In just four minutes, President Trump is unveiling his twelve
billion dollar farm made package. Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
During a roundtable at the White House, Trump insisted the
money was not in response to farmers being hit hard
by his tariff policies, but rather due to the Biden
administration's bad policies. American farmers have lost billions this year
in soybean sales after China started going to South American
suppliers as trade talks were stalled. The announcement comes as
the Trump administration says it's making affordability its number one issue.

(01:10):
deal could be a problem.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm Michael Kassner, the creator of the ice Block app,
is filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration for allegedly
violating his freedom of speech. Joshua Aaron says the administration
demanded Apple remove his app from the app Store, which
it did back in October. The issue was reportedly concerned
over law enforcement safety because the app shared real time
data on ice agent locations and other information. Ice Block
(01:35):
had a million users at the time it was pulled.
Apple is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
The Powerball jackpot is rolling over again, coming closer to
the billion dollar mark after there was no grand prize
winner in Monday nights drawing. That means at least nine
hundred and thirty million dollars will be on the line
the next time the numbers are drawn on Wednesday. With
the cash option, that works out to about four hundred
(01:57):
and twenty nine million. The odds of hitting the jackpot,
they're roughly one in two hundred and ninety two million.

noted his plan to bring the one rule executive order
this week, though it's unclear what the final order will
look like. The Hill reports that a draft order which

states with harsher laws. I'm at Mattinson.
