Women EVERYWHERE ARE OUTRAGED As Trump Just CROSSED A LINE!
The Michael Fanone Show

Transcript
An 82-year-old woman took Donald Trump to court twice and beat him in front of two juries. Then he ran it up the
appeals court twice. And six federal judges looked at the whole thing and sided with her every single time. She
did everything right. She used the system the way it's supposed to be used.
And this week, as a reward for winning, the Justice Department of the United States opened a criminal investigation into her. Her name is Eugene Carol. And
in all my years as a cop, I can tell you right now, this case is complete [ __ ] And let me tell you who she is in case her name doesn't ring a bell.
Carol was a magazine columnist for most of her life. And she said that back in the mid 1990s, Donald Trump assaulted her in the dressing room of a Burgdoff
Goodman and she took him to court over it. A federal jury in New York heard the evidence and found Trump liable for
sexually abusing her and for defaming her when he turned around and called her a liar. They awarded her $5 million.
Trump appealed and his appeal went to three federal judges on the second circuit who rejected it without a single
disscent. Then there was a second case, a separate defamation trial because Trump wouldn't stop going after her in public. Another jury, another finding.
Except this time they decided he'd acted with actual malice. They hit him with 83.3 million. 65 million of that as
straight punishment. He appealed that one, too. And another panel of three federal judges rejected it unanimously, just like the first.
In other words, this woman took the most powerful man in the country to court twice in front of juries of ordinary citizens, and she beat him both times.
Then he ran it up the appeals court twice and six different federal judges looked at the whole thing and sided with her every time with not one of them
writing a word in his favor. That's the person the Justice Department has now decided to investigate for a crime. The
crime they're floating is perjury. And the theory is that somewhere inside her own lawsuits under oath, she'd lied. And look, I'm not going to stand here and
tell you that's impossible because I don't have the grand jury file and neither do you. Perjury is a real charge and people do lie under oath. But here's
the thing. The label on the front of the case file is the least interesting part of it. Start with the timing. Last September, the president of the United
States stood up in public and told his attorney general by name to go prosecute the people who'd come after him. He
didn't hide it or soften it. He said it out loud on camera for the whole country to hear. And within weeks, the indictments started rolling in.
President Trump is publicly pressuring Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political enemies. He's calling for charges against Democratic Senator Adam
Schiff, former FBI Director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Leticia James. Now, some of the president's own supporters say his administration is
going too far and threatening free speech.
James Comey, the FBI director Trump fired back in 2017, got indicted. A judge threw it out. So, they turned around and indicted him again last
month. this time over a photograph of seashells arranged into a couple of numbers which they decided was a threat.
Comey says he never read it that way.
Then Leticia James, the attorney general of New York, who brought the fraud case against Trump, got indicted. A judge threw that one out, too. John Brennan,
the former CIA director, is sitting under an open investigation right now.
And now Eugene Carol, you see the through line? Every single person on that list did one of the same handful of things. They investigated Trump or they charged him or they sued him in one.
That's the qualification for the list.
As far as I can tell, it's the only qualification on the list. The man running this investigation is named Andrew Butress, and he's the United
States attorney in Chicago. And sit with that for a second. Carol's lawsuits happened in New York. If she lied under oath, she lied in a New York courtroom.
The witnesses are in New York. The transcripts are in New York. The judge who ran both trials is in New York. So
why is a prosecutor in Chicago 800 miles away running point on a New York perjury case? Here's why. The Justice Department
has been leaning on a rule that lets headquarters hand a case to almost any prosecutor they want, anywhere in the country, no matter where the supposed
crime actually happened. They pulled the exact same move with Brennan. They handed his case to a prosecutor in Miami, and the reporting on why is
blunt. Other offices looked at the Brennan case, decided it was too weak to touch. So, the department went and found
somebody who'd say yes. In my world, we had a name for that. When the people who knew the case best tell you there's nothing there, and you go shopping for a
different set of hands who will run with it anyway, you're not chasing justice anymore. You're chasing a result. And there may be a specific reason it landed
in Chicago because there's a nonprofit tied to Reed Hoffman based there.
Hoffman's the billionaire who helped fund Carol's legal defense and Trump's people have spent years trying to turn him into the villain of this whole
story. Then there's the man at the very top of this. Todd Blanch is the acting attorney general of the United States and he's recused himself from the Carol investigation. You want to know why?
Because before he ran the Justice Department, he was Donald Trump's personal defense attorney. The most powerful lawyer in the country can't lay
a finger on this case because he used to work for the man whose accuser is now the target. And I want to give you one more detail about the Chicago prosecutor
because it tells you everything about the quality of work coming out of that office. Just last week, Bros had to walk into a courtroom and drop a whole batch
of charges against people who'd protested outside an immigration facility. The reason he had to drop them is that prosecutors working under him
got caught talking to individual grand jurors outside the courtroom, which is something you're flatly not allowed to do. That's not a paperwork error. That's
the kind of misconduct that blows up cases and gets careers put under a microscope. So that's the office and that's the prosecutor the Justice
Department picked to go after an 82-year-old woman who lives in a different state. So when you look at the facts, everything surrounding the
investigation, the timing, the venue, the recused boss, the prosecutor with the shaky record, all of it points in
the same direction. And it's not the direction of a department calmly following the evidence wherever it leads. And remember what this has
already cost her long before today. The appeals court spelled it out in writing.
After Trump came after her in public over and over, she started getting death threats, threats against her physical safety, and she's been living under that
duress for years. She didn't go looking for any of this. She told a jury what happened to her. The jury believed her.
And for that, she spent years with a target on her back. Now, the federal government has decided to add itself to the list of people coming after her.
Here's the part I need you to hold on to. The power to open a federal criminal investigation is one of the greatest responsibilities this country puts in
anybody's hands. The second you decide it's fine to aim that power at the people who beat you in court, you give up any say over who picks it up next or
who they decide to aim it at. A weapon doesn't care whose hand is holding it.
And I want to close by talking to one group directly, the career prosecutors and agents inside the Justice Department. The people who took the same
oath I took. You see what I see. You know what a real perjury case looks like and you know this isn't one. So, let me
say the thing that a lot of you are only saying quietly. Anyone still telling themselves this DOJ hasn't been weaponized is lying to themselves and
they know it. And if you know it, you've got two choices. Stand up and refuse to carry it out, even if it costs you the
job. Or stay. Go along and accept what that makes you. There's no version where you keep your head down and keep your
conscience clean. I carried a badge for 20 years. I know what I'm asking and I'm asking it anyway. Anyone left in the DOJ
who still has a conscience, quit your

Iran’s Proxy Strikes Where It Hurts Most? Hezbollah Targets Israel’s Defensive Backbone | Iron Dome

Jun 5, 2026 #Hezbollah #Israel #IronDome
Hezbollah's reported campaign against Israel's Iron Dome air-defence network is raising major questions about the future of aerial warfare in the Middle East. Recent battlefield reports and claims from Hezbollah suggest that launchers, radars, and other critical components of Israel's frontline defensive shield have come under repeated attack. While the extent of the damage remains disputed, analysts say the strategy reflects a shift from targeting cities to targeting the systems designed to protect them. According to reports, Hezbollah is increasingly relying on drones, loitering munitions, and precision-guided weapons to identify and strike high-value military assets. Some assessments claim that multiple Iron Dome components have been damaged, while Military Watch Magazine reported that as many as four or five Iron Dome units may have been destroyed in a single month.

The hunter becomes the hunted? Or has the battlefield truly flipped in a way no one anticipated? As Hezbollah intensifies pressure on Israel while the
Iran war appears to have reignited once again. Iran and its Lebanese proxy are allegedly working in coordination to pressure both the US and Israel.
It is no longer just Israel in focus, but its advanced Israeli defense systems that now appear to be firmly on Hezbollah's radar, suggesting a shift in
tactical priorities. [music] Hezbollah has claimed to have taken out multiple Iron Dome units, increasing pressure on Israeli forces.
Reports also suggest Iran has escalated further, allegedly striking a US warship and hitting America's allies after renewed conflict signals.
Reports suggest Hezbollah is making notable gains in its effort to challenge Israel's frontline air defense network.
The group is believed to be using precision guided attacks to target the launchers and radars that power Iron Dome. If verified, the losses would
represent one of the most significant challenges faced by Israel during the current conflict. Iron Dome has long been regarded as a cornerstone of
Israel's ability to defend against rockets and drones. The focus of the battlefield appears to be shifting from protected cities to the systems
protecting them. Rather than simply firing more rockets, Hezbollah now appears focused on degrading Israel's interception capabilities. Several
reports claim that key elements of the Iron Dome network have suffered damage during recent fighting. Drones and loitering munitions are reportedly
helping Hezbollah identify and engage high-V value military targets. Analysts say the campaign appears aimed at weakening Israel's broader defensive
architecture over time. Military experts note that even minor losses can disrupt coverage and force costly redeployments.
According to Military Watch magazine, Hezbollah may have knocked out up to five Iron Dome units in a single month.
a potentially significant loss for Israel's air defense network.
Any weakening of Iron Dome could place additional strain on the broader network protecting Israel from rockets, drones, and missiles. As gaps emerge in
frontline defenses, higher tier systems may be forced to intercept a larger number of incoming threats. Analysts believe Hezbollah's campaign fits into a
broader effort by Iran and its allies to challenge Israel's military edge.
Military experts warned the degraded air defenses could increase the chances of drones and other threats reaching their targets.
Amid fresh turmoil over the proposed ceasefire, Hezbollah has flatly rejected the USbacked Israel Lebanon framework and warned that its armed resistance
will continue. On June 4th, the group publicly dismissed the USbacked Israel Lebanon ceasefire framework, signaling that it does not feel bound by what
diplomats have drafted. The Iranbacked movement declared that any acceptable deal must start with a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, not
just limited redeployments. According to regional reports, Hezbollah informed President Joseph Arun of its opposition to the plan, ensuring Beirut's
leadership cannot claim broad national consensus. The group has also demanded a package, including reconstruction, the release of prisoners, and the return of
displaced residents to their villages before it will accept any deal. Notably, Hezbollah was not directly involved in the talks that produced the ceasefire
outline and now appears to be trying to rewrite the terms from the outside.
Hezbollah's chief named Cassam has slammed the proposal as humiliating for Lebanon, saying it fails to respect the sacrifices of those who fought. Cassum
argued that the plan is designed to achieve through political pressure what Israel failed to secure through war, namely Lebanon submission and the disarming of the resistance. Name Cassum
said and I quote, "The result of the direct negotiations which are futile, humiliating, and disgraceful for Lebanon
and which are rejected in their entirety by broad segments of the Lebanese people, came in the form of the Washington declaration, which outlines
the basic principles through which the United States and Israel seek Lebanon's submission to the project of greater Israel. Making the disarmament of the
resistance the primary objective and starting point of any agreement means executing Lebanon's source of strength.
It constitutes an existential threat that could lead to the annihilation of its resistant people. It is a declaration aimed at destroying Lebanon,
destabilizing it, and creating internal strife among the Lebanese in Israel's interest, allowing Israel to obtain through politics what it failed to
obtain through war. This declaration is a roadmap for the annihilation of part of the Lebanese people and the subjugation of the rest. to place the
security track under the slogan of a supposed ceasefire interpreted as requiring Hezbollah to stop firing resistance fighters to leave the south.
While aggression continues under military pressure is surrender, defeat, and the realization of the enemy's objectives. It is like Satan dreaming of
entering paradise. We are concerned only with ending the aggression completely, achieving a ceasefire and securing
Israel's withdrawal. The ceasefire must be comprehensive. There can be no division between the south and the rest of Lebanon. Nor can the Israeli enemy be
granted freedom to kill throughout Lebanon. We have given no commitment to anyone that we will refrain from resisting aggression or responding to
it. As long as aggression continues, we will confront it with all the power at our disposal and strike wherever we decide and are able. The primary
objective must be Lebanon sovereignty, which can only be achieved through the exclusive solution of ending Israeli aggression against Lebanon in all its
forms, by air, land, and sea, along with Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese territory, the deployment of the Lebanese army south of the Litani River,
the release of prisoners, the return of residents to all of their villages, and reconstruction.
We reject any linkage between the existence of the resistance and the sessation of aggression or Israel's withdrawal.
Iran has echoed Hezbollah's stance, saying the group wants the IDF pushed back to the positions it held before the current USIsrael war on Lebanon began.
Kud's force commander, Esme Carney, has stated that Israel must roll its forces back to pre-war lines if it hopes to see calm restored on the northern front. He
told Hezbollah fighters they would soon see the results of their resistance, hinting that Iran believes the current pressure campaign is paying off. Tran
has also signaled that any broader deal with Washington must include an end to fighting on the Lebanese front, binding Hezbollah's battlefield to its own nuclear and sanctions talks.
On paper, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to renew a ceasefire if Hezbollah halts attacks and pulls its fighters back from the frontier. The US brokered plan
invisages Hezbollah vacating a defined strip of South Lebanon and accepting so-called pilot zones where only state forces can deploy. The idea is to create
army only security zones where no non-state actors can operate or bear arms, effectively pushing Hezbollah's units further north. A joint statement
promises more talks in the coming weeks and speaks of moving toward a comprehensive agreement once the initial steps are in Peace.

BREAKING: Trump STORMS OFF in LIVE TV MELTDOWN
Pondering Politics

Jessiah reacts to Donald Trump getting triggered and abruptly ending his interview with NBC's Meet the Press.
Transcript
And you're crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and CNN.
Well, Mr. President, your one-sided crooked network. So, let's call it quits cuz I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.
Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
I've all I know for an hour on and off in the rain. And I've given you enough time.
You ought to straighten out your press because you know what, Mr. A country can never be great with a dishonest. He traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.
Donald Trump lost his temper, abruptly ended an interview with NBC's Meet the Press and its host Kristen Welker.
Flipped out, stepped on the microphone, and walked off all because she fact checked him about his lies about the
2020 election and other things. And we have to talk about this. But before we do, if you end up liking this video and you want to support the channel, please
be sure to hit the like, subscribe, and alert bells before you go. All right, folks. As Mediite reports, could I've had enough. Trump storms out of Meet the
Press interview in wild fashion, explodes on NBC's Kristen Welker after she hits him with fact checks. Donald Trump stormed out of a Meet the Press
interview Sunday after moderator Kristen Welker repeatedly fact checked his claims on a variety of topics including the January 6th insurrection, his
so-called anti-weaponization fund and election fraud. The heated 6-minute final block of the interview began with Welker pressing Trump on the $1.8
billion slush fund. And with that in mind, we're going to talk about multiple things in this interview in subsequent videos. I really want to focus on the
six-minute interval that really pushed Trump to just lose his mind. He got so triggered that he flipped out, dropped the microphone, stepped on the
microphone, and abruptly ended the interview. And then we'll talk about other things they covered in subsequent videos. But courtesy of Aaron Rupar,
here is the and s that caused Trump to get so triggered and leave.
2 minutes8 billion socalled anti-weaponization fund. It was going to compensate people who say the federal government weaponized the legal system against
them. It's been blocked by the courts, met with opposition from Republicans and Democrats in Congress and Democrats. Excuse me. Mostly Democrats.
Mostly Democrats and some Republicans. Very few Republicans.
Just to be very clear, are you backing off the fund completely as your acting attorney general Todd Blanch has said,
or are you looking for another avenue to revive? So, let me explain what the fund is.
People have been hurt so badly by radical left lunatics that worked for the Biden administration and Sleepy Joe.
They're vicious. They're violent. What they did to people and of course they went after me more than anybody else.
They raided Mara Lago and all the other things. But people have been badly hurt.
They've committed suicide. They've lost their jobs. They've lost their families.
They've lost their wives. They've lost everything. They've lost everything over a fake weaponization of government.
So, let's stop right there. Again, remember Trump sued the IRS, his own federal government in his private
capacity as a citizen, and then forced his federal government to settle.
Originally, the plan was the federal government would pay Trump 10 billion taxpayer dollars, your taxpayer dollars to him and his family. And once the
political consequences and the potential legal consequences became too apparent because a federal judge said this seems kind of sus, instead what they decided
was, "Okay, I'll drop the lawsuit and in exchange we create a $1.8 billion taxpayer funded slush fund that I can dole out to my MAGA allies, including
violent January 6 insurrectionists." The other thing to remember is that as part of this deal, the IRS creates a blanket
tax liability shield for Trump, his family, and his businesses. So, they can't be audited, investigated, or prosecuted. It's disgusting and despicable. But let's continue.
Looking for a way to revive it?
Well, it's Look, it was up to me. I'd pay them the kind of money that they deserve. People have been destroyed.
It is. I mean, you're a billionaire.
You've made between$ 1.5 and6 billion dollars according to some estimates off the presidency in this
past year alone. So you have the scratch at your own disposal to compensate these fanatics if you really felt that way.
But understand Trump doesn't actually give a damn about January 6 insurrectionist. He was the one who lied to them in the first place and set them
loose on the capital and didn't pardon him or pardon them on his way out the door. Right? He let them languish in jail and suffer the consequences of
their actions and his lies. He doesn't give a damn about them. He's virtue signaling and he's trying to create an incentive structure that will reward bad
behavior in the future. He has no personal regard for the January 6th insurrectionist. Quite frankly, he shouldn't because again they're violent
thugs. But understand when people say, "Well, look, wow, he's just looking out for the little guy. He's looking out for his own supporters." No, if that were true, he would pay them out of his own pocket. He could afford to.
Lives have been destroyed. many suicides. Think of it. People have committed suicide because a bunch of thugs went after them. So, me
personally, I think the weaponization fund is a great idea and so do many other Republicans.
You have to get it approved. If they get it approved, that's great. If they don't get it approved, I'd be disappointed.
All right, we're going to motor us through.
So, the noise you hear in the background, by the way, is rain. And we'll talk about in subsequent interview, Trump is easily distracted by the rain. and he's like a child,
somebody dangling car keys in front of him. He's just pawing at it, right?
Because he has no attention span. Sure seems like Trump is interested in resurrecting this $ 1.8 billion taxpayer funded slush fund, which is why it was
so important for Senate Republicans to get on board with the Democrats and kill this thing legislatively. And at the 11th hour, they refused to do so. And
every Republican like Susan Collins running for reelection should be forced to address that fact. their Democratic opponent should make them suffer
political consequences for not trying to kill this fund when they had the chance.
This um but you have to understand people have have been destroyed by crooked
politicians and they should be reimbursed for that.
Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on January 6 should get taxpayer money?
I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it. I can tell you this. 97% of those people you look at them.
So again, he's not ruling it out. He knows how bad it looks. He knows how bad it looks to say that people who
violently assaulted cops on January 6 are eligible to receive taxpayer funds as a as a as remuneration. But even there, he won't rule it out. Notice he
could have said, "Of course not, Kristen. Hell no. Absolutely not. Let me put that to bed right now." And he doesn't. I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to take a look at it. the
7 minutesFBI or whoever it was because you had a lot of crooked cops. You had dirty cops.
Comey was a dirty cop. A guy like Bolton was a dirty cop. There's no evidence.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, you think Comey was a straight people who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers.
Comey was a dirty cop. They had FBI assaulted. Listen to me.
James Comey was the FBI director at the beginning of Trump's first term. He was fired long before January 6 ever happened. He years and years before. So
again, Trump is scenile, losing track of time. Number one, even if you thought James Comey was crooked, James Comey was fired by Trump years before January 6.
Number one. Number two, Kristen Welker is pointing out it's not just that hundreds of violent January 6 insurrectionists were found guilty.
Hundreds pled guilty. They admitted to beating the out of cops. So, you have no point here.
They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI go into the building. Those people walking around, they're looking, oh, isn't this that?
They weren't in. They were being ushered into the building. There's no evidence of that.
8 minutesYou had a bunch of dirty cops and frankly what they did was weaponization of our government.
Sir, there's there's no evidence of that. More than a thousand people. No, there's none. You know what you do? Try looking at the tapes one time. Would you take it home?
Look at the tapes one time.
But 172 people did plead guilty to assaulting police officers.
You know why they plead guilty? Because they told they were going to jail for 15 years. If they didn't, they plead guilty because they were
frightened. They went down. They were ushered into a building. Many of them were arrested without even going into the building.
Are you okay with them receiving taxpayer dollars?
The people were destroyed by dirty cops and by weaponization.
Many of those people should be compensated. Now, with that being said, the, as I understand it, the weaponization fund was going to set up a
group of people, uh, people, again, folks, he can't rule it out. He won't rule it would, look, you could say
the most absurd um, easily fact check, debunk lies about January 6, as he often does, and still say yes, those who
actually attacked police, those who committed acts of violence, of course, will never receive a single scent from the federal government. But he won't say
it, which is why you should not trust him, Todd Blanch, or the Republican party. None of them will rule it out.
It could be picked by anybody, fair people, smart people, and they will go on an individual case basis. Okay.
Now, I don't know what's going to happen with the weaponization fund. I love the idea because people like you, the fake
dirty press, the crooked press, people like stupid Biden, he's not smart enough to know what's going on, but people that surrounded him,
surrounded his beautiful resolute desk in the Oval Office, what they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people.
They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong. All right. Just just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying, but listen to me. Listen to me.
There's tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election and it's happening again right now in California.
Presented evidence happening right now in California. Right.
Beautiful. Again, kudos to Kristen Welker for doing this because unfortunately in the second Trump administration, too many people have
just let Trump skate on this and not fact check him. They're like, "Ah, just let it go." No, it's important now. It's Look, look at what's happening to that.
It's doing well in California.
In California, it's they're not they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to
coming up. You know why they're doing that? because they're cheating on the election.
There's what? Do you have evidence to support?
All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look and I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens. But sir, that's not evidence. Do you think it's a pro?
It is not evidence. That's the point.
According to Trump and MAGA, cheating is whenever Democrats win elections. It just doesn't it doesn't matter. If they lose, they say Democrats are cheating.
In their mind, Democrats cannot and never will win a fair and free election.
by definition to MAGA. Anytime a Democrat wins, it's a consequence of cheating. And that we can't have a system like this, folks. We can't have a
system where the other side says, "Oh, I lose. It must be because of cheating." That just means that you will never accept an outcome or you don't win. We
cannot have a system like this where one of two major political parties functions in this way. That's how they count the votes.
Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking? Local officials acknowledge they are slow.
They're urging No, they're crooked.
They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote.
Crooked just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked. And meet the press is crooked.
To be fair, I'm not crooked. But let's Well, you play right into their hands. You're either crooked or you're stupid.
You play right into their hands with this. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You
know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press.
But Mr. President, you know why I got presented? Because you have no credibility.
But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about I want to talk about Todd.
You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented.
Your elections in this country, we're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is
ABC and CBS and CNN. But Mr. President, your one-sided crooked network. So, let's call it quits cuz I've had enough.
Thank you, darling. Have a good time.
Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
I've sat in the rain with you. I know the rain for an hour on and off in the rain. And I've given you enough time.
You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? Country can never be great with a dishonest.
Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.
Pathetic. It truly is pathetic. He just can't handle being fact checked in real time. And listen, Kristen Welker is a mixed bag because sometimes she lets things just skate right on by. This time
she held his feet to the fire and grilled him. So kudos. This was an excellent performance by her. She was super humanly patient. Donald Trump is just fragile and dishonest and he can't
handle any push back. It's just also a sign of his rapidly deteriorating cognitive state and his understanding that there's quick sand beneath him
politically speaking. But masterful performance. Trump crashed out. He just effectively fled the interview because he can't handle it. In the meantime, let me know what you think in the comments.

Jessiah reacts to Donald Trump getting triggered and abruptly ending his interview with NBC's Meet the Press.
Transcript
And you're crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and CNN.
Well, Mr. President, your one-sided crooked network. So, let's call it quits cuz I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.
Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
I've all I know for an hour on and off in the rain. And I've given you enough time.
You ought to straighten out your press because you know what, Mr. A country can never be great with a dishonest. He traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.
Donald Trump lost his temper, abruptly ended an interview with NBC's Meet the Press and its host Kristen Welker.
Flipped out, stepped on the microphone, and walked off all because she fact checked him about his lies about the
2020 election and other things. And we have to talk about this. But before we do, if you end up liking this video and you want to support the channel, please
be sure to hit the like, subscribe, and alert bells before you go. All right, folks. As Mediite reports, could I've had enough. Trump storms out of Meet the
Press interview in wild fashion, explodes on NBC's Kristen Welker after she hits him with fact checks. Donald Trump stormed out of a Meet the Press
interview Sunday after moderator Kristen Welker repeatedly fact checked his claims on a variety of topics including the January 6th insurrection, his
so-called anti-weaponization fund and election fraud. The heated 6-minute final block of the interview began with Welker pressing Trump on the $1.8
billion slush fund. And with that in mind, we're going to talk about multiple things in this interview in subsequent videos. I really want to focus on the
six-minute interval that really pushed Trump to just lose his mind. He got so triggered that he flipped out, dropped the microphone, stepped on the
microphone, and abruptly ended the interview. And then we'll talk about other things they covered in subsequent videos. But courtesy of Aaron Rupar,
here is the and s that caused Trump to get so triggered and leave.
2 minutes8 billion socalled anti-weaponization fund. It was going to compensate people who say the federal government weaponized the legal system against
them. It's been blocked by the courts, met with opposition from Republicans and Democrats in Congress and Democrats. Excuse me. Mostly Democrats.
Mostly Democrats and some Republicans. Very few Republicans.
Just to be very clear, are you backing off the fund completely as your acting attorney general Todd Blanch has said,
or are you looking for another avenue to revive? So, let me explain what the fund is.
People have been hurt so badly by radical left lunatics that worked for the Biden administration and Sleepy Joe.
They're vicious. They're violent. What they did to people and of course they went after me more than anybody else.
They raided Mara Lago and all the other things. But people have been badly hurt.
They've committed suicide. They've lost their jobs. They've lost their families.
They've lost their wives. They've lost everything. They've lost everything over a fake weaponization of government.
So, let's stop right there. Again, remember Trump sued the IRS, his own federal government in his private
capacity as a citizen, and then forced his federal government to settle.
Originally, the plan was the federal government would pay Trump 10 billion taxpayer dollars, your taxpayer dollars to him and his family. And once the
political consequences and the potential legal consequences became too apparent because a federal judge said this seems kind of sus, instead what they decided
was, "Okay, I'll drop the lawsuit and in exchange we create a $1.8 billion taxpayer funded slush fund that I can dole out to my MAGA allies, including
violent January 6 insurrectionists." The other thing to remember is that as part of this deal, the IRS creates a blanket
tax liability shield for Trump, his family, and his businesses. So, they can't be audited, investigated, or prosecuted. It's disgusting and despicable. But let's continue.
Looking for a way to revive it?
Well, it's Look, it was up to me. I'd pay them the kind of money that they deserve. People have been destroyed.
It is. I mean, you're a billionaire.
You've made between$ 1.5 and6 billion dollars according to some estimates off the presidency in this
past year alone. So you have the scratch at your own disposal to compensate these fanatics if you really felt that way.
But understand Trump doesn't actually give a damn about January 6 insurrectionist. He was the one who lied to them in the first place and set them
loose on the capital and didn't pardon him or pardon them on his way out the door. Right? He let them languish in jail and suffer the consequences of
their actions and his lies. He doesn't give a damn about them. He's virtue signaling and he's trying to create an incentive structure that will reward bad
behavior in the future. He has no personal regard for the January 6th insurrectionist. Quite frankly, he shouldn't because again they're violent
thugs. But understand when people say, "Well, look, wow, he's just looking out for the little guy. He's looking out for his own supporters." No, if that were true, he would pay them out of his own pocket. He could afford to.
Lives have been destroyed. many suicides. Think of it. People have committed suicide because a bunch of thugs went after them. So, me
personally, I think the weaponization fund is a great idea and so do many other Republicans.
You have to get it approved. If they get it approved, that's great. If they don't get it approved, I'd be disappointed.
All right, we're going to motor us through.
So, the noise you hear in the background, by the way, is rain. And we'll talk about in subsequent interview, Trump is easily distracted by the rain. and he's like a child,
somebody dangling car keys in front of him. He's just pawing at it, right?
Because he has no attention span. Sure seems like Trump is interested in resurrecting this $ 1.8 billion taxpayer funded slush fund, which is why it was
so important for Senate Republicans to get on board with the Democrats and kill this thing legislatively. And at the 11th hour, they refused to do so. And
every Republican like Susan Collins running for reelection should be forced to address that fact. their Democratic opponent should make them suffer
political consequences for not trying to kill this fund when they had the chance.
This um but you have to understand people have have been destroyed by crooked
politicians and they should be reimbursed for that.
Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on January 6 should get taxpayer money?
I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it. I can tell you this. 97% of those people you look at them.
So again, he's not ruling it out. He knows how bad it looks. He knows how bad it looks to say that people who
violently assaulted cops on January 6 are eligible to receive taxpayer funds as a as a as remuneration. But even there, he won't rule it out. Notice he
could have said, "Of course not, Kristen. Hell no. Absolutely not. Let me put that to bed right now." And he doesn't. I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to take a look at it. the
7 minutesFBI or whoever it was because you had a lot of crooked cops. You had dirty cops.
Comey was a dirty cop. A guy like Bolton was a dirty cop. There's no evidence.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, you think Comey was a straight people who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers.
Comey was a dirty cop. They had FBI assaulted. Listen to me.
James Comey was the FBI director at the beginning of Trump's first term. He was fired long before January 6 ever happened. He years and years before. So
again, Trump is scenile, losing track of time. Number one, even if you thought James Comey was crooked, James Comey was fired by Trump years before January 6.
Number one. Number two, Kristen Welker is pointing out it's not just that hundreds of violent January 6 insurrectionists were found guilty.
Hundreds pled guilty. They admitted to beating the out of cops. So, you have no point here.
They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI go into the building. Those people walking around, they're looking, oh, isn't this that?
They weren't in. They were being ushered into the building. There's no evidence of that.
8 minutesYou had a bunch of dirty cops and frankly what they did was weaponization of our government.

Scott Pelley: What Has Happened to ‘60 Minutes’ Is a Tragedy | The Interview
The Interview
Jun 7, 2026 The Interview | A Podcast From the New York Times
Lulu Garcia-Navarro writes: It’s hard to overstate the impact of “60 Minutes” on journalism. It’s the most-watched television-news program in America. Since its debut on CBS in 1968, it’s been the home of some of the most-storied broadcast journalists, from Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley to Lesley Stahl, Anderson Cooper and, until this past week, Scott Pelley.
Pelley, who was at the network for 37 years, including as White House correspondent, anchor of the “CBS Evening News” and “60 Minutes” correspondent, was fired after an explosive series of events and much turmoil over the past few years at CBS. These events include a controversial financial settlement with President Trump over a “60 Minutes” segment; the sale of the network to David Ellison; and the appointment of Bari Weiss, a former New York Times Opinion staffer and founder of The Free Press with no television-news experience, to lead CBS News.
Pelley’s firing came after Weiss dismissed several of his colleagues and hired a new “60 Minutes” boss, Nick Bilton, whom Pelley then clashed with in a staff meeting. Pelley, along with a number of other “60 Minutes” correspondents who were fired, have now accused Weiss of editorial interference and bias, charges that CBS News and Weiss deny.
In his first sit-down interview since he was fired, Pelley told me about the specific incident he viewed as interference, about his experiences at CBS News over the past weeks and months, and about what he hopes will come of this very tumultuous time at the network where he spent most of his career.
Transcript
Donald Trump got Scott fired. It wasn't because of ratings. It certainly wasn't because he was not good enough for 60
Minutes. has become of Les and propaganda under Barry Weiss. Scott P was fired because
Donald Trump refuses to allow the media to do its job. And do you know what? The corporate media has gone along with it.
Barry Weiss and Larry Ellison are agents of this fascist administration and they will do whatever it takes to serve
Donald Trump. And that is what Scott P just made very clear. He is not leaving quietly. He is not tucking his tail
between his legs. He is continuing to be a journalist even if that means it's not on Barry Weiss's network. And that is
why after being fired and again because of Donald Trump, he has gone public and he is calling out CBS and telling all. I
cannot wait to get into the interview that he did with the New York Times and what he shared about the dumpster fire that is and why Barry Weiss
might be on her way out. But before we do, I I I just want to start with the context of what's coming next. And Lawrence O'Donnell gave a a great breakdown of that right here. Thanks to
Donald Trump's corrupt manipulation of federal law, including antitrust law, David Ellison, who used his father's money to buy the combined companies of
Paramount and CBS, has also used his father's money to buy Warner Brothers, which owns CNN.
David Ellison has now, in the words of Scott Py, murdered for Donald Trump. David Ellison yesterday fired 60
Minutes correspondent, the former CBS News anchor Scott Py for Donald Trump.
That's why that happened. That's the new ownership Donald Trump is looking forward to when David Ellison gets control of CNN.
If we think that this just stops at CBS, we have not been paying attention because Donald Trump is already threatening to fire Caitlyn Collins.
He's he's talking about how the Ellison's are going to do such a great job with CNN and they're going to change it completely because yeah, that's what
that's what Donald Trump wants. That's what this is all about. And it's not just about, you know, the propaganda that they serve up. It's about who's not
allowed to speak. And it's why Donald Trump has been opening openingly threatening Caitlyn Collins and saying
that she's going to lose her job if she doesn't fall in line, if she doesn't do what Donald Trump wants her to. This is part of a broader plan. They didn't just
buy CBS. They bought Tik Tok. Twitter is controlled by Elon. Facebook by Zuck.
They are going after all the algorithms and everything that we can and cannot see. And and Scott P knows that and he
knows that Donald Trump also is kind of a whiny little [ __ ] and and that's the reason that he's so afraid of media criticism. He said it pretty bluntly
with this clip right here before we get into the tell- all. I've never worn the uniform,
but I've been in combat for this country in Afghanistan and Iraq, Kuwait, been shot at.
Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert.
I'm not aware that the president of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment.
You become a journalist because you love the country.
And while all the other descriptions uh that the president used about me might be applicable, not that one.
There is no democracy without journalism.
It can't be done. And that is why I am a journalist.
Scott P is right. And I I love this framing of real journalism, especially in an age of which we see so many fake
journalists or so many people uh who refuse to actually speak on what matters. Jake Tapper right now is still relitigating the 2024 election. He's still talking about Joe and Jill Biden.
Hunter Biden is cooking him for that, by the way. Hunter Biden's been killing it lately. But but Scott P is right. Real journalism serves this country. Holding
people in power to account serves this country. Donald Trump has never done anything to serve this country. Scott Py certainly has. So he's absolutely right
and I appreciate and and really think that that framing is important in this given moment, especially when we know that this is an authoritarian
administration and that the corporate media is going to do whatever they can to to plate them and support them. And that is exactly what Scott P made very very clear when he told all.
Barry Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon.
Two of the things in the email include, "Can we make the protesters look more violent?"
Now, I'm paraphrasing. I don't have the quote, but that's what was communicated to me.
And the other thing was Renee Good's car. you need to describe her as driving toward the officer.
This uh is not what you see on the video. On the video, you see uh the
officer standing slightly off the front of the car and you clearly
see Miss Good's wheels turned completely as far as they will go away from the officer.
Uh but he shoots her uh in the head, kills her, and says something about her in that moment that I can't repeat uh in polite company.
So we have gone out of our way in our plan from the very beginning to show the
protesters for the responsibility that they had. We had already scrubbed the
video archives looking for those scenes, but it somehow wasn't enough for Miss Weiss.
The video showed that the officer wasn't standing in front of the car and she wasn't driving toward him. But that's what the president said about that and that's the way she wanted it described.
This comes as no surprise to anyone that Barry Weiss was going out of her way and
Larry Ellison was going out of his way to to make sure that this narrative was pushed about one of the most horrific moments of the Trump administration.
That they were doing everything possible to say what was happening in Minneapolis was was violent, was out of control, and and the the ICE thugs were justified in
their actions. Of course, this is what was this is what was happening, right?
And and and we saw it on on Twitter as well.
Like I I want to talk about, of course, what Scott P is saying here and and there's more he had to say about CBS and what's coming next. So So do stick around for that. But I I also just want
to point out that like algorithms do determine so much of what we see, right?
Like there's the media's bias is not just in what they say, but in what they do and do not show, right? It's a framing bias. It's it's what they what
they put on the airwaves versus what they don't. And that framing bias becomes especially clear with what Elon Musk has uh pushed on the Twitter
algorithm. How he uses his massive platform to make sure people are seeing what he wants, the narratives that they want to push. And that is exactly what
Barry Weiss was doing here. And it is disgusting. It is disingenuous. But also, it is an admission that they knew what they were doing was wrong. Right?
That admission also came in the form of the firing of Christine Noom, the silencing of Steven Miller, largely not enough because he's still yapping his
[ __ ] disgusting ghoul mouth. But yeah, that is what they have done. They are trying to parse the information so we can't see it. And it is why everyone
who was there in Minneapolis on the ground sharing stories and and communicating the truth was so important, why why that independent
journalism, why that on the ground reporting is so important, right? And so Scott P again is right that that is in service of the country for us to know
because Barry Weiss doesn't want you to know. Elon doesn't want you to know.
Zuck doesn't want you to know. Trump doesn't want you to know. He does not want you to see what is real and what is true, right? They they try to hide that
9 minutesevidence. But it is just not it is just not going well more broadly over at at CBS, especially , um where
Barry Weiss is a tyrant and also she's an idiot. She's failed up her entire life. Uh this is someone who has real no
real critical thinking ability. Um she's just a a goober and an idiot and has been a a useful idiot for the corporate
class. And Scott P is making that very clear with how he called her out.
My hope is uh that the leadership of Paramount will say to themselves, "Okay,
this isn't working." Um, we have broadcasts that almost don't get on the air. We have respected
journalists saying that there is a thumb on the scale for one political party over another. Um, we have a broadcast
which is uh among the most important in America, the most successful in the history of all of television.
It was doing great. So why are we making these changes?
We need adult supervision and at the moment we don't have it. We have people who have been installed in
these jobs who through no fault of their own, have no experience in television.
It's not their fault, but they don't know what they're doing.
And there's a subtle political bias that I've never seen at before.
And so or at CBS News before.
And so that that is my hope. Uh a return to sanity, a return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have all of those
things in abundance and now we don't.
We can save this.
It's possible to land this plane.
But right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire. Barry Weiss has no control. And
you know, the these people think of themselves as such like trailblazers and mavericks in whatever space they're in.
And you know, there was this interesting little conversation between uh it was David Ellison and Barry Weiss when she
was asking about firing executive producers and of course the host of . and she was asking
about it and um her her question to David Ellison was like, "How much pain can you take?" Like, "How how far are we going to go? How much pain can you
take?" And she said it in this way that she was like, "Yeah, I'm I'm a maverick.
I'm breaking things up." These people think that they're like anti-institution when she's backed by a family with
12 minuteshundreds of billions of dollars. Like, you are you are the institution, right?
You're the you're the boss and you're a bad one and nobody likes you. like you're not an outsider. You are the most insider. And I don't think these people
can ever come to terms with that and it it's just really obvious in in how they portray themselves and how they kind of
perform what they do. Um it's embarrassing. And speaking of embarrassing and magdia, I wanted to end with this. Um Hakeim Jeff is not always
killing it to say the least. I have a lot of problems with how he has not lived up to this moment. um as the leader of the party in the house, it
doesn't feel like he is sometimes, but this was a great moment and I want to give, you know, kudos sometimes when I can or if I should or if I need to. Um this is a great way to end this video.
But there's a question that's out there about how much your party is willing to stomach uh when it embraces candidates like this. I mean, Hamoi also spent a
month at a Gaza hospital where the Israelis later found a tunnel that was linked directly to one of the masterminds of the October 7th attack,
inir. Uh but he told a magazine that he saw no weapons there and it was a completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels. Uh he also volunteered in
Bosnia for a nonprofit that was later determined to be a front for al-Qaeda.
Um photos of Bin Laden were found during the raid. You know how how much are Democrats willing to stomach at the you
know when they're trying to unseat Republicans in Congress? Are are they willing to let their values go?
It's very interesting that you've asked me about candidates, many of whom haven't even confronted a Democratic primary yet, but haven't asked me a
single question about the hatred, the xenophobia, the Islamophobia, the outright racism that we see being pedled
by actual members of Congress in the Republican conference sitting in the House of Representatives right now. And by the way, what we also know is that
this Republican controlled Congress has failed the people of this country. They promised to lower costs on day one.
14 minutesCosts haven't gone down. Costs have gone up. The cost of living in this country is out of control. There are far too many people of every race, of every
region all across this country who are working hard. They're playing by the rules, but they are unable to actually
thrive. They can barely survive. People are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck. So, as House Democrats, we're going to continue to focus on driving
down the high cost of living and addressing the problems that the American people have asked us to confront.
Okay. I I've got plenty of questions on that for our next guest who is a Republican. I think it's appropriate to ask Republicans about Republicans and uh Democrats about Democrats. You're the
minority leader and you know, these are members of your conference that are going out and um campaigning with these unsaavory figures. Uh but on
this is how we should be treating MAGA Media. humiliating them constantly. Go on their networks, humiliate them. Talk about how they failed, humiliate them
all the time. Humiliate them. Good on Hakee Jeff. Let's keep some of that energy. We are certainly going to on this show. And if you want to support that, as always, you can hit that

see you
The Interview
Jun 7, 2026 The Interview | A Podcast From the New York Times
Lulu Garcia-Navarro writes: It’s hard to overstate the impact of “60 Minutes” on journalism. It’s the most-watched television-news program in America. Since its debut on CBS in 1968, it’s been the home of some of the most-storied broadcast journalists, from Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley to Lesley Stahl, Anderson Cooper and, until this past week, Scott Pelley.
Pelley, who was at the network for 37 years, including as White House correspondent, anchor of the “CBS Evening News” and “60 Minutes” correspondent, was fired after an explosive series of events and much turmoil over the past few years at CBS. These events include a controversial financial settlement with President Trump over a “60 Minutes” segment; the sale of the network to David Ellison; and the appointment of Bari Weiss, a former New York Times Opinion staffer and founder of The Free Press with no television-news experience, to lead CBS News.
Pelley’s firing came after Weiss dismissed several of his colleagues and hired a new “60 Minutes” boss, Nick Bilton, whom Pelley then clashed with in a staff meeting. Pelley, along with a number of other “60 Minutes” correspondents who were fired, have now accused Weiss of editorial interference and bias, charges that CBS News and Weiss deny.
In his first sit-down interview since he was fired, Pelley told me about the specific incident he viewed as interference, about his experiences at CBS News over the past weeks and months, and about what he hopes will come of this very tumultuous time at the network where he spent most of his career.
Transcript
Donald Trump got Scott fired. It wasn't because of ratings. It certainly wasn't because he was not good enough for 60
Minutes. has become of Les and propaganda under Barry Weiss. Scott P was fired because
Donald Trump refuses to allow the media to do its job. And do you know what? The corporate media has gone along with it.
Barry Weiss and Larry Ellison are agents of this fascist administration and they will do whatever it takes to serve
Donald Trump. And that is what Scott P just made very clear. He is not leaving quietly. He is not tucking his tail
between his legs. He is continuing to be a journalist even if that means it's not on Barry Weiss's network. And that is
why after being fired and again because of Donald Trump, he has gone public and he is calling out CBS and telling all. I
cannot wait to get into the interview that he did with the New York Times and what he shared about the dumpster fire that is and why Barry Weiss
might be on her way out. But before we do, I I I just want to start with the context of what's coming next. And Lawrence O'Donnell gave a a great breakdown of that right here. Thanks to
Donald Trump's corrupt manipulation of federal law, including antitrust law, David Ellison, who used his father's money to buy the combined companies of
Paramount and CBS, has also used his father's money to buy Warner Brothers, which owns CNN.
David Ellison has now, in the words of Scott Py, murdered for Donald Trump. David Ellison yesterday fired 60
Minutes correspondent, the former CBS News anchor Scott Py for Donald Trump.
That's why that happened. That's the new ownership Donald Trump is looking forward to when David Ellison gets control of CNN.
If we think that this just stops at CBS, we have not been paying attention because Donald Trump is already threatening to fire Caitlyn Collins.
He's he's talking about how the Ellison's are going to do such a great job with CNN and they're going to change it completely because yeah, that's what
that's what Donald Trump wants. That's what this is all about. And it's not just about, you know, the propaganda that they serve up. It's about who's not
allowed to speak. And it's why Donald Trump has been opening openingly threatening Caitlyn Collins and saying
that she's going to lose her job if she doesn't fall in line, if she doesn't do what Donald Trump wants her to. This is part of a broader plan. They didn't just
buy CBS. They bought Tik Tok. Twitter is controlled by Elon. Facebook by Zuck.
They are going after all the algorithms and everything that we can and cannot see. And and Scott P knows that and he
knows that Donald Trump also is kind of a whiny little [ __ ] and and that's the reason that he's so afraid of media criticism. He said it pretty bluntly
with this clip right here before we get into the tell- all. I've never worn the uniform,
but I've been in combat for this country in Afghanistan and Iraq, Kuwait, been shot at.
Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert.
I'm not aware that the president of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment.
You become a journalist because you love the country.
And while all the other descriptions uh that the president used about me might be applicable, not that one.
There is no democracy without journalism.
It can't be done. And that is why I am a journalist.
Scott P is right. And I I love this framing of real journalism, especially in an age of which we see so many fake
journalists or so many people uh who refuse to actually speak on what matters. Jake Tapper right now is still relitigating the 2024 election. He's still talking about Joe and Jill Biden.
Hunter Biden is cooking him for that, by the way. Hunter Biden's been killing it lately. But but Scott P is right. Real journalism serves this country. Holding
people in power to account serves this country. Donald Trump has never done anything to serve this country. Scott Py certainly has. So he's absolutely right
and I appreciate and and really think that that framing is important in this given moment, especially when we know that this is an authoritarian
administration and that the corporate media is going to do whatever they can to to plate them and support them. And that is exactly what Scott P made very very clear when he told all.
Barry Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon.
Two of the things in the email include, "Can we make the protesters look more violent?"
Now, I'm paraphrasing. I don't have the quote, but that's what was communicated to me.
And the other thing was Renee Good's car. you need to describe her as driving toward the officer.
This uh is not what you see on the video. On the video, you see uh the
officer standing slightly off the front of the car and you clearly
see Miss Good's wheels turned completely as far as they will go away from the officer.
Uh but he shoots her uh in the head, kills her, and says something about her in that moment that I can't repeat uh in polite company.
So we have gone out of our way in our plan from the very beginning to show the
protesters for the responsibility that they had. We had already scrubbed the
video archives looking for those scenes, but it somehow wasn't enough for Miss Weiss.
The video showed that the officer wasn't standing in front of the car and she wasn't driving toward him. But that's what the president said about that and that's the way she wanted it described.
This comes as no surprise to anyone that Barry Weiss was going out of her way and
Larry Ellison was going out of his way to to make sure that this narrative was pushed about one of the most horrific moments of the Trump administration.
That they were doing everything possible to say what was happening in Minneapolis was was violent, was out of control, and and the the ICE thugs were justified in
their actions. Of course, this is what was this is what was happening, right?
And and and we saw it on on Twitter as well.
Like I I want to talk about, of course, what Scott P is saying here and and there's more he had to say about CBS and what's coming next. So So do stick around for that. But I I also just want
to point out that like algorithms do determine so much of what we see, right?
Like there's the media's bias is not just in what they say, but in what they do and do not show, right? It's a framing bias. It's it's what they what
they put on the airwaves versus what they don't. And that framing bias becomes especially clear with what Elon Musk has uh pushed on the Twitter
algorithm. How he uses his massive platform to make sure people are seeing what he wants, the narratives that they want to push. And that is exactly what
Barry Weiss was doing here. And it is disgusting. It is disingenuous. But also, it is an admission that they knew what they were doing was wrong. Right?
That admission also came in the form of the firing of Christine Noom, the silencing of Steven Miller, largely not enough because he's still yapping his
[ __ ] disgusting ghoul mouth. But yeah, that is what they have done. They are trying to parse the information so we can't see it. And it is why everyone
who was there in Minneapolis on the ground sharing stories and and communicating the truth was so important, why why that independent
journalism, why that on the ground reporting is so important, right? And so Scott P again is right that that is in service of the country for us to know
because Barry Weiss doesn't want you to know. Elon doesn't want you to know.
Zuck doesn't want you to know. Trump doesn't want you to know. He does not want you to see what is real and what is true, right? They they try to hide that
9 minutesevidence. But it is just not it is just not going well more broadly over at at CBS, especially , um where
Barry Weiss is a tyrant and also she's an idiot. She's failed up her entire life. Uh this is someone who has real no
real critical thinking ability. Um she's just a a goober and an idiot and has been a a useful idiot for the corporate
class. And Scott P is making that very clear with how he called her out.
My hope is uh that the leadership of Paramount will say to themselves, "Okay,
this isn't working." Um, we have broadcasts that almost don't get on the air. We have respected
journalists saying that there is a thumb on the scale for one political party over another. Um, we have a broadcast
which is uh among the most important in America, the most successful in the history of all of television.
It was doing great. So why are we making these changes?
We need adult supervision and at the moment we don't have it. We have people who have been installed in
these jobs who through no fault of their own, have no experience in television.
It's not their fault, but they don't know what they're doing.
And there's a subtle political bias that I've never seen at before.
And so or at CBS News before.
And so that that is my hope. Uh a return to sanity, a return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have all of those
things in abundance and now we don't.
We can save this.
It's possible to land this plane.
But right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire. Barry Weiss has no control. And
you know, the these people think of themselves as such like trailblazers and mavericks in whatever space they're in.
And you know, there was this interesting little conversation between uh it was David Ellison and Barry Weiss when she
was asking about firing executive producers and of course the host of . and she was asking
about it and um her her question to David Ellison was like, "How much pain can you take?" Like, "How how far are we going to go? How much pain can you
take?" And she said it in this way that she was like, "Yeah, I'm I'm a maverick.
I'm breaking things up." These people think that they're like anti-institution when she's backed by a family with
12 minuteshundreds of billions of dollars. Like, you are you are the institution, right?
You're the you're the boss and you're a bad one and nobody likes you. like you're not an outsider. You are the most insider. And I don't think these people
can ever come to terms with that and it it's just really obvious in in how they portray themselves and how they kind of
perform what they do. Um it's embarrassing. And speaking of embarrassing and magdia, I wanted to end with this. Um Hakeim Jeff is not always

Iran Attacks Israel After Israel Attacks Beirut
Reason2Resist with Dimitri Lascaris
Jun 7, 2026
Today, Israel launched a deadly strike on the Beirut suburb of Dahieh.
It did so despite warnings from Iran that Iran would strike northern Israel if Israel bombed Beirut again.
True to its word, the Iranian military just launched a series of missiles strikes on northern Israel. Iran has dubbed this military operation as "True Promise Five".
Dimitri Lascaris is in Beirut, Lebanon today, and reports on what is happening there.
Transcript
Good day. This is Demetri Lcerosis coming to you from Beirut, Lebanon on June 7th, 2026 for Reason to Resist.
Well, as I and many others in the anti-imperialist media uh predicted
months ago, the hot war between the United States and Israel, otherwise known as the Epstein regime on the one
side and Iran on the other, has uh erupted uh again. And uh we're no longer
talking about a low-intensity conflict, I can assure you, because Iran has finally, after showing much patience
with uh the Epstein regime, launched uh True Promise 5. And I'm going to come back to that in a few minutes. What
brought us to this point? What brought us to this point is that Israel with the full support of the United States in every conceivable respect, legal
support, economic support, military support, intelligence support, has violated six ways from Sunday no less than three ceasefires
pertaining to Lebanon. The ceasefire entered into in November 2024. The ceasefire between uh Israel's principal
sponsor, the United States and Iran, entered into in the first half of April.
And another ceasefire entered into two days ago and supposedly mediated by the United States even though the United States is a co-belligerant and is in
fact driving the genocidal war on Lebanon. So three ceasefires violated over and over again. And perhaps the
most provocative of those violations by Israel occurred yesterday about 15 kilometers from where I and my
colleagues at uh Free Palestine TV were reporting in South Lebanon when Israel destroyed a vehicle with a drone strike
that was carrying a general, a brigadier general in the Lebanese National Army by the name of Wasam Sabra who is a Sunni
Muslim and a captain in the Lebanese National Army by the name of El Kuri who is a Christian and a private who is a
Shia. So at least Israel in its latest act of barbarism didn't discriminate between these various communities that
make up or largely make up uh the diverse country of Lebanon. In any case, uh I could go on and on about Israel's
violations uh just in the last alone, many of which I have reported myself. For example, today uh we were I
and uh my free Palestine TV colleagues and along with my uh my comrade from Reason to Resist, Rami Yaha, we were at
the southern tip of the Beck Valley at uh a lake, a man a human-made lake by the name of Karan. Uh it was created by a dam and feeds into the Latani River.
and we witnessed ourselves a an air strike by Israel on a peaceful village from which there was no military
activity. We observed the village for a full hour before the air strike occurred. It's a village called Smour.
Uh and this is what we saw.
Now, since arriving here about 4 days ago, I've myself documented numerous other uh violations, extreme violations
of the ceasefire by Israel. Uh I was for example in a village uh in the south of
Lebanon yesterday uh called Sakia uh in which uh the Israelis with two air strikes murdered a grandmother, her
daughter uh and three Syrian workers and injured also four family members of the murdered grandmother. Uh I just
4 minutespublished that report earlier today. Uh there was absolutely no military justification for murdering these civilians, some of whom weren't even
Lebanese. As I said, three of them were just Syrian laborers who were just scraping by in the country. And for no
possible uh, you know, logical reason, Israel decided to uh wipe them off the face of the earth. And I was the first foreign journalist who arrived there. I
don't even know if any other foreign journalists went to the scene, frankly.
Uh, but you can see my report. And you know I was also in Sur uh two days ago and uh reported on the uh near
destruction of a hospital uh by the genocidal Israeli regime and uh the destruction of banking facilities. Uh I
could again continue to recite these violations that I myself have documented and witnessed just in the four days that I've been here. And so throughout it
all, even though Trump has been posturing as somebody who is trying to restrain the [ __ ] crazy Netanyahu,
those are the words that Trump supposedly used according to Barak Ravidios in a heated conversation with Netanyahu.
The reality is that Trump uh is fully on board, has no problem whatsoever justifying, supporting, enabling uh
these grotesque ceasefire violations and war crimes and crimes against humanity by Israel. And I haven't even gotten into all the civilians who have been
slaughtered, including children being burned alive in Gaza over the last several days. So finally, Iran had
enough. It was entirely predictable that it would have enough. But the thing that really pushed it over the edge was after
issuing a warning that it would strike Israel and that any of the colonists living in the north of occupied
Palestine would have to evacuate if they wanted to save themselves in the event that Israel struck a Dia. Israel did in
fact strike Dia and it happened to do that today when we were out in the southern tip of the Becka Valley
documenting that ceasefire violation on Smar. Uh this is the uh drone strike that uh Israel launched into Dia today.
One more time.
Now, predictably, this drone strike, like so many of Israel's uh barbaric attacks killed uh innocent civilians in
Dia, which the corporate media in the West and Western governments love to describe as the Hezbollah stronghold as though that as though that somehow
justifies Israel's heinous crimes against the civilian population living there. And so, Iran uh reacted
immediately and with uh extreme uh prejudice, shall we say. I'll show you just one comment. There were numerous comments from senior Iranian leaders.
This is from the uh parliamentary speaker uh and the lead negotiator for Iran uh Mr. Bagger Galibah. He stated
they are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue and by demonstrated through the naval blockade in violation of agreements regarding Lebanon that they only understand the
language of power. Two, the naval blockade against the Iranian nation and America's green light today to the Zionist regime. Turn American and regime
bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets. The hand of our armed forces is open as always. Now,
there is plenty of evidence that Iran has now launched what it describes as true promise 5, uh, which is exactly
what it said would it would do if Israel struck Dia. So, Israel knew exactly what it was getting itself into. So too did
the United States. And yet they struck Deia on top of all the other crimes and ceasefire violations they are committing which can only lead you to one logical
inference and that is that they wanted to provoke an a reaction from Iran and resume the full-blown hot war which will
almost certainly end in disaster for the region and will quite probably plunge the global economy into a severe
recession if not an outright depression for a prolonged period of time. This is where we're at. We've been predicting here on Reason to Resist for months. I'm
very sorry to be right about this. I would have loved to have been wrong about it. I mean that in all sincerity with all my heart. Uh but when the writing is on the wall, we have an
obligation to read the writing to our audience. And that's what we tried to do here on Reason to Resist as other uh fine journalists in the uh the
alternative media. And so uh what is going on now? Well, there is video evidence of launches. Apparently, there
have been already three waves, although I can't confirm that, of missiles and drones heading towards occupied Palestine, the north of occupied
Palestine from Iran. And in fact, uh, a video has surfaced of Iranians in the streets celebrating
missiles passing overhead towards the genocidal entity.
Heat. Heat.
As you may have seen, that video was published courtesy courtesy of the Iranian media outlet Mayor News. Uh, and
uh to provide uh you know confirmation uh that uh these are in fact missiles heading towards occupied Palestine.
uh the Israeli media uh military has published or there's a map of sirens that have sounded in northern occupied
Palestine. There are numerous such maps uh that have been uh published.
Interestingly uh they are not apparent just if if these if these red dots are an accurate
indication of where uh the incoming projectiles from Iran are headed. uh they don't appear to be aimed at uh
settlements that are immediately along the border of occupied Palestine and Lebanon and that may be because uh the
Iranians don't want to put at risk uh Lebanese in the very south of Lebanon, the few that remain. Uh this is see this
seems to be a stretch uh target the target seems to be a stretch of land from Hifa uh in the north of occupied
Palestine on the Mediterranean coast up to Lake Tiberius uh and then there's a
band of land uh between the border and u uh Safed in the north of occupied
Palestine which does not appear at least based upon these maps and the sirens that are being sounded to have been targeted.
Now, where do we go from here? Uh that is the allimportant question. I think my sense is uh even though there have been
three waves, I suspect that this isn't going to be uh designed this uh this
particular uh set of waves of true promise 5 to deliver some kind of a devastating blow to Israel. I think uh
that consistently with the approach that Iran has taken to provocations by the United States in the Persian Gulf,
um it is going to attempt to inflict damage on Israel that is greatly
disproportionate to the damage that it inflicted on Daka today, but that is not designed to immediately lead to a full resumption of uh of the hot war.
However, uh knowing uh as uh we all do how uh Netanyahu and Trump behave, uh
the likely reaction of this uh strike on Israel is going to be ferocious. Uh, and again, I'd love to be wrong about that,
but based upon their long and ignominious record of extreme violence and uh, unspeakable levels of arrogance
and megalomania, uh, I would expect that their response will be designed to be far more destructive than this response, and
we're going to quickly climb up the escalation ladder and find ourselves back into a full-blown hot war. Let me talk for just a second about what this
is going to mean uh potentially for Lebanon where I'm currently situated. Uh and uh I say this out of concern for my brothers and sisters here in Lebanon.
You know, I am privileged to be able to leave. I don't plan to do that anytime soon. I'm going to stay here for at least a couple of more days. I had
planned to remain here until the 10th of June, and I'm not going to leave any sooner than that. I can assure you. And if possible, I'll remain longer. Uh but
uh I'm concerned about the well-being of my brothers and sisters here. And I suspect that now that uh Iran has
launched uh these waves of strikes on Israel, Israel will say it's taking off the gloves with respect to Beirut and it
will begin uh to bomb Beirut and particularly the southern suburb of Da mercilessly uh within the next .
uh but uh beyond that uh we can be I think reasonably sure at this stage that
we are back into uh a hot war which may or may not last long. It may just be a very intense but short uh period
exchange series of exchanges of fire which do very significant damage on both sides but uh which ultimately lead to uh
a cooling of temperatures or we could get into a level of destruction that uh surpasses our imagination and far beyond
what we saw uh in the months of March and uh in the month of March and in the f in the first half of April.
whatever uh the ultimate outcome may be in the near term of Israel's relentless
provocations with the full support of the United States.
I think we are going to see some real turmoil now in uh commodities markets, not just in the oil market uh but in commodities markets generally and
especially the oil market and the gas market and uh all of this manipulation that has been reasonably successful in
suppressing the price of oil uh during this p period of time at least in the futures market uh is going to uh prove itself to be ineffectual at this stage.
A lot of wishful thinking is about to be exploded, I would imagine. And uh we are
uh heading into an extraordinarily uh painful and dangerous period, I fear to say. Uh let us uh hope that uh some
sense and rationality manages to uh finally prevail in the halls of Western power. Uh I'm not going to hold my
breath. uh based on their records, I would expect them to descend into ever more uh ferocious uh exhibitions of
savagery and irrationality in the days ahead. And I'm not just talking here about the United States and Israel. I'm talking about uh the entire collective
west including yes the grotesque fraud known as Mark Carney, Prime Minister Goldman Sachs as I like to call him who
has been along with his disgraceful foreign minister Anita Nand a former law professor shameless cheerleaders for this criminal war of aggression. Uh on
that basis alone they should be turfed out of office. They should resign in disgrace. But no, they're riding high in the polls. At least we can say with
respect to France, Britain, Germany that the voters there have a good sense uh to give a very very
low approval rating uh to their leaders uh Mertz, Starmer and Macron. They're all in the teens as far as approval
ratings go. Uh so most people in those countries uh seem to have realized that they are led by frauds, charlatans, buffoons, and incompetent maniacs.
Unfortunately, uh those of us uh who come from Canada, who hail from Canada, at least most of Canadians, don't seem
to have uh gotten religion just yet on the depraved and degenerate nature of their leadership. In any case, uh we
will continue to report to you about what is happening in this region. And uh my thoughts uh and uh my uh compassion
and my solidarity uh go out to all the peoples of the region for the difficult days ahead. This is Dimmitri Leris coming to you from Beirut, Lebanon on June 7th, 2026.

brought us to this point? What brought us to this point is that Israel with the full support of the United States in every conceivable respect, legal
support, economic support, military support, intelligence support, has violated six ways from Sunday no less than three ceasefires
pertaining to Lebanon. The ceasefire entered into in November 2024. The ceasefire between uh Israel's principal
sponsor, the United States and Iran, entered into in the first half of April.
And another ceasefire entered into two days ago and supposedly mediated by the United States even though the United States is a co-belligerant and is in
fact driving the genocidal war on Lebanon. So three ceasefires violated over and over again. And perhaps the
most provocative of those violations by Israel occurred yesterday about 15 kilometers from where I and my
colleagues at uh Free Palestine TV were reporting in South Lebanon when Israel destroyed a vehicle with a drone strike
that was carrying a general, a brigadier general in the Lebanese National Army by the name of Wasam Sabra who is a Sunni
Muslim and a captain in the Lebanese National Army by the name of El Kuri who is a Christian and a private who is a
Shia. So at least Israel in its latest act of barbarism didn't discriminate between these various communities that
make up or largely make up uh the diverse country of Lebanon. In any case, uh I could go on and on about Israel's
violations uh just in the last alone, many of which I have reported myself. For example, today uh we were I
and uh my free Palestine TV colleagues and along with my uh my comrade from Reason to Resist, Rami Yaha, we were at
the southern tip of the Beck Valley at uh a lake, a man a human-made lake by the name of Karan. Uh it was created by a dam and feeds into the Latani River.
and we witnessed ourselves a an air strike by Israel on a peaceful village from which there was no military
activity. We observed the village for a full hour before the air strike occurred. It's a village called Smour.
Uh and this is what we saw.
Now, since arriving here about 4 days ago, I've myself documented numerous other uh violations, extreme violations
of the ceasefire by Israel. Uh I was for example in a village uh in the south of
Lebanon yesterday uh called Sakia uh in which uh the Israelis with two air strikes murdered a grandmother, her
daughter uh and three Syrian workers and injured also four family members of the murdered grandmother. Uh I just
4 minutespublished that report earlier today. Uh there was absolutely no military justification for murdering these civilians, some of whom weren't even
Lebanese. As I said, three of them were just Syrian laborers who were just scraping by in the country. And for no
possible uh, you know, logical reason, Israel decided to uh wipe them off the face of the earth. And I was the first foreign journalist who arrived there. I
don't even know if any other foreign journalists went to the scene, frankly.
Uh, but you can see my report. And you know I was also in Sur uh two days ago and uh reported on the uh near
destruction of a hospital uh by the genocidal Israeli regime and uh the destruction of banking facilities. Uh I
could again continue to recite these violations that I myself have documented and witnessed just in the four days that I've been here. And so throughout it
all, even though Trump has been posturing as somebody who is trying to restrain the [ __ ] crazy Netanyahu,
those are the words that Trump supposedly used according to Barak Ravidios in a heated conversation with Netanyahu.
The reality is that Trump uh is fully on board, has no problem whatsoever justifying, supporting, enabling uh
these grotesque ceasefire violations and war crimes and crimes against humanity by Israel. And I haven't even gotten into all the civilians who have been
slaughtered, including children being burned alive in Gaza over the last several days. So finally, Iran had
enough. It was entirely predictable that it would have enough. But the thing that really pushed it over the edge was after
issuing a warning that it would strike Israel and that any of the colonists living in the north of occupied
Palestine would have to evacuate if they wanted to save themselves in the event that Israel struck a Dia. Israel did in
fact strike Dia and it happened to do that today when we were out in the southern tip of the Becka Valley
documenting that ceasefire violation on Smar. Uh this is the uh drone strike that uh Israel launched into Dia today.
One more time.
Now, predictably, this drone strike, like so many of Israel's uh barbaric attacks killed uh innocent civilians in
Dia, which the corporate media in the West and Western governments love to describe as the Hezbollah stronghold as though that as though that somehow
justifies Israel's heinous crimes against the civilian population living there. And so, Iran uh reacted
immediately and with uh extreme uh prejudice, shall we say. I'll show you just one comment. There were numerous comments from senior Iranian leaders.
This is from the uh parliamentary speaker uh and the lead negotiator for Iran uh Mr. Bagger Galibah. He stated
they are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue and by demonstrated through the naval blockade in violation of agreements regarding Lebanon that they only understand the
language of power. Two, the naval blockade against the Iranian nation and America's green light today to the Zionist regime. Turn American and regime
bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets. The hand of our armed forces is open as always. Now,
there is plenty of evidence that Iran has now launched what it describes as true promise 5, uh, which is exactly
what it said would it would do if Israel struck Dia. So, Israel knew exactly what it was getting itself into. So too did
the United States. And yet they struck Deia on top of all the other crimes and ceasefire violations they are committing which can only lead you to one logical
inference and that is that they wanted to provoke an a reaction from Iran and resume the full-blown hot war which will
almost certainly end in disaster for the region and will quite probably plunge the global economy into a severe
recession if not an outright depression for a prolonged period of time. This is where we're at. We've been predicting here on Reason to Resist for months. I'm
very sorry to be right about this. I would have loved to have been wrong about it. I mean that in all sincerity with all my heart. Uh but when the writing is on the wall, we have an
obligation to read the writing to our audience. And that's what we tried to do here on Reason to Resist as other uh fine journalists in the uh the
alternative media. And so uh what is going on now? Well, there is video evidence of launches. Apparently, there
have been already three waves, although I can't confirm that, of missiles and drones heading towards occupied Palestine, the north of occupied
Palestine from Iran. And in fact, uh, a video has surfaced of Iranians in the streets celebrating
missiles passing overhead towards the genocidal entity.
Heat. Heat.
As you may have seen, that video was published courtesy courtesy of the Iranian media outlet Mayor News. Uh, and
uh to provide uh you know confirmation uh that uh these are in fact missiles heading towards occupied Palestine.
uh the Israeli media uh military has published or there's a map of sirens that have sounded in northern occupied
Palestine. There are numerous such maps uh that have been uh published.
Interestingly uh they are not apparent just if if these if these red dots are an accurate
indication of where uh the incoming projectiles from Iran are headed. uh they don't appear to be aimed at uh
settlements that are immediately along the border of occupied Palestine and Lebanon and that may be because uh the
Iranians don't want to put at risk uh Lebanese in the very south of Lebanon, the few that remain. Uh this is see this
seems to be a stretch uh target the target seems to be a stretch of land from Hifa uh in the north of occupied
Palestine on the Mediterranean coast up to Lake Tiberius uh and then there's a
band of land uh between the border and u uh Safed in the north of occupied
Palestine which does not appear at least based upon these maps and the sirens that are being sounded to have been targeted.
Now, where do we go from here? Uh that is the allimportant question. I think my sense is uh even though there have been
three waves, I suspect that this isn't going to be uh designed this uh this
particular uh set of waves of true promise 5 to deliver some kind of a devastating blow to Israel. I think uh
that consistently with the approach that Iran has taken to provocations by the United States in the Persian Gulf,
um it is going to attempt to inflict damage on Israel that is greatly
disproportionate to the damage that it inflicted on Daka today, but that is not designed to immediately lead to a full resumption of uh of the hot war.
However, uh knowing uh as uh we all do how uh Netanyahu and Trump behave, uh
the likely reaction of this uh strike on Israel is going to be ferocious. Uh, and again, I'd love to be wrong about that,
but based upon their long and ignominious record of extreme violence and uh, unspeakable levels of arrogance
and megalomania, uh, I would expect that their response will be designed to be far more destructive than this response, and
we're going to quickly climb up the escalation ladder and find ourselves back into a full-blown hot war. Let me talk for just a second about what this
is going to mean uh potentially for Lebanon where I'm currently situated. Uh and uh I say this out of concern for my brothers and sisters here in Lebanon.
You know, I am privileged to be able to leave. I don't plan to do that anytime soon. I'm going to stay here for at least a couple of more days. I had
planned to remain here until the 10th of June, and I'm not going to leave any sooner than that. I can assure you. And if possible, I'll remain longer. Uh but
uh I'm concerned about the well-being of my brothers and sisters here. And I suspect that now that uh Iran has
launched uh these waves of strikes on Israel, Israel will say it's taking off the gloves with respect to Beirut and it
will begin uh to bomb Beirut and particularly the southern suburb of Da mercilessly uh within the next .
uh but uh beyond that uh we can be I think reasonably sure at this stage that
we are back into uh a hot war which may or may not last long. It may just be a very intense but short uh period
exchange series of exchanges of fire which do very significant damage on both sides but uh which ultimately lead to uh
a cooling of temperatures or we could get into a level of destruction that uh surpasses our imagination and far beyond
what we saw uh in the months of March and uh in the month of March and in the f in the first half of April.
whatever uh the ultimate outcome may be in the near term of Israel's relentless
provocations with the full support of the United States.
I think we are going to see some real turmoil now in uh commodities markets, not just in the oil market uh but in commodities markets generally and
especially the oil market and the gas market and uh all of this manipulation that has been reasonably successful in
suppressing the price of oil uh during this p period of time at least in the futures market uh is going to uh prove itself to be ineffectual at this stage.
A lot of wishful thinking is about to be exploded, I would imagine. And uh we are
uh heading into an extraordinarily uh painful and dangerous period, I fear to say. Uh let us uh hope that uh some
sense and rationality manages to uh finally prevail in the halls of Western power. Uh I'm not going to hold my
breath. uh based on their records, I would expect them to descend into ever more uh ferocious uh exhibitions of
savagery and irrationality in the days ahead. And I'm not just talking here about the United States and Israel. I'm talking about uh the entire collective
west including yes the grotesque fraud known as Mark Carney, Prime Minister Goldman Sachs as I like to call him who
has been along with his disgraceful foreign minister Anita Nand a former law professor shameless cheerleaders for this criminal war of aggression. Uh on
that basis alone they should be turfed out of office. They should resign in disgrace. But no, they're riding high in the polls. At least we can say with
respect to France, Britain, Germany that the voters there have a good sense uh to give a very very
low approval rating uh to their leaders uh Mertz, Starmer and Macron. They're all in the teens as far as approval
ratings go. Uh so most people in those countries uh seem to have realized that they are led by frauds, charlatans, buffoons, and incompetent maniacs.
Unfortunately, uh those of us uh who come from Canada, who hail from Canada, at least most of Canadians, don't seem
to have uh gotten religion just yet on the depraved and degenerate nature of their leadership. In any case, uh we
will continue to report to you about what is happening in this region. And uh my thoughts uh and uh my uh compassion
and my solidarity uh go out to all the peoples of the region for the difficult days ahead. This is Dimmitri Leris coming to you from Beirut, Lebanon on June 7th, 2026.

The Islamic Republic of Iran had repeatedly declared that it would not tolerate violations of the ceasefire or aggression against Lebanon. Tonight, the aggressors received their response. This response is a warning for them to cease their villainy; every new action will be met with a more crushing response and heavier costs.

More missile strikes by Iran as Netanyahu defies Trump; Houthis block Red Sea | Janta Ka Reporter

Iran has launched more missile strikes after Benjamin Netanyahu defied US President Donald Trump on his request to not escalate. Yemen's Houthis too have joined the conflict, firing two rounds of missiles while announcing a blockade of the Red Sea. Rifat Jawaid examines the renewed confidence of the Iranian military after a prolonged period of ceasefire.
Transcript
Iran has fired more missiles targeting Israeli military infrastructure after the settler colony ignored Donald Trump's request to not escalate. This has truly exposed the deranged occupant of the White House and his fake power that he claims to wield over war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Yemen and Ansarallah fighters, also known as the Houthis, too have hit the illegal settler colony with two rounds of ballistic missiles as they announced the closure of the Babel Man deb Strait. The Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson has warned Egypt to stay out of the conflict after it emerges that the country was supplying Rafael jets to the UAE to be used against Iran. This will be the broad focus of my video today. Also in this video, Sky News reporter earns condemnation for it's questionable reporting from the occupied Palestinian territories. So, please stay tuned.
So, Iran has hit back at the settler colony making it absolutely clear that it meant business and the Islamic Republic will not tolerate any more
military transgressions by the rogue regime of bloodthirsty terrorist Netanyahu. This was after the war criminal wanted by the International
Criminal Court showed the middle finger to his slave from the White House and bombed parts of Iran. Remember Trump had
told his terrorist Israeli master yesterday to not respond to the Iranian strikes. He had also told Financial
Times that human devil Netanyahu will have no option but to accept a deal between Iran and the US. But as has been
the case, the delusional fool from the White House was exposed in no time.
Tonight, in a phone call with Fox News, President Trump reacting to Iran's attack on Israel, reportedly saying, quote, "What I would suggest to Iran,
you've shot your missiles. That's enough. Get back to the table and make a deal." And in another call tonight, Trump reportedly telling Axios he was
about to phone Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and tell him not to retaliate by attacking Iran. Iranian expert parci
had told Al Jazzer last night that if terrorist Netanyahu defied Trump, it isn't Iran's deterrence that is put in
question, but Trump's own credibility since he had so explicitly told his Israeli boss to not strike back. So does
that mean that the negotiators are now going to have to go back to the drawing board and recalculate things and consider that okay well maybe actually
we have to include Lebanon as part of any kind of potential ceasefire deal.
I think Lebanon frankly already was included. We already saw a couple of days ago when the Iranians were about to attack Israel that that is the moment
that Trump made that phone call to the Israelis and a very colorful phone call pushing them to back down, which they did temporarily. But what we always have
seen with the Israelis is that even if they back down temporarily, they find a way to uh wiggle themselves out of any promise they've made to the United
States and a couple of days later they did strike. Now, this pattern may repeat itself over here. If that happens, what it does ultimately is that it doesn't
ruin Iran's deterrence. It ruins the credibility the United States has or should have when it comes to being able
and willing to restrain the Israelis in a sustainable way. In more setbacks to the US and the settler colony, the
Ansarah fighters, also known as the Houthis, two have joined the latest round of conflict as they fired two
rounds of missiles into Israel. The military spokesperson Yahi Assari announced that the Houthis had now
started the blockade of the strategically important Babel Mandab trade. If this happens, the oil prices
in the international market will skyrocket and will be very difficult to control.
The Iranian strikes on Israel left many surprised. As I said in my last video, this is the first time Iran has decided
to hit Israel even though its own territory was not being attacked. This shows a new sense of confidence in the
Iranian military. It was also clear in the manner in which Iran responded to each American military transgression in
recent days. Listen to this journalist from Lebanon, Hadi Hot. The Iranian response after the Israeli strike on
Dahi today was uh very surprising for many people. First, it was surprising
even for us in Lebanon as this is the first time after uh the war where Iran
attacks Israel without Israel attacking Iran itself. So Iran now is uh clearly
making a very important statement that all of what happened and all of the attacks against Iran did not make Iran
lose its uh regional uh weight, regional political weight and regional deterrence
also. Uh this is very important regarding Iran. Second, regarding the situation here in Lebanon, it's also a
very important moment, the resistance people here and the resistance itself.
Uh this is also the first time after this uh war where the people here uh
understand that uh Iran is with them in this uh battle in this war that is continuing here in South Lebanon. not
only by the political pressure that is exerting in uh Pakistan but also there is red lines that if the Israelis uh
crossed Iran itself will be entering the war to make the Israelis accountable and
to respond and to uh make these red lines very clear for everyone.
The settler colony imposes ruthless censorship on the reporting of the damages caused by Iranian missiles. But
according to local sources, one Iranian missile directly hit the Itamar settlement in the northern West Bank,
destroying at least four buildings. Iran also hit the Navatim and Telto air bases, causing significant damages.
Meanwhile, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson has warned Egypt to stay out of the conflict after some reports
said that the pro-Israeli LCC government was in the process of supplying Rafael fighter jets to the UAE for future use against Iran.

Hey, well done.
[cheering]
[screaming]
I will now leave you with this broadcast by UK Sky News whose reporter Adam Parsons earned condemnation from social
media users for implying that Jerusalem was indeed an Israeli territory. He
described Jerusalem as part of this country meaning Israel. He doesn't explain which part of Jerusalem he was
in. This is how western media outlets legitimize every single illegal action of this barbaric settler colony.
Yeah. Welcome to Jerusalem where there is presently an uneasy peace over this city, this country uh and this region
while we hold our breath to see what will happen next.

Welcome back everyone. Welcome back to the show. It's your host Danny Haiphong. As you can see, I am joined by Elijah
Magnier, war correspondent and independent journalist. Everyone hit the like button as you come on. Elijah, good to see you.
Hello, Danny. And thank you for having me. It's good to be with you. Yes, good to be with you as always.
Well, Elijah, I wanted to ask you if you could help recount the events overnight because we saw uh in retaliation to
Israel's bombing of Beirut, Dia, and uh the capital of Lebanon, uh we saw Iran
launch uh multiple strikes actually because Israel did respond with bombings of its own in Iran. But initially it
looked like somewhat between 10 to 20 missiles uh were fired into Israel into the northern settlements into Hifa and
various areas. Uh here's just a little bit of a rundown of the kind of missiles that were used. Then Israel uh hit a
prochemical plant and Iran responded in kind with another barrage of missiles,
wave of missile strikes. Could you help uh could you uh help the audience understand what exactly happened? Maybe you can help summarize the events. We know also that Yemen got involved.
They've closed the Babel Menddeep Straight, the Red Sea to Israeli affiliated ships and Donald Trump was
very eager to stop the as what he called it shooting. And I'll pull up some of these uh developments as you talk so
people get a bit of understanding visually how things went down. But uh help uh assess the situation. What happened? Give us a rundown and your analysis of it.
Everything has started when the Iranians and the Americans have reached an agreement not only of the ceasefire but
to end the war in the Middle East. The Americans agreed on that as a first point forwarded by the Iranians to the
Pakistani in Islamabad and the Americans acknowledge that upon the return of the
American envoy, the Americans said, well actually Lebanon is not included and that denied by the Pakistani mediator
saying no, Iran included Lebanon in the first point and This gave the free uh
hand for the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bomb Lebanon and mainly the south of Lebanon and the Bea
Valley. What Netanyahu has been doing is to destroy and flatten completely
uh dozens of villages in the south of Lebanon exactly as he did in Rafa which
the Iranian uh the uh Iranian watch that and the Israelis uh promised to do that
uh saying that south of Lebanon will be exactly the copy of what they have done in Rafa.
And what they have done in Rafa they moved houses, cemeteries, schools, university, hospitals,
uh roads, infrastructure, everything. So the whole area in Rafa is flat. There is
no indication whatsoever of any civilian or civilization that has been living
there before the war. So this is what the Israelis are doing in the south of Lebanon. uh because Hezbollah is a
hybrid actor. So it is not a an army doesn't have an army that can stand
against the the most sophisticated modern Israeli army supported by the United States and supplied with weapon
by Germany and the West with intelligence etc. There is no comparison between the two armies. This is why
Hezbollah's act of resistance is to try and inflict the maximum damage on the long term uh
on Israel. However, because the conduct of Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister Israel Katz, the the the time is really not in favor of Hezbollah.
Even if Hezbollah doesn't have a choice, uh the rapid
destruction of the Israeli machine is overwhelming in the south of Lebanon.
But the Israelis are suffering casualties on daily basis because Hezbollah is using drone and is trying
to make the life of the Israelis as difficult as possible on the very small
scale of course. Now, the Israelis said to the Hezbollah trying to impose a new
rule of engagement, if you bomb any of the uh northern areas occupied by
Israel, we're going to bomb the suburb of Beirut. So, the Iran the Israelis wanted to look for an excuse to bomb
that area. and Iran frustrated since the ceasefire wanted to come in into the
battle but was preparing for the war. So in case it goes into the battle and the
Israeli retaliates including the Americans then uh there's a possibility
that this war would last another 40 days or two months or even more. So it was not really clear for Iran. It's important to be ready for a long war.
This is when Hezbollah fired missile on the northern of Israel. And it is inevitable because the Israelis are
firing um artillery using the air force against the entire area of the south of
Lebanon. They've started with the uh Asian city of Taya and then they moved to the suburb of Siden. We're talking
about 40 kilometers from Beirut, the Becca Valley. So they are really uh
issuing evacuation orders to civilians in we're talking about more than 150
villages and cities which is more than any country can absorb because all the
internally displaced people have gone to the uh capital Beirut and they are
really uh squeezed in a very small area, we're talking about 26 27 square
kilmters, which is very small. But starting to bond the suburb of Beirut, we're talking about displacing more than
or less 700 to 800,000 people. Already, there are more than 1,300,000 Lebanese displaced from the south of
Lebanon and the Bea Valley. So, that would be too much to bear. And then Israel said, "I'm going to bomb the
suburb of Beirut." Iran warned Israel, "If you bomb the suburb of Beirut, Iran will bomb the northern Israel." And this
is what happened. The Israelis bombed the suburb of Beirut thinking that Iran is not going to retaliate. And Israel
was not the only one. many Lebanese who are against Hezbollah or pro- American, pro-Israelis,
Arabs around the Gulf countries who did not support Gaza or do not support the
resistance were very skeptical about the Iranian promise. And what happened is last night
Iran bombed Israel and bombed the north of Israel only by retaliating because
the Israelis retaliated to the bomb uh to the bombing of the north of Israel.
Then Iran was free to bomb everywhere in Israel and this is where the tit forat started. What is important to mention is
this is the first time in the history of Israel after 1949.
So we talking about after Egypt in uh a very long time but in modern um modern
warfare we don't have a country that start attacking Israel and
uh we see Iran moving from a strategic patient to strategic deterrence. We see
Iran taking initiative to initiate the bombing of Israel which is highly significant for the Israelis. It means
that the promise of Benjamin Netanyahu to impose deterrence and he is he called
the security man. So he's the one who look for the security of Israel and is ready to bomb any capital which he
bombed seven countries uh in the last three years only to impose the Israeli
uh supremacy and um power over the rest of the Middle
East. So that hit changed the equation and by changing the equation it kind of
damaged the image of Israel as a regional power that can dominate the Middle East and introduced the fact that
actually Iran is not only there to receive a an attack initiated by Israel
as it happened in June 2025 or by Israel and the United States as happened in February.
2026 but actually it can take the initiative and bomb Israel. So Donald Trump intervene and ask everyone to
stop. I don't know if uh that was genuine but because Ansarah in Yemen
initiated the first uh participation of the war where Iran is involved in the
past. Ansarah participated to to the support of Gaza and the Palestinian people but not Iran. That gave an
indication that actually not the straight of can be shut down. Iran promised to shut down the straight of
homes, the Babel Mandib, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. It is not something that Donald Trump can stomach and the
rest of the world will not accept a major economic crisis in case this
happens. So Donald Trump who uh instruct the central command of the US sentcom
that Israel is part of and coordinate with all the Israeli attack and the
interception of all the Iranian missiles and drone uh inevitably supported Israel but
because the determination of Iran to start a war because Donald Trump doesn't
believe that Israel will have the upper hand. So he rushed to stop it. Now there is a big question. Iran said it will
retaliate against Israel if Israel continue bombing the south of Lebanon
and Beirut. Now Israel regaining the bombardment of the south of Lebanon but
stopped on the suburb of Beirut. And there is an equation there that the south of uh the the suburb of Beirut
cannot be touched otherwise Iran will jump in and will join the war. for this south of Lebanon. I think there is a lot
of talk between this Pakistani and the Americans having giving a break of a
short period of time that Iran allowed in order for the Americans to convince the Israelis to stop the bombing of the south of Lebanon and end the war.
Yeah. Uh a great summary, Elijah. Now, uh maybe before I definitely want to get into Donald Trump's reaction overall to
this, uh because there were a few different times it seemed like he had to go public uh with his reactions. There was a phone call with Netanyahu. But
before that, uh what was the significance of Iran's particular targeting? Uh there are reports about uh
Ramadavid air base was the uh I guess uh most uh well-known target uh where Iran
13 minutessaid that it was the source of the uh bombing of the suburbs of Beirut. So what was the significance of this? What did Iran actually target and uh why?
The uh Ramat air base is the base where all the Israeli attack. We're talking about drones and air force and
helicopter. They attack uh Lebanon on a regular basis on daily basis several
times per day. attacking that base is significant because it's a the heart of the attack of the Israelis against
Lebanon. Uh that's one that was one of the targets. The second target was Hifa and that's also important. And after the
uh Israeli bombing of Iran, the Iranians bombed the suburb of Tel Aviv around Jerusalem
Ashud. So they bombed a a very large part of the Israeli geography where more
more than uh 7 to 8 million people went to the shelter. That was the dimension
of the bombing. Now what the Israelis have really hit it is not something that
the Israelis um what what the Iranians have hit is not something that the Israelis share. And since the beginning
of this attack, the Israelis warned the population not to share any video and
people were uh very strict about not sharing videos, but that will come out later and the information will be
revealed later. Nevertheless, we know that there were several explosion of missiles registered in different parts of Israel.
Yeah, I mean there were reports Elijah that um Israel was using uh defense and air defense interceptors produced within
the last year alone. So uh signaling that they are quite depleted. So it would be very unrealistic to believe
that none of these missiles reached their target. Um, so Elijah, now to Donald Trump's
reaction, and I'm just going to pull up uh a few of his reactions because I do believe that they are very telling in
the sense that uh many people have different views on why Donald Trump reacts the way he does to
these kind of events immediately as Iran began striking Israel uh and then Israel began striking Iran. Iran. Uh he said
Israel and Iran must immediately stop the shooting and then announced later on that both sides were looking for an
immediate ceasefire in the final negotiations on peace are proceeding. Uh there were reports that Donald Trump had
essentially told Israel not to retaliate against Iran. Uh Israel did it anyway.
And then there was this idea of some kind of both side ceasefire. And Iran has said that they only are halting
attacks so long as Lebanon uh does not continue to receive uh Israel's strikes
and uh Israel doesn't of course strike Iran. So I don't think they really are articulating a ceasefire as such. But
what do you make of Donald Trump's reaction? He was very it seemed very very very panicked. Some people think that that's like plausible deniability
because uh uh with Israel strikes there was likely US uh involvement and coordination. But what do you make of of all of this?
There are two really different theories here. First that the Americans and the Israelis play a lot the uh role of a
17 minutesgood cop bad cop. So uh they distribute the roles among them when Donald Trump
seems very angry uh because of what Benjamin Netanyahu did. But Netanyahu cannot contradict Donald Trump because
he is the one he's the maestro even if he's not very clever and he doesn't understand anything about politics.
However, he is the one conducting the war in a sense where he is advised when he needs to stop and when he can
continue. Now, bear in mind that Israel cannot fly 1,400 to 1,700 kilometers and
return with its jets without an air supply and the air supply needs to be
performed above Iraq and Syria. So this is where sencom interveneed which mean
that the Americans are fully aware what the Israelis were doing. Now be always
we understand like in Qatar when the Israelis bombed Qatar tried to assassinate Hamas leaders uh Donald
Trump said I have no idea about it and scolded Israel which is untrue because
uh the US has uh the biggest uh major
air base in Alade in Qatar and an Israeli jet cannot fly all the way to
Qatar and commit uh a target assassination without the knowledge of the Americans. So that is extremely
skeptical uh position where the Americans are playing like they did not know and
normally Donald Trump plays it when things don't go well because uh failure doesn't have any father and this is
where Donald Trump uh tried to keep a distance and Benjamin Netanyahu takes the blame. Now there are issues that we
need to understand in this uh fight and what happened uh last night and today.
The main issue is Washington and Tel Aviv sought to compartment to to put the
Lebanese and the Iranian front into compartments and separate them. But Thran merged them into one single
strategic equation and demanded the total end of the war. So that also comes when the negotiations between the US and
Iran reach a deadlock despite Donald Trump announcement that the war is over.
Now we heard the def the the American defense minister saying that the war is over. We heard Marco Rubio telling the
Congress that the war is over but nothing has been achieved. I don't think the Iranians are willing to give Donald
Trump anything before the uh midterm elections. I don't think the Iranians are in a hurry to accept any deal if
Donald Trump is not ready to give them the 24 billions as a first down payment of their own money that are frozen in
different countries around the world. So for that the Americans need to come out of a way of their way and accept to give
Iran these sums that I doubt Donald Trump is ready for that. This is why we
see what's happening really has other dimension than uh what we see in front of our eyes unfolding.
and Elijah uh you know the scenes of course Israel there was a total blackout as you said so we don't we didn't have the scenes like we did earlier in this
conflict Israelis running to their shelters but we we do know that that was likely happening but the scenes in Iran
very much different in terms and I want to ask you what you believe the significance of this is because you know as the missiles were flying Iranians
were in the streets uh celebrating the launches uh toward Israel And these are just some of the video footage coming
out of that. And then here is another one of Iranians flooding the streets uh
celebrating as Israel is uh was getting uh these missile strikes launched toward
them. Uh so what what do you make I mean this has been a a daily occurrence since the war began. Iranians have been in the
streets rallying uh rallying in defense of their country, rallying um you know against the aggressors and uh uh but the
scene is very different of course on the other side. What's the significance of this if any uh in the overall uh calculations of this war
graphy? The um uh the uh area occupied by Israel is around 20,000 square
kilometers. Iran is 1,648,000 kilometers square kilometers. Therefore, the Iranians can be a bit everywhere.
They are a large population. We're talking about almost 90 million people and uh they were confident that their
country took the initiative for the first time and bombed Israel. It brings
joy to the um Iranian feeling because they love their country regardless if
they agree or disagree with the current government. Uh that's one. Two, there
are very few Iranians who stood against Iran during this war because the majority really supported their country
against the US and Israel because the two were destroying the infrastructure.
They were not uh removing the ruling system. They were trying to create a havoc in the country, arming the
separatist Kurds in the norththeast of Iran so they can create
a chaos in the country. This is not what the majority of the Iran Elijah, we seem to be losing you a bit.
Um, sorry. Yeah, you're you're uh continue. Yeah, maybe you can just restart that thought.
Yeah, sorry. So, because um I was saying that the Iranians uh don't want really to see
their country destroy and this is what the Israelis were aiming to destroy the country, to destroy the infrastructure of the country and this is why the
Iranians stood against this war. Now they are in the street celebrating because they're happy to see the Israelis paying a price and they're
happy to see Iran defending uh Lebanon because Lebanon stood with Iran and fought alongside Iran. But Iran
broke the narrative of having Hezbollah as a the proxy because it is
Iran that went to fight on behalf of Hezbollah and not vice versa. It is the the demonstration that Iran looks after
its allies and try to protect its allies and try to look after them but is ready
to pay the price on their behalf and go to war but not for one day. Iran was ready to go to war for weeks and months
on behalf of Lebanon to protect Lebanon because Lebanon was the weakest part in
the equation and the Israelis were bombing in a barbaric way the south of Lebanon and the destruction was devastating and Iran could not watch it.
So it shows the relationship between Iran and its allies that is actually it's a relationship of respect and
support and not asking anything in exchange because in this case Lebanon has very little to offer to Iran. And to
add to that my last point is when the Lebanese president Joseph own comes out on the CNN and said Iran is using
Lebanon as a bargaining chip. Well, actually this is a demonstration that Iran is paying the price not signing a
deal until there is an end of the war in Lebanon and can sort out be a little bit more flexible on all the other issues.
For example, instead of 24 billion, it can accept 12 at the beginning and then
another 12 in 30 or 60 days that Donald Trump is very much willing to give the
uh enriched uranium. they can pass them on to the IAEA to extract them and create an international coalition to
come and um take all the enrichment urrainment of 60% that is buried under
the mountain of fordo that also Iran can be flexible with the um the straight of
home was Iran can ask fees for services and security exactly like Turkey and that also American the Americans are
flex ible with. So the main problem here is Iran defending Lebanon and not
Lebanon using it using Iran or Lebanon defending Iran or fighting on behalf of Iran. And that requires a lot of
courage, dedication and faithfulness that an entire nation in Iran is paying
the price to stop this destruction happening in the south of Lebanon.
Yeah. Uh and Elijah, I mean it is unprecedented in many ways uh what we witness. Do you see this as a another uh
phase of of this war? Because I mean Iran's been clear since the beginning of whatever we want to call these
deliberations, talks, what have you, or maybe the uh attempt for the US to kind of wiggle its way out of defeat uh these negotiations supposedly to end the war.
Iran has been very clear since the very beginning that Lebanon was always a part of this in large part because of the solidarity you mentioned and also I mean
this the this latest iteration of Israel's uh just absolutely horrific and inhumane and and criminal response to
Lebanon happened almost as if Israel was trying to take advantage of the attacks on Iran to punish Lebanon and of course
to uh achieve their seemingly unachievable dream of destroying Hezbollah. What's your thoughts?
What's the question?
Uh do we do you see this as a another a new phase of the war now given that Iran has put uh a muscle behind its promises and its vows?
Yes, I think uh the Iranian and will not allow the Israelis to have
a free hand if the bombing of the south of Lebanon continue for several days and
Israel continue the destruction of these south of Lebanon area and the cities
there. Now Israel can do that for a few days but if we look at the is what the Israelis are doing they're not really
achieving any strategic game just destruction for the last three years Benjamin Netanyahu has been destroying
Gaza Lebanon and Iran part of Iran but there are no achievement Hamas is still
29 minutesthere is still there the Iranian ruling system is still as it is stronger than
ever Iran has regain its power otherwise it did not challenge Israel knowing that
the Americans are there to support the Israelis. So all that shows that the Iranians are growing a bit impatient
with the uh Israelis and the American people also are expressing their
disagreement of what Donald Trump is doing. We've seen the Congress voting against the war in Iran. But even if
that is not significant practically speaking and they will not stop Donald Trump from continuing what he want to do
in Iran. However, it it's it is sending a very strong message that actually the Congress is not supporting Donald Trump.
The population according to the recent statistics 62% of the Americans are against the war on
Iran. So the only people who support this war are the Israeli uh people society and Benjamin Netanyahu and his
government. So all that has a certain limit. Iran has been demonized for 47
years. This war was unlawful announced uh by the American and the Israelis
together starting a war only according to what Trump and Marco Yub told us
because Israel was going to war anywhere uh and any anyway against Iran on its
own. So the American join in and there's rhetoric about the Iranian will not have
ever a nuclear bomb. I think Iran fully agree with that and never seized the nuclear bomb. So this narrative that is
repeated after every question now it's obvious for people that it's just a lie to cover up uh the the real reason
behind this war is to change the ruling system in Iran and steal its natural resources. And Donald Trump said I want
the oil. That is the objective as he said exactly the same during his first term about Syria and he said I want the
oil and he was taking it. Unfortunately for him in Iran, he's not managing to take the oil. Even if he set up a
blockade outside the straight of Hormwoods, the Iranians have the capability to bomb uh the US Navy in
case of need and the Americans are no longer confiscating Iranian tankers, but sending them back and preventing them
from crossing uh occasionally because some of the tankers have crossed. So in
as if we take all that as a whole, we understand that Iran is encouraged by
all these elements to start and initiate the attack against Israel. And in fact
today surprisingly it was not very um
much a surprise to see a condemn on the Iranian initiating the attack against
Israel because Israel is now known by the majority of the world population to be a genocidal regime and killing
children in Gaza and in Lebanon, destroying the civilian infrastru infrastructure wherever they go. They
the Israeli army is stealing, is destroying, is raping and all that is really indignated by the population
worldwide. And this is why at the first beginning when Iran was attacked in June 2025, there was no much sympathy for
Iran. Today the situation has changed and today Iran is more uh is gaining
more support and more sympathy around the world than in the last 47 years because the western narrative managed
indeed to demonize Iran throughout the years showing them that they are the
evil, they are the bad people. But when everybody is watching the Iranians who are with the government and against the
government standing with Iran against the US and the Americans, the situation has changed.
Yeah. And um uh some uh new information is coming out uh Elijah about these uh
panicked in uh responses by Donald Trump and the US administration that Donald Trump said
uh reportedly to channel 12 that uh he was uh communicating to Netanyahu that
he might be alone against Iran very soon if he continues on with strikes on Lebanon. And initially when uh Israel
conducted these strikes on Lebanon, which crossed Iran's red line, uh Trump reportedly said that uh these were not
authorized by the United States and that uh he should uh cease and he should cease immediately. Netanyahu should
pursuing this. But uh nonetheless, you know, as you mentioned earlier that there's this like good cop bad cop thing going on. Sometimes they reverse roles.
Sometime you know uh we know that Netanyahu has said something to the effect of there's some tactical differences and how to address things in
the region. But it seems that uh regardless of uh what kind of game these
two might be playing uh the results almost come out the same where it almost feels like we had a unlike the 12- day
war as you said Iran was not the one on the back foot defending itself. it was
taking initiative here, but the way that Trump responded felt like a very sped up
uh uh 12-day war scenario where he was coming in and uh you know uh trying to
act like he was stopping things and uh ultimately the results ended up being that yeah, Israel had to stop attacking
Iran and uh is now potentially uh uh you know digging itself a bigger
hole by uh uh you know flaunting Iran's warnings. So what's your thoughts on this?
Well, it is not new for Donald Trump to contradict himself several times in one sentence or every day. I can answer that
yesterday on the CBS he said that he want to help Benjamin Netanyahu
36 minuteshitting Lebanon and hittingah and he was very happy to watch him continue doing what he was doing. In
fact, the Americans were surprised as much as the Israelis that the Iranians will retaliate. As we said at the very
beginning, there were even many Lebanese or Arabs very taken by surprise to see Iran really going through all this
trouble. But Donald Trump was really supportive of everything that Benjamin Netanyahu was doing. And if you look at
the deal signed as a framework between Israel, United States and Lebanon uh
read and the statement read and distributed by the US State Department where Marco Rubio said that Lebanon and
Israel agreed that the enemy of Lebanon and America and Israel is Hezbollah.
37 minutesTherefore, the Americans and the Israelis and part of the Lebanese, a small part of the Lebanese considerah is
the enemy. Hezbollah represent more than uh a third to 40% of the population in
Lebanon. Shia, Sunni, Christian and Jews. Not only Shia, the majority are Shia, but he also represent the others
who refuse to have a a deal with the Israelis in this way where Israel
nowhere is mentioned that it would withdraw from the south of Lebanon.
Therefore, uh the uh uh plan to really corner hit Hezbollah and destroy south
of Lebanon did not start yesterday for Donald Trump to say, "Oh, I have nothing to do with it." It has been going on for since 2024.
And since November 2024 to February 2026, for 15 months, the Israelis did not stop destroying south of Lebanon.
And after February 2026, they continue the destruction. And the Israelis have destroyed 20 additional villages in uh April 2026.
So why suddenly Donald Trump is changing his mind about it and taking a distance because he doesn't want to be blamed.
But that is not very clever. if he accepted and approved and supported Benjamin Netanyahu in his task. And we
have Admiral Cooper, the head of Sentcom, visiting Israel on a very regular basis and coordinating all the
needs of Israel to continue destroying south of Lebanon because Israel doesn't have so much bomb to continue this kind
of destruction. And the capability of Israel of destruction doesn't come from munition produced by Israel. On the
contrary and 60% of the munition come from the United States and 30% of the
munition come or 33 come from Germany and then the rest is between Israel and the rest of the world. This is why
Israel is so generous with the destruction and bombing and can do and achieve what it is is achieving only
because it is supported in his task. And in the military world there is something called enduser. Every country supplying
munitions need to know what the country who is supplied with is using this kind
of munition to which purpose. So Germany and the United States are very much aware of what Benjamin Nano is doing in
the south of Lebanon. And also when he decide to go and bomb the suburb of Beirut, he doesn't do it without the
approval of the American because he said it before the bombing. When he bombed the suburb of Beirut yesterday
afternoon, he said that was done in coordination with the Americans. Now Donald Trump is free to say what he wants. people will not believe him. I
mean there will be always someone who will believe him but that is not compatible and is not consistent with what we hear from Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yeah. Yeah. Great points. And to underscore this I'll just pull up Elijah. This is BBC. Uh we know we know
BBC's allegiances. Well, uh, there are US personnel, uh, all up and down BBC
and here's their State Department correspondent and what he said about whether Netanyahu defied Trump. He said, "Absolutely, almost certainly not." And
then going on to say that Trump spoke after Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel, telling that he was going to call Netanyahu and tell him not to
retaliate. The implication being that this attack would fracture and jeopardize fragile diplomacy with Iran.
But then hours later, Israel did it anyway. Um, Israel attacked Iran. Did Netanyahu defy Trump? They say no. The correspondent does because of its huge
military presence, its hundreds of military personnel liazing with the IDF in Israel itself. uh meaning that Israel
would need to have coordinated with US forces uh based in the region over every single air route. And I know uh Jordan
uh has been almost the uh butt of memes because it keeps on firing THAD interceptors at Iranian missiles every
time they go over uh uh Iraq over Jordanian airspace. Um so you so your thoughts on this? I mean uh uh do you
find this to be an accurate assessment that absolutely not Israel could not have uh conducted this kind of operation
or or response to Iran's uh initiative uh without US assistance and approval
or uh after the 7th of October Joe Biden told us that he sent 2,000 Delta forces
general officers and soldiers all with different expert ities to Israel to support Israel.
Nobody ever in America said that they put them out. On the contrary, we have the British, the American, the German,
the French all keep supporting Israel military, providing surveillance, providing uh munition, military support,
intelligence, and also intercepting missiles that are coming from Yemen and
from Iran. Therefore they all there aware of what's happening. There are uh
command and control center. The sentcom has established where there are Israeli coordinating officers in the command and
control center. Everything is known and you cannot start attacking Iran and
crossing all this distance between 1,400 1,700 km even if the Americans uh allow
even if the Israelis want to stand above Iraq and bomb Iran uh just to be safe from the uh Iranian anti-air missiles.
how they can stay above Iraq without the American permission where the uh US u
have a base in Eril at the airport and in Harer in Kuristan Iraq. So all that
need a full coordination. how the Americans will be unaware of Benjamin Netanyahu
bombing Beirut when the agreement few weeks ago was between the Americans and the Israelis was overtly
distributed on to all the media that they both agreed that the suburb of Beirut will no longer be bombed. to
violate this agreement. Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't have a shop where he can sell what he wants. On the contrary,
he depends on the US support and the US is involved in this war fully where the US is negotiating
uh with Iran on behalf of Israel. And Benjamin Netanyahu told us that he
receives regular report personally from the White House and he exchange with them the information. This is what the
Israeli prime minister said. So can you imagine an act of war of this kind and the consequences
that will come with it particularly when Iran threatened to bomb Israel in case the suburb is bombed that Benjamin
Netanyahu will do it on his own. I think this is an insult to our intelligence but I mean Donald Trump Oh.
Uh, Elijah, we lost you at Donald Trump.
If you do end up coming because this is the type. Sorry. So, I think there's a problem with the internet, but I I was saying Oh, sorry. Sorry. I lost you at Donald.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So, I said a lag.
I can hear you. I can hear you. Uh, please continue.
Yeah. Sorry. So I said Donald Trump has a is permitted to change his mind because he is someone who constantly
changed his mind. He can say what he wants. It's up to people to believe him or not. And I think his record doesn't give him too much credit.
Yeah. Uh that's uh that's for sure, Elijah. Now, uh maybe as we uh head into
the last 15 or so minutes here of the hour, uh we can talk about the uh significance of what appeared to be
coordinated responses. Hezbollah was still fighting uh during this period of Iranian strikes. Yemen launched its own
uh salvo of missiles and of course there was the uh there was the announcement by
Yemen that they were closing the Red Sea to all Israeli affiliated vessels. um
how how significant is it that the axis of resistance even to this point and then I I saw some reports uh uh recently
before we came on the show that uh uh Iran is also working to include Gaza in any kind of comprehensive end uh to the
war. So what what is the significance that the ISIS of resistance is coordinating in this manner and uh what
does it tell us about the overall state of the war given I don't know even before the February 28th strikes Elijah
we had been told that this resistance had been all but dead
the axis of the resistance was kind of uh answer to George Bush axis of evil
when uh he uh defined Iran and Korea as
the axis of evil. So the response was well actually there is an axis of the resistance against uh what uh George W.
Bush represent himself the axis of evil because he attacked Afghanistan and then
Iraq. This is where the word axis of the resistance was born. Actually, it was a
Libyan newspaper that for the first time spoke about the access of the resistance and was adopted by Iran and its allies.
However, the access of the resistance remained as a kind of deterrence by narrative but never had a command and
control center throughout the decade from 2002 to um 2000 to June 2025.
Because in September 2023 when Hamas started the attack on Israel,
the um Palestinian did not inform Iran or Hezbollah and the Israelis told us
that they've discovered letters uh from um a Senoir saying that only half an
hour before the attack explaining why they did not inform anyone for the secrecy and the success of the
operation. Therefore, there was no command and control center unifying all these forces of the axis of the
resistance. There were differences among them. For example, in Syria, Hamas was against Hezbollah in Syria. Khalid Mishal was overtly against Syria.
The in Iraq there were differences uh also the Iraq was under a completely different regime. the control and
occupation of the Americans and then after that ISIS in 2014 occupied a third
of Iraq. So there was really no coordination on any level and that took
place only after June 2025. Believe it or not, it is uh only the Israeli attack
on Iran that triggered the necessity to coordinate between the axis of the
resistance and to actually create u more of a command and control center where
they can talk to one another and coordinate their act. This is why Iran came out in this war imposed on Iran to
say to speak in the name of Ansarah in Yemen and say that Babel Mandib will be
closed because Iran can contribute with the Yemeni to close Babel Mandib and to
close the Red Sea with a drone that the Iranian can send and with the participation of Ansarah that were
bombed by Benjamin Netanyahu during bring the support of Yemen to the people of Gaza. Therefore, this is where the
Iranian understood the necessity actually to strengthen the access of the resistance. Nevertheless, there were
problems because Syria fell. Bashar al-Assad was no longer there. So the
supply to Hezbollah was more limited but not zero but more limited because uh
another force came to power in Syria that represent completely the opposite of what Iran support that is uh Ahmed
hah that was the ISIS amir and then turned as al-Qaeda amir in Levent in Biladam and after that
he allowed himself with Turkey and then he took over Syria with the support of
Turkey and Russia. So all that happened and the access of the resistance had the
supply and the logistic line interrupted with the fall of Bashar al-Assad who refused to participate and allow the
Hezbollah and Iran to fire against Israel during the genocide of Gaza. So
for that the Iranian when they were attacked by the Israelis in June 2025 started another level of cooperation.
Again the difficulty came because Lebanon as a government and a president prevented and prohibited the Iranian uh flight between Thran and Beirut.
Therefore reducing any possible even cash or financial support to Hezbollah
from Iran directly. Of course smuggling is something that everywhere happen in the world and is never there is no never
a complete blockade. Even the Americans are not managing to impose a blockade on the straight of homes. So
uh the axis of the resistance started coordinating because they knew another war was coming that the war of Israel
against Iran did not really produce any objective for the Israelis. The Iranian
enrichment uranium was still there. the Iranian capacity to produce missile and
fire their missile on the Israelis was still there and uh Iran was still
selling oil to different countries mainly China 80% but still having some income to be able to recover the
bombardment and the destruction caused by the Israelis in 2025. So they knew this war was coming as a necessity to
coordinate. And because they were coordinating this time at the beginning of the war when the Americans and the
Israelis attacked Iran in the first hour, Iran retaliated, but also Hezbollah retaliated against the Israeli
violation of the ceasefire and the United Nations Security Council resolution 1701.
um that was stipulated in November 2024 and never respected by Israel. So it was
an opportunity for Hezbollah to take the advantage of Iran as the Israeli and the Americans were busy in bombing Iran to
enter the war to impose a kind of deterrence on the Israeli and stop the massacre and the destruction that Israel
was causing on the Lebanese civilian that killed 513 the 15 month and the destruction of the homes in the south of
Lebanon. And this is where we could see the level of coordination. We've seen Yemen today in the coordination between
Iran and Lebanon when all three fire simultaneously on Israel. uh when Israel was attacked
to indicate that actually the three countries are coordinating even if we
sayah is not really the representative of the entire Lebanese uh as a country
but they are in the government they are in the parliament they are in municipalities and they represent 40% of
the population so a big part of Lebanon was present and that is the axis of the resistance that I expect to be
reinforced, supported and increase the level of coordination among at least
these three regardless the Iraqi resistance that has another status because of the American presence in Iraq
and because of the financial shortage that Iraq uh receive all its uh uh
revenue of oil that 90% of Iraq budget into the American federal bank. So there
is a more control over the Iraqis and that is the work of the axis of the resistance that started actually to be
efficient only in this war and this is why Iran is offering sacrifices on
behalf of Lebanon because it has uh um taken on board the engagement to support
this access that saw the necessity to consolidate uh in after June. 2025.
Yeah. And then final uh question Elijah is uh is the straight of Hermuz now fully closed and said as much uh during
and directly after this exchange of fire with Israel and why is it that it seems that the United States and of course all
of those who hang on or call themselves allies of the United States seem to be whistling past this uh big problem of
the potial potential economic fallout of the war continuing. on in this manner because it does feel like there's been a lot of cooling of the panic of late yet the war seems very much in play.
Well, the financial market is affected by social media and announcement. This is why we hear Donald Trump uh talking
to the market uh to calm down the market saying we are going to reach a deal.
every week he says that at the beginning and then at the end he says um he he uh
pronounced his uh threat to Iran. So that's already a game that we see. But uh today for example there was an
uncertainty in the market and the price of oil and gas increased by four to 5%.
Because people thought that the straight of hormones is going to shut down. there was going to be a long war. But then
they saw things calming down a bit and then see the market stabilize itself.
But we see also the Americans allowing few tankers to cross because they want the supply to continue because America
is paying the price. There are hundred of millions of dollars that the Americans are paying on behalf of Israel
and Trump's war because of the price of gasoline and transport and everything else in America. It's not Iran that is
paying the price. Here in Europe, we are paying 37% extra the price of gas. The
gasoline has increased to 2.2 uh euro per liter of gasoline. diesel is
more expensive than the gasoline. So everybody is paying the price and this is why Donald Trump acknowledged that he
is fully aware and he said well for a while this is going to happen. He doesn't really care. He doesn't care
about the prices and the the cost on the American and the rest of the world population. He doesn't care about the
midterm elections. He cares only about his image and he wants to do something that Barack
Obama does not do. He is obsessed about the Obama deal, the JCPOA 2015. So he's
really very limited and he did not achieve any of his objectives and neither Benjamin Netanyahu has achieved
any of the stated objective from the beginning. And today Iran launched all the missile from all the position that
Donald Trump said he has obliterated. So everything is back to square one and nothing has been achieved. But something
for Iran has been achieved. If Iran has today under its control the straight of horos imposing fees under any other
title. But that was not the case before the war. Uh Elijah, it was great to be with you.
Uh one final unrelated question though.
Uh the audience is very curious and very much uh inspired and in awe of the painting behind you. If you want to give
a uh uh maybe some details about what it is uh so so you can satisfy their curiosity. Uh you don't have to but just
thought I would ask. Well, maybe we leave it for another time, but I can move away for you to see it.
Amazing. Amazing. Who did it? Who Who created it, if you don't mind me asking? It's a Belgian artist. Belgium artist.
Belgian Russian.
Oh, very cool. Very cool. Well, uh, Elijah, I want to make sure everybody knows that they can find your website in
the video description below. That's how to support Elijah. you can subscribe and support his work. Uh, and you can read all of the uh, original publications

Welcome back everyone. Welcome back to the show. It's your host Danny Haiphong. As you can see, I am joined by Elijah
Magnier, war correspondent and independent journalist. Everyone hit the like button as you come on. Elijah, good to see you.
Hello, Danny. And thank you for having me. It's good to be with you. Yes, good to be with you as always.
Well, Elijah, I wanted to ask you if you could help recount the events overnight because we saw uh in retaliation to
Israel's bombing of Beirut, Dia, and uh the capital of Lebanon, uh we saw Iran
launch uh multiple strikes actually because Israel did respond with bombings of its own in Iran. But initially it
looked like somewhat between 10 to 20 missiles uh were fired into Israel into the northern settlements into Hifa and
various areas. Uh here's just a little bit of a rundown of the kind of missiles that were used. Then Israel uh hit a
prochemical plant and Iran responded in kind with another barrage of missiles,
wave of missile strikes. Could you help uh could you uh help the audience understand what exactly happened? Maybe you can help summarize the events. We know also that Yemen got involved.
They've closed the Babel Menddeep Straight, the Red Sea to Israeli affiliated ships and Donald Trump was
very eager to stop the as what he called it shooting. And I'll pull up some of these uh developments as you talk so
people get a bit of understanding visually how things went down. But uh help uh assess the situation. What happened? Give us a rundown and your analysis of it.
Everything has started when the Iranians and the Americans have reached an agreement not only of the ceasefire but
to end the war in the Middle East. The Americans agreed on that as a first point forwarded by the Iranians to the
Pakistani in Islamabad and the Americans acknowledge that upon the return of the
American envoy, the Americans said, well actually Lebanon is not included and that denied by the Pakistani mediator
saying no, Iran included Lebanon in the first point and This gave the free uh
hand for the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bomb Lebanon and mainly the south of Lebanon and the Bea
Valley. What Netanyahu has been doing is to destroy and flatten completely
uh dozens of villages in the south of Lebanon exactly as he did in Rafa which
the Iranian uh the uh Iranian watch that and the Israelis uh promised to do that
uh saying that south of Lebanon will be exactly the copy of what they have done in Rafa.
And what they have done in Rafa they moved houses, cemeteries, schools, university, hospitals,
uh roads, infrastructure, everything. So the whole area in Rafa is flat. There is
no indication whatsoever of any civilian or civilization that has been living
there before the war. So this is what the Israelis are doing in the south of Lebanon. uh because Hezbollah is a
hybrid actor. So it is not a an army doesn't have an army that can stand
against the the most sophisticated modern Israeli army supported by the United States and supplied with weapon
by Germany and the West with intelligence etc. There is no comparison between the two armies. This is why
Hezbollah's act of resistance is to try and inflict the maximum damage on the long term uh
on Israel. However, because the conduct of Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister Israel Katz, the the the time is really not in favor of Hezbollah.
Even if Hezbollah doesn't have a choice, uh the rapid
destruction of the Israeli machine is overwhelming in the south of Lebanon.
But the Israelis are suffering casualties on daily basis because Hezbollah is using drone and is trying
to make the life of the Israelis as difficult as possible on the very small
scale of course. Now, the Israelis said to the Hezbollah trying to impose a new
rule of engagement, if you bomb any of the uh northern areas occupied by
Israel, we're going to bomb the suburb of Beirut. So, the Iran the Israelis wanted to look for an excuse to bomb
that area. and Iran frustrated since the ceasefire wanted to come in into the
battle but was preparing for the war. So in case it goes into the battle and the
Israeli retaliates including the Americans then uh there's a possibility
that this war would last another 40 days or two months or even more. So it was not really clear for Iran. It's important to be ready for a long war.
This is when Hezbollah fired missile on the northern of Israel. And it is inevitable because the Israelis are
firing um artillery using the air force against the entire area of the south of
Lebanon. They've started with the uh Asian city of Taya and then they moved to the suburb of Siden. We're talking
about 40 kilometers from Beirut, the Becca Valley. So they are really uh
issuing evacuation orders to civilians in we're talking about more than 150
villages and cities which is more than any country can absorb because all the
internally displaced people have gone to the uh capital Beirut and they are
really uh squeezed in a very small area, we're talking about 26 27 square
kilmters, which is very small. But starting to bond the suburb of Beirut, we're talking about displacing more than
or less 700 to 800,000 people. Already, there are more than 1,300,000 Lebanese displaced from the south of
Lebanon and the Bea Valley. So, that would be too much to bear. And then Israel said, "I'm going to bomb the
suburb of Beirut." Iran warned Israel, "If you bomb the suburb of Beirut, Iran will bomb the northern Israel." And this
is what happened. The Israelis bombed the suburb of Beirut thinking that Iran is not going to retaliate. And Israel
was not the only one. many Lebanese who are against Hezbollah or pro- American, pro-Israelis,
Arabs around the Gulf countries who did not support Gaza or do not support the
resistance were very skeptical about the Iranian promise. And what happened is last night
Iran bombed Israel and bombed the north of Israel only by retaliating because
the Israelis retaliated to the bomb uh to the bombing of the north of Israel.
Then Iran was free to bomb everywhere in Israel and this is where the tit forat started. What is important to mention is
this is the first time in the history of Israel after 1949.
So we talking about after Egypt in uh a very long time but in modern um modern
warfare we don't have a country that start attacking Israel and
uh we see Iran moving from a strategic patient to strategic deterrence. We see
Iran taking initiative to initiate the bombing of Israel which is highly significant for the Israelis. It means
that the promise of Benjamin Netanyahu to impose deterrence and he is he called
the security man. So he's the one who look for the security of Israel and is ready to bomb any capital which he
bombed seven countries uh in the last three years only to impose the Israeli
uh supremacy and um power over the rest of the Middle
East. So that hit changed the equation and by changing the equation it kind of
damaged the image of Israel as a regional power that can dominate the Middle East and introduced the fact that
actually Iran is not only there to receive a an attack initiated by Israel
as it happened in June 2025 or by Israel and the United States as happened in February.
2026 but actually it can take the initiative and bomb Israel. So Donald Trump intervene and ask everyone to
stop. I don't know if uh that was genuine but because Ansarah in Yemen
initiated the first uh participation of the war where Iran is involved in the
past. Ansarah participated to to the support of Gaza and the Palestinian people but not Iran. That gave an
indication that actually not the straight of can be shut down. Iran promised to shut down the straight of
homes, the Babel Mandib, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. It is not something that Donald Trump can stomach and the
rest of the world will not accept a major economic crisis in case this
happens. So Donald Trump who uh instruct the central command of the US sentcom
that Israel is part of and coordinate with all the Israeli attack and the
interception of all the Iranian missiles and drone uh inevitably supported Israel but
because the determination of Iran to start a war because Donald Trump doesn't
believe that Israel will have the upper hand. So he rushed to stop it. Now there is a big question. Iran said it will
retaliate against Israel if Israel continue bombing the south of Lebanon
and Beirut. Now Israel regaining the bombardment of the south of Lebanon but
stopped on the suburb of Beirut. And there is an equation there that the south of uh the the suburb of Beirut
cannot be touched otherwise Iran will jump in and will join the war. for this south of Lebanon. I think there is a lot
of talk between this Pakistani and the Americans having giving a break of a
short period of time that Iran allowed in order for the Americans to convince the Israelis to stop the bombing of the south of Lebanon and end the war.
Yeah. Uh a great summary, Elijah. Now, uh maybe before I definitely want to get into Donald Trump's reaction overall to
this, uh because there were a few different times it seemed like he had to go public uh with his reactions. There was a phone call with Netanyahu. But
before that, uh what was the significance of Iran's particular targeting? Uh there are reports about uh
Ramadavid air base was the uh I guess uh most uh well-known target uh where Iran
13 minutessaid that it was the source of the uh bombing of the suburbs of Beirut. So what was the significance of this? What did Iran actually target and uh why?
The uh Ramat air base is the base where all the Israeli attack. We're talking about drones and air force and
helicopter. They attack uh Lebanon on a regular basis on daily basis several
times per day. attacking that base is significant because it's a the heart of the attack of the Israelis against
Lebanon. Uh that's one that was one of the targets. The second target was Hifa and that's also important. And after the
uh Israeli bombing of Iran, the Iranians bombed the suburb of Tel Aviv around Jerusalem
Ashud. So they bombed a a very large part of the Israeli geography where more
more than uh 7 to 8 million people went to the shelter. That was the dimension
of the bombing. Now what the Israelis have really hit it is not something that
the Israelis um what what the Iranians have hit is not something that the Israelis share. And since the beginning
of this attack, the Israelis warned the population not to share any video and
people were uh very strict about not sharing videos, but that will come out later and the information will be
revealed later. Nevertheless, we know that there were several explosion of missiles registered in different parts of Israel.
Yeah, I mean there were reports Elijah that um Israel was using uh defense and air defense interceptors produced within
the last year alone. So uh signaling that they are quite depleted. So it would be very unrealistic to believe
that none of these missiles reached their target. Um, so Elijah, now to Donald Trump's
reaction, and I'm just going to pull up uh a few of his reactions because I do believe that they are very telling in
the sense that uh many people have different views on why Donald Trump reacts the way he does to
these kind of events immediately as Iran began striking Israel uh and then Israel began striking Iran. Iran. Uh he said
Israel and Iran must immediately stop the shooting and then announced later on that both sides were looking for an
immediate ceasefire in the final negotiations on peace are proceeding. Uh there were reports that Donald Trump had
essentially told Israel not to retaliate against Iran. Uh Israel did it anyway.
And then there was this idea of some kind of both side ceasefire. And Iran has said that they only are halting
attacks so long as Lebanon uh does not continue to receive uh Israel's strikes
and uh Israel doesn't of course strike Iran. So I don't think they really are articulating a ceasefire as such. But
what do you make of Donald Trump's reaction? He was very it seemed very very very panicked. Some people think that that's like plausible deniability
because uh uh with Israel strikes there was likely US uh involvement and coordination. But what do you make of of all of this?
There are two really different theories here. First that the Americans and the Israelis play a lot the uh role of a
17 minutesgood cop bad cop. So uh they distribute the roles among them when Donald Trump
seems very angry uh because of what Benjamin Netanyahu did. But Netanyahu cannot contradict Donald Trump because
he is the one he's the maestro even if he's not very clever and he doesn't understand anything about politics.
However, he is the one conducting the war in a sense where he is advised when he needs to stop and when he can
continue. Now, bear in mind that Israel cannot fly 1,400 to 1,700 kilometers and
return with its jets without an air supply and the air supply needs to be
performed above Iraq and Syria. So this is where sencom interveneed which mean
that the Americans are fully aware what the Israelis were doing. Now be always
we understand like in Qatar when the Israelis bombed Qatar tried to assassinate Hamas leaders uh Donald
Trump said I have no idea about it and scolded Israel which is untrue because
uh the US has uh the biggest uh major
air base in Alade in Qatar and an Israeli jet cannot fly all the way to
Qatar and commit uh a target assassination without the knowledge of the Americans. So that is extremely
skeptical uh position where the Americans are playing like they did not know and
normally Donald Trump plays it when things don't go well because uh failure doesn't have any father and this is
where Donald Trump uh tried to keep a distance and Benjamin Netanyahu takes the blame. Now there are issues that we
need to understand in this uh fight and what happened uh last night and today.
The main issue is Washington and Tel Aviv sought to compartment to to put the
Lebanese and the Iranian front into compartments and separate them. But Thran merged them into one single
strategic equation and demanded the total end of the war. So that also comes when the negotiations between the US and
Iran reach a deadlock despite Donald Trump announcement that the war is over.
Now we heard the def the the American defense minister saying that the war is over. We heard Marco Rubio telling the
Congress that the war is over but nothing has been achieved. I don't think the Iranians are willing to give Donald
Trump anything before the uh midterm elections. I don't think the Iranians are in a hurry to accept any deal if
Donald Trump is not ready to give them the 24 billions as a first down payment of their own money that are frozen in
different countries around the world. So for that the Americans need to come out of a way of their way and accept to give
Iran these sums that I doubt Donald Trump is ready for that. This is why we
see what's happening really has other dimension than uh what we see in front of our eyes unfolding.
and Elijah uh you know the scenes of course Israel there was a total blackout as you said so we don't we didn't have the scenes like we did earlier in this
conflict Israelis running to their shelters but we we do know that that was likely happening but the scenes in Iran
very much different in terms and I want to ask you what you believe the significance of this is because you know as the missiles were flying Iranians
were in the streets uh celebrating the launches uh toward Israel And these are just some of the video footage coming
out of that. And then here is another one of Iranians flooding the streets uh
celebrating as Israel is uh was getting uh these missile strikes launched toward
them. Uh so what what do you make I mean this has been a a daily occurrence since the war began. Iranians have been in the
streets rallying uh rallying in defense of their country, rallying um you know against the aggressors and uh uh but the
scene is very different of course on the other side. What's the significance of this if any uh in the overall uh calculations of this war
graphy? The um uh the uh area occupied by Israel is around 20,000 square
kilometers. Iran is 1,648,000 kilometers square kilometers. Therefore, the Iranians can be a bit everywhere.
They are a large population. We're talking about almost 90 million people and uh they were confident that their
country took the initiative for the first time and bombed Israel. It brings
joy to the um Iranian feeling because they love their country regardless if
they agree or disagree with the current government. Uh that's one. Two, there
are very few Iranians who stood against Iran during this war because the majority really supported their country
against the US and Israel because the two were destroying the infrastructure.
They were not uh removing the ruling system. They were trying to create a havoc in the country, arming the
separatist Kurds in the norththeast of Iran so they can create
a chaos in the country. This is not what the majority of the Iran Elijah, we seem to be losing you a bit.
Um, sorry. Yeah, you're you're uh continue. Yeah, maybe you can just restart that thought.
Yeah, sorry. So, because um I was saying that the Iranians uh don't want really to see
their country destroy and this is what the Israelis were aiming to destroy the country, to destroy the infrastructure of the country and this is why the
Iranians stood against this war. Now they are in the street celebrating because they're happy to see the Israelis paying a price and they're
happy to see Iran defending uh Lebanon because Lebanon stood with Iran and fought alongside Iran. But Iran
broke the narrative of having Hezbollah as a the proxy because it is
Iran that went to fight on behalf of Hezbollah and not vice versa. It is the the demonstration that Iran looks after
its allies and try to protect its allies and try to look after them but is ready
to pay the price on their behalf and go to war but not for one day. Iran was ready to go to war for weeks and months
on behalf of Lebanon to protect Lebanon because Lebanon was the weakest part in
the equation and the Israelis were bombing in a barbaric way the south of Lebanon and the destruction was devastating and Iran could not watch it.
So it shows the relationship between Iran and its allies that is actually it's a relationship of respect and
support and not asking anything in exchange because in this case Lebanon has very little to offer to Iran. And to
add to that my last point is when the Lebanese president Joseph own comes out on the CNN and said Iran is using
Lebanon as a bargaining chip. Well, actually this is a demonstration that Iran is paying the price not signing a
deal until there is an end of the war in Lebanon and can sort out be a little bit more flexible on all the other issues.
For example, instead of 24 billion, it can accept 12 at the beginning and then
another 12 in 30 or 60 days that Donald Trump is very much willing to give the
uh enriched uranium. they can pass them on to the IAEA to extract them and create an international coalition to
come and um take all the enrichment urrainment of 60% that is buried under
the mountain of fordo that also Iran can be flexible with the um the straight of
home was Iran can ask fees for services and security exactly like Turkey and that also American the Americans are
flex ible with. So the main problem here is Iran defending Lebanon and not
Lebanon using it using Iran or Lebanon defending Iran or fighting on behalf of Iran. And that requires a lot of
courage, dedication and faithfulness that an entire nation in Iran is paying
the price to stop this destruction happening in the south of Lebanon.
Yeah. Uh and Elijah, I mean it is unprecedented in many ways uh what we witness. Do you see this as a another uh
phase of of this war? Because I mean Iran's been clear since the beginning of whatever we want to call these
deliberations, talks, what have you, or maybe the uh attempt for the US to kind of wiggle its way out of defeat uh these negotiations supposedly to end the war.
Iran has been very clear since the very beginning that Lebanon was always a part of this in large part because of the solidarity you mentioned and also I mean
this the this latest iteration of Israel's uh just absolutely horrific and inhumane and and criminal response to
Lebanon happened almost as if Israel was trying to take advantage of the attacks on Iran to punish Lebanon and of course
to uh achieve their seemingly unachievable dream of destroying Hezbollah. What's your thoughts?
What's the question?
Uh do we do you see this as a another a new phase of the war now given that Iran has put uh a muscle behind its promises and its vows?
Yes, I think uh the Iranian and will not allow the Israelis to have
a free hand if the bombing of the south of Lebanon continue for several days and
Israel continue the destruction of these south of Lebanon area and the cities
there. Now Israel can do that for a few days but if we look at the is what the Israelis are doing they're not really
achieving any strategic game just destruction for the last three years Benjamin Netanyahu has been destroying
Gaza Lebanon and Iran part of Iran but there are no achievement Hamas is still
29 minutesthere is still there the Iranian ruling system is still as it is stronger than
ever Iran has regain its power otherwise it did not challenge Israel knowing that
the Americans are there to support the Israelis. So all that shows that the Iranians are growing a bit impatient
with the uh Israelis and the American people also are expressing their
disagreement of what Donald Trump is doing. We've seen the Congress voting against the war in Iran. But even if
that is not significant practically speaking and they will not stop Donald Trump from continuing what he want to do
in Iran. However, it it's it is sending a very strong message that actually the Congress is not supporting Donald Trump.
The population according to the recent statistics 62% of the Americans are against the war on
Iran. So the only people who support this war are the Israeli uh people society and Benjamin Netanyahu and his
government. So all that has a certain limit. Iran has been demonized for 47
years. This war was unlawful announced uh by the American and the Israelis
together starting a war only according to what Trump and Marco Yub told us
because Israel was going to war anywhere uh and any anyway against Iran on its
own. So the American join in and there's rhetoric about the Iranian will not have
ever a nuclear bomb. I think Iran fully agree with that and never seized the nuclear bomb. So this narrative that is
repeated after every question now it's obvious for people that it's just a lie to cover up uh the the real reason
behind this war is to change the ruling system in Iran and steal its natural resources. And Donald Trump said I want
the oil. That is the objective as he said exactly the same during his first term about Syria and he said I want the
oil and he was taking it. Unfortunately for him in Iran, he's not managing to take the oil. Even if he set up a
blockade outside the straight of Hormwoods, the Iranians have the capability to bomb uh the US Navy in
case of need and the Americans are no longer confiscating Iranian tankers, but sending them back and preventing them
from crossing uh occasionally because some of the tankers have crossed. So in
as if we take all that as a whole, we understand that Iran is encouraged by
all these elements to start and initiate the attack against Israel. And in fact
today surprisingly it was not very um
much a surprise to see a condemn on the Iranian initiating the attack against
Israel because Israel is now known by the majority of the world population to be a genocidal regime and killing
children in Gaza and in Lebanon, destroying the civilian infrastru infrastructure wherever they go. They
the Israeli army is stealing, is destroying, is raping and all that is really indignated by the population
worldwide. And this is why at the first beginning when Iran was attacked in June 2025, there was no much sympathy for
Iran. Today the situation has changed and today Iran is more uh is gaining
more support and more sympathy around the world than in the last 47 years because the western narrative managed
indeed to demonize Iran throughout the years showing them that they are the
evil, they are the bad people. But when everybody is watching the Iranians who are with the government and against the
government standing with Iran against the US and the Americans, the situation has changed.
Yeah. And um uh some uh new information is coming out uh Elijah about these uh
panicked in uh responses by Donald Trump and the US administration that Donald Trump said
uh reportedly to channel 12 that uh he was uh communicating to Netanyahu that
he might be alone against Iran very soon if he continues on with strikes on Lebanon. And initially when uh Israel
conducted these strikes on Lebanon, which crossed Iran's red line, uh Trump reportedly said that uh these were not
authorized by the United States and that uh he should uh cease and he should cease immediately. Netanyahu should
pursuing this. But uh nonetheless, you know, as you mentioned earlier that there's this like good cop bad cop thing going on. Sometimes they reverse roles.
Sometime you know uh we know that Netanyahu has said something to the effect of there's some tactical differences and how to address things in
the region. But it seems that uh regardless of uh what kind of game these
two might be playing uh the results almost come out the same where it almost feels like we had a unlike the 12- day
war as you said Iran was not the one on the back foot defending itself. it was
taking initiative here, but the way that Trump responded felt like a very sped up
uh uh 12-day war scenario where he was coming in and uh you know uh trying to
act like he was stopping things and uh ultimately the results ended up being that yeah, Israel had to stop attacking
Iran and uh is now potentially uh uh you know digging itself a bigger
hole by uh uh you know flaunting Iran's warnings. So what's your thoughts on this?
Well, it is not new for Donald Trump to contradict himself several times in one sentence or every day. I can answer that
yesterday on the CBS he said that he want to help Benjamin Netanyahu
36 minuteshitting Lebanon and hittingah and he was very happy to watch him continue doing what he was doing. In
fact, the Americans were surprised as much as the Israelis that the Iranians will retaliate. As we said at the very
beginning, there were even many Lebanese or Arabs very taken by surprise to see Iran really going through all this
trouble. But Donald Trump was really supportive of everything that Benjamin Netanyahu was doing. And if you look at
the deal signed as a framework between Israel, United States and Lebanon uh
read and the statement read and distributed by the US State Department where Marco Rubio said that Lebanon and
Israel agreed that the enemy of Lebanon and America and Israel is Hezbollah.
37 minutesTherefore, the Americans and the Israelis and part of the Lebanese, a small part of the Lebanese considerah is
the enemy. Hezbollah represent more than uh a third to 40% of the population in
Lebanon. Shia, Sunni, Christian and Jews. Not only Shia, the majority are Shia, but he also represent the others
who refuse to have a a deal with the Israelis in this way where Israel
nowhere is mentioned that it would withdraw from the south of Lebanon.
Therefore, uh the uh uh plan to really corner hit Hezbollah and destroy south
of Lebanon did not start yesterday for Donald Trump to say, "Oh, I have nothing to do with it." It has been going on for since 2024.
And since November 2024 to February 2026, for 15 months, the Israelis did not stop destroying south of Lebanon.
And after February 2026, they continue the destruction. And the Israelis have destroyed 20 additional villages in uh April 2026.
So why suddenly Donald Trump is changing his mind about it and taking a distance because he doesn't want to be blamed.
But that is not very clever. if he accepted and approved and supported Benjamin Netanyahu in his task. And we
have Admiral Cooper, the head of Sentcom, visiting Israel on a very regular basis and coordinating all the
needs of Israel to continue destroying south of Lebanon because Israel doesn't have so much bomb to continue this kind
of destruction. And the capability of Israel of destruction doesn't come from munition produced by Israel. On the
contrary and 60% of the munition come from the United States and 30% of the
munition come or 33 come from Germany and then the rest is between Israel and the rest of the world. This is why
Israel is so generous with the destruction and bombing and can do and achieve what it is is achieving only
because it is supported in his task. And in the military world there is something called enduser. Every country supplying
munitions need to know what the country who is supplied with is using this kind
of munition to which purpose. So Germany and the United States are very much aware of what Benjamin Nano is doing in
the south of Lebanon. And also when he decide to go and bomb the suburb of Beirut, he doesn't do it without the
approval of the American because he said it before the bombing. When he bombed the suburb of Beirut yesterday
afternoon, he said that was done in coordination with the Americans. Now Donald Trump is free to say what he wants. people will not believe him. I
mean there will be always someone who will believe him but that is not compatible and is not consistent with what we hear from Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yeah. Yeah. Great points. And to underscore this I'll just pull up Elijah. This is BBC. Uh we know we know
BBC's allegiances. Well, uh, there are US personnel, uh, all up and down BBC
and here's their State Department correspondent and what he said about whether Netanyahu defied Trump. He said, "Absolutely, almost certainly not." And
then going on to say that Trump spoke after Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel, telling that he was going to call Netanyahu and tell him not to
retaliate. The implication being that this attack would fracture and jeopardize fragile diplomacy with Iran.
But then hours later, Israel did it anyway. Um, Israel attacked Iran. Did Netanyahu defy Trump? They say no. The correspondent does because of its huge
military presence, its hundreds of military personnel liazing with the IDF in Israel itself. uh meaning that Israel
would need to have coordinated with US forces uh based in the region over every single air route. And I know uh Jordan
uh has been almost the uh butt of memes because it keeps on firing THAD interceptors at Iranian missiles every
time they go over uh uh Iraq over Jordanian airspace. Um so you so your thoughts on this? I mean uh uh do you
find this to be an accurate assessment that absolutely not Israel could not have uh conducted this kind of operation
or or response to Iran's uh initiative uh without US assistance and approval
or uh after the 7th of October Joe Biden told us that he sent 2,000 Delta forces
general officers and soldiers all with different expert ities to Israel to support Israel.
Nobody ever in America said that they put them out. On the contrary, we have the British, the American, the German,
the French all keep supporting Israel military, providing surveillance, providing uh munition, military support,
intelligence, and also intercepting missiles that are coming from Yemen and
from Iran. Therefore they all there aware of what's happening. There are uh
command and control center. The sentcom has established where there are Israeli coordinating officers in the command and
control center. Everything is known and you cannot start attacking Iran and
crossing all this distance between 1,400 1,700 km even if the Americans uh allow
even if the Israelis want to stand above Iraq and bomb Iran uh just to be safe from the uh Iranian anti-air missiles.
how they can stay above Iraq without the American permission where the uh US u
have a base in Eril at the airport and in Harer in Kuristan Iraq. So all that
need a full coordination. how the Americans will be unaware of Benjamin Netanyahu
bombing Beirut when the agreement few weeks ago was between the Americans and the Israelis was overtly
distributed on to all the media that they both agreed that the suburb of Beirut will no longer be bombed. to
violate this agreement. Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't have a shop where he can sell what he wants. On the contrary,
he depends on the US support and the US is involved in this war fully where the US is negotiating
uh with Iran on behalf of Israel. And Benjamin Netanyahu told us that he
receives regular report personally from the White House and he exchange with them the information. This is what the
Israeli prime minister said. So can you imagine an act of war of this kind and the consequences
that will come with it particularly when Iran threatened to bomb Israel in case the suburb is bombed that Benjamin
Netanyahu will do it on his own. I think this is an insult to our intelligence but I mean Donald Trump Oh.
Uh, Elijah, we lost you at Donald Trump.
If you do end up coming because this is the type. Sorry. So, I think there's a problem with the internet, but I I was saying Oh, sorry. Sorry. I lost you at Donald.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So, I said a lag.
I can hear you. I can hear you. Uh, please continue.
Yeah. Sorry. So I said Donald Trump has a is permitted to change his mind because he is someone who constantly
changed his mind. He can say what he wants. It's up to people to believe him or not. And I think his record doesn't give him too much credit.
Yeah. Uh that's uh that's for sure, Elijah. Now, uh maybe as we uh head into
the last 15 or so minutes here of the hour, uh we can talk about the uh significance of what appeared to be
coordinated responses. Hezbollah was still fighting uh during this period of Iranian strikes. Yemen launched its own
uh salvo of missiles and of course there was the uh there was the announcement by
Yemen that they were closing the Red Sea to all Israeli affiliated vessels. um
how how significant is it that the axis of resistance even to this point and then I I saw some reports uh uh recently
before we came on the show that uh uh Iran is also working to include Gaza in any kind of comprehensive end uh to the
war. So what what is the significance that the ISIS of resistance is coordinating in this manner and uh what
does it tell us about the overall state of the war given I don't know even before the February 28th strikes Elijah
we had been told that this resistance had been all but dead
the axis of the resistance was kind of uh answer to George Bush axis of evil
when uh he uh defined Iran and Korea as
the axis of evil. So the response was well actually there is an axis of the resistance against uh what uh George W.
Bush represent himself the axis of evil because he attacked Afghanistan and then
Iraq. This is where the word axis of the resistance was born. Actually, it was a
Libyan newspaper that for the first time spoke about the access of the resistance and was adopted by Iran and its allies.
However, the access of the resistance remained as a kind of deterrence by narrative but never had a command and
control center throughout the decade from 2002 to um 2000 to June 2025.
Because in September 2023 when Hamas started the attack on Israel,
the um Palestinian did not inform Iran or Hezbollah and the Israelis told us
that they've discovered letters uh from um a Senoir saying that only half an
hour before the attack explaining why they did not inform anyone for the secrecy and the success of the
operation. Therefore, there was no command and control center unifying all these forces of the axis of the
resistance. There were differences among them. For example, in Syria, Hamas was against Hezbollah in Syria. Khalid Mishal was overtly against Syria.
The in Iraq there were differences uh also the Iraq was under a completely different regime. the control and
occupation of the Americans and then after that ISIS in 2014 occupied a third
of Iraq. So there was really no coordination on any level and that took
place only after June 2025. Believe it or not, it is uh only the Israeli attack
on Iran that triggered the necessity to coordinate between the axis of the
resistance and to actually create u more of a command and control center where
they can talk to one another and coordinate their act. This is why Iran came out in this war imposed on Iran to
say to speak in the name of Ansarah in Yemen and say that Babel Mandib will be
closed because Iran can contribute with the Yemeni to close Babel Mandib and to
close the Red Sea with a drone that the Iranian can send and with the participation of Ansarah that were
bombed by Benjamin Netanyahu during bring the support of Yemen to the people of Gaza. Therefore, this is where the
Iranian understood the necessity actually to strengthen the access of the resistance. Nevertheless, there were
problems because Syria fell. Bashar al-Assad was no longer there. So the
supply to Hezbollah was more limited but not zero but more limited because uh
another force came to power in Syria that represent completely the opposite of what Iran support that is uh Ahmed
hah that was the ISIS amir and then turned as al-Qaeda amir in Levent in Biladam and after that
he allowed himself with Turkey and then he took over Syria with the support of
Turkey and Russia. So all that happened and the access of the resistance had the
supply and the logistic line interrupted with the fall of Bashar al-Assad who refused to participate and allow the
Hezbollah and Iran to fire against Israel during the genocide of Gaza. So
for that the Iranian when they were attacked by the Israelis in June 2025 started another level of cooperation.
Again the difficulty came because Lebanon as a government and a president prevented and prohibited the Iranian uh flight between Thran and Beirut.
Therefore reducing any possible even cash or financial support to Hezbollah
from Iran directly. Of course smuggling is something that everywhere happen in the world and is never there is no never
a complete blockade. Even the Americans are not managing to impose a blockade on the straight of homes. So
uh the axis of the resistance started coordinating because they knew another war was coming that the war of Israel
against Iran did not really produce any objective for the Israelis. The Iranian
enrichment uranium was still there. the Iranian capacity to produce missile and
fire their missile on the Israelis was still there and uh Iran was still
selling oil to different countries mainly China 80% but still having some income to be able to recover the
bombardment and the destruction caused by the Israelis in 2025. So they knew this war was coming as a necessity to
coordinate. And because they were coordinating this time at the beginning of the war when the Americans and the
Israelis attacked Iran in the first hour, Iran retaliated, but also Hezbollah retaliated against the Israeli
violation of the ceasefire and the United Nations Security Council resolution 1701.
um that was stipulated in November 2024 and never respected by Israel. So it was
an opportunity for Hezbollah to take the advantage of Iran as the Israeli and the Americans were busy in bombing Iran to
enter the war to impose a kind of deterrence on the Israeli and stop the massacre and the destruction that Israel
was causing on the Lebanese civilian that killed 513 the 15 month and the destruction of the homes in the south of
Lebanon. And this is where we could see the level of coordination. We've seen Yemen today in the coordination between
Iran and Lebanon when all three fire simultaneously on Israel. uh when Israel was attacked
to indicate that actually the three countries are coordinating even if we
sayah is not really the representative of the entire Lebanese uh as a country
but they are in the government they are in the parliament they are in municipalities and they represent 40% of
the population so a big part of Lebanon was present and that is the axis of the resistance that I expect to be
reinforced, supported and increase the level of coordination among at least
these three regardless the Iraqi resistance that has another status because of the American presence in Iraq
and because of the financial shortage that Iraq uh receive all its uh uh
revenue of oil that 90% of Iraq budget into the American federal bank. So there
is a more control over the Iraqis and that is the work of the axis of the resistance that started actually to be
efficient only in this war and this is why Iran is offering sacrifices on
behalf of Lebanon because it has uh um taken on board the engagement to support
this access that saw the necessity to consolidate uh in after June. 2025.
Yeah. And then final uh question Elijah is uh is the straight of Hermuz now fully closed and said as much uh during
and directly after this exchange of fire with Israel and why is it that it seems that the United States and of course all
of those who hang on or call themselves allies of the United States seem to be whistling past this uh big problem of
the potial potential economic fallout of the war continuing. on in this manner because it does feel like there's been a lot of cooling of the panic of late yet the war seems very much in play.
Well, the financial market is affected by social media and announcement. This is why we hear Donald Trump uh talking
to the market uh to calm down the market saying we are going to reach a deal.
every week he says that at the beginning and then at the end he says um he he uh
pronounced his uh threat to Iran. So that's already a game that we see. But uh today for example there was an
uncertainty in the market and the price of oil and gas increased by four to 5%.
Because people thought that the straight of hormones is going to shut down. there was going to be a long war. But then
they saw things calming down a bit and then see the market stabilize itself.
But we see also the Americans allowing few tankers to cross because they want the supply to continue because America
is paying the price. There are hundred of millions of dollars that the Americans are paying on behalf of Israel
and Trump's war because of the price of gasoline and transport and everything else in America. It's not Iran that is
paying the price. Here in Europe, we are paying 37% extra the price of gas. The
gasoline has increased to 2.2 uh euro per liter of gasoline. diesel is
more expensive than the gasoline. So everybody is paying the price and this is why Donald Trump acknowledged that he
is fully aware and he said well for a while this is going to happen. He doesn't really care. He doesn't care
about the prices and the the cost on the American and the rest of the world population. He doesn't care about the
midterm elections. He cares only about his image and he wants to do something that Barack
Obama does not do. He is obsessed about the Obama deal, the JCPOA 2015. So he's
really very limited and he did not achieve any of his objectives and neither Benjamin Netanyahu has achieved
any of the stated objective from the beginning. And today Iran launched all the missile from all the position that
Donald Trump said he has obliterated. So everything is back to square one and nothing has been achieved. But something
for Iran has been achieved. If Iran has today under its control the straight of horos imposing fees under any other
title. But that was not the case before the war. Uh Elijah, it was great to be with you.
Uh one final unrelated question though.
Uh the audience is very curious and very much uh inspired and in awe of the painting behind you. If you want to give
a uh uh maybe some details about what it is uh so so you can satisfy their curiosity. Uh you don't have to but just
thought I would ask. Well, maybe we leave it for another time, but I can move away for you to see it.
Amazing. Amazing. Who did it? Who Who created it, if you don't mind me asking? It's a Belgian artist. Belgium artist.
Belgian Russian.
