Good morning. Today is Thursday the 4th
of
Mik on edge December 18th 2025. My name
is Gershwarz and I'm your host on edge.
Now we have a lot to unpack today. Seven
suspected Islamic terrorists were
arrested at gunpoint in Sydney today
while American President Donald J. Trump
addressed the nation last night making
his case why he is the best president
America's ever had and Governor Tim
Waltz is in deep trouble while because a
Trump administration has basically urged
him to resign. AOC and Gavin Newsome are
suddenly leading JD Vance in a 2028
poll. And at the same time, Tucker
Carlson flew to Qatar, a Jew hater, to
praise Doha and Qatar and push his
anti-Israel agenda. And Charlie Kirk's
widow sat for 4 hours in a meeting with
Mrs. Owens, Candace Owens, listening to
her conspiracy theories about who is
really behind her husband's murder. Brow
University is still hunting for the
campus killer. Israel is facing Iran at
a huge new deal in Mitsry. And Putin is
preparing for another year of war, while
Zilinski is willing to make peace, but
won't give in. Rates are being cut four
times this year in America. And in the
UK, rates are being cut too to a 5.1
magnitude earthquake in Taiwan. Now,
that and a lot more. But first, do you
have an anicle, a child, a parent or any
family member or friend in Eritis? You
want to send them something right now
for Kaneka? A BKA, a plateau of hearing
or some donuts or some chocolates, you
know, from Mayor Shore, the special
ones, but you cannot reach your third
cousin once removed or fax the order to
the store owners uncle. So, I'm here to
say Benchjm.

Bench JLM. Police in Sydney say they may
have stopped a violent attack today in
Liverpool, which is not in England.
Liverpool in Sydney, Australia. In the
city's southwest, police in Sydney
arrested seven men they suspect were
getting ready for a serious Islamic
terror attack in Australia. Heavy armed
north south I was I would say NSW police
tactical sorry is north south Wales I
think. Yeah. Tactical police officers
intercepted vehicles at a George at
George Street and Campell Street.
Remember those street names because I
mentioned them during my report about
the Sydney Bondai Beach attack and they
rammed they crashed into a white
hatchback with a Victorian with
Victorian plates causing a crash then
pulled the men out and cuffed them at
gunpoint on the floor on the sidewalk.
Police say seven men were taken into
custody and are assisting with inquiries
and nearby businesses and primary
schools were briefly locked down as a
precaution. Witnesses say some of the
men look like Middle Eastern, but police
have not released identities or
confirmed backgrounds. Police say they
deployed tactical units after
information came in that a violent act
may have been imminent, but no charges
have been laid. And police say there is
no ongoing threat right now. So, some
media reports claim that men were
heading toward Bondai Beach and may have
been armed, but police have not
confirmed that and they have not said if
any weapons were found. This comes 4
days after the December 14th, 2025 Araf
of Khanekah terror attack at Bondai
beach during a Kaneka celebration event
with Kabad where a father and son
inspired by Islamic State ISIS ideology
killed 15 Yeeden 15 Kadoshim Hashem
Yinandum and injured dozens more. But
police say there's no there's no known
link between the two cases.
A big Ukraine war conversation could be
happening in Miami this weekend,
December 20th and 21st. President Trump
is sending his son-in-law Jared Kushner
and envoy his Schlik Steve Whitkov to
meet with Kiri Deitre, a close ally of
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia.
And now the Kremlin is openly confirming
Russia is getting ready for these
contacts with the United States about
Ukraine. And like we said yesterday on
edge on edge news report, Putin is
warning if KF doesn't accept the
American plan very soon, Russia will try
to grab even more land by force.
Zalinski is saying a pullback from
Donbass is not acceptable and other
reports say he's also telling people
there is no final peace deal agreed yet
and he wants real security guarantees.
Miami peace talks in other words same
humidity just different kind of
pressure. Okay, getting a backyard swing
set sounds like one of those we're doing
this ideas that turns into let's just go
to the park real fast, right? You check
your the prices, you measure your
backyard and you start doing math you
didn't agree to. I'm here to tell you,
swing it. Swing it builds real outdoor
playsets like your backyard becomes the
park, the playground. Don't wait for the
summer rush. It's never too cold for a
mia, right? And special for my onedge
people today. Swing it now offers
financing, payment plans, tashlim, a
soft credit pool. Like I said yesterday,
no hit to your credit. Simple. It's a
very fast approval. So, you stop hearing
I'm bored every 9 minutes, right? Go
back to the ad again. You'll show them
the number on the screen. And you
finally get your egg chair back for you,
not for your kids. And the kids get to
swing it, not your egg chair. Like I
said, okay, swing it. The play set. Call
18337529738.
Again, 18337529738
and say on edge to set up a payment plan
and get your kids to swing it. Four male
narotists were killed in a US strike on
a boat in the Eastern Pacific. Secretary
of War Pete Hexath says the US hit the
vessel in international waters on
Wednesday, Wednesday, December 17th,
yesterday. US Southern Command says
intelligence showed the boat was moving
along a Noah narco trafficking route and
was actively running drugs. They also
say no US forces were harmed. Other
reports say this was the 26th boat
strike in the in this campaign with at
least 99 people killed since early
September. Some say that deportations to
Venezuela have temporarily stopped until
I guess uh the fighting stops or
whatever the tension stops or calms down
in that region and they're asking Mexico
to take them in. We'll see what happens.
Okay. A top MIT fusion scientist was
shot dead inside his home near Boston
here in the United States. And now
Israel is looking into whether Iran was
behind it. Professor Noo-Noo
um Lurero was shot Monday night,
December 15th in Brooklyn, Brooklyn,
Massachusetts, and he died the next day.
A report in Israel says officials are
reviewing intelligence that points to
Tehran ordering the hit tied to his
work. But American investigators have
not named a suspect and they have not
given a motive and there is no official
US finding yet blaming Iran. Israel just
approved the biggest gas export deal gas
export deal in its history. About $35
billion worth of natural gas to going to
Mitsayim Egypt. Prime Minister Netanyahu
signed off on the export permit and the
gas would flow through 20 2040 or until
the contract value is met. Netanyahu
called it a historic milestone saying it
strengthens Israel's economy and helps
keep the region stable. The deal is tied
to gas from um Levythanfield I think
it's called withron and its partners
involved as well. And today Egypt's
state information service pushed back on
the politics saying it's purely
commercial done between private
companies. So has nothing to do with
Yeah. another huge investment in in in
Israel. Nvidia, one of the richest
companies says it's building a new major
campus up north in Kiryat Tivon near
Khifa. Nvidia has just looked at just
looked at Israel and said, "Yeah, we're
going to need a bigger office." Reports
say it's planned at about 160,000 square
meters and it could fit up to 10,000
employees. Basically, Israel's biggest
high-tech campus. And the reason is
simple. Nvidia says Israel is packed
with engineering talent. And it's and
it's already their biggest R&D center
outside of the United States. Other
reports say Nvidia is also moving ahead
with major data center expansion in
Israel as part of this bigger push.
Speaking of deals, Germany just approved
a big add-on to its A3 missile defense
system bought from Israel for about $3.1
billion more, taking the total package
to roughly $6.7 billion, Israel's
biggest defense export sale ever. Arrow
3 is the combat proven well is combat
proven many times over and it can knock
out ballistic missiles high above the
atmosphere in space. Threats from who?
Well, Germany isn't naming one a single
enemy in the contract talk, but
officials have pointed to growing fear
of Russian missile threats as a big
reason they want this system. Okay. You
could soon face criminal charges in
Israel for disturbing a public governing
public minion service or fillain stand
putting on fillain in the streets if you
disturb them or if you well you know
basically you mock them or yeah or
protest them. Let's put it let's put it
that way. While the governing the
Knesset in Israel just voted 49 to35 to
move forward with a controversial bill
that would legally protect things like
and public Jewish prayer public in the
streets and treat interference even
minor bureaucratic obstacles as possible
criminal offenses. This bill well the
bill still has a long way to go and now
it goes to the committee before any
final vote. Supporters say it's about
letting Jews live Jewish in public.
Critics say it's religious coercion and
can force public places and even state
funded private offices to allow
governing lamun. Taka Carlson went to
Qatar and sat with senior officials
there to bash Israel and praise Doha. He
said Israel's a completely insignificant
country with no resources and 9 million
people and as he asked do we have to
defend Israel? He claimed America gets
nothing from Israel, only costs and
called Qatar and the Gulf States
infinitely well infinitely more
important for the United States. He even
spoke about buying a house in Qatar to
show his support for them. Critics say
this is upside down because Israel gives
America real-time intelligence, joint
missile defense like the Iron Dome,
Arrow, the AR3, which you spoke about,
cyber and high-tech help, and stands on
the front lines against Iran so America
soldiers do not have to. Qatar,
meanwhile, hosts kamas leaders and backs
Islamist movements while pouring
billions into American universities,
think tanks and lobbyists in Washington.
Tucker yells about foreign influence and
America first. But he's very quiet when
the money and influence comes from DA to
push proter terrorist messages and
propaganda funnels into America. Well,
money that funnels into America for that
kind of propaganda.
After this, Qatar's foreign ministry
posted online asking why Zionists uh in
quotes, get to control the United States
if they pour in so much money. FBI
deputy director Dan um Bonjino, I think
it's pronounced his name. I don't know.
The bureau's number two official right
under Cash Patel says he will resign
next month.
This guy announced on social media I
will be leaving my position with the FBI
in January. We don't know why. A federal
appeals court just ruled that President
Donald J. Trump's National Guard
presence in Washington DC can stay in
place for now. The DC circuit put a
lower judge's order on hold so the
troops can remain while the case keeps
moving. DC's attorney general says this
is only temporary ruling and not and not
the final word on whether the deployment
is legal. And yes, this fight looks like
it's headed towards the Supreme Court.
The three Americans that were killed in
a terrorist attack in Syria returned
home in a flag covered coffin yesterday.
Well, flag covered coffins yesterday at
Dova Air Force Base with President
Donald J. Trump present for the
ceremony. Trump called them great
patriots and promised retaliation for
the attack. The manhunt for the Brown
University shooter is now in its fifth
day and investigators still do not know
the gunman's identity. The attacker
killed two students and wounded several
others during a weekend exam review
session on the Providence campus and
escaped through nearby streets. Five
people are confirmed dead after a
corporate jet crashed and burned in
North Carolina. The Casino 550 went down
around 10:20 this morning in Statesville
Regional Airport. It burst into heavy
flames on impact. Local reports say six
people were on board and officials
haven't given a final count yet. Flight
tracking shows the plane turned back
towards the airport right after taking
off. The FAA and NTSB are still
investigating.
American President Donald J. Trump gave
well addressed the nation last night.
Tonight after 11 months he says our
border is secure, inflation is stopped,
wages are up, prices are down, our
nation is strong, America is respected,
and our country is back. Soon he will
host soon we will host the World Cup,
the Olympics, and most importantly we
will celebrate the 20 the 250th
anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence. Trump announces warrior
dividend cash bonuses for troops. US
soldiers are getting a massive cash
bonus after President Trump announced a
new warrior dividend during his speech
last night. The president talked about
his record of of rebuilding the military
before announcing that every service
member will receive a special payout, a
dividend. Alan Derswitz, we mentioned it
yesterday for those of you who listened
on to On Edge, is telling President
Trump the Constitution might not
actually stop him from going for a third
term. He says he told Trump the issue
isn't clear even though the 22nd
amendment is supposed to cap a president
at being elected twice. Delaw says if
Trump ever decided he wants to stay past
2028 the move would be to challenge it
in court obviously and for now the White
House isn't saying Trump's doing this
just that people would be lucky to have
him longer. A new poll is showing,
speaking of Alexandria Okasio Cortez,
AOC in other words, slightly ahead of
Vice President JD Vance in a
hypothetical 2028 matchup on a poll and
it's the first time she's on the top of
of she she's in the top in this
head-to-head. The poll from the ar from
the argument and Vera site has it 51 to
49%. That's basically a tie because it's
inside the margin of error. And just to
be clear, nobody has announced they're
running yet. So this is just early
guessing, not a forecast. Nowadays,
we're constantly chasing tomorrow before
we even finish today. And it makes
people stressed for no reason. So enjoy
the moment. Take the good you have right
now. Do the next right thing. And
breathe.
That's that's basically it. President
Trump has signed more executive orders
in 2025 alone than he did in his entire
first four-year term. First four-year
term. The president is bypassing
Congress to push through his agenda on
border and energy and trade finances.
Let's talk about finances, shall we?
Federal is going to slash rates four
times in 2026, this coming year. A top
strategist at Bernstein private wealth
management, Roosevelt Bowman, this is
the name of this guy, says that the Fed
could cut interest rates four times in
2026 alone. He says it would be to prop
up the economy as things cool off,
especially if the job market keeps
softening. And if that happens, it could
take pressure off a lot of borrowers
like people with mortgages, car loans,
and credit cards. He also says smaller
companies could could pop the most
because basically um earned the most
because they live and die on borrowing
money. But here's the big point. The Fed
itself is not talking like um four cuts
right now. The Fed's latest projections
still show the median view is one cut in
2026. We already mentioned it several
times here on edge. And and speaking of
cutting rates, the Bank of England is
preparing to cut rates uh interest rates
as the British economy stalls. Update as
of today, they did cut down a quarter
point to 37 3.75 in a in a tight 5 to4
vote. Officials are doing it because
inflation has cooled and and growth uh
is is pretty weak and they're trying to
keep the country from slipping into a
real downturn. Inflation was 3.2% 2% in
November and still above the actual
target and the bank the bank of England
the bank of England is warning that the
next cuts won't be automatically
supposed to pull out and disarm south of
the Leani River by December 31st 2025
under the US backed plan tied to the
2024 ceasefire setup in and the Lebanese
government promises and with less than
two weeks left as of December 18th today
it's still not done. Israel keeps saying
it won't tolerate Kbala's military setup
in the in the south after that date and
it's signaling it may enforce it
directly if needed. Yesterday the
Lebanese army acted on intel Israel
passed through the USled monitoring
channel went into tower line dug a site
and Lebanese sources say they found aa
tunnel which is unusual because the
Lebanese army rarely moves on like this.
Israel also carried out air strikes and
drone strikes today, hitting what it
says alisbala sights and weapon storage.
And as the deadline gets closer, things
are getting more tense the next few
days. I'll make it a break at moments.
Either really pulls back with
reinforcement or this front slides into
a bigger fight. Basically, do it nicely

The Smemed Gavoya in Lakewood, BMG, as
you all know it already, officially is
expanding into Jackson after winning a
$40 million bid to purchase a middle
school. The Jackson Township Council
accepted the yeshiva's offer. This
purchase gives the yeshiva a massive new
campus to help receive well relieve
severe overcrowding in Lakewood.
Incoming mayor New York City mayor Zaram
Mamani just named the first two big
people who will run the city hall with
him together. His name is Dean Fulahan
is coming back as first deputy mayor. He
held that same job already under Bill
Delasio for those who remember. And
Mandani picked his campaign architect,
Ella Bis Bisgard, I think his name is.
Bisgard church. What an interesting
name. To be his chief of staff. Okay.
Well, getting ready for another Bill
Delasio kind of mayor. Um, New York, I
guess. Facts of But it doesn't make a
difference. It's fine. Same politician,
different face, right? Facts of the day
of Kisl of Today. It's interesting,
actually. A man gets off the ground for
the first time in history. Yes. The
Wright brothers from Ohio fly a powered
airplane for the first time ever. They
go 120 ft up through the air. The whole
flight lasts 12 seconds. The plane
weighs about 600 lb. And that short hop
starts the age of flight. In other
words, 12 seconds in the air and
humanity never walks the same again.
With that, my friends, have a wonderful
and
we will see each other next time and
please stay infor. Thank you so much for
joining me.
