| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. I'm Kate Baldwin. It's Thursday, June 4th. Here are your five things. |
| 0:09.2 | Number one, the war powers. The House just delivered a rare bipartisan rebuke to President Trump, |
| 0:15.6 | and it all has to do with the Iran War. Four Republicans joined Democrats to pass the resolution that directs the |
| 0:22.0 | president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran or come get approval from Congress |
| 0:27.1 | to continue. Government watchdogs at the Pentagon and State Department also launched a review of the |

| 1:17.9 | Some people would say they were slightly provoked because we took a strong action for a |
| 1:23.9 | different reason, so they were reciprocating. How do you define ceasefire? |
| 1:30.2 | Pretty much the way it is. It's a different part of the world. You know, I'd say in that part of the |
