Transcript of Trump Finally Surfaces and It Gets Ugly!

Oof, Donald Trump is lashing out this morning like the lunatic that he is as everything is falling apart. It's been post after post like this: The fake polls used by our crooked media are out of control and something must be done about it! FCC to the rescue! DJT! Then he attacks Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Kristen Welker, the unpopular hostess of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has mixed results on his endorsements of candidates. Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. Unfortunately, she is not the only one. The radical left news is going out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything Trump. By the way, I watched Meet the Press this morning in order to prepare these videos and just to see what was being discussed. She never brought that up once. You're going to report her for punishment, folks. We have a lunatic and psycho in the Oval Office. Donald Trump is sending his top propagandists out on state regime media Fox this morning. MAGA Republican Congressmember Tom Emmer just went on Fox.

Here's what he said about the polling data and why he believes the American people have the lowest consumer confidence in the history of the United States. He says it's all a media conspiracy against Donald Trump. Here, play this clip.

What do you expect the public to feel when the left-wing media is writing articles on a regular basis and telling the American people it's not good out there? It is. Wages are rising faster than they have risen in decades, and they are keeping up. The feeling, though, based on all of the information they're getting, is, well, it's not that great.

Really?

Their spending is up. Their spending is up. Their wages are up. I think we've gotta do a really good job down the stretch of emphasizing that. And I think the American people, they recognize, they're smarter than Washington and these left-wing media types. They understand this is an election about common sense, which is Donald Trump and Republicans, and crazy insanity, which is our colleagues on the other side of the aisle.

Yeah, we were talking—

He's then asked on state regime media, well, you guys have been in control now of all branches of government, and the debt just increased over $40 trillion. I want you to watch what Emmer says in response here. Play this clip.

The American people are looking at a headline that's a little disconcerting, and that's the nation's debt. We surpassed $40 trillion. So in any way, shape, or form, is fiscal restraint going to be on the agenda for you and your colleagues?

It has been. You understand this didn't happen overnight, Cheryl. This has been going on for decades, and it's been an irresponsible handling of the funds, I would argue, for decades. And the president, Donald Trump, and House Republicans are absolutely committed, as I believe our Senate colleagues are too, to reducing that debt and the deficit. And I think that will be priority number one once we get through these midterms. We already had a record amount that we cut. Unfortunately, it's like spit on a hot tar road in the middle of July, Cheryl. There's so much that we have yet to do. There's only one party, by the way, that's going to, and that is Donald J. Trump. And Republicans in the House and the Senate are the only ones that are going to make sure that this great republic continues for the benefit of our children and grandchildren.

You know, so look, Donald Trump's responsible for like 30% of the entire national debt that we have. I mean, he was in office, sadly, years ago. He's been in office again. And the MAGA Republicans have been the biggest fiscal disaster imaginable. Just so you can see what Kristen Welker was actually talking about. Now, I'm no Kristen Welker fan. I think she both sides a lot of issues, but she had Ted Cruz on this morning. And she was asking Cruz, so have our military objectives in Iran been met? Like, you claim that we've achieved victory and Donald Trump's calling it this mission accomplished. So why not send our troops home? Here's what Ted Cruz says. And again, it's just, just complete lies. And he's just— you could see, you could see the lie form on live TV here. Play this clip.

American boots on the ground, but the Iranian people Senator, I hear you arguing that military objectives have been achieved. If that's the case, why can't the troops come home? There are still some 50,000 troops there.

Well, but the troops are not— active combat operations have largely ceased. There are occasional skirmishes, but, but the active military conflict has reduced significantly. The major operation now is the blockade. The blockade is imposing economic sanctions. And every day that, that pressure on the regime grows, I think—

Donald Trump then this morning continuing to attack Canada. He posted this deranged message. Christian leaders are urging Trump to create legal pathways for Jewish Canadians facing antisemitism. Like, there's so much to unpack right there. So, but, but that's how you're attacking Canada. As though Canada is this horrible place. I mean, it's again deranged lunatic behavior. He then reposted again, the fake polls by our crooked media are out of control. He's been posting this over and over again this morning. By the way, this post on his social media platform posted an ad which he obviously gets paid for these ads. It's his social media platform. Trump $1,000 bills. being given away free for Truth Social users. Hurry, there's only 71 left. So if you want to pay for a fake Trump $1,000 bill, you can pretend you're going to get it for free. Again, utter, utter lunatic. And here you have the premier of Ontario, of Ontario, Doug Ford. He calls Donald Trump out and says, you know, this behavior is like something you'd see on Saturday Night, Saturday Night Live. Like, what in the world is even going on with you, America? He's like, it's sad.

We love America. in Canada, but like, this is like embarrassing for you, bud. Here, play this clip.

I don't see the purpose. It's absolutely backwards. It was like something out of Saturday Night Live when he signed a document saying change to Lake America. It's— no one's gonna call it Lake of America. It's been Lake Ontario for hundreds of years. It's gonna continue being Lake Ontario. And it's just so, so disappointing because I love the US. I love the American people. Canadians love the American people. American people. We differentiate between the great American people, uh, and the president.

So then Donald Trump, uh, rolling out his new Ponzi scheme that I've been talking about a lot. Um, he writes the following: one of the things I'm going to do with the Venezuelan oil is fill up the Strategic National Reserves because Sleepy Joe Biden, it's been virtually emptied. The topping out process will begin very shortly. And is a gift from Venezuela to the people of the United States. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump. So again, he blames the strategic reserves, uh, being depleted on Biden as though we're all just a bunch of idiots, right? It's like you did a catastrophic and unlawful war that caused the crisis that we're in. Biden hasn't been in office for 2 years. Biden did use Strategic Petroleum Reserves, but then replenished it and made a profit for the United States. You have put us into this crisis that we're in right now. And it's why I've been talking about this Venezuela fraud deal now for a very long time. I've been covering it a lot, right? Because I want to show you what the scam is going to be. See what he's saying right here? He's like, with all of this oil and this deal that I just cut We're gonna be able to solve the American gas crisis right now, where your oil prices are surging, the price of diesel is surging.

We have our strategic petroleum reserves depleted, but I just did a deal for 65 billion barrels of oil in Venezuela. Businesses— I'm not gonna tell you which ones, but they're gonna invest $100 billion in Venezuela. It's going to generate 220,000 jobs. Billion dollars in revenue for Venezuela. So it's going to be good for them as well. And so then I say, show me where the deal is. Show me the paperwork. Who's involved in the deal? And the more you dig into it, the more you realize it's a fraudulent deal. The whole thing is phony. It's illegal, even if it was actually going to happen in the sense that the US would require congressional authority for this. And Venezuela has laws against this. Also, if it were to happen, you would need to build out the infrastructure in order to eventually refine this potential oil reserves that exist in Venezuela. It's not like extracted. You can't just take it and put it in our strategic reserves right now. The crude in Venezuela is sour. It's sticky. It's viscous. It's dense. It's hard to refine. There's a reason why our oil industry execs— I'm not fans of them to say, but they've said it's uninvestable by and large, both because of the government there in Venezuela.

It's the authoritarian Chavista Maduro regime that's still in power there, which didn't we recently say these are narcoterrorists and traffickers and they're aiding and abetting, and that's why Trump had to invade? Oh, it was just about stealing the oil from them. But also it's difficult to refine this oil and it will cost lots of CapEx expenditures. It will be very expensive to build, and that's not going to solve the problem that Americans are facing right now. They can't afford gas right now. They can't afford diesel right now. Everything's more expensive because of Donald Trump's catastrophic war. So this is all a massive scam. Also, when you read some of the details, according to the Wall Street Journal, the financing mechanism for the Venezuelan oil deal is the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital, brought in late in the process after the State Department needed a vehicle to structure the deal. OSC's authority runs to loans and guarantees for critical industries. And unlike the Development Finance Corp., OSC has no explicit statutory authority to take direct equity stakes. So if that holds up, what's the legal basis for the Pentagon, for Hegseth owning a piece of a private company sitting on a fifth of Venezuela's oil reserves?

Then responding to Reuters' request for comment, Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Office of Strategic Capital, OSC, does not take equity stakes in private companies under its statutory authority. OSC's role is strictly limited to providing capital assistance in the form of a loan. So what the hell is this then? It's just yet another Trump fraud deal to manipulate the markets. Don't you all see it? And it's not working. Prices are up. Even Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who Donald Trump basically caused Cornyn to lose his job. And Trump endorsed Ken Paxton, the ultra-corrupt MAGA extremist who's now running, uh, against James Talarico, the Democratic candidate. A new poll finds that Trump's tariffs are unpopular in Texas, especially among Hispanics, by huge margins right there. Of course that's going to be the case. By the way, it's why we need to get our news from accurate sources. And I just note the following: Take a look at these 2 articles: The Canada-US Trade War and What Happens When Brinksmanship Blows Up. And it talks about the devastating economic impacts caused by Trump attacking Canada with this trade war. It's being covered nowhere in the, in the, in the right-wing media, or even nowhere in the center media, you know, is— or the so-called center is covering it as well.

It's being covered exclusively on the left. But then you get a story like this: Trump calls International Space Station during visit to NASA Mission Control Center. Just like pure propaganda. And by the way, if you watch that on the Midas Touch Network, Donald Trump didn't know how to use a phone. He held the phone like 5 feet away from him, and he had Natalie, uh, was right behind him right there. And he was saying deranged things to the astronauts about how he conquered Venezuela. And how the Space Force is being used to commit these war crimes. And so I just want to show you there, like, what's being reported out there. It's why I use Ground News. It's why I partnered with Ground News for this episode. They're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting. Ground News is an app and a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by the story to show you how's it being covered on the left, how's it being covered on the center, how's it being covered on the right, like I just shared with you right there.

It's got a great color-coded layout to make it easy to see how the political bias is being demonstrated in the different sources. On this article I just showed you, for example, what was being covered on the left and how right-wing was covering Donald Trump calls the International Space Station. Look, I believe in Ground News so much we're offering you 40% off the same Vantage plan that I use for my research. Just go click the link in the description or go to ground.news/davidpakmanshow. /MTN or scan the QR code up here. It's one of the biggest discounts they've ever offered. If you want to support the channel and get a clearer understanding of the world, try out Ground News. That's ground.news/MTN. I like their feature also where they tell you if the source is corporate-owned or independent media-owned as well. So anyway, go check that out. Um, I think this is an important thing to be discussing. I'm gonna do a whole other video on this So keep checking back on the YouTube feed because, you know, I've been covering this for a very long time. But The Washington Post out with a blockbuster report. Military leaders warn Hegseth against extending Iran war operations.

Leaders of the U.S. European Command, the U.S. Pacific Command, and U.S. Southern Command, along with the Navy's top admiral, responded with what it has characterized in an SDOB as a non-concur, those familiar with the assessment said, meaning they disagree with the secretary's orders to extend their forces. They will execute it, but they disagree with the orders. So you have Admiral Caudle, General Grinkovich, General Donovan, General Paparo, and they all put in this SDOB, the Secretary of Defense Orders Book, a very rare non-concur, that they don't agree with these orders. They don't think they're right. It's going to hurt their troops and going to cause massive, massive problems. But what say you, Ted Cruz? Because Donald Trump's out there saying mission accomplished, that this was all great. Ted Cruz, this is what Ted Cruz said on Meet the Press. Let's play it.

Let's talk about the war with Iran, which, as I said, has now hit its 6-month mark this week. It's notable because President Trump said the war would only last a few weeks. He posted this image of himself, Senator, declaring, quote, mission accomplished. You see it right there in the bottom right-hand corner. Senator, do you agree with President Trump that it's mission accomplished in Iran?

Well, listen, I think there are multiple missions. If you look at the initial mission that the Trump administration laid out, which is to degrade and eliminate Iran's military capacity, then I think the answer is unequivocally military objectives have been achieved? Technically, yes. If you look at their ballistic missile supply is almost entirely destroyed. Their drone supply is almost entirely destroyed. Their drone and ballistic missile manufacturing capability has been leveled to the ground. Their, their Air Force is in rubble on the runway. Their Navy is sunken at the bottom of the ocean. Much of their senior leadership has been eliminated. So in terms of military objectives, I think that is correct. at the objective of imposing economic harm right now with the blockade that we are holding on Iran. Iran is, is, is facing $500 million a day of economic costs. That is enormous cost that is ratcheting up. The economy is in freefall. Now, I would like to see the longer-term objection— objective be regime collapse. The ayatollah.

And then you had Tom Homan, the fascist head of ICE, or the, or the border czar, but he oversees ICE and Border Patrol and all that. He's the border czar is what they call him. So he was asked by Dana Bash, so Democratic Senator Chris Murphy says that ICE is targeting parents sitting at school bus stops to terrorize little kids. Is that happening? And you'll see Tom Homan doesn't deny it. He goes, well, they're not here legally. Then we've got to deport them if they're not here legally. Then we're not trying to terrorize the kids, but, you know, that's what happens if they're there. We're going to terrorize them. Why would they be terrorized if we take their parents and we grab them and we beat them up in front of the kids? Again, these people are lunatics. These people remind me, in my opinion, of the SS, of the Gestapo, of the Brownshirts. These are sick people. And watch the banality of evil, as it's been said. Watch him here. Play this clip.

Turn to what's being reported in Connecticut. Senator Chris Murphy said ICE officers targeted parents at school bus stops this week. He said, quote, in Danbury, they are just targeting parents sitting at school bus stops just to terrorize little kids. Are ICE officers detaining parents at school bus stops?

ICE isn't in the business of terrorizing children. That's just political fire. ICE is out there enforcing law that was enacted by Congress. Then we arrest illegal aliens. Are some parents? I'm sure many are, but we're not out there to terrorize children. We're out there to look for illegal aliens with final orders of removal, those who overstayed, those that are criminals, and we're out there looking for them and arresting them. ICE has no intention of terrorizing children.

More from Tom Homan right here, and he's asked, I think, a good question by Dana Bash. So you all released these videos of Haitians who were working here in the United States. They were under temporary protected status, not criminals. They built businesses, they had families here, they contributed to the economy, they paid taxes. And so you've revoked their TPS status. So it's going to harm the U.S. economy, too. And you sent them back to Haiti where they will likely die pretty soon. They're probably going to get killed. So you're sending these people to their death in Haiti because we know the conditions on the ground. We know even what the State Department has said the conditions on the ground right now in Haiti are. And if you send these people who have been living in America into Haiti, they will get killed. And you've sent them there and you made a video glorifying it. So you see any problem with that? Here, let's play this clip.

Department of Homeland Security sent 2 deportation flights to Haiti over the past 2 weeks. Haiti is a country that a Trump administration official this week said is in a dire state, saying that for months terrorist gangs have murdered civilians, terrorized communities, burned homes, and destroyed families. Why is the Trump administration knowingly sending Haitians, including many who've lived in the U.S. legally under temporary protective status into the danger that they describe?

Again, we're returning deportees to their home country. Many times, if the home country don't accept them, we send them to a third country. I'm not in the loop on this specific incident, but again, that's a question for the Department of Homeland Security. But when people are ordered deported, they can't stay here. They're going to go home.

He says like, that's what the American people voted for. People didn't vote for this. People didn't vote for y'all to behave like Nazis. Okay, maybe some people did, um, who— that's what they wanted out of Donald Trump. But the vast majority of Americans, these— frankly, if you're like, well, even if these are criminals, they deserve to be treated with due process, and they're not. These are people who were not criminals. Uh, they were treated— uh, they— these people have built businesses here and they've contributed here, and you've sent them to their deaths, and it is disgusting. But, you know, this is a death cult. We can't normalize this behavior. This is a death cult that you're seeing. I mean, look at Donald Trump's behavior this morning. You know, then they send out Peter Navarro. And so Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump's top advisers, he's— this is one of the things they're talking about this morning. He's sitting in front of placards that read, Dr. Fauci must rot in prison. And the message coming out from one of Donald Trump's top advisers is, COVID wasn't a big deal. The people who died, who cares? It's not a big deal.

So what— why are we even acting like it was a major issue? This is what they're pushing. Again, this is the level of disinformation and craziness they're pushing this morning. Here, let's play this clip.

So, but within, within the 15 days, we found out, well, this is not that infectious. It's not really hitting children much. It's like younger people can deal with it. And the ones who are really at risk are the comorbidities, this, that, and the other thing. And it didn't matter to Fauci. He was gonna put— close all the schools, close all the businesses, lock everybody down.

By the way, Peter, by the way, it wasn't even as deadly as advertised, not even close.

I know you didn't know that at the time, but the reality was if you died in a car accident or a motorcycle accident, or you got murdered, or you committed suicide. Well, let's be clear, Wayne. Wayne, we lost, we lost a million people, okay?

But—

Well, they said we lost—

Most of those people were people with comorbidities. They were older people with, you know, you get it with diabetes or you're obese. Hey, that's gonna kick the crap out of you, okay? Right. You gotta, you But then you're like 20 years old, you're, you're like a college athlete, right?

Right.

And what does Fauci want to do? He wants to give you the freaking vaccine. Next thing you know, your heart's enlarged, you got myocarditis. My point is—

At the Midas Touch Network, we've made this list right here of price increases, July 2025 to July 2026. We looked at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, so we just took the numbers from the Trump regime. I think that they're probably downplaying these numbers, but these are Trump regime numbers. Okay. Just to be very clear. Fuel and oil up 39%. Other motor fuels up 30%. Airline fares up 25%. Regular gasoline up 25%. Mid-grade gasoline 25%. Jewelry up 15%. Instant coffee up 15%. Computer accessories up 21%. Uncooked beef roast up 13%, 13.5%. Video game subscriptions and video games, 13.4%. Postage up 13.3%. Tomatoes, 12.8%. Apples, 11.1%. Watches, 10.6%. I could keep going on, right? I mean, everything's up massively, massively right now. But if you listen to Tom Emmer, that's just, that's just— Left-wing media propaganda.

That's upright.

Okay, I'm literally reading you the statistics from the Trump regime right now. I can keep on reading, but you— we, we all live life, you know. I understand that at Club Mar-a-Lago or the Golden Ballroom they don't have these issues, but like, we all know this to be the case. Hit subscribe, appreciate you. Get your copy of WTF America.
