00:28:41We are fighting for justice. We're fighting for human rights. We are fighting for liberty.
00:28:47We're fighting to put an end to all sorts of discrimination. Because as an Iranian,
00:28:54I stand here to tell you that I've dedicated 47 years of my life because I think that my country
00:29:01deserves far better than what we have right now now understand that their best remedy is to support

00:29:20stability and peace but it will be in your best economic interest and opportunities together we
00:29:27can prosper again and the world will be so different once the Iranian people are free.

00:29:51the fate of our country through a democratic transparent process through the ballot box and
00:29:58free elections and let's make sure that this time especially the free nations of this world and
00:30:06their governments stand on the right side of history well to root patriots good morning good

00:30:44going on in the last three to four days. So get settled in because I'm doing two live streams
00:30:52literally back to back tonight, back to back. So this is the first one. And then of course,
00:30:58I'm going to get into the second one in about four hours from now at 7pm Eastern time. And we're
00:31:08going to dive into all the interviews that President Trump has had. We're going to dive
00:31:13into the very spicy interview by Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bassett. And of course,
00:31:23we're going to talk about President Trump's truth regarding J.D. Vance. But that is for
00:31:30later tonight on The Goldie Show. This is Iran Revolution Live, where we focus specifically and
00:31:37exclusively on the Iranian people and their fight for freedom and democracy against the terrorists
00:31:43and illegitimate Islamic regime, and there is a lot to talk about. As always, let me know in the
00:31:49live stream chat where you're tuning in from. If you're part of our amazing video rewatch crew,
00:31:55let me know in the video comments below. Okay, let's get started. By the way, happy Friday the
00:32:0313th, and Shabbat Shalom to everyone who is observing. Wishing you all a great Shabbat.
00:32:10very, very envious because Shabbat dinners are the best. Oh, we have Finland in the house.0.99
00:32:17Amazing. Finland and Romania. Look at that. Wow. Where else do we have? East Tennessee.
00:32:28Love the hoodie. Yeah, guys, it's literally hoodie season. So I mean, the hoodie is from
00:32:34my merch store. So you can get this hoodie on my merch store. Guys, all the merch that I
00:32:40sell i i get it myself as well just so that i can test it out and make sure um it's good quality so
00:32:47yeah like this is like one of the comfiest hoodies i have and i got it like a while ago but you can't
00:32:53really wear a hoodie in the summer because it's too hot but now that it's cold i'm like yes it's
00:32:58finally hoodie season oh wow we have netherlands and we have austria amazing amazing oh we have
00:33:07Iran. Durut Besharafet. Durut Besharafet. Thunder Bay. Thunder Bay, Ontario in the house. Florida,
00:33:16South Carolina. The Roman Empire. What is that? That's not the Vatican. That would be what? Italy?
00:33:24Italy? There you go. You know what? I love how Americans are just like, oh, no, no, we're not
00:33:29going to say the USA. We're going to give our states. So I love that. I love that about Americans.
00:33:33But you know what? It kind of makes sense because America is such a huge country that each state really has its own sort of distinct identity and distinct culture.
00:33:44So I love that. I love that. Thank you all. Really appreciate that.
00:33:49All right. OK, so let's get started. We're going to start off with some news from the Queen of Iran, Her Imperial Majesty Yasmin Pahlavi.
00:34:01And the Shah and the Shah Banu of Iran recently visited Auschwitz in Poland.
00:34:11And they have a number of videos out there.
00:34:13So I want to start off with some of the videos here because there's a lot of...
00:34:24The reason that I call the Islamic regime modern day Muslim Nazis is because the similarities between Nazi Germany and the current Islamic regime occupying Iran are very, very close.0.94
00:34:40And that's one of the reasons that I actually visited Germany. I was visiting a number of concentration camps and a number of museums and Holocaust memorial sites because I wanted to understand more about Nazi Germany, even though I already know a lot about Nazi Germany, but I wanted to go and experience it and learn about it firsthand in Germany.
00:35:05because I think that's sort of, you know, one of the best ways to to learn about this. And
00:35:11all I can say is I was right. I was right all along. But anyways, let's start with
00:36:32This is a surprise when most people did � envie of privacy but they did a strong effect.
00:36:41When witnessing their people had no candied説 of life hoade the truth is the key to death.0.74
00:36:52In the same way that the Nazi crimes have been held, we will be able to support the victims and victims of the people of Iran in the power of justice.
00:37:16This time I'm going to read the subtitles for those who aren't able to, for those who are just listening and can't look at the, read the subtitles.0.57
00:37:28So the title is called Those Who Ordered and Carried Out the Massacre of the Iranian People Will Face Justice Just as the Nazi Criminals Did.
00:37:46And so this is, let me just share. So this is the Shah Banu, Yasmin Pahlavi. And this is, of course, the Shah of Iran, his imperial majesty, Erza Pahlavi.
00:38:01and that guys you might know him might recognize him that's Cameron Han Han
00:38:07Sarania he is the chief of staff to his or his Imperial Majesty and I've
00:38:14shared a number of interviews with Cameron before as well
00:38:23so the caption starts standing on this hallowed ground is profoundly painful
00:38:31As I stand here, I think of the innocent victims of Auschwitz, and also of our compatriots
00:38:41who lost their lives in the massacre of January 8 and 9.
00:38:50These two tragedies are historically distinct, but they share one fundamental truth.
00:38:59When a government treats human life as worthless, there is no limit to the crimes it will commit.
00:39:09Just as the Nazi criminals were brought to justice, one day we too will bring those who
00:39:16ordered and carried out the massacre of the Iranian people to justice so that's
00:39:30the video. Incredibly haunting, incredibly relevant. Okay, so now I want to go next0.53
00:39:48to an interview from the Chief of Staff to his Imperial Majesty Zaha Halabi where
00:39:56he's warning in an interview with Newsmax that the Islamic regime's threat is not limited to the
00:40:03Iranian people and uh this is Cameron so we actually just saw Cameron um so in the previous0.53
00:40:10video this is Cameron right here that's that's Cameron so Cameron uh is basically um his imperial
00:40:18Majesty's right-hand man. He goes everywhere that the Shah goes and doesn't leave his side. And
00:40:26one of the Shah's most trusted advisors. And all I can say is that we are so incredibly lucky and
00:40:35blessed to have someone like Cameron as the Chief of Staff to His Royal Highness or His Imperial
00:40:44Majesty. So let's see what Cameron had to say on Newsmax. Joining me this morning to discuss this
00:40:54further is the Chief of Staff to exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pavlavi, Cameron Conserenia.
00:41:01Cameron, great to see you again. Lots to chat about, but I want to get your reaction to Treasury
00:41:06Secretary Scott Besant reportedly being relocated to a military base following Iranian threats
00:41:11against his life. Does this surprise you? Tracy, it's good to be with you. No, it doesn't surprise
00:41:17me at all. Look, I want to be very clear for the audience, because this is often characterized
00:41:22differently in the media. When the Islamic Republic chants death to America, it's not
00:41:27kidding. It doesn't mean that it wants a change in U.S. policy. It literally means that it wants
00:41:33to kill Americans. Now, that goes from the very top of President Trump and his cabinet,0.94
00:41:39including Secretary Besant, to everyday Americans. This regime, unlike the people of Iran, who are0.99
00:41:45very pro-American and who recall very fondly the days that America and Iran were allies0.95
00:41:50and want that again, this regime wants to kill Americans. It has done so across the Middle East0.92
00:41:55for decades. It views the Trump administration as having humiliated it after eliminating the
00:42:02arch-terrorist Qasem Soleimani and so many other regime officials like Ali Khamenei, the three-plus
00:42:08decade dictator of Iran. So no, I'm not surprised, and I don't think that Americans should be0.99
00:42:13surprised. And I think that beyond that, the American public should understand what a threat
00:42:18this regime is to the very foundations of the American republic, to American democracy,
00:42:23and to American citizens. Wherever it can and by whatever means it can, this regime,
00:42:28as long as it stays in power, will try to kill Americans, from elected officials to everyday0.60
00:42:34citizens. So the problem of the regime in Iran is not just a problem of the Middle East,
00:42:39it's an American problem, because they will do whatever they can to injure, harm, and murder0.98
00:42:44Americans. By the way, guys, if you didn't see this, so this is Pizishkian, that's the puppet1.00
00:42:53president of the Islamic regime. Is that Erdogan? That looks like Erdogan. But this is the UN
00:43:02Secretary General. So when I say that the United Nations is a corrupt garbage organization and we1.00
00:43:08need to defund the UN, this is exactly why. This is exactly why. Because the United Nations0.99
00:43:13has strayed so far from its purpose, it's disgusting.
00:43:20And it is incredibly frustrating to see that the United Nations,
00:43:28you know, 30% of American taxpayer dollars goes to the United Nations.
00:43:32And this is what the United Nations does.0.69
00:43:34They literally support Islamic terrorists, right?0.81
00:43:39So there's Fizishkian, the puppet president of the Islamic regime.0.81
00:43:44There's Erdogan, who's essentially Muslim Brotherhood.0.85
00:43:47And so, you know, two totalitarian dictatorships that essentially want to destroy the United States and destroy Western civilization.0.66
00:43:57And here you have the UN Secretary General standing proudly next to them.
00:44:03Because, by the way, this guy, he's like a pure commie.
00:54:29And then Jabod Zarif, this Durka here, where is he? Oh my gosh. Honestly, like every time I zoom in, like I just get so disgusted. It's like just zooming in on their faces is so nasty.0.91
00:54:43anyways but then but then in the video you'll see Jabod Zarif and so on the boom boom jihad
00:54:50bingo sheet right now he's part of former officials slash influential figures because
00:54:55at the time that the interview came out he was the foreign minister and his English is pretty good
00:56:54sorry guys let me just see yeah x is having some issues i guess wow
00:57:24wow okay yeah my stream is down on x and um i'm having some issues connecting to x oh that's a
00:57:34shame all right wait let me just post um a message let me just let me just post a quick comment on x
00:57:44let me just do something really quick sorry I have no idea why this is happening but
00:58:09technical difficulties. I wish we had like a technical difficulty song. That would be kind
00:58:15of cool if we did. Right. There we go. Copy. Okay. And let me just quote tweet this and I'll post the
00:58:34same thing all right okay sorry X I apologize to everyone who's watching on
00:58:42X because I know I have I have a lot of viewers on X like thousands and
00:58:49thousands of viewers on X who tune in but unfortunately there's like some sort
00:58:54of technical difficulty right now so I apologize for that but I digress so so
00:58:59getting back to what I was speaking about. So when his imperial majesty is speaking about
00:59:06the Holocaust denial, this silver-tongued Durka is so good at Takiyah that he is literally able0.92
00:59:15to fool Western media and he fooled Western media. And this was at a time when many of us0.91
00:59:21did not really have access to YouTube or social media. So he was able to blatantly lie. And
00:59:29So here's the video that I'm speaking about. So for those of you who are following along on the Boom Boom Jihad, Boom Boom Durka Jihad Bingo Sheet, we're about to see Javad Zarif in action.
00:59:43And he is going to blatantly, blatantly, he is going to blatantly deny that Khamenei, Haver Margesh, said that the Holocaust is a myth.
00:59:59And by the way, this translation that you see at the bottom, that's my direct translation.
01:00:11So I am personally translating what Chomenei, Chavarimagish, is saying in Persian into English.
01:00:20So this translation is 100% accurate and legitimate.
01:00:27This is how the Islamic regime continues to fool Western officials because they will rely on the fact that Westerners don't speak Persian so they don't actually know what's going on.0.96
01:00:57Okay, so this is really important. This is a very important word to learn. He says afsaneh. Afsaneh means myth. Okay, so, um, okay.0.92
01:01:17let me just share this really quickly so he says afts on it afts on it you know legend or myth
01:01:34okay so that's a very very important word khamenei literally says afts on it
01:01:42so that's referring to something that is you know a myth or a legend or you know basically
01:01:54something that's not based in reality something that's not based in reality okay so basically
01:02:03fiction he says f's on it this is very if there's one persian word that i want you guys to learn
01:02:11today, it's afsane. And that's pronounced afsane. Okay. Afsane, which means legend or myth.
01:02:27So now going back to the video. Where is it? Here we go. So basically he says
01:02:40the Afsaneh, which means the legend, the legend or the myth of the massacre of the Jews known as
01:02:50the Holocaust. So Khamenei is literally referring to the Holocaust as a myth, a myth or a legend,
01:02:58basically fake. Okay, keep that in mind. Keep that in mind as we continue.
01:03:10can only damage the politicians against each other,
01:03:13it is not allowed to enforce the cause of the Jewish people
01:22:09some U.S. military members about the Islamic regime.
01:22:19So I don't want to give too many details away, but there you go.
01:22:23There you go. No, no, no. It's none of the names. It's none of the names that you're saying in the
01:22:26live stream chat. It's none of the names that you're saying. But yeah, that's kind of cool.
01:22:31that's kind of cool and you know what that for me
01:22:34is actually really really motivating and it encourages me to like um work even harder because
01:22:43this is exactly the point of doing all of this is to make the world aware and to let people know
01:22:52that iran is not the islamic regime and we iranians we're not terrorists so who knows
01:23:00Who knows? Yeah, I know. Push-ups. Push-ups. I know. I know. But I already looked into it. This guy's legit. This guy's legit. Listen, I've already done all of my background research on this person. It's super legit. Don't worry. Listen. Listen.
01:23:20when everything is, guys, don't worry. When everything is confirmed, I will give all of you
01:23:26all of the info and details so that you guys can also do your own background check. So all I'm
01:23:34saying is, don't worry. I'm not going to just, I don't, I don't randomly go places. I don't
01:23:39randomly go places. Um, but it's all good, but, uh, very, very interesting stuff. But all I can
01:23:45say is that um apparently there are certain people who actually do watch the live stream and
01:23:52i'm sitting here and i'm like oh my gosh i talk about like the boom boom jihad bingo sheet and i
01:23:58talk about like boom booms and like qqs and qqs so there you go but uh all i can say is that
01:24:05this is very encouraging because it um lets me know that um the message is getting out there
01:24:12and we're making a difference. All of us Iranians don't get kidnapped. Don't worry. I won't get
01:24:18kidnapped. Don't worry. Don't worry. I won't get kidnapped. Don't worry. Don't worry. I will let
01:24:25the FBI know where I am at all times. All good. All good. Yes. Yes. Oh, I will. I will. Ooh,
01:24:36how did they hack Aaron? Ooh, that's crazy. You need to let me know what happened with Aaron.
01:24:42Molen. I should look that up. That's crazy. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. I'll check. Don't worry. It's all good. Like I said, I have the FBI on speed dial. It's all good. I have the FBI on speed dial. If I hadn't already sort of like vetted them, I wouldn't even be mentioning it right now. But it's a cool, cool experience and looking forward to that.
01:25:03So. Yeah, they're watching me from the situation room and I'm just like, boom, boom, boom, boom, jihad bingo sheet. There you go. So there you go. That's oh, my gosh. Kitty, remember, I fooled all of you guys. Oh, my gosh, that was so funny. So funny.
01:25:27the iced tea I know I fooled all of you guys when I made you think that iced tea does not exist in
01:25:34Canada too funny but uh I digress okay so let's get to some more breaking news um so you know I
01:25:45was literally just speaking about how you know we Iranians were literally all Allahu Akbar jihad
01:25:51and out right like we just were we're done with the Allahu Akbar we're done with the jihad
01:25:55We just want a normal, peaceful, democratic, secular country.
01:34:08Um, so that was his, uh, you know, clips of his speech from receiving the award and also afterwards at, um, afterwards at the actual, uh, you know, after show, let's say after show.
01:34:25um now the award speech is available but it's it's only in um german which like i'm still
01:34:38trying to find the english version of his royal highness's speech let me see is this
01:34:46yeah so i i only have like an ai generated version of of his royal highness's speech
01:34:57i'm trying to find like the original audio um so that i can just translate for you guys because
01:35:06there's like a weird youtube ai generated thing um so i i'm not going to play his his um speech
01:35:16just yet because i want to find like the good the good quality version um but
01:35:28there's one more thing i want to share here where is it
01:35:33the word speech yeah the word speech is is just like a weird it it's so it's in german and then
01:35:40And YouTube is like auto translating the German translation from English back into from from German to English. So I'm trying to find the actual, the actual speech there. But I digress. So when I get the full speech, I'll absolutely share that with all of you. But I wanted to share some footage of Iranians.
01:36:10in Frankfurt. Because anyone who thinks that the revolution is over has absolutely no clue
01:36:20and no idea about what is actually going on. And I want to start off with
01:36:27with one of my own videos. Now, if you recall, many of you started following me because of my
01:36:37Iranian here videos that I started, you know, it was a whole series that I started, um, about a
01:36:45year and a half ago, uh, before I started live streaming on YouTube. So, um, I want to share
01:36:52this video with you guys. Okay. I will get, I thank you so much. Um, I will get to, you know
01:37:00what, let me get to the super chats first, and then I'll continue with, um, with the rest of

01:37:30much better the challenge is when you know you have a cold and you basically have to speak
01:37:40and then you know your cold prevents you from speaking it's a challenge but i'm feeling much
01:37:45better great to be back and um i actually can't wait for tonight's live stream so listen i i have
01:37:54a lot of fun with Iran Revolution Live. But I mean, my bread and butter is geopolitics. My bread

01:38:11I took yesterday off. I was like, guys, I just need to rest. Let me just sleep this off because
01:38:17there's so much to talk about, and we are going to go through so many interviews later tonight.
01:38:25Like, it's going to be a long night, so just, you know, get settled in, but it's going to be a lot
01:38:29of fun. But thank you, KP. Really appreciate that. Pushup says, heads up, Kings and Generals
01:38:36released part three of their military history of the Iran-Iraq war. They are at the mid-80s,
01:38:44where ceasefire was rejected. Well, I mean, the Iran-Iraq war was basically started by Khomeini
01:38:51Khabar Margesh. And then, you know, like Saddam Hussein is not exactly a saint either. Like I
01:38:59despise Saddam Hussein, right? Like I hate Saddam Hussein. But when the Shah of Iran was still
01:39:06around, Saddam Hussein behaved because Saddam Hussein was terrified of the Shah of Iran.0.89
01:39:10When the Durkhas came into power, you know, and then they tried to, you know, aloha akbar, jihad, Saddam Hussein, that's when Saddam Hussein, you know, went in and started, you know, trying to take land away.0.50
01:39:23But the Iran-Iraq war basically started because of Khomeini Khabar-Imagish, and I've shared documentaries about that.0.97
01:39:31And Khomeini Khabar-Imagish even tried to start a war with Saudi Arabia as well.0.99
01:39:37So, yeah, the Islamic regime, literal garbage. But, you know, it's basically like Durka versus Durka infighting, right? But, yeah, like Saddam Hussein would have never dared to threaten the territorial integrity of Iran when the Shah was in power because the Shah of Iran was the superpower in the Middle East.0.98
01:40:00so you know you can thank uh you know jimmy carter and the democrats you can thank france you can
01:40:04thank um the uk and you know you can also thank uh russia and you can also thank yasser arafat0.57
01:40:11and the balestinians for turning iran into a third world islamic hellhole so yeah but um0.87
01:40:20um and you know i i literally have family members direct family members who lost their
01:40:26lives in the Iran-Iraq war. Guys, keep in mind, I was born in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war.
01:40:33I was born in Ahwaz, in the province of Khuzestan, in 1985. Khuzestan was one of the regions,
01:40:43you know, where the Iran-Iraq war was happening. So I was literally born while there were like,
01:40:50you know, air sirens and, you know, ballistic missiles and, you know, boom-booms and everything
01:40:54happening. So yeah, I'm basically a child of war. I was born in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war
01:41:01in Ahmaz. There you go. So yeah, and I've actually, you know, visited Iran in the past before I
01:41:09became politically active. And I saw all of the war damage and stuff. So yeah. Yeah. War is
01:41:16terrible. Four is terrible. Russ says, I'm happy to support this channel down at the IRGC watching

01:42:19to anyone and to speak my truth, which is the truth of 90 million Iranians fighting against
01:42:27the Islamic regime. Krisa says, forgetting and denial are one thing. Knowing the history and
01:42:36still supporting genocides are downright insidious. Yeah, I agree. You know what? That's a very good
01:42:41point. This is exactly why I don't support Palestine, because Palestinians know the history.1.00
01:42:49Palestinians know the history of the Holocaust, and yet Palestinians still support the genocide0.99
01:42:56of the Jewish people, and Palestinians still, you know, support the genocide of the Iranian people.0.99
01:43:05So, yeah, this is why I think Palestine is garbage and Palestine shouldn't exist.0.98
01:43:11And if you were trying to do a double entendre there, well, you know what?1.00
01:43:15You're an idiot because Palestinians are the terrorists.1.00
01:43:19It was Palestinians who went all Allahu Akbar jihad on Jewish people on October 7.1.00
01:43:26And it was Palestinians who were out in the streets going, Allahu Akbar jihad.0.76
01:43:31By the way, it was also the Palestinians who, on 9-11, went out to the streets and they were like, Allahu Akbar, and they were, you know, celebrating the murder of 3,000 Americans by, you know, Muslim terrorists.0.98
01:43:46So, yeah, yeah, I agree. Right. So the fact that Palestinians know the history of genocide, but they still support genocide is downright insidious. And that's why I think that, you know, Palestine is fake and shouldn't exist.0.98
01:44:03And they can go back to Jordan or they can go back to Egypt or they can go back to, I don't know, Saudi Arabia or whatever hellhole they came from.1.00
01:44:13Right. Because that entire area belongs to Israel. It belongs to the Jewish people.0.97
01:44:18So thank you for your super chat. Thank you for confirming that Palestinians support genocide and it's downright insidious.1.00
01:44:25I 100 percent agree. The major says the contagion is spreading. Start backing up your stuff now.0.97
01:44:32Oh, I think you're referring to the issue that I had on X.
02:00:42now let me get to the footage because this is actually insane it's literally literally insane
02:00:52like one of the most insane things that i've ever heard in my life um and it's actually very very
02:01:00shameful that this happened so um let me start off with this message from um her imperial uh
02:01:09Majesty Yasmeen Pahlavi, the Shah Banu of Iran, and of course the wife of his Imperial Majesty,
02:01:16Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. So this is her message that she put out a day before the event.
02:01:25Hi, I'm Yasmeen Pahlavi. Something deeply troubling is happening in Germany,
02:01:30and it should concern every person who values freedom. This Saturday, my husband Reza Pahlavi
02:01:37will be in Frankfurt to accept the Freedom Prize on behalf of the Iranian people. And yet,
02:01:43the Frankfurt police have officially informed us that we cannot attend or speak at the rally,
02:01:50and that they will prevent us from doing so. Why? Not because we've broken any laws,
02:01:58not because we pose a danger to anyone, but because the Islamic Republic has threatened0.85
02:02:03violence against us. The police have told us that if my husband attends the Islamic Republic
02:02:10may retaliate by targeting innocent people in the crowd. Think about that.
02:02:18A foreign regime threatens violence against innocent civilians
02:02:21and the response is to silence the very people it wants to intimidate.
02:02:27Of course, protecting the lives of rally participants is essential, and I want to make something
02:02:34very clear. We have enormous respect and gratitude for the men and women in law enforcement
02:02:40who will risk their lives every day to protect others. But respecting law enforcement does not
02:02:47mean we cannot question a decision that appears to be driven by political considerations rather
02:02:52than security alone. Because the fundamental question remains, since when do threats of
02:03:00terrorism determine who is allowed to speak in a democracy? This is precisely what it means to give
02:03:08in to terrorist threats. In Germany, in a democracy, in a country where freedom of expression is a
02:03:16fundamental right, if threats of violence are enough to silence us today, who will be silenced
02:03:22tomorrow. The Islamic Republic has spent decades suppressing the voices of the Iranian people.
02:03:29Are we now going to allow its threats to dictate who can speak on German soil?
02:03:34The Iranian people cannot freely assemble or speak without fear of persecution in their own country.
02:03:40That is precisely why our voices must be heard here. We cannot allow the Islamic Republic to0.99
02:03:46export its repression to Europe. A democracy must protect its people from threats of violence,
02:03:53not surrender their freedoms to those making the threats. Thank you for listening. Hi.
02:04:00So, after this video came out, so actually, let me get to this question. So,
02:04:07Ander is saying, didn't they just award that Freedom Medal? Yeah, so that's exactly the point.
02:04:12So what happened is that when the Frederick Nauman Association was going to award the Freedom Medal to his Royal Highness on, you know, in trust on behalf of the Iranian people, you know, Iranians went there to gather and celebrate.
02:04:32and then the Shah of Iran, he was supposed to speak at a rally afterwards.
02:04:39And the German police, like a day before, sorry, a day before that event was supposed to happen,
02:04:50the German police said that His Royal Highness can't speak at the gathering, not at the award
02:04:58ceremony but he but the german police said or i don't know if it was a german police or the german
02:05:02government but they said he can't speak at the sort of after rally because the islamic regime
02:05:10has threatened um to uh engage in a terrorist attack if reza pahlavi speaks and so they they
02:05:20banned him from speaking so then his wife came out and put out this message and she said you know
02:05:28how is it that the islamic regime can um prevent people from speaking in a free and democratic0.51
02:05:36country you know and so this this video message went viral everyone posted it like i was literally0.81
02:05:44in like war-torn ukraine um with like terrible internet connection and i was you know there's
02:05:50like ballistic missiles going over my head and even i like reposted this video um because that's
02:05:55how important this video was and um and then the german police reversed their decision and then he
02:06:04did actually end up speaking and it was you know it was amazing um but but more so than that um
02:06:11i want to show you how the iranian people responded to uh the threat of the islamic regime
02:06:20threatening to murder them if they showed up for the speech of his royal highness the shah of iran
02:06:26this is also really important because the fact that um the islamic regime is threatening a0.87
02:06:32terrorist attack wherever the shah of iran goes okay um that lets you know who the real threat
02:06:40is to the ex to the islamic regime that lets you know who the legitimate opposition is it's
02:06:47his royal highness reza pahlavi which is what i've been saying for like the last several years right
02:06:54so there is literally no one else no one else no other like fake opposition leader when they
02:07:03go out there and they're like you know talking or whatever the islamic regime doesn't threaten them
02:07:09the islamic regime only threatens the supporters of the shah of iran why because the islamic0.50
02:07:15regime knows that the Shah of Iran is the only legitimate opposition leader. The Shah of Iran0.87
02:07:23is the real threat to the Islamic regime. The Shah of Iran is the one that Iranians have chosen1.00
02:07:30to transition them from an Islamic dictatorship to a functioning secular democratic society.0.93
02:07:39That's why not only do they threaten the Shah of Iran and they threaten his supporters,0.69
02:07:46but on the other hand, they also try to delegitimize him and they try to pretend like he has no support.
02:07:53So they're playing both sides of the game here.
02:07:56They're trying to make it seem as if the Shah of Iran has no support.
02:08:00But at the same time, they're also threatening terrorist attacks wherever the Shah goes.
02:21:02And then he said tomorrow I'll come get you. There you go. So that's that's one video. And let's get to the next video.
02:21:16Um, so now the gathering, the gathering, um, in Frankfurt wasn't supposed to start until like 12
02:21:34o'clock, like 12 noon, essentially. Okay. Um, however, Iranians were literally gathering
02:21:42at 7am so even though the event so even though the event itself
02:21:49was not scheduled to begin until 1 30 in the afternoon this is 7am 7am in frankfurt
02:22:03in front of the in front of the church where the ceremony was being held
02:22:12Okay, so this is one of my favorite chants.0.97
02:22:18So what they're saying here is Magbar Sefasid Mullah Chapi Mojahed, which means death to the three corrupt, Mullah's leftists and communists.0.73
02:22:31So when they say death to the three corrupt, they're referring to the corrupt ideologies.
02:22:36So this is actually a very, very popular and famous pro-revolutionary chant.0.96
02:22:44We Iranians, we chant death to the three corrupt ideologies, Mullahs, which is the Islamists, leftists, which is like the woke progressive left, and communists.0.94
02:23:00And so that's what Iran, so literally at 7 a.m. in Frankfurt, you know, like six, seven hours before the event is even supposed to begin.0.95
02:23:09Iranians are already chanting death to the pre-corrupt.0.92
02:23:25Wait, there's grounded flights in the U.S. All right. You know what?1.00
02:23:28let's let's go to 2c yeah yeah let me tune into 2c thank you guys for letting me know um wow is
02:23:36that new what is that oh shoot okay wait wait wait all right guys um okay let me go back to
02:23:47the beginning and let's watch this together welcome to 2ctv and this is your global news
02:24:04channel we have breaking news coming from the united states as the faa has issued a nationwide
02:24:10ground halt to all flights in the united states there is also an ongoing situation in new orleans
02:24:20as an oil tanker has collided with a river cruise ship we actually have our live feeds from both
02:24:28the u.s airports but also at the same time the situation in the mississippi river now a couple
02:24:36things to mention right now i think there is an update from the united kingdom following a
02:24:47a drone activity at one of the raf bases an update coming in also from the islamic republic of iran
02:24:55uh involving a couple of oil tankers over there uh but uh there is uh there are a few things to
02:25:02go through before we uh start the full live coverage first the statements that we received
02:25:10over the last few minutes uh following the faa issuing a nationwide ground halt with all the
02:25:18flight departures initially halting and now obviously all the others so stay with me because
02:25:27everything's happening at the same time the u.s secretary of transportation sean duffy has
02:25:32issued a statement saying that the faa issued a nationwide ground stop for all u.s airports
02:25:38following a communication issue impacting all air route traffic control centers faa technicians
02:25:45are investigating the issue we will provide immediate updates as we have them for the record
02:25:54This is the first time something like this happened, not voluntarily, since 9-11 in 2001.
02:26:07Now, it's a bit of a chaotic situation, but they have said that you're going to have to wait at least another six hours or so for them to figure out what's going on.
02:26:17There's a lot of people obviously on social media saying it's Friday the 13th and that's the reason, but we don't know.
02:26:25But we also have to talk about what's happened in New Orleans as a river cruise ship, American Heritage, collided with an oil tanker, the tanker Atlantic Asphalt.
02:26:40It was a completely chaotic situation. We have the footage. Let's watch this and then I'll give you some more information on it.
02:32:15There is a, I think what we have is, one second, stay with me because we're getting some more intel on the situation in the United Kingdom and I will stay with that.
02:32:38They're just doing an investigation. At least one of the U.S. military bases near the RAF Lake and Heath has now been placed on lockdown and also on, I think we have the highest military protection level now, right?
02:32:57Yes, FPCON Delta, which is reserved for situations where a terrorist attack is occurring.
02:33:04They have decided to trigger that lockdown.
02:33:10And there is a footage, I believe, of the suspected drone targeting the RAF base.
02:33:21If we could get that read in the next minute, we will get started.
02:33:27okay just what if the aloha akbar jihad is happening right now like this is wild this is
02:33:33wild okay um yeah guys grab a coffee uh get a drink because i feel like we're gonna be here
02:33:41all night because this is absolutely insane right now um yeah i'm i'm watching i'm gonna go make a
02:33:50coffee but uh what in the aloha akbar jihad is happening let's continue and some more reaction
02:33:56from you guys shortly but uh we have some more intel on that okay so uh let me just quickly
02:34:04go to the drone i don't know how clear is it going to be it's a bit dark right now in the uk
02:34:08there we go so yeah there's uh you can see the dots somewhere in the middle um
02:34:16to the right of the tree obviously on the top so if i pause there we go you could just about see
02:34:22the three dots the white dots and so that's that situation in terms of the response based on that
02:34:31incidence the as i said fbcon delta has been declared and at least one or two more bases
02:34:40also being placed on lockdown and we have the local member of parliament nick timothy claiming
02:34:49that the incident will be resolved soon and the locals are saying that the relatives working on
02:34:55the bases are still in lockdown so basically this is the the reaction from the uk establishment is
02:35:01don't worry everything's going to be fine but there are people saying that we we have we have
02:35:05relatives uh currently based at this uh military site and uh they're still under lockdown so then
02:35:12what you're talking about we also have raf feltwell another military base that has been
02:35:18affected sirens also being heard in the second base and the british authorities uh are saying
02:35:27that they will have things under control soon there is no official confirmation why the restrictions
02:35:34are still continuing in those areas and uh i've just received a text message from goldie gomari
02:35:41saying what in the allah akbar jihad is happening in the united states well in this case also the
02:35:47the united kingdom at the same time um i think we're just waiting for a press conference in

02:40:50As the mayor said, we did receive a call today around 12.30 of a vessel elision at the Port of New Orleans.
02:40:58We immediately arrived on scene and began evacuating the passengers that were on the vessel.
02:41:04Unfortunately, as we were in the process of evacuating those passengers, the boat did begin to take on water and it subsequently would capsize.
02:41:14We did have people that were in the water, including two HPD officers who were at the hospital now in good condition.
02:41:21And we began our rescue from there with all of the other partners that you see here.
02:41:26As the mayor said, this was an all hands on deck, and we are grateful for all of the partners that showed up immediately.
02:41:32It definitely made a difference in our rescue efforts to get the rest of those people out of the water.
02:41:37We have set up incident command, myself and Captain Burnham, who's the captain of the port,
02:41:42and we will continue to work this incident together to ensure that we continue to process
02:41:47everything. At this time, it's active and ongoing, so we'll be limited in more information that we
02:41:52give out. I'll turn it over to Captain Burnham. Unclear. Absolutely unclear.
02:41:59Good afternoon. I'm Captain Melanie Burnham. I am the commander of U.S. Coast Guard Sector New
02:42:04Orleans and the captain of the port here. We received information directly after the incident
02:42:09happened at around 12 30 about the collision involving the tanker vessel the atlantic asphalt
02:42:15and the cruise ship american heritage coast guard immediately mobilized response assets including
02:42:20small boats cutters helicopters to assert assist with the search and rescue operations we're
02:42:26working in close coordination with our federal state and local partners the coordination
02:42:30between the responding agencies has been absolutely exceptional you can be very proud
02:42:37of your local responders your federal responders everybody came to the table
02:42:41and we really made that happen together and it's absolutely exceptional our
02:42:45immediate priority still remains the safety and well-being of
02:42:48everyone affected by this response to the incident our focus
02:42:52here for the coast guard will now shift to reopening the river
02:42:55because i did shut down that immediately as soon as we heard about the incident
02:42:59meanwhile our partners are coordinating assistance medical care and other
02:43:02necessary support to all those who have been
02:43:05safely evacuated and that work is still ongoing it's absolutely tremendous the
02:43:09work that they're doing this has been a absolutely amazing interagency effort and
02:43:14I want to recognize the dedication professionalism and bravery of all those
02:43:18first responders that were there on scene and everyone who has been working
02:43:21tirelessly throughout this entire response our thoughts are with everyone
02:43:27impacted by this incident and their families we recognize there's a lot of
02:43:31uncertainty that they're still facing and we remain committed to providing
02:43:35accurate and timely information as soon as it becomes available thank you we have some breaking
02:43:42news I think good afternoon I'm Ann Kirkpatrick the superintendent of police here this truly was
02:43:49a situation in which partnerships that were established a while back actually work we I
02:43:55happen to have been in the 8th district station watching our drone as a first responder it was up
02:44:02in the air as a part of a call for service associated with the theft. And we were able
02:44:07to catch a person who had just engaged in a theft when this call came out. And our drone
02:44:15was immediately able to turn and fly right over the scene within moments. And I was an
02:44:23eyewitness to that. We were able to see that people were in the water. And of course, all
02:44:28the partners immediately came together. I want to thank our partners. We are in a support role
02:44:36as the New Orleans Police Department. Breaking news. And I thank you for your leadership,
02:44:40Chief, Captain Mayor, Governor. I see all of our partners here, but it's a true partnership and
02:44:48it's unique to this state getting things done and it is unique to New Orleans and it's something
02:44:54that we are very proud of so something's happening fruit is there you saw and are witnesses to the
02:45:00fruit of everyone being accounted for it's because of the teamwork thank you governor
02:45:05thank you i first want to thank the press for having some patience with us
02:45:12one of the things that is really important when these types of incidents happen is to making sure
02:45:18that we get the right information to you a lot of times rumors can start abounding we're talking
02:45:24about people's lives we're talking about family members who can't get in touch with other family
02:45:29members and so i really do appreciate your patience um we didn't want to come out here
02:45:34until we had as best of an accurate uh count of of of the number of people that were on the boat
02:45:42the number of people that were covered the number of people in the hospital i want to thank the
02:45:45mayor she's absolutely right the first she made one of the first calls she made was to me i was
02:45:50in Bat Rouge. And my question to her is, what do you need? She gave me a list of things. Hey,
02:45:56these are some things that we think we want. I mean, we called Secretary of Homeland Security,
02:46:00Mark Wayne Mullen, got him on the phone. Not long after that, the president called me as well and
02:46:05just said, Jeff, whatever Louisiana needs, we will make sure that they get. I want to thank the New
02:46:12Orleans Police Department. I want to thank the Port Police, the Fire Department, the Louisiana
02:46:17State Police, the Coast Guard, all of our first responders, Acadian Ambulance, I want you to
02:46:22understand something. This doesn't happen by accident, okay? The amount of work that these
02:46:29people do on a daily basis together, I have spoken volumes about the partnerships that we
02:46:36have developed, both from a local, state, and federal relationship. What happens is, is when
02:46:43those people work every day together these are the kinds of responses i can tell you the mayor
02:46:48is absolutely right this is a miracle it is a literal miracle on the mississippi when you think
02:46:55about the population that was on that cruise ship an ability for us to get them off get them out of
02:47:02the water just in case you know the mississippi river is not some quiet pond right i mean there
02:47:08were challenges out there we are first responders that put their lives ahead of the people that were
02:47:14in the water and we should thank them okay we're going to stay because obviously it's just a
02:47:19political talk uh praising each other but uh another uh breaking uh news uh outage
02:47:25has now been reported at the us national weather service
02:47:30their systems are also experiencing uh problems and uh so that is also ongoing trying to
02:47:38get some more intel on the bot. Okay, there's some more information coming out
02:49:07okay i think that's uh that's california yeah it's california
02:49:15that that feed is going to change so we're just going to put us airports because there's
02:49:19different feeds from there and a couple of new updates for you guys i think the homeland security
02:49:29secretary molan has spoken out saying this is not another 9 11 i just can't repeat that enough
02:49:38this is a telecommunications outage it's this is much different he hasn't really thought for
02:49:45if it's better or worse but uh the nationwide ground stop uh will still remain in place as
02:49:51expected until at least 10 p.m central time and we don't know how long that could get delayed
02:50:01because they don't seem to know exactly what's going on but quick updates uh from uh breton
02:50:08another military base is under lockdown we'll get some more intel on that and what's going on with
02:50:16those situations but in order to make rooms for arrivals we have multiple airports across the
02:50:24United States obviously clearing it takes a couple of hours for more planes to be moved
02:50:30This is in Chicago and I think there is an update coming from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
02:50:42The IRGC have reportedly targeted two oil tankers at the same time.
02:50:50Apparently there has been a communications problem with the US military, the US Navy.
02:50:59This is in the southern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, where the U.S. military obviously are supervising the international vessels, oil tankers that obviously transit through the strait.
02:51:11And the IRGC have somehow successfully managed to hit two tankers.
03:01:28well i i can talk to the bridge dotd has expected and confirmed that the bridge
03:01:40was not hit and as far as i mean most of the people yeah yeah so meg we do have the red cross
03:01:49that's collecting everyone's information i personally have not seen the list of where
03:01:53everyone is from uh but it does not appear that that a big bulk of them are from new orleans so
03:01:59that it appears that they're from out of town i don't have an idea of how long they were in the
03:02:09water and and i'm not sure exactly why the 30 passengers and the two officers were taken to
03:02:16the hospital but once again i just go back to no critical injury winston can someone talk about the
03:02:22FAA grounding all flights and how that may impact the situation so we remain now wanting to go home
03:02:29and then how this makes this all more challenging. You just articulated it right I mean
03:02:36really and truly look that um we haven't seen um a grounding of planes uh at that scale since
03:02:439-11 you know um and it is going to it is going to become challenging that's one of the things
03:02:50that we wanted to make sure that we assured uh the folks in the auditorium the passengers that
03:02:55want his boat that look as long as they want to stay in new orleans um and and as difficult as it
03:03:01may be getting home we want to make them very comfortable and and that is going to be a challenge
03:03:06for us it may take us a couple of days uh to to get them back home i couldn't think of a better
03:03:12place to be than new orleans i don't know about you you know but we are we're going to make sure
03:03:16that they get whatever is necessary and then we try to move them to their their homes as quickly
03:03:24as possible oh yeah no no we're going to look at that you know um that you know again that that is
03:03:33something that we'd offer them uh it may be you know it wouldn't be easier if we'd say oh this
03:03:37whole group came from say delaware or they came from pennsylvania but unfortunately based upon
03:03:42One of the conversations that I've had with the passengers, they seem to be folks that kind of dotted across the United States.
03:03:49So that may be a little challenging, but look, if they want to, if they say, look, we'll take a train back home or a bus back home, we will make those accommodations.
03:03:57And now to get off, can you talk about how that ground stop is impacting the entire state?
03:04:03I mean, yeah, look, I mean, I think it's impacting the entire country.
03:04:07Again, like we haven't seen that type of FAA grounding since 9-11.
03:04:12All I can tell you is that if the FAA says, hey, we want to halt commercial traffic, I'd say no complaints,
03:04:21because whatever they know is in the best interest and the safety of Americans who want to travel via an airline.
03:04:29Last one time, Madam Mayor, Governor, you alluded to and called this to a year ago in Mississippi.
03:04:35How do you think the proximity of where we should have in relation to...
03:04:41have more breaking news for you guys coming from the UK. The Department, the Ministry of Defense
03:04:54in Britain has now said we are coordinating with all relevant parties regarding the reports of
03:05:00unauthorized drone activity at RAF Lakenheath this evening. The United States Air Force
03:05:08security forces personnel responded to the reports and the situation will be resolved
03:05:14we are working closely with them to establish the facts we will provide updates in due course
03:05:21if you missed that moment the sirens went off let's quickly go to that if you're watching
03:05:26from sensitive areas maybe bring down the volume just in case people freak out
03:05:40Okay, quick update from the National Weather Service.
03:18:35okay so people are saying um push-ups is saying everyone get your battery powered radios out
03:18:47just in case i don't know who who reports on the radio i certainly don't but yes if you have
03:18:54battery-powered radios. Go get them. And then Miner Dine says, guys, better go buy bread,
03:19:02eggs, and milk. Not sure why, but those always run out in a panic. I blame French toast. I agree.
03:19:09You know what? I actually today just went and I bought like a dozen eggs. So I'm good with the
03:19:15eggs and I have bread in the freezer. I don't drink milk. I drink almond milk. So I already
03:19:21have like my almond milk in the fridge. So I'm good. I have like a carton of almond milk. I just
03:19:29bought a dozen eggs today and I have bread in the freezer. So I'm good to go. But okay, here's what
03:19:37chat GPT is saying. Let me just, let me just pull this up because yeah, this is wild. This is some
03:19:45crazy crazy things that are happening so uh faa grounds flights nationwide amid and guys this is
03:19:52just chat gpt i haven't done my own um my own independent um investigation because i've just
03:20:02been catching up with the news like all of you so um take take this with a grain of salt but
03:20:07chat gpt is saying faa grounds flights nationwide amid major communications outage the latest
03:20:14reporting confirms that a nationwide air traffic control communications failure has forced the
03:20:19federal aviation administration faa to suspend departures across the u.s the technical cause
03:20:25remains unknown latest developments nationwide shutdown the faa issued its emergency ground stop
03:20:33at approximately 3 54 p.m eastern time citing extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns
03:20:40This is actually in line with what the major said at 4.44 p.m. Eastern where he said, getting chatter about a nationwide comms problem, there may be a large-scale cyber attack starting, back up your stuff.
03:21:03and then it says all 22 regional air traffic control centers affected u.s transportation
03:21:12secretary sean duffy confirmed a comms problem affecting the centers responsible for managing
03:21:19aircraft across american airspace faa technicians are investigating nearly 7 000 flights disrupted
03:21:26flight aware data cited in reporting attributed to reuters indicates that nearly 7 000 flights
03:21:33have been delayed or canceled amid the disruption this figure may change flights already airborne
03:21:38aircraft and flights have generally been allowed to continue toward their destinations
03:21:42international arrivals are being evaluated individually oh my gosh i'm so glad that i
03:21:49came back to canada a few days ago because oh my gosh if i was like stuck wow that would be wild
03:21:57Um, ground stop could extend into tonight. One report says restrictions are scheduled until at
03:22:04least 11 p.m. Eastern, although the FAA has directed aircraft to remain grounded until
03:22:09further notice. And then Chajikfi says, I could not independently confirm a lifting order.
03:22:15Um, is this a cyber attack? There is still no confirmed evidence of a cyber attack,
03:22:20sabotage, or terrorism. Guys, if I had to guess, if I had to guess, I mean,
03:22:24I can't say with certainty, but if I had to make a guess, I would say this is probably Russian
03:22:31hackers. That would be my guess. Russian hackers, either through IRGC or through the CCP.
03:22:39Officials have not identified the underlying cause. Possibilities under discussion include
03:22:46telecoms, equipment, or software failures, but none has been established as the explanation.
03:22:51Why is this significant? The United States has experienced very few comparable nationwide flight groundings. September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks prompted a nationwide aviation shutdown. January 11, 2023, a malfunction in the FAA's NOTAM system grounded domestic departures. And now November 13, nationwide air traffic control comms failure has prompted another emergency ground stop.
03:23:18The incident also raises questions about the resilience of American aviation infrastructure.
03:23:23A September 2026 Government Accountability Office report highlighted significant modernization challenges affecting FAA systems.
03:23:42Bottom line, the confirmed issue is a widespread comms failure, not a confirmed security attack.
03:23:48The biggest unanswered questions are what caused the failure, when departures will fully resume, and how long the disruption will affect airline schedules.
03:23:59So, here is the National Airspace Systems Status.
03:30:23And they're all coming up to this board over here.
03:30:25We want to show you all of these cancellations and delays that you can see on the board right now.
03:30:30You can see all of those crossed out. If you can make out Toronto, Vancouver, constantly flights, just clearly that people are not going to be getting on anytime soon.
03:30:40And that's another question, Brett, that we keep getting is, well, how long is this going to last?
03:30:44And the reality is we don't know, right? Secretary Mullen obviously saying it's not going to be in a matter of an hour that you catch this flight, even if this ground stop is lifted.
03:30:54But in the meantime, people are trying to figure out what they're going to do.
03:30:57One woman we spoke with was trying to catch a flight back home to St. Louis.
03:31:01She said she's been in Los Angeles for the last three days,
03:31:04and she doesn't know what she's going to do
03:31:06because she's already hearing that hotels are completely booked.
03:31:10So it's going to be a long night at the airport for a lot of people here
03:31:13and a lot of people, of course, all over across the country, Brett.
03:31:17So we'll be here all night as this unfolds,
03:31:19and many people eagerly awaiting some news,
03:31:21hopefully some good news about this ground stop, Brett.
03:32:50There are options for those who can afford to get on a train, for example, or maybe get a rental car and make their way up or down the East Coast.
03:32:57That said, we do have a major bottleneck here as well.
03:33:01The traffic over here from downtown on the other side of the Capitol was quite heavy, and the pedestrian traffic, as mentioned, has been quite heavy here inside the building.
03:33:09Now, we do know that there is an FAA update.
03:33:12We are told at last check to expect an advisory update at 11 p.m. Eastern time.
03:33:17And assuming that happens on time, we should have a clear indication of what airports like Reagan and others here along the eastern seaboard might be facing.
03:33:25Fortunately, we don't have weather to contend with here in the nation's capital today.
03:33:28But nonetheless, a lot of pedestrian traffic inside the building.
03:33:33Yeah, that is a long, almost five hours to get that next update, potentially.
03:34:10Well, I was told by a couple of folks here on Capitol Hill that they didn't think that this was anything nefarious as it pertained to terrorism pretty quickly.
03:34:21A lot of times if there's something big like that going on or there's some sort of terrorism threat, we find out about it here on Capitol Hill because this is the seat of government.
03:34:29And a lot of times that information comes out through Capitol Hill.
03:34:33Since I talked to you last time, we've got a couple of new statements here that I think are of importance.
03:34:38We heard from the Republicans on the Commerce Committee last time.
03:34:41This is from Maria Cantwell, the Democrat from Washington State, who is the top Democrat on the Commerce Committee.
03:34:47And she says her team's in contact with the FAA about this nationwide ground stop.
03:34:52She said technology issues related to how planes communicate through primary frequencies, backup frequencies and other issues will be something we'll be reviewing at the Commerce Committee.
03:35:02Mark DeSaunier, he is a senior Democrat on the Aviation Subcommittee.
03:35:07He's a Democrat from Northern California here, and he says that the public deserves transparency and accountability, and he will settle for nothing less.
03:35:15We also have a statement here from Airlines for America, and they say safety is always our top priority, and we are in close communication with the DOT and FAA amid the nationwide ground stop.
03:35:27We appreciate the patience of the traveling public and the dedication of the frontline employees.
03:35:31impacted travelers are encouraged to be in touch with their carriers for real-time updates but
03:35:37again i want to emphasize talking to some of the security folks here on capitol hill some other
03:35:41people who are familiar with uh you know the threat matrices that we deal with uh they pretty
03:35:46quickly didn't think there was anything that we had to worry about from a physical standpoint
03:35:50or something from you know perhaps a cyber you know standpoint but they haven't addressed all
03:35:56that and i want to come back to what i was told pretty early on that they thought that this was
03:36:00initially going to be something limited to just the northeast as far as south as richmond that
03:36:06was going to be the only quadrant of the country affected so you know i might want to come back to
03:36:11that as we get into this investigation and look and see if there was something happening in the
03:36:16northeast or they thought or why they thought in particular this only affected the american
03:36:20northeast and then expanded this across the country right okay uh chad we'll head back for
03:36:26other news out of capitol hill national correspondent brian yenis is at laquardia
