00:00:00Saudi allegation became a western war
00:00:02narrative, BBC, how war
00:00:06propaganda ends of billing American and European
00:00:09households.
00:00:17From the weaponization of a disputed claim about
00:00:20of Mecca to the economic shock
00:00:22of now reaching households far beyond West Asia. Today's headlines
00:00:25reveal how war, propaganda and economic consequences are becoming in.
00:00:30of increasingly difficult to separate, to
00:00:32in unpack the narratives behind them, we welcome broadcast media
00:00:35expert for analyst,
00:00:38welcome, thank you far, so today we're beginning with the mecca story,
00:00:42Saudi Arabia claimed the drone was intercepted south
00:00:45of the holy city and has linked it to the ansar allah movement, but
00:00:49of Ansar Allah has categorically rejected and denied this claim,
00:00:53western media however has rapidly amplified the most explosive version of this
00:00:57claim, the bigger story was Yemen's. escalating retaliatory
00:01:01pressure on Saudi Arabia, its military and energy
00:01:04infrastructure, including the disruption of its oil export capacities and
00:01:08its routes destruction of facilities, so why would
00:01:12Ansad Allah deliberately target Islam's holiest site when Saudi militarian
00:01:16economic assets are the actual
00:01:18of strategic pressure points and within its reach? exactly, so a video titled
00:01:22Middle East Escalation, regional powers await US response after Iranian
00:01:25attack. Fox News takes that Saudi allegation and places it at
00:01:30center of its coverage, framing it as part of this broader Iranian escalation,
00:01:34so let's take a look at that
00:01:39of report. Saudi Arabia is fighting off attacks by
00:01:42of Iran-backed hooti
00:01:42of rebels. Muslim nations are condemming attempted
00:01:45of drone attack on Mecca, assault the Saudis call
00:01:49a red line for the
00:01:51of kingdom. This comes as Iranian attacks continue to threaten energy production and
00:01:55of distribution. Chief foreign correspondent Trey Yenks reports tonight from Tel
00:01:59Aviv. Tonight, the Middle East wait
00:02:02to see how the United States will respond to fresh Iranian escalation
00:02:06this week. Days ago, a
00:02:08of US contracted vessel was hit during an Iranian missile and drone
00:02:11attack, two sources told Fox News. The incident occurred around the
00:02:15straight of hormous and caused minor injuries, including smoke
00:02:18inhalation. Some US personnel were on board, though the identities
00:02:22of the injured are unclear. It is the latest
00:02:25in a series of exchanges of
00:02:26of fire, bringing into question what comes next in the Iraq.
00:02:30conflict, despite the fact that we did accomplish a substantial
00:02:33destruction, not just
00:02:35of their nuclear program, but also
00:02:36of the Iranian conventional military, becomes a television headline, attempted drone
00:02:40attack on Mecca is presented without giving viewers any necessary
00:02:44distinction between a Saudi claim and independently established fact, yeah and you
00:02:48know the the actually the the fact is that once language is repeated by major
00:02:51broadcasters in that way and echoed by political figures, the emotional impact does the
00:02:55rest, so this is how they weaponize this idea of
00:02:58you know - Mecca and and use weaponizing Islam, to
00:03:02to to do uh, Mecca becomes the center
00:03:06of the story, enraging people, and the military and the economic
00:03:09failures surrounding Saudi Arabia receive far less
00:03:13attention, that's
00:03:14the other words, the question is not only what happened,
00:03:18but two things, what the audience is being actually encouraged to
00:03:22focus on, and what is being pushed out
00:03:24of the frame, so now watch what happens when we move from propaganda to the
00:03:28of economic consequences. the war and a video titled US hikes
00:03:32interest rates as fears grow of global oil shock over Iran
00:03:35of war, the BBC documents rising energy prices, inflation and borrowing
00:03:39costs as disruption in the Middle East reverberates through global markets. So
00:03:43let's take a look at this BBC report. The conflict
00:03:47a in the Middle East is intensifying the pressure on the global
00:03:50economy. The US Central Bank has today raised interest
00:03:54rates for the first time in more than three years to try to curb
00:03:58stubbornly rising prices. "the move comes despite President
00:04:02Trump repeatedly calling for lower interest rates. Here, the Prime
00:04:05Minister has admitted that next month's budget will be challenging after
00:04:09inflation rose from 2.9% to 3.1%, its
00:04:12highest level in five months. The rise was driven largely by
00:04:16the increases in fuel costs. We'll talk to our North America editor Sarah
00:04:20Smith
00:04:21in a moment, but first his
00:04:22in Dashini
00:04:24of David. Counting the cost on an Essex for
00:04:28court of a war in Iran with..." has disrupted production and
00:04:32in cut of fuel refining capacity, it's unlikely to lead to a cost
00:04:35of living shock on the scale
00:04:37of the ones seen just after Russia
00:04:39of invaded Ukraine, still the rising price of filling up
00:04:43has far-reaching consequences for buyers and
00:04:47sellers. It's cost me around 70 pounds to fill up, which
00:04:51is making traveling to and from work quite difficult at the moment. When the
00:04:55price goes up, we we have to go up with it, there's there's no way around it,
00:04:59the margins here.
00:05:00"a a wafer thin on fuel, inflation may have
00:05:04risen, but it's been more muted than many had feared since the
00:05:07start
00:05:08of the Iran war, however we may have reached a turn."
00:05:12point, economists are now braced for it to top 4% in the
00:05:16new year as oil and gas prices research, but there's much
00:05:20uncertainty: energy bills are set for another rise,
00:05:24food prices could also increase more quickly, that's been
00:05:28quite muted inflation there, just over 1% so far,
00:05:32but retailers may opt to pass on more their higher
00:05:35costs. higher inflation tends to mean higher interest rates
00:05:39and markets are braced for that and part the reason why we've
00:05:43seen this, the return on the bonds the government uses to borrow
00:05:47increasing, which means higher borrowing costs, which spells a headache
00:05:51for the chancellor, and suddenly the
00:05:55consequences are no longer abstract geopolitics, higher
00:05:58energy costs are feeding into transportation, into food
00:06:02prices, household bills and borrowing, so you know
00:06:06the people paying the price, as always our ordinary families, far from the
00:06:10battlefield, yeah, exactly, and the economic... chain is basically straightforward,
00:06:14energy disruption raises costs, inflationary pressure increases and
00:06:18governments and central banks face much more difficult choices, the coming
00:06:21winter could make this pressure even more tangible for households
00:06:25across America and particularly Europe. exactly, I mean to very different
00:06:29stories, yet they expose the same problems, wars fought to uh
00:06:33wars fought in west Asia do not remain confined to west Asia,
00:06:37they reshape the information people consume and increasingly the
00:06:41bills they have to... pay for Adam, thank you both, thank you very
00:06:45much.
00:06:52from axius exposing secret us zionist arab military
00:06:55gathering in Germany to the Jerusalem post, reporting
00:06:59Israeli entity intelligence assistant to Saudi Arabia, the
00:07:03western digital press is putting a spotlight on regional security ties that
00:07:07Riyad has long preferred to keep in the shadows. Here are the
00:07:10headlines. exposes secret us Israeli entity
00:07:14Arab war coordination in Germany, Jerusalem post
00:07:18reveals Israeli entity intelligence assistance to Saudi
00:07:22Arabia.
00:07:29From the war in Gaza to the escalating confrontation with Yemen
00:07:33and Iran, new regional alignment is becoming increasingly
00:07:37visible not only on the battlefield but in the meetings and
00:07:41security cooperation. being openly reported by
00:07:44western media to examine what these reports reveal, we welcome back,
00:07:48digital media experts, analyst fuad, welcome
00:07:52back, sema, thank you farah, so what's actually particularly
00:07:56striking in western media this week is this attention that's being
00:07:59given to this meeting in Germany that's bringing together uh
00:08:03US and design state of Israel and several arab states so on paper
00:08:07it was security conference but the participants actually and the
00:08:11issues discussed raise much bigger questions about where this
00:08:15alignment could leads, first against yemensar allah and potentially
00:08:19against Iran as well, so the first report comes from none other than
00:08:22axios and even the headline tells us how significant this
00:08:26meeting is being presented, scoop,
00:08:29us, israeli and arab military chiefs held secret
00:08:33meeting on Iran by Barak Ravid, so the
00:08:37report says senior commanders from the US zianist Israel and eight
00:08:41arab countries met in Germany. to discuss the Iran war and wider regional
00:08:44tensions and then it explains basically why the meeting matters, so why it
00:08:48matters? It reads, it was rare opportunity for military
00:08:52commanders from Israel and Arab gulf countries that don't have diplomatic relations with
00:08:56Israel to meet and exchange views on the war, and then Axus
00:09:00identifies who was inside the room, inside the room. In addition to Cooper, the
00:09:04meeting was attended by the military chiefs of staff of Israel, Saudi
00:09:07Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and
00:09:11Egypt. Cooper. reassured the group that the US military would not
00:09:15withdraw its forces from the region despite Iranian attacks on US
00:09:19basis. he also briefed his colleagues on the US plan for expanding ship
00:09:23traffic in the straight of hormos. an Israeli official said Israel defense
00:09:26forces chief of staff, el zamir briefed the other
00:09:30participants on IDF operations on various fronts. sentcom confirmed the
00:09:34meeting saying a statement that it hosted senior military leaders from eight
00:09:38nations during a scheduled conference in Germany. the leaders discussed
00:09:41opportunities. for enhancing security
00:09:45co cooperation in the middle east sounds very friendly when you say it like that and this is
00:09:48hardly new pattern uh the significance lies though in the openness that we're
00:09:52seeing Saudi Arabia and Israel have long had security contacts and
00:09:56coordination but now western media is focusing on it and documenting
00:10:00senior military coordination of course while Gaza remains under catastrophic
00:10:03conditions yeah and it also raises at one point and very
00:10:07uncomfortable question for leaders such as muhammad bin
00:10:10Salman and Egypt's government and mean, how long can they present
00:10:14themselves as defenders of Palestinians uh or Palestinian
00:10:18rights, where their security commanders or security establishment sits
00:10:22close to Zionist military uh leadership. Yeah, especially
00:10:25in the context of what's happening between Saudi and Yemen,
00:10:28and Saudi reports that Saudi is asking help from
00:10:32Israel, yes, and the second report, actually that we have for today makes that contradiction
00:10:35even harder to conceal, so the Jerusalem post, the the Hebrew sister
00:10:39publication of Mariv, reported Israel
00:10:42provided Saudi Arabia with Intel assistance as huthi attacks on
00:10:46Riyad's assets continue by Amistein and Amir,
00:10:50so the article states the security situation has raised
00:10:54significant concerns. not only among the Saudis, but also among other
00:10:57countries in the region, according to security sources. The
00:11:01concern is based a scenario in which the US reaches understandings with
00:11:04Iran and the Hutis, leaving Saudi Arabia and other countries to face unresolved
00:11:08threats in the forceeable future while remaining exposed to continued attacks, and
00:11:12then the article adds, the IDF has already demonstrated requests for
00:11:16assistance, was likely focused on Intel support to build a
00:11:20broader picture of Huti military deployments in the area and identify
00:11:24potential plans for. future operations, the sources said, yeah, so the
00:11:27carefully maintained image of distance between Riyadh and Tel Aviv is
00:11:31becoming much more difficult to sustain, the Jerusalem post, as you
00:11:35said, itself, is reporting sendcom mediated talks and Israeli entity
00:11:39intelligence assistance to Saudi Arabia, which by the way dates back to the very start the
00:11:43war on Yemen, yeah, but in light of what's happening now we see it emerge,
00:11:47light of what's happening now we see it emerge in the media, and when cooperation that was
00:11:51once whispered about is now being reported in headlines, the question...
00:11:55isn't really anymore, whether regional security coordination exists or
00:11:59not, but what it's being ultim organized to confront and what is the
00:12:03extent of it, not whether it exist, and the picture actually emerging
00:12:07from these reports is clear, us Israely entity and Arab military
00:12:10coordination is becoming more visible while Yemen and Iran
00:12:13increasingly sit at the center the strategic calculations, see
00:12:17mytainment food, thank you. Thank
00:12:19you.
00:12:27From award, the Trump administration claims to have
00:12:30won to trillions more demanded to keep it going, from
00:12:34accusations of deception over the economy to growing fury
00:12:38over Washington's unwavering alignment with Zionist Israel
00:12:42this week. The official narrative is facing some very
00:12:45uncomfortable questions. Here are the headlines:
00:12:49Trump declares victory while demanding 1.5
00:12:53trillion more for war. from blaming
00:12:57Biden to defending zionist Israel, the narratives colliding with
00:13:01reality,
00:13:09from the price of war to the price at the pump and from
00:13:12questions over US military spending to growing criticism of
00:13:16Washington's relationship with Zinous Israel, Americans on social
00:13:20media are increasingly challenging the narratives coming up from the Trump
00:13:24administration. to take us through the post, fueling the
00:13:27backlash, we welcome back, social media experm and analyst
00:13:31for adm, welcome back both of you, thank you so much, thank you, so
00:13:35social media users are certainly not holding back when it comes to the trump administration
00:13:39across x, because americans are increasingly challenging this official
00:13:43narrative, particularly when they see billions and now trillions actually
00:13:47being committed to wars while the administration says everything is under
00:13:50control, nothing's nothing's wrong, so let's look at some the
00:13:54posts - that anger so the first post actually highlights this
00:13:57remarkable exchange which involves senator Kurston, Gilly
00:14:01Brand and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and it's
00:14:04focusing on the enormous cost of war and the contradiction
00:14:08between claiming victory while asking Congress for
00:14:11more money, so GBC breaking gant to Pete Hegg says, so
00:14:15you're literally asking for $1.5 trillion dollars for a war that president Trump
00:14:19said he already won, and by the way guys in the first two weeks he said he'd won it,
00:14:23and the video attached to that... captures the exchange itself, so let's
00:14:27watch that. unpopular and
00:14:31unauthorized war abroad is a higher priority to this
00:14:35administration than their ability to feed their families
00:14:38and provide healthcare to their loved ones who are
00:14:41sick. well senator, you're talking
00:14:45about political tradeoffs and our job is
00:14:47to to deliver for the united states military
00:14:49in the president the united states and
00:14:50we we look at the cost of nuclear Iran and we want to prevent that for future
00:14:54generation. and that requires funding and supplementals and this budget and
00:14:58next generation capabilities, and that's why we're here today to request some of that to
00:15:02ensure we can ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear, so you're essentially
00:15:05saying, you're asking for literally $1.5 trillion
00:15:09dollars for a war that president Trump said he already won. you're
00:15:13asking for $1.5 trillion dollars, unlimited money for
00:15:17bombs, but insufficient money in the American for the American
00:15:20people for their healthcare, their food, their housing, and our
00:15:24farmers. Secretary
00:15:26Rollins, we have cut snap
00:15:30program, we are not funding the
00:15:32losses from emergencies that have happened
00:15:36in Blue State.
00:16:07side the political establishment, it's coming from within, questions over spending and
00:16:11accountability and the administration's claims are increasingly appearing
00:16:15inside congress itself, yep, and for ordinary American
00:16:18taxpayer, the obvious question, and also Seima highlighted
00:16:22that, if the war has already been won, then why another
00:16:261.5 trillion is being requested here, yeah, exactly, exactly,
00:16:30and the second post actually goes even further, claiming that Republican Congressman
00:16:33Thomas Massy publicly read articles of impeachment.
00:16:37against defense secretary Pete Hegsat, so here is how the post presented
00:16:41it, Ed Krassenstein, breaking Republican
00:16:44Congressman, Thomas Massy just read articles of impeachment against
00:16:48Secretary
00:16:52of impeaching Peter Brian Hegsath, secretary of defense
00:16:56for high crimes and misdemeaners, resolved that Peter Brian
00:17:00Hegsath, secretary of defense, also referred to as Secretary of War by
00:17:04the administration, is impeached for high crimes and demeaners,
00:17:08and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the
00:17:11United States Senate: articles of impeachment exhibited by the
00:17:15House of Representatives the United States of America, in the name of itself
00:17:19and the people the United States of America, against Peter, Brian
00:17:23Hegsath, Secretary of Defense, in maintenance and support of
00:17:27its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeaners.
00:17:30Article one, waging war in contravention the War Powers
00:17:33Resolution of 1973, section 2C.
00:17:39so whatever one's political position, the spectacle of law makers in congress
00:17:43publicly challenging senior members their own administration shows just how
00:17:47contentious these issues have become, and social media is amplifying
00:17:51also every confrontation, turning congressional disputes
00:17:55and to much broader public argument over
00:17:58whether um over where American foreign policy is heading
00:18:02and who ultimately at the end the day pays for it, yes
00:18:06now this next post actually focuses on secretary of state Marco Rubio
00:18:10showing an angry confrontation in which he's accused of being subservient to
00:18:14the zinast state of Israel so Israel exposed on x
00:18:18breaking you're a criminal I know you can hear us with your big ears your
00:18:21subservient to Israel you'll never be president. Rubio didn't know how to
00:18:25respond so he walked away looking extremely upset so let's
00:18:29watch that confrontation war criminal you
00:18:32should
00:18:33be ashaming yourself criminal you can hear us with your big ass hears you are a war criminal.
00:18:37and you should be tried at the hague, you should be disgusting with yourself, all of
00:18:41your collaborators are disgusting, and it's unacceptable what you're doing to the
00:18:45American people, shamed of
00:18:48yourself, whether it's Cuba, whether it's Lebanon, whether it's
00:18:52you are a criminal, you should be in
00:18:55jail, you are shit, why are
00:18:58you harming
00:18:59the cuban people, you are shit,
00:19:02a complete shit,
00:19:06you never be president,
00:19:19So yet another example of how criticism of US policy
00:19:23towards Zionist Israel is spilling beyond traditional political debate and
00:19:27into the streets and social media platforms. Yeah, and finally, we
00:19:31have a post challenging treasury secretary Scott Vessent over
00:19:35claims about gas prices and the...
00:19:38invocation of former president joe biden,
00:19:42so sarah bellis, scott bessent lies again and blames joe
00:19:45biden for gas prices, surprise mofo, this isn't fox
00:19:49news, rep, what's the statute of limitations on the joe
00:19:53biden blame game? did joe biden wage the war in Iran by any chance?
00:19:57let's look at that video, when
00:20:01when does can ask what's the statute of limitations on the joe biden blame
00:20:04game? what's what's the
00:20:07buse we're approaching? two-year mark the trump administration, i was a car accident as a teenager, my
00:20:11b did did joe biden wage the warn iran did he disrupt the
00:20:14straight of homose, did he shut down 1/5th the world's oil supply and lng
00:20:18exports, like when in deal blink joe biden is that the motus operanda of this
00:20:22administration,
00:20:27the last question cuts directly into frustration,
00:20:31increasingly visible online, how along can every
00:20:34economic or foreign policy? problem continue to be
00:20:38attributed to the previous administration before taking
00:20:41more decisions, yeah, if it's up to them, they'll keep doing it, but this is
00:20:45ultimately what makes the post that we've discussed today important, because beyond the
00:20:49insults... actually in the political theater, which is only the spectacle aspect of it, people
00:20:53are demanding evidence genuinely and accountability, they're demanding
00:20:57answers about decisions that are being made in their name in fact and paid
00:21:00for with their money, so exactly
00:21:04and thank you both for joining us and that wraps
00:21:08up our look at the social uh media
00:21:11store.
00:21:19pipeline downs attacks on energy and military infrastructure
00:21:22and the loss of strategically important positions along
00:21:26Yemen's red sea coast are turning the Saudi Yemen
00:21:29confrontation into a battle measured in
00:21:33billions, barrels and territory and the numbers tell a
00:21:36story. Riyad would rather keep out the spotlight. Here
00:21:40are the headlines. Saudi billions at risk
00:21:44as Yemen targets oil infrastructure and strategic positions
00:21:48from Macca to the... east west
00:21:51pipeline. The numbers reveal the cost of Saudi Arabia's
00:21:55war in
00:21:55Yemen.
00:22:02When the battlefield is measured not only in territory but in oil
00:22:06infrastructure, strategic waterways and military positions, the
00:22:10numbers begin telling very different story about Saudi Arabia's
00:22:13confrontation with Yemen. To break down those figures and
00:22:17what they reveal. We welcome senior.
00:22:23you, welcome
00:22:23thank you
00:22:24both of farah, in just weeks the escalation in Yemen has
00:22:28exposed serious vulnerabilities in the Saudi Lad
00:22:31camp. Ansarulah's advance along the red sea
00:22:35coast has included the capture of Macca and the
00:22:38strategic island of Mayun, according to sources, bringing the group
00:22:42closer to the Babel Mendib and putting Saudi Arabia's
00:22:46alternative maritime routines under great, great pressure. so
00:22:50basically while it presents itself as this regional military power, its own
00:22:53strategic geography is increasingly being used against it,
00:22:57exactly, sama, and then we also have the economic dimension
00:23:01here, Saudi Arabia shut its 1,200 km
00:23:04east-west pipeline after attacks in the
00:23:08Riyadh and the Madina regions, now the pipeline had become
00:23:12particularly important because it can carry
00:23:16roughly four to five million barrels of crude per day towards
00:23:20the red sea and by that providing an alternative to the straight of
00:23:23hormos, so therefore infrastructure actually project designed
00:23:27to protect Saudi experts from a maritime choke point
00:23:31is itself now vulnerable to any attack, any moment?
00:23:35yes, and the pressure did not just stop there. Saudi
00:23:39Arabia reported attacks affecting abha, khamis
00:23:43mushait, Jizan and Najran with 73 soldiers
00:23:47reportedly wounded on September 8th. now so... Saudi Arabia has
00:23:50also faced reported strikes on energy
00:23:54facilities, while Ansarulah has claimed attacks aramco
00:23:57facilities in Yemen, and Nyambu, sorry, and the Khames Mush
00:24:01military airbase. Actually, this brings us to the strategic question, which is why
00:24:05is Riyad increasingly looking toward outside powers for
00:24:09assistance? Yes, that's because the battlefield has exposed
00:24:13vulnerability that money and advanced weapons have
00:24:16not necessarily solved anything. Saudi Arabia. has now faced
00:24:20territorial pressure inside Yemen, threats to its energy,
00:24:24infrastructure and disruption the red sea route, and when
00:24:28Washington has become reluctant to open another
00:24:31direct front, Riyad has reportedly sought Israeli enemy
00:24:35intelligence, okay, and that's quite reversal uum for a kingdom that
00:24:39has spend years and years presenting itself at
00:24:43the dominant military power on the Arabian
00:24:46peninsula, that's really shocking, yes and "you know the
00:24:50figures tell the story, the tax reaching saudi energy and military sites,
00:24:54and these are not simply battlefield incidents, now they represent
00:24:58pressure on the very infrastructure underpinning Saudi regional
00:25:02power. Okay, so those numbers certainly put the
00:25:06Saudi Yemen confrontation into a very different
00:25:08perspective. Thank you. Thank
00:25:11you,
00:25:18throughout history, leaders obsessed. with their own image have used
00:25:21monuments, statues and grand displays to immortalize
00:25:24themselves, but what happens when that political vanity takes
00:25:28on distinctly american scale? professor Putin,
00:25:32a history educator known for his short form
00:25:36historical and political analysis, takes a satirical
00:25:39look at Trump's fascination with self-glorification,
00:25:43asking what kind of leader builds monuments to
00:25:47himself and whether Trump is taking that... tradition
00:25:50even further. Here is the video by professor
00:25:53Putin. What kind of a leader builds
00:25:57a monument to himself? Professor Putin
00:26:00here. Time for mysteries Histories. This should really come as no surprise, but
00:26:04dictators and authoritarians and absolute monarchs do this.
00:26:08In stable democracies, leaders wait for history to
00:26:12judge their legacy. There's been countless historical examples of this, like
00:26:16Saddam Hussein built a 40-foot statue of himself in Baghdad.
00:26:19Stalin in the Soviet Union and Hitler in Germany placed countless portraits themselves
00:26:23across the nation in schools and in homes and Fernand Marcos in the
00:26:27Philippines even had a giant likeness of himself carved into a
00:26:30mountainside, but as I said, there has never been a
00:26:34leader a democratic western society ever who has
00:26:38erected monuments to himself until
00:26:42now. Did you guess who it is? I have you said
00:26:45Donald Trump, you're so smart, give your brain a kiss. Trump has
00:26:49shattered this historical truism. There's the plans for the 250-f triumphal arch
00:26:53near Arlington National Cemetery, which Trump has said he has building for
00:26:57himself. He installed a bronze sculpture of himself in the oval office,
00:27:01raising his fist. pennsylvania, he installed a 15-foot
00:27:05golden statue of himself at his golf club, miami where you can find the
00:27:08maga faithful praying, and there are plans in his presidential library for two
00:27:11massive golden statues of Trump, and host republicans are
00:27:15founding over themselves to help anoint the dear leader with proposed bills to
00:27:19establish such things as the Donald Trump peace prize uh to put his name on the
00:27:23Kennedy center again to replace flag day with Trump's birthday to rename
00:27:26dullis international airport after Trump and even a bunkers plan to carve his
00:27:30face into Mount Rushmore. "this is not what
00:27:33democracies do 1999, and
00:27:36Trump is no one else than Mandela, despite his constant
00:27:40claims on the Nobel Peace Prize, so why is he building these monuments
00:27:44to himself? an amazing self-owned, and one the
00:27:48few times when I remember him speaking the truth, Trump has said he is building these
00:27:52monuments because quote, nobody will do it once I'm gone once I leave
00:27:56here, no one's going to build monument to me," and quote.
00:28:00You see, he can tell the truth. Consider yourself
00:28:03updated. Ladies and gentlemen, with that
00:28:07we conclude our expose for tonight right here on Press TV. Until next week, question the
00:28:11headline, trace the source and never surrender your
00:28:13judgment.
00:30:06The Soures top headlines: Iran says it remains determined to defend
00:30:10its national interest and prevent the US from exploiting the straight of horm to
00:30:14threaten the country.
