0:00.0 | We are following a number of breaking news stories tonight. |
0:04.0 | Israel has launched a preemptive strike against Iran. |
0:07.0 | We're keeping a very close eye on that and what it could mean for the region. |
0:10.4 | As I just noted, we don't entirely know yet what they hit if there will be more strikes |
0:15.1 | and what the response will be. |
0:17.3 | So we will bring you all of that as we get any updates. |
0:20.5 | We also just got a judge's order on Donald Trump's deployment of troops in Los Angeles, |
0:24.6 | where the judge returned control of the National Guard to the governor of California effective tomorrow. |
0:30.6 | As I just said to Chris, I just had somebody run this out to me. We're just going through it. |
0:35.6 | We'll bring that to you as well. |
0:43.1 | Today we also saw U.S. Senator Alex Bedea physically forced to the ground and handcuffed at a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noem after he attempted to ask her a question. |

1:13.6 | How concerned are you about where this might be headed? |
1:16.6 | Well, you can't be that surprised by the strikes because the president talked openly about the need to get American forces and others in the region out of potentially harm's way. |
1:31.0 | So the President of the United States was essentially telegraphing that this might happen. |
1:35.7 | That in itself is extraordinary because, of course, Israel, if they're going to undertake this kind of operation, |
1:41.6 | wants the element of surprise, which it undoubtedly did not have. |
1:45.9 | But also you have this statement that you were just alluding to by Rubio, where it's clear |
1:50.9 | that there is some tension between where the administration is and where Israel is. |
1:56.2 | Now I think we all need to wait and see just what kind of operation this is, how extensive it is. |
2:02.6 | From the Israel side, it sounds like they're intending to have this go on for a period of time. |
