  Speaker 1: Out of Tehran. President Trump warns Iranian citizens to leave

• 0:44
  Speaker 1: those stories and more Today Tuesday, June seventeenth. I'm Kaitlin Becker,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and this is the very first New York Postcast. We
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: start in Minnesota. Now, you're not going to believe the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: trail of evidence that investigators say suspected politicalstasas and Vance
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Belter left behind in the hours after the senseless slaughter
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of one state lawmaker and her husband and a separate
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: attack on another. Belter allegedly fired off some texts to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: his family. Now a particularly damning. One reads quote, Dad
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: went to war last night. Now, Belter made his first
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: appearance in federal court Monday, where we learned officials allegedly
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: uncovered a cache of weapons inside of his abandoned suv,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: including an AK forty seven style rifle that was just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: tossed on the passenger seat. And now this last bit
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is going to make your blood boil. Investigators say he
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: murdered a dog when vance Belter allegedly opened fire at
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: State Rep. Melissa Hortman's home. The barrage of bullets also
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: struck a beloved Golden retriever, a rescue named Gilbert. Now
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Belter faces six federal charges, and the death penalty is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: on the table. Onto the latest in immigration, President Trump
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: plans to flood Democrat run cities like Los Angeles and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Chicago with even more ICE agents. The president posting online
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this week his reasoning, saying blue cities are quote the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: core of the Democrat power center, where they use illegal
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: aliens to expand their voter base, cheat in elections, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: grow the welfare state. Now all of this is happening
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: as Axios is reporting that ICE could run out of
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: funding as soon as next month. After going over their
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: budget by a billion dollars. And now on to a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: meaty story. After being forced out of the Coney Island
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: hot Dog Eating Contest last year, joe At Chestnut, the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: sixteen time champ, will be back on the boardwalk July fourth,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: ready to take back his crown. And yes, it's crazy,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we are that close to July fourth. Now, Chestnut was
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: banned from last year's contest because of a sponsorship deal
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that he struck with Impossible Foods, the maker of meatless
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: hot dogs. Meatless hot dogs, Joey Chestnut kind of a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: nod choice considering anyway, the fracture relationship has healed, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Chestnut will need to down eighty four hot dogs and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: buns in ten minutes. That's in order to break his
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: own world record. Fun fact, days after the contest, people
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: apparently tell Joey Chestnut that he still smells like hot dogs,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and Joey says his sweat is literally grease. Yeahh that's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so gross, but good luck, my friend. And now to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: our big story. Iran, President Trump offered an ominous warning
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Monday night quote everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It came not long after the President said that the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Islamic Republic is asking for peace as Israel makes advances
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: in their campaign to end Iran's nuclear program. Here's the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: president on the sidelines of the summit.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I had sixty days and they have sixty days. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: on the sixty first day, I said, we don't have
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: a deal. They have to make a deal. He's painful
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: for both parties, but I'd say Iran is not winning
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: this war and they should talk, and they should talk
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: immediately before it's too late.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Now, if you're Israel, how do you end the threat
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: once and for all? Well, Prime Minister Benjamin Natanaho wants
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to cut off the head of the snake. He's doubling
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: down on his suggestion that assassinating Iran Supreme Leader Ayatola
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Ali Kameni is one way to bring an end to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the bloodshed. Israel has so far wiped out a third
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of Iran's total ballistic missile launchers, but the real prize is,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of course, ending the country's nuclear program, and in doing that,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Israel face is a significant hurdle. The Fodoh fuel enrichment plant.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You probably haven't heard of that before. But it's a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: nuclear plant hidden deep inside a mountain one hundred miles
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: south of Tehran. It's unclear whether or not Israel has
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the weapons needed to blow it up, but the United
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: States does. For more on this, I am joined by
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The Post's deputy managing editor, Michael Zenni. Michael, tell me
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a bit more about these dueling requests. We have Israel
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: asking the US to help them blow things up and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Iran asking for the US to help broker peace. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: where is President Trump on all of this and is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: there a high likelihood of the US joining this fight?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: President Trump is exactly where he wants to be, which
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: is basically at the middle of this, right. So he
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: has said today that he's open to the idea of
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a deal, but said Iran has already had sixty days
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to agree to a nuclear deal and they need to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: go ahead and just make an agreement. And so it
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: seems like he is not ready to come in and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: potentially attack Iran, but he's also not very sympathetic to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: their requests to urgently negotiate.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Now, President Trump is at the G seven summit, So
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: are we getting a sense of where the rest of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the world is, what are other leaders saying about all
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, As often is the case, Trump is sort of
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: standing apart. So you've got reports that there is a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: communicat that was circulating that the host, Canada, and the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: European leaders all were hoping to sign on to that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: is calling for an end to the attacks and basically
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to de escalate the situation. And the reporting we're seeing
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is that the US is not going to sign on
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, switching topics slightly here, can you tell us more
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: about this Foordo nuclear site? Why is it so important
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to eliminate and why is it so hard to do?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So, it's very hard to do, in part because
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Iran has built it that way. This is one of
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the most, if not the most fortified nuclear sites in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the entire world. It is built into a mountain. The
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: actual most important parts of the facility are up to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: three hundred feet underground and they are completely as we
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: can tell so far, unreachable by Israel's munitions. And they've
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: been very successful in taking out Iran's nuclear scientists other
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: nuclear sites, but it seems that Fourdeaux is untouchable by
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Israel so far, and that's why they're asking for they're
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: asking for the US to essentially come in and use
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: our massive thirty ton bunker buster bombs to blow this up,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and which would potentially end Iran's nuclear ambitions as we
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: know them, once and for all.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So much to unpack here, and it's such a nuanced story.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for breaking that down for us,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Michael Zenny, excellent, Thank you so much. And now from
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: our friends at page six, Justin Bieber is going through it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: The pop star admitted to having quote anger issues and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: being broken after getting into a Sean Penn level screaming
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: match with paparazzi last week. This is the latest industring
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of really concerning social media posts that have believers worried
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: about his mental state, his marriage, and even his physical health. Now.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Bieber was forced to deny allegations of drug use earlier
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: this year's and recently he traded really cryptic posts with
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: wife Haley that seemed to indicate trouble in paradise. But
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: if you ask his reps, they're gone with the old
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: nothing to see here approach. And if that wasn't enough,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the singer reportedly owes more than eight million dollars that
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: apparently he does not have to his former manager, Scooter Braun,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and finally, today make cell phones great again, or at
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the very least, gold first sons Eric and Don Junior
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: have announced the launch of Trump Mobile. The company says
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's quote the only mobile service aligned with your values
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and built on reliability, freedom, and American pride. This is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: definitely what the founding fathers had in mind here now.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: The service, which includes unlimited talk, text, and data, as
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: well as roadside assistance and telehealth services, will set you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: back forty seven dollars and forty five cents per month.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I see what they did there. Because he's the forty
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: fifth and forty seventh president, I'm getting it. If all
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that's not enough, the company will also start selling fancy
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: schmancy Golden American Maid that's very specific android phones for
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety nine bucks. It literally looks like
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: a gold bar. You absolutely have to check it out.
