This is a personality cult. They have lost their grip on reality.
He is correct about one thing. The world *is* watching.

And it thinks you are all absurd.
There is an oddness to his demeanor that could be construed as him joking? Or the smirk is because even he doesn't believe what he is saying? It does sound at the end like he opens the possibility to a transition.
With these people it's just so hard to know anymore because they have blurred the line between fact and fiction so effectively.

Watched this live last night. @BobbyKGreen’s raw reaction to the execution of Navid Afkari in Iran was incredibly moving and his ending the interview at that point the appropriate response.
For those who may not watch UFC, Bobby Green is a real one. Here’s another clip.
RIP Navid. Image

“This boat heading to Dover and so we’ll shadow it and just see how the situation develops.”

Thank you for that, Simon. We shall cross back to you should they drown.
This is where strict adherence to impassive reporting utterly fails. It is deeply strange and unsettling to watch. Journalists should be aware of how their very presence can frame or even change what they are reporting on. Following and pointing from a large safe boat? Really?
Arguably, this sort of oddly detached reporting actually helps to dehumanise people who are fleeing desperate situations - it plays into the very goal of far right rabble-rousers and associated media. As a profession, we should do better.

You know those days when you don’t expect rain and then you’re walking for the bus and it starts to absolutely f’ing bucket down? And you’re not dressed for it. And all you have is a crappy $3 umbrella and as you fumble to open it maybe you drop your phone and smash the screen.
And maybe you set off trotting, almost jogging, for the bus and the umbrella inevitably blows inside out and you think, “Why do I always buy these shitty ones?” as you try to shove it into a bin while the rain snakes down your back and your clothes start sticking to your body.
Maybe you’re running now, already splashing puddles up so that the water is making your socks damp, and a car goes by and up comes that dirty stinking wave from the side of the road. And then you see the bus and maybe you can just .... just make it.

Videos of an explosion in Beirut spreading widely, including from journalists. This clip is shocking - huge blast. Cause as yet unknown.
Several Lebanese outlets reporting explosion may have taken place in a fireworks warehouse. Al Jazeera's Timour Azhari told the same by a security source.
Several videos now emerging purporting to show aftermath/scale of damage. Terrible.
