| 0:00.0 | Big moves are being made to end the border crisis. The Department of Homeland Security is pulling the funding for NGOs that have been tied to programs to facilitate mass illegal immigration into the United States. |
| 0:13.3 | And on this note, Trump is now sitting off a global trade war after he approved tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. |
| 0:22.9 | And in other news, the White House also just declared an end to transition surgeries and medications being given to children. |
