Trump orders a total naval blockade on
Venezuela. Listen to this. President
Trump has ordered a military blockade to
stop all sanctioned oil tankers from
entering or leaving Venezuela.
He says the country is now completely
surrounded by the largest Armada ever
assembled in the history of South
America. Trump designated the Venezuelan
government a foreign terrorist
organization and demanded the return of
stolen American assets. He warned that
the US naval force will only get bigger
until Nicholas Maduro gives in.
Venezuela called the order a grotesque
threat, meaning intent to harm and an
act of international piracy. Maduro
urged his military to be ready to smash
the teeth of the North American Empire
if attacked. Good luck to him. Now in
Sydney, Australia, police officially
charged Navidid Akram Yak Shimo Vizro,
the terrorist in the Bondi massacre with
15 counts of murder and one count of
terrorism right in his hospital bed.
He's obviously wounded
because of him and his dead father.
left their loved ones too soon.
Thousands filled the streets for the
emotional less of Elli Schlanganger
and Le and Levan Levitan.
The hero that tackled and disabled one
of the terrorists, Ahmed Al Ahmed, is
recovering now in hospital and is and
was visited by officials. He was thanked
and obviously there's a big fund for
him, over $1.5 million already in the
fund, a fund for heroes.
More incredible heroism happened at
Bondai Beach during the attack. Boris
and Sophia Groomman, a couple saw the
terrorists coming out of their vehicle
with guns and they saw the flag, the
ISIS flag on the car and they died
trying to wrestle the gun away from the
killers.
And also 87year-old Holocaust survivor
Alex Clayman Hashem Kandoy also gave his
life away using his body to shield his
wife from the bullets and she lived to
tell the tale
and also Ruven Morrison was killed while
trying to stop the Bondai Beach Kaneka
terrorist attack in Sydney. Witnesses
say he picked up bricks and threw them
at the gunman to protect the people
around him and the terrorists shot him
and he bled out and he died. She kandai
his daughter told reporters that the
family and the wider the Jewish
community had tried many different ways
to ask the government the Australian
government to act against growing
antise-mitism but nothing happened. She
said the community had been begging and
begging for real protection and now
feels completely betrayed and ignored
and says the Australian government has
innocent blood on their hands. They
asked for protection and they received
condolences. No thank you.
In other news, President Putin claimed
it wasn't Russia that started the war in
Ukraine, it was the West. He also added
that Russia is now stronger than ever
and ready for anything. Russian missiles
and drones again hit Ukraine cities and
power stations, knocking out electricity
for hundreds of thousands and leaving
the um Zapari
whatever some nuclear plant in Ukraine
dependent on a single external power
line. At the same time, European leaders
are still talking about the ceasefire
and they're thinking about a
multinational force like we spoke
yesterday on Edge to police any future
deal. America will also be involved in
that. Ukraine and over 30 European
countries also signed a new treaty in
the Hague to create a international an
international claims commission that
will register and validate compensation
claims for war damage with a long-term
goal that Russia will have to pay for
that
like Mexico paid for the war. Sure.
Anyway, Zalinski said, "Today we heard
new signals from Moscow that Russia is
preparing 2026 as a year of war. These
signals are not only for us. He says our
partners must see them and respond,
including the United States, where some
still claim Russia wants to end the war.
He has a point because Putin says he
prefers diplomacy and is willing to make
a deal. But he is also warning that if
Ukraine and Europe do not accept his
terms, Russia will take more Ukrainian
territory by military force and extend
its gains on the ground.
Let's talk about another war on the
front. The IDF in Israel killed well in
Lebanon killed an operative of Kisbala
in southern Lebanon today. Forces
eliminated a terrorist who was caught
gathering intelligence on Israeli troops
and rebuilding terror infrastructure,
terror sites. The army claims these
actions are a direct violation of the
ceasefire agreement between Israel and
Lebanon and that's why they could kill
him even though there is a ceasefire in
place.
Israel's president Isaac Heretuk and
MSAD director David Barnea, who's soon
to be stepping down from his pos from
his um post, I don't know who's going to
replace him, awarded certificates of
excellence to 12 MSAD employees on the
third night of Khaneka last night for
exceptional contributions to Israel's
security.
There was a Kaneka party hosted by the
white well by by President Trump and his
first lady last night. Shulam Lema sang
the national anthem in English and also
in Yiddish. Later Trump gave a speech
and praised himself as well as well as
the Jews of America. Now let me ask
Shulum Lema who was at was at the event
obviously he was hired to sing or he
came he was invited to sing at the
event. I want to ask him a question.
Shulam can you tell me a little bit more
about what happened about your
experience at the White House please?
Thank you. It
>> was a beautiful amazing experience.
God, God bless America in English and in
Yiddish. It's very nice.
Did you did you get to meet the
president? Did he compliment the
president? The song and the president.
Please welcome president of the United
States. But yeah, it's
sitting close to him. Standing close to
him.
This that
Anyway, this was uh the conversation
with Shulam. Thank you Shulamma for
giving us um your he gave it to you.
I'll tell quickly what he said because
he only gave it to me. Well, the point
is that um he sent me these videos and
these clips of the event last night and
he sang in Yiddish. I've never heard it
in Yiddish. Um so what he said is
basically for those who don't understand
exactly because he spoke in Yiddish. Um
that he met well he there was two
parties, 400 guests um each I guess and
he met very important people. He took
pictures with them and then he sang the
songs both in Yiddish and English that
God bless America, God bench America.
And he asked him if he met President
Trump. He said well he well he tried.
and he went to him and he wanted to give
him his hand and he said winked him with
his hand. Not really, but I guess he
protects himself and yeah, it was very
very nice. It was a beautiful event. He
standed right next to him and um he he
actually called him out the president of
the United States. Anyway, yeah, Schulam
also met with Alan Dersitz and Howard
Lutnik, the US Secretary of Commerce.
Mark Levvin spoke there too and said
that six years ago he said, "I was here
with you and I said this is our first
Jewish president." And Trump laughed and
said, "It's true." Anyway, then he spoke
about the latest anti-semitic terror
attack, Trump and and exclaimed, "All
nations must come together to fight
Islamic terrorism." But he says if you
go back 10, 12, 15 years ago, in the
most he at the most, he says the
strongest lobby in Washington was the
Jewish lobby. It was Israel. There was
no that's no longer true. He says you
have to be very careful. You have a
Congress in particular, which is
becoming antis-mitic. You have AOC plus
3, he calls them, and you have those
people. Trump also added about the
current Israeli war in Lebanon. He says,
"We have many countries that want to go
in and take outbalah if it happens, if
we want to do it, not just Israel. He
says many countries would do it." Trump
also bans entry from Palestinian author
uh from for the Palestinian Authority
and 20 more nations. President Trump
just signed an order doubling the US
travel ban to list to 39 countries
saying it's due to national security.
This includes a strict ban on anyone a
strict ban on anyone using Palestinian
Authority travel papers. Syria is also
on the list. The White House warns these
areas have weak border controls or
serious terror threats. While diplomats
and current residents are exempt, the
door officially closes for everyone else
on January 1st, 2026. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio says he will not run for
president in 2028 if Vice President JD
Vance decides to seek the Republican
nomination. Rubio told an interviewer, a
reporter, that if Vance runs, he will
support him fully instead of entering
the race himself. Both men are seen as
leading contenders to to replace
President Donald J. Trump in 2028, who
cannot legally run again because of term
limits according to the constitution.
Speaking on which at the White House,
the White Khan party last night,
billionaire donor Miriam M. Adlesen told
President Donald J. Trump that she would
give him $250 million if he runs again
for a third term. She says, she added he
had spoken with legal scholar Alan
Dersitz who was there at the party about
whether a third term could be possible
under American law. Trump shared her
comments with the crowds repeating that
she told him, "Think about it. I will
give you another $250 million." And she
said, "Yes." As guests chanted, "Four
more years. Right now, the United States
Constitution clearly limits a president
to for to um to two elected terms. So, a
real uh a real third run would bring a
political fight. Obviously, even as
Trump hints at the idea and answers with
with lines with lines like we will see.
Anyway, during a speech President Trump
gave well which he gave yet last night
mentioned that US bombers have
completely obliterated Iran's nuclear
program. Speaking of it of which Abasari
says again that Iran is ready to make a
new deal on its nuclear program. He
admits their nuclear facilities were
badly damaged, but says their scientists
and their ability to rebuild the program
are fully fully intact, and he is
calling on the United States to come
back to the table and make an
arrangement with them again. Huh? One
more time, huh? At the same time, well,
how many times have they said this
already? At the same time, Iran's
economy is in a very weak shape,
terrible shape, actually, with high
inflation and serious pressure on
ordinary people. There are also local
reports of a strange rep red substance
seen in parts of Iran's waters which
some people are compl comparing to
makazdam soon in the past of the week
almost obvious obviously the plague of
blood Trump claimed that thanks to this
to this US to this force there is now
legitimate peace in the Middle East for
the first time ever okay let's hope from
his words to God yeah during the speech
Trump claimed he had brought every
single hostage home The father of Omen
um Nutra politely stood up and corrected
the president reminding him that the
body of Rangilli is still being held in
Gaza. Well, he obviously meant the live
hostages. But yes, tonight Trump well I
I think so that's what he meant. I'm not
taking aside. I'm just saying he did
forget about Rangilli. Tonight Trump
will address the nation live from the
White House. He he has announced on
truth social that he will highlight the
historic accom his historic
accomplishments from the first year that
he ran in office so far. He's been in
office for almost a year almost a year
and talk about the economy and also he
said in these big caps words he said the
best is yet to come. Okay, looking
forward the US economy took a hit with
unemployment rising to 4.6% in November.
This is the highest jobless rate we have
seen in four years. The numbers were
released in a delayed report following a
40 the 43day government shutdown
confirming that the labor market is
cooling down. While the economy added
for 64,000 jobs, it wasn't enough to
stop the unemployment rate from
climbing. Well, maybe it's illegal
immigrants. Has no one ever thought
about that? You can never trust these
reports, by the way. It's not always
accurate. It doesn't mean anything.
Doesn't mean much if you look into it.
I'm just saying because when a job
report comes out, it does it doesn't
count. It counts the jobs that people
applied for or didn't get or are going
to get or maybe the potential jobs that
are coming because of the deals that
were just made and they didn't even fill
positions yet. Whatever. It's all
promises, good things, but it's just my
my point is don't get fooled by the
media. Don't let it ruin your day.
Continue on and have hope.
The US Senate has approved the 2026
National Defense Authorization Act just
today. Senators passed it by a very
strong bipartisan vote of 77 to 20. The
bill authorizes $91 billion like that
one extra billion dollar in defense
spending for the coming fiscal year.
It also includes a 4.5% raise for the US
service members at a time when military
when the military is struggling with
recruitment and retention. Let's talk
about Tesla, shall we? Tesla smashes
records. While the job market struggles,
as the media claims, Tesla is booming,
right? Shares of the electric car giant
Tesla, owned by Elon Musk, I mean
shareholdered by Elon Musk, hit an
all-time record high, trading near $490
um trillion dollars, I think. What? I
don't know what that means. Oh, sorry.
The shares hitting $490. I'm so sorry. I
made a mistake. This is the first time
in over a year that stocks have reached
these levels. Investors are pouring
money in betting big on Elon Musk's new
robo taxi and AI plans even though
actual car sales in the US have dropped
recently. Now, let me tell you this.
Tesla has done this amazing thing. What
have they done? So if you buy well first
of all they're rolling up FSD full self
drive and they want people to use full
self drive because they want to prove
that the full drive full self drive is
is basically very safe and the more you
use full self drive you will get Tesla
cash eventually they'll roll this out in
the coming years and also other types of
rewards that you will get by using a
Tesla and almost you can get it I think
you will be able to get a Tesla for
free. Now, another thing, if you offer
your car as a robo taxi to be part of
the fleet, that means when you don't use
your Tesla, when your Tesla is parked in
your driveway or at work during the the
hours that you don't use it, if you
allow it to become a taxi through the
app, you just put in, let's say, um,
robo taxi enabled, whatever the feature
is going to be in the app, you get
credits for that. That means you get
paid. You get paid for that in Tesla,
Tesla cash or money, whatever it is
going to be. I'm not sure exactly, but
your car will become a robo taxi.
Imagine that. It will drive out itself,
go to a customer, pick him up, and then
come back in time when you need the car
back. If you want to do that with your
car, you can make a lot of money. You
never know. Okay. A top Trump economic
adviser says a new Trump account could
turn small birth deposits into a huge
retirement fund. Secretary Scott Messen
says that if a baby has 1,000 uh a one
$1,000 deposit put into this account at
birth, it would grow to over 600,000 by
retirement age. He says this plan would
put the American dream within reach of
every US citizen, no matter the
circumstances of birth. The basic idea
is to give every newborn a
governmentbacked investment account that
grows over decades. So even children
from very poor families would have
serious savings when they reach
retirement age. A quick word from our

Let's talk about local news, shall we? A
massive fire hit Bora Park Mata Bakery.
One firefighter is in a hospital and
three people are injured after a massive
fire happened at the Bora Park
Matzerbakery. The fire broke out on 36th
Street and quickly grew to severe third
alarm fire. Crews battled the flames for
over an hour in freezing cold weather
just to knock down the main body of the
fire. The injured firefighter was taken
to the hospital to be treated for smoke
inhalation.
We have a referring.
A from Jew was stabbed in Crown Heights
in a clear hate attack. The NYPD has
released pictures.
Oh, sorry. I made a mistake about this
picture. Okay, I guess this is not the
one. All right. The NYPD has released
pictures of this person who stabbed this
Jew in the chest in Brooklyn yesterday.
The attack happened in the heart of
Crown Heights near Kingston Avenue and
Lincoln Place. Doctors say the injuries
of Brasham not life-threatening. Let's
talk about US politics. President Trump
says he will not fire his top adviser
and campaign manager Susie Wilds.
There's been a whole uproar in the media
about this even after she told the
magazine he has an alcoholic's
personality. Wilds claimed that while
Trump doesn't drink, he has an obsessive
addictive nature where he believes there
is nothing he can't do. She didn't stop
there. She also called Vice President JD
Vance a conspiracy theorist. But instead
of being angry, Trump told the New York
Post that he actually agrees with her
and said he has a very possessive
personality. He says that and said the
White House is still 100% behind her and
so did JD Vance say the same exact
words. He said well differently saying
that Susie Wilds is a loyal as loyal she
is and she's just outspok means say she
speaks the truth. She speaks the truth
in front of him in front of everyone
else. She doesn't just speak to the
media things that are not true. He
agrees. I mean you know she's allowed to
say what she's allowed to say. And that
is what's so beautiful about this
government this administration. He says
that's what JD Vance said. Okay.
Remember two days ago we reported on the
killing of Rhiners of the Rhiners, the
Hollywood stars, the Jewish couple, a
non-froom Jewish couple that was killed
by their own son, Nick Reiner. He's been
ordered um um um basically he's been
ordered held without bail following a
brief court appearance today facing
murder charges in the deaths in the
death of his parents Rob and Mrs. Rhina.
I guess meeting the Jews Jewish namas.
Israel's defense company Elbert Systems
Elbert Systems has just showed off its
new Sky Striker attack drone. This is a
small unmanned plane that can circle in
the air and then dive in to hit a
target. Elbert says it can fly up to
about 100 kil kilometers, stay in the
air around 2 hours and carry 5 to 10
kilogram warhead. Sky Striker is already
in use by foreign armies such as India,
Azabaijan and Elbert recently signed a
new large deal about $95 million with a
European country that wants to stay anom
anonymous did not want its name public.
We can imagine who that is. Someone who
probably says pro Palestine and
recognize a Palestinian state and that
and Israel this and that and then and
then on the sidelines they say we're
friends. Don't worry, we just have to do
it for this happens by the way a lot.
I'm just saying I'm not I'm just I'm not
just reporting things. Um I'm not just
saying things. It's actually it's um
factual reports. Let's put it that way.
The message is simple. Many countries
now want this kind of Israeli attack
drone. And that's it. And this is it for
today. Okay, my friends. Before we go
on, um let's bring you some fun facts or
facts. Your titan of the day
