're dealing with we, you know, prior presidents and put us in a position that we were short on rare earth minerals and things like that. So he's got to work through this. But the American public also has to wake up and say, Stop buying Chinese crap. Everything today was choreographed in the Chinese side. Really want to control not only the image, but also the narrative here on American soil as some clashes happened even before the two leaders had to appear for the greetings and also the Chinese delegation clashing with the Secret Service and the American press during the arrival ceremony over camera positions. Here's a couple of that White House, and I'm right here. He could be right. We are from delegation. I am delegation. I'm not. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is I am the White House. He's right by me. I'm not in the center. I'm right here. On the phone, you're stepping on my feet. The confrontation happening, not just outside, but also inside inside a briefing room today and to be captured a moment when a Chinese photographer was shoving a female American reporter as Chinese photographers were rushing in toward the Oval Office bilaterals from the briefing room door much yeah. And as some might recall, similar clashes happened when President Trump was back in Beijing during his visit between Chinese security personnel and White House wranglers. He got so 10 sad clips of those clashes went viral on the Internet. Meanwhile, tonight, a formal state dinner with the two delegations, but also with business leaders, including, for example, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang. And tomorrow there will be a private tea between Trump and she and also a tour of the National Archives between she wraps up his three day visit back to you. All right. Very meta. When reporters become the actual story, Iris Tao at the White House. Thank you. And next demonstrations all throughout Washington, D. C. Today, calling for an end to China's religious oppression, standing resolutely with bright banners in hand at the U. S. Navy Memorial Plaza. Practitioners of fallen Dafa and other voices of solidarity are sending a message. The persecution of their faith needs to end. Here's entities. Fiona G. It has been over 27 years since the persecution of Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, began in China today with Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping here in Washington, D. C. Practitioners of Falun Dafa are standing up and saying this persecution needs to end right now. The persecution of Fallen Gong has not ended for, you know, over 20 years, and so it it has to end. It must end. Falun Dafa is a spiritual practice rooted in Buddhist tradition and holds the core principles of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance introduced to the public in China in 1992. It quickly spread in popularity. It is estimated that 100 million people practiced Falun Dafa in China in 1998, and today it has spread to over 100 countries worldwide. Its teachings emphasize morality and self improvement. It also consists of meditation and gentle exercises, which many say help improve their health and wellness. I used to drink. I used to party a lot, and, you know, I just I just stopped all that after about three months, and I found peace. But fearing its popularity, the Chinese Communist Party began a violent persecution of Fallen Dafa in 1999 and has not stopped since. Practitioners face illegal imprisonment, slave labor, torture, live organ harvesting and death. This has got to stop. This is an atrocity. In this century, something like that could happen. It's just insane. And we know that thousands and thousands of Falun Gong have been murdered for their organs by the Chinese government. To impress upon the Falun Gong these extreme forms of persecution and violence, it's just blatantly evil. It's a denial of humanity. Oh, it's horrible. I mean, I, you know, I cry about it. I lose sleep about it. It's it's very sad. Congress recognizes the urgent need to end this persecution and has taken steps to address it on a national and global scale. I've been so proud in leading this bipartisan Falun Gong Protection Act, which really pushes back and makes clear this behavior is unacceptable and that there are consequences for it. So we need to pass that bill. We need to get the president to sign that bill. And in the face of all this pressure, a hope for freedom on the horizon. Know that there are hundreds of millions of Americans that stand with you, that support your freedom, that are working hard to get to secure your freedom, myself included. Personally, religious freedom cannot be marginalized. It really must be brought to the center of these conversations. There's hope we are gonna stop this, and it's very close to being stopped. So don't just keep your faith and have hope. Religious freedom is a human right, and human rights must be upheld, especially in the face of oppression. Reporting from Washington, D. C. Fiona G. And T. D. News. And now we welcome Adam Savitt. He's director of China Policy at the America First Policy Institute. He's also a former senior national security advisor for the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Adam, thank you so much for joining us this evening. Ah, lot to jump into many angles with your background, though, at the U. S. D. A. Can you share a bit about the Chinese not honoring the previous deal to buy U. S. Foreign products and whether you think this will impact today's negotiations? Sure. Well, not honoring deals is standard operating procedure for the C. C. P. As of last year, they promised to buy 25 million tons of American soybeans per year. Eso as of this year, they purchased about half of that. Of course, we're past half of the year. We're getting into October here, so they're behind. And when they do purchase it, it sort of in bursts, you know, synchronized to these summits. So it's definitely a political instrument of political play. They're sort of playing games here. We haven't gotten a firm commitment. Interesting thing about timing. We're now in the fall in the northern hemisphere, of course, and our soybeans are being harvested right now. If China's gonna buy those soybeans, they have a few weeks to a month or a couple months in order to do that. After that, they mainly outsourced to Brazil and to some extent Argentina in the southern hemisphere. Eso our time is running out here in the northern hemisphere. They're gonna have to buy that now. And actually, that gives President Trump leverage because they need to make that. All right. And Treasury Secretary Besant said that the trade truce was extended for two months. How do you interpret the extension and what it means for the negotiations? People need to understand this is an absolute victory for the United States. Okay, for context, over the weekend, Secretary Besant and Ambassador Greer were calling for a three to six month truce. China was calling for a two year truce, two plus years to the end of the Trump administration. And that's because exactly the same M. O. They want to play games. They want to run out the clock, right? They don't want actual accountability. This two months gives us accountability to check. For example, uh, there's been a recent assessment that they've only been coming through on two thirds of their rare earth exports that they promised. Is that a glitch? Is that a blip? Is that on purpose? What are they doing with that? This gives us time to evaluate and have a marker rather than waiting two years to the end of the term. So this is very important, and it's a positive. Yeah, when you hear two months, you may think that that's a bad thing. But when you put it in context to what the Chinese side is trying to get, you can see how it is a victory. And I want to move to these demonstrations that are taking place, protesting the regime's human rights abuses in China. We've seen pro CCP agitators get involved in the past, and we also saw their behavior right there in the press pool. So how do you think law enforcement is handling things so far, keeping these protesters safe from aggression and transnational repression? I think they're doing a great job, you know, and and the most recent precedent was the last time she was in the United States. That was San Francisco, November of 23 under the Biden administration, the APEC summit. The San Francisco and Los Angeles consulates had systematic United Front action on the streets committing violence against the Tibetans, Uyghurs, Falun Gong, all those protesters. This is different this time. The biggest thing is top down. The State Department actually put out a tweet saying, You know what? If you are agitating on behalf of a foreign power, if you are committing crimes in the streets, you can have your visa revoked. The DHS and the DOJ said, Hey, reminder, if you're acting on behalf of a foreign government, you need to register under Farah, the Foreign Agent Registration Act. So that is the administration being clear that you will be held accountable. If basically, you know, this is a this is a violation of sovereignty. This is not only a crime, you know, in the traditional on the street sense, I will say I've been working inside most of the day, but I am about a block from the White House. I did walk around outside a little bit. You know, you got the proceeds to be demonstrators. They should be able to demonstrate. When I was out there, there was a large group of Tibetan demonstrators. Things were getting heated. There was some yelling. The police were keeping them apart. I did not see any physical scuffles, actually, at least in my area. So I think they're doing a great job. Okay. And do you expect that the president to move on back to trade? Is he going to utilize any of the 100% tariffs that he's been granted authority to use by the bipartisan Congress? Right. So that's the so that's the recent act that covers the major importers of Russian oil and gas. And, of course, since the Ukraine war with the European market gone, China has been the major backfiller of that Russian oil and gas. Will he use it? I mean, it's not for certain, but the fact that he has it in his quiver, it puts China on notice. He, of course, he also has other options. In the meantime, there's Section 301 investigations. That's for unfair trade practices. That's still ongoing for several countries, including China. So depending on the findings of that investigation of the U. S. Trade representative, those could be applied as well. So I'd say this adds another very powerful tool. The president is unpredictable. As we know, that's part of his one of the bonuses to his leadership. All right. Well, Adam Sabat, thank you so much for joining. Thanks very much. And the Trump administration is cracking down on birth tourism, restricting visas from those who enable the practice. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is calling it a clear message to foreigners who try to exploit the immigration system and to these Molina Weiss Cup reports. Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives a stern warning to those who seek to exploit the U. S. Immigration system. His department is moving to restrict visas of those who engage in or profit from birth tourism that is coming into the U. S. Solely to have a child who will gain automatic citizenship, Rubio said in a statement to Fox News on Wednesday. We're sending a clear message. The United States will not allow foreigners to exploit our immigration system and violate the sanctity of U. S. Citizenship. President Trump in August signed an executive order to ban birth tourism. Hundreds of thousands. You have one man came in with the family had said he had 56 Children. Another one came in. They said they had 98 Children. This was not what it was for. This was meant for the babies of slaves. It was it was right after one week or two weeks after the civil war ended. The new visa restrictions come days after a Houston birth tourism center was shut down. Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton sued the die postpartum care center in April. Give birth here so that their child now can have dual citizenship. And we've been seeing it from Chinese nationalists. There's a reason why under the first Trump administration, they actually had to close down the embassy in Houston. Paxton said the center unlawfully facilitated over 1000 births to foreign Chinese nationals. He warned that birthright citizenship is a scam that threatens national security and says, I will do everything in my power to stop unlawful birth tourism schemes like this one. The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress are prioritizing the issue. FBI Director Kash Patel last week told senators he's asked for more resources to combat the threat because we want the United States of America to be open for legal immigration and not for illegal immigration. And before leaving for recess, the G. O. P. Controlled House Oversight Committee investigated a Miami doctor accused of promoting birth tourism. Does your business help Children of members of the Chinese Communist Party obtain American citizenship on the advice of counsel? I respectfully declined to answer the question on the grounds that are truthful. Senators have introduced a bill to codify the president's executive order. Reporting from Washington D. C.

Leticia James suing Polly Market, the New York AG, arguing that the prediction market platform amounts to an unlicensed gambling operation. James filed her petition in state court in Manhattan months after bringing similar cases against rivals Kalshi, Gemini and Coinbase. Now, the lawsuits accuse the platforms of operating without required licenses from the New York State Gaming Commission. James also alleges that the platforms encourage problem gambling, particularly among those under 21. Prediction markets allow users to bet on the outcomes of sports, elections and other events. The platforms have argued that states lack the authority to regulate them because they are regulated at the federal level by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In a statement, Polly Market's chief legal officer said that the company would fight for its users. And Attorney General Todd Blanche brought together federal law enforcement officials and families who lost loved ones to violent crimes which involve illegal immigrants. They discussed immigration enforcement at a new $25 million grant to combat violent crime entities. Christina Corona has more. The Justice Department brought victims and their families together with top federal officials in Washington to discuss violent crime. The families included people who lost loved ones in crimes involving illegal immigrants. I will spend every day of this administration fighting for angel moms and dads, fighting for victims of alien crime. And until the day I die, I will never give up on finding the remaining 143,000 children that are still missing in this country. Homan says the administration will target sanctuary cities and surge resources. Their families who lost loved ones to illegal immigrants also shared their testimonies. A man charged with killing my Sheridan had entered the United States unlawfully during the Biden administration. He was apprehended at the border and released under their open border fiasco, even though he had no valid asylum claim. On March 28, 2025, my daughter, Chrissa, was hit by an unlicensed, uninsured driver in Aurora, Colorado. The driver was in the country illegally. She crossed the border in 2023 and released into the country under the Biden administration. The Justice Department also announced new resources for local law enforcement. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced a $25 million angel grant targeting violent crime involving criminal illegal aliens. This money is going to state and local prosecutors, agents, cops, tribal leaders who are going to do the work that we're talking about. So, um, removing violent offenders from our removing illegal aliens from our country. The funding can support arrests, investigations and prosecutions, including cases involving drug and human trafficking. Officials say the goal is to strengthen public safety and prevent more families from suffering similar losses. Christina Corona and T. D. News. And after the event, Yanya Kellick, senior editor with the Epoch Times, sat down with borders are Tom Homan for an in depth interview. They discussed the administration's immigration policies, including securing the border, deporting illegal immigrants and locating missing Children. Here's a sneak peek. A lot of angel families are in the audience. I recognize many of them. I've met my friends with them. That's number one reason I fight so hard. No matter how many times you hear their stories, you can't. You can't absorb it without emotion. And what makes it so difficult? It was a totally preventable crime if they weren't here. If the border wasn't wide open, if we didn't have sanctuary cities because many of the victims, these angel moms and dads, the illegal alien that took your child's life was arrested in a sanctuary city. But rather than calling ice and honoring our detainer that we placed with them, they release them back to the street and they killed their child child. They deserve the attention of this administration, and I give him all the attention I can give him that full interview will be released this Saturday at five p.m. Eastern on YouTube and Epoch TV.

I'm pleased to support President Trump's nomination and look forward to Dr Overton's swift confirmation. Senator Baldwin questioned Overton on the abortion pill drug Mifepristone. Do you believe Mifepristone is safe and effective? Senator, according to FDA standards, the drug is safe and effective as labeled today with the appropriate risk evaluation mitigation strategy. Overton was also probed about previous statements made calling Mifepristone dangerous to women. Specific to that publication in 23 was at a time after a change was made at the FDA and how that medication was accessed. Overton was questioned about the safety of MMR vaccines. Is the MMR vaccine safe and effective? Yes, Senator. The MMR vaccine is safe and effective, and it is our best tool right now in the public health response to the measles outbreak.

When we lose this advantage, we lose our health security. Overton expressed that this is a nonpartisan issue that must be reversed. Reporting in Washington D. C. Jason Blair and T. D. News. New developments in the White House press ban involving three major media outlets, CNN, M. S. Now and Politico say that their reporters have now been allowed back into the White House hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore their access. President Trump announced the ban last Friday, accusing the three outlets of what he called their quote constant reporting of fake news. Their press credentials were revoked the following day. The outlets challenged the ban in court, arguing that it violated their constitutional rights. Following a hearing yesterday, U. S. District Judge Timothy Kelly issued a temporary restraining order requiring the White House to restore their access for 14 days. Now, the judge cited two earlier court rulings establishing due process protections for journalists whose White House credentials are revoked. Now, the Trump administration argues those cases were wrongly decided. The three outlets have since regained access, but their legal challenge to the ban continues. And coming up as President Trump meets with Xi Jinping, several Americans want him to confront Beijing over a persecution hitting their own families. Their loved ones have been detained, tortured and killed for practicing their faith. Jack Bradley has more and delegates walking out of the U. N.

As President Trump meets with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, the decades long persecution of Falun Gong is looming over the summit for American families with loved ones detained in China. This is personal. NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has more. As President Trump sits down with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, several Americans want him to bring up a persecution that has lasted for more than two decades. Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice based on truthfulness, compassion and tolerance. The Chinese Communist Party saw its widespread popularity as a threat to its power and in 1999 launched an all out persecution against its practitioners and their families, which continues today. It was not the first time she has been arrested. It's the fifth time. Alyssa Joe is a U. S. Citizen living in Maryland. Her mother, Wang Youmei, was arrested in Wuhan in April for practicing Falun Gong. She remains in prison and her family and mom's lawyer are denied visits. I'm deeply worried about her safety. Grace Chen has a similar story. She came to the U. S. From China at age 15 to study music and she now serves in the U. S. Army. But in 2020 Chinese authorities arrested her parents for studying Falun Gong teachings at a friend's house. I lost all the contact with them and I will receive phone call nor mails and I don't know where they were and how they were doing. After they were released a few years later, Chen learned that her father had been beaten and tortured in They deprived my dad's sleep like two days straight and didn't let my dad go to a restaurant and forced him to drink urine. Chen says she hasn't seen her parents in six years and continues to worry for their safety. And one of the most famous cases is that of human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng. He represented Christians and Falun Gong practitioners in China and publicly documented how they were persecuted. His once top law firm was shut down. He was imprisoned and then disappeared in 2017. No one has seen or heard from him since for Alyssa Joe Grace Chen and the millions of families like theirs. This summit between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi is more than just about U. S. China relations. It's about whether their loved ones will ever come home. Jack Bradley N. T. D. News Washington. And as Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping meets with President Trump, D. C. Is buzzing with activity from the many people harmed by the regime. As we just saw from Jack, we're now joined by Zeba Murad. She is daughter of imprisoned Uyghur physician Dr Gulshan Abbas. See, but first, our deepest sympathies to you and your family in regards to this ordeal you're going through. Can you please tell us about the plight of your mother? And I believe we have some audio issues, so we're gonna get that resolved and we'll be right back to you. And while we wait to get that audio resolved, our next story, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the U. N. General Assembly today. He says Israel has been fighting a seven front war the last three years. And to these, Jason Perry has the details. Many people seen leaving their seats before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U. N. General Assembly on Thursday. Netanyahu explains that Israel has been involved in a seven front war for the past three years. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran, militias in Iraq, militias in Syria, Palestinian terrorists in Judea, Samaria. They all ganged up on us to wipe us off the face of the earth. They failed. And he said, quote, With our great American friends, we crushed Iran's army, Navy, Air Force and nuclear facilities because if we hadn't done it, we'd all be dead. Now you want to hear the ultimate irony and defending itself. Israel is also also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall. Netanyahu also speaking on the accomplishments of the Israel Defense Forces. Israel hammered Hamas. We pummeled Hezbollah. You remember the beepers? Remember these things? Remember them? Well, I can tell you this. Hezbollah certainly remembers them. However, Netanyahu explains the conflict continues. Two days ago in Judea, Samaria, a reserve officer, a reserve soldier, Nerea lighter, was mowed down by drive down terrorist, Palestinian terrorist. He's fighting for his life now in a Jerusalem hospital. Netanyahu then saying, quote, There is an eighth front to this war. It's the war for truth. Netanyahu said multiple countries have spent billions to spread lies about Israel. Jason Perry in T. D. News and Russia today, responding to the American invitation President Vladimir Putin to attend the next G 20 summit and Ukraine gives an update on North Korean soldiers it captured into these international correspondent. Harry Pasdar has the latest on the war. Recently, we sent to North Korean prisoners of war to the Republic of Korea for the first time since the start of the war. Ukraine confirmed sending two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea. Kiev didn't provide details, but the soldiers most likely made that decision themselves. Ukraine previously said it would give the North Korean soldiers that option. Instead of sending them back to the dictatorship, these guys are not easy to capture a life. One of them went here, realized he was he was going to be taken. Prisoner tried try to kill himself, and he was shocked that fate didn't let him die. South Korea says it can't confirm the arrival in order to protect the families of the soldiers. And Russia responds to an American invitation for President Vladimir Putin to attend the next G 20 summit. It is premature to speak about this right now. No decision has been made yet. We certainly appreciate this kind invitation. We value it, and it will be reviewed and coordinated after which an appropriate decision will be reached. The U. S. Announced invitation Wednesday. No poll on Thursday criticized the move, saying the invitation would encourage Russian aggression. But the U. S. Says diplomacy and talks are the only ways to end the war. But for now, the fighting continues. Ukrainian officials say six civilians are dead after a Russian attack on a farm in Ukraine's northern Kharkiv region and in the capital city, Kiev. Two civilians are reported dead after Russia launched multiple hypersonic and ballistic missiles. Early Thursday, Russia has intensified its air campaign against Ukrainian recent months, leading Kiev to asking for more air defense system from its partners. Arian pasta and TV news in Australia's defense minister confirms F 35 fighter jet parts his country sent to the U. S. Ended up in Hong Kong, he says. Australia will assist the U. S. And Lockheed as they We've been made aware in the proper course of events, and we're obviously working with the United States and with Lockheed in terms of how we can assist in in this investigation. But this is ultimately a matter for the U. S. And for Lockheed as its prime contractor and the contractor, which is responsible for managing the global supply chain. Freedom in Hong Kong has been slowly diminishing in recent years, with Beijing imposing an oppressive national security law on Hong Kong back in 2020. Rights groups say it's been used to crush dissent and send campaigners to jail. U. S. Government doesn't want Beijing getting hold of sensitive military technology. An Air Force report shows China is trying to develop more stealth aircraft and anti stealth defenses. The fifth generation F 35 is widely viewed as the top fighter jet flying today. Lockheed Martin promotes it as the deadliest, hardest to shoot down and most connected fighter available. And moving now to a I security, the Australian defense minister today describing an open a I security breach of a government website. In relation to the Medicare Statistics Portal of Services Australia, the agent off the I model on first requesting the information and that information being denied engaged in what's described as misaligned behavior. Um, and engaged in an unauthorized access off that portal in order to gain the information. This is a very serious incident, as the prime minister has made clear overnight. It is utterly unacceptable. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made the breach public after a phone call with open a I chief executive Sam Altman, and both men are in New York City to address the United Nations. The open a I agent accessed an Australian Health Department website in July without authorization. Albanese says open a I didn't notify Australia until September 10th in an email to a department's generic address. Australia announced an inquiry into the breach today. Albanese says it will look at whether open a I could face charges and coming up in baseball, Pete Crow Armstrong makes his case for MVP. But can his team reach the playoffs? Martin joins us with all the latest. Welcome to N. T. D. I'm Carrie Dunst. What can we expect today? Today is the big day. In just about five hours, we're gonna see President Trump formally swearing in after 47 president of the United States. Welcome to N. T. D. News today. Here are today's top stories. One main dispute here is whether to tie together $16 billion for disaster relief. You know, we don't got service to another one. But she's stealing trade secrets to influencing local politicians. Chinese espionage on U. S. Soil has been on the rise wall fails to do its only job to divide the U. S. From Mexico. Miscarriages increased by 300% a local hospital, and they treated her like a crazy person. Take over Gaza and help rebuild it into an international destination. Mr President, thanks so much for joining us on the front. When it comes to China, how important was it to include China in this bill? And welcome to N. T. D. Newsroom. I'm Paul Graney. Welcome to N. T. D. Evening News. I'm Chris and welcome to Tiffany Meyer. Tonight that will prevent a lot of the bad things that Chris has experienced online. Good evening and welcome to prime time. My heart is with every one of my husband's employees who lost a friend and a mentor. So far, it hasn't been very effective in dispersing them, though, so I do expect the police to move in here pretty quickly. Oh, it lies up here, guys. This way. They're moving us away in combat on the second day of war. Detentions were really, really high. Hundreds of homes are being burned to the ground, as you can see behind me. God bless the United I've devoted my life to combining cutting edge science with biblical wisdom, and I believe healing leaves. When he retired, he went right into broadcasting. Fox Sports hired him in 2001. It was there until 2019. He was introduced into NASCAR's Hall of Fame. Then, in 2012, known as Jaws, Waltrip's family says he will be stepping away from the spotlight with this, but added that his symptoms are minor at this point, and he's otherwise happy and healthy. So, sad news, but we would definitely wish him and his family the best. Absolutely. Hoping he starts to feel better. Let's move over to baseball. Of course, the playoffs just about to kick off, and Petra Armstrong, otherwise known as PCA, sort of like Shea Gilgis Alexander, but in the baseball form. You love those things. I like a three letter acronym. It's a PCA, right? How's he making out with this case for MVP? PCA for MVP, that's for sure. PCA just sold its 40th base of the season today. It becomes the seventh member all time of the 40-40 club. It's 40 steals, 40 home runs in a season. Power and speed there. It's already got 45 home runs, which ties in with Kyle Schauber for the lead league. His 40 steals, meanwhile, are fifth most in baseball. This happened today during the Cubs' 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins that also clinches a playoff spot for them. Now, they're already out of the running for winning the division, as Milwaukee won it, but they at least begin the playoffs next week as a wild card. Now, meanwhile, across town, the Chicago White Sox also clinched a playoff spot with their 9-1 win today over the Kansas City Royals. And tonight, three more could clinch playoff spots. Those are the Guardians, Padres, and the Philadelphia Phillies. Each win, they'll probably each need, actually, a little bit of help from some other teams to either win or lose for that to happen. The playoffs meeting will start next Tuesday, and after today, just three more days left in the regular season. So, we're really coming down to it with baseball. October, it should be very interesting with how this is playing out. All right. Baseball fans, take note. It's just about to get underway. Let's move to the NFL. We got the Packers and Atlanta Falcons playing tonight. What's happening there? Yeah, make sure you get your roster set for fantasy football. It's a reminder for me, too. Thursday, it's very easy to let that slide, and then you may have missed an important switch. But Raymond Lee, I got Raymond Lee, so that never happens on my team. He's so lucky. My team's off to an 0-2 start, so I am definitely looking to make sure I got at least my starting lineup set. I think my best chance of winning at this point is to hope that the other person forgets to set their lineup. That's about it, because my team in our league is pretty weak. Well, you might be the sports guy, but I might recommend you strengthen your front office. I think that could help. You know, let's talk about the NFL. It really comes down to the draft. All right, we'll get down to this. All right, for Atlanta in tonight's game, they get quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Now, Penix was a first-round pick in 2024. We haven't quite seen what he can do, though, in the last two years because of injuries. This will be his first start of 2026 after tearing his ACL last November. Meanwhile, Atlanta's team is out. It's just eight points a game in his absence thus far. They're off to an 0-2 start. The one-on-one Packers, meanwhile, are shorthanded as well. All-pro defenseman Micah Parsons still hasn't returned yet from his torn ACL. He suffered late last year. An all-pro running back Josh Jacobs, currently ineligible, was placed on the commissioner's exemption list after being charged with a pair of misdemeanors a couple months ago. So, Falcons at the Panthers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay tonight. The game starts at 8.15 Eastern I will say this, Penix is our backup. Raymond Lee is keeping a close eye on how Penix performs. When he was at Washington, he was playing against some of the best quarterbacks. There was Bo Nix and Caleb Williams in his division, and he took them all to task, beating them three games and went all the way to the final. Left-hander, he's dangerous. Of course, he didn't. J.J. McCarthy and Michigan triumphed in that, but that was a great season. I think Penix has a lot of gas in the tank, man. So, Raymond likes him, and so that's good enough for Kerry. I got it. I'm a Penix fan. Once they go to the NFL, I stop watching, but when they're in college and they put up numbers like that, it's also the come from behind wins. Winning when everything's at stake, you can't really teach that. Now, Raymond has won some fantasy football leagues before, I assume, and this is why he's got such a great reputation with you? It's his math background, is that it? We're going to put that on hold, Dave. We've actually got a really great animal video. You're going to love this one. Apparently, science discovered a dolphin hunting fish. Stick around for this one. Let's play that. A recent study chronicled newly observed behavior in dolphins that is as fascinating as it is foul. The study, published in the journal Ecology and Evolution, focuses on a Great Barrier Reef dolphin known as Bubbles, who researchers with Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast say they observed repeatedly and systematically pursuing fish until they barfed up their caught prey, which Bubbles would then snack on. It seems gross, but this is actually a known foraging tactic called kleptoparasitism, where a predator systematically steals a prey's food. The study says in 20 documented encounters captured over several years, Bubbles was seen baiting fish for their barf, if you will, 11 times. And in one particular session, Bubbles attempted the technique up to 10 times in a half hour period. The team says their study represents one of the first detailed descriptions of kleptoparasitism in cetaceans, the marine mammal group that includes dolphins. Now, from upchucking to uplifting. Never thought I'd write that segue. But uplifting is the best way to describe this amazing video from India showing a boatload of selfless fishermen who saved a baby elephant spotted struggling in a river. It happened in the Tista River in West Bengal. The video shows the fishermen keeping the calf's head above water before working together to lift it onto their boat. The calf appeared exhausted at first, but was later seen standing upright and alert. It was brought to the shore and turned over to forest officials, who later reunited the calf with its mother.
