| 0:00.0 | Today is Thursday, January 8th. What happened when an ICE agent shot an American citizen in Minneapolis |
| 0:05.7 | and how it sparked outcry across the country? Also, the Trump administration's new plan for |
| 0:10.2 | Venezuelan oil. And we'll get into the government's newest dietary guidelines that call for eating |
| 0:14.9 | more foods that previous guidelines have said to limit. Plus, new research on why many top performers |
| 0:20.2 | in their industries were |

| 1:28.4 | but again, there are different takes on what you can see. |
| 1:30.9 | For example, was an officer in front of the vehicle when she drives off or just to the side? |
| 1:35.9 | Some witnesses even say an officer actually stepped in front of her car as she was driving away to fire his gun at her. |
