Trump has CATASTROPHIC THURSDAY as BLUFFS GET CALLED!!!
Donald Trump is having a catastrophic. Thursday morning. His bluff was called. regarding his AG pick Todd Blanche. Now. Donald Trump says that he may pull Todd. Blanche's nomination because Senator. Cornyn and Senator Tillis are not. willing to confirm Blanche as the. Attorney General unless and until there. is a written document formally revoking. the January 6th slush fund that Donald. Trump entered into in his personal.
capacity with the federal government in. his frivolous lawsuit and where Donald. Trump provided himself with a super. pardon to have no more tax audits for. himself and his family and his companies. essentially. for the rest of his life. And Donald. Trump now showing that the plan all. along get Blanche confirmed as the. Attorney General and then try to enforce. the settlement agreement between Trump. and the federal government where he gave.
himself that super pardon. Also this. morning you have Saudi Arabia striking. the Sanaa Airport in western Yemen. The. Houthis vowing retaliation. The Middle. East is on fire right now and you had. Iran claim that they destroyed multiple. US fighter jets, F-35s. in Jordan, multiple strikes in Kuwait. Iran is claiming that they caused.
massive devastation in their response to. the US strikes. And we know Iran. responded during the evening hours and. during the morning. I want to break this. all down for you what's taking place. this morning. Here's what Donald Trump. posted moments ago. Todd Blanche is a. star. And he capitalizes star. And everyone knows it. He has the. potential to go down as one of the. greatest Attorney Generals of all time. However, John Cornyn of Texas and Thom.
Tillis of North Carolina, both of whom I. refuse to endorse and whose political. careers have been ended by my action are. refusing to vote for this great nominee. who will remain in any event as acting. In other words, Trump wants to keep. Blanche as acting AG forever and not get. him actually confirmed by the Senate. Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted. for Merrick Garland and others too. numerous to mention. I have no objection. to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name.
if they do not do the right thing and. putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis. are out of office. Donald J. Trump. To. which Cornyn and Tillis responded, "There are many more people here on the. Senate than just us who want to see a. written document revoking that January. 6th slush fund and the settlement. agreement between Trump and the. government waiving all tax audits and. criminal investigations into Trump's tax. evasion." Now, as our editor-in-chief.
Ron Filipkowski says, "It sounds like. Todd Blanche actually wanted to sign off. on the language that the senators. requested to kill Trump's IRS immunity. and slush fund so he can get the gig as. attorney general, but his client Donald. Trump won't let him. Not really how any. of this is supposed to work, but this is. a lawless organized crime operation. Indeed, it is a lawless organized crime. operation." On the Midas Touch account,
we explain, "This makes the Epstein. files, Trump's slush fund for. insurrectionists, and tax fraud immunity. major topics heading into the midterms.". And so it seems just abundantly clear. the following. The fact that Blanche. refused to terminate the slush fund in. writing for Trump's criminal cronies, as. well as his IRS immunity deal proves. that his testimony at his confirmation. hearing that these things were dead was.
always a lie. Everything with Trump is. always a lie. They were dead until he. got confirmed. And then Cornyn said, "Just put it in writing. We'll make it. very simple that the January 6th fund in. the super pardon. is terminated. Put it in writing and. then we'll confirm you as the AG.". They're refusing to do that. As I've. always said, this was all about Donald. Trump waving his tax liability, as he's. always done his whole life with tax.
evasion and all of the criming and. scamming and fraud that Trump committed. his whole damn life while he ripped. people off, while he screwed people. over. And they also wanted you to be. outraged, as we all should be, about the. January 6th insurrection fund, but it. was about Trump who made billions and. billions of dollars, and I believe far. more than has been reported thus far. What was it? 4 billion in the first year. alone he made in all of his quid pro quo. deals using the White House as his.
personal piggy bank and screwing over. the American people. I think the. number's closer to 10 billion dollars, but even if you accept 4 billion. dollars, that means the taxes on that. would probably be. a billion, a billion and a half, 2 and a. half billion dollars, maybe, depending. on the way these deals were structured. He wanted to waive all of that and of. course waive all of the past tax. liability. That's what this was always. about. And now he's saying, "I'm going. to pull the nomination of Blanche.
temporarily and then hope that we have. control over the Senate after the. midterms because it's so important to. Donald Trump that he has this uh tax. evasion immunity." What a crook, what a. scoundrel, what a criminal he is, in my. opinion. We got other bad news this. morning. US GDP growth slowed to an. annual annualized rate of just 1.5% in. the second quarter coming in well below. expectations. Expectations were 2.1%.
Remember when Trump and. Lutnick and Hassett and Bessent it's. going to rip. It's going to rip. It's. going to I expect 4% GDP, 5%. year-over-year GDP. Right now it is. heading in the wrong direction, very. slow growth. Here here's how they. reported it on state regime media Fox. Let's play it. >> with estimates. Let's get to GDP. This. is the first look we're getting at. second quarter GDP and Maria the first.
read is 1.5%. 1 and 1/2 percent. The estimate was a. gain of 2.1%. So we're coming in a. little bit light on this first look at. second quarter GDP. >> And here's how they reported it on CNN. Let's play this clip. >> data in working through it. Matt, what. does this new data tell you? >> Well, Kate, it tells us that the economy. slowed down during the spring. US GDP. coming in at 1 and 1/2 percent. That was. softer than expected, right? The. forecast was for 2.1% and this is a.
slowdown from the first quarter when. growth was at 2.1%. So this is soft. It's not terrible, but it's certainly. not blockbuster growth by any stretch. >> With all of this chaos going around in. the world caused by Donald Trump with. the pain, misery, and suffering of the. American people caused by Donald Trump. with all of his fraud, his lies being. exposed with the never-ending war still. never-ending. and seems that there's just going to be.
more and more escalation and all-out war. and all-out hell. By the way, not to. mention you had Russia's ballistic. missiles yesterday. I did a video on. this earlier. The targets were Lviv in Poland, but. apparently. they hit. Lviv in Ukraine rather, but apparently. they hit eastern Poland even though the. targets were western Ukraine and there. were some areas in eastern Poland in. Lublin. that were actually hit. And I wasn't.
sure when I was doing the video, but we. have confirmation now by the way from. Poland's Prime Minister who's kind of. downplaying it it seems like a little. bit the way we hear these Arab nations. say, "Oh, the drones never struck. It. was just the debris." That's what the. Prime Minister of Poland saying right. now. "It was just debris. It was I don't. know." I don't know cuz you're also. saying the Prime Minister of Poland. "These next 100 days will be the most. critical days to determine who wins the. war, Russia or Ukraine." And this is.
what Prime the Prime Minister of Poland. is saying, "A lot depends on Donald. Trump and Elon Musk to help Zelenskyy.". I've been warning about this. I said, you know, there are lots of people who. were saying, "Oh, well Donald Trump. seems to be more supportive of Zelenskyy. now." And he's saying I said, "No, no, no, no, no. Trump is a scammer. He'll. lure you in. It's just another tactic. He's on the phone with Putin still and. he's probably Trump's probably just. trying to get more information out of.
Zelenskyy right now about formations and. what Zelenskyy's planning. So, in my. opinion, so he can tell Putin." Let's. not let's not lose sight of what's. really happening here or to make these. promises to Zelenskyy, make Zelenskyy. more dependent on Trump because. Zelenskyy was becoming pretty. independent of Trump. So, Trump can pull. him back into his orbit, feel the feel. that he's controlling Zelenskyy right. now, and then promise things, "Okay, I'll get you the interceptors. I'll give. you the license." Zelenskyy then changes.
his strategy depending on Trump, and. then Trump doesn't deliver. That's how. Trump operates. I just want everybody to. know that anyway. So, with all of this. going on in the world, with the world at. a war in war right now with each other, what's MAGA doing? Again, this morning. still attacking Dr. Fauci. I mean, you've got MAGA Republican Senator Ron. Johnson from Wisconsin saying, "Look, Dr. Fauci wasn't just wrong on COVID. He. was wrong about AIDS.". He tried to act like AIDS and HIV was a. big thing. He fearmongered AIDS and HIV.
Here, play this clip. >> the the injection injuries, the the. economic devastation, it never should. have happened. But, it all happened. because of St. Fauci. fearmongering, scaremongering, just like. he did with AIDS. Do you remember that? He's, you know, "AIDS, this could be, you know, you know, household. transmission." No, that's not it. But, he did that same way cuz he wanted to. get a vac- cuz he's a vaccinologist. He. He He admitted it in October 2019 in. Milken Institute panel.
>> He fearmongered. Hey, these people are. the craziest people. What do you mean he. fearmongered AIDS and HIV's a big deal. The COVID deaths were a big deal. You. want to look at where more deaths took. place and say, "Aha, maybe they were in. red states and areas that voted Trump. overwhelmingly." Like, do these people. not care about like dying? I mean, they. just live I guess they live in a death. cult. I guess they don't. Then, they. bring on MAGA Republican Congressman. John McGuire and he's like, "Have you. heard about the BLT sandwich using the.
human fetus baby parts in vaccine. sandwiches?" Dude, what are you all. talking about? The American people just. want health care. We don't want to be in. never-ending wars. People want to be. able to be paid with dignity. They want. a fair wage. They want to be able to. afford their own. What are you talking. about BLT fetus sandwiches? These people. are freaking crazy. Here, play this. clip. >> It's just It's crazy. I don't know if. you heard about the BLT sandwich using. human fetus baby parts.
>> Yep. in the vaccine when they could have. used Ivermectin, but maybe they're. helping the big farmer get rich. Um, if. he were to be convicted of contempt, it'd be a $100,000 fine, up to a year in. jail, but that's not enough. And Senator. Scott said he's hiding behind a fake. auto pen pardon. So, I'm hoping that he. gets accountability and justice. >> The amount. >> Now, um, as I noted earlier, you had Saudi. Arabia just launched multiple strikes on. the Sana, the capital of Yemen. The.
Houthi leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, warned that there were indications this. would take place. Watch what's going to happen. The. Houthis surely will be attacking more. refineries in Saudi Arabia and other. infrastructure. Wait for that. I'm sure. I'll be reporting on that this morning. Notable development, as well, Qatar. Qatar sent its first shipment of. liquefied natural gas through the Strait. of Hormuz in weeks, using Iran's.
designated shipping corridor. No longer the Oman route that the US. tried to open. Pakistan worked with Iran. to broker this Qatari LNG tanker to. pass. And again, this follows Iran. striking LNG tankers of the United. States in Egypt, which the US and. CENTCOM and corporate new news here in. the United States basically tried to. cover up. And any of the tankers that. were using that US route by Oman were.
getting hit by tanker after tanker uh by. Iran. Strait of Hormuz is closed, other. than the Iranian route. And we see it. right here with this Qatari ship working. with Pakistan to get permission from the. IRGC. Okay, CENTCOM, you claim you. control the Strait of Hormuz, then why. did this Qatar You're you're close with. Qatar. Qatar gave Trump a jet. So, if. you control the Strait of Hormuz, why. did Qatar need to reach out to Pakistan. to broker its tanker to go through the.
Iranian IRGC-backed route. If you. control the Strait of Hormuz, income. It's so ridiculous. So, just some basic. developments that have happened over the. past 12 hours. The Jordanian army says. Iran launched several missiles toward. its territory. The Kuwaiti army said. Iran launched a heavy attack on its. territory and struck a building. belonging to a Chinese company, but. failed to admit other losses. Lots of. red flags there, a Chinese company. Doesn't make sense. Iran is allied with. China and Kuwait. Just putting that.
information out. They've been lying. about all of these drops, so I don't I. don't fully believe that it's a Chinese. company. I believe they hit a building. Um the the Qatari LNG ship passes. Um and IRGC announced uh successful. strikes, for example, in the Muwaffaq. al-Salti airbase, according to IRGC. The. strike damaged and destroyed six F-35. fighter aircraft, it claimed. Um also, the IRGC claims it hit the al-Salam.
airbase in Kuwait, setting fire on two. drone hangers and one fuel depot for. military aircraft and helicopters. Iran. also claims there were casualties of US. service members. We know that the United States covers. all this stuff up, so I just I don't. know if the IRGC is telling the truth. there about the casualties. It does seem. that they definitely hit these bases. hard, but there's basically been a. blackout where the US refuses to. acknowledge what's actually happening uh. in the region.
Um. uh final points I want to bring up as. well before uh before we go. Uh we've. been covering this World Cup. uh debacle right now, where the Kushners. and Trump want Gianni Infantino, and. Gianni Infantino's leading this, to. basically turn FIFA into a a hold co. that would sell off FIFA World Cup to. private equity. They would sell a 20%. stake in the World Cup to a Kushner-led.
company, to Josh Kushner, but this is. all in the family, to a Kushner-led. company, and UEFA, um the European uh soccer football. federation, they came out all 55. of the uh UEFA uh countries unanimously. came out and supported a boycott of the. World Cup if FIFA plans to sell the. stakes. And you think about it. I mean, the UEFA, the European Federation,
that's the most powerful part of FIFA. So, when they all came together and they. said, "We're boycotting. uh the World Cup," uh Donald Trump and. Gianni Infantino and their greed and. their disgusting behavior may have now. just fully destroyed the World Cup. They. took the World Cup and they said, "Hey, you know what? Seem People brought. people together. People were bringing. joy. Let's destroy that." Cuz that's. what these Epstein-class oligarchs do. all of the time. I'll just I'll just. note this also. Um there was a global.
health summit that just took place in. Africa. Um so, the State Department did a. presentation at a global AIDS conference. in Brazil. Um. uh and uh they displayed a fully. inaccurate map of Africa at this global. health summit. A State Department. presentation at a global a global AIDS. conference in Brazil featured a map. mislabeling every African nation as. officials blamed hasty edits in AI tools.
for the blunder. Like, literally every. country they put in the wrong place uh. on the on the map right there. There you. have it, everybody. We'll keep you posted each step of the. way.
