MS NOW’s Noriega Warns of World Cup Unrest in ‘Moment of Great Turmoil’ #Political
As the World Cup opened in the U.S. in Los Angeles on Friday, MS NOW’s David Noriega warned of possible political unrest in America amid the start of global soccer tournament. He said the World Cup was a window into “the politics of a host nation and into the geopolitical moment,” which he referred to as the U.S. hosting in “a moment of great turmoil.”
Noriega's fearmongering came after MS NOW Reports connected the expiration of the FISA warrant program, set to expire on Friday, to the start of the World Cup.
He then began his portion with an explanation of the security challenge of the World Cup, and explained possible protests that were, of course, anti-Trump.
The LAPD told Noriega they “expect protests,” which Noreiga expanded upon and stated, “The protests could come from any number of places: anti-ICE protests, anti-Trump protests.” He also mentioned possible anti-Iranian Islamic Regime protests “by Persian communities in LA against the presence of the Iran team, the team representing the current Iranian regime here in the United States.”
He also talked about LAPD staffing shortages and noted the federal government was essentially funding the police department through special programs from the Department of Homeland Security.

Noriega turned to talk about the politics of the moment, relating back to his mention of possible anti-Trump administration protests. He mentioned the “global significance” of the tournament before he came back to politics:
The World Cups are always sort of a window into the politics of a host nation and into the geopolitical moment.
In what could be described as a warning or a moment that framed the U.S. as an unstable country, he related the security of the World Cup events back to American politics and the period of global conflicts:
And in this moment, what we're seeing is the U.S. co-hosting this event in a moment of great turmoil and uncertainty and instability (...)
Noriega then opined there could be threats and unrest, from even possibly Americans: “(...) That's going to show up in a lot of different ways, whether it be threats or unrest from the American people themselves or something that we can't, at this point, even predict. “
Noriega’s reference to unrest from the American people seemed to frame his entire words about “a moment of great turmoil” as a hit on American politics and the current Republican administration.
The fear of some international reporters - even American reporters like Noriega - who wanted to frame everything as a referendum on Trump policies was astounding. They have pumped out constant disapproval and a barrage of stories about denial of entry to a Somalian referee who has alleged ties to people associated with terrorism, even as a Democratic representative said it seemed to be a valid denial.

DAVID NORIEGA: We spoke to the LAPD’s head of the incident command division, who said that they expect - it's a citywide challenge. They expect, for example, protests. The protests could come from any number of places: anti-ICE protests, anti-Trump protests, but also, interestingly, in advance of Iran's first game in the United States on Monday, protests by Persian communities in LA against the presence of the Iran team, the team representing the current Iranian regime here in the United States.
The LAPD, Alex, has been facing pretty substantial staffing shortages for years at this point. When we asked them how they were sort of managing that in the face of this massively complex security event. They told us that they're confident. They're not worried about it at all, mainly because they have a bunch of overtime for their officers. That overtime comes primarily, or not primarily, it comes largely from an influx of funding cash from the federal government, the Department of Homeland Security. They're also working with the FBI, for example, on a counter-drone program. Cheap commercial drones are everywhere now, and they present a potential security threat.
Look, when I look at all of this, everything that I'm telling you, what I see is that this is a massive, globally significant event with huge crowds. The World Cups are always sort of a window into the politics of a host nation and into the geopolitical moment. And in this moment, what we're seeing is the U.S. co-hosting this event in a moment of great turmoil and uncertainty and instability, and that's going to show up in a lot of different ways, whether it be threats or unrest from the American people themselves or something that we can't, at this point even predict. Alex?
