Donald Trump is delivering a death blow to himself come the midterms in November. It is a sight to behold. And I'm not talking about the death blow that Iran is threatening with Barron, which our Secret Service claims that they are monitoring. I'm talking about Donald Trump saying that he's going to use that MAGA Inc. PAC money that he's grifted with all of those deranged emails he sends. I need you to help me. I need your money right now. Do you still love me? You know, all of those messages, he raised like $400 million. And so the MAGA Republicans are like, who's he gonna spend it on? How is he gonna deploy it? Is he going to help us? Well, Donald Trump has made a decision. Donald Trump plans to buy midterm ads about— drum roll, please— himself. He's going to take ads out that feature him and say how great things are and that Americans are living the golden age and that gas prices are amazing and that we've won the war in Iran and that his trade war against the world has made us richer and that farmers have never been happier and that this is the golden age delivered that he promised when of course we know it is the absolute exact opposite.

00:01:20

And so he has that event September 9th and September 10th in Dallas, Texas, the deranged midterm convention that he wants to hold. And we're hearing more and more, even more than we heard from yesterday from these MAGA Republican Congress members saying we don't want to go anywhere near this thing. It's going to be some bizarre Donald Trump self-immolation exercise where he's going to claim things are amazing. And also, it's during the first week of the NFL, and it's going to be conflicting with all of these football games. Like, what are you doing? And it's like 2 days before 9/11. Like, the timing couldn't be any worse. Like, let me show you the J.D. Vance fundraising email that was sent out yesterday. You can see how desperate MAGA is. So this This is a new RNC fundraising text from J.D. Vance. And it says, if you can't give right now, don't, Natalie. Groceries cost what they cost. But can you answer this for me? And then it gives you a link that asks you for money anyway. But that's an interesting one. If you can't give right now, don't, Natalie. I know the reporter's name is Natalie Allison, although I reflect on the name Natalie there with Donald Trump.

00:02:35

Regardless, if you can't give right now, don't. Groceries are too expensive. Yeah, because of your regime. And so we've been hearing from Trump supporters, 3-time Trump supporters in Iowa and elsewhere who are saying, we're off the Trump train. We hate this guy. Take a listen to what this 3-time Trump voter told MSNOW about why they no longer support Donald Trump. Play this clip. President Trump promised to bring down prices. You voted for him 3 times. Are you disappointed?

00:03:08

Very disappointed.

00:03:08

Very disappointed.

00:03:10

Because the prices haven't gone down.

00:03:13

I don't know.

00:03:13

I don't know.

00:03:14

I just—

00:03:15

I'm over it.

00:03:15

I think over the Trump thing, the Trump wagon, we will call it. You could talk directly to the president about the war, about the prices, about the economy. What would you tell him? Stop the bullshit.

00:03:29

Make America great.

00:03:29

Like you said, that's what I'd say. And here's another video earlier at the Iowa Fair. Play this clip. Tell President Trump right now, resign.

00:03:43

Yeah. That is what I would tell him. Used to be, no matter where you drove, they did it on the corn bales or the hay bales, everything. Trump, Trump, Trump, every place you went, because we are Republican where we're from. You don't see any now. Driving down here is a 3-hour drive for us, and I'll bet you in a course of time we probably saw 30. Different signs stuck in the ground, out in the cornfield, whatever. You don't see any of them.

00:04:14

You know, when you just think about just measles, for example, like that the Trump regime is a super spreader of measles, right? The United States hit 2,777 confirmed measles cases per the CDC, the most in a year in 35 years. And it's only August, so it's gonna get much worse. 2 people died from measles in Pennsylvania. marking the state's first deaths in 35 years. Then you had RFK Jr. reach out to Governor Shapiro and he's like, uh, what are we going to do about it there, Governor Shapiro? And Governor Shapiro— well, I'll just show you what Governor Shapiro said that he told RFK Jr. He's like, this is your fault, man. You came in here and you act like this is, uh, not a serious issue and you tell people not to get vaccinated and you act like measles isn't a big deal, you moron. Watch what Governor Shapiro says. Play this clip.

00:05:14

Part of the reason why I was late is I've been sitting out in the parking lot talking to Secretary Kennedy, who reached out to me this morning. And while I appreciate his willingness to offer staff to assist us, we think we're able to manage this through the Department of Health. I was very, very blunt with him, and I made very clear that his actions and, and the rhetoric that's coming from this administration are having a negative impact on communities across America, particularly right here in Pennsylvania, that there's real-life consequences to spreading misinformation. There's real-life consequences to scaring people and not relying on actual doctors and actual medical professionals to provide unbiased information to parents so that we can make reasonable decisions for our kids. As I said before, look, people are trying to do the best for their kids. They're trying to protect their kids, and the best way our health experts at the federal level and the state level and in a hospital, wonderful hospital like this, the best way those professionals can do their jobs is to provide unbiased, factual information so that parents can make responsible decisions for their children. Sharing conspiracy theories and misinformation does not help the cause of public health, and it leaves people less healthy and less safe, and it leaves parents in a position where it's harder for us to do our jobs to protect our children.

00:06:57

And just so you can see the clip of what RFK Jr. had done in Pennsylvania, you can see he's like, I just— I cure measles with chicken soup. I mean, just shut up with these stupid lies, man. Y'all are a bunch of killers. You're dangerous. You're hateful. You've destroyed the lives of Americans. You've destroyed the lives of farmers. You spread measles and all of these diseases. You're gross. Here, play this clip of RFK.

00:07:22

I got— I am a measles survivor. It was extraordinary. Lucky. Very, very lucky to have lived Through that nightmare because we had to stay at home and watch TV the whole week with all of my brothers and sisters. It was, it was horrible. And, um, oh, what is the cure? What is the cure for measles? Your measles is chicken soup and vitamin A. And neither of those things can be patented.

00:08:03

Now, is it any shock then that a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows just 13% of Americans strongly approve of Trump? It's like the lowest ever in the history of the United States. Only 35% of Republicans approve of Donald Trump, and only 13% of Americans strongly approve. And just, it's just deranged behavior. I mean, you know, they're a bunch of failed reality TV people who are out there thinking that this is some like reality show and we don't want to be non-consensual extras in their dystopian horror reality show. I mean, did you see this clip right here? And this is what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is spending his time doing. He released a reality show on YouTube that like nobody watched at all, uh, except people to mock them. And so you have this former Bravo reality TV star randomly interrupting the conversation. To talk about how great credit card points are. As Henry Burke says, it's bizarre. But like most of the show, once you take a look at the list of corporate sponsors, which are credit card companies and other people who are interested, they're doing like product placement in this deranged YouTube video from the Transportation Department about Sean Duffy's road trip.

00:09:27

And it's like, what are you even doing here? Like, it's not your job as the Transportation Secretary. What the hell do you think this is? The American people are suffering gas and diesels at record highs. You've destroyed our ranchers by bringing in— well, you've destroyed our farmers and ranchers over and over again with so many things, your tariffs against the world, making the input costs much higher, taking away export markets. And now you're undercutting ranchers with beef, mystery frozen beef that's going to be 25% cheaper than what our ranchers are doing. And you're doing these videos and then you don't say, who the deal— who the deal is with. I mean, did you see this? This was Brooke Rollins, uh, earlier in the day. Here, play this clip.

00:10:12

The president is the champion of all Americans. Ranchers, farmers, of course, are my, my world, and I'm very focused on that. But the conversations I've had with him is that, you know, we inherited an impossible situation. We inherited the lowest herd on record, cattle herd. The beef that we're eating today were cattle that were born under the Biden administration. Like, this is a— this is not eggs, right? You can't, you can't hatch a chicken and have them laying eggs in a couple months. It takes years to rebuild the herd. The president made the decision that for a short 90 days, uh, there's a lot of ground beef. This is just ground beef. There's a lot of ground beef that's sitting in other countries that would potentially help serve Americans, especially lower-income Americans who really lean into lean into the lean ground beef.

00:11:01

And, uh, and then it's just manipulation of the market, uh, over the wire. US-Iran ceasefire reportedly nears. The US and Iran have reportedly reached a ceasefire agreement with an announcement expected in the coming days, according to RIA Novosti. A Russian network is saying that Pakistani and Iranian military sources say it's super serious this time, everybody. that there's going to be a deal. No, that's not what's gonna happen. Iran and Oman did a deal, which they confirmed yesterday regarding the Strait of Hormuz. But Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Gharbabadi made it clear, we are still in a state of war and the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed. Why should we always wait for America to attack? We can take preemptive action if we want to as well. By the way, remember the Pakistani mediators, right? They're like, pay up, Donald. Pakistan formally requested a $10 billion currency stabilization facility From the US Treasury, the largest such ask in the country's history. The request follows Pakistan being the mediator over here. And so it's like, pay up, Donald, we want our money right now. So what, we're going to bail out Pakistan after bailing out the yen, after bailing out Argentina, and then bringing in what, Argentina beef in order to undercut our ranchers here?

00:12:23

I mean, again, this entire regime is so deranged. While We attack South Korea, prop up Kim Jong-un, send our CIA to meet with Putin, uh, become bootlickers to Xi Jinping, brag about how Xi Jinping's visiting Donald Trump. No wonder in South Korea a Pew survey finds 55% of South Koreans now view the US unfavorably, up from 39% last year. So overwhelmingly viewing the United States as negative. And then Donald Trump attacking Canada saying over the last 10 years, the United States lost $60 billion, which just isn't true. It's just moronic. I've debunked this every single damn day. But let me show you what they're selling under Donald Trump's posts. This is from the president of the United States. How utterly humiliating. $1,000 bills being given away free for Truth Social users. Hurry, only 71 left. Do you want your Trump $1,000 bill? Do you want to pay real dollars to buy a fake $1,000 bill with Trump's face on it? And there's 71 left, which, you know, is probably a lie. And he's selling that on his social media platform while attacking our closest ally, Canada, which he's now alienated, right? That's why the book that I wrote with my brothers is called WTF America.

00:13:47

It used to be sitting on there.

00:13:48

I don't know where it went.

00:13:49
