Jacobs tells San Diegans no increased threat after Trump's Iran remarks
The short video from Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA) responds to President Trump's October 5, 2026, Nebraska rally remarks suggesting higher gas prices from the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict are 'a small price to pay' and referencing Iran potentially taking out Los Angeles or San Diego. Jacobs states she contacted local FBI and military leadership, who confirmed no increased threat to San Diego, reassures residents they are safe, and urges ending what she calls the 'reckless illegal war' to bring service members home. The segment relies on Jacobs' personal outreach to unnamed local officials rather than public statements or named sources; it presents her interpretation of Trump's comments without the White House clarification that they referred to preventing a nuclear Iran from threatening U.S. cities. No guests appear, and the throughline emphasizes local reassurance alongside anti-war advocacy amid California's monitoring of potential fallout.
