Speaker 4 (00:28):
As President Trump weighs taking military action in Iran, the
US has been building up military forces in the region.
While the Pentagon says the build up's defensive, it does
better position the US should Donald Trump decide to join
Israeli attacks on Iran. It could also be a tactic
to pressure Iran to make concessions. Kate Fisher, Washington.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
A federal appeals court says that Trump administration can continue
deploying the California National Guard to control protests in Los Angeles.

of billions of dollars. Mark Mayfield with more.
Speaker 1 (01:20):

truly one of the dumbest and most destructive people in government.
The end of the FED board is also complicit. Trump

Court closed Thursday for the Juneteenth holiday, will go on
Friday morning with a hip hop Mogul's former personal assistant,
Brendan Paul, expected to take the stand. Meanwhile, sources tell
People magazine that Ditty will not testify. The government had
said it would likely rest its case Friday, but that
will now likely happen Monday. The defense is expected to
take two to five days, and the judge says the
(02:54):

(03:36):
especially around creativity, when not using technological aids.
