It [snorts] is Thursday, Parshas Tzav,
Nissan 5780 on Edge. My name is Gershon
Schwartz and I'm pleased to be your host
on Edge.
On Edge. Your daily report of the news
of the last 24 hours, powered by Yiddish
24, provided to you by The Click.
So, I decided people need a little bit
of humor, especially now that the world
is shaky. You probably caught the end of
my segment yesterday. So, today I have
another one for you. So, wait until the
end of the show and you'll find out.
Trump is mad at NATO. He wrote in all
caps early morning and you have to be an
expert to read his posts. NATO nations
have done absolutely nothing to help
with a lunatic nation, {comma} now
militarily decimated, {comma} of Iran.
{full stop} The USA needs nothing from
NATO, {comma} but never forget, {in
quotes} this very important point in
time. This is the end of his tweet and
now we can go and talk about Montreal
Matzah. Montreal Matzah Bakery,
718-619-3661.
Go on to montrealmatzah.com,
type in your zip code and you will find
your nearest the nearest supermarket
that sells matzah. Now, especially in
this time, you want to help someone out
who doesn't have the means to buy the
matzah, buy them the matzah, but
Montreal Matzah because Montreal Matzah
says it all. 4320 14th Avenue, Brooklyn,
New York. The best matzah, Montreal
Matzah. Should I say more? No. Day 27 of
the war with Iran and there is no end in
sight. CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper
gave a full update on the massive
military campaign known as Operation
Epic Fury. Now, the focus remains
degrading Iran's ability to project
power, meaning their ability to use
military force across the region.
The US Army conducted the longest field
artillery strike in its history using
precision missiles. Thousands of Iranian
missiles and drones have been destroyed.
The Iranian Navy has been effectively
neutralized and is no longer operating.
Iran's tactical air force, its frontline
combat planes, is grounded. Missile and
drone launches uh launch rates have been
significantly reduced to 90% they say.
More than 8,000 US combat flights have
been um conducted. Full air superiority
over Iran is now being maintained. More
than 8,000 military targets have been
struck. 130 Iranian vessels have been
destroyed. This is the largest naval
destruction since World War II. The US
military says Iran's ability to fight is
declining and fast. A massive integrated
air defense network, which is connected
to a system of radars and missiles
designed to shoot down aircraft, is now
active across the Middle East. Gulf
partners, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain,
UAE have intercepted thousands of
Iranian drones. Key strikes hit the
bases and weapons near the Strait of
Hormuz, facilities which Iran uses to
attack ships there. In an and sorry, an
underground coastal facility was
destroyed using 5,000 lb bombs.
Anti-ship missiles, launchers, radar and
intelligence sites have all been
eliminated. Iran's ability to threaten
global shipping in that area has been
severely weakened or altogether. The
commander of Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps um got in the
navy has been killed in an Israeli air
strike today. Now, listen to this.
Admiral um his name is Admiral Alireza
Tangsiri
Tangsiri, if I pronounced it right. He
He commanded the Iranian Navy for eight
years straight. CENTCOM Commander
Admiral Brad Cooper today confirmed the
the targeted killing today. He said,
"Tangsiri, let's call him Tangen
Tangerine. Okay, Tangerine was
responsible for harassing thousands of
innocent sailors, attacking hundreds of
ships with drones and missiles and
killing countless of civilians." Cooper
declared that Tangerine's death makes
the region safer. According to CENTCOM,
92% of Iran's large naval ships have
been eliminated since Operation Epic
Fury began. Cooper said the Iranian Navy
has completely lost its ability to
threaten the region and it's now it is
now an irreversible decline since this
guy has been killed, Tangerine.
The US military is now calling on every
Iranian serving in the navy to abandon
their posts and return home immediately
to avoid further risk of death.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force carried
out massive air strikes across Iran over
the past 24 hours and explosions are now
rocking the Iranian capital. Multiple
blasts were heard in Tehran tonight.
Sources confirm these are direct hits,
not just Iranian air defenses firing
into the sky. The headquarters of the
IRGC Joint Staff is is currently under
heavy attack by US and Israeli forces.
This follows a wave of overnight strikes
where 60 fighter jets dropped more than
150 bombs near Tehran and central Iran.
Overnight, strikes in the city of
Isfahan hit several weapon factories,
including an air defense production
facility and a site belonging to the
IRGC Quds Force.
In Parchin, just east of Tehran, I hope
I pronounced that right, Israel Israel
struck the regime's main missile
production hub. They hit an air defense
development facility, a plant used for
cast for casting and filing warheads and
missile engine mixing site and a solid
fuel production plant, if you understood
what this means.
The Iranian regime, for its part, is
making its own claims about the
conflict. Now, it says it struck an
American F-18 aircraft in Konabahar uh
Konabahar here using an IRGC Navy air
defense system. It claims that Iranian
Army targeted the Abraham Lincoln
aircraft carrier with a ground-to-sea
missile, forcing it to change position.
And it says it targeted Israeli military
and security centers in what it called
Wave 80 in coordination with Hezbollah.
Well, we all know where that where these
missiles went, Tel Aviv, Arad, not
exactly military bases. Meanwhile, US
forces,
including Marines and more than a
thousand soldiers from the from the 82nd
Airborne Division, are deploying to the
Middle East to support combat operations
like we mentioned here yesterday. The
diplomatic battle is also escalating.
The White House said Wednesday that
President Trump is prepared to {quote}
"unleash hell if Iran refuses to come to
a deal." He has just issued a strict
10-day deadline for Tehran to completely
dismantle its energy facilities or the
US military will wipe them out. The
Iranian regime is digging in, pushing
back hard against American pressure. The
US had put forward a 15-point ceasefire
plan, reportedly offering lifting
economic sanctions and exchanging
um for Iran giving up all of its
enriched uranium. Iranian Foreign
Minister Abbas Araghchi declared today,
"No negotiations with the American
exists." He claimed that the very fact
the Americans are talking about
negotiations is an admission of defeat.
Iran's Parliament speaker echoed that
defiance, telling the country that's
uh tell telling the telling the country
they have achieved sorry, telling the
country that they have achieved excuse
me, a historic victory and that no one
else no one can issue an ultimate an
ultimatum to Iran.
Now, behind the scenes, the threat is
growing. Reports
s- uh that following the death of the
supreme leader say that the
Revolutionary Guards are now in total
control. Hardliners are pushing
aggressively for Tehran to immediately
build a nuclear weapon. They want to go
full force. But, President Trump says
Iran's tone is completely changing
behind the scenes. Speaking Wednesday at
as Wednesday night at a Republican
dinner in Washington, Trump said Iran
desperately wants to make a deal, but
they're afraid to say it openly, afraid
they'll be killed by their own people or
by us, he says.
Or the idea of anyone took taking over
as Iran supreme leader, Trump joked last
night.
You know what? Okay, I'll tell you at
the end. So, make sure to stick around
until the end of the segment. But, this
morning President Trump escalated things
dramatically. Holding a major cabinet
meeting, Trump declared that very
substantial talks are now going on with
Iran, behind the scenes, obviously. He
said the war is ahead of schedule. The
original estimate was for
for 4 to 6 weeks, but Trump says the
Iranian regime is now defeated and
cannot make a comeback. In a major
announcement, Trump indicated that
Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba
Khamenei, um Khamenei is likely now dead
as well, he says. Mojtaba reportedly
took over after his father was killed
earlier in the war, but he had not been
seen in public. Confirming the
intelligence, Trump Trump's exact exact
words were, "We have to stop this maniac
who is no longer with us," he says. "The
supreme leader wasn't so supreme, no
longer with us. It's very sad," he says.
During the briefing, Trump asked advisor
Steve Witkoff for permission to to
disclose a a secret gift. Witkoff
replied, "You can do anything you want,
sir." Trump then revealed that Iran gave
the United States eight large boats of
oil as a tribute, sailed under Pakistani
flags to prove they are serious about
peace. Trump said of the Iranians,
{quote} "I say they're lousy fighters,
but great negotiators. They're begging
to work out a deal." He noted they want
a deal because they have been thoroughly
beaten.
Trump hinted that if the right deal is
made, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen.
But, he added sharply, "We don't need
the Strait of Hormuz. It doesn't affect
us at all." Other top officials at the
cabinet briefing highlighted that the
severe threat Iran poses
posed before the war began. Advisor
Steve Witkoff said intelligence showed
Iran possessed 460 kg of highly enriched
uranium, enough to make 11 atomic bombs.
Secretary of War Pete Hoekstra said Iran
had lied to the world about the range of
its missiles. He summarized the current
strategy by saying, {quote} "War is
negotiated by other means and we will
continue to negotiate we will continue
negotiating with bombs." Listen to this.
>> as part of this negotiation as well. We
negotiate with bombs.
At the same cabinet meeting, President
Trump strongly criticized America's
allies. He expressed deep disappointment
with NATO. Speaking about the United
Kingdom, Trump said the US has always
been there for the UK, but now I don't
know anymore.
He He the UK for offering to send
aircraft carriers only when the war is
over, calling their ships toys. He
compared
to the American fleet. If you listen to
this

[music]
>> Anyway, Trump is Trump also issued a
warning about the Middle East saying,
"We will protect the Gulf countries."
Meaning Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain,
United Nations, United Arab Emirates.
And did I miss anyone? "Even if we don't
say." They said. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio backed up the president
calling out European leaders who claimed
the war with Iran is not Europe's
problem. Rubio fired back saying, "Well,
Ukraine is not America's war. And yet
we've contributed more than fight
more to that fight than any other
country in the world has. He's speaking
about Europe, England, France, and all
them. The Wall Street Journal reported
Trump has told people around him that he
hopes to wrap up the conflict in the
Middle East in the coming weeks. The
White House said, "The campaign was very
close to meeting its goals." Israeli
officials though told reporters a deal
is unlikely and said Trump could still
declare a temporary ceasefire on its
own.
On the ground, pieces of a shot-down
Iranian ballistic missile fell in the
street in Abu Dhabi killing two people
and wounding three.
Two teenagers were killed in the Iranian
city of Shiraz. An eight-story building
was reportedly destroyed in an attack on
the port of city on the port on the port
city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.
Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tayabad and also
Mashhad all are under relentless attacks
right now. Hezbollah fired six rockets
towards central Israel. All six were
intercepted but two Israeli soldiers
were seriously wounded and five others
lightly hurt during fighting in Lebanon.
Kuwait also has also captured a
six-member Hezbollah cell that confessed
to planning a high-level assassination
attempt. Russia is reportedly secretly
arranging shipments of attack drone of
attack drones, Shahed drones, medicine,
and food to Iran. Senior Iranian and
Russian officials began those
discussions just days after the first US
and Israeli strikes on Tehran. The Trump
administration has reportedly been
considering occupying or blockading
Kharg Island. We spoke about this many
times. Iran's main hub for all for 90% I
guess of all the oil exports, their
money. Iran is now fortifying the island
in preparation for a possible US attack.
Iran's parliament speaker warned that if
Iran's island territory were occupied a
neighboring country would face
consequences. On the diplomatic front,
Egypt said it was ready to host
de-escalation talks. Qatar distanced
itself distanced itself from any
mediation role with the government
spokesperson saying pointedly, "If they
exist." If Iran exists. The UAE's
ambassador to the US wrote in the Wall
Street Journal yesterday that ending the
war too soon, and I said it yesterday,
would be a mistake saying it needs it
needs a decisive outcome. And in his
words, "Iran cannot win." Oil prices
topped $104
a barrel as hopes for a deal faded. The
World Trade Organization warned that the
Strait of Hormuz closure is already
disrupting
global fertilizer supplies. Roughly a
third of the world's fertilizer normally
passes through that strait.
The disruption is expected to cause food
shortages and rising prices around the
world. Republican lawmakers vented
frustration at Capitol Hill briefing
Wednesday over being kept in the dark
about the war's progress. Representative
Nancy Mace of South Carolina said that
she would not support sending ground
troops. Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri
called for the conflict to end.
Four people were hurt after a cluster
missile fired from an Iran struck
from an Iran missile that struck the
Arab-Israeli town of um
Kfar Qasim it's called.
A cluster missile is a weapon that
breaks apart like I said many times here
in the sky and drops smaller bombs over
a wide area. Now listen to this. This is
very interesting. If you look closely at
the footage you'll see a dramatic video
from the A from the Al Jama Jama
channel, an Arabic channel, caught the
moment. You can see the people standing
next to the car and the missile strikes
that very point where they were
standing. And if you look very closely,
the same footage you'll see that the
seconds before they hit a little cat
also escaped. So they didn't get hurt.
None of them got hurt. They ran to
shelter just in time.
Anyway,
Sorry,
after Arab-Israeli journalists and Iraqi
Shiite channels released the footage,
this very footage, the Iranian
Tasnim news agency published its own
video of the damage. Tasnim is connected
to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps. It boasted about the power of its
missiles saying, "Wow, look how powerful
we are." Palestinian and Gazan channels
tried to change the story seeing the
problem with Iran hitting an Arab area
inside Israel. They claimed the damage
was caused by an Israeli interceptor
missile, not an Iranian one. Those same
channels celebrated Iranian missiles as
blessed resistance missiles when they
land in Jewish areas. Separately,
another Iranian missile hits two homes
in Sham Rom. A strike was also reported
in the village of Silwad near eastern
Rama Ramallah. A lot of Arabs live
there. In northern Israel, a young girl
in Safed number went into cardiac arrest
after she fell out of bed while rushing
to the shelter during a missile siren.
United Hatzalah paramedic performed CPR
and used a defibrillator
on the scene and she was brought to the
hospital in serious condition.
Staff Sergeant Uri Greenberg, Shem
Yikaber Damo, a 21-year-old soldier, a
Jewish boy, was killed in a gunfight
with Hezbollah terrorists in Maroun
al-Ras in southern Lebanon. Just hours
later the IDF announced a second
fatality.
Sergeant Aviad El Khnan Volansky, Orit
Shem Yikaber Damo, he was killed when
Hezbollah fired two anti-tank missiles
north of the Litani River.
The first missile was intercepted by a
Merkava tank's active defense system.
But the second missile struck the tank
and two officers and two soldiers were
also injured in the strike. Volansky is
the fourth Israeli sorry, is the fourth
Israeli soldier killed since the renewed
ground offensive began. Meanwhile, the
IDF confirmed it eliminated senior
Hezbollah commander Hassan Muhammad
Bashir in an in an airstrike. Bashir led
Hezbollah's anti-tank unit and had spent
the well, at least the last two years
organizing attacks and terror terrorist
attacks against Israeli troops and
civilians. In addition to the
fatalities, another soldier was wounded
in the Greenberg in the Uri Greenberg
gunfight. Four more IDF troops were
injured in a separate Hezbollah mortar
attack. And the one additional soldier
was also hurt in a friendly fire
incident. On the ground in southern
Lebanon, Golani Brigade forces have
destroyed around 200 Hezbollah terror
hideouts and bases as part of the
ongoing operations in Lebanon. One
person was killed and another seriously
injured after a direct rocket hit the
northern Israeli city of Nahariya.
Emergency crews are on the scene and we
will bring you more details as they come
available. In a separate barrage,
Hezbollah fired 20 rockets at northern
Israel triggering heavy heavy sirens
across Haifa and the Galilee.
Now the IDF says most of those rockets
were intercepted by advanced Iron Dome
and David's Sling while others landed in
open areas. There are no immediate
reports of injuries from that attack. At
the same time, Iran fired four separate
waves of missiles at Israel all within
two hours. Seven people were injured in
those attacks.
Separately, a Pakistani official said
Israel agreed not to kill two senior
Iranian officials.
Now Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas
Araghchi and parliament speaker Mohammad
Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf
after both Pakistan and the United
States asked Israel to postpone to hold
off and take their names off the
assassination list. In northern Iraq,
the US military launched a heavy
airstrike against Iranian-backed proxy
groups in
Mosul Mosul. An American A-10 attack
plane opened fire on the proxy forces
firing its massive heavy cannons until
it used up almost all of its bullets.
Meanwhile, Iranian state media is
broadcasting new propaganda to boost
morale. The regime released a highly
produced footage showing Revolutionary
Guard forces praying to Allah right
before launching ballistic missiles
towards Israel.
Motor oil was found hidden inside the
United Nations humanitarian aid shipment
headed into Gaza.
COGAT, the Israeli military body that
coordinates aid into Gaza, caught the
attempt and sent a formal warning
letter. They wrote that this is a
serious violation of the aid process and
that Hamas continues to try to use the
aid mechanisms mechanism for terrorist
activity and incitement. Hamas has tried
to exploit humanitarian shipments
before.
Aid trucks have been used in the past to
move materials with military or
operational uses. Motor oil fits that
category since it can be used to
maintain weapons, vehicles, and tunnel
machinery. COGAT said the smuggling
attempt was stopped before the shipment
entered Gaza.
As the war disrupts global shipping,
France is stepping in to try to re
reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The French
armed forces chief held a video call
today with representatives from 35
countries worldwide to discuss plans to
secure and reopen the critical waterway.
Meanwhile, angry threats continue to
pour in from other regional players. The
leader of the Iran-backed Houthi rebels
issued new threats today. Well, like all
the other threats he mentions every
single day almost, threatening and
threatening and threatening calling on
all Muslim countries to rise up against
the United States
and obviously Israel. At the same time,
Turkey's President
Erdogan gave a long angry speech calling
on Muslims to unite against the
Zionists. He accused Israel of running a
genocide. He warned Israel will pay the
price and he brought up Al-Aqsa which
means the Haram al-Sharif in Arabic
claiming that it belongs to the chosen
nation. He didn't mean the Jews. He
meant the Islamic nation. He said it
very clear. He wants Jewish presence
there
entirely gone.
Inshallah, he said.
Zelensky says the United States has put
a peace proposal on the table in Miami
and it includes Ukraine handing over the
Donbas region to Russia. The Donbas is a
large industrial area in eastern Ukraine
that Russia has been fighting over since
and currently controls much of it.
Zelensky says the American proposal ties
any future security guarantees for
Ukraine to give to giving up that land.
No deal on protection unless Ukraine
first agrees to the loss.
Today is the day 1,492
of the war which began with Russia's
full-scale invasion in February of 2022.
Those who remember, Zelensky has not yet
said whether Ukraine will accept.
Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky
continued and arrived in Saudi Arabia.
He announced he will be holding quote
important meetings there.
This comes amid those reports that the
US is pushing Ukraine to give up land to
Russia to end the war like I just
mentioned. Overnight, Ukraine suicide
drones hit a major oil refinery in
Kirishi. That is in that is in the St.
Petersburg region of Russia, not far
from the city itself. The sky above
Kirishi turned bright red
after the strike. Ukrainian drone
strikes have paralyzed nearly half of
Russian oil exports. Drone hits drones
hit Russia's largest oil ports on the
Baltic Sea.
A major fire broke out at the
at that area and is still burning on the
Baltic Sea.
Both had to stop all shipments right
now. About 40% of Russia's total oil
export capacity is completely shut down.
That is around 2 million barrels a day
that cannot move. So, I guess Russia is
also having trouble with oil. At least
50 ships are currently stuck waiting in
the Gulf of Finland. The fires are so
massive that smoke can be seen from the
coast of Finland dozens of miles away.
Separately, Ukrainian drones also struck
the Russian Arctic patrol ship called
the Purga.
The ship was being built for Russia's
FSB security service hidden like the
intelligence like our CIA the Israeli
Mossad. Russia's main internal security
agency and was almost finished. I think
the FBI. And it was hit while sitting in
the port of Vyborg. The massive ship is
now leading leaning over and has crashed
into nearby building.
Belarusian President Alexandria
Alexander
Lukashenko has arrived in North Korea
for a meeting with none other than Kim
Jong-un.
He gave him presents. Belarus and North
Korea's are both close allies of Russia
for those of you who don't know and
there are this is a rare high-level
visit. North Korea almost never hosts
foreign leaders. No details have been
released yet about what the two leaders
the two sides plan to discuss but he
brought him presents like swords and
guns and other blood-shedding tools.
This visit comes as North Korea has been
sending weapons and soldiers to help
Russia fight in Ukraine. Lukashenko
himself has allowed Russia to use
Belarusian territory to launch attacks
into Ukraine since the war began.
A summit between President Trump and
Chinese leader Xi Jinping is now set for
May 14th and 15th. Trump will travel to
Beijing, his first trip to China in 8
years. The visit was the visit was first
pushed back from next week to the
ongoing war in the Middle in the Middle
East. Trump announced the new dates on
Truth Social Wednesday and said she will
make not she as in she, she Xi Jinping
will make a return visit to Washington
later this year. Vice President J.D.
Vance is headed to Hungary on April 7th
and 8th in the Middle East.
This visit comes just days before
Hungary's national elections as the
Trump administration shows its support
for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's
re-election. A Turkish oil tanker
carrying about 1 million barrels of
Russian crude oil was struck by a drone
attack in the Black Sea possibly from
Ukraine. The drone hit the command
bridge of the ship causing flooding in
the engine room. Now, no crew members so
far have been hurt. Turkey condemned the
attack and sent rescue forces to the
scene. London police did a quick U-turn
this week. They are back arresting
Palestine Action protesters. A court had
ruled the government's ban on the group
was unlawful. So, police briefly stopped
making arrests but now while the
government appeals that that ruling, the
ban stays in place and so do the
arrests. Palestine Action is a UK
protest group known for vandalizing
factories tied to Israeli defense
companies.
Senator Bill Cassidy like they just did
recently they burned an entire Elbit
system. They just poured gasoline over
it, broke it and burned and caused a
fire. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
is now warning New York City Mayor Eric
Adams
that federal public health funding could
be at risk for him. Cassidy is demanding
to know whether city taxpayer money went
towards programs or events that promote
anti-Israel positions and who authorized
it.
40 days into a partial government
shutdown, the TSA is now warning that
airports across the country could be
forced to close. Trump the Trump
administration is sending 500 ICE agents
to JFK, LaGuardia Airport and in New
York and
well partly in response to Mayor Eric
Adams' refusal to cooperate with federal
immigration enforcement and also the
agent got 2 days of training for before
being stationed in security lines in the
airports to help check IDs. President
Trump praised the move and says the
National Guard could be next. Houston's
airport has been hit especially very
hard with these lines.
Trump also announced that Mark Wayne
Mullin the new Secretary of Homeland
Security will be is instructed to use
some sort of fund from the Treasury
Department to pay TSA officers who stay
at work. Elon Musk offered to pay the
TSA agents but the offer was rejected.
The White House said there are legal
issues because he has so many government
contracts already.
In the Senate, there is still no deal to
end the shutdown.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
proposed reopening the Department of
Homeland Security and paying TSA workers
but his plan included limits on how ICE
can spend its money. Senate Majority
Leader John Thune
shut it down immediately saying it's not
even close to being real. Thune plans to
bring its own his own bill to the floor
floor today, one that would fund the
TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard while
putting ICE funding off for a separate
vote later this year. That bill is
expected to fall short of 60 votes it
needs to pass. Senator Lindsey Graham
said he thought a deal
well he thought a deal had already been
reached and then watched it fall apart.
He warned on Wednesday people are get
going to get hurt because of our fights.
New Jersey Governor Mickey Sherrill
signed a new law that bars ICE agents
from wearing face coverings while on
duty.
The law also requires ICE agents to show
identification before they can even
detain anyone. She is teasing or testing
Trump's patience.
We reported on Wednesday about this and
now we have some more updates. As we
told you, families of the victims of the
2001 bombing in the
Sbarro Sbarro pizza shop bombing
received a payout this week connected to
the skyscraper right on 5th Avenue in
Manhattan. Here is a big picture. Back
in the time of the Shah in Iran, an
Iranian organization owned a 36-story
office building on 5th Avenue. When the
Islamic Revolution happened in 1979, the
building passed to the Iranian
government, the current Iranian
government which is now dead obviously.
For decades, Iran hid its ownership
through fake shell companies and quietly
collected hundreds of millions of
dollars in rent while Iran backed
terrorists
were carrying out attacks in Israel and
around the world.
Families of victims sued Iran in
American courts. Iran owes those
families an estimate of $5 billion
and they have been they have seen very
little of it. Now, US Attorney Jay
Clayton announced a deal years in the
making. The building was now transferred
to an American group and the money is
going to straight to those families. A
total of $318 million was awarded. The
first payment $129 million already went
out this week. The remaining $189
million will be paid over the next 3
years. Los Angeles jury just ordered
Google and Meta to pay $6 million in
damages. The jury found that YouTube and
Instagram were designed to be addictive
and that this caused real harm to
children.
The jury ruled that both companies
deliberately designed their apps to keep
kids hooked and now they are paying for
it. Experts say this could unlock
thousands of similar lawsuits already
waiting in court across the country.
Plans to build a massive Islamic
community in Texas have been officially
shut down. Developers had been trying to
build what they call Epic City in
Kaufman County, a project critics warned
would become a legally isolated Sharia
city.
The Texas Attorney General stepped in
and canceled the project entirely. FBI
Director Kash Patel announced that a
brother and sister have been
have been indicted after an improvised
explosive
a homemade bomb was found outside
MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, home
to CENTCOM and US Special Operations
Command. The sister is in custody for
evidence tampering while her brother,
the primary suspect on explosive
charges, has fled to China.
The US military struck and sank a drug
smuggling boat in the Caribbean
yesterday killing four cartel members.
No Americans was were hurt.
An American Airlines flight made an
emergency landing.
Well, yes, at Newark Liberty
International Airport Wednesday night
last night. Flight 1461, a 737 Max
flying from Charlotte from Charlotte to
Newark
had a malfunctioning nose landing gear
and a blown front tire. Emergency
vehicles responded on the tarmac. No
injuries were reported. This comes just
days after the deadly incident on a
nearby in a nearby airport LaGuardia on
Sunday night, a regional Air Canada jet
which collided with a Port Authority
vehicle, a fire truck on the ground at
LaGuardia Airport killing both pilots,
the co-pilot and pilot. Things are
getting weird on the official White
House social media accounts since last
night, my friends. Posts, random posts,
weird abstract posts, black pages,
nothing. With a ding of an iPhone ring,
the White House page
on X has also started posting mysterious
abstract images like this one for for an
example with it looks like Trump. Not
sure what he's doing.
Is it hidden messages or codes? Can
anyone decipher this? Anyway, no one
seems to know what this means or if it
has any ties to the ongoing conflict.
And finally, President Trump had a few
jokes over the last 24 hours about his
future job prospects.
But first, let's talk about Protobit.
Protobit is there for you when you need
them. Protobit 845-335-3343.
They build software, custom software.
And Klega, if you ever need Klega to be
a little bit Klega to to join in all
your, you know, applications in one. You
pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a
month to all these CRMs and and and and
applications that keep your project
management, um, you know, a flow as they
call it. And of course, um, WhatsApp,
emails, ch- all kind of different chats
