Philadelphia Protestors Cheer U.S. Military Deaths, Savannah Guthrie Offers Shocking New Details About Her Mom’s Disappearance

Anti-American protesters cheer the death of U.S. service members in the Iran War.

You will not believe where this protest took place. Plus new details in the search for Nancy

Guthrie revealed by her daughter Savannah in her first interview. I'll tell you what the

today show host shared about the investigation. Those stories and more today, Friday March 27th,

I'm Caitlin Becker and this is The New York Postcast.

President Trump spoke to the press for more than 90 minutes at the start of his cabinet

meeting on Thursday. He addressed many issues, like Venezuela and President Nicholas

Maduro's Court appearance in New York. Trump said he expects more charges to be filed against

the ousted dictator. To the nation's Capitol, where the president said that he hopes to keep

the National Guard deployed because he says, quote, they're so nice, they help.

On the topic of the government shutdown, he threatened to use, quote, very drastic measures.

If Democrats refuse to budge on funding DHS and he railed against Fed Chair Jerome Powell,

as well as critics of his big beautiful ballroom going up in the White House.

But as you'd expect, Iran took center stage. President Trump bashed the UK for not helping

more in the conflict. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said Americans are willing to trade short-term

volatility for, in his words, 50 years of safety. When the president was asked about the,

are they or aren't they negotiations with Iran? He said this.

They said yesterday that we weren't negotiating with them and now they admit that we weren't

negotiating with them. So they want to make a deal. The reason they want to make a deal is they

have been just beat to shit. Later in the day, some indication that things do seem to be progressing.

The president took to social media to announce he was extending the deadline for Iran to reopen

the Shred of Hormuz to April 6th. And he noted that it was, quote, per Iranian government request

and added that talks between the two countries are ongoing.

The second part of Savannah got three's tearful interview errors today. But part one was quite revealing,

offering fresh details about what she, her brother and her sister, found when they went to her mom's

house looking for her. And we thought that she must have had, like, some kind of medical episode

in the night and that somehow, you know, the paramedics had come because the back doors were

propped open, you know, and that didn't make any sense. We thought maybe they came and there's

a stretcher and they took her out the back. But her phone was there and her purse was there and all her

things. And it just didn't make any sense. For more on what Savannah revealed in the interview as well

as what she had to say about the ongoing investigation, here's the post deputy managing editor Michael's

so she really leaned into her anguish, right? As a daughter whose mother was taking from her and

who has no idea what's happened, you know, she's been very heartfelt and very sincere. These are all

things that regular viewers that the today show and the Olympics sort of have come to understand

about who she is on air and she very much is continuing much deeper, like you could really tell

how she's struggling with this. But but the other side of this is that she also revealed a couple

of small details, the fact that the back door was propped open at her mother's house, the fact that

there were her mother's keys and purse were still in the house. And these were things that had been

reported previously, but but she really confirmed them. The other thing that was notable here is what

she didn't do, which was criticize the local investigators and especially Sheriff Nannos,

the Pima County Sheriff, who really has come in front on of criticism, including a recall

effort that he's under and a vote of no confidence from his own deputies. She really leaned into the fact

that, you know, how grateful she is for the investigators, how grateful she is for the technology

companies like Google that have been involved in uncovering evidence and really left it at that.

She also was, you know, very upset with a lot of the speculation of the online rumor-mongering

such as claims that to her brother-in-law, her sister's husband might have somehow been involved.

Of course, investigators ruled that out several weeks ago, but but she also expressed a lot of

frustration about that. And she used her platform once again to ask anyone who might know anything

to come forward. City of Brotherly Love, not this week. A conservative activist in Philadelphia

named Frankie Scales managed to capture a truly disturbing pro-Iranian protest,

where attendees cheered as a masked related or celebrated the death of American service members

before calling for Hamas rockets to blow up American homes right there in the cradle of American

democracy. Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees,

let us not lose sight of the enemy, wherever U.S. military base that crumbles,

or wherever U.S. soldier who returns home in the casket, we'll cheer!

Scales asked the protester if he hated America, and he responded by saying, quote,

may a Hamas rocket blow up your family's home. Pennsylvania's Democratic Senator John

Federman reposted the clip on X and called for others and is party to speak out.

He summed it up succinctly, writing quote, these A-holes chanting for the death of our service

members, where's the dem outrage and condemnation? I'm sure you're curious as to what is going on

with that government shutdown, and I will have some answers for you after this quick break,

but before we get to that, let's start your weekend off right. Take a thing off the to-do list,

set the New York Postcast to automatic downloads. That way come Monday morning.

I'll be sitting in your phone, ready to tell you everything you missed over the weekend.

President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats

in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years,

but you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level

playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st.

While Congress continues to try and find a way out of the partial government shutdown,

President Trump moved Thursday evening to get TSA workers paid one way or another.

Posting on Truth Social, the president slammed Democrats for creating the situation,

before instructing newly minted DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin to quote,

immediately pay our TSA agents in order to address this emergency situation,

and to quickly stop the Democrat chaos at the airports. It is not an easy thing to do,

but I am going to do it. Now, this is just an emergency move. Congress still needs to get

the department funded for the long term. And to that end, Republicans made what they called

their best and final offer to Democrats on Thursday to end this now six week long partial

government shutdown. Before, both chambers of Congress leave for a two week recess,

which comes at the worst possible time, it's scheduled to start today. I ask the Post

Political Reporter Ryan King about where things stood as of Thursday night.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune had told reporters that Republicans gave Democrats

what he described as their final offer or what he hopes will be their final offer

on a deal to reopen DHS. He was really tight-lit about the specifics of the deal,

but he was saying that basically Republicans agreed to tweak some of the language

and didn't give Democrats some of the additional reforms that they were after.

This came after Democrats had presented Republicans with their

counteroffer on Wednesday, but it appears that after that counteroffer from Democrats was made

Wednesday that Republicans and Democrats and negotiators had talks throughout the night

into Thursday. And then they've kind of come and made a significant amount of progress.

As of Thursday night, though, Democrats were still a little uneasy about the latest offer

for Republicans and indicated that they wanted some more, but they were eager to get to a yes.

While the president has announced action to pay the TSA, I asked Ryan about his role in the longer

term solution that Congress is debating. The White House has told reporters that the president

is really eager to get something done on Thursday morning. The president lashed out at Chuck Schumer

and predicted that Democrats will essentially cave. He called Schumer desperate,

and then suggested that Republicans should basically nuke the filibuster if Democrats don't come

to some sort of agreement with Republicans. But we did see the president have some apprehension

earlier this week with the deal that Republicans were negotiating with Democrats on this.

He was pretty frustrated by that because he feels that Republicans, Democrats had previously come

to some sort of deal on the DHS appropriations bill weeks ago, and then Democrats basically

backed away from that and came up with these demands for forms to ICE. And he wanted the original

deal way back when, which Democrats are suggesting is off the table. So he was frustrated with that,

but House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated that the president would begrudgingly be somewhat open

minded on this. He just wants to get DHS funded. The International Olympic Committee has

ruled that transgender women will be barred from competing in women sports beginning with the

2028 Los Angeles Games. The IOC's announcement said that their decision, quote,

protects fairness, safety, and integrity in the female category. The prohibition is in line with

President Trump's executive order that banned federal funds for any athletic organization that allowed

biological males to participate in women sports. That, of course, raised more than a few

questions, given that the games are coming stateside in just over two years. Now, it's unclear

how many athletes will actually be impacted by this decision. The IOC will enforce the ban with an

S-R-Y gene screening test that checks a person's chromosomal makeup to determine their biological

gender. The ban will also apply to biological females who have a condition known as differences

in sex development or DSD in which they have male levels of testosterone despite their chromosomal

makeup. And finally, happy Friday. Who is planning to hit happy hour today? I could certainly be

persuaded, but what to drink? Well, a new study says that your choice of beverage can impact your

health differently. In other words, not all alcohol is created equal. The American College of

Cardiology says new analysis suggests that wine carries lower health risks than beer or hard liquor.

The study followed more than 340,000 British adults between 2006 and 2022.

It found that moderate wine drinkers, moderate being the operative word here,

had a 21% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to people who never drank

or only occasionally partook. It suggests drinking wine is good for you. This is what I am talking

about people. My martini and IPA lovers, however, I am sorry. In contrast, even low levels of

hard liquor, beer or cider consumption was associated with 9% higher risk of dying. But

high alcohol intake from any of these drinks was associated with a 24% increased risk of death

from any cause. So, just like all they had say, please drink responsibly.

And well, well, well, well, well. We finally got us some tremendous news to start the weekend.

So let's drink to your health that takes on new meaning now. Maybe we'll do it with a crisp

glass of Sauvy B or an oaky shard or a rich bordeaux. Maybe all three. Moderately, with all this

healthy, moderate wine tasting, you may forget a thing or two from your to-do list. Let me take

one off your plate. Set the New York Postcast to auto download and you will never have to go searching

for your morning headlines. I'll just be there. And that is something we can cheers to.
