The video uploaded on Instagram opened with Priest on his early morning treadmill session, during which he keeps himself updated with news. Looking at the recent happenings regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, Priest became doubtful. “Does anyone sometimes think the timeline seems funny?” he asked. He also pointed out Joe Biden’s decision to give $6 billion to Iran. He drew attention to reports that suggest Iran might have procured weapons from Ukraine.

For Priest, the consecutive chain of events feels a bit too convenient. He also highlights an event where New Yorkers received a text regarding the testing of emergency services just days before the attack on Israel. He alludes to conspiracy theories, suggesting there’s more to the story than what meets the eye.
