What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Not backing down. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. The Justice Department says it will investigate both Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry for allegedly impeding law enforcement officers. Meantime, the White House set to hold off for now, it says, on invoking the Insurrection Act amid ongoing unrest in Minnesota.
After days of dangerous protests, including attacks on federal ICE agents, President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to potentially send in troops, though sane from the White House Friday.
What investigations are being conducted regarding Minnesota's leadership?
I don't think there's any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it, I'd use it. It's very powerful.
The 1807 law used 30 times by 17 presidents, in many cases to suppress riots, with its most recent use during the L.A. riots in 1992. The Insurrection Act generally viewed as a last resort and used when a state or a city is overwhelmed or refuse to uphold federal law. Jeff Manosso, Fox News.
The White House and President Trump, meantime, pitching new health care proposals, urging Congress to make it law.
President Trump's great health care plan, as he calls it, would eliminate federal dollars subsidizing insurers and instead create health savings accounts backed by the federal government.
Our plan would reduce your insurance premiums by stopping government payoffs to big insurance companies and sending the money directly to the people.
The president says his plan would also codify prescription drug price agreements and enhance fraud safeguards, but the framework leaves a lot of details to be ironed out by lawmakers, including payment amounts and eligibility requirements. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News. Fox News.
Abigail Spanberger set to take Virginia's top office today, becoming the first female governor to lead that state. She'll be sworn in during a midday inauguration ceremony in front of the state capitol in Richmond.

This is Ainsley Earhart.

New research bolstering evidence that Tylenol does not raise the risk of autism despite claims by the Trump White House.
The research review published Friday in the Lancet Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health. It finds taking Tylenol during pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disabilities. Last year, President Trump promoted ties between Tylenol and autism, advising pregnant women not to take it. One of the papers cited on its webpage, published in BMC Environmental Health, analyzed 46 previous studies. It supported an association between Tylenol exposure during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders. Deborah Valentine, Fox News.
The family of a Los Angeles man shot and killed by an off-duty police officer, or off-duty ICE officer, we should say, is calling for a possible hate crime investigation as new details about the agent surface.
LAPD said Keith Porter was firing celebratory shots into the air with an AR-15 style rifle. Homeland security officials allege the off-duty ICE agent was forced to use his weapon to protect his life and others. According to LA Times report, court documents obtained by the outlet accused the officer of child abuse and making racist and homophobic remarks in the past. The attorney for the off duty officer telling Fox 11 there's evidence of bullet holes in the wall to support that her client acted in self defense of himself and his community. She also says he denies making any racist remarks and claims that child abuse allegations were unfounded.
And that's Fox 11 LA's Rachel Aragon. The family of Porter also claims the man was never a threat. President Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, says the prosecutors in both the Manhattan DA's office and the New York Attorney General's office, quote, pressured and coerced him, unquote, into delivering testimony tailored to securing convictions against Trump.
