Good morning.
It's Friday
on edge and it's the 9th of January
2026. My name is Gershwarz and I'm your
host on edge. Are we nearing the end of
the Iranian regime? Well, it's a
question between a Danish and 100K. But
first, who told you leasing a car is
expensive? Was it the same guy who still
buys fax paper and thinks that horse and
buggies are outrageously expensive?
Well, let's clear this up. Leasing does
not have to be expensive. And Fivestar
Leasing proves it every single day. They
shop the best deals, negotiate hard, and
get you into a brand new car at prices
that actually make sense. No gimmicks,
no scary fine print, no surprise that
will be extra at the end. And here is
the best part, the part that you should
really listen to. Mention this ad on
Edge and you will get a free damage
waiver on any new lease with fivestar
leasing. That's a $600 value. Free. Like
actually free. Expires February 1st,
2026. Limit. That's um the 14th of Oh,
and they'll even help you with insurance
because one headache at a time is
plenty. Five star leasing. Again,
fivestar leasing. Call or text them on
8458 uh 351511
or WhatsApp them 845933452.
The links are also in the description
below. Turns out leasing myths are way
more expensive than leasing cars. Okay.
And again, my friends, before we jump
into why the Iranian regime might be at
its near end, let's talk about they
don't have any internet, so we don't
know exactly what's going on there. And
even the fact that Ila Musk tried
sending Starink over. We'll talk about
it soon more, but you can win big today.
And I want to tell you this. I have a
link that that is attached to this um
episode right here, okay? Down below in
the the description below. And also I
will tell you how to access it if you
want to call. Okay? You can win majorly
big by supporting TEDC, my page on TEDC.
It's driveup.com/edic40000.
And I will tell you why you'll win.
You'll win about $1,000 and 500 in three
different places. $500 in three
different places. Great places. Silver
stores I'm talking about. And then also
a $100 gift card you can spend anywhere
in the world. And also uh $150 gift card
to a restaurant. A cool place. Okay.
Now, let me I'll tell you everything at
the end. But first, the Trump
administration is reportedly looking at
a plan to pay people in Greenland to
become Americans. Listen to this.
Sources say the White House is
discussing a cash offer between $10,000
and $100,000 US for every single person
who lives there person. The goal is to
convince them to break away from Denmark
and join the United States. With about
57,000 people on that island, it's a
huge island by the way. The total cost
could be nearly $6 billion. And that's
not a lot of money because for president
for the United States, President Trump
has said acquiring Greenland is a
national security priority. And if it
doesn't work to go to the officials,
they will go to the people,
right? And officials from Greenland,
Greenland, and Denmark are set to meet
with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Um uh um sorry, Secretary of State Marco
Rubio is set to meet the leaders with
from Denmark and Greenland next week in
Washington to talk about this situation.
As wandering Jews, we've been
everywhere. So, I'm sure I have a Danish
ancestor somewhere in my lineage. So,
for $100,000, who doesn't, right? And
I'm ready to come home and get myself
some Danish. Iran has gone completely
dark, Rabai. The regime has cut off the
internet across the entire country to
hide what is happening on the streets.
The blackout started Thursday night as
massive, massive crowds flooded and
other major cities. People are screaming
death to the dictator and long live the
king the sha they meant. This follows a
call for nationwide uprising by the
exiled crown prince Resa Palavi Palavi.
But the response has been brutal.
Reports say that the IRGC reports that
we know before the internet got shut you
know closed down. Um is the IRGC the
Iranian guard core is shooting directly
at protesters and there are accounts of
mass killings in multiple cities.
President Trump is watching closely. He
tweeted in all caps yesterday or truth
social going to hit Iran hard if they
kill pro riers. He said rioters, not
protesters. Meanwhile, Israel has
decided to remain on the sidelines for
now. Well, at least what we know.
Letting the US take the lead. Tech
billionaire Elon Musk quietly enabled
Starink for Iran a few days ago. But
it's not enough to get a signal. You
need a satellite dish, a special
satellite dish, which is illegal and
expensive. The Supreme Leader, Ayat Ali
Kumeni, appeared on state TV. How did
he? There's no internet. But he did. And
warned that the Islamic Republic will
not back down.
He claimed the protesters are just
trying to please Trump, saying they want
to make him happy. If he knew how to run
a country, he would run his own. Well,
an opposition journalist reports that
more people were killed overnight than
during the entire 12-day conflict
combined.
Well, just to say that Iran is at its
brink, near end. Well, if you look at
the difference between the previous
demonstrations and today's there's three
reasons why the regime is perhaps
falling or fell already because well, we
don't know. The internet is sharp. We
don't know anything, right? Because of
three reasons. A the merchants who are
loyal to the regime have turned against
them. They are part of the major riots,
the major demonstrations. The merchants
in the in the the big um bazaar bazar
it's called. And that's one reason. The
second reason, they're crippled. They
the gold is worth nothing anymore. They
have no economy. They have nothing left.
The money is worthless. So that's that's
another reason, a very big reason. And
the third reason is obviously people are
desperate. Stores are shut. There's
nothing going on anymore. They have no
they have no way of making money or
surviving. So the only way to survive is
go out in the streets and take it to the
streets. in Jerusalem today after a
court released the Arab bus driver
who to house arrest just days after he
killed BHA. The driver
Fakri Katib rammed his bus into a crowd
of protesters on Tuesday night, killing
14-year-old Yasf Eisental
Shemy Kandum. I would say the driver
claims he was attacked by the protesters
and was just trying to get away. But the
police say the video does not support
his story and that he was in immediate
danger when he accelerated.
A deadly night in Ukraine. We haven't
heard of Ukraine and Russia in a while,
have we? Russia launched a major air
strike on the capital city of Kiev
overnight. Four people were killed in
the attack. 25 others were injured. At
the same time, the diplomatic fight is
getting harder. Russia has officially
rejected President Trump's plan for
security guarantees. The Kremlin, well,
they tried with this whole, you know,
um, video, AI video that Ukraine
attacked Putin's own residence. Well, we
all saw what happened. The Kremlin says
they will not accept the safety terms
the White House is offering to Ukraine.
The US Senate just moved to stop
President Trump from attacking Venezuela
again without permission. Lawmakers
voted 52 to 47 to limit his war powers.
Five Republicans broke ranks to join the
Democrats. Rand Paul, Susan Collins,
Todd Young, and Josh Holi, and Lisa
Mikowski or Makowski. Makowski.
Interesting interesting to see because
interesting that the Democrats always
stick together. They always stick
together no matter what. But the
Republicans somehow turn against each
other a lot. And that is maybe because
they're trying to please and be
apologetic to get through. They're
afraid. And this is why we as Jews have
to remember not to be afraid, not to be
apologetic. I keep on saying it. I heard
it from Rabbi New in Montreal MTC and I
loved what he said. Stop being
apologetic to the nations of the world.
Stop it. They they they look up to you
and they don't hate you when you're
proud and you identify yourself as a
proud Jew. President Trump slammed the
vote saying these senators should be
ashamed of themselves obviously and
should never hold office again. Of
course he did that. Like you know what
do they think? They're not going to get
a mouthful from Trump. But while
Congress was fighting over the war,
Trump suddenly announced he is calling
he's calling it back anyway. He says he
is cancelling the second wave of attacks
in Venezuela. He claims the country is
now cooperating and releasing political
prisoners. In a major turnaround, Trump
also confirmed he will meet with
opposition leader Mario Karina Machado
in Washington next week. Okay, let's
see.
Spain's leading newspap was the
opposition leader really. It's not
really the president sitting current
vice president who's the president of
Venezuela right now. Spain's leading
newspaper had to apologize for shocking
uh for a shocking line they wrote about
the Jewish judge appointed to the Maduro
trial. El Perry
sorry El Pi El Pis forgot it's not Paris
it's not France it's Spanish. So, El P
um published a profile on Judge Alvin
Helerstein, the 92-year-old overseeing
aid, a Yiddisha judge overseeing the
case against Venezuelan President
Nicolas Maduro. The article praised his
rulings, but included a nasty qualifier.
It said the judge strived to remain
impartial despite being a prominent
member of the Jewish community. The
implication was clear. A Jew usually
can't be fair, but this one tried.
Spain is already facing criticism for
rising antise-semitism, and its
left-wing government just banned all
Israeli made weapons last week. Federal
agents opened fire again, this time in
Portland. Border Patrol again agents
shot a husband and wife in a hospital
parking lot this afternoon.
Not good. DHS calls it a targeted stop,
claiming the driver was a Venezuelan
gang member who tried to run them over.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson is furious.
He is demanding federal agents stop
operations in his city immediately. This
is the second shooting by immigration
teams in 24 hours alone following the
deadly incident in Minneapolis. The FBI
has taken over the investigation
obviously. Well, what happened in
Minneapolis is if those who saw the
video, you know, you can investigate it
for yourself and have a have a say at
it. Obviously, reports have come out
that the two members, there was two
members there. One member was in the
car, the other one was outside, was a
partner and they were both there to
incite obviously um you know to stop the
ICE agents from doing their work. They
bring cars. They are especially they're
advocates. They moved away first of all
when Trump run the presidency. They ran
away to Canada. moved to Canada and they
promoted the idea that's going to be
terrible for America. And then they came
back to Minneapolis to stir chaos and
havoc against the ICE agents, the
federal agents. This was reported um I'm
just reporting it back to you. Okay. And
what happened there? She came with a car
and she tried to obviously block the ICE
agents from doing the work. So they came
and um this agent, the ICE agent that
was standing in front of the car while
she was moving, she was moving the car
right um towards him. So he right away
took his gun out and shot her. obviously
killed her. But this same agent, as
reported, had about 38 stitches on his
hand from a previous um time when he
stopped someone and the car started
driving off with his hand stuck inside
the car and that therefore he needed 37
or 38 stitches. Um so I guess it was a
natural reflex of his. So he took his
gun out and shot her. President Trump
wants to build what he calls a dream
military. He is asking for a massive
budget increase, pushing military
spending to $1.5 trillion by 2027. That
is a 50% jump from the current budget.
Trump says new tariffs and foreign on
foreign goods will pay for the increase,
but it will not well not everyone is on
board. Democrats and some budget focused
Republicans are a little worried about
the cost. Troubling scenes in Queens
rhymes last night.
Let's talk about the troubling scenes in
Queens last night. Pro kamas protesters
including the turkata Palestinians
dressed asic Jews gathered outside a
shul in Q garden hills they were
chanting say it out loud say it clear we
support kamas here these are the words
they said including those with the there
were standing there I don't know why
they do that the national Jewish
advocacy center sent a letter to mayor
Ramadani earlier today they asked him to
stop the protest calling it a planned
violent event targeting the Jewish
community despite the warning the crowd
was allowed to gather right in front of
the synagog Go again. A horrifying
attack on a school bus in New Jersey. A
third grade Jewish girl from Tene was
seriously injured yesterday. What
happened? Someone threw a rock at the
bus while it was traveling on the on the
turnpack in Bergen County. The girl was
hit and is scheduled to undergo surgery.
A major investigation is now underway to
find out who did this. Please say to
Hilim for Gilraa Basik Alana
Gilra Alana. Please see
o a crackdown on where government money
is going. Rabai, the Treasury Department
announced today that it will ban
everyone receiving federal assistance
from um from wiring of money overseas.
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says
this new rule is direct response to the
massive welfare fraud uncovered in
Minnesota. Under the new policy, anyone
sending money through services like
Western Union or Moneygram will have to
check a box declaring whether they
receive government benefits or not. If
they do, the transfer will be blocked.
Secretary Bessant was blunt about the
the reasoning. He says, "If you are
receiving benefits or discounts or
subsidies from the government to survive
in America, you should not have extra
cash to send to another country." He
warned that this is just the first step
in larger investigation ordered by
President Trump to stop tax dollars from
leaving the US economy. A breakthrough
in Syria. If you ask me, I don't think
that's fair because, you know, if I
work, I have a right to do what with my
money whatever I want. I would allow to
send it to my family in out outside of
the whatever. It is what it is. You
know, a breakthrough. No, not you know.
Anyway, a breakthrough in Syria is
happening again. What happened? What
happened yesterday? We reported about
the war breaking out and how 30,000
citizens had to leave their place, their
city, their town in Aleppo. The fighting
in Aleppo has stopped finally. Borashem,
the Syrian Defense Army agreed to make a
ceasefire with Kurdish forces today. But
the biggest story is diplomacy. That's
where the biggest story is. The European
Union chief Ursela Vanderier Leain has
arrived in Syria to meet face to face
with Golani aka Ahmed al-Shara. It's a
massive step because after many years,
Europe seems ready to recognize his
authority in the land to secure
stability. Obviously, let's do let's
talk about securing stability. If your
