The U.S. saying that they did another strike in central Syria, part of Operation Hawkeye Strike, which the U.S. launched on December 22nd in response to the attack that led to the death of...

Syria related to ISIS targets.
And that's Fox's Madeline Rivera covering the president in West Palm Beach and the president calling for new leadership in Iran following protests that have currently been ongoing in parts of that nation.
Trump telling Politico Saturday that Iran's supreme leader is a sick man who should stop killing his people. Thousands have reportedly been killed nationwide over the past three weeks. Thousands more have been injured or arrested, and the country remains under a near total communications blackout. Protests began last month over Iran's crippling economy, corruption, and calls for regime change. President Trump is still weighing possible military and non-military action, including cyber attacks and direct strikes. The U.S. is also moving more military resources to the region. Iran's prime leader calls Trump a criminal and blames him for the deaths. Tehran warns it will retaliate if the U.S. attacks.
And that is Fox's Chanley Painter, the president, meantime, also confirming, he says, that any country that's been working with Iran will be getting an extra 25 percent tariff hit. These countries could include, he says, China, Russia and Brazil. America is listening to Fox News.

President Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, now says prosecutors pressured him to testify against the president.
Cohen wrote in a Substack post that from the time he began meeting with prosecutors in the Manhattan DA's office and the New York Attorney General's office, he felt, quote, pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government's desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump. Cohen also wrote in part, quote, Letitia James and Alvin Bragg may not share the same office or political calendar, but they share the same playbook. Both use their platforms to elevate their profiles to claim the mantle of the officials who took down Trump.
Fox's C.B. Cotton in New York. The U.S. Supreme Court this week said to hear arguments over a Hawaii gun law that limits carrying firearms onto private property.
Hawaii passed a law that prohibits someone with a concealed carry permit from bringing a gun onto private property that is open to the public unless the property owner gives permission. A few years ago, in its Bruin ruling, the Supreme Court not only ensured one's right to carry a handgun outside the home for self-defense, but also said gun laws need to be consistent with the country's historical tradition of firearms regulation. Officials in Hawaii said their law satisfies Bruin, that it balances the needs of property owners with the rights of gun owners. But Hawaii residents Jason and Allison Wolford sued. While the Ninth Circuit Court sided with the state, the Supreme Court has agreed to consider Hawaii's ban.
Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News.
Democrat Abigail Spanberger sworn in yesterday as the first female governor of Virginia taking a dig at the Trump White House.
