00:00CNN has decided to cover the mayhem taking place in New York, and it's not going very well.
00:08Supposedly, some of these comments are as a result of the attempt against Mayor Mondani.
00:14To be clear, the attack wasn't on Mayor Mondani.
00:16It was at his house.
00:17It was attacking protesters, people protesting Mondani.
00:20There was no attempt on the mayor?
00:22To frame it as an attack would actually completely reverse what happened.
00:26Someone threw a bomb that didn't go off at the protest.
00:29They don't know what happened, or they do.
00:31They're just held hostage by the narratives they've created.
00:35It's not just CNN.
00:37The vast majority of the media coverage has tried to confuse you into thinking that it was the far-right
00:45protesters who were violent.
00:48So the media keeps saying that these IEDs were ignited outside Gracie Mansion, and that is intentional.
00:56They intentionally want you to think that the far-right protesters were being violent, but they were being nonviolent.
01:03Whatever you think of their ideology, I think it's bad.
01:06Whatever you think about it, that was protected speech.
01:08It was the people who were on the side of the left-wing agitators, these ISIS-inspired young people from
01:16Pennsylvania who were violent, the only ones who were violent there.
01:19And the entire media coverage on the left has sought to hide that from people.
01:24Yeah, for some reason.
01:25It's almost like we're not supposed to think that the left-wing agitators here might be on the wrong side
01:31of history.
01:31You guys see this nice little report from CNN?
01:33Yeah.
01:34It starts off, two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed in New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal
01:39day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.
01:42I wonder what happened next.
01:44But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change.
01:47I wonder what happened as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.
01:53Why would you start off this report with two Pennsylvania teenagers?
01:57Oh, oh, okay.
01:59Wow.
01:59Because they were motivated by ISIS and they're not white.
02:03That explains why we didn't get any honesty in reporting here.
02:06Yeah, yeah.
02:07Otherwise, this would have read something like two men motivated by ISIS conduct terrorist attack in New York City.
02:14Yeah, that's what honest journalism would look like.
02:15It's unbelievable the level of covering that we're looking at here.
02:19But the question is why?
02:20Why is it so hard to report the truth?
02:22The investigation escalated once again.
02:25Oh, it did?
02:25Federal sources telling me more IEDs were discovered in a Pennsylvania storage unit connected to this case.
02:32Wow.
02:32You can hear an explosion as the bomb squad conducted a controlled detonation.
02:38Are you kidding me?
02:39To safely remove these devices for further analysis.
02:41They had an arsenal, a weapons shed.
02:43Look at that, a public storage facility.
02:45Just, this is crazy.
02:48How come this can't get reported?
02:52That's wild.
02:54That's wild.
02:55Investigators say the homemade bombs Ibrahim Khayyumi and Amir Balat carried to a Saturday protest in New York City never
03:03detonated, but could have.
03:05But if they had, it would have been catastrophic.
03:08That's crazy.
03:08Both men appeared in federal court yesterday.
03:10The FBI says the suspects made multiple pro-ISIS statements, and one of them expressed a desire to carry out
03:18an attack even bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.
03:22Fox News Digital captured these images of the homes of the two suspects, both located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
03:30Wow.
03:30They live in some nice homes, and apparently their parents came to the U.S. from somewhere else.
03:38And this is the life that their parents were able to provide for them.
03:43Look, you've got two cars in the driveway.
03:45Why would they disrespect all the sacrifices their parents made to come here?
03:49This is very frightening.
03:51Both men are U.S. citizens.
03:53One suspect's parents naturalized U.S. citizens from Turkey.
03:57Oh, wow.
03:58The other naturalized U.S. citizens from Afghanistan.
04:01An attorney for Amir Balat on the left said his client was a high school senior with, quote, complicated stuff
04:08going on in his personal life.
04:10What?
04:10Ibrahim Khayyumi on the right graduated from high school in 2024, according to a Pennsylvania school district.
04:17Listen, just because you're in high school, if you're 18 or older, you're an adult in this country.
04:22I don't care if you're still in high school.
04:25That doesn't matter.
04:26There's no excuse for this.
04:27And to refer to people as children or teenagers, I mean, we're missing the point here.
04:34Unless the point is to cover it up.
04:36Here's the original post.
04:37CNN writing, quote, two Pennsylvania teenagers...
04:40Oh, they deleted that.
04:41...crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city...
04:46...during abnormally warm weather.
04:48Yeah, that's their first line.
04:51But after facing fierce criticism, CNN put out a statement saying the post, quote,
04:55failed to reflect the gravity of the incident, thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting.
05:01Look, if you have editorial standards that are required for all reporting, how does something get published and reported if
05:09it breaches those standards?
05:12Maybe there was a mix up, but some people are gonna look at this and they're gonna say, you know
05:16what, this was done on purpose.
05:18And the only reason there's any backtracking was because there was enough complaining.
05:23Meanwhile, Elon Musk says the person with the blow horn is actually the most dangerous.
05:28And then tell everyone else!
05:30Yes!
05:31Wow!
05:31That's me in the video, getting a bomb thrown over my head.
05:34We were counter protesting, making Jake Lang look like the idiot that he is.
05:39Okay.
05:39When these two idiots came along and committed an act of terrorism.
05:42They could not have done more to legitimize Jake Lang's talking points.
05:47They literally threw the bomb over my head while I was talking about inclusion.
05:51Elon Musk and all of right-wing media are having a field day right now because I am choosing inclusion
05:59and not bigotry.
06:00Well, you are choosing inclusion and multiple things can exist at once.
06:04But let's go back to the beginning.
06:05You called Jake Lang a racist idiot and you said those two terrorists are idiots as well.
06:09But you're also an idiot.
06:11There were at least four idiots there that day.
06:13I talked about why Jake Lang is an idiot.
06:15Obviously, those two terrorists are idiots because, well, they're terrorists.
06:19I don't think I need to explain too much of that in detail.
06:21And you're an idiot because you almost got blew up and you're not even recalibrating and saying, hmm, it is
06:27important who we let into our country.
06:29But the problem for the protesters and for networks like CNN is if they want to admit that any of
06:34this is a problem, their entire world falls apart.
06:38But here's what the mayor has to say.
06:40Hi.
06:40Hi.
06:41Hi.
06:42So given that both of the alleged attackers at Gracie said they were inspired by ISIS and given New York
06:49City's sort of perennial status as a soft target, I was wondering if you had any words of advice to
06:55any young people who might find themselves being drawn to that particular ideology.
07:00I think first and foremost, just to make it clear to everyone that extremism and hatred of any kind will
07:09not be tolerated in our city.
07:13Right.
07:14And that is regardless of whatever ideology motivates any person to commit an act of violence, there is no tolerance
07:21for it here.
07:22What we want to deliver to New Yorkers is a city that is safe, is a city that believes in
07:28the values where everyone.
07:29Everyone who calls New York City home is a part of it.
07:32This all sounds great.
07:33But people are saying the mayor's actions recently do not line up with what he just said.
07:39And CNN got this one right.
07:42He's taking some heat from some circles after posting this picture with a high profile Palestinian activist detained and released
07:48by ICE.
07:48The mayor writes, quote, we marked the one year anniversary of detention.
07:52Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, meaning Mahmoud Khalil.
07:56Ooh.
07:56Noor and their son Dean to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
07:59It is Ramadan.
08:00Yeah, he's not controversial.
08:01Mahmoud is a New Yorker and he belongs in New York City, unquote.
08:03Now, you might remember Mahmoud Khalil as the anti-Israel protester from Columbia University, to say the least.
08:09Right.
08:10This is who he's having dinner with after this recent event while making statements that everyone belongs in New York
08:17City.
08:18But he's having people over at his house that may not hold those same beliefs while his wife is liking
08:24posts by people just like this individual.
08:27There is a real problem here, a real mismatch between public statements from the mayor and what's going on in
08:33his own home.
08:33But just before we continue, you may have seen the conversations online lately about how censorship is back and it's
08:41happening everywhere.
08:42Platforms are controlling narratives and they're pushing the stuff they want us to see.
08:47We need to fight back.
08:48And Rumble is the only company that has stood the test of time and deserves our support.
08:54On the one side, Rumble is challenging big tech censorship.
08:58But on the other side, they have introduced something that will give us protection from the big banks shutting us
09:04down.

10:07The Trump administration is working through an appeal to try to deport him for exercising his First Amendment rights.
10:14Let's discuss this and more with the panel.
10:17So today, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told the New York Post,
10:22no one should be fedding the anti-American pro-terrorist activities of Mahmoud Khalil,
10:27who made his name as a ringleader of violent anti-American and anti-Semitic university protests.
10:32While destroying Columbia.
10:33Foreign policy interest, the Trump administration goes on.
10:36Guy's dangerous.
10:37To accuse him of leading activities aligned to Hamas.
10:42What do you make of that?
10:43That is a big accusation.
10:45So first of all, I get the point.
10:47He's defending, like he was exercising his First Amendment rights.
10:51I get the talking point.
10:53Part of my problem is that we live in a culture now that the second you're discriminated against
10:57or the face state action because you're doing because of your First Amendment right exercises.
11:03That makes you a martyr, makes you kind of a hero.
11:06This guy's not a hero.
11:06He's a pot.
11:07Yeah.
11:08The organization that he was part of just got into trouble at the beginning of this war by tweeting out
11:14death to America.
11:16The organization was pro Hamas.
11:18It was he and the organization defended the 10-7 attacks in pretty.
11:24And this is a big problem.
11:27This goes against the idea that New York City is a welcoming place for everyone.
11:31If folks like this are going to be held up as the standard we should all aspire to.
11:36And as people we should listen to whose opinions should matter to all of us when they don't.
11:41The other night, instead of hosting the two-star police chief who leaped over the barricades and ran this guy
11:48down who had thrown the bomb,
11:51the mayor decides at Gracie Manchin to host Mahmoud Khalil.
11:55I mean, he's sending such an awful, awful message here to the rank and file.
12:00Wow.
12:00And remember, the mayor, when he was a private citizen who had commented on Twitter then that he saw a
12:06cop crying in his car and nature was healing.
12:10This is something that, again, the men and women of the NYPD will do the right thing.
12:14They're going to enforce the laws.
12:16They're going to show up for work.
12:17But they understand that this man on the screen right now does not have their backs.
12:24And those same cops that he wanted to defund, especially that unit that is responsible for the protests,
12:32they are the people that saved his life over the weekend.
12:35You know that phrase, you are who you hang out with?
12:38Well, that phrase is not aging well in the context here.
12:41Meanwhile, the mayor is continuing to use the city's unaffordability crisis to inflict us all with communism.
12:49Listen to this.
12:51So here we zoe again.
12:54Mayor Mom Donnie moving closer to making his progressive dream a reality.
12:58A progressive dream.
12:59His campaign promised to make New York City home to the nation's highest minimum wage is now headed to city
13:05council for approval.
13:06Oh!
13:06If passed, minimum wage would nearly double in the Big Apple by 2030,
13:10jumping from $17 an hour today to $30 an hour.
13:15Now, here's how this afflicts everybody here with communism.
13:19If you double the minimum wage, you're going to half the number of people employed at some of the companies
13:25that now have to pay twice as much.
13:27And what does that mean?
13:28It means there's going to be more redistribution for all of the programs that are supposed to be helping people.
13:33All of the freebies.
13:34There's going to be more excuses for freebies because we're going to now have more people who don't have access
13:39to the American dream for some reason that we just can't seem to figure out.
13:43Even though our goal is to bring about an economic system that has never worked anywhere in the world and
13:48is going to be tried in America for the first time right here.
13:52Mom and pop shops say that with already sky high rent and rising costs, this pay high could be the
13:58final straw and force them to cut jobs.
14:01Larry Kudlow, explain why minimum wage does, or I'm assuming in your opinion, does not work.
14:08I think he should have gone right to 50.
14:11Try to cheapskate.
14:13You know what I mean?
14:13That means why stop us doing it?
14:16Why not?
14:16That's what I would have done.
14:18But I mean, look, these guys are working off margins that are very small, you know, urban stores.
14:25I mean, except for some of the fancy.
14:29And when they close down, there's going to be another excuse for the free grocery stores that are on their
14:35way.
14:35European stores.
14:37But your basic mom and pop store doesn't have much of a profit margin.
14:41No.
14:41So you're going to have to pay labor.
14:42It's hard to just they're not going to have the productivity gains to keep unit labor costs down.
14:49And justify it.
14:50I mean, you should let the market should set the wage price.
14:55The market should set the clearing price of whatever goods or services you're buying.
14:59It's just crazy stuff.
15:02It's socialist stuff.
15:04But, you know.
15:04But what fascinates me, Brian, is that the messaging works.
15:10People hear higher wage and they think, yes, power to the people.
15:15But they don't understand the ripple effects.
15:17Because they walk into a business like, let's just say, a Target or a massive store where there's a whole
15:24bunch of workers.
15:25And they say, gee, wouldn't it be great if everybody in here earned twice as much money?
15:28I mean, of course it would be.
15:30But the problem is, if the people who are there are all forced to earn twice as much money,
15:34half of them are going to have to disappear for that place to stay open.
15:38So the consequence is not apparent when you look at a potential problem.
15:43Here's the other problem.
15:44How does somebody get $30 worth of skills?
15:46How do they get that?
15:48They don't get it in high school.
15:49They probably don't get it at NYU.
15:51They get it from the workforce.
15:53If you enter the workforce and you have to enter at $30 an hour worth of skills,
15:59and your skills are maybe around the $10 or lower range, how do you get that first job you don't?
16:05And we have the AI conversation.
16:07Will AI kill jobs or create jobs?
16:09And I think it's going to create jobs overall.
16:10But the area where I do think it will team up with policy and kill jobs is this.
16:16Yes, there are moms and pops that may not be able to employ AI.
16:20But then you've got that whole layer of retail where it's actually like national or multinational retail and they have
16:26operations here.
16:27And they see this and they've got 10 companies with an AI solution breathing down their neck saying,
16:33if you don't want to pay $30 an hour, I've got a way for you to do inventory and stocking
16:38and tracking and customer service and you don't need any people.
16:42And AI is going to get a toehold and I don't blame AI for doing this.
16:45But you know that their salespeople are calling these companies right now and saying we can help you avoid the
16:50cost of this.
16:51And those companies are going to say yes.
16:53And Zoran is going to blame AI and he's going to want to regulate AI.
16:57And the problem isn't AI, it's you.
17:00But this is perfect if your objective is to put communism in place somewhere because you need external problems caused
17:07by your own policies that you can then circle back to and say,
17:10Hey, this is the reason over here for why we need more of the stuff that I want for why
17:14we need more free grocery stores.
17:16And to get that free stuff, I have to raise taxes.
17:19You know what else they're talking about doing here?
17:20Look at this right here.
17:23Taxes are going up in New York City to pay for all the free stuff.
17:27But now the Democratic Socialists of America are drumming up support to tax people who make more than $300,000
17:37a year.
17:38That was never something the mayor ran on.
17:42Everything is going to implode on New York City from a financial perspective.
17:45And the sad thing is the voters here who voted in socialism, they're the ones that are going to have
17:50to pay for it.
17:50This is not even the mayor's fault.
17:52The mayor was completely clear about who he was.
17:54He was clear about what he supported.
17:56He was clear about what his political background was.
17:59He was clear about the economic system he wanted and people voted for it.
18:03So all the news we're watching, the guests he has for dinner, all of this, none of it should be
18:08surprising at all.
18:09What do you think about this?
18:11I'll see you in the next video.
