8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: joining us on this Friday. Here's what's happening. The US

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: military says it has seized another oil tanker in the

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: Caribbean Sea. The US Southern Command saying marines and Navy

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: forces boarded a vessel this morning called the Olina in

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: pre dawn hours, declaring there is no safe haven for criminals.

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: This is the fifth tanker seized by the US as

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: part of a broader effort to try and control the

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: global distribution of Venezuela and oil products. Is after the

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: capture of President Nicholas Medoro. President Trump says he has

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: not ruled out additional US military operations in Venezuela, but

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: that's where second up that was planned. He says that

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: won't happen at least for now. Here's ABC's Mary Bruce.

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: President Trump telling The New York Times the only thing

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: that can limit his global power is his own morality.

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: Do you see any checks on your power on the

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: world stage?

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: Is there anything that could stop you if you wanted to. Yeah,

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: there's one thing, my own morality, my own mind. It's

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: the only thing that can stop now.

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Yesterday, the Senate did advance a war powers resolution that

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: have passed would limit the President's ability to conduct further

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: military action against Venezuela. This does still have to pass

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: the House, but it is not likely the President will

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: sign it into law. Meantime, on Capitol Hill, House lawmakers

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: passing a bill to restore COVID era subsidies for the

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: Affordable Care Act and help produce healthcare premiums that have

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: skyrocketed for millions of Americans.

35
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: Bill would extend the expired subsidies for three more years,

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: and while it made it onto the floor over the

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: objections of Speaker Mike Johnson and passed with the support

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: of seventeen Republicans in the House, Senate majority leader John

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: Thune says there's no appetite for it among his GOP

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: colleagues on his side of the Capitol. He noted a

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: similar measure fell short the Senate's sixty vote threshold just

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 4: last month.

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Members of the Senate say they're working on an alternative

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: bill to try to solve the issue. And after hitting

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: a hot four year high in November, the nation's unemployment

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: rate last month tick down just a bit. Here's abcstim Ryan.

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 5: Este Metzurfoith the Federal employment situation summary for December. Woodland

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 5: were all over the map, ranging as high as one

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: hundred five thousand new jobs created. The actual number has

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 5: come in at less than half that, at fifty thousand positions,

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 5: largely from food services and healthcare. The unemployment rate last

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 5: month fell to four point four percent.

53
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: November's job gain was revised slightly lower, from sixty four

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: thousand to fifty six thousand. October's gains now show a

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: much steeper drop, with the loss of one hundred seventy

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: three thousand positions. That is down from the previous estimates

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: of one hundred five thousand. For the rest of the afternoon,

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: we are going to be seeing some sun and it's

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 2: going to warm up nicely into the mid to upper forty.

60
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 2: The wind is going to start to pick up, though,

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: so keep that in mind a little bit breezy out

62
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: there if it's trash day. And then for tonight, we've

Speaker 2: We just got an update a short time ago from

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry. He is calling on

78
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: the federal government to allow state authorities to be part

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: of the investigation into the deadly shooting of Renee Good.

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 6: By the way We're not even talking just about full

81
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 6: control here. We're talking about being at the table. We're

82
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 6: talking about an investigation that includes the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

83
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: Good was shot and killed in her SUV earlier this

84
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: week by an ICE agent, and this is pitted federal

85
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: and state officials against each other. The Trump administration insists

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: that she was trying to run the agent down with

87
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: her vehicle, and the officer acted appropriately. Vice President J.

88
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: D Vance yesterday saying the agent has absolute immunity. Now,

89
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: witnesses and state officials in Minnesota say video that's gone

90
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,080

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: call for ICE to leave Minneapolis.

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 6: Bad for business, bad for safety, bad for unity, bad

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 6: for democracy, and bad for this republic. We want them out.

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: Initially, the Justice Department had said that the investigation would

95
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: be a joint one between state and local officials and

96
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: the Feds, but yesterday the states said that they would

97
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: no longer be allowed to take part. And in Oregon,

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,600

Speaker 7: Look, there's going to be an investigation about what happened.

114
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 7: We don't know all the facts. I will say videos, video,

115
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 7: and everybody can see with their own eyes what transpired.

116
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,200

117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 3: confrontation on a Minneapolis street in which an ICE agent

118

Speaker 3: show and killed a woman.

119
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 7: The way to prevent incidents like that from happening is

120
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 7: for ICE to act in a way that's.

121
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: Appropriate, that's lawful.

122
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: And the answer to the aggression, the answer to violations

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 7: of the law, the answer to the harm visited upon

124
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 7: our residents, our neighborhoods, our communities, our economies across this country,

125
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 7: is for Ice to stop doing what they are doing

126
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,760
