From the transcript

A few days ago, Kippered an Al-Hara journalist named Joelle L. Harge Musa started going viral. She's setting up to report from Beirut, when a man identifying himself as Hezbollah yells at her to stop filming.

Rather than leaving, she pits him with the Lebanese equivalent of, "yeah, so what?" And she did all of this without breaking a stride. The clip's actually from 2022, but the reason it amassed over 2 million views this week is that it completely encapsulates the shift that's taken place over the last few years in Lebanon.

For the first time since the terrorist group got started, the country is done with them, done with a group that acts like it owns the country, and done with their country being dragged around the behest of the government of Iran.
