You've got this Zoran Mamdani October 7th situation exposing a lot and dividing the this Kimberly Guilfoyle $100,000 credit card bills scandals.
Insane. I award our first ever cringey weirdo of the day.
You also have the cops now reportedly responding after that disturbing FG TV video. You had five people dead as police now think they might have a serial killer on the—we're talking about all of that.
And even more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show. You daily dive into the news, starting with So somehow. Mamdani, attending a peaceful vigil for October 7th.
Victims turned into full on chaos, with pro-Palestinian protesters shouting about how Zoran is a traitor and a sellout who is responsible for the genocide.
And yeah, we're talking about these Oron Mamdani, one of the loudest critics of Israeli politics.
The same guy who just recently planted an olive tree with Palestinian families, a Gracie mansion, and a few months ago declined to participate in New York's Israel Day in saying that decision was a political stance against Israel's genocide of Palestinians?
Saying he's proud to be the mayor of a city with the largest Jewish population in the country. But solidarity with a government that's committing genocide.
That is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific and with that, again, we're talking about the same guy who has repeatedly called Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal and threatened to arrest.
But this, this was the energy that he was met with when he held a candle to remember the people who died on October Describing.
What do you remember as a.
Blah blah some of the other channels, reportedly including Zoran? What do you say? How many kids did he kill as well as Zoran? You can't hide. We charge you with genocide.
And well, Mamdani didn't respond to the protesters.
You just had him kind of standing there looking stony reportedly, he was standing there for more than an hour as he was shouted generally, you're saying most people going, this is this is pretty outrageous stuff to yell at this Right.
A mayor who faces relentless criticism from some people who can play his anti-Israel and anti. Netanyahu stands with anti-Semitism. That's why.
And what we've seen is that throughout his time as mayor, he's made a real effort to work on his relationship with the Jewish community in New York Celebrating holidays with Jewish New Yorkers, meeting with Jewish leaders and going to events like this an event that was actually organized by a pro peace Israeli group to mourn the 1200 lives were lost when Hamas attacked a music festival in also had Rad Lander, the Democratic nominee for New York's 10th congressional district, attending with him also telling reporters that he was sad that the testimony reading was overpowered by the protest and calling it a, quote, flattening of adding, from where I sit, Dani is a very strong supporter of Palestinian freedom and human rights.
Don't know what world leaders have done more.
Because as we know and as I've covered on the show, Israel, since that music festival has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, which is why you have many saying that there aren't two sides here, that it's a.
And so then with that, you also have people who see honoring the Israeli victims is ignoring the Palestinian victims or downplaying Palestinian and actually in a press conference today, he was asked about the protesters and being called a traitor.
And here's what he and do you feel misunderstood?
You know, I was proud to attend last night's vigil, as I did last year, to listen to testimonies from family members of those who were killed on October 7th, and those have been killed in the three years since, and all of whom united in a vision for peace and an end to the genocide in Gaza.
And when we're speaking of that genocide, we're speaking of one that has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians in the last three years.
As for those protesting me, I am the mayor of New York City, and this is what I signed up for.
So as these videos from the vigil have gone viral, people have in a lot of different reactions to and you had some big names that have often been connected to him, like Hasan Piker, sort of supporting the protesters, or at least saying that he understands where they're coming. If you want it to be frictionless. If the only alternative people see.
To Zorn's inability to address them is, you know, public demonstrations. Then people are going to do public demonstrations.
These people don't have the opportunity to speak to Zoran behind closed doors.
These like, ultra exclusive private affairs, you also had him writing in a tweet, he tried to participate in the most appropriate October 7th saying these protests would occur nonetheless, but would be less valid if he had offered material concessions to the anti-Zionist groups he made promises to while running, like disbanding the SCG and stopping illegal land sales in synagogues.
Right then with that you would others tweeting things like he has absolutely no incentive to deliver on the demands of the Palestine movement if we don't relentlessly make those demands.
So for sure there is that side of the response.
But then also a lot of the discourse that you're seeing is people saying that these protesters, they're focusing their energy on the wrong right.
Some calling this specifically performative activism, saying we don't need that sort of you all said people like me.
Hassan, a journalist and podcaster who's been very outspoken about Palestine, weighing in and writing on you're protesting and blaming Czechs, notes Zoran Mamdani for the Gaza genocide, you may.
You just may need to check yourself into a mental health anyway others saying performative leftism is so pathetic and common sense and intellectuals are literally and you with all of that, then getting piled on to the conversation we often see happening about how the left sometimes gets in its own and then with all this money continuing to find himself in this, damned if you do, damned if you don't situation when it comes to speaking out on the because it does seem like literally anything that he says or does about this, it gets a loud negative reaction from.
Mean earlier that same day, you had Danny making a statement about October 7th that wasn't received well at all by the pro-Israel Or with that statement reading this day is profoundly painful for so many New saying it marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October adding on that day, Hamas killed more than 1100 Israelis and abducted 251.
Say we grieve alongside are many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable saying that suffering did not begin nor end that day.
It instead continued through the Israeli government's devastating ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, including more than 21,000 with him, then going on to call out the occupation and apartheid and finishing with to honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety and dignity.
And so you had some people get angry that he dedicated most of the statement of speaking up for Palestine, saying that he should have focused on just the October 7th so.
For example, you had the views, Alissa far and responding don't understand why the mayor couldn't simply give Jews one day to mourn the largest mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust.
He would Representative Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat, calling the statement egregious and insulting, telling Politico there are 364 days of the year to focus on This is a day that should just be focused on what was, by all agreement, a horrific terror. The mayor's statement did today was to blame Israelis for the attack that they suffered three years so you have a lot of discourse coming out of just that one statement.
And I will say this renewed backlash over comments perceived as anti-Semitic.
It comes after his recent announcement of a major new municipal strategy to combat anti-Semitism.
We are increasing hate crime prevention funding by $26 million, or more than 800% from last year.
This plan makes us $6.4 million investment in community based organizations preventing hate violence, more than doubling last year's funding.
But our responsibility goes beyond protection.
Jewish New Yorkers should feel cherished and celebrated in the most Jewish city in America.
That's why we are investing millions in Jewish cultural centers and non-profits, and again, this is someone who's repeatedly said and tried to prove that he is not anti-Semitic, just anti the Israeli administration.
With his new strategy and the statement and all of it, you can see Mamdani trying to make both sides happy and acknowledge everyone's then also in doing that, it seems like he's making people on both sides and for now we'll have to see where this goes.
And if the criticisms get louder or they calm down or if they have any sort of whether an away somehow on the ground or in future voting. Right.

But then to jump from that to something that's a little bit different. Let's test out a new little segment called Cringey Weirdo of the day.
Didn't feel quite like douchebag of the day territory with just how much everything is on fire and the the scale at which it But there was something I saw today that made me go.
I think they need to take away social media and or microphones away from people that work at a lot of these AI companies. Is in a now deleted tweet.
You have this guy that works for Factory AI saying. My wife, can you read our baby a Me I can just play an audiobook for my phone. My wife.
But then it won't be in your me I can train a voice Parenting hits different when you work in AI. Y'all call me David Seville.
The way I want to yell Alvin.
I am kind of glad that he tweeted this, because I think more people need to understand what weirdos are at these companies.
People that day in and day out give us more examples of them being just disconnected from the human experience.
And he's since deleted the tweet since most of the world was dunking on him and he's now trying to play it off as a But it is also important to remember.
That wasn't too long ago that OpenAI Sam Altman, he shared a similar or sharing what he called a cool use Connect your family calendars, tell it what your kids are into, and every morning on the drive to school, it generates a podcast. One kids soccer game that afternoon, another kids birthday. Coming up, a little news. A briefing on your children.
Read aloud before you drop them and so like I said to Sam then as I'm saying to Alvin now, how about you just talk and interact with your kids?
How about you have a basic human experience as a You don't need to add every aspect of your life, especially the most important the robot dogs, guns on their head May 1st day line us up and shoot us all down.
But for now. Alvin. Sam, any of these AI bros.
Maybe use the AI to help you with your schedule so you can interact with your read a create a memory that you can then later play over and over in your head.
When the robots use us as energy sources, like in The Matrix.
You really aren't doing anything effective to combat the these are lizard people accusations.
In an ideal world, the advancement of technology should allow us to have more of those real. Not replace you in them.
So you can what, raise shareholder is this sort of shit that has me extra concerned about AI maximalists.
Because if there is a lesson in these constant weird things that we see now day in, day out, it is that they are thinking of humanity last.
That's your concern, all of us, because we are living at a time where an increasingly few number of people are going to be the people that usher in whatever is all together, that should concern everyone.
Hey, that said, there's a lot more we got to dive into in just a minute. But first, a quick break with a sponsor.
-
Here's a weird thing about careers you can do everything right and still wake up one day thinking, wait, do do I even want to do this anymore?
Or because a job that you wanted five years ago might not be what you want and realizing that doesn't automatically tell you what comes which is one of the reasons I like the idea behind today's sponsor, Strawberry Me career.
Strawberry dot me matches you one on one with a vetted professional career coach to talk through where you are, what you actually want and what might be keeping you from getting.
And something that comes up again and again in their client reviews is perspective, or people talk about coaches asking questions that made him look at their careers differently and help them untangle what they were.
Because a good coach isn't there to make the decision for help you step back, see the situation more clearly, and figure out what you actually want.
So you can make the decision yourself and actually do something about so if you've been having the same career debate with yourself for months, maybe it's worth talking through it with a right.

Because you've got this new Wall Street Journal report that's highlighting her weird quid pro quo relationship with Trump donor and loyalist Eric leaders. Right. Some quick background. Kimberly Guilfoyle, she's a U.S. ambassador to Greece, confirmed to that position last year. And she's also the former fiancee of Donald Trump Jr. They reportedly started dating during Trump's first term.
And she quickly became one of the most outspoken defenders during herself into a bit of a Maga icon, which is also funny because before that, she was with Gavin Newsom. Right.
And she has taken several different swings at capitalizing on all of this new situation, launching a haircare line, fragrance products and alcohol brand in the Med spa before then turning back to politics by launching a consulting firm and looking for work in PR.
But then, you know, she and Don Junior's engagement was called off back in 2024, though she then was still nominated for the position of ambassador degrees and set to be confirmed in July of 2025.
We are going to get back to that. But then we have Eric Dieter's right.
And this guy, he's a diehard Trump, and he's a radio talk show host to his unsuccessfully run for Congress and governor. And he used to be a lawyer.
And also I say used to be very intentionally there because he was suspended by the Kentucky Bar Association twice, or with the state Supreme Court ruling not to reinstate him back in 2021, because, as the chief justice put Dieter's practice of law is not governed by constitution, rule of law or procedure.
Saying it is anarchy.
Also in 2020, he was banned from entering a courthouse in Ohio after threatening to burn it down on social media.
And the suspensions from the Kentucky Bar Association cited aggressive litigation strategies, false statements and court proceedings, and filing frivolous claims.
In response to all that he reportedly called the members of the association, quote jokes of human excrement.
And so he says he retired as a lawyer, telling the Journal, these rules that are written by big law to hurt people like me, screw them. I am a legal outlaw.
So a match made in hell with these two. And their connection.
It started back in 2020 when dealers launched an event called Freedom Fest in Kentucky in response to Covid 19 medical mandates.
And he reportedly paid Guilfoyle $300,000 to speak there, along with several hundred thousand dollars.
Don Jr and Eric and then actually, that's on top of that $125,000 to one of Trump's political action committees in 2022.
And then you had a reconnecting with Guilfoyle in 2024, trying to get her to help on a couple of serious matters in his own or with the big one being that he wanted the Justice Department to seek the extradition of an Ohio doctor who ran off to Pakistan after being charged with defrauding insurers by performing unnecessary spinal surgeries, including on children. Dealers.
He's advising lawyers representing hundreds of former patients who were suing a doctor for medical malpractice, negligence and fraud. And so.
He was hoping that Guilfoyle could push the right people in the Justice Department to get the doctor extradited from Pakistan, as well as open an investigation of the doctor's medical malpractice insurer.
Who's butting heads with Dieter's.
With them refusing payment and accusing him of abusive litigation, blackmail attempts and threats of violence and murder, and eaters.
He reportedly told Guilfoyle that he would pay her a million bucks if she could get him on Tucker Carlson's podcast, so they could bring national attention to the case, her, then reportedly agreeing, even making a few agrees with Carlson's team, though that didn't end up going anywhere. Right?
Anyway, Carlson telling the Journal that he never even heard of Dieter's, and he doesn't keep up with Guilfoyle saying $1 million for her podcast appearance. Isn't she the ambassador to Greece?
This is completely nuts.
And yeah, who would have thought we'd come to a point where I, readily agree with Tucker Carlson, of all people, on something.
But anyway, Dieter's also reportedly asked Guilfoyle to get the lyrics of a song he wrote with a local guitarist who. Kid Rock.
He also asked her to set up a meeting with the incoming IRS commissioner, Bailey Long, to discuss a probe into Adidas tax deductions.
Very specifically, the IRS was looking into a deduction that Peters claimed in 2020 related to the sale of his interest in the family business, which he said was politically motivated.
Right in their conversations, they became more frequent after Guilfoyle was nominated for the ambassador position, there with her reportedly promising to lobby top Trump officials like FBI Director Kash Patel and former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Except keeping she very much did not want her arrangements with Peters to make it to the public. You had her telling him repeatedly, do not put any of their deals in writing.
And you had one alleged text from her reading. Eric, I really wish you would stop papering all these things. It's really dangerous and not helpful to you or me. While you could just call me on Signal.
You know, the text a definitely innocent person sends to another innocent person.
But then also in January 2025, you have her saying that she reprimanded him again about talking to a producer on her podcast about their deals, providing another text reading.
It's unbelievable when you have a private arrangement with you that you would now see a producer talking about money. What a nightmare. You literally cost me my ambassadorship.
Stop writing.
Key thing her concern with him writing things down that did not stop her from asking for favors.
And, in the weeks leading up to her confirmation, she started asking leaders for additional payments. Or with either saying that.
She asked him to draft a letter saying that he owed her two $50,000 back payments for consulting services, and telling the Journal was worried about legality, and she was worried about the appearances of and so he did.
In June 2025, he wrote that his consulting company over $50,000 before your new position and wanted to engage or until her confirmation.
Except he started getting itchy for his own favors, right?
That same month, he reportedly sent her a photo of a printed memo saying, I paid you $300,000. Over the years. As of this memo, I have not received one favor.
I am not naive or a sucker. I need results. And so.
Then once again, Guilfoyle reportedly chewed him out for putting things into writing, though she also managed to get a response back from Long regarding Dieter's as IRS situation.
It's maybe that's why she felt comfortable coming to him with another request just days before her confirmation.
But apparently she had a $100,000 American Express bill that she needed handled, and she needed it done in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail. And according to the messages that Peters provided, she was desperate writing.
Honey, please, I need you to get this done for me today, saying it won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express, please. Except Peters. He didn't end up making that payment.
Saying you're needing $100,000.
Urgent, unfortunately, is not going to Saying I can't do this without getting a divorce.
But then, for all her concern, apparently, about writing things down, her alleged response all but laid out their quid pro quo arrangement, saying, I've been calling you for over a week straight.
You could be here meeting with Billy Long. Ribbit.
Then, regardless of whatever happened with this Amex, Bill Guilfoyle was confirmed as the ambassador to Greece.
So now, you have a situation where, you know, given the fact that Dieter's is coming forward with this, it's raising some eyebrows, especially after the Wall Street Journal just published an investigation into Guilfoyle promotion of a Greek company whose lobbyist traveled with her to meetings with governments across the Balkans.
Which you had cited by Democrats in the Senate and House Foreign Affairs committees, who push the DOJ to investigator.
Then as far as Guilfoyle as response, it was ultimately kind of nuh. Or with their attorney saying that she disputes the authenticity of the messages that data is provided. But she also didn't go into specifics.
Just saying that she had been paid to speak at events before her nomination and, quote, was owed a balance for traveling to and supporting these patriotic events. Right.
And actually, to get Kimberly's back for a second, I ask you, is this the face of someone who would, like, commit crimes?
Your honor, I ask you actually really just real question for a second. What are they doing to people's faces at Mar-A-Lago?
Because a lot of the people that were subjected to a lot of the pictures that you see, it looks like a number of people just went to a plastic surgeons office and they were like, yeah, I don't know, fuck my shit give me some combination of it.
Looking like I had an allergic reaction. Slash I'm a sex doll. Slash. Maybe. Demon creature. But anyway, we're getting sidetracked. Your honor, my client, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is innocent.
Don't let the evidence. And your lying eyes and ears confuse you.
-
But then also, that's not where the sketchy money stuff stops for Team Trump or what we got to talk about. Because you've got the Trump administration now being sued for using taxpayer dollars to pay for ads promoting if they sounds familiar, it's because we actually talked about this a few weeks because instead of Trump addressing the affordability crisis, dear Leader, he was actually taking your hard earned money to fund ads promoting himself.
With you at my side. We will demolish the deep state.
We will expel the war mongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, Marxist and fascist.
We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country.
And since we talked about that, two top senators have said that the commercials were paid for through a $20 million contract with the Department of Homeland Security that draws from funding allocated under Trump's so-called Big Beautiful.
The New York Times reporting that Trump himself personally instructed his budget director to use our taxpayer dollars for ads praising him and his ads that have received massive backlash not just from Democrats, but even Republicans, who argue that it violates a decades old ban on using federal funds for publicity or propaganda.
And that also explicitly including any ads that are purely partizan or designed to aid a political party or you had the White House defending the ads, claiming that there are just say that are clearly not political because Trump, he's not on the ballot and they don't contain a specific call to right arguing.
Or I think the better term he would be bullshitting that as a result, they don't actually violate the propaganda and in addition to, of course, you being able to see through that, you had experts hitting back at that reporting out that these particular spots are different from other administrations saw because they aren't designed to help Americans access any specific programs.
And it actually appears like there's widespread public backlash.
You had a Reuters Ipsos poll finding that 86% of Americans thought that it was inappropriate to use taxpayer funds for ads featuring the president around an and the key thing is that included 80% of registered Republicans.
Well, I don't think it's going to change the voting patterns of his most loyal supporters who even thought that this was too far.
It did actually seem like all the backlash was getting to Trump, because on Monday, he announced that he was social, that he would pay for the ads himself through his super PAC, MAGA. You still then had him defending the ads, claiming that they are a rather standard thing to do in a positive promotion for our great USA that he's paying for with USA money.
But then the next day, White House officials said that the PAC wouldn't actually be reimbursing the government for the money it had already spent on commercials, confirming that Trump's promise would only apply moving.
And that's very significant, because that commercial has already cost you $12 million to run according to Ad. It's already been reported that Trump's already created at least 13 spots using our taxpayer dollars and seemingly most of them haven't even been aired yet.
Or with this, including one called God Made Trump, another recapping the UFC fight that he hosted at the White House, and multiple that seemingly brag about his various accomplishments as president or what he calls accomplishments.
And then seemingly just a dig the knife in a little deeper.
Literally the same day the White House said that it wouldn't be paying the government back for the millions had already Trump released a new commercial touting his military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
This was one of the most stunning, effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.
I think people need to understand that this is not a president that just talks and does letters and press conferences. And, you know, he says he's serious about something. He means it.
And then with that, you would send it Democratic leader Chuck Schumer doing his favorite thing using slamming Trump, arguing that his plan to pay for future ads was still illegal because federal law bans candidates and office holders from directing the spending of superPACs.
So with that, you had Schumer calling for an investigation into Trump's actions and Trump must return this money to the American people.
And there must be a full investigation into this gross waste and abuse of taxpayer with that, then bring us to the most recent updates, which are that you now have both the DNC and the nonpartisan watchdog Common Cause filing separate lawsuits against Trump for these and in addition to the DNC arguing in their suit that the sponsor a clear violation of the congressional, you also had them saying that Trump has nationalized the midterm election, made himself the center of a two day midterm convention, and repeatedly directed voters to pretend that I am on the also noting that the ads were rolled out as Republicans have been plummeting in the.
With that then also echoed in the suit from Common Cause, which noted that the ads focus on issues and positions that Trump and Republican candidates have repeatedly pushed in the adding, so despite the White House's insistence to the contrary, common sense demands what any viewer understands.
These ads are not public service announcements.
They are personal publicity and political propaganda through and and alleging that Trump also acted illegally by using money that Congress specifically appropriated for border security.
While the group's senior vice president of policy and litigation told reporters that his organization doesn't actually trust that Trump's going to use outside money for future. Right.
And pointing to the fact that the Maduro spot was released on Tuesday after Trump said that his PAC would pay for the ads, and arguing that it's proof that the government sponsored commercials were still being. And with that, you have both suits asking federal judges to step in and stop the use of federal funds to pay for these. Actually, Common Cause also asked the judge to block the administration from airing any more taxpayer funded ads and require them to try to recover the money that hasn't been spent, though, I will say as far as from what we can tell, neither of these lawsuits, but actually forced Trump to reimburse the government for the money he's already. And for now, my feeling is kind of just throw this onto the Trump.
In saying things outside of the norm that will hopefully be addressed sometime in the. Because it sure as hell isn't happening with the setup that's there. Of course, part of that change.
It starts well for some of you now, but definitely by November. Friendly reminder.
You're going to get fucking tired of me doing Here are the dates for early voting when it starts for your feel free to take a screenshot. But yeah, get out there and vote early however you can, day of, whatever.
Make a plan. Go to vote. Because none of this.
Knowing about all the dumpster fires and getting angry about all the dumpster fires matters if you do not take. Disregard the polls, and vote up and down your right.
Then from that, there's three more things we got to dive into before I let you go. But first, a quick sponsor. I'm a cage where I could make plans at 10 p.m. And the only question was like, where are we going?
-
And now I need to know, like, what tomorrow is going to look. Because between kids, work and everything else, future me has responsibilities.
And apparently I'm supposed to care about that guy, right? Which is why one of the things I plan for before a night out is today's sponsor ZBiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink, the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.
Was engineered by PhD microbiologist to break down an unwanted byproduct of alcohol metabolism.
And so just remember to make your first drink of the night, drink responsibly and enjoy your next day. Definitely say it was a lifesaver while I was on the Crashing Out. Right. The next day.
It always was like catching a flight, getting to another city, prepping for a show, or coming home and immediately going right back into dad. Yeah, I still want to go out.
I still want to have fun, but I'm just significantly more interested in not letting tonight hijack. And they're out there doing the work.
They've sold more than 14 million bottles and earned the trust of thousands, including—hey, give ZBiotic a try.

And then diving right back into the news for your final block today, there's some more news you need to know and some things you might have. Because first up, you now have the police getting involved in that FGTeeV situation that we talked about yesterday, right after we had a lot of people getting scared that he was going to harm his because of course you have all of this coming.
After a recent video where he said he didn't trust his wife and kids, he called them demons.
Also, he was talking about clones, witches and a bunch of other wild and he actually made a separate video addressing the comments that he was getting there. But it also seems like it only made people more concerned.
That's because at first it sounded like he was going to pull back on everything he said in the first anything that you heard me say yesterday. Come on.
You know that. That's not a way that I think of my family. I love my children and my wife. With all my life. There is no strife.
I feel all right because of Jesus Christ. But then things took a. But one thing's for sure. A lot of y'all.
What you think is mental health problems is actually demonic. Don't care who doesn't believe.
I've never been better in my entire life. That's Jesus Christ for you. And if you know your word, you get through any storm.
It's with that. Apparently people were so worried that they actually started calling the police. The cops were outside. They talked to me.
They came to check on me. Thank you guys for calling. Because of everything that happened. But I am good. And it went well.
We prayed together. You then had his wife following up with a post about it as we're all okay. My kids are okay. I'm okay. My husband's okay.
Even my dogs are okay.
I have been getting calls from the local police department. You don't need to keep calling the police department anymore. They spoke to my husband.
Everything is even with that, a lot of people still genuinely concerned.
And then you of course had others continuing to say that this could be religious psychosis, drugs or at least for now, you have the family publicly saying things are under control.
Though there's really not much anyone else can. Also, in very different news, there is reportedly a potential serial killer in Lansing, Michigan, and they've already killed five people.
-
So this all apparently starting about a year ago when police found Geno Shinar with injuries to his. While he was taken to the hospital, he died almost two weeks. And then between July and September this year.
The murder just kept Dennis doomed back.
Robert Smith, Daniel Lusk, Lewis—they were all attacked and eventually died from their injuries, and all of those cases happened within the same mile long stretch of a river trail in.
Apparently all these victims were homeless, which made them particularly vulnerable to violence.
Of the police saying they believed that all of them were lying down or asleep when they were. And then one of the key things is that all but one who was stabbed to death died from injuries to were around their heads.
Like the first see then at people with this saying, what it looks like is if they are connected then there could potentially be a single offender. With now, with that, I'll say they've actually already charged someone in the stabbing case.
But the police chief said whether or not that guy is responsible for all of this, that's challenging to say, right? And adding that they're trying to approach this in the right manner so they don't unjustly pin the guy with other crimes just because he's their main suspect. Right, it's all things they're up in the air right now.
You have experts hopeful that with all these murders happening in such a close proximity, the patterns will be easier to see, helping them close these cases as soon as. And then your final bit of news today is you've got rumors building of a pending Russian attack on NATO.
-
France.
They just tested a sea based nuclear missile to deliver a loud and clear message to Russia.
Well, watching the launch with Emmanuel Macron saying to be free, one must be feared and to be feared, one must be powerful. He called it a message or quote, wherever it must be received.
As well, France's defense ministry did not name Russia. Come on.
Britain, as far as Russia, they immediately got on the phone with reporters to complain.
