Embattled Democrat Aftyn Behn, currently vying for a House seat in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, attempted to do some damage control after an audio recording of her saying that she “hates” everything about Nashville went viral — and her defense may have made the situation worse. Behn, appearing on the Breaking Points podcast, fielded a question about her comment and claimed that she couldn’t possibly hate country music because she was “conceived after a George Strait concert.” WATCH: Democrat Aftyn Behn bizarrely tries to walk back her comments saying she “hates” Nashville and country music. “I do not hate country music, I was conceived after a George Strait concert.” ? pic.twitter.com/jqhixHhOq6 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) November 24, 2025 One of the hosts began by repeating her previous comment for context: “Apparently you said, ‘I hate the city, I hate the Tennessee bachelorettes, I hate pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all the things that make Nashville … I hate it.'” “The bachelorette part is a little bit fair,” one of the others joked. “So we won’t make you weigh in on that, Aftyn.” “It’s so fair,” another agreed. “But what would you like to say about this clip that’s floating around?” “So, I’m going to say something I haven’t said,” Behn replied. “And I think it’s funny, I hope my parents don’t kill me, but I do not hate country music. I was conceived after a George Strait concert, so … I feel personally attacked.” Right now, DailyWire+ annual memberships are fifty percent off during our Black Friday sale.

Behn also raised eyebrows with another audio clip in which she could be heard describing a recurring dream that she had discussed with her therapist. “My therapist always asks me to transcribe my dreams when they happen, and the recurring dream I’ve had is standing up in a cafeteria full of women — I don’t know why I was there or whatever — and saying, ‘I don’t want children. I want power!’ And just screaming it at the top of my lungs,” she recalled.

Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) threatened members of the U.S. military on Monday, warning that there would be “consequences” if they went along with the War Department’s plan to investigate Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over his participation in a video that appeared to encourage insurrection. Gallego spoke with CNN host Kasie Hunt on Monday’s broadcast of “The Arena with Kasie Hunt,” where he defended the video in which Kelly and several others called on members of the military to refuse “unlawful orders” — while clearly insinuating that President Donald Trump either would or had already issued such orders. He then lashed out at the War Department for calling out Kelly, who, as a retired Navy commander, is still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and promised retribution to any who went along with it.

And if you’re part of the military that is going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress, and part of the weaponization of government, there will be consequences, without a doubt,” he said. “I think there’s going to be a lot of officers that are part of this potential tribunal, if they want to call it that, that will be looking over their shoulders,” he claimed. “Because they know that Donald Trump will be gone, and they will not have that protection. They’re going to have to do the safest thing possible, which is follow the Constitution of the United States, and you’ll be fine.”

Binance Holdings Ltd., the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is facing a sweeping new federal lawsuit in North Dakota, alleging that it knowingly enabled more than $1 billion in crypto transactions for Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad —funds that plaintiffs say helped finance the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and subsequent assaults. More than 300 American victims and family members of those killed, wounded, or taken hostage on October 7, 2023, brought the suit under the Anti-Terrorism Act and its Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act amendment. The 284-page complaint names Binance, its co-founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao, and top executive Guangying Chen as defendants, alleging they “knowingly, willfully, and systematically assisted” designated foreign terrorist organizations for years by providing a platform to transfer and launder hundreds of millions of dollars. “From the outset, Binance boasted that it maintained no headquarters anywhere in the world. Its now-disgraced CEO and owner, Defendant Zhao, claimed the company was ‘based’ wherever he was situated at any given moment: ‘Wherever I sit is the Binance office. Wherever I meet somebody is going to be the Binance office,’” the lawsuit states. “That is, Binance pitched itself to terrorist organizations, narcotics traffickers, and tax evaders as beyond the reach of any single country’s laws or regulations.” The October 7 attack left 1,200 people in Israel dead and roughly 250 kidnapped. The plaintiffs argue that the scale and sophistication of Hamas’s assault — including weapon stockpiles and an extensive tunnel network — were made possible by covert funding streams funneled in part through Binance.

The lawsuit asserts that Binance intentionally built itself into a “refuge for illicit activity,” courting high-volume criminal users to boost revenues while evading United States oversight. It cites internal communications in which compliance officials remarked that customers were “here for crime” and joked about advertising Binance as a destination for laundering drug money. The complaint recounts multiple instances in which third-party compliance firms flagged Hamas-linked accounts. Yet, Binance allegedly declined to freeze or report them, instead warning certain customers to withdraw funds before scrutiny intensified. “Binance not only knowingly provided financial services to Hamas; it actively tried to shield its Hamas customers and their funds from scrutiny by U.S. regulators or law enforcement—a practice that continues to this day,” the lawsuit states. The filing expands on details disclosed in 2023, when Binance and Zhao pleaded guilty to violating United States anti-money-laundering laws and agreed to a $4.3 billion settlement — one of the largest in American history. Zhao resigned and served a four-month prison term before being pardoned last month by President Donald Trump. Chen was not charged. As part of its plea, Binance admitted it had failed to report suspicious Hamas-related transactions and had permitted millions of dollars in illicit transfers. The new lawsuit goes further, alleging extensive previously undisclosed transactions involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IRGC, as well as a transnational gold-smuggling network in Venezuela that plaintiffs say funneled proceeds to Iran and its proxies via Binance-linked wallets. One Venezuelan woman, allegedly acting as a front for Hezbollah, received $177 million in crypto and withdrew $43 million in cash, according to the complaint. The suit also identifies several Gaza-based exchange houses and sanctioned individuals who allegedly moved hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of cryptocurrencies through Binance accounts before and after October 7. Plaintiffs argue that assets flowing through these channels “could foreseeably be used to commit terrorist attacks” and that Binance’s actions “directly and materially contributed” to violence against Israelis and Americans.

President Donald Trump wants to speak directly with Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro as the United States continues to strike drug boats off the Latin American country’s coast. Trump, who has designated Maduro as a leader of the Cartel de Los Soles, told advisors that he hopes to speak with the Socialist leader, signaling that he could be taking a more diplomatic route rather than escalating military action, Axios reported. The president’s desire to speak with Maduro comes as the State Department designated the cartel a foreign terrorist organization, according to a notice published in the Federal Register on Monday. “Nobody is planning to go in and shoot him or snatch him — at this point. I wouldn’t say never, but that’s not the plan right now,” one official familiar with the discussions told Axios. “In the meantime, we’re going to blow up boats shipping drugs. We’re going to stop the drug trafficking,” the official said. The 21 U.S. strikes on drug boats in the Caribbean have killed at least 83 people, according to Axios. The U.S. military action in the region, dubbed “Operation Southern Spear,” is aimed at destroying drug trafficking routes, but is quietly aimed at pressuring regime change in Venezuela, the outlet reported. “We have covert operations, but it’s not designed to kill Maduro. It’s designed to stop narcotrafficking,” a White House official told Axios, saying, “if Maduro leaves, we would not shed a tear.” Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out yet another lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO). Yet again, the now-deceased terrorists were engaged in narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

For now, Trump’s call with Maduro is still “in the planning stages,” and potential topics of discussion have yet to be revealed, a U.S. official told Axios. “Maduro is a narcoterrorist. Always lead with that word if you want to represent the president’s thinking,” the official said. “The diplomats tell us that Maduro is going to say, ‘Trust me. I’ll have new elections in three years. You can come and have all the oil. I’ll stop sending it to Russia.’ He has said many things like that over many years and he never keeps his promise. So the diplomats tell us we should be suspicious,” they added.
