Speaker 1: pop culture, and so much more. Here is the premiere

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: episode of the New York Postcast. He Shot the Dog,

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: The latest on alleged Minnesota assassin Vance Belter, plus Get

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: Out of Tehran. President Trump warns Iranian citizens to leave

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: the capital, and a mobile service worth its weight in

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: gold from Eric and Don Junior. Yeah, I'll explain that one,

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: those stories and more Today Tuesday, June seventeenth. I'm Kaitlin Becker,

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: and this is the very first New York Postcast. We

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: start in Minnesota. Now, you're not going to believe the

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: trail of evidence that investigators say suspected politicalstasas and Vance

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Belter left behind in the hours after the senseless slaughter

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: of one state lawmaker and her husband and a separate

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: attack on another. Belter allegedly fired off some texts to

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: his family. Now a particularly damning. One reads quote, Dad

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: went to war last night. Now, Belter made his first

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: appearance in federal court Monday, where we learned officials allegedly

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: uncovered a cache of weapons inside of his abandoned suv,

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: including an AK forty seven style rifle that was just

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: tossed on the passenger seat. And now this last bit

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: is going to make your blood boil. Investigators say he

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: murdered a dog when vance Belter allegedly opened fire at

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: State Rep. Melissa Hortman's home. The barrage of bullets also

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: struck a beloved Golden retriever, a rescue named Gilbert. Now

30
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: Belter faces six federal charges, and the death penalty is

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: on the table. Onto the latest in immigration, President Trump

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: plans to flood Democrat run cities like Los Angeles and

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Chicago with even more ICE agents. The president posting online

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: this week his reasoning, saying blue cities are quote the

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: core of the Democrat power center, where they use illegal

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: aliens to expand their voter base, cheat in elections, and

37
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: grow the welfare state. Now all of this is happening

38
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: as Axios is reporting that ICE could run out of

39
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: funding as soon as next month. After going over their

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: budget by a billion dollars. And now on to a

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: meaty story. After being forced out of the Coney Island

42
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: hot Dog Eating Contest last year, joe At Chestnut, the

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: sixteen time champ, will be back on the boardwalk July fourth,

44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: ready to take back his crown. And yes, it's crazy,

45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: we are that close to July fourth. Now, Chestnut was

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: banned from last year's contest because of a sponsorship deal

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: that he struck with Impossible Foods, the maker of meatless

48
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: hot dogs. Meatless hot dogs, Joey Chestnut kind of a

49
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: nod choice considering anyway, the fracture relationship has healed, and

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: Chestnut will need to down eighty four hot dogs and

51
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: buns in ten minutes. That's in order to break his

52
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: own world record. Fun fact, days after the contest, people

53
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: apparently tell Joey Chestnut that he still smells like hot dogs,

54
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: and Joey says his sweat is literally grease. Yeahh that's

55
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: so gross, but good luck, my friend. And now to

56
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: our big story. Iran, President Trump offered an ominous warning

57
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Monday night quote everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.

58
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: Now.

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: It came not long after the President said that the

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Islamic Republic is asking for peace as Israel makes advances

61
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: in their campaign to end Iran's nuclear program. Here's the

62
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: president on the sidelines of the summit.

63
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before.

64
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: I had sixty days and they have sixty days. And

65
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: on the sixty first day, I said, we don't have

66
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: a deal. They have to make a deal. He's painful

67
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: for both parties, but I'd say Iran is not winning

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: this war and they should talk, and they should talk

69
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: immediately before it's too late.

70
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: Now, if you're Israel, how do you end the threat

71
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: once and for all? Well, Prime Minister Benjamin Natanaho wants

72
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: to cut off the head of the snake. He's doubling

73
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: down on his suggestion that assassinating Iran Supreme Leader Ayatola

74
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: Ali Kameni is one way to bring an end to

75
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: the bloodshed. Israel has so far wiped out a third

76
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: of Iran's total ballistic missile launchers, but the real prize is,

77
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: of course, ending the country's nuclear program, and in doing that,

78
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: Israel face is a significant hurdle. The Fodoh fuel enrichment plant.

79
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: You probably haven't heard of that before. But it's a

80
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: nuclear plant hidden deep inside a mountain one hundred miles

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: south of Tehran. It's unclear whether or not Israel has

82
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: the weapons needed to blow it up, but the United

83
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: States does. For more on this, I am joined by

84
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: The Post's deputy managing editor, Michael Zenni. Michael, tell me

85
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: a bit more about these dueling requests. We have Israel

86
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: asking the US to help them blow things up and

87
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Iran asking for the US to help broker peace. So

88
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: where is President Trump on all of this and is

89
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: there a high likelihood of the US joining this fight?

90
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: President Trump is exactly where he wants to be, which

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: is basically at the middle of this, right. So he

92
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: has said today that he's open to the idea of

93
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: a deal, but said Iran has already had sixty days

94
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: to agree to a nuclear deal and they need to

95
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: go ahead and just make an agreement. And so it

96
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: seems like he is not ready to come in and

97
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: potentially attack Iran, but he's also not very sympathetic to

98
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: their requests to urgently negotiate.

99
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: Now, President Trump is at the G seven summit, So

100
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: are we getting a sense of where the rest of

101
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: the world is, what are other leaders saying about all

102
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: of this.

103
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, As often is the case, Trump is sort of

104
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: standing apart. So you've got reports that there is a

105
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: communicat that was circulating that the host, Canada, and the

106
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: European leaders all were hoping to sign on to that

107
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: is calling for an end to the attacks and basically

108
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: to de escalate the situation. And the reporting we're seeing

109
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: is that the US is not going to sign on

110
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: to that.

111
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: Okay, switching topics slightly here, can you tell us more

112
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: about this Foordo nuclear site? Why is it so important

113
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: to eliminate and why is it so hard to do?

114
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? So, it's very hard to do, in part because

115
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: Iran has built it that way. This is one of

116
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: the most, if not the most fortified nuclear sites in

117
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: the entire world. It is built into a mountain. The

118
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: actual most important parts of the facility are up to

119
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: three hundred feet underground and they are completely as we

120
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: can tell so far, unreachable by Israel's munitions. And they've

121
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: been very successful in taking out Iran's nuclear scientists other

122
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: nuclear sites, but it seems that Fourdeaux is untouchable by

123
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: Israel so far, and that's why they're asking for they're

124
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: asking for the US to essentially come in and use

125
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: our massive thirty ton bunker buster bombs to blow this up,

126
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: and which would potentially end Iran's nuclear ambitions as we

127
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: know them, once and for all.

128
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: So much to unpack here, and it's such a nuanced story.

129
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for breaking that down for us,

130
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Michael Zenny, excellent, Thank you so much. And now from

131
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: our friends at page six, Justin Bieber is going through it.

132
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: The pop star admitted to having quote anger issues and

133
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: being broken after getting into a Sean Penn level screaming

134
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: match with paparazzi last week. This is the latest industring

135
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: of really concerning social media posts that have believers worried

136
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: about his mental state, his marriage, and even his physical health. Now.

137
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: Bieber was forced to deny allegations of drug use earlier

138
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: this year's and recently he traded really cryptic posts with

139
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: wife Haley that seemed to indicate trouble in paradise. But

140
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: if you ask his reps, they're gone with the old

141
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: nothing to see here approach. And if that wasn't enough,

142
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: the singer reportedly owes more than eight million dollars that

143
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: apparently he does not have to his former manager, Scooter Braun,

144
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: and finally, today make cell phones great again, or at

145
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: the very least, gold first sons Eric and Don Junior

146
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: have announced the launch of Trump Mobile. The company says

147
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: it's quote the only mobile service aligned with your values

148
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: and built on reliability, freedom, and American pride. This is

149
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: definitely what the founding fathers had in mind here now.

150
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: The service, which includes unlimited talk, text, and data, as

151
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: well as roadside assistance and telehealth services, will set you

152
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: back forty seven dollars and forty five cents per month.

153
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I see what they did there. Because he's the forty

154
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: fifth and forty seventh president, I'm getting it. If all

155
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: that's not enough, the company will also start selling fancy

156
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: schmancy Golden American Maid that's very specific android phones for

157
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,040
