On this episode of After Hours, we talk about the Russian Fit debrief, and what we would like to see Fresh do in the next episode. We also talk about how we went viral and how we are still going viral after all this time.
00:24:06.120We'll kind of kick off with this news first.
00:24:08.320...stage touting a major victory while also facing urgent crises that threaten to overshadow the president meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer today after the U.S. announced a significant trade agreement with the European Union.
00:24:22.600But much of their talk, as Trump himself acknowledged, focused on the humanitarian emergency in Gaza.
00:24:29.520The World Health Organization says malnutrition-related deaths are spiking there this month.
00:25:16.500And that's why so many people also, like, went hard at the Nelk Boys, because he just blatantly lied to them, and they didn't, like, fucking check him on that.
00:25:22.260And the other thing, too, also, that gets people pissed off is that...
00:25:26.460The other thing that pisses people off is that it's, like, just a blatant fucking lie.
00:27:00.480And we're going to talk about that EU deal that they struck as well.
00:27:02.820We're going to cover all the news today, my friends.
00:27:04.600The idea of the British prime minister sort of applying some pressure to the American president, Donald Trump,
00:27:11.420to put some pressure on Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to think harder about what is happening in Gaza and work toward a ceasefire.
00:27:20.860But the president acknowledging those images that we have all seen around the world of starvation, of the children,
00:27:27.140really a direct contradiction to what Netanyahu claimed over the weekend, that there was no starvation.
00:27:34.460So that perhaps was the biggest goal of all for European leaders, particularly British prime minister Keir Starmer,
00:27:41.460to get the American president on one page on his side and vowing to open food centers to try and alleviate some of the pain and suffering there.
00:27:51.120Of course, it's very much an open question.
00:27:53.080The president talked through how difficult it has been to get food on the ground where it is needed there.
00:27:58.840But certainly him acknowledging that is one step closer toward perhaps a policy change.
00:28:19.120Well, the other thing also is that Israel is wildly unpopular right now.
00:28:23.740So this is why they're adding humanitarian aid right now to kind of like, this is what the Israelis do.
00:28:28.460They do a blockade, make it hard for the Gazans, starve them, kill them, whatever it may be.
00:28:33.840When their international community steps in and starts, you know, hitting them hard, they chill out a little bit, let aid come back in.
00:28:40.060Then they slowly resume the bullshit again.
00:28:43.900Or is this a real break from the Netanyahu government?
00:28:47.460Well, we haven't seen a change in policy yet, but I think it's interesting that those comments came after meeting with Starmer, with von der Leyen over the weekend, with European allies who see the Gaza conflict a little differently, obviously, than Bibi Netanyahu, but have maybe had the...
00:29:03.360Macron is the first world leader to, like, really reckon of the G7 to recognize a state of Palestine.
00:29:10.040Everybody else is still too fucking cucked.
00:29:11.960And, obviously, the Israelis are mad as hell for him recognizing Palestine as a state, but it's like, bro, I've said it before, I'll say it again.
00:29:19.500The only way we're ever going to have peace in the Middle East is the Israelis are going to have to make a Palestinian state.
00:35:41.160And then all the way to now where he's saying, I told Bibi Netanyahu that he's going to have to find another way to get hostages returned.
00:35:49.660So whether that progresses even more, we'll see.
00:35:52.200But he did promise to be sending more aid, more food.
00:35:55.500And that's something I know all of us will be watching to see how that's done.
00:35:59.140And the political response you were mentioning about the Republicans and others, the person you cover very closely, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is someone, you know, you look at someone to get their sense on how that wing of the party is responding.
00:36:13.620Yeah, even she's coming out and criticizing Israel, which is fucking incredible.
00:36:40.280And I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene has always been pretty skeptical of the Israeli leadership.
00:36:45.080And, of course, she's pretty isolationist as well.
00:36:47.400So she's always landed on the side of, you know, the U.S. needs to stop, quite frankly, enabling Israel when it comes to the conflict with Hamas.
00:36:58.720But I think now the images, and quite frankly, she's part of that wing who, above all, says we have to protect children from many different things.
00:37:07.680But on this issue, it's protect children from starvation.
00:37:12.000And once the images are of children, then that is something that triggers the core of Marjorie Taylor Greene's politics in ways that get really complicated when we talk about other things.
00:37:23.760But I think this one is much less complicated and puts her on the side of politics where I think a lot of Americans agree with her.
00:37:30.460Again, Donald Trump, we know the imagery is going to have an impact on him.
00:37:35.860And the imagery right now is of not just starving children.
00:38:38.320SickMick says, recently came across your content and message and immediately respected your stance on important current world events and topics.
00:38:48.920So that's my job, guys, is to honestly, I look at it like you guys can come to me and you guys know I don't got a fucking agenda.
00:38:55.820I'm not aligned with any political party.
00:38:58.000I'm just some dude that lets you guys know the truth when it comes to women, lets you guys know the truth when it comes to geopolitics.
00:39:03.260You know, I've been calling out them boys and their power in America for a very long time before it was safe to do so, and I paid the price for that heavily.
00:39:30.120I think the real ones know that, like, I would argue me, Nick, Sneeko, Zerka, we red-pilled an entire fucking generation of dudes on this topic.
00:57:48.180So guys, just so you know, the standard protocol, right?
00:57:50.040Whenever you got a barricaded subject like this is automatically call a SWAT team.
00:57:53.660So it looks like, um, from what it looks like, he shot somebody and ran into a building and barricaded himself in there, which is why we saw those tactical units moving in.
00:58:02.820Um, which is, you know, standard procedure for any, um, you know, active shooter situation.
00:58:09.280Um, so obviously they got the area cordoned off.
01:03:26.540So, from what it looks like, chat, it looks like what we got on the ground basically right now is a Middle Eastern male, allegedly, with a rifle of some kind, whether it's an AR or an AK-47,
01:03:39.360opened fire, struck one or multiple people, and is now barricaded in a building somewhere.
01:03:48.620And the police, it looked like a special team, at least we saw, we saw it here on stream, a special response team has, you know, obviously went into building.
01:03:56.220This is in the area of 345 Park Avenue.
01:19:34.340The person that we saw being, that you saw being carried out of the building is, was taken to New York Presbyterian, which is not far from here at all.
01:19:44.720One of the best hospitals in the world.
01:19:47.020And apparently that person is in bad shape, according to my colleague, Arthur Chan.
01:19:53.060I mean, we can only pray that whoever this person is, that they pull out of this.
01:20:00.200But again, he is hearing from a source that the shooter shot himself, that he is down on the 33rd floor of the building.
01:24:16.240All right, so what they're saying is the building, here's what's interesting.
01:24:32.660The building that this incident happened was the NFL and Bank of America building.
01:24:38.740Security usually, depending on the building, maybe an off-duty NYPD officer working a second job in uniform, maybe in plainclothes.
01:24:47.200But if somebody walks in with a rifle and there's a policeman there, we could certainly see that could be a possible place where a confrontation happened quickly.
01:24:56.920And like you say, unless you have a key to the elevator or knowledge or you're an insider.
01:25:06.340We just got some new information I want to report.
01:25:07.980Jonathan Deenstover, our partners at NBC New York, WNBC, is reporting that he's hearing the active shooter has shot himself on the 33rd floor of the building in question.
01:25:18.580There is also a photo that is being circulated that NBC New York is also showing of a man wearing a suit holding an assault rifle.
01:25:34.000So they're going to have a it's going to take them a second to bring it up as fast as they are.
01:25:38.340But the photo very clearly depicts an individual armed with a long gun, alluding to what I was talking to you about just a few moments ago.
01:26:40.020I want you to walk our viewers through the weapon that we're looking at right here.
01:26:43.260And specifically two things, what we see on the muzzle there and also the type of ammo that we're seeing, the jacket, if you will, on this weapon here.
01:26:53.120Talk to our viewers what you're noticing.
01:29:22.600I'm finding out about a lot of this stuff that you guys are.
01:29:24.860You know, I did hear – it seems like I'm getting conflicting information because some people are saying it was a self-inflicted shot and he's dead, but on the police scanners, they're still saying, you know, that they're trying to clear the 32nd or 33rd floor.
01:29:38.840So I'm not exactly sure yet what's going on.
01:29:41.760I know I could – from what I saw, I saw Fred's already there at the scene as well, and obviously NYPD's, you know, tactical squad is in there.
01:29:49.180Anytime you've got a barricade, a subject is automatically going to go to the squad team.
01:29:51.940So they're probably clearing the place, you know, floor by floor, door by door.
01:29:56.640But I don't know if it's confirmed 100% yet that he shot himself and he's deceased, but I guess we'll see.
01:31:02.900Rifle-totting New York City shooter kills NYPD officer, critically injure two others, before turning gun on himself inside Blackstone, NFL headquarters.
01:31:13.140It sounds like another day in Chicago.
01:31:15.700But notice all the Zionists coming out right now and like booming this, you know, trying to get as much like views and attention to this as possible.
01:31:22.580That's usually automatically how you know it's a false flag event.
01:33:34.180So obviously, anytime you've got a barricaded shooter like this, you know, SWAT team is going to be activated.
01:33:37.700They're going to go in, clear it, floor by floor, room by room, make sure everything is good.
01:33:42.380And then, you know, once they establish that, like they said here, where they founded the cease party, then the investigation is going to begin.
01:33:47.600I assume this is probably going to go to the New York City JTTF, Joint Terrorism Task Force, and FBI is going to run it.
01:33:52.240And, you know, it could go to any agent within that group because the FBI in New York has a big JTTF, multiple groups.
01:34:00.740So it's going to go to one of those squads, and they're going to do the investigation.
01:34:03.380Obviously, they don't have someone in custody, so they're going to try to figure out who he is, where he came from.
01:34:09.160Obviously, search warrants are going to get – they're going to get search warrants for his phone, home, et cetera, see if there's other co-conspirators.
01:34:15.260But FBI is definitely going to take lead on this thing.
01:34:17.560So, Myron, just – sorry, I don't know if it's something with your mic.
01:34:22.640You come in very, very loud and then normal and then loud, normal.
01:34:25.840So I don't know if there's something you can slightly adjust in your mic.
01:34:28.560Like most of it is good, but sometimes you just come very, very loud, and it's kind of hard for them.
01:34:32.000So, guys, viral news, NYC, which does a really good job covering the city, said the cop was shot six times in the back.
01:35:33.700So, yeah, typically when you do these types of investigations and, you know, there's a political – well, JTTF is going to take it no matter what.
01:35:57.760Every federal and state officer typically is assigned to these joint terrorism task forces.
01:36:02.780So it can go to any rep from any of these agencies, but it's going to be done under the auspice of the JTTF, which is obviously housed over at the FBI.
01:36:11.160I guarantee there's going to be search warrants.
01:36:13.420And they're probably drafting search warrants right now as we speak.
01:36:16.560You know, to get all of this stuff looked at and identify co-conspirators.
01:36:20.580That's going to be the number one thing that they're going to look for is to ensure that he was, you know, he doesn't have other co-conspirators and other attacks aren't happening.
01:36:27.180So and I wouldn't be surprised if they're not going to use the FISA courts as well because it's easier to get things through a FISA court than obviously through normal judicial proceedings on the basis of national security.
01:36:35.580So they're 100 percent going to treat this as a as a terrorism case because it also allows them quite a bit more latitude to get things done even faster.
01:36:43.660I'm kind of curious. I mean, doesn't New York have like one of the strongest gun laws in the country?
01:36:50.620I mean, how does a gun I mean, if the six shots in the back, that that's quite a lot.
01:36:56.180And we saw how big the gun was that he was walking into it.
01:37:01.320I mean, from your opinion, like I'm just curious traveled.
01:37:04.500So he could have easily traveled from out of state.
01:37:06.900Right. He could have driven in from another state that has more lax gun laws or maybe he procured the weapon beforehand and has just been kind of waiting.
01:37:13.760So New York does have pretty strict gun laws, but you can just drive into the city at any time from anywhere.
01:37:19.520You know, New York City, there's a bunch of states around it that have more lax gun laws that he can go ahead and get a hold of a firearm there and just drive in.
01:37:26.860With with the fact that it was six shots in the back that we know for sure from the officer.
01:37:31.740I mean, like that would imply that it was probably more than just like a handgun.
01:37:35.880Like what type of gun do you think it might have been?
01:37:38.100They're saying it's an AR-15 from what I've been told in the picture I saw.
01:37:41.360They're saying that the guy went in with a rifle.
01:37:50.620A basic AR-15, which is like which is a rifle that, you know, is commonly used in the military.
01:37:54.600It's going to be there's so many there's a lot of different companies that make our errors, but it's a standard assault rifle, AR-15, 30 rounds magazine.
01:38:06.820They're actually surprisingly easy to shoot.
01:38:09.440You know, it's easier to shoot an AR than it is to shoot a handgun.
01:38:12.040You know, because a lot of times they have red dots on them or you can, you know, I would assume he probably has a EOTech or something like that.
01:38:17.900You can even use iron sights, but they're actually surprisingly easy to shoot compared to a handgun.
01:38:23.080So we are getting reports just really quick.
01:38:27.980Yeah, we do have a quick update that at least six people now, the number has gone up to six people that have been shot.
01:38:33.800Supposedly, this has been reported by Scootercast or New York, an AR-15 style rifle and later.
01:39:13.740Obviously, you're going to have a guy looking at the body, trying to pick up any pocket trash from the body, whether it's what was in his pockets, what was in his phones.
01:39:20.460You're going to start dumping the phones immediately.
01:39:22.320You're going to start writing search warrants for everything, figure out where the guy lives.
01:39:25.640Let's say he lives out of state. You're going to contact that FBI field office.
01:39:28.620Hey, I need you guys to go do a drive by, secure the house.
01:39:32.700I'm going to go ahead and start drafting up a search warrant for the house.
01:39:35.360Then you've got another agent drafting that up to probably on the phone at the USA's office right now, depending on wherever the house is located.
01:39:42.240Let's say the house is located hypothetically in Connecticut.
01:39:44.480We're going to contact, you know, the FBI field office out of New Haven.
01:39:47.600Hey, you know, we got an address here.
01:39:50.460It's in your AOR, a.k.a. your area of responsibility.
01:39:53.820You know, an agent from that area is going to start drafting up a search warrant based on the facts that you provide them.
01:39:58.980And then they're going to start obviously going out there, securing the area, put a, you know, a perimeter.
01:40:04.460And then, you know, as soon as that thing is signed by the judge, they're going to hit that door and go in.
01:40:07.960So right now, as we speak, I'm very confident that is what the feds are doing is executing search warrants to ensure that there's no one else involved or any other co-conspirators.
01:41:13.740Do you think we're going to learn some information?
01:41:15.720Obviously, all the talking heads from New York State Police, New York City Police, Commissioner, someone from D.C., all are going to be speaking there with one voice.
01:41:27.080But will we learn a lot of information from the first press conference or will it be just a little to a lot?
01:41:36.400You know, they'll probably, you know, depending on if it matters or not, they may or may not identify the shooter.
01:41:41.700Depending on, you know, what they're finding right now as we speak, obviously, it's developing.
01:41:45.920So they're kind of going to have to all get on the same page and disclose some things versus not disclosing other things, obviously, since it's an active case.
01:41:53.280And obviously, they don't want evidence getting destroyed if there are co-conspirators.
01:42:04.500They're running this guy through every single database they have.
01:42:06.780They're checking his travel, seeing where he might have went, figuring out who his family members are.
01:42:10.620They're probably going out to interview his family members right now as we speak.
01:42:14.680You know, they're going to see what they're going to do a complete deep dive on this guy right now from multiple different angles and figure out who he is, who he's linked to, his travel.
01:42:24.680Is this guy, you know, a member of a terrorist organization?
01:42:27.080They're going to go through all of it.
01:42:29.280So that's what I think is going to is going to happen.
01:42:31.200And then based on what they find in the initial, you know, findings, that's going to dictate how much they disclose during the press conference.
01:42:37.760So just to give a quick recap, and then I'm going to report something that isn't confirmed, but it's pretty revealing.
01:42:51.400Just to recap for everybody, there was an active shooting situation in Midtown Manhattan.
01:42:57.940It was near the Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Station.
01:43:03.460That specific area has been locked down.
01:43:07.140The governor has issued a statement in urging all citizens to stay out of that area.
01:43:15.380We believe that there was one gunman with an AK-15 automatic, semi-automatic weapon.
01:43:22.600We do know that one police officer shot, and it has been reported that two civilians so far have been reported dead.
01:43:31.900In addition to that, we are getting some disturbing reports that the initial report that the gunman was killed or killed himself was reported because of CCT coverage.
01:43:44.980And it was actually potentially a victim that they saw on that CCT video.
01:43:52.840So the police are now going forward and sweeping the 33rd floor and other floors to make sure who actually was dead or was killed at that time.
01:44:04.800Um, and we're trying to find out if it's still an active shooting situation and the shooter is still alive or, um, it was reported across most.
01:46:16.160Did you catch if they took out that brown piece of material out of the trunk of the car?
01:46:23.080I didn't see if that came out of the car, but I can tell you clearly they think that this may have been the gunman's car.
01:46:27.700It's left in the middle of the street, which would be seemingly very odd to leave a car parked straight in the middle of the seat if that indeed is what it is.
01:46:35.520And clearly the focus of attention is going to be here for some time.
01:46:38.500We also have to consider, though, that they have to be concerned about people in those buildings.
01:46:43.080Number one, we believe that two people have been shot.
01:46:45.480And perhaps there are more victims that they have not found.
01:47:08.460Looks like that's the rifle casing right there.
01:47:10.280Just about 20 minutes ago, which is a good sign that police feel as though that they have somewhat of a handle on this situation.
01:47:18.660And they feel comfortable allowing some of those people that were told to stay in place to actually leave and make it home to their loved ones.
01:47:27.880But police are still very focused on this particular car here.
01:47:32.400They seem to have a brown bag that they are.
01:47:34.940And remember, guys, we heard it earlier when they were calling in the license plate in Nevada.
01:47:39.360Looking at, it appears as though that there are some other items there that they've laid out on the sidewalk that they are now inspecting.
01:47:46.780But this is a very active, a very fluid scene that we are following for you as it unfolds live here on our air.
01:47:57.360We have team coverage, multiple crews on the scene.
01:48:00.860That includes Naveen Dhaliwal and Jennifer Bissram, who have been on the scene since shortly after the news broke at around 6.40 this evening of the shooting.
01:48:31.540We are still seeing emergency vehicles go down the block.
01:48:34.740But as you mentioned, what we know so far, at least three people shot, including a police officer.
01:48:39.840We are still waiting on official word on their conditions.
01:48:43.940And again, 345 Park Avenue, as we're told where this incident took place, we're told at one point people, that shooting, people could have heard multiple gunshots on the first floor.
01:48:54.620That coming from a security officer who works inside.
01:48:58.380He said he could not go on camera, but he told us basically at one point, all of a sudden, there were multiple shots fired.
01:49:05.780Then there was multiple shots fired again.
01:49:08.560Since we have been here, we have seen people basically coming home from work, just looking distressed in their phones, just looking to see.
01:49:17.140Because at one point, if you remember, or you may recall, there was a lockdown inside of that building.
01:49:22.620There were people who came up to us, just looked like they had fear in their eyes because they had no idea what was happening inside that building.
01:49:29.320And they had loved ones and co-workers inside.
01:49:32.320And within the last half an hour or so, we saw at least dozens, if not close to 100 people, just walk out onto down to 3rd Street from Park Avenue towards Lexington Avenue.
01:49:43.420As Christine had mentioned earlier, you know, a sign that things police had a handle on things at this point.
01:49:49.320Yeah, JTTF is 100% going to take this case.
01:50:19.300We tried to talk with people a few times, Christine.
01:50:22.540But as you can see from our vantage point, they were just on the other side of the street where it is now blocked off.
01:50:28.020We were screaming to some of the people across the street, hey, were you in the building, anything you want to say?
01:50:32.560But again, they just kind of kept their heads down and kept walking.
01:50:35.340You know, a sign that they're just probably relieved that they were able to get out of that building or just get out of this situation.
01:50:40.500And as you mentioned, we have crews along this vicinity, and they are definitely working the area also to talk to people who are on the other side of the street.
01:50:48.140And I'm sure at some point during this newscast or later, we will have people who are either inside the building or people who were in that building or in surrounding buildings that were able to be let out.
01:50:59.200Jen Bessram, thank you for that update as we continue to see people filing out of this area that was initially in a lockdown situation.
01:51:10.400And as we continue to look at these pictures live from Chopper 2.
01:51:14.120Shout out to Buggy with the gifted sub on kick, my friend.
01:51:40.040We expect within the next couple of hours we will.
01:51:42.600But of course, as we mentioned earlier, as far as they're concerned, even if the gunman, the believed shooter is dead, and they have concluded, we assume, that there was not a second person involved in this, that they still have to go through that building and perhaps other parts of that building just to find if there's anyone still in there.
01:52:02.920But we would expect, I would imagine, in a reasonable period of time that the NYPD would be coming out with some more information.
01:52:10.200And what advantage that the NYPD does have, Dick, as you well know, is the capability of electronic cameras and security cameras that they can tap into immediately to get the whereabouts and follow the path that the suspect took.
01:52:27.280And quite possibly, from what's coming out of that vehicle, maybe there is an identity already of this gunman, a photo was being circulated.
01:52:36.400Whether or not you can determine an ID just from a photo might be a long shot.
01:52:40.120But, indeed, he may have left something in his vehicle, and then very quickly you can find out at least where he's connected, perhaps where he's from.
01:52:47.100But we could still be a long way from there.
01:52:49.000We see the police are still pushing people back.
01:56:51.020But certainly our condolences, not only to his family, her family, whoever it happens to be, but to the entire NYPD, because we know a loss of one is a loss for everyone there.
01:57:01.600And clearly that person's actions tonight likely saved other lives.
01:57:07.960All right, let's go to Jenna DeAngelis, who is near the scene.
01:57:11.400And Jenna, what are you seeing differently perhaps in your location?
01:57:14.940You've been hearing what both Jennifer and Naveen were saying.
01:57:18.980What are you seeing differently from your location?
01:57:22.620I mean, I have to say, if you walk through Midtown on a typical day, it's business as usual, people walking around.
01:57:28.800It feels very chaotic in this area right now.
01:57:31.860I mean, I can see flashing lights from the corner of my eyes.
01:57:34.560This street, we're at 54th and Lexed is blocked off.
01:57:37.140And we can just see people sort of being let out of work, leaving their buildings, and trying to get, obviously, past the police tape here.
01:57:47.300As you mentioned, police sources have confirmed that that officer died.
01:57:51.860And, you know, as I'm looking at this scene here, there are countless police officers out here just doing their job.
01:57:57.660I was learning that news, you know, with you, and it's just really difficult to process a police officer responding to this scene.
01:58:07.080And also, two civilians were shot and injured.
01:58:10.300And as you have been mentioning in the reporting, the suspect fatally shot himself.
01:58:15.280Police say they responded to a call for shots fired just before 6.40 p.m. at 345 Park Avenue.
01:58:21.280That's about the time many people are either still at work or leaving work.
01:58:25.020This is a very bustling area at that time.
01:58:28.200And that building was placed on lockdown and was being evacuated as this whole area was blocked off.
01:58:34.640We actually spoke with a man a short time ago who works in a nearby building that was also on lockdown.
02:04:17.540All this has to be sort of played out, figured out, and then police perhaps can say, okay, we can come out and give you all our information.
02:15:17.820How many people could you alert at once?
02:15:19.720You don't know what kind of public address system.
02:15:22.000Did they have some sort of code that they could have put over the PA system or an emergency text or something?
02:15:27.880You know, there's a lot of different companies that have all the stuff that can send you an immediate, you know, active shooter notification to your phone via email, text.
02:15:35.700We just don't know the capacity or what kind of equipment they had in that building.
02:17:10.580We see them jumping over garden islands.
02:17:14.080Some of them, you know, clearly approaching with caution as if somebody could open fire at any moment.
02:17:23.680And you can certainly just tell from these pictures what a tense scene this was when they approached.
02:17:32.720Please tell us about, you know, what is going through these officers' minds that are clearly running right into danger and not thinking twice.
02:17:42.280Well, I can tell you from 31 years of experience, once, you know, the call comes out, officer down at 1013, I mean, your mindset goes into automatic response mode.
02:17:53.380But the most important thing for you at that time is to get there, to make sure your officer is safe, and respond by any means necessary.
02:18:55.140But you put it in the back of your mind that every day you still go out there and answer those huge amount of radio calls that keep coming in,
02:19:01.620and you do your best to serve the public.
02:21:01.380Right now, let's go to Jennifer Bissram, who is on the scene.
02:21:05.760Jennifer has been there for a few hours.
02:21:08.020And, Jennifer, we've been talking to you, and we were just talking to Philippe about just the tension that can come right at a split second in Manhattan.
02:21:17.540We just saw the photo of the suspect with a long gun, and we can only imagine what was going through the minds of the people who saw him walk right by.
02:30:34.700He looks like he's black and something else.
02:30:36.820Um, we don't know what his exact grievances, but yeah, some people said that, um, the building housed some NFL facilities.
02:30:42.920I think the, um, place that he went into, there was like a bank there or something like that, some kind of financial institution on the 33rd floor.
02:30:48.560Uh, but we still don't know what the, um, what his goal was here or what his intention was.
02:30:55.120Mario, I don't know if you heard what we just said that we're not saying this is definitely the reasoning, but we found, um, that basically he was a NFL.
02:31:03.920So he was a high school running back with huge prospects, like, um, you know, and so therefore, cause the NFL headquarters was situated that that could possibly be a motive.
02:31:16.380I know, uh, the FBI is probably going to take lead on this case and they're definitely going to run down everything in this guy's background in life, um, and see what it is.
02:31:25.180Uh, but even if, you know, this is still going to be looked at as a terrorism case, active shooter cases.
02:31:29.080A lot of times nowadays end up becoming terrorism cases anyway, regardless of, um, whether there is a political ideology with it or not.
02:31:35.860Like I remember, um, like a year or two ago, there was a guy that got into like was shooting in the train in the NYC, um, trains.
02:31:42.780And they still charge that as basically a terrorism case, even though they didn't have anything to do with political ideology.
02:31:47.720So, um, they're definitely going to, JTTF is definitely going to take this case as a terrorism case, investigate.
02:31:52.860And, uh, you know, over time, I predict that they're going to probably do a press release.
02:31:56.320They're probably going to release his name now that has been found.
02:31:58.700Uh, and then hopefully they could figure, explain why he did what he did, but I don't know if they'll release that at the press conference this soon.
02:32:03.960Also, Myron, I'm not sure if you know about this.
02:32:29.980So, we looked into his background, Joe, I actually found a lot of information on him.
02:32:35.400He was, again, he's, he's basically, is pro-Palestinian, but he's someone who, who is from New York.
02:32:42.200He does a huge amount of charity work with disenfranchised children, women with breast cancer.
02:32:47.840So, you know, he does, so he's like, you know, he does stand for, against, for Palestine as well.
02:32:51.900So, he sounds like he's a guy who helps any kind of cause.
02:32:55.220Um, so clearly they've just arrested him, even though he has no form of association.
02:32:59.200Actually, he seems like a very genuine, good guy who's there for peaceful reasons, but that's the person they've arrested and tried to make it look like the shooter was linked to Palestine.
02:33:07.460Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, um, you know, and this is why I'm, like, very reluctant to, to say anything, because right now, right, they're going to try to run with the narrative and say, oh, look, this guy was a Islamic terrorist and he's pro-Palestine.
02:33:18.180And that's what the, their narrative, they're going to definitely try to run with.
02:33:20.740Um, obviously, you know, I'm waiting until all the facts come out, but as of right now, I haven't heard anything official that the guy was acting, um, you know, from some type of, um, political perspective.
02:33:33.560I mean, they're, they're going to probably, they're probably getting ready to do a press conference here, probably within the next hour or two, um, guaranteed.
02:34:05.620JTTF is definitely there and, um, looking at what's going on here.
02:34:10.180Um, and keep in mind when he says NYPD is, uh, you know, currently the lead on this investigation, you know, there's an active NYPD presence at the JTTF.
02:34:18.220I already saw a bunch of them there, um, when I was watching the news.
02:34:21.080So they're going to definitely run this guy's stuff and figure out, you know, if there's a terrorism link for sure.
02:34:27.880They're trying to figure it out right now, but I guarantee you they're doing search warrants on his phone, going through all of his, you know, digital footprint, figuring out, you know, where he's traveled, all that other stuff, running them through every single government database and figuring out what the motive is.
02:34:40.560Um, but yeah, we'll see, we'll see what happens here, but FBI is definitely going to be involved for sure.
02:43:48.260Well, yeah, the code should work, guys.
02:43:57.660I put a new one in there for you guys.
02:43:59.900All right, let's go back to see the coverage here.
02:44:17.060The scene that we are following for you as it unfolds live here on our air.
02:44:29.440We have team coverage, multiple crews on the scene.
02:44:32.820That includes Navi Dhaliwal and Jennifer Bissram, who have been on the scene since shortly after the news broke at around 6.40 this evening of the shooting.
02:45:03.060We are still seeing emergency vehicles go down the block.
02:45:06.780But as you mentioned, what we know so far, at least three people shot, including a police officer.
02:45:12.180We are still waiting on official word on their conditions.
02:45:15.820And again, 345 Park Avenue, as we're told where this incident took place, we're told at one point people, that shooting, people could have heard multiple gunshots on the first floor.
02:45:26.520That coming from a security officer who works inside.
02:45:30.160He said he could not go on camera, but he told us, basically, at one point, all of a sudden, there were multiple shots fired.
02:45:37.880Then there was multiple shots fired again.
02:45:40.640Since we have been here, we have seen people basically coming home from work, just looking distressed in their phones, just looking to see.
02:45:49.160Because at one point, if you remember, or you may recall, there was a lockdown inside of that building.
02:45:54.380There were people who came up to us, just looked like they had fear in their eyes, because they had no idea what was happening inside that building.
02:46:01.240And they had loved ones and coworkers inside.
02:46:04.220And within the last half an hour or so, we saw at least dozens, if not close to 100 people, just walk out onto down 53rd Street from Park Avenue towards Lexington Avenue.
02:46:15.320As Christine had mentioned earlier, you know, a sign that things police had a handle on things at this point.
02:46:21.340But, you know, we're still seeing the streets blocked off.
02:46:24.000We're still seeing emergency crews coming and going.
02:46:27.360And people just here, standing around, trying to figure out or understand what exactly happened here.
02:46:51.180We tried to talk with people a few times, Christine.
02:46:54.440But as you can see from our vantage point, they were just on the other side of the street where it is now blocked off.
02:46:59.900We were screaming to some of the people across the street, hey, were you in the building, anything you want to say?
02:47:04.340But, again, they just kind of kept their heads down and kept walking, you know, a sign that they're just probably relieved that they were able to get out of that building or just get out of this situation.
02:47:12.680As you mentioned, we have crews along this vicinity, and they are definitely working the area also to talk to people who are on the other side of the street.
02:47:20.020And I'm sure at some point during this newscast or later, we will have people who are either inside the building or people who were in that building or in surrounding buildings that were able to be let out.
02:47:31.080Jen Bissram, thank you for that update as we continue to see people filing out of this area that was initially in a lockdown situation.
02:47:41.900And as we continue to look at these pictures live from Chopper 2 of what appears to be a car that may have been connected to the suspect.
02:47:50.620And tonight, the question remains, why?
02:54:07.220One of the civilians is in critical condition right now.
02:54:10.100Now, after the shooting, the gunmen, we're told, ran upstairs and barricaded himself on one of the upper floors.
02:54:16.180A short time later, he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
02:54:20.420Now, police and the FBI, they responded very, very quickly.
02:54:22.780And the FBI actually helped with this investigation.
02:54:26.080By around 8 p.m., the building was secure.
02:54:28.660Hundreds of people in that densely populated area had to shelter in place during this lockdown.
02:54:36.120And city officials, including Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul, they asked the public to stay away from East 52nd Street while this investigation was continuing.
02:54:46.920And right now, there's no ongoing threat.
02:54:49.680But a lot of people are just shaking because of the risks of mass shootings and the idea of this guy walking in to a major financial building and opening fire, just shooting people in the lobby.
02:55:03.060It's almost unbelievable, but it happened.
02:55:30.340Did he actually have a connection to that building?
02:55:34.300And how long, if at all, this was being planned?
02:55:38.540Once again, just after 6.30 p.m., a man with a rifle and a bulletproof vest, so there was some sort of planning involved, walked into the lobby of 345 Park Avenue and just opened fire.
02:55:53.040This is, again, a major office tower with some of the biggest names in finance.
02:55:57.460Three people were shot, a police officer working private security and two civilians.
02:56:02.320We understand that this police officer who was working private security, he was there trying to earn extra money.
02:56:06.720So he wasn't there on an official New York City job, but he was actually getting paid extra money to work security to keep the people in this building safe.
02:57:03.760All these things are questions that investigators are going to roll back all that footage and try to determine as he walked into the building.
02:57:22.880And again, by 8 p.m., the building was secure.
02:57:25.860Hundreds of people had to shelter in place during this lockdown, which was frightening.
02:57:30.580And some of our crews, they spoke to people who are still in shock, who can't believe they had to go in lockdown in midtown Manhattan because of an active shooter situation where a police officer had been shot.
02:57:43.460There's a whole lot of questions tonight.
02:57:45.020And we're going to bring you a lot of coverage where we're going to have experts who are going to be talking about the elements of this investigation and what can be done to prevent a situation like this.
02:57:59.260But to see it actually happen again at this level in a building like this, that's raising eyebrows tonight.
02:58:05.380That is raising some big eyebrows tonight.
02:58:07.780Now, city officials and the mayor, Mayor Eric Adams, they're still working right now.
02:58:10.860And the governor, Kathy Hochul, they've asked the public to stay away because they're still gathering evidence and doing some interviews.
02:58:16.640And you're looking at this video right now, you can see the officers with their weapons drawn, prepared to shoot in the event of something happening.
02:58:32.700You can see them right now, peering in, trying to figure out if this man was working by himself, if he had intelligence inside, if he was going after a particular target.
03:02:53.800He struck at least three people, including an NYPD officer.
03:02:57.280That officer was not there on official duty.
03:02:59.460He was working private security, getting paid by a private company who seek out NYPD officers because of their specific training to prevent situations like this.
03:03:10.280Now, the officer, we got some more details.
03:03:55.660But the fear, you can see people running out of that building because there was an active shooter.
03:04:01.040We understand the companies inside that building were sending alerts to all of the employees who were actually still left in the building,
03:04:07.580telling them, shelter in place, hide, do not come out of your office, stay away from any sort of door or window where someone could take aim at you.
03:04:17.480We have someone who's going to be joining us soon.
03:04:21.200We have a guest who, his name is Kirk Buckholter.
03:04:25.940Now, he's a professor at New York Law School and he's a retired NYPD detective.
03:04:34.280We know the facts of this case, we know the facts of this case so far.
03:04:37.240A man, and the images are pretty shocking, walks into this building holding a weapon in his right hand.
03:04:44.800When you see that, what's your immediate reaction?
03:04:48.320You know, my immediate reaction is that it's just, it's such a New York thing that someone can walk the street in such a bizarre fashion by so many people.
03:05:05.040And there's a small chance that he's going to garner some type of reaction.
03:05:11.540It's just wildly unfortunate, to say the least, that someone can walk with some type of replica assault rifle, walk down the street, walk into the building.
03:05:22.660And I have no doubt that at some point, the NYPD will recover footage from the various surveillance cameras of him exiting a car or exiting the subway,
03:05:35.560pulling that rifle out and walking perhaps an entire block at a rather slow pace.
03:05:40.820So it's really unfortunate and it's just totally bizarre.
03:05:45.140In a situation like this, I mean, everyone is thinking, okay, I may work in a building, I may walk in this area.
03:05:50.460What are the types of security procedures in place when you have an active shooter?
03:05:56.520What are we supposed to do when you're in a building this tall and there is a suspect going through, taking aim?
03:06:03.240And at this point, we believe it's random.
03:06:05.580So, you know, it's difficult, that's a difficult discussion because of presupposes that every single active shooter follows some type of specific pattern.
03:06:21.260You know, the best thing that an individual can do is to be vigilant and to take cover and try not to present themselves as a target.
03:06:31.140Most buildings, their security is there to challenge persons, to aid those who are either employees or visiting the building and the guard against fire and other types of hazards.
03:06:43.500Security is not there to protect against some type of assault by an active shooter.
03:06:50.900They're there to discourage that, hopefully.
03:06:54.160Yeah, this guy's writing in the background.
03:06:56.200That's what you guys can hear with the fucking thing.
03:07:27.480In a situation like this, can we go through what might have happened inside in a situation like this?
03:07:33.320They're not there to prevent an active shooter, but what happens?
03:07:37.580You've had a lot of experience, many, many years in law enforcement.
03:07:41.920What happens in a situation like this inside?
03:07:44.880Well, security should be the eyes and ears of law enforcement.
03:07:48.240And hopefully they had time to notify the authorities, call 911, and then to authorities when they are there and to help with the evacuation of civilians.
03:08:00.920Very difficult to keep eyes on this person when they enter the building and where they travel, which direction they travel to.
03:08:08.080It sounds like the off-duty police officer was somewhere in the lobby on the first floor and was one of the first persons that the shooter shot.
03:08:17.620So here you have one of the most trained individuals in that building with regards to law enforcement and protecting others.
03:08:26.340And he succumbed to his wounds right away.
03:08:32.680And, you know, who's to say that security is on each and every floor and how robust that security is?
03:08:38.560There's just not enough people in the world that have that level of training to perform these types of security duties in every single office building in New York City.
03:08:49.400So when we look at this investigation, we know that they're going to be looking at security footage, trying to determine where he actually walked, how long it took him, how long he was walking in Manhattan on these streets calmly with what looks like this replica assault rifle.
03:09:08.480What else are they likely to do in this investigation to try to figure out a motive?
03:09:13.260And the big question determined whether he was working by himself or if there were more people involved.
03:09:20.680So let's talk about that weapon, which was rather large and menacing.
03:09:25.060There's a strong possibility that he did not walk for many, many blocks with that weapon entering the building.
03:09:34.380So I would not be surprised to find that we see he exited public transportation or some type of vehicle and then pulled the weapon out within fairly close proximity to the building.
03:09:49.160But that's the next piece of the investigation.
03:09:51.220The police are going to scrub every piece of video within that area.
03:09:55.500Next, determining where he came from and if he had any associates or accomplices or anyone with him.
03:10:01.700Did someone drive him to the scene or did he arrive there on his own?
03:10:07.800The weapon in and of itself, where did it come from?
03:10:15.480To operate in fully automatic mode or was it?
03:10:19.360Nevada has way looser gun laws than New York does.
03:10:24.040Did he purchase it or did someone else?
03:10:26.360And then finally, the information we have now is that the shooter is from Las Vegas.
03:10:31.560So I'm fairly certain that the authorities in Las Vegas are already at his residence of record, determining if anyone lives there.
03:10:41.460And they're going to have to work and get some type of search warrants and do this properly because there may still be others who are alive that might incur some type of criminal liability.
03:10:54.440So the police just can't go willy-nilly and kick down doors and do those types of things.
03:10:58.940So they're going to have to involve prosecutors on.
03:11:03.040Hey, guys, I got my Ninja Watcher shirt on.
03:11:04.860Smash the like button on YouTube, guys.
03:13:53.140The suspect is to blame for this incident.
03:13:55.780His actions is responsible for the tragedies that he created.
03:14:01.400This morning at 725, Reno police officers responded to the Grand Sierra Resort on the report of an active shooter.
03:14:07.500Within two and a half minutes, RPD officers arrived on scene and were able to locate the suspect on the northwest side of the property in the parking lot.
03:14:15.440The suspect confronted these responding officers of the firearm, and an officer-involved shooting occurred.
03:14:22.500The bravery and rapid response by our officers stopped the suspect's rampage on innocent victims, which definitely saved lives and prevented additional people from being victimized.
03:14:34.780Officers and personnel from the GSR provided medical aid to the victims until Reno Fire Department and REMSA arrived on scene.
03:14:40.600The quick response by the skilled medical professionals ensured immediate treatment and transportation without hesitation to local hospitals.
03:14:49.520During the incident, one officer sustained minor injuries, most likely from glass fragments.
03:14:56.560This was the only physical injury our officers received during the incident.
03:15:02.700Officers, deputies from the Reno Police Department, Washoe County Sheriff's Office, Nevada Highway Patrol, Nevada State Police, Nevada Parole and Probation, Sparks Police, and several federal agencies responded to the scene.
03:15:17.580I cannot thank our first responders and GSR personnel enough for their rapid response and help in ensuring the victims of this tragedy received instantaneous help.
03:15:29.600The Sparks Police Department will be the primary investigating agency for the officer-involved shooting and the active shooter investigation, and this is part of our county-wide protocol for officer-involved incidents.
03:15:40.040I would now like to introduce Chief Crawford with the Sparks Police Department to provide more details about the investigation.
03:15:51.640Good afternoon. I will provide you information about this incident that is known at this time.
03:15:57.360The unidentified male suspect was observed walking onto the parking lot of the GSR from the north part of the property.
03:16:04.300The suspect continued walking on foot to the valet area of the GSR.
03:16:08.040Once at valet, the suspect produced a handgun and pointed it at a group of victims.
03:18:20.340Any new information related to the investigation will be released by the Sparks Police Department through written communication when possible.
03:18:30.400And we will bring up Reno Mayor Hilary Scheeve.
03:18:34.940On behalf of the City of Reno, we want to sincerely express our condolences, our heartfelt prayers to everyone that has been impacted in this situation,
03:18:53.540especially friends, family, and loved ones.
03:18:55.820That is really important to stay focused on in times of severe tragedy.
03:19:02.940I want to say thank you so much to our first responders.
03:19:07.980As you could hear from the comments from Chief Crawford and Chief Nance,
03:19:13.540there was incredible, swift action that took place,
03:19:18.300and it apprehended this individual from going into the building.
03:25:40.060In addition, GSR employees, a department of trained EMT team members who rendered medical aid to the victims in those critical early moments.
03:25:50.440Their courage, training, and compassion made a real difference today.
03:25:53.640The incident occurred outside of the building, in the parking areas, not related to any GSR activities.
03:26:02.580There is no ongoing threat to the public, and the resort remains open and operational.
03:26:08.060We are focused on supporting anyone who may have been impacted, including our guests and team members.
03:26:13.700Your safety has always and will remain a priority.
03:26:17.940We are fully cooperating with all law enforcement agencies involved.
03:26:21.500We are extremely appreciative for the ongoing teamwork and cooperation between GSR and all of these local agencies.
03:26:32.460We thank the committee, the community, GSR team members, and a guest that were at GSR today for their concern and support.
03:26:42.100While this has been a difficult day, we remain committed to creating a safe, welcoming environment for anyone who...
03:26:59.660Let me read some of these chats and we'll get into the other news, guys, and then we will go ahead and, you know, because we're a bit behind on schedule here.
03:27:07.460Something else that kind of stands out about this is the temperament of some of the officers that you saw there.
03:27:12.740You can tell that there was a lot going on, a lot of moving parts, several blocks spanning of the area that has is packed with thousands and thousands of people without with any given hour.
03:27:25.340So, so you have to contain that block.
03:27:26.840You have to contain the wider perimeter to make sure that other buildings are...
03:28:59.400Slash O'Clan says, uh, so Cobb's body armor is only for handguns because the caliber used is way smaller than even a small handgun hunting bullet.
03:29:07.040Yeah, it's typically designed for handguns.
03:29:08.740Nine millimeter, 40 cal, but .223, you know, and rounds that come from an AR typically, yeah.
03:42:29.460Even if you're not banging her anymore like that or you don't find her as, like, arousing, but she's a good girl and she helps you in other ways,
03:44:51.780Keep you guys sharp with female nature.
03:44:53.620Because a lot of you guys come to me for just the political shit, but you guys are completely unaware of women and, like, understanding them and operating.
03:44:59.940Because a lot of you guys are, like, trad cons that maybe found me through, you know, Daily Wire or Blaze or some other shit like that.
03:45:04.900And you niggas, like, think that, you know, the traditional conservative way is the way to go with women nowadays, which isn't, unfortunately.
03:45:10.600I wish it wasn't that way, but that's just what it is.
03:45:13.840So, yeah, shoot me shit like this on OSS.
03:45:16.820I thought that this was going to be a woman that was more compassionate towards people that decide to leave their relationships because she lost weight or some dumb stuff like that, right?
03:45:26.780I wasn't expecting this because I try to react to this in real time, meaning that what you guys get is my authentic thoughts without pre-watching the video so that I can give you some made-up reaction.
03:45:38.620But I am absolutely blown away that people are advocating for people to break, especially for a woman that has children.
03:45:50.020And you're telling me that you would rather tie yourself to social services or to federal government or to try to hope for another man to come in and take care of your children instead of the stability that came along with who it is that you married because you knew who they was in the first place.
03:46:23.100We're going to start giving away merch bundles once a month.
03:46:26.100All kinds of merch can be given away to you guys for supporting.
03:46:28.660Also, we're going to be doing call-in parts of the show where members of the OSS army can go in and call into the show and give their takes on certain different types of topics, whatever we're talking about on that particular day.
03:46:37.360Also, we're going to start doing shows, guys, where we're going to do parts that are only OSS members so that we can actually say we want to say, put the memes up on screen that we want to put up and not have to worry about censorship.
03:46:46.600Unfortunately, even on regular platforms, we can still get clicked and put out of context and still be labeled for cancellation.
03:46:52.540All the uncensored stuff that we want to do, it's going to be on the OSS members portion only.
03:46:57.320Now, I know what you guys are wondering.
03:46:58.380Oh, my God, Byron, no, I can't afford it.
03:47:01.280It's going to be only a dollar to get in, guys, for the first month, and it goes to regular dues price.
03:47:04.700So get in there, join us, allow us to be able to continue the fight against censorship because even on free speech platforms, they clip our shit and try to cancel us anyway.
03:47:15.940Bam, so get in, guys, while you can, man.
03:47:40.720And as you guys see, I've been going viral the past couple of days.
03:47:44.420They're taking clips that I had from, like, Rumble or off-platform shit, off YouTube shit, and trying to use it against me to get me canceled.
03:47:51.940So it's like, bruh, okay, man, now when I'm, like, doing, even when I'm on Rumble, they'll, like, clip shit.
03:47:57.540That's why I had to do the Cookie Monster shit off-stream.
03:48:00.280Like, literally off-stream, I had to do it on OSS only.
03:48:02.400So that's kind of where we're getting at here, these fucking weirdos, man.
03:48:06.040Live in and get me canceled everywhere.
03:48:13.120I'm no stranger to going viral internationally.
03:48:15.340This is, like, maybe the 10th or 15th time now, between 10 and 15 times, that I've went, like, internationally viral on something.
03:48:22.140But it's always annoying because then, like, the fucking, you know, they take shit from before, make a fucking little montage of, like, oh, look, this guy, he hates everybody.
03:49:18.760Next case breakdown should be Mika Xavier Johnson, Dallas police shooter, Wayne Silk Perry, or Bordolome Moya, who was NYC Kingpin, who the feds gave a heart transplant, and he went on the run while he was on bond for a few murder charges.
03:49:51.900You should be thanking OSS Castle Club for that, and you, Myron, for building a community where folks like us, really truly at home, grateful beyond words, O Slash.
03:54:08.320What is the situation in Gaza as the truth would bear it out?
03:54:12.600Not the New York Times propagandist network.
03:54:14.740Well, if we're talking about the starvation lie, and thank you, Charlie.
03:54:19.520Thank you for having me on to talk about this.
03:54:21.120It's so important because this is really pure, pure propaganda, as you say.
03:54:25.520So, since the beginning of the war, since October 7th, the whole issue of the food getting into Gaza and how much food is getting in has been weaponized by Hamas and by the whole pro-Hamas crowd.
03:54:39.480And what they're doing most recently is claiming...
03:55:19.820And since they voted Hamas in, they deserve all the punishment.
03:55:22.300That's the equivalent to us saying that, well, Osama Bin Laden was justified in attacking us on 9-11 because we voted our government in.
03:55:28.760See how their fucking logic doesn't make sense?
03:55:31.060Again, I want you guys to pay attention to this because Israelis always do this shit.
03:55:34.400So let's go ahead and break down this fucking thing because I know exactly what they're going to say before they even said it.
03:55:38.440I haven't watched this video yet, but I already know where he's going to go with this shit.
03:55:41.040So notice how he says the pro-Hamas people.
03:55:43.940Instead of saying pro-Palestinian people, they have to go ahead and try to make it more pejorative and say pro-Hamas instead of saying pro-Palestinian.
03:55:50.400And then what they do is once they say that you're pro-Hamas, they use that to justify the collective punishment by saying, okay, well, all these people put Hamas in power, so they deserve whatever comes from that.
03:55:59.220Well, by that logic, you would be basically saying, well, the American people deserve 9-11 because we put our government into power.
03:56:10.000A bunch of them probably didn't even vote or give a shit about politics, but they were targeted by terrorists because of their government, and that's appropriate.
03:56:16.780Well, the Israelis would tell you that collective punishment is appropriate.
03:56:21.840And by that logic, that logic even hurts them.
03:56:24.560By that logic, it's, oh, well, the Israeli government occupies the Palestinians, so them invading on October 7th and taking innocent people as hostages is justified.
03:56:33.140Their logic doesn't even fucking make sense when applied to them.
03:56:39.400Because there's a reason why they always say the pro-Hamas crowd instead of the pro-Palestinian.
03:56:43.340They're trying to attribute the atrocities of what Hamas does and blame the entire group of people for that, for collective punishment.
03:56:50.060But, like I said before, if you take that logic and then apply it again in another scenario, it doesn't make sense.
03:56:55.840Innocent people should never be held to account for their government because a lot of the times, the government acts in a way which might not necessarily reflect what the people want.
03:57:11.740So, this is a very common, you know, Israeli talking point is they're going to demonize the entire group of Palestinian people and call them pro-Hamas.
03:57:23.900The quantities of food, I'm not going to get into the weeds of the numbers, but the quantities of food that have been brought into the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war and month over month
03:57:32.160is enough to feed the Gaza Strip according to the World Food Program's numbers for what it takes to feed people for longer than this war has gone on, for about 27 months' worth of food.
03:57:44.300And there's plenty of food getting into the Gaza Strip.
03:57:46.560Uh, that's, yeah, but they're not letting the trucks in.
03:58:46.340Because if Hamas was stealing the food at these public distribution centers, the IDF would identify them and shoot them and kill them right then and there.
03:58:53.240So what the fuck is this guy talking about?
03:58:56.260See, even their argument doesn't make sense in practice.
03:58:59.760If they're actually stealing the food and the aid, well, you have to go and get the aid from intermediaries.
03:59:04.880And guess who's watching these food sites?
03:59:24.520All of the tons and tons of food, all the truckloads of food that have been coming into the Gaza Strip as humanitarian aid since the beginning of the war until two months ago, were brought in by United Nations organizations that were working hand in glove with Hamas.
03:59:41.860Oh, now they're working hand in glove with Hamas, sure.
03:59:46.320And then Hamas would sell it at exorbitant prices to the people, hoard it for themselves, take all the fuel to fuel their war machine, use it to recruit new recruits into Hamas.
04:00:00.700The estimates now by the United States—by the State Department is that Hamas has made approximately $500 million just from selling aid to the people of the Gaza Strip since the war has began.
04:00:15.020So Israel has realized for a long time that this is a problem because while the aid has to get to people, the aid is also fueling Hamas.
04:00:21.860So two months ago, they started this new program where in areas that are under Israeli security control on the Gaza Strip, they distribute the food directly to the Gazan citizens.
04:00:45.020In fact, there are videos and pictures online of packages marked not for sale being sold by Hamas vendors to the people of the Gaza Strip.
04:00:57.300So what's happening now is because food is being distributed directly to the Gazan citizens at these distribution centers, that's cutting off Hamas's oxygen because the people can get food directly from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
04:01:10.740They don't have to pay exorbitant prices to Hamas, and Hamas is—
04:03:45.280The situation of Gaza involves severe foods insecurity and starvation, where reports indicate that as of July 2025, acute malnutrition affects a significant portion of the population, including rising child deaths from hunger-related causes.
04:03:58.900This crisis has been described by UN experts as a targeted starvation campaign resulting in famine-like conditions across the enclave.
04:04:04.420While the query presents a binary choice between the Israeli government and the UN, the reality is more complex and multifaceted, involving multiple factors.
04:04:13.080However, based on assessments from the international organizations, human rights groups, and independent analysis, the primary responsibility lies with Israeli policies, though its efficiencies and aid distribution and other factors play secondary roles.
04:04:25.100Below I outline the key contributors transparently drawing for credible sources.
04:04:30.500Israel controls all entry points into Gaza, except the Rafa crossing with Egypt, which it has influenced heavily and has maintained a blockade since 2007, intensified after October 7, 2023.
04:04:41.240This has severely limited the flow of food, water, fuel, and humanitarian aid, leading to what multiple reports describe as deliberate deprivation.
04:04:49.120And just so you guys know, just so you guys know that these fucking people control all the aid coming in, look at this.
04:12:46.260Israel accuses the UN of incompetence, as I showed you guys before,
04:12:49.280claiming such a hundred plus trucks of aid are riding undistributed as of July 2025.
04:12:53.660While there are delays, UN officials counter that Israeli approvals for safe movement are often denied.
04:12:58.400Roads are bombed and convoys are attacked, making distribution a deadly obstacle course.
04:13:03.100UNRWA's July 2025 situation report highlights that staff al-Murners themselves with supplies for treating acute diseases running out due to blockades.
04:13:12.500Critics, including some Israeli officials and U.S. senators, have called for defending UNRWA over alleged Hamas ties,
04:13:18.560leading to pauses in support that worsen the crisis.
04:13:21.120However, UN experts emphasize that the real issue is external restrictions, not internal failures.
