00:00:00satire are shaping the conversation around
00:00:04war, the economy and these in power. we
00:00:07investigate claims of political profiteering, analyze how
00:00:11conflicting narratives are presented on television screens
00:00:14of and explore how social media users are holding leaders
00:00:18accountable by revisiting their own words through
00:00:21the sharp lens of late night satire from the
00:00:25tonight show
00:00:26of starring
00:00:27of jimmy fallen, we uncover the stories behind the... lines and the voices
00:00:31challenging them. welcome to season two of expose the award winning
00:00:34show that leaves no stone on
00:00:36turned.
00:00:43as the conflict in west Asia widens television networks are
00:00:47increasingly shaping
00:00:48of public perceptions through the language they choose and the narratives
00:00:52they promote. tonight we examine how major broadcasters frame the latest
00:00:56US and saudi military operations and whether. actual facts were
00:01:00emitted in the process, here are the
00:01:03of headlines: CBS Joe's criticism for its portrayal of casualties in
00:01:07Iraq and its
00:01:08a framing of regional armed
00:01:10of groups. Al-Jazera examines Saudi Arabia's military role as
00:01:14of analyst warn Riyad has entered a far more dangerous
00:01:17strategic
00:01:18landscape.
00:01:26As tensions continue to escalate across West Asia, media cover.
00:01:30has become just as consequential as military developments
00:01:34themselves. this week we examine how television networks frame a
00:01:38widening conflicts involving the United States, Saudi Arabia, Iraq
00:01:42and Iran,
00:01:42and whether the language they choose shapes public understanding more than the
00:01:46facts themselves. joining me our broadcast media expert
00:01:50Fuad Itayim and welcome back
00:01:53Fuad, thank you, thank you. Saudi Arabia's
00:01:56direct
00:01:58in military involvement alongside the US has opened this dangerous
00:02:02new chapter of violence and retaliation across the entire
00:02:06region and so we begin with the CBS news report today entitled
00:02:09latest on Iran War as Saudi forces join US
00:02:13strikes, so watch closely how the presenter's wording blurs these
00:02:16crucial uh distinctions while the guest inadvertently exposes
00:02:20the weaknesses
00:02:21of the official narrative, so let's take a
00:02:23look. welcome back
00:02:27to CBS News 24/7 Prime Time, I'm Juliet. Goodrich, today Iran
00:02:31launched a barrage of missiles at American forces in the Middle East, this as
00:02:35the U.S. and Saudis strike Tehran backed militias in
00:02:38Iraq, and then take a look at the aftermath
00:02:41of the air strikes, buildings and cars were left destroyed by the
00:02:45US and Saudi strike on Tehron-backed militias in Iraq.
00:02:49At least 20 fighters were
00:02:50of killed and 32 others wounded in these overnight strikes. So I
00:02:54want to bring
00:02:55of in retired US Navy vice admiral Robert Murritt to talk more about
00:02:59of this. Robert, thanks for joining us, was it risk for Saudi
00:03:03Arabia to join the war?
00:03:07of Julie, I would say that
00:03:08it is, they've been largely kept out of things with the
00:03:12focus on the other gulf states up until this point, and we can communicating very
00:03:15regularly with the Iranians, between the Saudi
00:03:19me
00:03:19of Arabia of and the Iranians to try to stay about the Fred to some
00:03:23degree, that's kind of changed both in terms
00:03:25of the attacks on the Iranian serogate forces inside
00:03:29Iraq. but also with
00:03:33of their attacks on the hoothies over the past weeks because of concerns that the saudis have about all their facilities on the
00:03:37red.
00:03:41actually for the repeated description of those killed
00:03:45as Iranian backed militia
00:03:47of strips away important context. do you agree? exactly and among
00:03:51those killed were actually pilgrims gathered ahead
00:03:54of the arb pilgrimage which is the world's largest annual
00:03:58religious pilgrimage. commemorating imam
00:04:01hussein bn ali alaihi salam, so at least 20 million
00:04:05shas attend every year, including three and six million
00:04:08Iranian citizens and so making the presence of Iranian nationals they are
00:04:12not so
00:04:14of surprising of and presenting every casualty through this purely military
00:04:17lens is really misrepresenting the reality on the ground. okay,
00:04:21ironically the retired
00:04:23of admiral also acknowledged that Saudi Arabia had maintained communication with
00:04:27Iran and actually was trying to avoid direct confrontation,
00:04:30which contradicts the simplified narrative that's been presented in the
00:04:34report, yeah, that's that's right, so it
00:04:37of brings of us to our second clip which comes from aljazira
00:04:41of english, titled why did Saudi Arabia join US strikes on Iraq, and
00:04:45what are the risks, so although the discussion is more
00:04:48of nuanced, it's still largely adopting this US strategic framing as
00:04:52vocalized by al jazeras Osama bin Javid
00:04:55who is discussing the latest developments, let's
00:04:59watch. Now a warning
00:05:03from President Trump following strikes a US airbase
00:05:06in Jordan and for
00:05:07of Iranian advisors that were killed
00:05:09of in the US Saudi strikes in Iraq. Assam Javed joins us
00:05:13here in Doha, the operative words there, US Saudi
00:05:17uh, joint strike. This is new thing for Saudi Arabia,
00:05:21where's the strategy here? Well, Saudi Arabia has been uh
00:05:24reluctantly involved in this war because the number of attacks that you've
00:05:28seen on Saudi territory, especially targeting US
00:05:31aircraft, US advisors as well as us hardware that
00:05:35is based in Saudi Arabia, so the Saudies have according to many sources
00:05:39closer to the Saudis, have been... has been very difficult
00:05:43to get them to not attack Iran in retaliation, this was
00:05:47the perfect opportunity after such a long time of waiting and
00:05:51patience, especially when this attack happened in jazan where
00:05:54this Saudi refinery of Aramku was hit and was put out of commission,
00:05:58the hoothis on one hand claimed that they were attacking it and the saudis
00:06:02actually tracked these drones coming from Iraqi territory and then
00:06:06they had to show action, and that is why you're seeing not just in one
00:06:10place, you're seeing across seven provinces. more than 20
00:06:13targets hit in these retaliatory strikes by the Saudis and the
00:06:17Americans and what is interesting here is that it is not just the
00:06:20PMF, the popular mobilization forces, not qaib hizbullah, it
00:06:24is also Iranian advisors who were target, so that just goes to show that there is
00:06:28level of intel that the Americans and the Saudis have within Iraq, and they
00:06:32wanted to perhaps show a message to the Iraqi militias that if you get
00:06:36involved, you'll be hit and you'll be hit hard, but there is danger here for
00:06:39Saudi Arabia, because the US is desperate. to get allies
00:06:43involved in this war because it gives them backing, it gives them a
00:06:47cover, but there's a danger here of escalation because the Iranians
00:06:51may will figure that, actually we can keep doing this in
00:06:54Iraq and it'll be just there, and at some point you've got
00:06:58to widen it out, or do you, but the the problem with this war
00:07:02is that it is regional while not being regional, the Saudies, the
00:07:06Amanis, the Qataris, the Emirates, they have not really
00:07:10all out gone against Iran, they have... not attacked Iran directly,
00:07:14but the the bases and airspaces which have been used by US
00:07:18forces and hence the Iranian retaliation, so the Saudi strategy
00:07:22is to try and contain it, they you've seen them time and again with the
00:07:25various partners, the Qataries, the Pakistanis, get involved in the back channel
00:07:29diplomacy, but the danger, as you said, is not just for Saudi
00:07:33itself, it is for oil exports from the entire region, because it is not just the
00:07:37state of hermus which remains choked and
00:07:39blocked, so actually one point deserves
00:07:43particular scrutiny, so the discussion portrays Saudi Arabia as
00:07:47showing extraordinary restraint despite hosting foreign
00:07:51military facilities that are being used to launch operations against other
00:07:54states, neighboring states and regional states like Iran and
00:07:58Iraq and Yemen, so under international law
00:08:02when these kinds of attacks are launched from the territory of one state toward
00:08:06another, the territory may become part the military operation, it's only
00:08:09natural, I mean whether or one agrees with retaliation or
00:08:13not, active participation changes legal and strategic
00:08:17calculation. Saudi Arabia has now moved away from hosting military
00:08:20infrastructure to directly participating in the strikes,
00:08:23significantly increasing the risks it faces, and this is something we saw during the 40-day
00:08:27war as well and now in Yemen. For sure, and narratives
00:08:31often shape perceptions before audiences can examine
00:08:35the facts for themselves, so many thanks to FAD and for their
00:08:38insights. Stay with us, dear viewers for more on Nexusain.
00:08:48From accusations of political profitteering and questions over ethics
00:08:52in the holds of power to growing concerns among American
00:08:56households over inflation energy prices and the economic
00:09:00consequences of scalating conflicts abroad. Mainstream media
00:09:04continues to examine the gap between official narratives and public
00:09:08reality. Tonight we look at how major outlets are reporting on
00:09:11the finance. interest surrounding political figures and the economic
00:09:15pressures facing ordinary Americans. Here are the
00:09:19headlines: MS now, Donald Trump Junior's business dealings
00:09:23raise fresh questions over presidential ethics,
00:09:26PBS News, rising gas prices and
00:09:29economic uncertainty, fuel, renewed
00:09:32concerns for American
00:09:34taxpayers.
00:09:42Economy. pressure, rising cost and questions over
00:09:45political accountability have become central issues for
00:09:49millions of Americans, tonight we examine how mainstream media
00:09:53outlets are covering allegations of political profitteering and
00:09:57the growing public concern over the economic
00:10:00consequences the escalating conflict with
00:10:03Iran. Joining media viewers are digital media expert
00:10:07Sima Itayim and analyst Fuad Itaim. hello and welcome both of you. We
00:10:11start with you Sema, thank you for. so US taxpayers are increasingly feeling the
00:10:15pressure of a struggling economy and what many have been describing
00:10:18as unnecessary war of choice against Iran that
00:10:22has added yet another layer of financial. so we begin with an article from
00:10:26ms now that is titled nobody's cashing in on the presidency quite like
00:10:30Donald Trump Jr. written by Paul Waldman so Waldman basically is focusing on
00:10:34how in his view when it comes to pursuing tax payer
00:10:38money and corruption and ethical concerns
00:10:41Trump Junior has reached this level unlike any other
00:10:45presid presidential relative before him so he writes that
00:10:49Don Jr has cemented his position as one the most ethically
00:10:53controversial presidential. family members while his father is
00:10:57still in office, so the article goes, in
00:11:01his second term, Trump had a realization, when it came to pursuing his own
00:11:04business interest while president, I found out that nobody cared, he told the New
00:11:08York Times earlier this year, so now he'll make money wherever he
00:11:12can, and there is no shortage of companies, billionaires and foreign
00:11:15government. Dawn Jr. wasn't just going to sit
00:11:19by and watch dad have all the fun, so he has undertaken his own
00:11:23frienzy of dealmaking, all of it. seemingly based on the fact that he's the
00:11:27president's son. some the enterprises are joint ventures with the whole
00:11:30family. there's world liberty financial, crypto company that has been the
00:11:34vehicle for some the biggest players looking to give payoffs to the trumps and to
00:11:38get something in return. as investigative report revealed, the United
00:11:42Arab Emirates National Security Advisor secretly invested half billion dollars
00:11:46in the company. so under US law government officials are restricted
00:11:50from using public office for private financial game. the
00:11:54constitution's
00:11:54foreign in imalliments clause actually and
00:11:58federal ethics law prohibit these certain forms
00:12:02of financial benefits from foreign interest that could create these kinds
00:12:05of conflicts of interest. okay, yeah, the controversy
00:12:09highlights this broader debate in Washington over whether existing ethics
00:12:13rules are strong enough when presidents and their families maintain
00:12:17extensive private business networks while holding public
00:12:20office, as is the case with Trump? for sure, because well
00:12:24trans transparency becomes even more important when
00:12:28decisions made, as um was highlighting, in
00:12:32government have economic consequences, not for one or
00:12:35two,
00:12:36for millions. yeah, this is exactly true, and the second story actually
00:12:40that we have comes from PBS News, it's entitled American's confidence in US
00:12:44economy falls again as the Iran conflict sends gas prices higher by
00:12:48matt, so this article explains that economic confidence
00:12:51declined steadily as fighting escalated. and the
00:12:55energy markets reacted continuously, so it states as
00:12:59fighting in the middle east escalated, the average price for a gallon of gas
00:13:03in the US started to rise again, on Tuesday, it was
00:13:06$4.10, according to the Auto Club AA. After being
00:13:10attacked by the US and Israel in late February, Iran shut down the straight of
00:13:13Hormus, through which about one fifth the world's oil travels, causing a
00:13:17spike in gas prices. That accelerated inflation, causing American's
00:13:21inflation adjusted incomes to decline.
00:13:25so the article also adds that the unemployment rate declined to
00:13:29a low 4.2% from 4.3% in May, though the drop
00:13:33mostly occurred because many people out of work gave up looking and were
00:13:37no longer counted as unemployed, so the article also notes
00:13:41actually that official economic figures can sometimes present only part
00:13:44the big picture,
00:13:46you know, they're not revealing everything with critics arguing that selective this
00:13:50kind of cherry picking of statistics and omitting certain
00:13:54data can... hide the real impact that is felt by ordinary households,
00:13:58and we've been seeing this omission, ultimately economic confidence is
00:14:01shaped not only by government numbers, but by what people experience every single
00:14:05day, from fuel prices to uh purchasing power and all these things.
00:14:09okay, therefore, for od the gap actually between official
00:14:13narratives and public experience remains a major political
00:14:17battleground. many thanks to you sama on these beautiful articles and to you
00:14:21also for.
00:14:28Political speeches no longer disappeared after the applause
00:14:32ends, across social media archived videos, public records
00:14:36and viral comparison are allowing millions to
00:14:39sunonize politicians promises against their actions, fueling
00:14:43increasingly vocal debate over accountability. Here are the
00:14:46headlines. Trump's
00:14:50passed medicare planch resurfaces as Americans question his
00:14:53changing priorities. luxury spending, crypto allegations and
00:14:57the rising cost of living dominate this week's political
00:15:01conversation
00:15:02online.
00:15:10social media has once again become the arena where
00:15:14political promises are revisited, compared and challenged
00:15:18in real time. this week, american users on x are
00:15:22questioning president Donald Trump's rhetoric on health.
00:15:25government spending and personal wealth, as many argue that
00:15:29ordinary citizens continue to shoulder rising economic
00:15:32burdens. joining me again are social media
00:15:35experts, and analyst hello and welcome
00:15:39back, see we begin with you, thank you for, so us
00:15:43netizens say that they're no longer judging trump by his campaign
00:15:47speeches, actually, but by comparing his own words over time, like before versus
00:15:50after, so let's begin with how his position on, for
00:15:54instance, medicare appears to have dramatically
00:15:57changed over time,
00:16:00so fact post trump in
00:16:022024, we are going to protect our great
00:16:06seniors and i will never that anyone touch your Medicare, so let's
00:16:10quickly watch that together. We're going to protect
00:16:13our great seniors, and I will never let anyone touch your
00:16:17Medicare or your social
00:16:19security. So campaign
00:16:23promises often become political liabilities when
00:16:26archived clips resurface and invite all these direct comparisons with
00:16:30later policy positions. Yeah, so now the very same account highlights Trump's more
00:16:34recent remarks, drawing actually sharp critic'.
00:16:432026
00:16:45Trump were in fighting wars, it's not possible for us to take care of medicare,
00:16:49daycare, medicaid, all these things, this is the no more wars man
00:16:52also, so let's take a look at the
00:16:54video, because the united states can't
00:16:58take care of daycare, that has to be up to a
00:17:01state, we can't take care of day, we're a big country, we have
00:17:0550 states, we have all these other people. fighting wars, we can't
00:17:09take care of daycare, you got to let a state take care of daycare, and they
00:17:13should pay for it too, they should pay, they have to raise their
00:17:16taxes, but they should pay for it, and we could lower our taxes a little bit
00:17:20to them to make up, but we it's not possible for us to take care of
00:17:24daycare, medicaid, medicare, all these
00:17:27individual things, they can do it a state basis, you can't do it
00:17:31a federal, we have to take care of one thing, military
00:17:35protection,
00:17:38the contrast between these two clips seima
00:17:41explains clearly why this comparison has spread
00:17:45so widely across social media platforms and our
00:17:49next post actually shifts from healthcare which we just saw to presidential
00:17:52spending and because users online have been
00:17:55criticizing what they have been describing as
00:17:58misplaced priorities actually during difficult economic times so the
00:18:02patriotic blonde yeah breck warsham so trump
00:18:06reveals that
00:18:07to white have house has ordered 250 new catalact escalades for the
00:18:11presidential motor cade. Our guys are very spoiled, they like the
00:18:14escalades, so do I. Americans can't afford food or gas and he's literally
00:18:18laughing in our face. So here's Trump bragging. Let's take a look at this
00:18:22video. Right here in Michigan, General Motors
00:18:26is expanding operations its factory
00:18:30zero.
00:18:30Do you know what factory zero is? What the hell does that mean? Mary factory so you're
00:18:35to going in Detroit to produce some them. America's most iconic
00:18:39vehicles, including the Chevy, well I hear
00:18:42it's good, silverado, right? Silverado, really hot,
00:18:46right? It's going to be hotter after today, the
00:18:50GMC Sierra, the world famous hummer, I got to look
00:18:54at some these, in fact I said to Mary, how about send a
00:18:57couple, and one and only
00:19:01the Escalade, you ordered, I think 250 escalades,
00:19:04right, we ordered 250 escalades.
00:19:11"That's so we look sharp in those cavalcades, we
00:19:15look sharp in those escalades, our guys are very spoiled, they're very spoiled,
00:19:19they like the escalades, so do I, they were great to deal with general motors, they
00:19:23make it literally 250 them, and it was about
00:19:26time, so for lot of critics,
00:19:30this symbolism matters and these wild displays of luxury can
00:19:34quickly become politically damaging when infl'. and household
00:19:38costs are dominating public concerns, especially during this
00:19:42unnecessary war that Trump has burdened the American people
00:19:45with, yeah, and this actually brings us to our final post that focuses
00:19:49on allegations of financial misconduct with the critics
00:19:53online arguing that personal enrichment has become
00:19:56inseparable from public office,
00:19:59so headquarters says senator chris van holler, this
00:20:03is hq news now, we know this is the most corrupt administration
00:20:07in america. in history, what I think not all
00:20:10Americans appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the lion's share the corruption
00:20:14coming out the Trump white house. Trump has increased his net worth by $2.2
00:20:18billion dollars last year alone, 2.2 billion while Americans are struggling to
00:20:22make ends meat, and more than half of that, 1.4 billion of those
00:20:26profits come from cryptoscams. So let's take a
00:20:29look. We know this
00:20:33is the most corrupt administration in American
00:20:36history. What I think not all Americans
00:20:39appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the
00:20:43lion share the corruption coming out the
00:20:47Trump White House. So Senator Blumen. Paul
00:20:50said, President Trump has increased his net
00:20:54worth by $2.2 billion dollars last
00:20:58year alone, $2.2 billion dollars
00:21:02while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and more than
00:21:06half of that, 1.4 billion of
00:21:09those profits come from crypto
00:21:12scams. Senator Blumentall mentioned one
00:21:16the major ones, which was this Trump meme coin.
00:21:20"that individual we heard who got
00:21:23scammed was one of almost
00:21:271 million Americans who were taken
00:21:30advantage of by Donald Trump, in fact about 1
00:21:34million Americans lost $3.8
00:21:37billion dollars their money to the
00:21:41Trump Memecoin
00:21:43scam, so this
00:21:47proves that social media doesn't..." simply just react to political
00:21:51events anymore, it preserves a permanent public record, it's become like an
00:21:55archive, yes, and it's very important to highlight, fuad that to
00:21:59whether these criticisms translate into lasting political
00:22:03consequences remains to be seen, but they clearly
00:22:06demonstrate how social media continues to preserve, amplify and
00:22:10scrutinize the words and actions of those in power. many
00:22:14thanks again to uh for joining us,
00:22:18stay with us, dear viewers for more on
00:22:20was
00:22:27there. behind every geopolitical crisis lies set of
00:22:30numbers that reveal its real impact on people's daily lives.
00:22:34tonight we examine the financial consequences of rising
00:22:38energy costs in the United States as global markets react to
00:22:42growing instability. here are the headlines. oil surpasses
00:22:46$100 per barrel as straight of hormones disruption.
00:22:50push US fuel cost higher, billions
00:22:54and extra household expenses, fuel economic anxiety as
00:22:57inflation and consumer confidence takes a
00:23:00hit.
00:23:07Energy prices are often among the first indicators of how geopolitical
00:23:11conflicts affect ordinary people. As us wars in west asia
00:23:15continues to disrupt global markets, Americans on the other hand,
00:23:19American. consumers are now facing higher fuel costts, rising
00:23:22inflation pressures and growing concerns about the economy
00:23:26consequences of prolonged instability. joining me
00:23:30are senior researcher hiba murad and analyst sim, welcome both, we
00:23:34begin with you hiba. thank you farah, the numbers tell a story that
00:23:38goes beyond headlines. yes, the war Trump started with Iran has
00:23:42triggered major energy shock, pushing crude oil
00:23:46prices above $100 per barrel, and
00:23:50gasoline gasoline uh prices across the United States
00:23:53sharply higher. now according to market data, the
00:23:57national average price for regular gasoline reached between
00:24:01$4.06 and $4.11 per
00:24:04gallon in late july 2026. now
00:24:08CNBC's fuel market analysis reported the following: the
00:24:11national average price at the pump was
00:24:14$4.06 a gallon on Wednesday
00:24:18up 4.4% from $3.89 a week
00:24:21ago, according to aa. now the economic economic
00:24:25impact has been like really significant. a brown
00:24:29university study estimated that American consumers have
00:24:32spent additional 41 billion
00:24:36dollars on fuel since the crisis began uh with the
00:24:40average household absorbing between $316 and
00:24:43$450 in extra energy costs. which is very high
00:24:47number. and you know these figures that you are sharing. they're
00:24:50demonstrating how foreign policy decisions can very quickly translate
00:24:54into domestic economic pressures, so for families dealing for example
00:24:58with the higher living cost, even a small increase at the gas
00:25:02pond can have major impact, can change everything and can be felt
00:25:06exactly, see man, the disruption here is not only about
00:25:09gasoline, according to the sources, the straight of hormo is one
00:25:13the world's most important energy corridors has
00:25:17also seen shipping disruptions effect. saying around
00:25:2020% of global oil and liquified natural gas
00:25:24supplies, that's major, analysts estimate that
00:25:27approximately 500 million barrels of crude oil have been
00:25:31removed from global circulation since the crisis began, can you imagine these
00:25:35pressures at one point also hiba appear to be affecting public
00:25:39confidence correct as well, very correct, the AP consumer
00:25:42confidence index dropped to 90.8 in
00:25:46July, now reflecting growing concerns as Energy
00:25:50costs continue to rise. Meanwhile, Farah, the Bureau of Labor
00:25:54Statistics recorded inflation climbing to
00:25:563.8% as energy prices searched. Okay, so
00:26:00this shows that the economic consequences. of war are not limited just to
00:26:04governments or to markets because they're reaching and spilling
00:26:07directly over into households, and this is affecting
00:26:10transportation, it's affecting food prices and everyday
00:26:14purchasing power as a whole, and when citizens actually
00:26:18feel those pressures, and as we have seen throughout the history,
00:26:22economic issues often become political issues on the long term,
00:26:26absolutely, absolutely, the broader lesson for the from these figures is
00:26:30that energy security remains. deeply connected to global
00:26:34stability, so any disruption in key supply roots
00:26:38can create ripple effects that reach consumers thousands of
00:26:41miles away. okay, so therefore the system doesn't matter, yes, therefore, as
00:26:45you've been highlighting, the numbers reveal the human cost behind
00:26:49economic headlines. many thanks to for joining
00:26:53us, stay with us, dear viewers for more on
00:26:55expos.
00:27:02In the world of American Late Night Television, political
