Venezuela was just hit by one of the worst, not just one, but two of the worst earthquakes in a century. At least 164 people are now dead and 971 are injured. The death toll went up quickly from an initial account of 32 dead and 700 injured at first and officials fear thousands more could be dead. Experts say this was a double earthquake event. This means that two major earthquakes hit one right after the other. The first quake was measured at a magnitude of 7.1 to 7.2 and struck deep underground. And just 45 seconds later, a massive 7.5 magnitude quake hit much closer to the surface. The center of the disaster was near the coastal city of [ __ ] Um, now about 100 miles west from the capital city of Karacas. The violent shaking was felt by millions of people causing massive landslides and triggering tsunami warnings along the coast. In Karacas, four buildings fell, collapsed in the uh Shaka neighborhood and several others collapsed in the sand. um San Bernardino district along the northern coast of um Laguia I think it's called Laguaria Laguay Laguera Laguera fishermen watched massive clouds of dust bury the shorelines buildings crumbled and broken gas lines sparked fires and at the whole international airport by the way in Muitta um I don't know how to pronounce this name I'm sorry about this I think it's Muia or Mwashia or Mquitia the power was cut off and The terminals obviously shook violently. The acting president of Venezuela, Deli Rodriguez, has declared a state of emergency and sent search and rescue teams to the hardest hit areas. Rescue workers and search dogs are now looking for survivors under the broken concrete. Little kids are coming out from there. It's so it's so sad to watch. Workers can hear the voices of trapped people calling and crying from underneath the debris. It's terrible. President Trump expressed his condolences and he said he wrote in truth social he said the USA stands ready and willing and able to help. I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly and we will be there for our new and great friends. The state department is preparing to send search and rescue teams and medical aid to work with uh the temporary Venezuelan government and this is where the US and Iran seem to agree. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson is Bagay also said that they are willing to help. In a statement, he announced Iran's readiness to provide any assistance required in relief and rescue operations and expressed solidarity with the government and people of Venezuela. Interesting. Iran, huh, shaky times. Israel's Zaka emergency response organization also preparing teams to rescue people from the rubble. So far, they have not received information about victims among the country's small Jewish community. Fellow rescue organizations, Israel aid also said, and they're very experienced in these in these situations, also said it was urgently responding to the unfolding disaster. Now, you can bet that former Venezuelan President Nicholas Madura and his wife are thankful to be in the US prison right now. No earthquakes there, just really bad food and earthquakey toilets. Yeah, sad times. Anyway, US President Donald J. Trump defended his plan to stop some of the financial punishments against Iran, financial punishments, sanctions. Trump said that Iran promised not to charge extra fees or insurance money to ships passing through the straight of Hermuz. But the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy said that ships can only pass through if they ask permission verse. They spread their warning to all passing vessels, all passing ships over the radio. Listen to this. >> Attention all vessels. Attention all vessels. Attention all vessels in Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. This is SEA Navy warning. Transiting in the straight of foremost is only possible with sepa navy permission and on designated route. If any vessels attempt to transit in the straight without our permission or AIS off or outside of the designated route is responsible for any consequences of any danger. This is 780 out. >> Unbelievable. After what Trump said that the street of is open, huh? If ships sail there without permission, Iran said, and they said it clearly clearly that they would not take responsibility for any consequences. And what they mean with that, you all know what this means. Obviously, they said they would attack and they also warned that they would stop cleaning up their underwater bombs. Aside from this, they rejected a temporary shipping route announced by Oman's capital, Muscat. This happened less than 48 hours after Iranian officials Muhammad Ba Galibah, the speaker of the parliament, and Abasaraki, who's the foreign minister, visited Oman. Iran made this threat while thousands of people gathered in the capital city of Tehran for a major religious day called Ashura. And this was the first huge religious gathering gathering in Iran since their top leader Ali Hamayi was killed in the war on Shabu. On the other hand, Iranian speaker Muhammad Bear Galbah rejected Trump's proposal of buying crops from America. He said, quote, "America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture." Interesting. The only crop we're we're harvesting is what you he says what the US planted decades of mistrust. It's organic, abundant, and homegrown. He says, but he made a joke obviously, but apparently the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises, and trash talks. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Bahrain today to meet to meet with King Had bin Issa al- Khalifa. During a press conference in Manama City, he said several statements concerning the Middle East. Let's go over them one by one. First, he said that the US wants the agreement with Iran to work. He said that they will do everything it can to make that happen, but it will not, excuse me, settle for a deal at any price. He knows what they're dealing with and said the Iranian regime is still led by extremist clerics. And this is this has always been the case, he says, and it continues to be so today. Part of the deal is leaving the straight of open. He said that there is zero support from the Gulf countries for tolls and fees for using the straight. Even Oman has said that it does not support a tolling a tolling system. So it's a lies what the Iranians say any other words. In addition, Rubio said that the US did not discuss a reconstruction fund like the $300 billion fund that we all talk about with Iran. It was never discussed with any other Gulf countries. Last week, Trump claimed that if there will be a such a fund, the $300 billion fund, the US will not contribute a single scent. Ruby also talked about Europe's military bases. He said that if they don't let the US use them for the war, it will affect their alliance. In fact, he said Iran is a greater threat to Europe than it is to the US. Lastly, he said, well, he's wrong because Labach said that Iran is a greater threat to America than it is to Israel. Did mention Europe anyway. Lastly, he said that anywhere threat to Europe. Lastly, he said that the US definitely wants peaceful future for Lebanon. But he talked about and said, quote, "You're not going to have peace and stability in the region as long as there are non-state actors operating within the boundaries and borders of sovereign countries and being funded by Iran." on him and he's not wrong about that. And let me tell you something. I heard a schmisse yesterday, an interview um by somebody uh called Sahar TV and he's a great he's a great uh um podcast or whatever you call it. What he does is he uncovers the truth. He you know there's the sites you can go online he can talk with random strangers and uh people like that like uh you know from terrorists. He spoke to abala supporter living in Denm in I think in the Netherlands. And the Kuzbalah supporter openly said that mission is one thing and one thing only is to kill any anyone who's from Israel, anyone who's supposed to be a soldier or was a soldier. This is their mission. He said he has nothing against Jews. But then um he said he would love to kill a thousands thousands of Jewish Israelis. So he asked him what if they're not in the in the army. He says the their belief does anyway he was very contradicting with his beliefs. the end of the conversation I took one thing out of that the whole thing that their belief is um that they have to kill that the world is not is not is not a fun place to live in they don't like living in this world they mission is to die and to die for a good cause and the good cause is to kill all the infidels and the infidels are ones who don't believe in Islam and is there not for peace if there's peace they say they go and they destroy the peace they don't want peace with anyone they just want to kill they want to end anyone who doesn't agree with their beliefs this is what believes in anyway let's talk about halo cuz I believe in one thing. I believe in water that is healthy for you. A pH level 9 plus helps your liver. It gives you the enzymes. It gives you anything you everything you need to be able to fight all these viruses and potential um you know unwanted um individuals entering your body. And you know in the summer it's a good thing to hydrate. But hydrate with high high pH water. It's water at the end of the day. If you want water you buy you buy anyway bottle of water. Same water you can find any grocery store any any store has a even um Halo 2. Halo 2 is available everywhere. It's a nice bottle. It's got a nice white big white label with blue nice um you know um letters branding Halo 2 with a little two at the end. Halo O2. You get it idea? Um great water. Wonderful water. Tastes great, but it's also healthy. It's healthy because it protects your body from all the unwanted criminals entering your temple. All right, let's continue. Both Israeli military and Lebanese officials are denying a claim made by the United States today. Now, what happened? The US State Department official claimed that Israel pulled its troops out of a buffer zone in southern Lebanon as a sign of goodwill. But military officials from both sides say that is not true and Israeli troops are still fully deployed in the area. This disagreement comes while negotiators from both sides are meeting in Washington. They are reportedly close to a deal to set up pilot zones. But before the meeting began, um somebody named Charbel Jabur or Jabar, a Lebanese Christian politician, gave a warning. He said that the terrorist group must be disarmed before Israel withdraws any troops. In Iran, the commander of the Cuds force issued a threat. He announced that Israel will be forced to leave tomorrow if they do not leave on their own today. But Israeli Defense Minister Israel Kat said that their military has destroyed the first line of Lebanese villages inside the security zone. He also made it very clear that Lebanese civilians are not being allowed back into those areas. Now, even with the disagreements, the US Central Command head Admiral Brad Cooper traveled to Israel. He is bringing a new plan to watch for anyone breaking the peace deal. To do this, he will work together with the Lebanese army. Now, moving to Gaza. Israeli soldiers caught another kamas member trying to sneak up to the border. The terrorist was unarmed when he approached the Keram Shalom border. So, the soldiers immediately caught him and took him in for further questioning. We don't know the rest of the story. An unarmed Israeli soldier was rescued by police in Judea and Samaria in Yon on Wednesday night. The West Bank Palestinian authority security forces first responded and reported seeing a man in an Israeli military uniform handcuffed in the middle of the town of um Tarcomia. Jude Sam police quickly went into the town and brought the soldier to safety at a police station in Kvang. The soldier lives in s in southern Israel and was unarmed during this incident. The military police and national crime investigators are investigating and handling the case right now. Officials say they believe the incident was purely criminal and was not a nationalistic terror attack. Israel forces uncovered a terror tunnel near Urusim. The tunnel was found near the Azim, the Azim checkpoint just outside of Israelim. It was dug from the inside Palestinian Authority territory now heading toward Israel. It went down at about 80 ft. They uncovered the police say it was dug recently and they believe it was meant for terror attacks and for smuggling people into Jerusalem into Israel. Inside they found digging tools, gloves, even face masks and water bottles fresh. Using DNA from those from the scene, police arrested two men in their 30s. One from the Arab village of um Al Aira, sorry, Azaria Aaria and about 2 milesi from Shalim and one from Eastern Jerusalem. How terrible, huh? Okay, let's talk about the next story, shall we? An Israeli military reserveist was killed and another soldier was injured in southern Lebanon. Their military fuel tanker rolled over accidentally. The military identified the soldier who died as 32-year-old um Basil Swed from the northern Drews Arab town of um um Pakan. He served as a driver in the 75th battalion of the 70th uh the seventh armored brigade. A new political poll in Israel shows rising support for the right-wing parties. If elections were held today, the rule the ruling liquid party, which is Netanyahu, would have 24 seats. This would make them the largest in the Knesset and possibly possibly the winner. The rival Yashar party is close behind with between 20 and 22 seats or at the same time supporting is support is falling for the Bayad alliance you remember from Napali Bennett which is currently expected to win only 15 seats so they're losing kind of following the massive protests about the Gary former chief rabbi of Yusf released an audio message he strongly criticized the government for arresting 48 ish Baharim United Judaism leader gnov said that this his party will demand real guarantees in any future government talks. Now this is um he no longer believes in the promises of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu who promised he said he will protect the yeshiva baharim. Following the massive protests the Israeli tax authority is preparing a plan to strip taxexempt statuses from karedi nonprofit organizations. This is terrible. The plan targets organizations that fund yeshivas whose students do not go into the army. Officials say this move could cost yeshiva tens of millions of dollars in Manhattan. Right now, the Karan Almatra held a major dinner led by Raila. This event marked the end of a 3-week trip that raised tens of millions of dollars to support the yeshivas in Israel. And they want to punish them by taxing them. Unbelievable how far they can go. Turkish President Taan said that Trump may soon be um have a one-on-one meeting with him in Turkey. This announcement comes after Trump said yes to selling war plananes. um engines, sorry, war engines, um plane engines to Turkey. One of these could be the F-35 program as well. The particular the particular plane is very special, the F-35. Why? Because it combines stealth sensor fusion and undetectable weapons. Instead of just fighting, the F-35 gathers large amounts of battlefield data. Then it shares that data with other aircrafts like and ships and ground forces. Even though the sale is under review, President Trump has ordered a close check on the plane um deal just to make sure Turkey follows all of America's legal rules. Vice President JD Vance also said that they are looking into how Turkey can get these jets. In other words, if they are eligible even to get these jets. Trump also said that the that Erdogan is a is a very good friend and he will attend the meeting as a sign of respect. He also shared that he stopped Erdogan from joining the war on Iran's side because he would take they will take a wrong side. In an interview in in one of the interviews a reporter asked if the war plananes could be Trump's gift bag when he arrives. He replied, "I think so." Yeah. The answer is yes.

So why even bother with others when you can go to YS Capital Group and get your loan for an investment? YS Capital Group 718312168. US President Donald J. Trump won a major victory in the Senate after a dramatic political turnaround. Yesterday reported Republicans su um how they voted the to limit his um war powers act against Iran. Remember that they successfully rejected a Democratic plan to limit his war powers. Obviously the final vote ended at a 50 to 47. This was a huge change from just the day before when four Republicans voted with the Democrats. They had passed a plan to stop Trump's military powers by a vote of 50 to 48. President Trump was very angry about that first vote and he publicly called those senators unpre unpatriotic showoffs. The anger quickly spread to a private lunch for Republican senators yesterday. During that lunch, Trump got into a loud shouting match with them. Senator Bill Cassidy answered Trump. He complained that the White House is keeping secrets is keeping the senators in dark about the military moves, the military um plans and options. Trump told Cassidy to sit down and reminded him that he just lost his primary election. To fix the embarrassing setback, the White House started a quick campaign. They wanted to change the minds of senators before the final vote. As part of this, Vice President JD Vance gave Cassidy a highly detailed private talk about the war to answer his worries and it worked. Senator Bill Cassidy changed his vote to a no. On the other hand, Senator um Ran Paul changed his vote to president after um taking after talking directly with President Trump. Paul decided to give the administration a stronger hand to work out a peace deal. By changing those two votes, the administration successfully killed the plan and flipped the final score to 50 to 47 in Trump's favor. This move instantly turned the president's public anger into a victory celebration. President Trump celebrated the win obviously on Truth Social and he wrote the following with a clear warning to Iran. on and truth social. He wrote, "Wow, the Senate just changed the vote on Iran from 50 to 48 against 50 to 47 for Rand Paul and and Bill Cassidy changed. Thank you to leader John Thun, Lindsey Graham, and Bernie Moreno." And and to all, this vote puts Iran on notice on a warning. In other words, to keep the war going, the Trump administration asked Congress for $87.6 billion in emergency money. budget director um Russ Vow said the sent a letter to the house speaker Mike Johnson explaining that this money is needed for urgent military and security costs. $67 billion of that will go to the department of war. The rest is set for American farmers and a fight for a dangerous uh sickness obviously as you all know called Ebola which is right now spreading in central Africa. But Senator um Patty Mor, the lead Democrat on the money committee, says she will not h just hand over the cash without looking into every single detail first. At first time, at the same time, excuse me, President Trump is facing push back from a group of Republican senators who want to follow old Senate rules instead of doing what the president wants. Now, senators who are leaving office soon, like Mitch McConnell and Tom Phyllis, are right now refusing to help Trump end the filibuster. filibuster is a rule that lets senators block votes, right? Senate Majority Leader John Thun told the president directly that he simply does not have the votes to get rid of this rule. President Trump is also trying to get rid of the blue slips rule, which lets senators block judges picked for their home states. The political fight just slowed down the process of of of appointing leaders, including delay of Jay Clayton. This bill left um PE, who is right now serving as the temporary chief of intelligence, in his position. Meanwhile, a federal judge has blocked major parts of President Trump's new voting rules. The judge threw out a rule that would have forced voters to show proof that they are citizens before even registering to vote. In response, President Trump blocked a housing bill that both political parties had agreed on, and it was ready for his signature, but he didn't want to sign it. The president says he will not sign it until Congress passes the Save America Act law to require proof of citizenship for voters. President Trump officially kicked off the America 250 celebration on National Mall in Washington DC. The event starts as a series of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States. President Trump turned the official event into a campaign style rally comparing his own political movement to the American Revolution. A kickoff opened and the the great the great American state fair which includes massive rides exhibits from different states. The celebration also featured a flyover by B2 stealth bomber jets which he loves doing. New York City's Mam Dani is urging the US to model its immigration approach to an Islamic Gall. The story of the Hijra reminds us that Prophet Muhammad wasallam was a stranger too who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina. Surah Nah 16:42 tells us, "As for those who immigrated in the cause of Allah after being persecuted, we will surely bless them with a good home in this world." Or as the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange. >> This is not coming from Iran or from uh you know Iraq or any of these places. It's coming from New York City, your home where most of you live, some of you. Exactly. In a speech he said quote as for those who immigrated in the cause of Allah after wali after being persecuted we'll surely bless uh we will surely bless them with a good home. Arrive express will surely bless you with a good taxi ride if you book them today on 8456221111 or if you call palm tree department in Monroe KJ Palm Tree now 8452541111. That's the arrive express. And is angry angrily accusing NATO of helping the United States and Israel in the war against Iran. This comes after NATO's chief Mark Route admitted on Fox News that allies have been helping with the war. Route said that the country after country country after country has made their bases available for Operation Epic Fury, the American military operation in Iran. For those who don't remember, he revealed that 500 US planes took off from American bases in Italy to support this operation. He also said that Romania cut down on commercial flights so their airports could be used for refueling tankers. Route made these comments after President Donald J. Trump told him yesterday that he was let down by NATO allies who didn't want to back the war. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Ismael Beay, condemned the countries those those comments on social media. Obviously, he called it he called it a clear admission of NATO helping in what he called an unlawful war. Italy quickly distanced itself from the whole entire thing commentary. The Italian Defense Ministry said that the message was misleading and that only allowed tech they only allow technical and logistical flights under old agreements. The French Navy stopped a Russian oil ship on Tuesday in the Mediterranean Sea right off the coast of Sicilia. The ship is named the Deliver, but it was flying the flag of Cameroon to hide who really owned it. It is part of Russia's hidden fleet of ships, which they used to get around global rules. This ship was traveling from the Russian city of um Primorsque to Singapore when it was stopped. After the military stopped it, French President Manuel McAllen spoke out. He said, "We will not allow the shadow fleet to evade sanctions and fund Russia's war effort." Switzerland is starting talks to buy a new anti-missile system because Europe is getting more and more dangerous. They have been waiting for Americanmade Patriot systems, but the delivery has been delayed. Because of the delay, Switzerland is now talking to Israel, France, and South Korea to buy systems they need. Swiss leaders are specifically looking at David Sling, which is a missile defense system made by Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Defense System. Don't you remember not too long ago, Switzerland refused the sale of major weapons to Israel and now obviously they want Israel's help. IBM has just announced a massive breakthrough in the race to build faster artificial intelligence. The company said that it can now create microchips that are smaller than one single nanometer. Actually, it's 0.7 nanome small. Smaller than your fingernail, smaller than smaller than a single molecule. Our fingernails also grow one nanometer per second. Now, so with tiny this tiny size, IBM says they can now pack nearly 100 billion transistors or electrical signal signal signaling devices onto one single fingernail. That is double the transistors of their previous advanced chips. The secret behind this breakthrough is a new design IBM calls nano stack. Instead of laying the transistors flat, engineers are now stacking them directly on top of each other in three dimensions to save space. The new design is expected to deliver deliver up to 50% higher performance or 70% better energy efficiency following the announcement. IBM stock went up.
