[00:00:00] satire are shaping the conversation around
[00:00:04] war, the economy and these in power. we
[00:00:07] investigate claims of political profiteering, analyze how
[00:00:11] conflicting narratives are presented on television screens
[00:00:14] of and explore how social media users are holding leaders
[00:00:18] accountable by revisiting their own words through
[00:00:21] the sharp lens of late night satire from the
[00:00:25] tonight show
[00:00:26] of starring
[00:00:27] of jimmy fallen, we uncover the stories behind the... lines and the voices
[00:00:31] challenging them. welcome to season two of expose the award winning
[00:00:34] show that leaves no stone on
[00:00:36] turned.
[00:00:43] as the conflict in west Asia widens television networks are
[00:00:47] increasingly shaping
[00:00:48] of public perceptions through the language they choose and the narratives
[00:00:52] they promote. tonight we examine how major broadcasters frame the latest
[00:00:56] US and saudi military operations and whether. actual facts were
[00:01:00] emitted in the process, here are the
[00:01:03] of headlines: CBS Joe's criticism for its portrayal of casualties in
[00:01:07] Iraq and its
[00:01:08] a framing of regional armed
[00:01:10] of groups. Al-Jazera examines Saudi Arabia's military role as
[00:01:14] of analyst warn Riyad has entered a far more dangerous
[00:01:17] strategic
[00:01:18] landscape.
[00:01:26] As tensions continue to escalate across West Asia, media cover.
[00:01:30] has become just as consequential as military developments
[00:01:34] themselves. this week we examine how television networks frame a
[00:01:38] widening conflicts involving the United States, Saudi Arabia, Iraq
[00:01:42] and Iran,
[00:01:42] and whether the language they choose shapes public understanding more than the
[00:01:46] facts themselves. joining me our broadcast media expert
[00:01:50] Fuad Itayim and welcome back
[00:01:53] Fuad, thank you, thank you. Saudi Arabia's
[00:01:56] direct
[00:01:58] in military involvement alongside the US has opened this dangerous
[00:02:02] new chapter of violence and retaliation across the entire
[00:02:06] region and so we begin with the CBS news report today entitled
[00:02:09] latest on Iran War as Saudi forces join US
[00:02:13] strikes, so watch closely how the presenter's wording blurs these
[00:02:16] crucial uh distinctions while the guest inadvertently exposes
[00:02:20] the weaknesses
[00:02:21] of the official narrative, so let's take a
[00:02:23] look. welcome back
[00:02:27] to CBS News 24/7 Prime Time, I'm Juliet. Goodrich, today Iran
[00:02:31] launched a barrage of missiles at American forces in the Middle East, this as
[00:02:35] the U.S. and Saudis strike Tehran backed militias in
[00:02:38] Iraq, and then take a look at the aftermath
[00:02:41] of the air strikes, buildings and cars were left destroyed by the
[00:02:45] US and Saudi strike on Tehron-backed militias in Iraq.
[00:02:49] At least 20 fighters were
[00:02:50] of killed and 32 others wounded in these overnight strikes. So I
[00:02:54] want to bring
[00:02:55] of in retired US Navy vice admiral Robert Murritt to talk more about
[00:02:59] of this. Robert, thanks for joining us, was it risk for Saudi
[00:03:03] Arabia to join the war?
[00:03:07] of Julie, I would say that
[00:03:08] it is, they've been largely kept out of things with the
[00:03:12] focus on the other gulf states up until this point, and we can communicating very
[00:03:15] regularly with the Iranians, between the Saudi
[00:03:19] me
[00:03:19] of Arabia of and the Iranians to try to stay about the Fred to some
[00:03:23] degree, that's kind of changed both in terms
[00:03:25] of the attacks on the Iranian serogate forces inside
[00:03:29] Iraq. but also with
[00:03:33] of their attacks on the hoothies over the past weeks because of concerns that the saudis have about all their facilities on the
[00:03:37] red.
[00:03:41] actually for the repeated description of those killed
[00:03:45] as Iranian backed militia
[00:03:47] of strips away important context. do you agree? exactly and among
[00:03:51] those killed were actually pilgrims gathered ahead
[00:03:54] of the arb pilgrimage which is the world's largest annual
[00:03:58] religious pilgrimage. commemorating imam
[00:04:01] hussein bn ali alaihi salam, so at least 20 million
[00:04:05] shas attend every year, including three and six million
[00:04:08] Iranian citizens and so making the presence of Iranian nationals they are
[00:04:12] not so
[00:04:14] of surprising of and presenting every casualty through this purely military
[00:04:17] lens is really misrepresenting the reality on the ground. okay,
[00:04:21] ironically the retired
[00:04:23] of admiral also acknowledged that Saudi Arabia had maintained communication with
[00:04:27] Iran and actually was trying to avoid direct confrontation,
[00:04:30] which contradicts the simplified narrative that's been presented in the
[00:04:34] report, yeah, that's that's right, so it
[00:04:37] of brings of us to our second clip which comes from aljazira
[00:04:41] of english, titled why did Saudi Arabia join US strikes on Iraq, and
[00:04:45] what are the risks, so although the discussion is more
[00:04:48] of nuanced, it's still largely adopting this US strategic framing as
[00:04:52] vocalized by al jazeras Osama bin Javid
[00:04:55] who is discussing the latest developments, let's
[00:04:59] watch. Now a warning
[00:05:03] from President Trump following strikes a US airbase
[00:05:06] in Jordan and for
[00:05:07] of Iranian advisors that were killed
[00:05:09] of in the US Saudi strikes in Iraq. Assam Javed joins us
[00:05:13] here in Doha, the operative words there, US Saudi
[00:05:17] uh, joint strike. This is new thing for Saudi Arabia,
[00:05:21] where's the strategy here? Well, Saudi Arabia has been uh
[00:05:24] reluctantly involved in this war because the number of attacks that you've
[00:05:28] seen on Saudi territory, especially targeting US
[00:05:31] aircraft, US advisors as well as us hardware that
[00:05:35] is based in Saudi Arabia, so the Saudies have according to many sources
[00:05:39] closer to the Saudis, have been... has been very difficult
[00:05:43] to get them to not attack Iran in retaliation, this was
[00:05:47] the perfect opportunity after such a long time of waiting and
[00:05:51] patience, especially when this attack happened in jazan where
[00:05:54] this Saudi refinery of Aramku was hit and was put out of commission,
[00:05:58] the hoothis on one hand claimed that they were attacking it and the saudis
[00:06:02] actually tracked these drones coming from Iraqi territory and then
[00:06:06] they had to show action, and that is why you're seeing not just in one
[00:06:10] place, you're seeing across seven provinces. more than 20
[00:06:13] targets hit in these retaliatory strikes by the Saudis and the
[00:06:17] Americans and what is interesting here is that it is not just the
[00:06:20] PMF, the popular mobilization forces, not qaib hizbullah, it
[00:06:24] is also Iranian advisors who were target, so that just goes to show that there is
[00:06:28] level of intel that the Americans and the Saudis have within Iraq, and they
[00:06:32] wanted to perhaps show a message to the Iraqi militias that if you get
[00:06:36] involved, you'll be hit and you'll be hit hard, but there is danger here for
[00:06:39] Saudi Arabia, because the US is desperate. to get allies
[00:06:43] involved in this war because it gives them backing, it gives them a
[00:06:47] cover, but there's a danger here of escalation because the Iranians
[00:06:51] may will figure that, actually we can keep doing this in
[00:06:54] Iraq and it'll be just there, and at some point you've got
[00:06:58] to widen it out, or do you, but the the problem with this war
[00:07:02] is that it is regional while not being regional, the Saudies, the
[00:07:06] Amanis, the Qataris, the Emirates, they have not really
[00:07:10] all out gone against Iran, they have... not attacked Iran directly,
[00:07:14] but the the bases and airspaces which have been used by US
[00:07:18] forces and hence the Iranian retaliation, so the Saudi strategy
[00:07:22] is to try and contain it, they you've seen them time and again with the
[00:07:25] various partners, the Qataries, the Pakistanis, get involved in the back channel
[00:07:29] diplomacy, but the danger, as you said, is not just for Saudi
[00:07:33] itself, it is for oil exports from the entire region, because it is not just the
[00:07:37] state of hermus which remains choked and
[00:07:39] blocked, so actually one point deserves
[00:07:43] particular scrutiny, so the discussion portrays Saudi Arabia as
[00:07:47] showing extraordinary restraint despite hosting foreign
[00:07:51] military facilities that are being used to launch operations against other
[00:07:54] states, neighboring states and regional states like Iran and
[00:07:58] Iraq and Yemen, so under international law
[00:08:02] when these kinds of attacks are launched from the territory of one state toward
[00:08:06] another, the territory may become part the military operation, it's only
[00:08:09] natural, I mean whether or one agrees with retaliation or
[00:08:13] not, active participation changes legal and strategic
[00:08:17] calculation. Saudi Arabia has now moved away from hosting military
[00:08:20] infrastructure to directly participating in the strikes,
[00:08:23] significantly increasing the risks it faces, and this is something we saw during the 40-day
[00:08:27] war as well and now in Yemen. For sure, and narratives
[00:08:31] often shape perceptions before audiences can examine
[00:08:35] the facts for themselves, so many thanks to FAD and for their
[00:08:38] insights. Stay with us, dear viewers for more on Nexusain.
[00:08:48] From accusations of political profitteering and questions over ethics
[00:08:52] in the holds of power to growing concerns among American
[00:08:56] households over inflation energy prices and the economic
[00:09:00] consequences of scalating conflicts abroad. Mainstream media
[00:09:04] continues to examine the gap between official narratives and public
[00:09:08] reality. Tonight we look at how major outlets are reporting on
[00:09:11] the finance. interest surrounding political figures and the economic
[00:09:15] pressures facing ordinary Americans. Here are the
[00:09:19] headlines: MS now, Donald Trump Junior's business dealings
[00:09:23] raise fresh questions over presidential ethics,
[00:09:26] PBS News, rising gas prices and
[00:09:29] economic uncertainty, fuel, renewed
[00:09:32] concerns for American
[00:09:34] taxpayers.
[00:09:42] Economy. pressure, rising cost and questions over
[00:09:45] political accountability have become central issues for
[00:09:49] millions of Americans, tonight we examine how mainstream media
[00:09:53] outlets are covering allegations of political profitteering and
[00:09:57] the growing public concern over the economic
[00:10:00] consequences the escalating conflict with
[00:10:03] Iran. Joining media viewers are digital media expert
[00:10:07] Sima Itayim and analyst Fuad Itaim. hello and welcome both of you. We
[00:10:11] start with you Sema, thank you for. so US taxpayers are increasingly feeling the
[00:10:15] pressure of a struggling economy and what many have been describing
[00:10:18] as unnecessary war of choice against Iran that
[00:10:22] has added yet another layer of financial. so we begin with an article from
[00:10:26] ms now that is titled nobody's cashing in on the presidency quite like
[00:10:30] Donald Trump Jr. written by Paul Waldman so Waldman basically is focusing on
[00:10:34] how in his view when it comes to pursuing tax payer
[00:10:38] money and corruption and ethical concerns
[00:10:41] Trump Junior has reached this level unlike any other
[00:10:45] presid presidential relative before him so he writes that
[00:10:49] Don Jr has cemented his position as one the most ethically
[00:10:53] controversial presidential. family members while his father is
[00:10:57] still in office, so the article goes, in
[00:11:01] his second term, Trump had a realization, when it came to pursuing his own
[00:11:04] business interest while president, I found out that nobody cared, he told the New
[00:11:08] York Times earlier this year, so now he'll make money wherever he
[00:11:12] can, and there is no shortage of companies, billionaires and foreign
[00:11:15] government. Dawn Jr. wasn't just going to sit
[00:11:19] by and watch dad have all the fun, so he has undertaken his own
[00:11:23] frienzy of dealmaking, all of it. seemingly based on the fact that he's the
[00:11:27] president's son. some the enterprises are joint ventures with the whole
[00:11:30] family. there's world liberty financial, crypto company that has been the
[00:11:34] vehicle for some the biggest players looking to give payoffs to the trumps and to
[00:11:38] get something in return. as investigative report revealed, the United
[00:11:42] Arab Emirates National Security Advisor secretly invested half billion dollars
[00:11:46] in the company. so under US law government officials are restricted
[00:11:50] from using public office for private financial game. the
[00:11:54] constitution's
[00:11:54] foreign in imalliments clause actually and
[00:11:58] federal ethics law prohibit these certain forms
[00:12:02] of financial benefits from foreign interest that could create these kinds
[00:12:05] of conflicts of interest. okay, yeah, the controversy
[00:12:09] highlights this broader debate in Washington over whether existing ethics
[00:12:13] rules are strong enough when presidents and their families maintain
[00:12:17] extensive private business networks while holding public
[00:12:20] office, as is the case with Trump? for sure, because well
[00:12:24] trans transparency becomes even more important when
[00:12:28] decisions made, as um was highlighting, in
[00:12:32] government have economic consequences, not for one or
[00:12:35] two,
[00:12:36] for millions. yeah, this is exactly true, and the second story actually
[00:12:40] that we have comes from PBS News, it's entitled American's confidence in US
[00:12:44] economy falls again as the Iran conflict sends gas prices higher by
[00:12:48] matt, so this article explains that economic confidence
[00:12:51] declined steadily as fighting escalated. and the
[00:12:55] energy markets reacted continuously, so it states as
[00:12:59] fighting in the middle east escalated, the average price for a gallon of gas
[00:13:03] in the US started to rise again, on Tuesday, it was
[00:13:06] $4.10, according to the Auto Club AA. After being
[00:13:10] attacked by the US and Israel in late February, Iran shut down the straight of
[00:13:13] Hormus, through which about one fifth the world's oil travels, causing a
[00:13:17] spike in gas prices. That accelerated inflation, causing American's
[00:13:21] inflation adjusted incomes to decline.
[00:13:25] so the article also adds that the unemployment rate declined to
[00:13:29] a low 4.2% from 4.3% in May, though the drop
[00:13:33] mostly occurred because many people out of work gave up looking and were
[00:13:37] no longer counted as unemployed, so the article also notes
[00:13:41] actually that official economic figures can sometimes present only part
[00:13:44] the big picture,
[00:13:46] you know, they're not revealing everything with critics arguing that selective this
[00:13:50] kind of cherry picking of statistics and omitting certain
[00:13:54] data can... hide the real impact that is felt by ordinary households,
[00:13:58] and we've been seeing this omission, ultimately economic confidence is
[00:14:01] shaped not only by government numbers, but by what people experience every single
[00:14:05] day, from fuel prices to uh purchasing power and all these things.
[00:14:09] okay, therefore, for od the gap actually between official
[00:14:13] narratives and public experience remains a major political
[00:14:17] battleground. many thanks to you sama on these beautiful articles and to you
[00:14:21] also for.
[00:14:28] Political speeches no longer disappeared after the applause
[00:14:32] ends, across social media archived videos, public records
[00:14:36] and viral comparison are allowing millions to
[00:14:39] sunonize politicians promises against their actions, fueling
[00:14:43] increasingly vocal debate over accountability. Here are the
[00:14:46] headlines. Trump's
[00:14:50] passed medicare planch resurfaces as Americans question his
[00:14:53] changing priorities. luxury spending, crypto allegations and
[00:14:57] the rising cost of living dominate this week's political
[00:15:01] conversation
[00:15:02] online.
[00:15:10] social media has once again become the arena where
[00:15:14] political promises are revisited, compared and challenged
[00:15:18] in real time. this week, american users on x are
[00:15:22] questioning president Donald Trump's rhetoric on health.
[00:15:25] government spending and personal wealth, as many argue that
[00:15:29] ordinary citizens continue to shoulder rising economic
[00:15:32] burdens. joining me again are social media
[00:15:35] experts, and analyst hello and welcome
[00:15:39] back, see we begin with you, thank you for, so us
[00:15:43] netizens say that they're no longer judging trump by his campaign
[00:15:47] speeches, actually, but by comparing his own words over time, like before versus
[00:15:50] after, so let's begin with how his position on, for
[00:15:54] instance, medicare appears to have dramatically
[00:15:57] changed over time,
[00:16:00] so fact post trump in
[00:16:02] 2024, we are going to protect our great
[00:16:06] seniors and i will never that anyone touch your Medicare, so let's
[00:16:10] quickly watch that together. We're going to protect
[00:16:13] our great seniors, and I will never let anyone touch your
[00:16:17] Medicare or your social
[00:16:19] security. So campaign
[00:16:23] promises often become political liabilities when
[00:16:26] archived clips resurface and invite all these direct comparisons with
[00:16:30] later policy positions. Yeah, so now the very same account highlights Trump's more
[00:16:34] recent remarks, drawing actually sharp critic'.
[00:16:43] 2026
[00:16:45] Trump were in fighting wars, it's not possible for us to take care of medicare,
[00:16:49] daycare, medicaid, all these things, this is the no more wars man
[00:16:52] also, so let's take a look at the
[00:16:54] video, because the united states can't
[00:16:58] take care of daycare, that has to be up to a
[00:17:01] state, we can't take care of day, we're a big country, we have
[00:17:05] 50 states, we have all these other people. fighting wars, we can't
[00:17:09] take care of daycare, you got to let a state take care of daycare, and they
[00:17:13] should pay for it too, they should pay, they have to raise their
[00:17:16] taxes, but they should pay for it, and we could lower our taxes a little bit
[00:17:20] to them to make up, but we it's not possible for us to take care of
[00:17:24] daycare, medicaid, medicare, all these
[00:17:27] individual things, they can do it a state basis, you can't do it
[00:17:31] a federal, we have to take care of one thing, military
[00:17:35] protection,
[00:17:38] the contrast between these two clips seima
[00:17:41] explains clearly why this comparison has spread
[00:17:45] so widely across social media platforms and our
[00:17:49] next post actually shifts from healthcare which we just saw to presidential
[00:17:52] spending and because users online have been
[00:17:55] criticizing what they have been describing as
[00:17:58] misplaced priorities actually during difficult economic times so the
[00:18:02] patriotic blonde yeah breck warsham so trump
[00:18:06] reveals that
[00:18:07] to white have house has ordered 250 new catalact escalades for the
[00:18:11] presidential motor cade. Our guys are very spoiled, they like the
[00:18:14] escalades, so do I. Americans can't afford food or gas and he's literally
[00:18:18] laughing in our face. So here's Trump bragging. Let's take a look at this
[00:18:22] video. Right here in Michigan, General Motors
[00:18:26] is expanding operations its factory
[00:18:30] zero.
[00:18:30] Do you know what factory zero is? What the hell does that mean? Mary factory so you're
[00:18:35] to going in Detroit to produce some them. America's most iconic
[00:18:39] vehicles, including the Chevy, well I hear
[00:18:42] it's good, silverado, right? Silverado, really hot,
[00:18:46] right? It's going to be hotter after today, the
[00:18:50] GMC Sierra, the world famous hummer, I got to look
[00:18:54] at some these, in fact I said to Mary, how about send a
[00:18:57] couple, and one and only
[00:19:01] the Escalade, you ordered, I think 250 escalades,
[00:19:04] right, we ordered 250 escalades.
[00:19:11] "That's so we look sharp in those cavalcades, we
[00:19:15] look sharp in those escalades, our guys are very spoiled, they're very spoiled,
[00:19:19] they like the escalades, so do I, they were great to deal with general motors, they
[00:19:23] make it literally 250 them, and it was about
[00:19:26] time, so for lot of critics,
[00:19:30] this symbolism matters and these wild displays of luxury can
[00:19:34] quickly become politically damaging when infl'. and household
[00:19:38] costs are dominating public concerns, especially during this
[00:19:42] unnecessary war that Trump has burdened the American people
[00:19:45] with, yeah, and this actually brings us to our final post that focuses
[00:19:49] on allegations of financial misconduct with the critics
[00:19:53] online arguing that personal enrichment has become
[00:19:56] inseparable from public office,
[00:19:59] so headquarters says senator chris van holler, this
[00:20:03] is hq news now, we know this is the most corrupt administration
[00:20:07] in america. in history, what I think not all
[00:20:10] Americans appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the lion's share the corruption
[00:20:14] coming out the Trump white house. Trump has increased his net worth by $2.2
[00:20:18] billion dollars last year alone, 2.2 billion while Americans are struggling to
[00:20:22] make ends meat, and more than half of that, 1.4 billion of those
[00:20:26] profits come from cryptoscams. So let's take a
[00:20:29] look. We know this
[00:20:33] is the most corrupt administration in American
[00:20:36] history. What I think not all Americans
[00:20:39] appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the
[00:20:43] lion share the corruption coming out the
[00:20:47] Trump White House. So Senator Blumen. Paul
[00:20:50] said, President Trump has increased his net
[00:20:54] worth by $2.2 billion dollars last
[00:20:58] year alone, $2.2 billion dollars
[00:21:02] while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and more than
[00:21:06] half of that, 1.4 billion of
[00:21:09] those profits come from crypto
[00:21:12] scams. Senator Blumentall mentioned one
[00:21:16] the major ones, which was this Trump meme coin.
[00:21:20] "that individual we heard who got
[00:21:23] scammed was one of almost
[00:21:27] 1 million Americans who were taken
[00:21:30] advantage of by Donald Trump, in fact about 1
[00:21:34] million Americans lost $3.8
[00:21:37] billion dollars their money to the
[00:21:41] Trump Memecoin
[00:21:43] scam, so this
[00:21:47] proves that social media doesn't..." simply just react to political
[00:21:51] events anymore, it preserves a permanent public record, it's become like an
[00:21:55] archive, yes, and it's very important to highlight, fuad that to
[00:21:59] whether these criticisms translate into lasting political
[00:22:03] consequences remains to be seen, but they clearly
[00:22:06] demonstrate how social media continues to preserve, amplify and
[00:22:10] scrutinize the words and actions of those in power. many
[00:22:14] thanks again to uh for joining us,
[00:22:18] stay with us, dear viewers for more on
[00:22:20] was
[00:22:27] there. behind every geopolitical crisis lies set of
[00:22:30] numbers that reveal its real impact on people's daily lives.
[00:22:34] tonight we examine the financial consequences of rising
[00:22:38] energy costs in the United States as global markets react to
[00:22:42] growing instability. here are the headlines. oil surpasses
[00:22:46] $100 per barrel as straight of hormones disruption.
[00:22:50] push US fuel cost higher, billions
[00:22:54] and extra household expenses, fuel economic anxiety as
[00:22:57] inflation and consumer confidence takes a
[00:23:00] hit.
[00:23:07] Energy prices are often among the first indicators of how geopolitical
[00:23:11] conflicts affect ordinary people. As us wars in west asia
[00:23:15] continues to disrupt global markets, Americans on the other hand,
[00:23:19] American. consumers are now facing higher fuel costts, rising
[00:23:22] inflation pressures and growing concerns about the economy
[00:23:26] consequences of prolonged instability. joining me
[00:23:30] are senior researcher hiba murad and analyst sim, welcome both, we
[00:23:34] begin with you hiba. thank you farah, the numbers tell a story that
[00:23:38] goes beyond headlines. yes, the war Trump started with Iran has
[00:23:42] triggered major energy shock, pushing crude oil
[00:23:46] prices above $100 per barrel, and
[00:23:50] gasoline gasoline uh prices across the United States
[00:23:53] sharply higher. now according to market data, the
[00:23:57] national average price for regular gasoline reached between
[00:24:01] $4.06 and $4.11 per
[00:24:04] gallon in late july 2026. now
[00:24:08] CNBC's fuel market analysis reported the following: the
[00:24:11] national average price at the pump was
[00:24:14] $4.06 a gallon on Wednesday
[00:24:18] up 4.4% from $3.89 a week
[00:24:21] ago, according to aa. now the economic economic
[00:24:25] impact has been like really significant. a brown
[00:24:29] university study estimated that American consumers have
[00:24:32] spent additional 41 billion
[00:24:36] dollars on fuel since the crisis began uh with the
[00:24:40] average household absorbing between $316 and
[00:24:43] $450 in extra energy costs. which is very high
[00:24:47] number. and you know these figures that you are sharing. they're
[00:24:50] demonstrating how foreign policy decisions can very quickly translate
[00:24:54] into domestic economic pressures, so for families dealing for example
[00:24:58] with the higher living cost, even a small increase at the gas
[00:25:02] pond can have major impact, can change everything and can be felt
[00:25:06] exactly, see man, the disruption here is not only about
[00:25:09] gasoline, according to the sources, the straight of hormo is one
[00:25:13] the world's most important energy corridors has
[00:25:17] also seen shipping disruptions effect. saying around
[00:25:20] 20% of global oil and liquified natural gas
[00:25:24] supplies, that's major, analysts estimate that
[00:25:27] approximately 500 million barrels of crude oil have been
[00:25:31] removed from global circulation since the crisis began, can you imagine these
[00:25:35] pressures at one point also hiba appear to be affecting public
[00:25:39] confidence correct as well, very correct, the AP consumer
[00:25:42] confidence index dropped to 90.8 in
[00:25:46] July, now reflecting growing concerns as Energy
[00:25:50] costs continue to rise. Meanwhile, Farah, the Bureau of Labor
[00:25:54] Statistics recorded inflation climbing to
[00:25:56] 3.8% as energy prices searched. Okay, so
[00:26:00] this shows that the economic consequences. of war are not limited just to
[00:26:04] governments or to markets because they're reaching and spilling
[00:26:07] directly over into households, and this is affecting
[00:26:10] transportation, it's affecting food prices and everyday
[00:26:14] purchasing power as a whole, and when citizens actually
[00:26:18] feel those pressures, and as we have seen throughout the history,
[00:26:22] economic issues often become political issues on the long term,
[00:26:26] absolutely, absolutely, the broader lesson for the from these figures is
[00:26:30] that energy security remains. deeply connected to global
[00:26:34] stability, so any disruption in key supply roots
[00:26:38] can create ripple effects that reach consumers thousands of
[00:26:41] miles away. okay, so therefore the system doesn't matter, yes, therefore, as
[00:26:45] you've been highlighting, the numbers reveal the human cost behind
[00:26:49] economic headlines. many thanks to for joining
[00:26:53] us, stay with us, dear viewers for more on
