My friend my have a motion from Jackson we had a beautiful discussion a conversation that's very very informative and I'm I think you might enjoy it. So go check it out the yesterday's report. Like I said all the places that you could reach it on as well you can always call come with us if you don't have no access to anything else. Come with us as hotline you can dial 118 from the main menu. 118 you might have to skip some ads on the way but yeah. Okay, President Donald J. Trump survived a third assassination attempt on motzei Shabbos. Well, we left Shabbos you know thinking that something crazy is going to happen but nothing happened. Well, an hour later we heard about this shooting inside the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents Dinner. Here's the full breakdown of exactly what happened and how the gunman pulled it off. The Washington Hilton is a large hotel that has hosted this famous dinner for decades now. The ballroom where guests were seated sits in the basement level of the building. Above it on the floors directly overhead are regular hotel guest rooms accessible to anyone who books a stay. Well, in fact you can also book a stay there today. You might get background checked today especially after this incident. That is exactly how the gunman got in. His name is Cole Thomas Allen a 31-year-old computer engineer from California. Allen booked a room at the hotel just like any normal guest would. He checked in, went into his room and blended in completely. Nobody flagged him, nobody stopped him. He was just another guest in a suit. When the time came Allen left his room, took the elevator down and positioned himself at the hotel entrance near the stairwell that leads to the basement ballroom. From that spot he had a direct line of sight to to the open doors of the ballroom below. He ran across the barrier. The security barrier took no chances. Instead of just going through it he ran across it wildly while firing six shots. Inside the ballroom hundreds of journalists, media personalities, and government officials were all seated at round tables for the annual dinner. The moment the shots rang out, the room went into chaos. Guests dove under the tables, knocking over glasses and centerpieces. Some crawled towards the walls, others froze in their seats. The noise echoed through the basement space and the screaming started almost immediately. Secret Service agents moved with speed. Within seconds, they had surrounded President Trump, First Lady Mrs. Trump Melania Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance and also Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio and the others. The agents formed a tight protective wall around all three of them and physically pushed them through the back exit and out of the ballroom away from the direction of the shots. Outside Trump's motorcade was already running. The moment the call came through, the convoy made high-speed a high-speed exit from the hotel. Witnesses near the Washington Hilton described a blur of black vehicles tearing out of the hotel driveway with lights flashing. The entire evacuation from shots to motorcade departure happened in a matter of minutes. Now, Allen was called almost immediately. He was shot, obviously, and on his way he shot a Secret Service agent who who basically survived. He's out of the hospital, Trump said. Trump confirmed that he's out of the hospital now. He's fine because it just uh basically ruptured his Not even him. It just Well, his bulletproof vest obviously saved his life. Allen was called almost immediately, like I said. Hotel security and Secret Service, they shot him, disabled him, and grabbed him before he could go anywhere else and they held him down on the ground. He did not resist. Trump put out a post and allowed for everyone to put up the actual CCTV footage for everyone to see exactly what happened, to be transparent about this assassination attempt so nobody had So nobody like Mrs. Candace Owens who basically um you know, they put out a post about Charlie Kirk's assassination attempt saying that the shot didn't come from the front, it came from behind. And then she put up the same She She basically contradicted herself by putting out a video of the behind of Charlie Kirk while all this happens and you don't see a bullet and she even she doesn't even remember what she said on the post before. Anyway, this is my point. So, Trump made the point after bashing Candace Owens by writing she's the most despicable being and well, all other words that he used right on Motzei Shabbos. For those of you who don't remember, he blasted against Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly and all the other ones. Before the attack, Allen had sent a letter to his family and in it he mocked the hotel's security setup. Specifically, the fact that the guest rooms sit directly above the ballroom. He said he was fully willing to kill everyone in the attend in attendance. His social media was filled with anti-Trump posts. He had donated to a an organization called ActBlue, the left-wing fundraising platform. He belonged to anti- to an anti-government group and told his online followers to arm themselves. The White House confirmed that Trump stands fully behind the Secret Service and their response. Officials say the agents performed exactly as trained. On Sunday, Trump posted on Truth Social that the shooting proves a safe ballroom must be built on the grounds. Looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight and I will say, you know, it's it's not a particularly secure building. And uh I didn't want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room and it's a much more secure. It's got it's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That's why the Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. He said this event would have never happened with a militarily top secret ballroom currently under construction in the White House. It cannot be built fast enough, he says. While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is. Plus, there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in. and is inside the gates of the most secure building in the world, the White House. Allen is doing court today. Now, interesting fact. On March 13, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded outside the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. by John Hinckley Jr. Reagan was walking out of of a speaking event, a fundraiser, when a bullet bounced off his limousine and hit him in the chest. He survived. But the Washington Hilton became forever linked to one of the darkest moments in American presidential history. And now, that same hotel is back in the headlines. This month of April, the incident unfolded at the very same location during the White House Correspondents Dinner this time, involving President Donald J. Trump. And in fact, my friend Marc Lotter from Jackson was talking about this very connection right here on Edge yesterday. That chilling parallel between 1981 and now, same hotel, two presidents, two attacks, 45 years apart. And Trump always refers himself to Well, he compares himself to Ronald Reagan, and this time, literally, it was done for him under these difficult circumstances. Meanwhile, US Republican Senator Thom Tillis from North Carolina said he will stop blocking Kevin Warsh from leading the Federal Reserve. As you know already, we spoke about this last week. Warsh is Trump's personal choice for this position. Tillis changed his mind after the Department of Justice stopped a criminal case about Jerome Powell, Mr. Too Late, like Trump likes to call him. However, it will still check on a very expensive building project that they are checking on to see if he's doing everything right, if he's not spending extra money, which may have had extra costs, like I say. But after hearing this, he heard that they dropped the case, Tillis said that one of his concerns was solved, and as a result, he will have no problem with Waters' appointment. Okay? The Senate Banking Committee will vote this Wednesday regarding Kevin Waters' appointment. We'll see what happens this Wednesday. Nine people were injured in a mass shooting early Sunday morning, yesterday in Indiana. The violence broke out just as after midnight on Kirkwood Avenue in Bloomington, the home of Indiana University. The shooting happened during the school's famous Little 500 weekend, which is a massive yearly celebration that brings tens of thousands of visitors in the area. No arrests have been made, but the police say that many people were seen pulling out their guns. Interesting, they have guns, I guess, to you know, protect themselves. The United States military blew up another drug-carrying boat in the Eastern Pacific, killing three terrorist narco-terrorists. Officials say the boat was connected to terror to obviously narco-terrorist groups. The United States Southern Command released a video showing the fast-moving boat completely bursting into flames after being hit. No American troops were hurt in the operation. After dozens of similar attacks over the past few months, 185 people, terrorists, were killed in this anti-drug operation that America is operating right now in the south part, the south in the Caribbean area. And that's Yeah. Let's talk about the Middle East, okay? We haven't spoken about this in a while, I know, because of all this happening. You see how the news takes over sometimes, but it's a it's a it's a change of light a little bit, you know? You You start with something else instead. Israeli soldiers destroyed a massive underground terror tunnel in the southern Gaza Gaza Strip. The military says this 2,600-ft tunnel belonged to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Combat engineers from the top Yahalom unit uncovered the tunnel inside. Soldiers found a stockpile of weapons, military equipment, and a hidden rocket. They also said that the tunnel reached into the Israeli side of the ceasefire line. This operation is part of a larger military effort as Israel expands its control inside Gaza. With this progress, Israel has has no use for US backup inside the area just yet. It is putting US military experts on the sidelines for now. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid and are creating a new political party together called Bayahad. Its main goal is to challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming 2026 Knesset Knesset elections. And Bennett [snorts] will be the leader of the unified list. To do this, they will unify different oppositions and center-right groups. During a joint press conference, Lapid showed full support to Bennett. They said that the entire Israeli center must stand behind Bennett to establish a Zionist government. The new part the new party Bayahad left an empty spot open for Gadi Eisenkot, a former military chief and leader of the Yesh Atid party. Eisenkot said he likes the idea but has not officially joined them yet. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly criticized the new political party. His Likud party also released a statement saying that Lapid and Bennett are joining a terrorist-supporting Muslim Brotherhood alliance. Israeli President Isaac Herzog delayed his decision to completely stop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial. Now, for those of you who don't know, Benjamin Netanyahu was diagnosed previously with cancer and it turns out on Friday that he was cancer-free. Netanyahu claims that all charges are false, including lying and bribery. Instead of simply forgiving Netanyahu via pardon, President Herzog wants to get a plea deal. His office stated that a legal statement between Netanyahu and the prosecutors I'm sorry, a legal settlement between Netanyahu and the prosecutors is the best way to resolve this case. As you all know, President Trump has been on this case for a long time to beg Mr. President Herzog to give him a pardon. And uh as well, Netanyahu himself as well um formally asked him via letter. And this is where we're standing. This announcement matches earliest um comments from the president who said he would fully welcome both sides sitting down to work through the issues. Okay, a deadly drone attack killed a 19-year-old Israeli soldier now in Lebanon, okay? And wounded six others. This happened in the village of Taybeh, which is southern Lebanon where Hezbollah launched explo- launched explosive drones. Sergeant Idan Fuchs, Hashem Yinkam Damo, who was instantly killed is the third Israeli soldier who died since the truce began. It's very very just recently, like last week. He was a combat soldier in the 7th Armored Brigade's 77th Battalion unit. In response, Israeli fighter jets launched multiple strikes killing at least 14 terrorists. The military issued forced evacuation orders for affected towns outside the buffer zone. They also announced a specific which is next next to the Litani River. They also announced a specific warning to the Christian village of Marjayoun. And now Hezbollah is making a frightening new threat. We heard today from Naim Qassem, the current leader, according to Al Jazeera, that they announced that it back the tactics of the 1980s, meaning it plans to send suicide bomber groups to attack IDF positions in southern Lebanon. This threat comes as the fighting continues even after last week's three-week ceasefire extension. Explosions and ground clashes have not stopped. In a video um circulated online, injured Israeli soldiers were seen taken out of the village of Al Taybeh, which is southern Lebanon. During the rescue, drones from Hezbollah attacked the area. One drone was stopped in the air by one of the soldiers with his gun. Another exploded another drone exploded near the soldiers while they were loading a others onto a stretcher. The helicopter was not damaged and the evacuation was finished safely, they say. The political group supporting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas won most of the local elections yesterday. Huh. They won across Judea and Samaria, which is the West Bank, and secured seats in the Gaza city of Deir al-Balah. This is Gaza's first time participating in elections since 2006. The results are also surprising because the Hamas largely controls Gaza, and they are known as the rivals of Abbas. So, it looks like however, the people other people believe the opposite. They believe that through though Hamas did not formally nominate or select a representative for the elections, those who voted was seen to be in line with Hamas beliefs. Residents and analysts said their votes could be connected to the Islamist group. Now, if you listen to my yesterday's segment again with Masha from Jackson, we spoke about this idea that the Palestinian Authority is kind of losing its grip because they're running out of funds, running out of money. President Donald J. Trump warned that Iran has only about 3 days left before its oil systems break down from the inside. Now, that is not a threat from him. This is a threat from their own. I mean, coming in from the inside. I mean, also discussed yesterday at length with Masha from Jackson, my colleague Masha from Jackson. Okay. Now, he said he said this because the two-week American blockade on Iran has already forced 38 ships to turn around. The US Central Command is stopping commercial ships from entering or exiting Iranian ports near the Strait of Hormuz. Before this crisis, an average of 135 ships traveled through the Strait of Hormuz every single day, but that number is now basically zero. To keep the waterway clear, the US Navy has officially started removing bombs from the water, the mines that we spoke about. Now, just want to remind you that uh news circulating online posts on social media saying that ships are getting through, which isn't true. It's just propaganda. Iran has no I looked for those reports, I couldn't find any base, any true um factual um evidence to this. Iran is trying to find a way out of the blockade. Over the weekend, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi submitted a new proposal. He asked America to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and extend the current ceasefire. However, well, we don't know what the ceasefire is extending what? Like however this will delay America's main goal, which is to stop Iran from processing uranium for at least another 10 to 20 years and destroy its current stock of weapon-making materials for missiles. Because the proposal will give US a disadvantage, discussions are now frozen in place. A planned second round of talks in Islamabad, Pakistan will not happen after Iranian officials refused to meet with White House representatives Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner. Cuz they're both both Jewish, maybe? Don't know. Politician and diplomat Saeed Jalili is preparing to take over the nuclear negotiating team. He is also expected to succeed Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Unfortunately, Jalili also does not like to engage with the US. We'll see where that goes. But instead of turning to America, Iran turned to Russia. Earlier today, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi um flew to St. Petersburg to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin used to meet uh used the meeting to fully back Iran. He praised the Iranian people, well, he means the regime people, saying that they are, and we quote, "fighting bravely and heroically for their sovereignty." He added that he hopes Iran will get through this difficult time. He means the regime people, obviously. He's forgetting about the 40,000 people that were killed and the women that and the people that were executed for basically protesting them. And that peace will come soon, he says. Putin also says he personally sent his best wishes for the health of the supreme leader, the current one, Mojtaba Khamenei, who is still recovering from his injuries after an airstrike. Looks like they know where he is, we don't. Most importantly, Putin made clear that Russia will do everything it can to help Iran and that the two countries plan to to continue their close strat- strategic relationship going forward. This move is being watched very closely in the Arab world. Anwar Gargash, a top advisor to the United Arab Emirates, reached reacted very sharply to this. He says, "Iran acts as if it is a superpower even when it does not possess nuclear weapons. Imagine if it would possess those weapons." That's what he says today. A story I saw yesterday made me realize something that most of you would have missed. Israel had a secret plan ready to go. It planned to bring down the Iranian regime from the inside. The Mossad, Israel's elite spy agency, was fully prepared to carry it out. Everything was set. And then, just hours before it was supposed to begin, President Trump made a phone call and shut it down. According to reports, Trump personally halted the operation at least, well, at the last minute. He wanted to keep full control over what happens to Iran's leadership and who comes next. This fits with what Trump says publicly said publicly, for those of you who remember, I reported it here, that he believes he must have a role in choosing Iran's future direction. Who's going to be the next leader? Israel followed the order and the operation never happened or it is on hold. It raises serious questions. With talks frozen, the blockades tightening, and Iran is now, well, turning to Russia for help, how long before the plan gets dusted off again? We don't know. All right, let's talk about Protobyte. 347-354-1237. Now, Protobyte is known to design custom-made software. You know, when you're stuck in, you know, you're trying to gather all your Excel sheets and the Google documents and all the different programs that you have running your current business, and then you want to send all of of those Google forms for customers to fill out, and then you forget where they are, and emails and everything is all complicated and convoluted and a mix and match, and just call Protobyte. They will design custom-made software for you today. I know you rely on AI, but guess what? Have you timed yourself how long it takes you to actually figure out how to talk to AI? Until that happens, call Protobyte 347-354-1237 today and they will prepare a fully customized plan for you. You won't have to talk much. They understand. Just like you talk to AI, you You AI understands you? They understand you way better. You You know why? Because of the humans. Okay, the United States is offering a reward for of up to $10 million for information on Haider al-Gharawi. Gharawi, a leader of an Iran-linked terrorist group in Iraq called HAAA. The US says that HAAA has attacked American forces and facilities in Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. The reward is part of a program that helps track and arrest people linked to terrorism and armed groups. An interesting fact, I don't know if I discussed it yesterday on the segment with my friend Moshe from Jackson, but we definitely had this discussion together about this. That I asked why um you know, there are Palestinians living inside of Gaza, right? That don't want all this. Don't want this pain. They don't want They don't want to be part of it. They want to have a normal lives. But the question really must be asked. America offered tons of money. More money than they they have. Money that could change their lives forever. Millions of dollars. For just information. Not even information leading to the capture of these terrorists. And none of them came up. None of them. Not one. Israel actually proved it. When they were asked and you know, they said nobody turned us. We offered money. Nobody turned us. They offered money find these terrorists. And that proves one thing. I'll let you think about that. I'll let that sit with you. Okay, aside from the cash reward, the US is will also help the informant relocate to a safe place. And this is part of what they've done so so many times. So I've heard it several times already. Also, for those of you remember the the US um fighter that fell, you know, that fell from the sky in Iran, was also, you know, they offered $60,000 for those of find him. And America offered even more money. Anyway, the United Arab Emirates has successfully, but quietly, set up the Iron Dome missile defense system that they bought from Israel. This technology was made by Israel and will help protect the UAE from Iranian missiles and drones. Looks like Israel is you know, strengthening its ties with the Arab friends. Israel is also sending dozens of soldiers to the UAE. This is interesting. This is a historical move because it's the first time the country is sending its military to an active combat zone outside of the United States or Israel. Syria is holding its first public trial for leaders from the Assad era, which fell in December 2024. Today, it began with Atif Najib, a former senior official and a cousin of the fallen Syrian dictator Assad. He is accused of mass shooting and torturing children. Footage showed Najib sitting in the cage wearing a striped prison uniform. The hearing took place inside the Central Palace of just of the of justice in Damascus. Meanwhile, Assad and other former officials are being tried in abse- uh sorry, in abs- in absentia. Absentia. Meaning they are being put on trial even though they are not physically in the courtroom. Tentially, I guess. That's I never heard of that word before. Sorry. Mind me. Okay. Now, the war is driving up the cost of everyday items made with petroleum. Now, last night, President Trump spoke on the phone with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The two leaders heavily disagreed on how to handle the war and the blockade. In the UK, a government minister warned that the effects of the war would last until the would last until next year or maybe even longer. The tension of the Strait of Hormuz is also causing major investors to put their money into something else. This includes Iraq's $24 billion development road corridor. Also in the UK, a massive fire broke out at RAF Fairford military site on Sunday morning. The United States military uses this exact British Royal Air Force base to launch strikes against Iran. Now, you can all imagine where this comes from. The The fire and rescue service fully extinguished the fire and told its crews to stay just to be secure. Investigations are still ongoing, but officials say it might be an accident. Well, the flag of Spain was seen at a pro-Islamic regime rally in Tehran, Iran. Protesters were waving the Spanish flag because Spain's Prime Minister, like I've said many times here, Pedro Sanchez is one of the few European leaders openly pushing policies against the United States and Israel. Sanchez runs a far-left social government socialist government and recently refused America's request for sharing military bases for the operation Epic Fury. However, as you remember, they also recently No, however, they also recently joined the forces in Europe to try and stop and punish stop trade and punish Israel for the war. Okay, United States and the European Union are working together more closely on critical minerals, such as materials needed for things like electric cars, phones, and weapons. The goal is to reduce dependence on China because China controls a large part of the global supply of these minerals. With this new agreement, the US and EU plan to secure new supply chains, supporting mining and recycling, and make agreements so they can get these materials from more countries in the future. Okay. The Slabodka Yeshiva, Hadav Dov Lando, delivered a clear message on Sunday evening. During his divrei chizuk, Hadav Lando shlita told the crowd that the Bnei Yeshiva will not go to the army. He explained, "Bnei Yeshiva will not go to the army under any circumstances, neither by coercion nor voluntarily, whether there is a law or not." After the address, Rav Lando met with another of the leading Gedolei Torah, and they discussed the ongoing crisis gears surrounding the military draft, and of course the future of the Oilam HaTorah in Eretz Yisrael. Due to the ongoing bombings, the traditional Lag BaOmer celebrations, Ve Zeh HaShem's with his Lag BaOmer, in Mount Meron, were canceled. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially stopped the yearly gathering because it is is to protect the crowds now with the ongoing war with Hezbollah. Israel's military has also also implemented strict new security rules. They said that only 1,500 people can attend gatherings inside Moshav Meron, which is nearby, and other border towns. Now, because of this new rule, the central bonfire lighting led by Harav Elimelech Biderman, shlita, was relocated to the corner of Yirmiyahu and Shamgar Streets, which is in Yerushalayim. A young Israeli girl named Karadi passed away after fighting for her life for nearly a month. She suffered critical injuries when an Iranian missile struck her home on Remot Street. You remember I reported it here not long ago? Thousands of Yidden gathered late last night for a heartbreaking levaya. Her father spoke at the funeral expressing deep faith and grief and grief over the loss of his daughter. Police took hundreds of Yidden out of the main building of Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood. This happened right in middle of Shabbos morning davening. What happened? At 10:00 a.m. on Shabbos, everyone was in middle of Musaf. Then someone reported a security threat. Police officers quickly cleared out the large um building and the Musaf Beth Medrash. The Yidden moved over to a nearby building in the yeshiva area to finish their finish davening, obviously. Police searched every part of the entire building. Once they were sure that the area was totally clear, the officers allowed everyone to go back inside again. They later announced that the threat was not real. The suspect who reported it was take uh the suspect who reported it was taken obviously by the police for questioning. A video of Williamsburg Hatzolah treating a non-Jewish child has spread very quickly on the internet. Since the Hatzolah, which is a Jewish voluntary emer- emergency medical service, as you EMS, right? Is it is unique to see that they were the first one to arrive at the scene. That's what was talked about online. The video of the rescue was posted to social media. It has already been watched more than 2.6 million times. The 70-year-old 78-year-old Jewish woman, Mrs. Litwin, who had gone missing, has been found Baruch Hashem on Friday. Now, she was found She was lost She was already reported lost since April 15 and was found at a at a hospital an hour away from her Los Angeles home. The good news is so it follows a massive search by the Vera of Rockland which traveled to Los Angeles like I told you that my friend um Shimmy Tauber, not Stauber. I said by mistake Stauber. Shimmy Tauber from 4 by 4 Decks reported the story to me and told me about it. So, I reported it here on Friday. Um anyway, so yeah, Vera of Rockland traveled there, 40 members I think. On the way they they stopped by the scene of the Rebbe of Satmar and davened for the for the hatzlacha and for obviously they found her, Baruch Hashem, alive and safe. The Satmar rabbonim are now upset officially at the New York City mayor, Eric Adams. They helped Adams win the elections, but he stopped the approval of a new rule called Intro 175. The rule, obviously, would have let New York City Police Department make safe spaces near schools and mosdos and during protests. This was especially important to the Jewish community because it would protect yeshivas, shuls, and children from angry protesters about the Gaza ongoing war right now. A Jewish man in Brussels was attacked on the metro by three men. They hit him and pulled off his necklace that had a Star of David on it. The victim, a 41-year-old David someone David I think Searsant I can't pronounce his name, said that the men asked him for directions and then they pushed him to the ground and hit his face many, many times. His glasses fell off and they took his necklace. Another hateful attack occurred on Shabbos morning, according to the police. A man attempted to force his way into the Swat Shakila Center, which is Ontario, Canada. He then attacked the victim in the shul in the shul before running away, though no injuries were reported. In West Africa, Mali's Defense Minister, General Sadio Camara, was killed after a massive car bomb exploded in front of his house. The assassination was carried out by a local branch of Al-Qaeda called the Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin. If you can pronounce that, you'll win a prize. Now, the bombing started a nationwide attack across the country. The Islamic terrorists joined forces with the local rebel group the to corner the to corner Malian and Russian soldiers. When the Russians were allowed to leave safely during a battle, they took the opportunity and then left their Malian allies behind. This is not a unique behavior from Russian soldiers, since they also previously left their allies in Syria, Venezuela, and Iran, which they did twice. When it seems fit, when they get benefits out of it, they stay, but when they don't, they just flee. We also have updates from last week's top news, and I'll just give it to you quickly. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to make his members vote again against his investigation, so calls about his resignation will stop. The calls for resignation began after he appointed this Peter Mandelson, like I said, the UK ambassador to Washington, right? After scandals. A top NATO commander warned that Russia still has a strong imperial strong imperial ambitions and is not only focused on Ukraine. He said Russia may want to influence may want influence over Soviet Union countries, and this would create long-term danger for nearby regions and NATO countries. Now, Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is still being treated at a secret location because of his serious injuries from an airstrike from the airstrike obviously that killed his father. According to Iranian reports, he is still able to think and make decisions, but will need surgery on his face plus a fake leg. He They're basically putting him together. That's why they put the cardboard up, I guess. He still has not gone out in public ever since the airstrike. He is nowhere to be seen. Some people think he's dead. He was obviously seen on a big massive poster with all the deadies from Iran. So, that makes a lot of people think, "Wait, he's dead or alive? Why is he on the list of deadies?" Okay, now, the Egyptian military will have exercise will have exercises near the border of Israel. The drills include live-fire training and military movement. So, Israeli citizens are worried especially with the ongoing war now. As you all know, Egypt is basically building its military. Very, very strongly, might I say. Nike is cutting about 1,400 jobs worldwide. This will affect workers who are under its technology, teams, and global operations. The The company says this is a part of a plan to make the business simpler, faster, and more efficient after weak sales in recent years. It also wants to use more automation, AI, to improve its supply chain, and tech systems. The layoffs affect workers in North America, Europe, and Asia, and they are less than 2% of Nike's total staff. Okay. Sebastian Sawe, a runner from Kenya, made history at the 2026 London Marathon. He finished the race in 1 hour and 59 minutes and 30 seconds. This is the first time a person officially finished a marathon in less than 2 hours. Might I say, a marathon is about how long? About 26 miles? 26 miles. This is crazy. I've never heard such a thing in my life. I think it's the first time in the world. Because of this, he also broke the the old world record of 2 hours and 35 seconds. Two other runners from from Ethiopia and Uganda also beat the world record, making the race one of the fastest marathons ever. Now, that's it for today's news, my friends. Again, my name is Gersh Woods, and I'm pleased to be here with you today. We'll see each other tomorrow. Let me quickly thank my other sponsor, Arrive Express, 845-622-1111 or 845-254-1111.
