Transcript of Trump FULLY CRACKS on SUNDAY… New

Donald Trump began the morning by posting an AI image of Robert De Niro holding up a t-shirt that says, Trump is my president. And then Donald Trump wrote, even this jerk is beginning to get it. This as the American people are suffering on Labor Day. Gas and diesel prices are at historic highs. Donald Trump's approval is at historic lows. Thank God we have the midterms coming up because this behavior is truly insane and dangerous. and frankly, incredibly pathetic. Then Donald Trump posts, Canada's currency dollar imbalance with the US is unacceptable. It has been that way for years, but no longer. DJT. So he continues to attack Canada. Now he's attacking the currency. And then he posts this. Democrats cheat. Why won't they approve voter ID? Proof of citizenship. And then there's an ad attached to it. You want to talk about currency? Donald Trump is still advertising fake currency on his failing social media platform. Trump $1,000 bill is being given away for free. There's only 71 left. All you have to do is click the link, pay Donald Trump some money, and you can be eligible for a fake Trump $1,000 bill. What the hell is going on?

This, as you have Donald Trump's son-in-law and Donald Trump's, like, scumbag real estate friend from the 1980s in Manhattan, Steve Witkoff, they're finally meeting with Zelensky after they met with Putin. By all accounts, the meeting with Putin, I mean, we all saw it. I mean, Witkoff's like, these are the memories that I'm going to take to my heart when I retire, and I'm going to tell everybody about it, Vladimir Putin. Well, Bloomberg reported this morning Putin is not seeking a compromise peace deal at this stage. He wants an agreement that matches Russia's objectives, taking over mostly all of eastern Ukraine. According to these sources close to the Kremlin, Moscow's demands have become more aggressive because Russian leaders believe the battlefield situation is increasingly in their favor as Donald Trump has deprived Zelensky of interceptors. and interceptor licenses. Great work. Great work, Donald. Great work, Witkoff. Great work, Donald Trump's loser son-in-law Jared Kushner. And then this morning, Netanyahu says, the regime in Iran, its end is near. It is weak. It is fighting for its life. It is staggering. There is still a mission to complete that we are determined to carry out. This will ultimately change the face of the Middle East and the course of history.

In other words, continuing to drag Drag the Trump regime in the United States into never-ending wars that no American— we don't want to be in this war in the Middle East. We don't want trade wars with Canada. We just want, like, healthcare, the ability to pay our rent and to afford homes. We want the ability just to live our lives without this freaking madness right now. But Donald Trump posting AI memes of Robert De Niro holding up a shirt Trump is my president. Sickening. Then Donald Trump has his bootlicking sycophants in his cabinet, like Energy Secretary Chris Wright. They go on the various shows this morning and Wright's like, thank God for President Trump's courage to take this on in Iran. We're grateful. We'll pay whatever it takes when it comes to gas.

We'll pay.

It's patriotic. We'll pay whatever it takes for gas and diesel. That's the American way. The hell are you talking about when we don't want any of this? We know we're just taking what on? He's made things worse. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. I shared with everybody the Kepler data recently showing what, 4 or 5 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz. That's it. Listen to what Energy Secretary Wright says. Thank God for President Trump. Sickos. Here, play this clip.

Winning that battle, um, the United States Navy Is, is there, and it sounds like in order to keep even the current flow of oil and tankers through the strait, the U.S. Navy is going to have to stay there. Are you suggesting they're going to have to stay there indefinitely?

Oh, I think we'll see a change in the Iranian regime, or certainly a change in their policy. You know, if they want to become a trading nation again and engage with the world, But they have not lightly given up their nuclear weapons program. Thank God for President Trump's courage to take this on.

Then you had Democratic Congressmember Jamie Raskin, who was asked on Meet the Press, so if Democrats, and when Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, will you be looking into impeachment? And Jamie Raskin says, of course. There's so many things though to focus on though, because every day Donald Trump engages in multiple impeachable offenses, dozens of impeachable offenses. The word impeachment doesn't even do justice, frankly, to the level of criminality that Donald Trump has engaged in. Donald Trump hates the United States of America, and every day him and his despicable regime quite literally work to kill people in the United States, to hurt our armed forces, to hurt our national security. Jamie Raskin. Let's play it.

Do you believe that President Trump has committed impeachable offenses at this point?

Undoubtedly. We don't have time to remotely scratch the surface, but going to war without a declaration of war, for example, continually defying Congress in terms of our appropriation of money, stealing our spending power from us. I mean, I would say even just bulldozing the East Wing of the White House. If you can bulldoze the East Wing, you can bulldoze The West Wing, he believes that he is a king. They've been plundering money from our government in the most massively corrupt presidential administration in American history. I mean, his son-in-law Jared Kushner brought back billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the other corrupt oil monarchies. They are engaged in all kinds of insider political trading. And he, Donald Trump, has made more money in a year and a half as president of the United States than every other president in American history combined. And every member of the House and the Senate have made in our legitimate salaries in this Congress. So nothing comes close to the kind of plunder and corruption we've been seeing in this administration. And all of that could warrant an impeachment investigation if we wanted to do it. But more important to us right now is getting healthcare to the American people and ending the lawlessness.

Okay. Congressman Jamie Raskin, thank you so very much for being here. We really appreciate it.

You bet. Thanks for having me.

All right.

And when we—

Back to Donald Trump's bootlicking, sycophantic Energy Secretary, Chris Wright. Chris Wright is asked on one of these morning shows, so you guys keep on saying there's 18 million barrels coming in and 20 million barrels of oil coming in. And from the satellite footage, it seems that you're not telling the truth. So what's the real number? And then Wright's like, Why would we be lying? What incentive do we have to lie? We're telling you all the truth. Trust us, we're telling you the truth. But notice what he says. I want you to pay attention to what he says. He goes, there's an average of 9 million barrels a day leaving through the Strait of Hormuz. Listen as he says that. And then I want to remind you of this. The other day, Donald Trump claimed there were 18 million barrels per day going through the Strait of Hormuz. Do you remember this graphic Donald Trump posted? Then Trump's stenographer, Barak Ravid, on August 22nd to manipulate the market, said around 16 million barrels of oil moved out of the strait through the southern channel on Friday night. And then on August 28th, 2026, Barack Ravid spoke to Donald Trump and they said that— this is what Trump was quoted as saying to Ravid.

That sucker is open. The Iranian response is very mild. They don't want us to go back at them. That's the whole ballgame. The rest doesn't matter. What we have to understand, and I know you know this by now, every word, sound, syllable, anything out of the mouth of Trump and these cabinet members is a lie. I mean, every, everything, it's, it's a fake world that they make up and it's a fake world that causes us all lots of harm with their lying. Here, play this clip.

Has this, it appears that Secretary Wright is adding up transfers over multiple days into a single day. Said Samir Mondani, co-founder of TankerTrackers.com. He jokingly calls it math magics. So why is there a dispute about the data on what's actually getting through the strait at this point?

It's funny to read or hear that stuff. We know every ship, the name of the ship, what it's carrying, you know, in these convoys we're pushing. So we're not guessing. We're not doing any crazy math. We're just reporting exactly what's going through the southern route through the Strait of Hormuz. So we did indeed get just under 18 million barrels of crude in a 24-hour period earlier last week. And the running average right now is over 9 million barrels a day just on the waterborne routes. There's also the pipeline routes that are taking another 4 or 5. So these are just the facts. These are the numbers. They're not an opinion. There's no math magic. So maybe it's frustrating to the commercial organizations. that they just don't have the insight or they don't have the data on what's actually happening. But why would we be lying?

Well, you know, there are— your critics will say that you want to portray the situation as better in the Strait than it is. But it's true that you would have data that a lot of these organizations wouldn't. They say the proof will be in the pudding as we see the ripple through the markets.

But then, then Chris Wright says either the Iranian regime comes to an end or the Trump regime will end the Iranian regime or Our regime is going to change their policy. Well, at least you're calling yourself a regime now, because that's what the Trump regime is, a dictatorial, authoritarian, and frankly weak and pathetic regime. Here, play this clip.

So this is a losing game for Iran. We wish it would come to an end tomorrow. The Iranian regime, either the regime is going to change or this regime is going to change its policy. One of those 2 things is gonna happen.

So there are others in the region and beyond.

But then Chris Wright has a message for all the American people out there. Why is the price of gas and diesel so high heading into Labor Day? Historic highs. It's Ukraine's fault. It's Biden's fault. That's what it's really about. Ukraine and Biden's policies, not Donald Trump. Again, so utterly pathetic here. Play this clip.

So diesel has been impacted by a lot of factors, but the single biggest one there has been the Ukrainian destruction of Russian refineries. Russia was a meaningful exporter of diesel throughout the last several decades. Today, they've banned any exports of diesel. China has also dramatically throttled back exports of diesel. And in fact, Russia is importing gasoline where they have historically been a net exporter of that. So the refining market has become very tight. The Biden administration closed over a dozen refineries in the United States. Gavin Newsom in California closed 2 significant refineries just in the last 12 months. We, of course, are rowing in the opposite direction.

And then Treasury Secretary Bessent attacks Canada in the oddest of ways, comparing the United States to a German shepherd. that bites a little dog. That's how they refer to Canada right now in the Trump regime. And you have Bessent, who is just so obviously a just weak and pathetic and insecure person. And it is so strange. Does he think— I don't even understand this act that he does here. Just watch Bessent for yourself.

Let's play it.

I want to talk about our neighbors to the north, Canada. President Trump offered Prime Minister Carney what you say was a highly favorable trade agreement that Carney blew up at the last minute. Canada is expected to impose those retaliatory tariffs. How do you see all of this playing out?

Well, you know, Laura, I had a German Shepherd and there was a dachshund that used to antagonize her at the playground. And it kind of reminds me of that. It kind of reminds me of that. And this little yippy dog used to just like bark away. And, you know, for a long time, a 110-pound German Shepherd was ignoring the dachshund. And then one day she'd had enough. And unfortunately, Prime Minister Carney did walk away. They were given the opportunity for a great trade deal and they didn't want it. And it looks like it's for political reasons. But the US, it is Not much of a hit to us, if any, if any, because we're hearing all these stories, inflation, that it is negligible. I would like someone to show me the statistical significance of the Canadian tariffs on US prices, and I'm happy to debate them.

Yeah.

So then MB Ghalibaf, Iran's parliament leader, continues to post these memes of Wile E. Coyote as Besant going off the cliff, chasing the Road Runner, and then posting all of the data points about how the United States is quite literally already basically off the cliff. And we're in for a really difficult September, October, November, as our strategic reserves have hit tank bottom, as the bond markets are going to continue to get way worse, and inflation is continuing to surge. It's why it's important that we have a good media diet and we understand what's going on in the world right now. I'll give you an example right now, an article that just came out. U.S. structured Venezuelan oil position to protect it from dilution, officials say. In other words, this so-called 65 billion barrel oil deal that Donald Trump struck with the authoritarian leader of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, It was done with 4-dimensional chess, and the Trump regime structured it so the US position would not be diluted within the deal. Great dealmakers. And as I've gone over, over and over again, the 65 billion barrels of potential oil in Venezuela— first off, it's hypothetical and potential.

It's tarry, viscous, sour oil that's not easy to refine. The earliest you'd be able to refine it is decades, maybe slightly less, but it's going to take a long period to refine. Nobody actually really wants to invest serious capital in Venezuela with the Delcy Rodriguez regime. And there are all these other issues associated with it, not to mention the Trump regime creating a Trump Oil Company within Pete Hegseth's Defense Department, which in a future administration is going to be invalid. It's also the height of Trump and they all fearmonger about communism. You created a state-owned oil company within the Defense Department because private industry wasn't making the investment in Venezuela. So the whole thing, the whole thing is a sham. They did the deal with this guy named Alejandro Panticourt, a bolichico from Venezuela who was under investigation there for money laundering and all of these things, which he denies. But he was the guy in charge of the electricity grid there. And the electricity grid in Venezuela is not doing great. And the people of Venezuela continue to suffer right now and they are not doing good. And there are rolling blackouts there. I could go on and on and on and on.

But right-wing media, Um, is really pushing this story now. Look at this great deal that you— they're still pushing it. There's like zero coverage in left-wing media, very little coverage from so-called center media, but the right wing keeps pushing the Venezuela deal.

Why?

Hope is right around the corner. Just you wait, hope is coming. You're going to be rich in just a little bit. This is what the Trump regime does. By the way, this is why I partner with Ground News for this episode, because they're the best tool for me to stay objective. With my reporting so I can see stories like that and I can see the different version of events that are being reported by different media so I can decide how I'm going to cover the news each morning. For every story, they have this color-coded layout which makes it easy to see the political bias of each of its source. And again, it helps me stay objective. You can compare the reporting on the same issue to come to your own conclusions based on the facts. You could also see if, uh, if a source is independently owned or from a corporate conglomerate. Ground News has this dedicated Blindspot feed, a personal favorite of mine, which highlights stories being disproportionately covered on either side of the political aisle. I believe in Ground News so much, we're going to offer you 40% off the same Vantage plan that I use for my research.

I'm just reflecting on it again, though, with Kushner and Witkoff finally meeting Zelensky in Ukraine. You have Putin saying there's no chance at all that there's ever going to be any type of peace deal. And you saw the video I did this morning, right?

Right.

Where Putin struck even harder in Ukraine, not in Kyiv, but in the surrounding areas were hit very hard to also send that message. You know, Putin sees this Trump regime as utterly weak. And of course he would. I mean, you saw Whitkopf show up and the way Whitkopf behaved when he was in the Kremlin, it was so disgusting. Back to some of these Trump bootlicking sycophants this morning. You have Chris Wright saying, we're not stealing the oil from Venezuela. I don't know why anybody would. It's not like we're— it's not like we are taking this oil at gunpoint. Another thing we should know, too, there's apparently— not apparently, there is a bank account, a Trump bank account in Qatar. That's the bank account that's received the money that has been made on the Venezuelan oil. It doesn't go into the United States to our Treasury Department. It goes to a Trump bank account in Qatar. Can we talk about that for a moment, please? We'll add that to the list of impeachable offenses or just outright criminality. Could you imagine if Obama had a secret Qatari bank account? Was it not secret? A Qatari bank account where the money's going into and not the Treasury after engaging in this behavior?

It's sickening. Listen to Chris Wright say over here, um, we're, we're not stealing their oil at gunpoint. Play this clip.

itself. This is a home run. These senators saying we're stealing their oil at gunpoint, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the more oil that's produced in Venezuela, including with the deal with the U.S. government, the more royalties and tax revenues go to the Venezuelan government and the Venezuelan people. If you have resources deep underground and they've been sitting there for millions of years, they don't bring any benefit. They only bring benefit when capped And they're extracted, brought to the surface, refined, and made to better the lives of Venezuelans, Americans, and the whole Western Hemisphere.

Then Chris Wright says, do not trust any of my predictions when it comes to whether or not the price of oil is going to go lower anymore. He goes, yeah, I would just trust the markets. Don't trust my predictions, even though he was the one telling us that we were going to have, what, $3 gas soon and $2 gas soon? Okay, here, play this clip.

Well, if you look at the futures prices, you wanted to buy today in bulk gasoline for 2 months out in November. It's about $0.35 cheaper than it is today. So the marketplace thinks gasoline prices are going to move meaningfully lower. So trust the market. Certainly don't trust my predictions. But we're doing everything we can to grow the production of gasoline as we pass Labor Day tomorrow. You start to see demand decline as we move out of summer driving season. So the Trump administration is leaning in heavily in that area. And Venezuela, I wouldn't discount it. Things there are going well ahead of plan. Venezuelan oil exports are up 50%. Their total national production is up 25%, and billions of dollars of new investment has been announced.

And then he finally confirms that a country or company is not able to send any ships through the Strait of Hormuz safely without the United States' help. Here, play this clip for yourself.

So sort of what's unsaid in this discussion so far is that it's just, it's not safe. The New York Times also says August was the deadliest month for merchants in the Strait of Hormuz since March. Can you unequivocally Can you say that ships that want to transit through the Strait of Hormuz can do so safely?

We're working cooperatively with fleets that do want to transit. Some ships aren't transiting, and of course that's their choice. But the United States is working with teams from all of the nations in the Gulf to get transits and to continue to ramp them up. Iranian ships, of course, are not transiting at all. That's, that's a ticking time bomb for the economy of Iran.

But you're not saying that it's currently safe?

We're getting a lot of ships through, but of course it requires the U.S. military to do that. We're not pre-conflict levels, if that's what you're asking, Dana.

Well, I'm just asking if, if, yeah, I mean, pre-conflict levels, or just bottom line, if a country or a company wants to send its tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, can they do so safely?

Well, if they want to work with the United States Navy, I, I think they can. But look, we're trying to end a 47-year conflict.
