Alabama.

Alabama.

Our great state.

The voice of Alabama values.

Alabama unbelievable people.

And now, here is Andrea Ties.

Both U.S. Senators for Alabama were in the state of Delaware this past Wednesday to pay their respects to the six service members who were killed in western Iraq in an air tanker crash.

Three of those crew members worked for the 99th refueling squadron that spaced out of Birmingham.

They were Major Alex Clinton, Captain Ariana Savino, and tech sergeant Ashley Pruitt.

Senator Katie Britt called the dignified transfer of those bodies onto U.S. soil, a humbling and heartbreaking experience.

She says that the three service members were part of the Birmingham community and exemplified the very best of what it means to be in Alabama.

And the three other crew members who were killed were from the Ohio National Guard.

Authorities in Barcelona, Spain say that they have recovered the body of a University of Alabama student who was there on spring break.

James Paul Gracie went missing this past Tuesday and was last seen on security camera footage leaving a club in downtown Barcelona with an unidentified person.

Gracie's wallet was then found floating in the sea water near the city's waterfront.

This prompted a search of the waters in which Gracie's body was then retrieved.

Gracie is from the state of Illinois and his family has flown out to Spain in order to be available to police as they continue to work on this case.

A state Senate committee has approved and passed a bill that addresses an issue that arose last year within the Alabama High School Athletic Association regarding student athletes who are utilizing the Choose Act.

The bill would provide a private right of action for a Choose Act student to take against any inner scholastic athletic association where their eligibility is being challenged or questioned.

The move comes after the AHSA made a new policy in 2025 that an athlete transferring to a school by way of the Choose Act could not play in a sports program for a year following that transfer.

The governor's office said this bill would stop any discrimination from happening against an athlete who's coming into a school through the Choose Act.

The director of legislative affairs for Governor Ivy Drew Harrell says this is not to create a special exception for Choose Act students, but it is a way to make sure that they're not deemed ineligible to play as an athlete simply because they're there due to the Choose Act, especially if that student also meets all the other requirements necessary for transferring to a new school.

The Alabama House has passed a bill this week that closes the primary election process for both state parties state representative Ernie Yarbrough sponsored the bill which passed with a 63 to 35 vote.

The bill requires voters to register within the political party they wish to align with before they can cast a vote in that party's primary.

A primary is the process of selecting a candidate to run and represent that party in the general election.

The ability to switch parties would not be allowed 60 days prior to a primary election.

Democrats all voted against the measure with minority leader Anthony Daniel saying that Democrats don't want to close their primaries.

State Senator Sam Gavan will sponsor the bill as it works his way through the state Senate.

However, there are only six days left in the legislative session.

A making county jury returned from deliberations on Thursday with a guilty verdict against 36-year-old Ibrahim Yazeed for the murder of 19-year-old Anaya Blanchard back in 2019.

Blanchard was a student at Southern Union in Auburn and was last seen getting in her car at a gas station in Auburn.

Yazeed was charged with kidnapping Blanchard at some point after she was spotted at that gas station.

Blanchard died by way of a gunshot wound to the head her body was then found a month later in rural making county.

The National News President Trump has said once again that no U.S. truth will be put on the ground in Iran.

The U.S. and Israel continue with their efforts to locate and destroy Iranian weapon systems, vessels, vehicles and missile systems.

However, Israel is acting on its own with a different agenda than that of the U.S.

This is prompted Trump to make a public statement about a recent Iranian gas field in the Gulf area that was hit by Israeli rockets.

Now Israel has announced that they will hold off on any more attacks on the South Park's gas field that Iran shares with the country of Qatar.

Iran has also not backed down on launching attacks that includes various oil refineries, including some in Saudi Arabia,

as well as a vessel off the coast of the United Arab Emirates and a natural gas facility in Qatar.

The Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Abu Ghatt calls the Iranian attacks on other Gulf nations a dangerous escalation,

also in the country of Lebanon where Israel has sent missile strikes to take out the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group.

There are now more than a million people who have been displaced due to these attacks.

Lebanese government says 1,000 people have also been killed.

And the Pentagon is now asking the Trump administration for $200 billion.

That's right, $200 billion more in funding for this effort in Iran to continue forward.

Since we're starting out this report with international news, I'm just going to stay in line with that and just say that there is a growing suspicion that Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is either dead or seriously injured or in hiding after an Iranian missile struck a facility in Tel Aviv last week.

That is believed to be an area where Netanyahu was living.

The reason this death rumor continues forward is there's been a number of videos that have been put out by Israel on Netanyahu social media account that are continually insisting that he's not dead.

However, upon further scrutiny, those videos are found to be most likely made by artificial intelligence and not to be live coverage of Netanyahu.

There are crazy anomalies and artifacts that occur within these videos of Netanyahu.

And on top of all of that, the context in which they're being offered to the public is very very strange.

For example, one was released a few days ago of the Prime Minister going to a coffee shop and sipping a cup of coffee.

And despite the fact that the video shows you some AI anomalies, the context is also way off.

Since the country of Israel is under attack in a lot of ways in Netanyahu is going out to get coffee.

This past Thursday, another video was released of a press conference where Netanyahu started to make strange comments about a book that talks about Jesus and Genghis Khan.

Well, history proves that unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good, aggression will overcome moderation.

So you have no choice. If you look at the world as it is today, you have to be blind not to see that the democracies, led by the United States, have to reassert their will to defend themselves and to oppose their enemies in time while they're still time.

Before the jarring gong of danger wakes them up and wakes them up too late.

The journalist Ben Swan, who made the very accurate report years ago about pizegate and a pedophile ring among elites, has now put out a video discussing this latest AI video.

You know, the more that we talk about whether or not, maybe Netanyahu is alive, the more I start to think he's dead because every time he shows up in public, it's clearly AI.

Today, Netanyahu came out and held a press conference, proof that he was alive. He even said to the world, this is proof. Here's the problem. There are at least two major AI mistakes here.

The first one, given a lot of attention online, is his sleeve. Watch here as he puts his hand on the side of the podium and magically his cuff from his shirt grows out of his suit coat.

Clearly, it's AI. This is not real.

But then watch here in this video. You can see where Netanyahu puts his hand on the podium. And again, where his thumb was, it grows into another finger.

I have no idea what's going on. No idea why these videos seem to be AI. Every time he shows up and makes a public appearance, it's another AI video. Maybe he's dead. Maybe he's not.

But the fact of these videos keep being released and they're getting better, but still not perfect, still raises the question, is Netanyahu even alive?

When it comes to Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu's influence on U.S. foreign policy, especially when it comes to entering into the war with Iran, there is a two hour long interview that Tucker Carlson had with the former director of the Center for Counterterrorism Jo Kent.

Kent recently resigned from that position. In fact, just two days ago, because of the intelligence, he has gathered about the country of Iran for the past decade and how that has been laid by the wayside in order for Israeli derived intelligence to prevail in the decision making.

Kent says that that intelligence is tailored in such a way to achieve Israel's long term goals for the Middle East rather than benefit U.S. interest.

The podcast is well worth listening to in order to understand Kent's position on this, especially in light of the fact that Fox News and other mainstream media have now decided to slander Kent, make him out to be a leaker of classified information and conveniently reveal at this time that he's under FBI investigation.

The timing of this is all very suspect since it comes out immediately after his resignation letter was put out with an explanation.

And former CIA analyst Larry Johnson spoke about Jo Kent on OAN news with former Congressman Matt Gaetz.

What's your current assessment of the status of this war between the United States and Iran?

We picked the fight that we can't win and we have put you Iran in the driver's seat and it's very foolish.

It's not like Donald Trump wasn't warned not to do this.

Reportedly General Kane of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said don't do it.

John Ratcliffe of the CIA reportedly said never think about it.

You had the National Council of Intelligence Council, the Nick, it had issued a written assessment saying you're not going to get regime change.

And then we saw with Jo Kent, I think one of your former colleagues from Congress, I think he served briefly.

But he was in charge of all the terrorism intelligence.

There was no imminent threat to the United States.

And Donald Trump, this is not just Donald Trump.

I've seen this before with other presidents where they are committed to a particular policy.

And no matter what the intelligence says, they want to do the opposite.

I mean, that goes back to Lyndon Bain, Johnson and Vietnam.

In National News, the US Senate is working over the weekend as debate over the Save America Act continues.

The goal for the weekend is to pass the Save America Act as well as get funding for the Department of Homeland Security,

which is currently under a partial shutdown with certain departments not getting the necessary money.

This is all due to Democrats wanting to renegotiate some DHS policies on deportations.

Louisiana Senator John Kennedy says he has offered a resolution that would withhold the pay coming to senators,

or a government shutdown is enforced.

That resolution has passed a committee and a journalist with the Gateway Pundit caught Kennedy in the Capitol building hallway to ask him about it.

My bill came out of the rules committee unanimously.

The only thing stopping it from passing, I'm not saying everybody will vote for it, but I think most senators will.

Senator, things got to bring it to the floor.

Because it's in the form of a resolution, you can't really, it's difficult to put it on another bill.

And so, I have chased John like he stole Thanksgiving to try to give him to do it, but so far he hadn't agreed, but I'll keep pounding.

So DHS employees could maybe reach out the Thunes office and try to help get pushed forward a mechanism to bring it to the floor?

The U.S. Department of Justice has issued a subpoena to former FBI director James Comey regarding the ongoing investigation into Russia gate.

This Russia gate stems back to the Obama administration and the efforts by that administration and heads of agencies to frame incoming President Donald Trump as being beholden to Russia in his win of the presidential election.

This was all done in an attempt to hamstring Trump's agenda and his ability to change anything within the deep state in Washington DC.

Apparently the DOJ has issued 130 total subpoenas, including one for the former CIA director John Brennan, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, and former FBI special agent Peter Struck.

Federal prosecutors have charged the co-founder of a microchip company for aiding China in the sale of these electronic components.

Yee-shen law is the co-founder of super micro computer incorporated with manufacturing that occurs in California.

He and two other associates Stephen Chang and Willie Sun are accused of conducting an operation that diverted $2.5 billion worth of navidia chips to China.

These specialty microchips are used with high-end artificial intelligence hardware.

The three men are accused of routing the microchip processors to a third party overseas that would then complete the transfer on to China.

Super micro computer incorporated would then obscure their files and documents when it comes to where those shipments were going.

This was done in order to bypass the US export ban on these types of computer elements being sent to China out of national security concerns.

The navidia high-performance processors are critical for the implementation of generative AI models in analytic systems.
