00:00President Trump is escalating his long-running war with The New York Times as reporters for the
00:04paper are set to testify before a federal grand jury on Wednesday. These reporters were subpoenaed
00:09after publishing a story about the security capabilities of the new Air Force One,
00:13including reports that the president switched back to the older aircraft after his trip to
00:17Turkey, something we here at The Post previously asked the president about directly. The Times has
00:22condemned the subpoenas, calling them an attack on press freedom. From his golf club in Virginia,
00:27Trump fired back, blasting what he called the failing New York Times.
00:31He also took personal aim at reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, who have a new book
00:36about his administration. The president called Haberman maggot and describing Swan as her
00:41lightweight assistant. Trump accused the paper of spending its time writing negative stories about
00:45him, saying the media has no credibility and claiming it would have been impossible for him
00:50to win re-election if their reporting were believed. Stephen J. Adler, chairman of the
00:55Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, blasted the subpoenas in a statement, saying it
00:59crushed the public's right to know about its government. But the Times wasn't the only group
01:04on the receiving end of the president's furious and lengthy Truth Social post. He took fresh swipes
01:09at Democrats, calling them the Democrat Party, accusing them of moving toward communism. He also
01:14tore into multiple TV news outlets using one of his favorite media insults, calling them fake news.
01:21The conflict between the United States and Iran has escalated dramatically once again. President
01:26Trump explained some of the latest back and forth on Meet the Press Sunday.
01:30We bombed the hell out of them last night. They're very, very evil and sick people. We had meetings
01:37with them for the last, they agreed to a deal yesterday, a perfect deal for us. No nuclear, no this,
01:43no that, no nothing. They gave up everything. And then after that, they left the room. And then
01:49within an hour, they launched a drone and a ship. I said, you people are sick. You're sick people.
01:57For more on where this conflict stands, whether diplomacy is still possible,
02:01and what comes next, let's bring in the New York Post deputy managing editor, Michael Zenni.
02:05So the diplomacy is absolutely still going on. There was a meeting on Saturday in Oman between
02:14the US side and the Iran side. But the real question is whether there's actually anything
02:22happening with it. President Trump did some interviews today in place of the ones that Lindsey
02:30Graham actually was scheduled to do on the Sunday morning shows. And what he revealed is basically
02:39growing frustration. He said that the Iranians will say that they're willing to agree to all kinds of
02:48things, and then the next day attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz. So I think the big question now
02:57is whether the US and Iran actually can trust each other and more to the point whether the Trump
03:06administration can trust anything that Iran is saying, because it really does seem like President Trump
03:13is losing patience. The other thing that we've seen is obviously President Trump has, you know, in the past
03:22issued a lot of threats, issued a lot of bluster. And it is also at times hard to separate what
03:29is
03:29actually threats from what he threats as a tool for negotiation, public negotiation versus what he
03:38actually does believe. But right now, it seems like there's not a ton of progress happening.
03:43We're learning new details about the murder of an American mother in Ireland, including a possible
03:48financial dispute with the man police now believe killed her. Investigators say 43-year-old Jamie
03:54Carney's boyfriend, 28-year-old Ahmad Ahsaker, allegedly asked her for the equivalent of about
04:005,700 US dollars just a week before her death. Carney reportedly told a friend about the request. Not long
04:06after, she was found dead inside her home. Irish authorities believe Carney was beaten and then suffocated
04:11in her bed. Her boyfriend, a Jordanian asylum seeker, is now wanted for questioning. And that may prove
04:17difficult for police, since they think he fled Ireland through Turkey just hours after the killing.
04:22Investigators are now examining Carney's phone records, text messages, social media accounts,
04:26and bank records as they try to piece together what happened to this poor woman.
04:30The couple had been together for about a year and a half after meeting at a pro-Palestinian rally in
04:35Ireland. According to a former roommate of Al-Sakur, the suspect claimed the two had participated in an
04:40Islamic marriage ceremony earlier this year, and he'd even posted a video of Carney wearing a ring with
04:44the caption, my bride and my princess. Carney's mother and sister have now arrived in Ireland
04:49to care for her 13-year-old daughter, as the international manhunt for this suspect continues.
