6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: happy that some countries aren't enthusiastic about helping protect the

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: Strait from Iran's aggression.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: I said for you, I mean, for forty years we're

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 3: protecting you, and you don't want to get involved in

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: something that is very minor. Very few shots are going

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: to be taken because they don't have many shots left.

12

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,600

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,840

00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,360

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,720

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: Boris Pistorius said this is not our war. We have

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: not started it. Other German officials, including Foreign Minister Johann

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 2: Wadafool and government spokesman Stefan Cornelius, have also rejected the request.

00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: House during her treatment period. Trump called Wiles one of

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: his closest and most important advisors. The film Hoppers is

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,840

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,000

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,679

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,360

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: the President singled out a news story first published by

00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal about an Iranian strike on five

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: Air Force for fueling planes in Saudi Arabia. Trump claimed

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: it was quote intentionally misleading. I'm Jim Forbes.

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: Ten airline CEOs are asking Congress to pay TSA workers

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 2: during the partial government shutdown. They stretched in a letter

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: yesterday that it's a necessity for security officers and air

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: traffic controllers to be paid, especially as the summer travel

55
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,760

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: World Wildlife Fund, are no longer endangered. They're now classified

63
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: as vulnerable, with about twenty six hundred left. The black

64
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: and white giants are part of the bear family, and

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: although they look cuddly, their claws can tear you apart,

66
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: so it's best to keep your distance to celebrate the

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds of playfulness they do. Like the rough

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,000
