00:00:00actually that the sequence began with the US attacking Iranian positions on larak
00:00:03island and which was followed by Iranian retaliation and
00:00:07a followed by then another US retaliation so even CNN's own
00:00:10reporting is contradicting the simplistic framing of Iran as
00:00:14the initiator okay which makes the headline particularly
00:00:18revealing uh sema i mean the um audiences or audience
00:00:22sees Iran attacks Jordan as Fuad is highlighting
00:00:26Bahrain and Kuwait but the report itself describes
00:00:29of the cycle triggered by a US attack, the contact is buried
00:00:33of beneath the
00:00:34a headline in the story, and this is actually miraculously how
00:00:38propaganda can continue to operate without inventing facts, so you selectively
00:00:41frame them, the words that are spoken during the report tell one story, but the
00:00:45headline its own is priming viewers to absorb another, even if
00:00:49you're presenting them with reality, which is let's say the US initiated, yes,
00:00:53sailors arrive after 200 days at
00:00:55me sea, so the story reports that
00:00:57of thai authorities basically prepared additional patrols. and conducted
00:01:01of raids ahead
00:01:01of the USS Abraham Lincoln's arrival in Pataya, detaining
00:01:0540 to 50 people over suspected prostitution, so let's watch
00:01:09that.
00:01:26of
00:01:33of
00:01:44of
00:01:52You no, it's actually ironic that uh, it's just ironic,
00:01:56like foreign city preparing and police patrols, because thous...
00:02:00of US sailors are arriving after more than 200 days at
00:02:04s yes, mean indeed,
00:02:06من when a military visit requires authorities to prefer specifically for
00:02:10a prostitution crackdown, it raises uncomfortable
00:02:13question about the conduct and reputation
00:02:16accompanying America's global military footprint which they're
00:02:20very proud of. yeah, mean this dates back a long time, but perhaps this is another
00:02:24measure of
00:02:25you know further imperial decline, not
00:02:28of simply losing influence abroad, but increasingly exporting the
00:02:31social and moral baggage and decay of an overstretched military
00:02:35presence. okay, so from distorted headlines
00:02:38a about who started a war to the extraordinary precautions surrounding a
00:02:42military port visit. today's stories show how media narratives
00:02:46and military culture can reveal far more than their headlines
00:03:00from resignations at the army's highest levels to explosive revelations of
00:03:04military descent over the war against the Islamic Republic of
00:03:07Iran. Cracks are widening across the Trump administration's national
00:03:11security establishment. Here are the headlines. The
00:03:14army in turmoil Hexeth clashes trigger resignation at
00:03:18the top pentagon in uproor. Classified leak
00:03:22exposes military descend over Iran
00:03:25war.
00:03:32As storm wire deepens inside the Trump administration, new
00:03:36reports are raising serious questions about leadership, military
00:03:39command and growing descent over the war against Iran.
00:03:52to be taking a turn for the worst in the Trump
00:03:54a administration with the Army secretary Daniel P. Drisco,
00:03:58handing in his resignation and simultaneously the pentagon is
00:04:01erupting over this classified leak exposing military descent
00:04:05over the war on Iran. So let's begin with the New York Times with this
00:04:09article that they've published titled army secretary resigns after clashes with
00:04:13hexeth over firings by Helen Cooper and Greg Jav
00:04:16so this title alone tells us that disagreements have actually reached the
00:04:20highest
00:04:20of levels in I've actually reached the highest levels
00:04:23of in a long time so the article reports army
00:04:26secretary Daniel P. Drisel the services Top Civilian
00:04:31Who clushed repeatedly with defense secretary Pete Hegset over the Auster of a
00:04:34swath of key combat tested leaders handed in his
00:04:38resignation on Monday according to administration officials, so the resignation comes amid
00:04:42a series of
00:04:43of firings and feudes that have left the army essentially rutterless as it struggles to deal with
00:04:47the threat posed by cheap, deadly drones and missiles that have pounded
00:04:51US bases in the middle east, so the article
00:04:54of continues: the army has not had a
00:04:56of chief of staff, the services top officer since Mr. fired.
00:05:00Randy George without explanation back in April, and there are no signs that
00:05:04he is close to filling the position, officials said, so Heck has
00:05:07forced out at least three senior officers who had been viewed as
00:05:11potential successor. to general Randy George, and when
00:05:15senior generals is being removed, while the army lacks
00:05:18a permanent chief of stuff, this
00:05:22goes beyond an internal political dispute, actually it raises
00:05:26major question, seem about command and also about
00:05:30control a moment when American forces are facing actually two
00:05:34things, an active and expanding regional
00:05:37conflict, exactly, and you have experience commanders being pushed out, senior
00:05:41positions. vacant and strategic disagreements basically
00:05:45reaching the top the chain of command, so this is a really dangerous combination during
00:05:49wartime specifically, and the turmoil does not stop at the army, actually, so the
00:05:53hill reported also an article that was titled pentagon erupts over classified
00:05:57leak of Iran war descent that top military leaders warned
00:06:01Hekseth against extending these large scale operations as they
00:06:05call them against Iran, so the article says, the warnings appear in the August
00:06:0814 edition the Secretary of Defense Orders Book, SDOB,
00:06:12detailed by the heads the army, navy and air force and the four star commanders
00:06:16overseeing US operations throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America. It
00:06:19continues, people familiar with the classified assessment prepared for Hegs have
00:06:23told the Washington Post that several combatant commanders have advised the
00:06:27defense chief that prolonging operations against Iran is
00:06:30unsustainable and it risks weakening the US's ability to address
00:06:34threats elsewhere, including on US soil. Pentagon
00:06:38spokesperson Sean Parnel condemned the report saying publishing highly
00:06:42class fid assessments from the secretaries orders book is a crime, it's a
00:06:45betrayal the forest, and he added that the Pentagon wants candid advice and
00:06:49that disagreements are common, but if military commanders
00:06:53themselves actually are warning that prolonging this war is
00:06:56unsustainable, um, that suggests actually that this agreement
00:07:00may be far more consequential than ordinary internal
00:07:04debate, don't you agree, fd? yeah, that's right, and when descent, leadership, purges
00:07:08and classified leaks emerge simultaneously, the bigger story.
00:07:12is institutional strain and the question is whether political leadership is
00:07:16listening to its military professionals or overriding them? okay, so also
00:07:20therefore, from resignations at the top to military leaders warning
00:07:23against prolonging the war, the reports point pentagon
00:07:27under extraordinary pressure, semant
00:07:39clashes with reporters, the controversial statements on
00:07:42Israel top Trump administration officials are facing mounting
00:07:46scrutiny online over whether Washington's foreign policy is really serving
00:07:50American interest. Here are the headlines. America first
00:07:54or Zionist first. Social media takes aim at
00:07:58Trump officials Washington under fire. The
00:08:02Trump administration's Israeli entity allegiance parks
00:08:05online.
00:08:06Fury.
00:08:14"As American politicians increasingly appear to speak for Zionist
00:08:17Israel rather than the American interest, social media users
00:08:21are asking just how far this alignment can go, joining us
00:08:25to
00:08:32Thank you fadah, so neticizents have been frantic actually this past
00:08:36week over the audacious way that senior figures in the Trump
00:08:39administration are speaking about Zionist Israel and..." us policy
00:08:43with Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio
00:08:47at the center of this criticism. So let's begin with a post that's questioning the
00:08:51priorities of America's military leadership, and it's controversial actually,
00:08:55because Americans are asking whether US forces should be, serving
00:08:59US interests first, maybe, yes. So, JBC
00:09:02press wrote, Pete Hegseth exploded in
00:09:06anger at reporter who asked him why our military serves Israel for, so let's
00:09:10watch that video together. "the American people also want to
00:09:13know what they're sending their men and women to war
00:09:17for, are is there a concern of this spiraling into a
00:09:21longer war and then one for the chairman when you're done? Did you not
00:09:24hear my remarks? I mean, we're ensuring the mission gets
00:09:28accomplished, but we are very clear eye as the president has been, unlike other
00:09:32presidents uh about the foolish policies the
00:09:36past that recklessly pulled us in to things that were not tetherd
00:09:39to actual clear objectives."
00:09:54question goes directly to the heart the controversy, I mean, who exactly
00:09:58is washington accountable to, that's right, and the reaction is very significant,
00:10:01because dismissing the question doesn't make the underlying concern
00:10:04disappear, it reinforces the perception that criticism the
00:10:08US-Israeli relationship itself is becoming politically unacceptable.
00:10:12Yes, yeah, there's a reason for that. Yeah, the next post actually focuses on Rubio
00:10:16and a disputed account of how Washington became involved in the war on
00:10:20Iran, so for Americans, the controversy lies in whether their government is
00:10:24being trans transparent or not about the decisions that could send them
00:10:28to war, so Morgan J Freeman, MJ Free
00:10:31wrote, porter says, he told us yesterday that Israel was going to strike
00:10:35Iran, which is why we have to intervene, and then rubio says, that's
00:10:39not true, were you there yesterday, and then the reporter says, yes, I asked you the
00:10:43question, let's take a look at that video,
00:10:44yes, yesterday you told
00:10:48us that Israel was going to strike iran and that that's why we
00:10:52needed to get involved, today the president said that. Iran was going to get,
00:10:56yeah, your statement is false, so that's not what he, I was asked very specifically, were you there yesterday?
00:10:59yes, question, wait a
00:11:02minute, there absolutely was an imminent threat, and the imminent threat was
00:11:06that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believe they would be
00:11:09attacked, that we knew that if Iran was
00:11:13attacked, and we believe they would be
00:11:16attacked, that they would immediately come after us. No, did you, were you the one
00:11:19that cuz somebody asked a question and said, did we, you from that follow up, and I said,
00:11:23no, are you from
00:11:24that follow? and I said, no, I told you this had
00:11:27to happen anyway. The president made decision, and the decision he made was that Iran was not
00:11:31going to be allowed to hide behind its ballistic missile program, that Iran was not going to
00:11:35be allowed to hide behind its ability to conduct these attacks. That decision had been
00:11:39made. The president systematically made decision to systematically
00:11:42destroy this terroristic capability that they had, and we carried that out. I was very
00:11:46clear in that answer. This was a question of timing, of why this had to happen as a joint
00:11:50operation, not the question the
00:11:51intent. The... exchange raise
00:11:55much bigger even question that what we're trying to analyze about
00:11:59accountability, for example, when decisions involving ward
00:12:03are being challenged even publicly, exactly, and social media
00:12:07magnifies that confrontation because millions can see how officials are
00:12:11being directly questioned and judge the answers for themselves.
00:12:14yeah, definitely, and our third post actually is even more
00:12:18disturbing, presenting the statement attributed to an Israeli
00:12:21entity minister addressing soldiers before entering Gaza, because...
00:12:55לגבי תחום הציונות אנחנו מתחילים שתחילת התדריך, אנחנו היום עושים
00:12:59ציונות בהפתעה,
00:13:00אניך להתקשר עכשיו באיזשהו סר מהכנסת, עושים לו
00:13:04טלפון בהפתעה. אנחנו עושים פה ציונות בהפתעה,
00:13:08אתה שומע? יפה, יש לי פה, סתכל, חבורת
00:13:12לוחמים מדהימה, הולכת להילחם, להיכנס פה
00:13:16בשי הכוח, אני צריך 30 שניות של ציונות, יש לך על
00:13:19השעון, אני פותח השעון, 30 שניות, שר בהפתעה זה נקרא,
00:13:23אין בעיה, שומעים אותי?
00:13:55the United States itself, yes, so
00:13:59Marco Rubio officially announce is the GBC press again, that anyone who
00:14:02dares to criticize Israel will not be granted a US
00:14:06visa, by the way, this doesn't apply if you criticize the US
00:14:14Trump, the United States will stand with the Jewish
00:14:17people. We have implemented a vigorous new visa
00:14:20policy
00:14:21that will prevent foreign nationals from coming to the United States. to foment
00:14:25hatred against our Jewish community. We are holding international
00:14:29organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel that
00:14:33resurfaces in the manifesto of monsters like Aron and
00:14:36Sarah's killer. But we do see eventual light
00:14:40at the end of this long tunnel of suffering. One can imagine a middle east
00:14:44in which the Abraham accords eventually
00:14:55collectively are reflecting ever growing online argument
00:14:59over whether US foreign policy is being driven by US interests
00:15:02strictly or of course by this unwavering loyalty that we've seen
00:15:06develop over the years to zionist Israel. okay, well - social
00:15:10media continues challenging Washington's official narrative. the
00:15:14real question is whether American citizens are still being allowed to
00:15:17question the policies carried out in their name. simf.
00:15:30From missiles raining over Jordanian territory to soring coast and
00:15:33battered tourism sector. The numbers tell a story of a country.
00:15:37paying the price for hosting America's military footprint in the region.
00:15:41Here are the headlines. Jordan pays the price
00:15:45119 projectiles, 14 injured and
00:15:49economy under pressure. America's war, Jordan's
00:15:53bill, the hidden cost of hosting US
00:15:55forces.
00:16:03As Jordan absorbs the economic and security fallout the.
00:16:07sinist aggression against Iran. The numbers reveal the price of
00:16:11allowing foreign military operations to
00:16:23very striking story of a country caught between the dependence on
00:16:26Washington and the consequences of Washington's regional
00:16:30wars. Now Jordan has faced 119 missiles and
00:16:33drones launched toward its territory during the escalation with its. air
00:16:37defenses intercepting the fast majority, but interception
00:16:41does not mean there is no cost, falling debris and shrap
00:16:45have caused 14 reported injuries along with localized damage and
00:16:49disruption, military installations hosting US forces, including the
00:16:52moaf salty airbase and have become
00:16:56targets and then comes the economic price right,
00:17:00right, tourism, which accounts for nearly 15% of Jordan's
00:17:04GDP has been badly hit, fuel and gas.
00:17:07prices rose by roughly 11% after the complicated
00:17:11complications of trade and investment prospects around.
00:17:14okay, so obviously Jordan is effectively uh paying a
00:17:18price for hosting the military infrastructure that makes it part
00:17:21the conflict, and as you're highlighting emium, while it's
00:17:25economy is deteriorating according to your article.
00:17:34remains heavily dependent on Washington, receiving up to two. 2 billion
00:17:38annually in US military and economic assistance, yet when missiles
00:17:41and drones begin reaching Jordanian territory, that
00:17:45relationship does not necessarily shield ordinary Jordanians from the
00:17:49consequences and this creates a painful contradiction actually, because Jordan is still
00:17:52benefiting from the strategic relationship with Washington, but at the same time this relationship is
00:17:56exposing it to retaliation and which is connected to a war that it did not
00:18:00initiate, absolutely, and this kind of brings
00:18:04us back to the responsibility the Jordanian regime itself,
00:18:07yes right? it if it permits US forces to use Jordanian
00:18:10territory as a platform for operations against
00:18:14Iran, it also has responsibility to protect its
00:18:18population from the consequences, the public should not be expected to
00:18:22absorb the risks of American and Israeli entity regional adventures
00:18:25while receiving little protection from
00:18:28the call and the 90 119 projectiles that
00:18:32you are actually highlighting make the risk intangible medium
00:18:36because this is no longer. simply geopolitical um
00:18:40calculation taking place on maps every now and then it is reaching
00:18:43Jordanian communities affecting the economy as you previously highlighted,
00:18:47infrastructure and also livelihoods. Yes, precisely, and these figures that you're
00:18:51presenting are exposing this imbalance. Jordan is bearing the immediate security and
00:18:55economic costs, and then at the same
00:18:57time it's dependence on Washington is making it very difficult to pursue any kind of
00:19:00independent course. Exactly, so we're talking 14 injuries,
00:19:04119 incoming missiles and drones. 11% rise
00:19:08in fuel and gas prices and tourism sector representing
00:19:1215% of GDP under pressure, all point
00:19:16to a country paying the price for its strategic and uncalculated,
00:19:20and as the regional war expands, the question becomes
00:19:23whether Jordan will continue absorbing the consequences of foreign
00:19:27military presence its soil.
00:19:38and a striking conversation on the daily showed two Jewish voices
00:19:42confront the devastating transformation of power, challenging the
00:19:46familiar David and Goliath narrative in the context of
00:19:50Zianis Israel's war of genocide on
00:19:53Gaza. Peter Benart, editor at large, a Jewish
00:19:57currents, author the Benart notebook on
00:19:59Sopstack, and professor at the New Mark School of Journalism
00:20:03joins host John Stewart for a conversation that
00:20:07cuts through political
00:20:13when David becomes goliath? and
00:20:17the responsibility there, is that what troubles
00:20:20you? yeah, I mean, our responsibility is to
00:20:23remember, is to remember what was done to us, to remember
00:20:27what we would have wanted people around the world. I'm
00:20:30not saying
00:20:30that what's happening in Gaza is the equival the holocaust or anything like that, but what's happening in
00:20:34God, it may be slow, you I saw...
00:20:38an article in the Times, Brett Stevens, I think, and his argument was this can't be a
00:20:41genocide, because Israel's so strong they could kill them much quicker, right?
00:20:45And I thought, well, that's the most cynical description of a
00:20:49military... siege and a purposeful starvation that I've ever seen
00:20:53in my life, right? I mean, even Israel's leading human rights organization, Ballam has
00:20:57just come out with report saying, they believe this is genocide,
00:21:00so it seems to me, if we want to remember our history, if we
00:21:04want to honor those in our own families and of our people
00:21:08who were slaughtered and who were genocided, who were starved to death while
00:21:12nobody in the world cared, our obligation is to care, our
00:21:15obligation is to risk something,
00:21:18listen, "this
00:21:22has this has rocked my, i feel like crazy person, i
00:21:26feel like i'm watching something that is so
00:21:29self-evidently
00:21:32inhumane and horrific, and
00:21:35to be told that i have to shut up
00:21:39because i risk the Jewish state by
00:21:43speaking out, i would say the opposite, i think not,
00:21:47i think they're putting the likelihood of a survive" Jewish state
00:21:50much more at risk with this type of action, I think
00:21:54they're the ones that are that are
00:21:58being anti-if you want to,
00:22:01but with the definition of anti-semitism would probably have to bomb
00:22:42هذه حرب قاسيه كثير كثير كثير قاسيه
00:22:44بنيات يشوفوانا الدول العربيه

00:23:10our lives
00:23:11you know come and save us of course this arabs are not gonna do anything they are
00:23:15complicit aren't they think they have defense but they're
00:23:18not a military country so... They they just want to keep the status
00:23:21quo for themselves, whatever's going on around
00:23:24them.
00:30:00and reminder of our top stories the
00:30:04international atomic energy agency for referring Iran's nuclear file to
00:30:08the security council saying that the move had no legal
00:30:12basis.
