Hours away from a government shutdown. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. The clock is ticking as we get closer to that potential government shutdown tonight at midnight. So what type of impact can we expect? Fox's Ryan Schmelz with the details. Thousands of federal workers deemed non-essential could be furloughed in the wake of a shutdown. Programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and law enforcement will continue, but the employees working in those agencies could go without pay until the shutdown ends. Republicans and Democrats still have significant disagreements on avoiding a shutdown ahead of a midnight deadline that Democratic Senator John Fetterman hopes can be resolved. I hope we decide to find a way to keep it open.
The Senate is expected to vote today on a plan to extend government funding until late November, but Democrats want health care provisions included in order to get the 60 votes needed to break the filibuster. On Capitol Hill, Ryan Schmelz, Fox News. After the meeting, President Trump posting a deepfake meme-like video to Truth Social mocking House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer responding, quote, If you think your shutdown is a joke, it just proves what we all know. You can't negotiate and you can only throw tantrums. President Trump announcing a new agreement Monday that would end the conflict in Gaza, securing support from Israeli President Bibi Netanyahu.
Fox's Trey Yinks with more. There's a lot at stake here for the Palestinian people. We have to remember tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes over the past two years inside Gaza. The vast majority of the population has been displaced from their homes and much of the Gaza Strip is leveled. President Trump is offering the Palestinian people to stay in Gaza, not be forcefully displaced. On top of that, offering them billions of dollars in regional support to rebuild their homes in the Gaza Strip with a new, peaceful, moderate government. But this requires Hamas to lay down their arms and release the hostages. America's listening to Fox News. This is Ainsley Earhart.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calling military leaders to a mandatory in-person meeting in Virginia. Fox's Jennifer Griffin. Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered nearly all of the one, two, three, and four-star generals and admirals serving around the world to appear in person for the mandatory meeting. The Military Times reports the Secretary's address will discuss a new Pentagon document that will shift the department's priorities to a focus on the homeland and Western Hemisphere. Well, I'll be there if they want me, but why is that such a big deal?
I mean, the fact that we're getting along with the generals and admirals, remember, I'm the president of peace. Several Democratic senators wanted to know how much this will cost the taxpayer, flights, hotel rooms, and per diems, and the security implications. At the Pentagon, Jennifer Griffin, Fox News. YouTube paying a multi-million dollar settlement with President Trump. YouTube will pay $24.5 million to settle a 2021 lawsuit brought by President Trump. The lawsuit was filed after YouTube suspended the president's account in the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot. The settlement is the latest in a trio of cases filed by President Trump against online companies in the months following his first term.
Meta agreed to a $25 million settlement to fund the president's future library earlier this year. And X, formerly Twitter, agreed to pay $10 million. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News. And President Trump continues his attacks on New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani. Posted to Truth Social Monday, President Trump said Mamdani, his mayor, will need money from him as president to, quote, fulfill all of his fake communist promises.
