[00:00:00] We trace how mainstream media
[00:00:02] of reports, viral posts and political satire are
[00:00:06] shaping the conversation around war, the
[00:00:09] economy and these in power. We investigate claims
[00:00:13] of political profiteering, analyze how conflicting narratives are
[00:00:17] presented on television screens
[00:00:19] of and explore how social media users are holding leaders
[00:00:23] accountable by revisiting their own words through the
[00:00:27] sharp lens of late night satire. from the tonight
[00:00:31] show
[00:00:31] of starring jimmy fallen, we uncover the stories behind the headlines
[00:00:35] and the the
[00:00:39] award winning show that leaves no stone
[00:00:42] a unturned.
[00:00:48] as the conflict in west Asia widens, television networks are
[00:00:52] increasingly
[00:00:53] of shaping public perceptions through the language they choose and the
[00:00:57] narratives they promote. tonight we examine how major broadcasters
[00:01:01] framed the latest US and Saudi military operations and whether
[00:01:04] crucial facts were emitted in the process. Here are the
[00:01:08] of headlines. CBS jose criticism for its portrayal of casualties in
[00:01:12] Iraq and its
[00:01:13] a framing of regional armed
[00:01:15] of groups. All Jazira examines Saudi Arabia's military role as
[00:01:19] of analyst warn Riyad has entered a far more dangerous strategic
[00:01:23] landscape.
[00:01:31] As tensions continue to escalate across West Asia, media
[00:01:34] coverage has become just as consequential as military
[00:01:38] developments themselves. This week we examine how television
[00:01:42] networks frame a widening conflict involving the United States, Saudi
[00:01:46] Arabia, Iraq and Iran, and whether the language they choose shapes
[00:01:49] public understanding more than the facts themselves. Joining me I
[00:01:53] broadcast media expert Fuad Itayim,
[00:01:57] welcome back Fuad, thank you, thank you. farah:
[00:02:01] Saudi Arabia's direct
[00:02:03] in military involvement alongside the US has opened this dangerous
[00:02:07] new chapter of violence and retaliation across the
[00:02:10] entire region, and so we begin with the CBS news report today entitled
[00:02:14] latest on Iran War as Saudi forces join US
[00:02:18] strikes, so watch closely how the presenter's wording blurs these
[00:02:21] crucial uh distinctions while the guest inadvertently exposes
[00:02:25] the weaknesses
[00:02:26] of the official narrative. So let's take a look.
[00:02:32] Welcome back to CBS News 24/7 Prime Time. I'm Juliet Gudrich. Today
[00:02:36] Iran launched a barrage of missiles and American forces in the Middle East.
[00:02:40] This as the US and Saudis strike Terron-backed militias in
[00:02:43] Iraq. And then take a look at the aftermath
[00:02:46] of the air strikes. Buildings and cars were left destroyed by the
[00:02:50] US and Saudi strike on Tehron-backed militias in
[00:02:53] Iraq. At least 20 fighters were
[00:02:55] of killed and 32 others wounded in these overnight strikes. So.
[00:03:00] of want to bring in retired US Navy vice admiral Robert Murritt to talk more about
[00:03:04] this. Robert, thanks for joining us, was it risk for Saudi
[00:03:08] Arabia to join the war?
[00:03:11] Julie, I would say that
[00:03:13] it is, they've been largely um kept out of things with the
[00:03:17] focus on the other gulf states up until this point, and communicating very
[00:03:20] regularly with the Iranians between the Saudi
[00:03:24] of Arabia me and of the Iranians to try to stay about the frey to some
[00:03:28] degree, that's kind of changed. both in terms
[00:03:30] of the attacks on the Iranian surrogat forces inside
[00:03:34] Iraq, but also with their attacks on the Houthies over the past weeks
[00:03:38] because of concerns that the Saudis have about
[00:03:41] من all their facilities on the red
[00:03:42] sea. Actually
[00:03:46] for the repeated description of those killed as
[00:03:50] Iranian backed militia
[00:03:52] of strips away important context, do you agree? exactly, and among
[00:03:56] those killed were actually pilgrims gathered in Kerbala ahead
[00:03:59] of the... pilgrimage, which is the world's largest annual
[00:04:03] religious pilgrimage commemorating imam
[00:04:06] hussein salam, so at least 20
[00:04:10] million shas attend every year, including three and six million
[00:04:14] Iranian citizens and so making the presence of Iranian nationals they are
[00:04:17] not so surprising and presenting every casualty through this
[00:04:21] purely military lens is really misrepresenting the reality on the
[00:04:25] ground. okay, ironically the retired
[00:04:28] of admiral also acknowledged that Saudi Arabia had maintained communication with Iran
[00:04:32] and actually was trying to avoid direct confrontation, which
[00:04:36] contradicts the simplified narrative that's been uh presented in the
[00:04:39] report. yeah, that's that's
[00:04:41] of right, so it
[00:04:42] of brings us to our second clip which comes from aljazira English
[00:04:46] titled why did Saudi Arabia join US strikes on Iraq and what
[00:04:50] are the risks? so although the discussion is more
[00:04:54] of nuanced, it's still largely adopting this US strategic framing as
[00:04:57] vocalized by al-jaziras Osama Ben. Javid
[00:05:00] who is discussing the latest developments. Let's
[00:05:04] watch. Now a warning
[00:05:08] from President Trump following strikes a US airbase in
[00:05:11] Jordan and for Iranian advisors that were killed in the US
[00:05:15] Saudi strikes in Iraq. Saam bin Javid joins us here in
[00:05:19] Doha. The operative words there, U.S. Saudi uh,
[00:05:22] joint strike. This is new thing for Saudi Arabia. Where's the
[00:05:26] strategy here? Well, Saudi Arabia has been reluctantly
[00:05:30] involved in this war because the number of attacks that you've seen on Saudi
[00:05:34] territory, especially targeting US aircraft, US
[00:05:38] advisors, as well as used hardware that is based in Saudi Arabia. So the
[00:05:42] Saudi. have according to many sources closer to Saudies have been
[00:05:45] it has been very difficult to get them to not
[00:05:49] attack Iran in retaliation, this was the perfect opportunity
[00:05:53] after such a long time of waiting and patience,
[00:05:56] especially when this attack happened in Jazan where this Saudi
[00:06:00] refinery of Ramku was hit and was put out of commission, the hoossies
[00:06:04] on one hand claimed that they were attacking it and the Saudis actually track
[00:06:08] these drones coming from Iraqi territory and then they had to show...
[00:06:12] action and that is why you're seeing not just in one place, you're seeing across
[00:06:16] seven provinces, more than 20 targets hit in these
[00:06:20] retaliatory strikes by the saudies and the Americans, and what is
[00:06:23] interesting here is that it is not just the PMF, the popular
[00:06:26] mobilization forces, not qaib hizbullah, it is also
[00:06:30] Iranian advisors who were target, so that just goes to show that there is level of
[00:06:34] intell that the Americans and the Saudis have within Iraq, and they wanted to
[00:06:38] perhaps show a message to the Iraqi militias that if you get involved you'll be
[00:06:41] hit. 'you'll be hit hard, but there is danger here for Saudi Arabia,
[00:06:45] because the US is desperate to get allies involved in
[00:06:49] this war because it gives them backing, it gives them a cover, but there's a danger
[00:06:53] here of escalation, because the Iranians may will figure that,
[00:06:57] actually we can keep doing this in Iraq and it'll
[00:07:01] be just there, and at some point you've got to widen it out, or
[00:07:04] do you, but the the problem with this war is that it is
[00:07:08] regional while not being regional, the Saudis, the Amamanies, the...
[00:07:12] is the Emirates, they have not really all out gone against
[00:07:16] Iran, they have not attacked Iran directly, but the their bases
[00:07:20] and air spaces which have been used by US forces and hence the Iranian
[00:07:24] retaliation, so the Saudi strategy is to try and contain it,
[00:07:28] the you've seen them time and again with the various partners, the Qataries, the
[00:07:32] Pakistanis get involved in the back channel diplomacy, but the danger as
[00:07:36] you said is not just for Saudi itself, it is for oil
[00:07:40] exports from the entire region because it is not just the state of hermus which
[00:07:44] remains choked and blocked, so actually one point
[00:07:48] deserves particular scrutiny, so the discussion portrays Saudi
[00:07:51] Arabia as showing extraordinary restraint
[00:07:54] despite hosting foreign military facilities that are being used to launch
[00:07:58] operations against other states, neighboring states and regional
[00:08:01] states like Iran and Iraq and
[00:08:04] Yemen, so under international law when these kinds of attacks
[00:08:08] are launched from the territory of one state toward another, the territory may be
[00:08:12] become part the military operation, it's only natural, I mean,
[00:08:16] whether one agrees with retaliation or not, active
[00:08:19] participation, changes legal and strategic calculation, Saudi Arabia has now
[00:08:23] moved away from hosting military infrastructure to directly participating
[00:08:27] in the strikes, significantly increasing the risks it faces, and this is
[00:08:31] something we saw during the 40-day war as well, and now in Yemen, for
[00:08:34] sure, and narratives often shape perceptions before
[00:08:38] audiences can examine the facts for themselves, so many thanks to
[00:08:42] FAD. and
[00:08:54] accusations of political profitteering and questions over ethics in
[00:08:58] the holes of power, to growing concerns among American
[00:09:01] households over inflation, energy prices and the economic
[00:09:05] consequences of scalating conflicts abroad. Mainstream media
[00:09:09] continues to examine the gap between official narratives. and public
[00:09:13] reality. Tonight we look at how major outlets are reporting on
[00:09:17] the financial interests surrounding political figures and the economic
[00:09:21] pressures facing ordinary Americans. Here are the
[00:09:24] headlines: MS now, Donald Trump Junior's business dealings
[00:09:28] raise fresh questions over presidential ethics,
[00:09:31] PBS news, rising gas prices and
[00:09:34] economic uncertainty, fuel, renewed
[00:09:38] concerns for American
[00:09:39] taxpayers.
[00:09:47] Economic pressure, rising cost, and questions over political
[00:09:51] accountability have become central issues for millions of
[00:09:55] Americans. Tonight we examine how mainstream media outlets are
[00:09:59] covering allegations of political profitteering and the growing
[00:10:03] public concern over the economic consequences the
[00:10:07] escalating conflict with Iran. Joining media viewers are
[00:10:10] digital media experts see.
[00:10:19] feeling the pressure of a struggling economy and what many have been
[00:10:23] describing? necessary war of choice against
[00:10:27] Iran that has added yet another layer of financial burden, so we begin with
[00:10:31] an article from M.S. now that is titled nobody's cashing in on the
[00:10:35] presidency quite like Donald Trump Jr. written by Paul Waldman, so Waldman
[00:10:38] basically is focusing on how in his view, when it comes to pursuing
[00:10:42] taxpayer money and corruption and ethical
[00:10:45] concerns, Trump Jr. has reached this level unlike
[00:10:49] any other presid presidential relative before him,
[00:10:53] so he writes that don't Jr. has cemented his position as one
[00:10:57] the most ethically controversial presidential family members while
[00:11:01] his father is still in office. So the article
[00:11:04] goes, "In his second term, Trump had realization.
[00:11:08] When it came to pursuing his own business interest while President, I found
[00:11:12] out that nobody cared," he told the New York Times earlier this year, so now he'll make
[00:11:16] money wherever he can, and there is no shortage of companies, billionaires
[00:11:20] and foreign government. Dawn Jr. wasn't just
[00:11:23] going to sit by and... watch dad have all the fun, so he has
[00:11:27] undertaken his own frenzy of dealmaking, all of it seemingly based on the
[00:11:31] fact that he's the president's son. some the enterprises are joint ventures
[00:11:35] with the whole family. there's world liberty financial, crypto company that has
[00:11:39] been the vehicle for some the biggest players looking to give payoffs to the trumps
[00:11:43] and to get something in return. as investigative report revealed, the
[00:11:47] United Arab Emirates, national security advisor secretly invested half billion
[00:11:51] dollars in the company, so under US law government officials are restricted.
[00:11:55] from using public office for private financial game. the
[00:11:59] constitution's foreign in emolements clause
[00:12:03] actually and federal ethics law prohibits these
[00:12:06] certain forms of financial benefits from foreign interest that could create these
[00:12:10] kinds of conflicts of interest. okay, yeah, the controversy
[00:12:14] highlights this broader debate in Washington over whether existing ethics
[00:12:18] rules are strong enough when presidents and their families maintain
[00:12:22] extensive private business networks while holding. public
[00:12:25] office as is the case with Trump for sure Fuad, because while
[00:12:29] transparency becomes even more important when
[00:12:33] decisions made as um Asima was highlighting in
[00:12:36] government have economic consequences, not for one or two
[00:12:40] for millions. Yeah, this is exactly true fadah, and the second
[00:12:44] story actually that we have comes from PBS News, it's entitled American's
[00:12:48] confidence in US economy falls again as the Iran conflict sends gas prices
[00:12:52] higher by matt, so this article is... explains that economic
[00:12:56] confidence declined steadily as fighting
[00:12:59] escalated and the energy markets reacted continuously. so it
[00:13:03] states as fighting in the middle east escalated, the average price
[00:13:07] for a gallon of gas in the US started to rise again. on Tuesday, it was
[00:13:11] $4.10 according to the Auto Club aa. after being
[00:13:15] attacked by the US and Israel in late February, Iran shut down the straight of
[00:13:18] Hormus, through which about 1/5th the world's oil travels, causing a
[00:13:22] spike in gas prices. That accelerated. inflation causing
[00:13:26] American's inflation adjusted incomes to
[00:13:28] decline, so the article also adds that the
[00:13:32] unemployment rate declined to a low 4.2% from
[00:13:36] 4.3% in May, though the drop mostly occurred because many
[00:13:40] people out of work gave up looking and were no longer counted as unemployed,
[00:13:44] so the article also notes actually that official economic figures can
[00:13:48] sometimes present only part the big picture, they're
[00:13:51] not revealing everything with critics arguing that selective. "this kind of
[00:13:55] cherry picking of statistics and omitting certain
[00:13:59] data can hide the real impact that is felt by ordinary households
[00:14:03] and we've been seeing this omission, ultimately economic confidence is
[00:14:07] shaped not only by government numbers but by what people experience every single day
[00:14:10] from fuel prices to uh purchasing power and all these things okay
[00:14:14] therefore fuad um the gap actually between official narratives
[00:14:18] and public experience remains a major political
[00:14:22] battleground, many thanks to you Sima on these beautiful."
[00:14:34] speeches no longer disappeared after the applause ends,
[00:14:38] across social media archived videos, public records and viral
[00:14:42] comparison are allowing millions to sunonize
[00:14:45] politicians promises against their actions, fueling increasingly
[00:14:49] vocal debate over accountability. here are the
[00:14:51] headlines.
[00:14:55] Trump's past Medicare pledge resurfaces as Americans question his
[00:14:58] changing priorities, luxury spending, crypto allegations
[00:15:02] and the rising cost of living dominate this week's
[00:15:06] political conversation
[00:15:08] online.
[00:15:15] Social media has once again become the arena where
[00:15:19] political promises are revisited, compared and challenged
[00:15:23] in real time, this American users on X are
[00:15:27] questioning President Donald Trump's rhetoric on healthcare,
[00:15:30] government spending and personal wealth, as many argue that
[00:15:34] ordinary citizens continue to shoulder rising economic
[00:15:37] burdens, joining me again are social media
[00:15:40] experts, sim and analyst, hello and welcome
[00:15:44] back, see we begin with you, thank you fah, so us
[00:15:48] netizens say that they're no longer judging trump by his campaign
[00:15:52] speeches, actually, but by comparing his own words over time, like before versus
[00:15:56] after, so let's begin with how his position on for
[00:15:59] instance, medicare peer to have dramatically changed
[00:16:03] over time, so fact post
[00:16:07] trump. in 2024, we are going to protect our
[00:16:11] great seniors and I will never let anyone touch your Medicare, so
[00:16:14] let's quickly watch that together. We're going to
[00:16:18] protect our great seniors, and I will never let anyone touch
[00:16:22] your Medicare or your social
[00:16:24] security. So campaign
[00:16:28] promises often become political liabilities when
[00:16:31] archived clips resurface and invite all these direct comparisons with
[00:16:35] later policy positions. Yeah. Yeah, so now the very same account highlights Trump's more
[00:16:39] recent remarks, drawing actually sharp criticism over
[00:16:43] what many have seen as a this a complete reversal, a complete
[00:16:46] turnaround, so fact post Trump in 2026, we're
[00:16:50] fighting wars, it's not possible for us to take care of medicare,
[00:16:54] daycare, medicaid, all these things, this is the no more wars man
[00:16:58] also, so let's take a look at the video,
[00:17:01] because the United States can't take care of daycare, that has
[00:17:05] to be up to a state. "we can't take care of daycare, we're a big
[00:17:09] country, we have 50 states, we have all these other people, we're fighting
[00:17:13] wars, we can't take care of daycare, you got to let a state
[00:17:17] take care of daycare, and they should pay for it too, they should pay,
[00:17:20] they have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it, and we could lower
[00:17:24] our taxes a little bit to them to make up, but we, it's not
[00:17:28] possible for us to take care of daycare, medicaid, medicare,
[00:17:32] all these individual things, they can do it a state basis, you
[00:17:36] can't do it a federal." "we have to take care of one thing, military
[00:17:40] protection. the contrast
[00:17:44] between these two clips, seima, explains
[00:17:47] clearly why this comparison has spread so widely
[00:17:51] across social media platforms. and our next post actually
[00:17:55] shifts from healthcare, which we just saw to presidential spending, and
[00:17:59] because users online have been criticizing what they have been
[00:18:02] describing as misplaced priorities actually during difficult
[00:18:06] economic times. so the patriotic blonde,
[00:18:09] yeah, breck warsham, so trump reveals that the white house has ordered
[00:18:13] 250 new catalyc escalades for the presidential
[00:18:16] motorcade. our guys are very spoiled, they
[00:18:19] like the escalade, so do i. americans can't afford food or gas and he's literally
[00:18:23] laughing in our face. so here's Trump bragging. let's take a look at this
[00:18:27] video. right here in Michigan General Motors
[00:18:31] is expanding operations its factory
[00:18:35] zero. do you know what factory zero is? what the hell? what does that mean mary factory so you can
[00:18:39] have in Detroit to produce some of America's
[00:18:43] most iconic vehicles including the
[00:18:46] chevy well I hear it's good silvarado
[00:18:49] right silvarado really hot
[00:18:55] the GMC serra the world famous hummer I got to
[00:18:59] look at some these in fact I said to Mary how about sending a
[00:19:02] couple and one and only the
[00:19:06] escalate we all I think 250 escalates, right?
[00:19:10] We ordered 250
[00:19:11] escalates.
[00:19:16] That's so we look sharp in those cavalcades,
[00:19:19] you know, we look sharp in those escalades. Our guys are very
[00:19:22] spoiled, they're very spoiled, they like the escalate, so do I, they
[00:19:26] were great to deal with general motors, they make it literally 250
[00:19:30] them, and it was about time.
[00:19:34] So for lot of critics uh, this symbolism matters and these.
[00:19:38] wild displays of luxury can quickly become politically damaging
[00:19:42] when inflation and household costs are dominating public
[00:19:45] concerns, especially during this unnecessary war that Trump has
[00:19:49] burdened the American people with. yeah, and this actually brings us to our final
[00:19:53] post that focuses on allegations of financial
[00:19:56] misconduct with the critics online arguing that
[00:19:59] personal enrichment has become inseparable from public
[00:20:06] say senator Chris. This is
[00:20:08] H HQ news now. We know this is the most corrupt administration in
[00:20:12] American history. What I think not all Americans
[00:20:16] appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the lion's share the corruption coming out the
[00:20:20] Trump White House. Trump has increased his net worth by 2.2 billion dollars
[00:20:24] last year alone. 2.2 billion while Americans are struggling to make ends
[00:20:27] meet and more than half of that 1.4 billion of those profits
[00:20:31] come from crypto scams. So let's take a
[00:20:34] look. "We know this
[00:20:38] is the most corrupt administration in American
[00:20:42] history. What I think not all Americans
[00:20:44] appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the
[00:20:48] lion share." the corruption coming out the
[00:20:52] Trump White House, so Senator Blumenfall
[00:20:55] said, President Trump has increased his net
[00:20:59] worth by $2.2 billion dollars last
[00:21:03] year alone, 2.2 billion dollars
[00:21:07] while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and more than
[00:21:11] half of that, $1.4 billion of
[00:21:15] those profits come from crypto
[00:21:17] scams. Senator Blumental. mentioned uh one
[00:21:21] the major ones, which was this Trump meme
[00:21:24] coin, that individual we heard who got
[00:21:28] scammed, was one of almost
[00:21:32] 1 million Americans who were taken
[00:21:35] advantage of by Donald Trump, in fact about 1
[00:21:39] million Americans lost $3.8
[00:21:42] billion dollars their money to the
[00:21:46] Trump Memecoin scam.
[00:21:52] so this proves that social media doesn't simply just react to political
[00:21:56] events anymore, it preserves a permanent public record, it's become like an
[00:22:00] archive, yes, and it's very important to highlight, fuad that
[00:22:03] whether these criticisms translate into lasting
[00:22:07] political consequences remains to be seen, but they
[00:22:11] clearly demonstrate how social media continues to preserve, amplify
[00:22:15] and scrutinize the words and actions of those in power. many
[00:22:19] thanks again to
[00:22:33] every geopolitical crisis lies set of numbers that reveal
[00:22:36] its real impact on people's daily lives. tonight we examine
[00:22:40] the financial consequences of rising energy costs in the United
[00:22:44] States as global markets react to growing instability. here are
[00:22:48] the headlines. Oil sourpasses $100
[00:22:52] per barrel as straight of hormos disruptions push US
[00:22:56] fuel coast higher. Billions in extra
[00:22:59] household expenses, fuel economic anxiety as
[00:23:03] inflation and consumer confidence takes a
[00:23:05] hit.
[00:23:12] Energy prices are often among the first indicators of how geopolitical
[00:23:16] conflicts affect ordinary people as US wars. West Asia
[00:23:20] continues to disrupt global markets. Americans on the other hand,
[00:23:24] American consumers are now facing higher fuel calls, rising
[00:23:28] inflation pressures and growing concerns about the economic
[00:23:31] consequences of prolonged instability. Joining me
[00:23:35] are senior researcher Hiba Murad and analyst Sima Itayim. Welcome both. We
[00:23:39] begin with you Hiba. Thank you, Farah. The numbers tell a story that
[00:23:43] goes beyond the headlines. Yes, the war Trump started with Iran has
[00:23:47] triggered major energy shock. pushing crude oil
[00:23:51] prices above $100 per barrel and
[00:23:54] sending gasoline gasoline uh prices across the United States
[00:23:58] sharkly higher. now according to market data, the
[00:24:02] national average price for regular gasoline reached between
[00:24:06] $4.06 and $4.11 per
[00:24:10] gallon in late July 2026. now CNBC's
[00:24:14] fuel market analysis reported the following: the national average
[00:24:17] price at the pump was 4.0 $6 a gallon on
[00:24:21] Wednesday up 4.4% from
[00:24:25] $3.89 a week ago according to aa. now
[00:24:29] the economic economic impact has been like really
[00:24:32] significant. a brown university study estimated that
[00:24:36] American consumers have spent additional
[00:24:39] $41 billion dollars on fuel since the crisis
[00:24:43] began with the average household absorbing between
[00:24:47] $316 and $450. is an extra energy cost,
[00:24:51] this is very high number, and you know these figures that you are
[00:24:54] sharing, they're demonstrating how foreign policy decisions can very
[00:24:58] quickly translate into domestic economic pressures, so for
[00:25:02] families dealing for example with the higher living cost, even a small
[00:25:05] increase at the gas pond can have major impact, can change
[00:25:09] everything and can be felt exactly, sema and the disruption here
[00:25:13] is not only about gasoline, according to the sources, the straight
[00:25:17] of hormo is one the world's most important energy
[00:25:21] corridors has also seen shipping disruptions
[00:25:24] affecting around 20% of global oil and liquified
[00:25:28] natural gas supplies, that's major. analysts estimate that
[00:25:32] approximately 500 million barrels of crude oil have been
[00:25:36] removed from global circulation since the crisis began. can you imagine that? these
[00:25:40] pressures at one point also hibba appear to be affecting public
[00:25:44] confidence correct as well. very correct. the AP consumer
[00:25:47] confidence index dropped to 90%. 2.8 in
[00:25:51] uh July, now reflecting growing concerns as energy
[00:25:55] costs continue to rise, meanwhile farah, the Bureau of Labor
[00:25:59] Statistics recorded inflation climbing to 3.5
[00:26:02] 8% as energy prices searched, okay? so this shows that the
[00:26:06] economic consequences of war are not limited just to governments
[00:26:09] or to markets because they're reaching and spilling
[00:26:12] directly over into households, and this is affecting
[00:26:16] transportation, it's affecting food prices and everyday
[00:26:19] purchasing power as
[00:26:21] a whole,
[00:26:21] and when citizens actually feel those pressures, and as we have seen
[00:26:25] throughout the history, economic issues often become
[00:26:29] political issues on the long term, absolutely, absolutely. the broader
[00:26:33] lesson for the from these figures is that energy security remains
[00:26:37] deeply connected to global stability, so uh any
[00:26:41] disruption in key supply roots can create riple
[00:26:43] effects that reach consumers thousands of miles away. okay, so
[00:26:47] therefore the doesn't matter any. yes, therefore, as you've been highlighting,
[00:26:51] the numbers reveal the human cost behind economic
[00:26:55] headlines. many thanks to Hiba Murad for joining us. stay
[00:27:07] In the world of American late night television, political
[00:27:11] satire has become a powerful tool for challenging leaders
[00:27:15] and questioning official narratives. Jimmy Fallen is an
[00:27:18] American comedian, television host and the presenter the tonight
[00:27:22] show starring Jimmy Fallen, where political figures, especially
[00:27:26] Donald Trump have frequently become subjects of comedy,
[00:27:30] astensions over the war on Iran. and continues, late night
[00:27:34] house have turned Trump's own statements into material
[00:27:38] for satire and criticism.
[00:27:43] decided to back off in his fight against the Islamic Republic of Iran
[00:27:46] or as he calls it, the Islamic Republic of
[00:27:50] Japan. Yeah,
[00:27:54] it happened after he met with his military advisors a high level
[00:27:57] too, or is he put it, a high level too,
[00:28:01] although it's fading. going to fade fast, he he's trapped
[00:28:05] himself a complicated foreign war, just like many of our American
[00:28:08] ancestors, or as he calls them, our American
[00:28:12] answers, but Trump promised that he
[00:28:15] won't give up, and across the world he'll make freedom roar, or as he
[00:28:19] put it, make freedom
[00:28:21] raw,
[00:28:27] anyway, Trump is flailing and he needs help, he might as well ask himself, what
[00:28:31] was Saudi Arabia and... do or he put it, Saudi Arabia and
[00:28:35] Russia,
[00:28:40] I hope that help. Ladies
[00:28:44] and gentlemen, with that we conclude our expose for tonight right here on Press TV, until
[00:28:47] next week, question, the headline, trace the source and never surrender your
[00:28:51] judgment.
[00:29:11] قرار الوقوف الى جانب اخواننا في غزه هو
[00:29:15] قرار قياده وقرار ايضا
[00:29:17] شعبي اكبر خطا وقع
[00:29:21] فيه التحالف اولا استخدام اساليب الرعب
[00:29:25] والتهديد.
[00:29:36] وهنا استطاعت التجربه اليمنيه من خلال مراكمه الخبره ومع وجود الاراده
[00:29:40] ومع وجود المشروع التحروي ان تخلق اللا شيء
[00:29:44] شيء.
[00:30:12] This our stop headlines: the Yemani armed forces say they have
[00:30:16] carried out strikes on Saudi back troops in the Marib province of

[00:30:28] people their legitimate rights following a Saudi Turkish Pakistan
[00:30:31] defense.
[00:30:32] back signed in
[00:30:33] Mecca,
[00:30:37] and finally Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson has hit back at
[00:30:40] Trump's claim of taking Iran oil saying, before you claim the spoils
[00:30:44] of war, you have to win the
[00:30:46] war.
