Trump HIT FROM ALL SIDES…
It's been an awful morning for Donald. Trump so far. The price of crude just. exceeded $100 a barrel, then rapidly. increased to $101 a barrel, and it keeps. on increasing from there. We believe it. could be hitting $120 per barrel soon. Iran preparing graphics like this, celebrating Donald Trump's incompetence. $101, the Iranian graphic says. Meanwhile, you have Russia's foreign. minister, Sergey Lavro, saying that. Donald Trump's incompetence could lead.
to World War II comparing the current. situation uh that's taking place. throughout the world to the. assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand. and Sarvo, which led to World War I. Clearly, foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. realizes that Donald Trump is terrified. of a World War II, and so he's pushing. those buttons. At the same time, Russia. is striking hard in Kev, further showing. the failures of Witoff and Kushner's. visit uh to Moscow and then to Ukraine,
as I call them, dumb and dumber. Look. what happened moments ago in Kev. You. can see the Shahi drone striking a. residential building in Kev just now. Play this clip. Ukraine also striking back hard against. Russia. Drones belonging to Ukraine flew. 3,300 kilometers deep into Russia,
setting a new distance record for. Ukrainian drones. It's basically almost. like from New York to California or New. York to kind of Colorado. That's how far. these Ukrainian drones are able to fly. right now in terms of the distance. We're seeing the aftermath of some of. those Ukrainian strikes. Also, we have. learned this morning, as we reported. earlier, uh, when Iran said it struck 10. ships in the straight of Hormuz and in. the surrounding area. Um, two more.
tankers apparently have been hit by. Iran. The UK MTO just issued a warning. There was a tanker that was struck near. Iraq and then another tanker that was. struck off the coast of Dubai. The. tanker being struck right off the coast. of Dubai is notable because that's the. first time a tanker in that specific. location off Dubai has been hit since. March. Things are clearly escalating and. we saw that escalation manifest.
yesterday as well when the Trump regime. struck five Iranian civilian oil tankers. in the straight of Hormuz and then. Sentcom bragged about destroying Iranian. tankers. I mean, the proud United States. Navy bragging about basically behaving. like pirates. It's very it's very. bizarre to me. But then Iran responded. by striking at US military bases in. Jordan like the Muafic Salty base, uh. the King Fisizel base, other bases. there. The US was forced to use anywhere.
between 60 to 100 interceptors. Each of. them cost about $4 million each. So, we. could be talking about close to a. billion dollars in interceptors were. used. And we saw a lot of those. ballistic missiles um strike their. targets in Jordan. Although the Trump. regime and SenCom claims that they and. Jordan were able to strike all of the. Iranian ballistics and none of them hit. their target even though we saw on the. video that the ballistic missiles were. hitting a lot of their targets and a lot.
of the interceptors were not all that uh. effective. Let me take you back to. what's happening here in the United. States. As you may know, tonight is the. so-called Republican Midterm Convention. Um, and this is going to be taking place. in Dallas, Texas. Reporters who are. there are saying the vibes are. absolutely horrible right now. This is. from Politico's Playbook about what they. say the scene is like in Dallas right. now. Um, Republicans Trumpooa threatens.
to put the party's general election. headaches on blast with candidates. finding new ways to try to keep their. distance from Donald Trump over fears. he'll drag them down in November. The. vibes are very bad in Texas, said one. GOP lobbyist. My only hope is that no. one watches it since it's competing. versus NFL opening games. No one knows. about it. No enthusiasm. It's during. football. Somebody else comments. Also,
there was a uh scoop in Axios by top. Trump White House officials who leaked. this to one of Donald Trump's top. propaganda outlets. Now, this is what. they say in Axios. Top White House. officials and elected Republicans tell. us the same thing in private. They no. longer even try to persuade Donald Trump. to do or not do something. Why bother? a. longtime adviser and admirer told us. Weird way to describe admirer told us.
now Joe Kent who was the number two in. Trump's office for the director of. national intelligence. He was Tulsi. Gabbard's right hand and then Joe Kent. resigned after Donald Trump's. catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. This is what Joe Kent says. This article. is clearly a defensive maneuver by White. House advisers and Republicans who. either encourage Trump to launch this. war or who lack the courage to tell him. that this war would be a disaster. because the war is going so poorly. The.
hawks in the White House are pinning it. all on Trump hoping to survive the. inevitable fallout with their sights. already set on whatever role comes next. Of course, the buck stops with pus, but. key voices who were against the war were. boxed out and our own intelligence. communities warnings were ignored. That's coming from a top White House. official right there. So, what are these. Trump regime officials doing and saying. this morning as well? Well, you had. Brooke Rollins, Donald Trump's. agriculture secretary, who was on. NewsNation. She was asked about the.
rising prices and how the American. people are suffering right now as a. result of the Trump regime's behavior. What do you think she said? Oh, you. think she blamed Biden? Yeah, that's. kind of what they do. That's their only. move. Here, play this clip. >> Pack, you know, prices a little bit more. for M. As I mentioned off the top, I'm. asking you questions as, you know, as. though you're a private citizen and a. regular voter. You're paying the same. high prices and food and gas as the rest. of us are. Diesel is an all-time high. Um, as someone who is there at the. convention as a voter, um, obviously.
you're not an undecided voter, but what. do you want to hear? And do you think. your party will offer up a remedy for. prices here in the next couple days? >> Well, there's no doubt. But let's talk. about prices for a second. I really. appreciate you bringing that up. Under. the last administration, under the Biden. team, the cost of food went up almost. 25% on average. So, you had a lot of. food go up higher than that. A lot go, you know, a little bit under that, but. all of it went up in a significant. amount. Over the last two years, we've.
seen a lot of proteins come down, dairies down 17%, cheese is down, fruits. and veggies are down. >> Then you had Janine Piro, the top United. States attorney in Washington DC. She. held a press conference, I kid you not, on crypto scams and going after crypto. scams. I you may want to look at the. White House as the biggest crypto. scammer that there is in my opinion. You. may want to look at the Trump NFTts and.
the Trump meme tokens and the rug pulled. by Trump and Melania. They did it the. biggest I think maybe in history. They. She always says he's the biggest. I. think it was one of the big my opinion. You could share your own opinion. That. was one of the biggest scams in history. But this is what Janine Piro was talking. about this morning. While gas is. approaching $5 a gallon for most. Americans. It's probably higher where. you live as diesels already $6 or more a. gallon for most people here in the.
United States. The price per barrel of. oil right now $101 and by the end of. today it'll probably be what? 105 106. Um but this is what they're talking. about. Trump the crypto scammer is. having his so-called United States. attorney go after crypto scammers. Okay, sounds good. Here, play this clip. But. the president is very much aware of the. scams and cryptocurrency fraud that is. being literally uh uh imposed upon. Americans and he is well aware of the. dangers to Americans and you might want.
to speak to him about that. Thank you. No. Oh, >> and then reporters just wanted to ask. her questions about, "So, what's going. on with the reflecting pool?" And she. refused to answer any questions. Really? Now, you don't want to talk about that. You hold a press conference and you. refuse to answer questions. Question. about the reflecting pool. No, no, no, no, no. How many times do I have to say. no? I'm not talking about that. Okay. Well, that's why why hold the press.
conference if you don't want to answer. questions. Here, play this clip. >> No. >> No. And no. Who wants to know about. this? >> How many times do I have to say no? >> I am not talking about that. Anyone want. to talk about this case? >> Oh, of course. >> Um, here was another question. Another. question on the reflecting pool. No, I'm. not going there. I'm refusing to answer. any questions here. Watch what she says.
over here. >> No, I'm not going there. Don't even go. there. That's why I didn't call you. You. and I have this relationship and I'm not. going there. Anyone else? Yes, sir. >> Meanwhile, you have Donald Trump. bootlicking sick offense like Arkansas. Governor Sarah Huckabe Sanders. She. signaled that the state of Arkansas is. going to block public contracts with any. company that now complies with the. United Kingdom's newlyannounced ban on.
trade with Israeli settlements. Her. father, US Ambassador Mike Huckabe, warned of a huge economic impact on. British firms across multiple states for. complying with the UK ban that covers. settlement, imports, and services like. construction, financing, and real estate. at the unlawful settlements. That's what. UK did, and it won't take effect for 6.
to9 months. No companies have actually. been cut off yet. But this is what's. being pushed by the MAGA Republican. governors. This is how they want to. improve America with stuff like this. And this is what Huckabe Sanders says. It's simple. Boycotting the world's only. Jewish state is anti-semitism. She says. Arkansas law. Arkansas law. Arkansas law. supports the Israeli unlawful. settlements. What? What? What are you. talking? Arkansas law makes it clear. We. don't do business with any company that.
deliberately chooses to engage in BDS. activities. Period. And Mark Leavan over. at Fox, the neocon wararmonger, goes, "So now our states can boycott the UK.". Close to 40 states across the US have. laws requiring ending contracts with or. investing in companies that engage in an. anti-semitic boy. How is it an. anti-semitic boycott? These are unlawful. settlements that shouldn't exist. We see. the images of what's going on. And now. you want to go after US companies. That's why I say these Trump regime are.
the authoritarian communists. They take. stakes in companies. They don't they go. after companies. They don't support they. don't they don't support commerce unless. it goes through the White House. It is. as bad as it gets. Also, a few other. things to note as well throughout the. world right now. Um one of Iran's. lawmakers also say, "Trump, you're. creating World War II in the Middle East. as well right now." Uh this is being. reported. Middle East on the brink of. World War II warns Iranian lawmaker. among escalating tensions. Um Yemen's.
Ansarala, the Houthis say that in the. past 12 hours, Saudi Arabia conducted 48. air strikes targeting the Yemeni. provinces using F-15 fighter jets from. King Khaled air base. Uh typhoons from. King Fa air base. Quote, "These raids. and the ongoing aggression against our. country will not go unpunished." and. immediately onsala the Houthis launch. counter strikes against Saudi Arabia's. Kamis Mushat and Abba areas following uh.
the attacks on the Houthi areas and. things are certainly heating up there. Also fighting between I should say. Israel destroying uh southern Lebanon. continued. Israel strikes have killed at. least 28 people and wounded 79 since. Saturday in southern Lebanon. Israel. claims that it's targeting Hezbollah. there, but as we've seen, they've been. killing lots of innocent people uh in. the area, and they've been killing lots. of children in Gaza, continuing to kill.
lots of children in Gaza. Um Lebanon, Lebanese officials have urged Washington. and the international community to. intervene and prevent further. escalation. Intervene, Washington. Really? The United States has run out of. weapons. The United States standing in. the world has been utterly destroyed. The US goes around with Witoff and. Kushner Dumb and Dumber claiming deals, deals, deals, and they are just a bunch. of con artists. The whole world sees the.
weakness for what it is. It's not. weakness masquerading as strength. It's. weakness masquerading as weakness. Uh. Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavro, knows it. UK's foreign minister, Ed. Miban, knows it. Iran's foreign minister. Arachi knows it. China's foreign. minister Wangi knows it. Kim Jong-un. knows it. The president of the European. Union Ursula Commission Ursula. Vanderline knows it. Prime Minister. Carney know the whole world knows that. not only is the United States not.
reliable and deeply unpredictable and. chaotic under the Trump regime, but they. see how utterly weak and pathetic he is. And it's really it's a sad sight to. watch the destruction of the United. States before our very eyes living here. in the United States. But this is what. Donald Trump has done his whole life. Why would the loser who's bankrupt to. things act differently? He's a sexual. predator. He's a felon. He's a loser. And this is how he's behaving. Look, we're going and he's destroying the. United States just like all of his Trump.
companies. Just like the casinos, just. like all the things he's bankrupted, just like his crypto and his meme coins, right? All right.
