Speaker 2: again said Israel did not force the US's hand in

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: attacking Iran. The course of the negotiations with Iran was

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: the forced factor.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: Based on the way the negotiation was going. I think

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: they were going to attack first, and I didn't want

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: that to happen. So, if anything, I might have forced

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: Israel's hand. But Israel was ready and we were ready,

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,360

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: the fight, opening up a new front as Israel carries

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: out strikes against both Iran and bea route, thousands of

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 2: people are stranded on cruise ships and Gulf ports due

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: to the escalating conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US.

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: At least six large cruise are currently docked in ports

20

00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: same time, regional airspace has been closed or severely restricted,

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: with Democrats demanding changes to ice immigration enforcement operations.

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: The latest Democrat led shutdown of DHS as reckless. It's unnecessary,

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: and it undermines the American national security, and it harms

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: the men and women who work at DHS and their families.

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,000

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: percent annual wealth tax on the nation's billionaires. The legislation

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: is estimated to raise more than four trillion dollars over

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,480

00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: to every person in a household earning less than one

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars in annual income. It would

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: also ensure that no family pays more than seven percent

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,359

56
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,359

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: find a political solution. The Supreme Court decision ushered in

65
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: numerous lawsuits seeking refunds from companies, including FedEx and Costco.

66

68
