We're not going to war.

We're going to clean up our city.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's not war, that's common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Trump scolded a reporter, telling her to be quiet, and
then asked, do you know how many people were killed
in Chicago last weekend? He answered his own question by
saying eight people were killed and seventy four wounded. He

comes just days after President Trump signed an executive order
that reduced US tariffs on Japanese vehicles. Treasury Secretary Scott

Bessant is brushing off concerns following a less than desirable

Speaker 4 (01:26):
We're not going to the economic policy off of one number.
We believe that good policies are in place that are
going to create good, high paying jobs for the American people.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
The report showed just twenty two thousand new jobs added
in August, which is down from the previous month's seventy
three thousand. The number was expected to be closer to
seventy five thousand. It's the first report since President Trump
fired the agency's status chief. A Star Wars fan is

(02:01):

the Jedi. I'm Lisa Carton. President Trump is threatening the
European Union with a trade investigation after it levied fines
against US tech firms. Brian Shook has more.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
He issued the threat hours after Google received a nearly
three point five billion dollar penalty in a major antitrust
case centered on the search giant's advertising technology business. The
President complained in a post on truth Social that Europe
was effectively taking money that would otherwise go to American
investments and jobs. I'm Brian Schuk.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The Justice Department has asked a federal judge overseeing the
Jeffrey Epstein case to deny a request from NBC News

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Court documents show the Justice Department cited privacy concerns as
the reason for not making their names public. One of
them received a one hundred thousand dollars payment from Epstein,
and the second person got a two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars payment in twenty eighteen from the late sex trafficker.
The payments were made after The Miami Herald published a
series of investigative stories where victims criticized the plea deal
(03:14):
he received in Florida back in two thousand and eight.
As part of the plea agreement, federal prosecutors in Florida
agreed not to prosecute the two former Epstein Associates.

congressional redistricting plan is pushed by Gavin Newsom. He said
(03:45):
the goal is to counteract Texas's Republican favoring districting. Both
sides are running TV ads with mailers soon to follow.
Shaquille O'Neill now has his own fragrance. The NBA star
is adding to his business empire with his new signature
Fragrance simply called Shaquille O'Neal. I'm Lisa Carton
