What was said

The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Reuters reports that a three-minute video broadcast by Iranian state TV alleged a $10 million bounty had been offered for Barron Trump's killing, and the Secret Service confirmed it was aware of the video.[1][4]
Supports. The Atlantic describes the video as Iran's announcement of a $10 million bounty for the president's son, and CNN-sourced reporting says IRIB aired a video that appeared to offer the bounty.[3][5]
Context. Snopes rates the claim as still under investigation, and Euronews states the bounty claim could not be independently verified at publication, so no fact-checker has confirmed that a bounty was actually funded.[2][6]
Context. The video was broadcast on Channel 3, linked to the IRGC, and was titled 'Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?', so the offer was made through state-run media rather than a formal government notice.[7][8][9]
