<v Speaker 1>bipartisan congressional delegation continues talks today in Copenhagen in hopes

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>of de escalating tensions. Republican Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski.

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not as

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>an asset.

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Denmark is part of NATO, and these talks come as

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>other countries within the Alliance, including France and Germany, send

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>military support to help secure the territory. Delaware Senator Chris Coons.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 3>I think I speak for every Senator and House member

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 3>here and that we deeply value NATO and that this

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>eighty year old alliance. This partnership has been absolutely critical

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 3>to the United States security and prosperity and success.

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has threatened to impose tariffs against countries that

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>don't support a US takeover. The Justice Department has launched

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>a criminal investigation into whether Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas and

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye obstructed federal Immigration Enforcement. Attorney General

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Pam Bondi issued a brief statement on social media last night,

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>saying no one is above the law, but both Walls

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and fry are pushing back, calling it a bullying tactic.

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota's Attorney General, Keith Ellison, agrees and says the Trump

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>administration is weaponizing the DOJ.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 3>When powerful leaders use it against people who are just

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 3>doing their jobs as their voters elected them to do,

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 3>that's a very sad day in America.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Who meantime, a win for protesters in Minneapolis, federal judge

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>has ordered immigration officers not to arrest, detain, pepper spray,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>or otherwise retaliate against peaceful protesters in the city following

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>weeks of violent clashes. The Justice Department will likely appeal

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that ruling. It was a quiet end to a volatile

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.000

<v Speaker 1>Administration officials say they're still discussing terms with industrially and Congress,

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>but say it's designed to reduce costs for Americans and

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>aid in affordability challenges. White House Economic advisor Kevin Hassett

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>says he's headed to Davos, Switzerland, with President Trump next week,

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 1>where the President's set to unveil a plan to ban

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>institutional investors from buying single family homes.

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 4>When that comes out, there'll be a clear guidance to

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.600

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 2>aim at thousands of lawsuits targeting its top selling round

<v Speaker 2>five million dollar Missouri jury verdict against the company's Monsanto

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>unit over round Up, on the ground some of the

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>claims were preempted by federal law. The company already has

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>paid more than ten billion in verdicts and settlements, and

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.560

<v Speaker 1>up to one hundred and thirty four billion dollars overclaims

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that OpenAI defrauded him by abandoning its non profit roots

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and partnering with the software giant. Open Ai calls the

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit baseless and the demand for damages unseirious. The CDC

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>says cases of flu keep surging in the US, with

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>those dying from it up twenty five percent from last week.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Experts estimate at least eighteen million people have now caught

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the flu this season, with at least fourteen states seeing

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>very high levels of infection. Doctors are still urging Americans

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to get vaccinated. Measles also keeps spreading in South Carolina.

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Health officials there have reported hundreds more cases over the

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>last ten days. They're also pushing vaccines. Measles is one

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of the most contagious and preventable diseases in the world,

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>and disagreements over pesticide policy are now threatening to slow

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>down and already delayed farm bill in Congress this year.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg's Amy Morris reports from Washington.

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 5>House Agriculture Chair G. T. Thompson still plans to include

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 5>language in a farm policy package that would limit state

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 5>and local regulation of pesticides. Despite renewed opposition to the

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 5>proposal from Democrats, some Republicans, and health activists. Now Thompson's

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 5>reasoning is that it'll drive up the cost of food

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 5>to have fifty different states using different pesticide regulations. Thompson

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 5>brushed aside opposition, pointing out that House Agriculture Committee members,

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 5>including four Democrats, already voted to advance the proposal, but

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.799
<v Speaker 5>that package never came up for a floor vote in Washington.
