[@MarlinKFisher]

Finally. Someone willing to just say it like it is. It’s a shame the state will never allow him to speak again. 58:31

[@MSRgoogle]

Who is he? Kudos to him for him cutting thru MM bs.

[@steve7236]

​@@MSRgoogle he is Liam Cosgrove

[@silverkitty2503]

[@kingpin571]

Honestly surprised they didn't mute his mic with the state of American politics

[@kinkle_Z]

Matt Miller is paid to lie and push us ever so quickly into a final nuclear holocaust that wipes out all life on Earth. That's his job description!

[@korykraner7876]

how can you say you want peace. when you say you want israel to attack Lebanon. you dont trust them. but you want them to trust you and lay down their arms. and pull back from a critical strategic position.

[@merissacarlisle8043]

Lebanon and Hezbola (sp?) are not the same

[@user-mu7ws6sy7y]

Please tell me?? WHO was that Brave Person?? My Goodness!!! Finally Someone laid it BARE. Sir I SALUTE YOU!!!

[@steve7236]

His name is Liam Cosgrove and he is a reporter at The Gray Zone

[@user-mu7ws6sy7y]

@@steve7236 Thank you so much. I occasionally watch Max Blumenthal but I will most definitely be on the lookout for him from now on as well.

[@inka12877]

⁠@@steve7236yes, and Grayzone is a far left publication whose editor used to work for Russia’s Sputnik and received money from the Iranian government-owned media and whose founder often appears on Russian television. No wonder they push Russian and Iranian narrative…

[@jamesross2438]

So, no comment on nuclear war? Let's just duck our heads and move on

[@mozabb5747]

So crazy right? Anyone know who that reporter was? The question was clearly “do you think we should consider negotiating with people we keep labeling as monsters

[@MSRgoogle]

Lol!!! Right?!

[@steve7236]

The reporter's name is Liam Cosgrove

[@vangihatton8642]

How can he ignore the question it was an awesome question. He knows the answer as it seems Israel and US are wanting a nuclear war, which is crazy, as the world will be affected. Thank you US....disgraceful

The US has spent more than $22bn on military aid to Israel and on funding Israeli aggressions across the region over the past year, a new report says. According to a report published by Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, the US has given Israel $17.9bn in military aid since the onset of the genocidal war on Gaza last October. In inflation-adjusted dollars, this marks the highest amount of military aid to the regime. The figure surpasses US military aid to the regime during the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. The dollar figure is also nearly quadruple the amount given to Israel in the 1980s during its war against the Palestinian Liberation Organization in Lebanon, its 15-year occupation of Lebanon, and its 2006 war against Hezbollah, the Middle East Eye said. According to the report, the aid to Israel includes military financing, weapons sales, and transfers from US weapons stockpiles. The report highlights how US taxpayer dollars given to Israel as part of military aid have surged in the past year.

[@thumbob]

And Israel isn’t even in the top 20 of countries the us gives aide to. That should tell you something. How about we keep that money and use for people suffering from hurricanes, fires etc, In our own country.

[@Ghandi12]

Dozens of billions given to some Muslim countries.

There is no red line. This administration has 1 goal. Make israel bigger.

Dominance of the Middle East Region to the detriment of everyone who lives there

[@stefangier1592]

Miller always looks so pale and nervous at the podium. A gut feeling tells me “don’t trust him.”

[@ta-qz9xo]

Liam Cosgrove. bravely stated what everyone else actually wants to say and ask. Matt Miller looked shook, and thrown. Kudos to Liam. The rest are just conforming sheep playing the press briefing charade

[@Donetravlin]

36:42 Israel government is not capable of doing what they are doing without our AID. How are they sovereign?

[@jrmint2]

Israel is a top weapons exporter, as well as having 29th rank in GDP. They are a wealthy country. Our support for them is to ensure their security and hence our security.

[@felixfontaeus4518]

@@jrmint2real reason is because Israel is in the pockets of congressmen and politicians. Follow the money. Our security is more at risk now than before October 7th

[@araketanara259]

I've thought about Matt in many different ways, dude from minions, vampire, bull sh** artist, today I'm going with slippery eel...

The problem is that no one believes what Blinken says as he is a known liar

[@TheHamlet64]

The Matt and Matt show, it’s odd and unserious

[@user-mu7ws6sy7y]

Based on Bravery this press conference will be hidden in the Algorithm. I have attempted to pull it up on 2 devices. It's not easy. 😂

[@vangihatton8642]

Wait, hasn't usrael been issued resolutions from UNSC, and they've ignored them?

[@tofilee5393]

The reporters live in a pink movie that the Middle East region is naive and peace-loving, while Israel is aggressive. They are disconnected 

[@vangihatton8642]

_"We have _*_always wanted_*_ the Lebanese people to be able _*_to choose_*_ their leaders, to be able to choose their government,"_ remarks Miller. Alternatively, _"we want"_ the Lebanese people to be able _"to choose_ their leaders" *except* for "A" or "B." Therefore, Lebanese "democracy" is _conditional_ and *constrained* to U.S. interests!

[@luckybritton3668]

Just following up, we'll be sending another $200 million to Lebanon, and thats all we wanted to make sure the public knew where their tax dollars were going. Thank you 😊

[@ia388]

Don't forget about billions sent to Israel.

[@that_geniusjay7437]

I won't even believe that, cause why you giving money to a government that you want to replace. Don't make sense

[@kowash10]

Miller is such a 🤡, to even try to joke when such hot garbage spews out of his mouth. Lacks self awareness. Dude, you stand up here and gaslight everyday. Idk how he even sleeps. 😏

There's an obvious bias in the room against Israel, no mention of the billions spent on the so-called Palestinians. These same people that are chanting death to America & Israel & actively supporting Hamas
