1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: State tide rich and ID very good morning, good one.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: He may all right, So what does the US do

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: about this? If anything Iran Israel we speak of, of course, well,

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Trump is injecting himself into talk about all of this

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: as the Israel Iran conflict deepens, both sides launching daylight

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: attacks today. In a telephone interview with American ABC a

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: sure time ago, Trump saying the US is not involved

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: in Israel's military strikes, but then he added quote, it

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: is possible we could get involved. So sit with that

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: for a moment. Iran already is asserting that the US

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: is playing a direct part, even as Michael Rubio, the

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Secretary of State here says it is not. At the

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: same time, Trump was quoted describing the initial Israeli strike

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: as excellent, even amid reports of the US vetoed in

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Israeli plan to assassinate Iran. Supremely dent Laatola al Haamani.

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: On social media, Trump also added this quote, if we

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: are attacked in any way, shape or formed by Iran,

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the full strength and weight of the US armed forces

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: will come down on you at levels never seen before.

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Trump also is raising his latest call with Russia's Putin,

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: who offered himself as a beast baker. Beast baker wow,

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: no comment really. A Washington human rights group tallies at

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: least four hundred and six Iranians killed and six hundred

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: and fifty four wounded. Israel has struck an aerial refueling

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: plane in eastern around today. That's its longest range attacks

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: so far, and says fourteen nuclear officials have been killed

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: in their attacks. Israel's ambassador here, Michael Lighter, says his

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: country's iron dome, its defenses are not catching everything.

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: There's about ten to fifteen percent of these ballistic missiles

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: that get through. We sustained significant attacks last night. We

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: have over ten fatalities and one hundreds wounded.

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, up to fifteen percent of Iranian strikes heading through.

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: That is a lot, isn't it. He claims that Israel

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: can set back Run's nuclear program by many years, But

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: one lingering question always is four doh, the underground site

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: that Iran has built in recent times, a site that

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: can only be destroyed by American bunker busting bombs if

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: the US approves that. So what next? Israel is foreshadowing

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: weeks of attacks, showing yet again starting the wars straightforward

40
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: ending one way more difficult.

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: Indeed, where are we at in Minnesota?

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Well, not to far. The search is widened for this

43
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: individual from Minnesota, fifty seven year old Vance Belton, who

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: is wanted as the alleged to sassion of a state

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: politician and her husband shot dead in their own home.

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: You know, Mike, they used to talk about Minnesota nice.

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: That was a cliche the courtesy of Minnesotan's where the

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: police used to put their home addresses on their web pages.

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: Don't think they want to do that anymore.

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: Now.

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: Former Speaker Melissa Hortman has been shot dead along with

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: her husband Mark, and at another home, a state senator

53
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: and his wife also have been shot multiple times. Are

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: in critical condition, just hanging in, says a friend of

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: their Democratic Senator, Amy Klobusha, who was specially close to

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: Melissa Hortman, whom she knew as a mum of young

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: children before she went into politics.

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: I got to know her then, and I saw how

59
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: she door knocked and knew practically every person in her district.

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: She was able to juggle being a Sunday school teacher,

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: being a Girls Scout leader, training service dogs for veterans.

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: They were able to juggle it all, and maybe that's

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: what helped her be this incredible legislator who worked her

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 3: way up to Speaker of the House, who helped lead

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: the efforts to pass this incredible work on paid family leave,

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 3: where Minnesota is on the map in such a big

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: way to help people, or free school lunch.

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, police confront of the suspect at the home of

69
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: the other victims, but he got away, and now they say,

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: don't approach him if he's seen. He lift in his

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: camp papers listing some seventy other potential targets along with

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: anti abortion materials. All this overshadow of the big Trump

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Parade Day, which was well it rained on the Trump

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: military parade. Literally, the crowd was a tiny, low energy,

75
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: as Trump my saying, the front of the Lincoln Monument

76
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: looked like a local football game, not much more than

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: that many seats along the seventy four million dollar parade

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: route where empty Trump looked pretty unhappy. Meantime, some five

79
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: million people are estimated to have taken part in anti

80
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: Trump protests in twenty one hundred cities across the land,

81
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: including big crowds in Idaho and Texas. Red States, one

82
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: hundred thousand in Philadelphia, seventy five thousand in Chicago and

83
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: in LA.

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: And unlike those sixty six hundred troops in Washington, DC.

85
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: No one was ordered to be here, no one was

86
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: paid to be here. Yeah, that's been the Trump claim,

87
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: and Trump himself seems to be backing down from ice

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: agents supporting undocumented farm workers and restaurant workers. Those businesses

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: are telling Trump now they actually need those folks, many

90
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: of whom have worked in the kitchens and fields for decades.

91
