In today's video, we have some big updates. First, TSA waitlines at your local airport is now seeing three to four hour wait times. This is the latest blow to Democrats. Also, Mondani had a ridiculous response to the terrorist attack that took place in New York City where both of these individuals who were arrested are now indicted. And finally, Democrats are refusing to fund what's happening with Iran, much more to get to in this video. But let's start off with the wait times at these airports. Take a listen. Here is the latest on the delays. The hours-long delays, not over yet. And the latest from Houston Hobby Airport, one of the worst in the country, is that the way to get through TSA is about three hours long right now. That's the worst nationwide.

New Orleans reporting two hour long waits. DFW, 37 minutes. Atlanta, 32 minutes. Miami, 30 minutes. Those numbers really pale in comparison to what Houston Hobby looked like yesterday. Hobby, a major hub, really the headquarters for Southwest Airlines. And traffic is ramping up right now for spring break. The airport has been posting about this, telling passengers to arrive for their flight four to five hours early.

That is so early that Southwest would typically not even accept a bag if you were dropping one off to be checked. But Southwest tells us it's now making special exemptions for travelers to do that. And the airlines also put into place a travel waiver, meaning those flying through hobby can change their plans for free. Remember, though, that TSA agents are considered essential personnel. during this shutdown, meaning they're currently reporting to work without getting any pay. So when a handful of agents don't report to work, that can have an outsized impact. And Houston's airport director puts it like this. Strong travel demand plus fewer TSA agents means the lines are growing out of control.

One more video. This was the line yesterday at Louis Armstrong, New Orleans International Airport. Some of the lines stretched all the way out of the terminal and into a parking garage. Passengers flying out of New Orleans are being told now to arrive three hours before their flight. Okay, so let's make sure you guys understand what's going on in case it wasn't made clear. Due to the partial government shutdown of DHS, which governs FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, cyber awareness, there's a certain agency for that. And, of course, ISM Border Patrol, it is starting to finally catch up at these airports.

Now, my own personal experience, I actually ran into a similar issue. when I flew out of Austin to go to that Fox News panel I was on on Harris Faulkner, which was amazing. And it took a while as well. I was actually pretty shocked. Now, just a quick tip, if you have pre-TSA check right now, for my people who have that, if you go and log into your particular airline, the loyalty account, there should be an option there for you to sign up to something called touchless pre-TSA check. What does that mean exactly? It's another line that nobody's really in for people who don't want to show their actual ID because they've verified your passport. Now, if that didn't make any sense, just Google it and it will be explained to you,

okay? But I learned that lesson. Anyways, let's go to how Democrats feel about defunding DHS at this point. So you guys can see both sides. Take a listen. They've made an affirmative decision that they would rather shut down FEMA, shut down the Coast Guard, and shut down TSA as opposed to getting ICE under control. Until we have a Homeland Security Secretary and a White House that are committed to ending this illegality,

the terrorizing of American communities by the Department of Homeland Security, I'm not going to support anybody who's up for that mission. They don't believe they're accountable. And so I can't say it enough. Don't give them any money. Don't confirm a DHS secretary. Continue to drag them in in front of you and put the guardrails around. We could have funded every agency under the department.

Department of Homeland Security, except for ICE and for CBP. And I will not vote for another dime for these agencies. So bottom line here, it's clear that Democrats are repeating the same thing they did last year, which is to weaponize part of the government to get what they want. And in the end, it hurts innocent American citizens, whether that is people who are traveling, whether those are people who are being hurt in these terror attacks that have already happened on our soil, or it's with actual TSA employees who, just miss their paycheck or they're about to, this is not what people voted for whatsoever.

And then they want to play games even further by saying, hey, we will fund most of DHS, but we won't fund ICE and Border Patrol. That is just a non-starter. But why don't we go to the most damning of this, all of this, is the TSA agents and that paycheck. Transportation Security Officer Robert Castaneta spoke to me before starting his shift at Sky Harbor. The partial government shutdown is impacting the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA. And while members of Congress argue about a deal, officers like Castaneda aren't getting paid for the hours they've worked since the shutdown began 12 days ago. There are many families that rely on their paycheck. Many of our officers work paycheck to paycheck. Castaneda and the other

officers are labeled essential so they're required to report to work. But this comes on the heels of the historic government shutdown that lasted over 40 days last fall. Castanetta says people need to know that money didn't come right away. It took two. pay periods to get caught up. And then there were still many officers nationwide who did not receive all of their back pay up until January. That's my numbing if you really think about it, which really motivates me to go back to this main point. I made at the beginning of the video because, you know, me, I like to be solution oriented. I told you guys about TSA pre-check touchless ID. Here it is on their website. We'll link it below this video. But again, if you go to your

loyalties program for the people who actually fly very often, what you'll find is when you're going through the airport, there's a line for TSA pre-check touchless ID. Then there's a line for clear pre-TSA check, which is a private company. And then there's a line for pre-TSA check. I know. There's like three separate lines now. The line where no one's literally standing in, where you literally bypass at least 50 people is what happened at Austin is the touchless ID line. So if you guys have the ability to do that, I would highly recommend it. But at any rate, shout out to our TSA agents, right? For consistency. continuing to obviously show up.

Now, let's go to a couple of statements made by travelers. Here's what they had to say. How many of you guys are traveling together? We have about 94 kids and 14 adults. And can you tell us what time you got here and how long you've been waiting in line? I arrived around 320 and we've been in line since then. We're supposed to catch a light at 745, we hope. And what words do you have to describe this line and what you guys are waiting in?

Crazy. It's really crazy. Honestly, didn't expect. the ridiculousness of how big this line is. It was like something out of a movie. Lines were out the door, and unfortunately, we missed our flight. So this is our second time back, and we are back in line again. Here, we go through customs, and it's so packed in here.

You can't even find the direction they're trying to get. It came through, had to weave through a bunch of lines that was actually just one line for the security, that wove all around. and it was where does it start? And they're like in the garage. So yeah, it was insane. I was glad I was early. The president and CEO of Airlines for America shared, quote,

as TSA officers are facing a zero dollar paycheck this week, we're seeing firsthand the significant strengths that the current DHS shutdown is causing across the aviation system. The airline industry and our passengers are being used as a political football once again. This is simply unacceptable. and un-American. As I stated, things are crazy. There's no question about it.

Okay, let's go to our next big update. This is just breaking, by the way. So the NYPD Police Commissioner just announced that there are official charges being brought against the two.

terrorists that tried to take out anti-Muslim protesters in front of the governor's mansion in New York City, Zoroamandani, that is. And in case you missed it, here is what the charges are. Take a look. We charge two individuals today, Balot and Cayumi. They are charged federally with five counts. Attempted provision of material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. use of a weapon of mass destruction, transportation of explosive materials, interstate transportation and receipt of explosives,

and unlawful possession of destructive devices. The facts alleged in the complaint are just that allegations and our great system of justice they must be proven, and the defendants have the presumption of innocence. Commissioner Tisch did an exceptional job outlining the facts alleged in the complaint. These were ISIS-inspired actions. And it is chilling that they wanted to do something more than the Boston Marathon, more than three deaths. Free speech and peaceable assembly are the bedrock of American democracy.

But violence is not protected. And it's not protected protest. It's not protected speech. In communities across Canada, hourly Amazon employees earn an average of over $24.50 an hour. Employees also have the opportunity to grow their skills and their paycheck by enrolling in free skills training programs for in-demand fields, like software development and information technology.

Learn more at aboutamazon.ca. Well, you know, it's interesting. I am of the belief. can choose what is protected speech. Because on one hand, the violent rioters that burnt up a police precinct in Minneapolis, Minnesota, they never went to prison. The people who clearly vandalize government property in Portland, Oregon, they never went to prison. Let's not even get into what happened in Los Angeles recently or people who were vandalizing Teslas and the like last year. But it's always a pick and choose moment. And that's the unfortunate part here. I do appreciate them

obviously holding these people accountable. I mean, there's no doubt about that. but I do want to call out the double standard here. Now, let's go to the police commissioner. Here's what she had to say. As alleged, both defendants have admitted that they acted on Saturday because of ISIS. As Kiyumi was being placed into an NYPD vehicle following his arrest, a person in the crowd asked why he had done this. As shown on NYPD bodyworn camera footage, reference in the complaint,

Kiyumi responded with ISIS. And at the precinct, after being advised of his Miranda rights and waiving those rights, Cayumi said in recorded post-arrest statements that he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone and that his actions that day were partly inspired by ISIS. The complaint also detailed statements made by Amir Balat after his arrests. On route to the NYPD precinct, Balot made spontaneous statements without being questioned by NYPD officers that were captured on body-worn camera footage.

She said, this isn't a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet. We take action, we take action, as well as, if I didn't do it, someone else will come and do it. And later, after waiving his rights, he requested paper and wrote a message declaring in part. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State, die in your rage, you Kufar. Now, just imagine that. These are the type of people who are living in our country. And then you wonder why Republicans or conservatives are so hell bent on our vetting system and immigration. But hey, we are the bigots, right?

You see, this is what I'm continuing to call fatal empathy. That's the correct term here. They say they have empathy for all these people they believe to be victims. And when I say they, I'm talking about white liberals. They look at everyone else as victims. So they tolerate soft on crime policies. There's no reason to have people like that. in our country unless we allow it to happen.

That's exactly what happened under the previous administration. It's just finally catching up to us. Let's go through the merits of the case. New Orleans, that was a terrorist attack. Two National Guardmen gunned down in D.C. that was a terrorist attack. Austin Barr, that just happened a couple of weeks ago, that was a terrorist attack. And now this, that's four. I mean, when are people going to wake up here?

Federal sources have told me these two men made ISIS-inspired statements while in custody. Now we expect both of them. to face federal charges. And this morning, we've got a new look at Ibrahim Kiyumi and Emir Balot. As they were escorted by members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, you can see here that Kayumi handcuffed

exits from under the scaffolding first. Balat is behind him, also cuffed with his hands chained to his waist. Despite this, he waves a single finger and appears to say something that we can't hear. The mayor says both men traveled from Pennsylvania to New York City to commit acts of terrorism.

Here is the harrowing moment that one of the devices was thrown. On Saturday, both men were taken into custody in connection with two IEDs that thankfully did not detonate but contained nuts, bolts, screws. Today, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish said one of the devices, has tested positive for a powerful explosive called TATP. And what's interesting is Vandani's in a unique situation. What does he have to say about that? Well, he issues his usual blanket statements that his staffer probably wrote for him. But this guy really, he's not.

His concern is more on people who are anti-Muslim, if that makes sense. That's what he doesn't like. Remember, during his election campaign when he debated Andrew Cuomo, he was so fixated on Cuomo being able to. to recite and name the different mosque around New York City. Who the hell cares about that? What about the safety of New Yorkers? What about the affordability?

No, no, no. He's focused on mosque people. That was one of the biggest red flags that I seen. So he doesn't, this terror attack doesn't have him triggered, sort of speak. Okay. What actually had him triggered was the anti-Muslim protest, which he called a protest that was rooted in white supremacy. Take a listen.

On Saturday, a protest was held outside Gracie Mansion, where I live with my wife Rama. Neither of us were home at the time. This was a vile protest rooted in white supremacy entitled Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City. I'm the first Muslim mayor of our city. Anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is it anything new for the one million or so Muslim New Yorkers who know this city as our home. While I found this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief that it should be allowed to happen.

Ours is a free society where the right to peaceful protest is sacred. It does not belong only to those we agree with. It belongs to everyone. I will defend that right every day that I am mayor, even when those protesting say things that I abhor. Let me also be clear about something else. New York City will never tolerate violence, whether from protests or counter protests. So he says violence won't be tolerated.

But he tolerates violence, especially against NYPD. There was just a man who picked up a knife, tried to stab a police officer. He wanted him released. And let's not get into a criminal legal aliens who continued to kill New Yorkers, by the way. But he tolerates that by blocking cooperation between NYPD and federal authorities. So I guess he only refuses to tolerate violence when it comes to his fate. I don't know. Apocracy runs deep, folks.

No investigators are looking at the suspects past travel to Turkey and other potential locations known as terror training grounds. Investigators say the criminal complaint for both men is expected to come out sometime this afternoon. Overnight, the FBI searching the suspect's homes in Pennsylvania. And I'm told others were taken into custody for further questioning. The chaos unfolded on Saturday afternoon when police say the two suspects showed up encounter protest to an anti-Muslim protest organized by far-right provocateur Jake Lang near Gracie Mansion home to New York City's first Muslim mayor. The New York Times reports one of the suspect's motives was disrespect against Muslims. One of the men heard saying this as he was taken into

custody. Yeah, so the similarities here, why we say that white, liberals are the most dangerous thing in our country is because some of their behavior mirrors what you just seen there from that idiot. They believe their course of action is violence. That's their first course of action. Not debate, not agreeing to disagree, not proving people through your results and your character. No, let's bypass all of that and go straight to violence. That's why they have no business to be in this country. If we have the ability to prevent someone like that from inter in this country, we should do it. Now, of course, those same white liberals that I told you were dangerous, they don't believe in that. No, we should let everybody come into our country.

Mass amnesty for the entire world, please. That's essentially what they believe. All in the name of what I call now fatal empathy. Yeah, that's exactly what's going on. Everybody's a victim. So I have to have empathy for these people to the point where it's fatal to our society and our country. Okay. So at this point, let's go to our next breaking news update. And this is a big one. This is coming out of the country of Iran. They have tapped a new president to run their country. And it's not coming from the people here, folks.

This guy has been tapped by the RGC themselves. In fact, he's the son of the late Supreme Leader who was killed in the original airstrikes. Listen to this. Crowds are gathering across Iran to pledge allegiance to the new Supreme Leader chanting support for Moshtaba Homini. He's the second son of the former Supreme Leader who was killed in the U.S. Israeli strike. Mochdeba Khomeini's wife and mother were also killed in the same airstrikes. The 56-year-old has kept a low profile and has never held government office. He served in the Iran-Iraq War when he was just 17 years old.

He has strong links with the security establishment and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. And was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2019. The U.S. Treasury Department said he was working to advance his father's, quote, destabilizing regional ambitions and oppressive domestic objectives. President Trump had previously called him, quote, unacceptable as Iran's new supreme leader. A former Pentagon advisor says Iran chose him as a direct message to Trump and Israel. And Israeli official tells CNN, quote, I doubt the Iranian people want to replace one Ayatollah with another Ayatola.

Also this morning, multiple Israeli officials are now making it abundantly clear. Iran's new supreme leader is a target. as well. Last hour, I spoke with Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danone. He told me anyone calling for death to Israel and the U.S. should watch their back. Okay. So at this point, I think it's very clear. Number one, that this Iranian regime is refusing to go away. They have not backed down. They have not compromised here. In fact, they're appointing this new leader to spite the president, that is, Donald J. Trump. Now, as we know, his family's dead and gone, and he's definitely going to be next. I believe he's literally.

been on borrowed time, they'll end up finding him. Number two here, which actually points to why this cannot drag on. Because ultimately, in the end, if he ends up being the leader long term and they don't take him out and nothing really changes as far as the regime is concerned, this is an absolute failure. There's no question about it. I'm sure the White House knows that. And they're doing whatever they can to get those results. But let's go to this perspective. Here's how CNN looks at this appointment. Take a look. It's an absolute act of defiance. It is a message to the Trump administration, to the Israeli prime minister, that Iran is not backing down, that it does not intend to surrender, as Trump said they must, and that it is going to continue defending its existence, essentially.

So this really pits the U.S. and Israel on one hand and Iran on the other now in a real existential standoff here. as we start to talk about what a potential off-ramp might look like in the midst of all of this pressure building up with the global energy market and the countries in the Gulf, as you mentioned earlier, really bearing the brunt of this, the appointment of Chaminet's son, who's lost several other family members, by the way, when his father was assassinated,

gives us the sense we should expect to see, further escalation moving forward in the coming days. Now, at this point, not only does the White House have to deal with this, but they also have to deal with the fight that's happening here at home with Democrats. As you guys know, they continue to leave DHS defund it, and now they're refusing to send any more money to the Department of War because of this conflict. Here for yourself. Would you support funding this war? I mean, not a single senator who opposes this war should support a additional dollar for Iran. If they bring a request for funding for Congress, we should

draw a line in the sand. I'm not going to support funding for something that they refuse to even come before Congress and justify in open hearings. I think the idea that we have our troops right now, you know, overseas on battleships and planes in our bases, you know, the idea of defunding them in the middle of that. That doesn't seem like the right move to me. Now, the irony to me is this. They're saying that they're going to ask for $50 billion. I want you to compare that to the actual budget of the Department of War, which is nearing

a trillion dollars. And by the way, the last time they voted on that, which was the Defense Authorization Act, it passed literally, like 99% of Congress said yes on that. So I don't think they're going to have problem getting money here. This is just for show in front of the cameras. I don't think they want to be on record for a defense. funding our own troops, I think that would be a huge blowback in my opinion. But if you guys need to watch one more ignorant clip here from the left, look no further than the TV show The View,

who has a new co-host just for this week where she's already made a full of herself. She says the president should be impeached over what's happening in Iran. Take a listen. And see, here's my problem with it. If it was such a problem, then why didn't the president run on that? Why didn't he clearly say that's what he was. wanted to do. If you're talking about regime change or you're talking about No More Forever Wars, but now we're in something that you're not telling us why. And I put on a uniform to serve this country. And I always wanted to know why am I doing this? It's me in the Air Force Redire. Why are we doing it? And I do believe when they say you should not follow an unlawful

order. Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians to say this dude don't have it all the way together. He cannot be the commander-in-chief. Thank you for your service. Thank you. Because I'm following the commander-in-chev and to those families of those seven, we should care more about them than someone's personal interest if you are going to wage war. Because at first it wasn't a war, but now's the Department of War. Now you are waging war, and you are putting American lives and soldiers at risk. Correct. Yeah, completely woke, unfortunately. Infected by the woke mind virus, ladies and gentlemen, there was no substantive thought in anything that she said there. That was all political theater. Again, you can disagree with foreign policy,

but to rise to the level and say what he is doing is impeachable, that tells me you're playing partisan politics. He's not doing anything illegal. He's not doing anything differently than any other president who's come before him. The only difference here is he's actually taking all of that talk that Democrats have had over the past few decades regarding Iran, and he's executing that with action. Now they're losing their minds over it. Okay. That's what's really happening. And for the record, since we're all continuing to hear on social media that our service members don't like this, that they shouldn't be involved in this, and they should get out of the military, you shouldn't join the military. Why don't we just look at the poll themselves? Do service members even support what's going on here?

Well, according to CNN, the answer is yes. Overall, public, and those who are either currently or have served in the military. Take a look at this Fox News poll that came out during the past week. Net approval rating of the current U.S. military action against Iran. Look at that. Overall, Fox News shows a dead even split. But look at those who served in the military. Significantly higher support for the U.S. military action currently going on in Iran, it plus 20 points. That should not be so much of a surprise because take a look at how they view Trump's foreign policy overall. Again, look at those who served in the U.S. military versus overall. If you look at Trump's foreign policy overall, the net approval rating on that per Fox News. Those who served

in the military, they like what's going on average. Look at that. The net approval rating plus eight points for Trump's foreign policy. But look at those overall. Way, way, way down there at minus 20 points. We're talking about a nearly 30 point gap between those who served in the military and overall. And this split, when it comes to those who served in the military and overall dates back to Trump's elections, all way back to 2016, but let's look at the 2024 numbers. Look at this. 2024 results. Those who served in the military, Trump won them by, get this, 31 points.

Kamala Harris actually won all other voters by two points. And that means Johnny Berman. That means that Donald Trump only won in 2024 because of support from those who served in the military. Well, I think that is the bottom line so far, folks. We're still in a wait and see pattern. We will see if the president's able to get the result that he's promising here, which is a short campaign to eradicate the Iranian regime.

and give the people of Iran the ability to rise up. And in the end, this is long term in the best interest of the Middle East and America. On one hand, he's got a part of his supporters who don't believe that whatsoever. And on the other hand, you just saw the poll. There are people who do support it. So you'll have to make up your own mind. It's not for me to tell you what you should support. All I ask of of you is just focus on the results.

Are they successful or not? And I think this is a great time to get your guys' thoughts in the comments to all of these stories today, whether we're starting with the TSA nonsense, all due to DHS being defunded by Democrats because they want to play these politics or Zeramandani, blaming this protest against Muslims as white supremacy. Just give me your thoughts and everything you've got in the comment section below. Now, since we ended this story off talking about Iran, I think it's fitting.

We go to this next video, which is about the troop invasion or potential, might I say, because the president has refused to rule that strategy out. So the question is why is that? Well, that's exactly what we answer in the next video. So if you're interested, click on that video because it's coming up right now. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared.

That's why I remember 988 Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis hubline. is funded by the government in Canada.
