| 0:06.0 | But the President claims it doesn't really affect us. |
| 0:09.0 | Then mixed messaging, the President says the fighting will be over very soon, but also says the U.S. is going to go further. |
| 0:16.0 | Plus, Anthropic takes the Trump administration to court after getting blacklisted for refusing to gut their own AI safeguards as the 11th hour gets underway on this Monday now. |
