Transcript of Trump Attacks Zelensky and Praises Putin as Russia Oil Deal Draws Scrutiny New

Impeach him now. Try him for high treason. He is a traitor. And we all know that about Donald Trump. It is a regime of traitors. Look, I can easily show us him ranting and raving like a lunatic all night, late at night, making social media posts where he says that his approval is at 99%. Literally a post he made, 99% approval rating. Look, we know he is a fraud and a lunatic. I can show you the videos of Natalie Harp in the Qatari Air Force One with him and Marine One, doing whatever the hell they're doing together while they're posting this lunatic stuff. But as I started out with this video, this is a treasonous individual. This is a traitor. And we need to speak with moral clarity right now. as he gets more and more desperate as the midterms are approaching. And everything that he envisioned was going to happen in these past 2 years didn't happen because we the people, because you stood up and resisted. You stood strong and did not break as they threw the entire Project 2025 playbook to destroy you. Institutions broke. Some of the people who you may have looked up to betrayed you, right?

But at the end of the corporate media, they get an F minus. But you, we the people stood up to this Trump regime. And so now it's just full mask off. But we knew this before. We knew that Trump is a Putin bootlicker, a Xi Jinping bootlicker. So it's no surprise that when Donald Trump landed back in Washington, DC yesterday after that deranged trip from Tennessee, and as he was traveling, he was ranting and raving about his hatred of Zelensky, how Putin does everything right, right? Earlier in the day yesterday, Donald Trump said Zelensky should no longer be the president of Ukraine. I want to deal with a new president of Ukraine who will do a deal with me where we can give Putin all of eastern Ukraine. That's what I want. He shouldn't be the president anymore. A spoiled treasonous traitor brat, lunatic psycho who can't even speak in coherent sentences. This is what he looked like last night as he was leaving that deranged rally at Tennessee. And Donald Trump was like, Zelensky could have solved this war. He could have solved it. This is what he was saying last night. Let's play it.

Because you can't hold elections while Ukraine is at war.

Well, I think he should have an election and he could have settled this thing many times and he should have an election. And he can't raise the price of oil. He's done enough. This is a war that should have never happened. Ukraine-Russia should have never happened. If I were president, it never would have happened. But President Zelensky could have solved this war, or he could have, he could have made a deal many times. I've been there many times.

And then he's like, Putin did everything we wanted. Putin wants peace. Putin wants a settlement. And it's that Zelensky. It's that Zelensky who keeps on striking the refineries in Russia. And I told him to stop it. And why is he not listening to me? Listen to what Trump said last night. Play this clip.

Are you gonna send Jared Kushner and Steve Wittkopf to Moscow to talk to Putin again? Well, I think that Russia would like to make a deal. And we've had it back and forth, but Russia would like to make a deal. But as I said, this is something that could have been solved many times, but for whatever reason, Zelensky does not want to make a deal. And if you look at the odds, you know, you're talking about millions more soldiers on one side than the other. I think it would have been smart if he would have made a deal 2 years ago. It would have been a lot— he would have been a lot better off. He could have made a much better deal 2 years ago. What did President What did Putin tell you on the phone call the other day? He'd like to see a settlement. President Putin would like to see a settlement strongly. And look, he's, he's freeing up a lot of oil for the world. Okay. That's a good thing. And by the way, at a very low price.

Are you surprised that Democrats have embraced social— Also, when Donald Trump was at that rally in Tennessee, you've seen the viral clip by now, I'm sure, from our other video. Where Trump says, you'll just— he tells the cult, it was a small cult crowd in Tennessee, and he was like, you'll just clap at whatever. I could say the stupidest things to you and you'll just clap, right? Whatever I say. Here, play this clip.

No, it's true. No, there's such love. It's like, like I mean, it's amazing when you stand up here. It's just like the love. I could say the stupidest things and you clap. You know, I love you. So that's true. But we don't say the stupidest things. We say things of common sense.

And as Donald Trump was saying how Iran has no military and they're begging for a deal and all the usual psychotic crap that he says, Again, Iran was striking more tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. They struck another VLCC, very large crude carrier, saw a major oil spill over there. Earlier in the day yesterday, a tanker struck an IRGC mine. You know how Trump and CENTCOM are like, we've gotten rid of all of the mines? No, you didn't. Another tanker struck one and it was destroyed. I'll do a video in a little bit about what those scenes look like.

I'll show you—

let me just show you one of the scenes inside one of these tankers that was struck by the IRGC so you can see for yourself. Here, play this clip. You know, also yesterday Ansar Allah, also goes by the name the Houthis, they struck Terminal 3 in the Riyadh main airport, the King Khalid Airport it's called. There were multiple people killed, 12 people killed, about 309 people injured. An American was killed, 2 Bangladeshi, 4 Saudi nationals, an Egyptian, a Jordanian, a Syrian, a Palestinian, Sudanese, and others were killed in this strike. Ansar Allah had said to Riyadh, shut down the airport. As long as you're shutting down the Sana'a airport, we're going to attack the King Khalid Airport in Riyadh. And they did. And there are horrific, horrific consequences that we are seeing. This is what we know about too. But just think about what the Trump regime is doing throughout the world. So as Seth Harp says, active duty US Army Special Forces soldiers are stationed in the Congo. Not exactly sure what they're doing there. But no doubt it's something good and noble that all Americans would support. if they knew the grisly details and the power players who are benefiting.

So what we learned— he's being sarcastic, of course. And you may remember Seth Harp's book about special forces doing narco-trafficking. Um, he wrote it a little while ago. Um, but here's what we're learning. Blackwater founder Erik Prince's force were ambushed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving 20 people dead or injured, including former UFC fighter and Green Beret Ted Kennedy, according to Reuters. Vectis Global, headed by Prince, has reportedly been operating in Congo. And you know, the Trump regime has forces across the world, whether it's with these mercenary contracts or whether it's with our actual military forces. I mean, all throughout South America, as Trump has propped up these dictators who, in my opinion, are actually connected at the highest level to some of the narco-trafficking, as Trump Kills in war crimes these fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela and says those are the narco-traffickers, where there's no evidence that there's even drugs in these fishing boats, yet alone like fentanyl or cocaine or anything like that. Like, there's never been any evidence that we've been presented with that shows that. What we've actually seen is the contrary— evidence that there's not cocaine or fentanyl in these fishing boats, and that it's not even a prerequisite to target the fishing boat that you actually believe there are drugs drugs in the boat themselves.

So while the Trump regime is doing that, they're hoisting up regimes in South America that are close to the narcotraffickers. And the Trump regime is working with people to kidnap independent prosecutors who are prosecuting narcotrafficking and prosecuting people who are involved in the highest level of corruption, the type of people who the Trump regime and Donald Trump ultimately pardoned. I mean, not to mention Donald Trump's attacks to destroy the ICC. It's one thing not to be a member of the ICC, the International Criminal Court, though I think we should be a member. That's my opinion. But to say the ICC is a terroristic organization that should be subject to the biggest sanctions that the US has at its disposal while the Trump regime lifts the sanctions against Russia, despite the United States Congress just passing the Lindsey Graham Sanctions Act to do more sanctions against Russia and countries that buy diesel and other products from Russia, despite the fact that there was a 2022 law, the Non-Importation of Russian Oil Act, basically, which says that if you're going to start importing any Russian oil, any Russian diesel, or any other Russian products, you have to provide a certification to Congress under penalty of perjury that the war with Ukraine is over and Russia no longer poses a threat to NATO, or else importing Russian diesel is unlawful.

And then there's another law that Trump passed, CAATSA, in 2017 during his first administration, which says that if you're going to do any material change in the trade relationship with Russia, you have to submit it to Congress. And there's a 30-day period where Congress can respond to block it. That was a Trump law about sanctions in 2017 against Russia, North Korea, and Iran. So Donald Trump importing the diesel violates the 2017 law, the 2022 law, and obviously, although it doesn't directly violate the 20—

2018 law.

26, the Lindsey Graham Sanctions Act. In theory, the Trump regime should be sanctioning itself with secondary sanctions for violating the Lindsey Graham, uh, Sanctions Act right there. But I'll say this, while the despicable and disgusting right-wing fascist Supreme Court has given Donald Trump absolute immunity, you know who doesn't have absolute immunity? Uh, the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol. So if Russia brings these— this diesel in and Customs and Border Patrol takes it. I mean, my view right now is that the Treasury Secretary OFAC office that gave Russia the general license to ship the diesel, that's a criminal act. That's high treason, by the way, in my opinion. You could disagree. To me, Bessant could be found criminally liable. I'm giving you my opinion protected by the First Amendment because my legal analysis may vary from you. I'm just giving you my opinion, opinion speech protected by the First Amendment. I believe it's treason and he could be criminally charged in a future administration. And anybody other than— to me, Trump should be tried. That's why I said any— this is what I said— any future Democratic president, anyone who's running, should make a promise and a guarantee on day one: you turn Trump over to The Hague, you turn Hegseth over to The Hague, you turn anybody in the chain of command involved in war crimes, you turn them over to The Hague for war prosecution, and you immediately change the Constitution or you pass a law.

I would say pass a law that overrides the absolute immunity that's given to presidents or former presidents. And then you criminally prosecute Donald Trump for the highest of treason, because that's what it is right now. And then just look at what the Justice Department's focused on right now, right? They're taking legal advice from right-wing extremist Laura Loomer. Laura Loomer posts, how come the DOJ hasn't filed an antitrust lawsuit against the fake news media outlets that just colluded to refuse to cover President Trump. Maybe because a Democrat named Stanley Woodward runs the antitrust division at the DOJ. So many wins the president could have get ruined by the many incompetent people who have been placed in positions of power in his administration. So last night we learned the following. The Justice Department is now investigating 5 networks for possible antitrust violations After they suspended the White House TV pool last month. It's an interesting telling of events. The Trump regime unlawfully prohibited certain media outlets— MSNOW, CNN, and Politico— from covering Trump in the White House. It was deemed unlawful by a federal judge who Trump appointed. So the other media outlets said, as long as you're engaged in criminal conduct, you're involved in unlawful prohibition of media covering the White House, we're not going to be the pool camera.

You could use state regime media Newsmax or use Breitbart or, you know, one of your right-wing propagandists to be your pool camera, but we're not going to do it because we don't want to be complicit in an unlawful prohibition On CNN, MSNBC, and Politico. So now the Trump regime is saying— and by the way, to me, this would include state regime media Fox because they were part of the boycott along with ABC. They just said, we're not going to be your pool camera. Get another pool camera. We won't do it as long as you're involved in the unlawful act against CNN, MSNBC, and Politico. And now the Trump regime is saying that's an antitrust violation. So these massive mergers, the Trump regime says that's not antitrust. The Trump regime wants to now get involved in setting the salaries of college players. That's one of their big obsessions because they think college athletes are making too much money. So they want to create communism. They want to do their own— they want to do their own system. They think that's the biggest issue, capping college athlete money after a 9-0 decision by the Supreme Court. 9 to 0 in 2021 in a case called Alston that said the NCAA was operating as an antitrust violation.

But the Trump regime wants to collude there. The Trump regime wants to collude with everything. But over here, they're like, this is where we're going to use antitrust enforcement to go after the media networks for not being your pool camera. Do you realize how much that beclowns the DOJ? But all these fools, they're all such clowns. I mean, Treasury Secretary Bessent leaked his letter to state regime media Fox that he sent to Senator Elizabeth Warren. As we wrote on the Midas Touch Network, Scott Bessent is the walking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Borrowing costs are surging, and his response to Senator Elizabeth Warren asking why is a for-dummies insult. Has any Treasury Secretary been this wrong? This smug and this much of a failure. So state regime media Fox goes, Fox Business obtained the response from Treasury Secretary Bessent to the latest request for information from Senator Elizabeth Warren. The senator has sent more than 100 letters to the Treasury asking for information in the past 21 months. The secretary, snarky at times, referring to Bessent in the response, saying, rather than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, comics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department.

He goes on to say, in the letter, the senator accuses the Treasury Secretary of— in the letter, the senator accuses the Treasury Secretary of increased costs, saying the surge in Treasury yields is self-inflicted and follows the Fed's decision to raise the federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point, driven by concerns about inflation. The Treasury Secretary, Bessin, refuted the characterization in his letter, adding, it is difficult to treat your concern as sincere as the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high. You were a cheerleader for the Biden administration. And then he responds by saying, happy Indigenous Peoples' Day in advance to you and your family. I mean, what a despicable scumbag Besant is, right? But here's the thing, Besant's been a loser his whole life. Well, when Besant went on his own and started his own private fund, there were like 90% redemptions because he didn't know what the hell he was doing. He always traded under smarter people who were the real people who knew what they were doing. He was exposed when he went out on his own.

He was a loser. He had a MAGA loser arc. That's how he found Trump. Nowhere near qualified to be the Treasury Secretary. And here he is just saying, oh, you don't know Biden this, Biden that. The reality is, is that you, Bessent, have destroyed— with Trump, have destroyed the bond market right now. That's the reality. You promised 5 or 6% GDP growth. We have anemic GDP growth. We have terrible GDP growth. You promised massive job booms. We have— we don't have that. We have job losses right now. We have, for most Americans, the feeling that we're in a recession or a Great Recession. And sure, I guess your right-wing oligarch guys, you know, in tech may, you know, made a lot of money, but the rest of Americans have been screwed. The bond market has been destroyed. All of your ploys have backfired in your face. You're going to bail out the yen. That failed. You're going to do bond buybacks for $6 billion. That'll fail. It's been failure after failure. So, So I guess I want a little bit of a refresh on this video right now with all of this. Here is, here is Governor Shapiro.

Here's what he had to say yesterday. Let's play it.

Here's another example of the cruelty. Here's another example of the cruelty. They've decided to livestream, to livestream an execution of another human being. That's how they do it in North Korea, not in the United States. We're better than this. We're a kind people, not a cruel people. But unfortunately, Trump takes us to the lowest common denominator every time— chaos and cruelty. How about the corruption that we're seeing from him every day? The kind of corruption that led to him and his spoiled kids putting $2 billion In their pockets.

And more from Governor Shapiro about MAGA Mike Johnson. Let's play this clip.

Do that. And you've got the power to decide what the Congress of the United States looks like. So think about it. You've got the power to help us get more stuff done here in Pennsylvania. And you got the power to decide whether or not Donald Trump will continue to have a rubber stamp in Congress. that guy, what's his name, Steve Johnson or Bill— Mike Johnson. We don't want him anymore. Or whether we're going to have Hakeem Jeffries be a guy who's going to stand up and fight for us with a Congress of the United States that has a real backbone. That's the power you have. And I would argue you've actually got a responsibility here to use it because as Pennsylvanians, We've got—
