Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown at 12:15 AM in the morning. He was attacking members of his own political party and accusing them of engaging in treason for some Republicans joining forces with Democrats to pass a concurrent war powers resolution to block Donald Trump from restarting the war in Iran. Donald Trump said, I have Iran on the ropes. I'm about to finish the job. And now you've undercut me, you treasonous traitors with this war powers resolution. He was posting that at around 12:15 AM in the morning. Also at 12:15 AM in the morning, he was accusing gas companies of engaging in price gouging. And he was saying, if we look at the futures price of crude, it is now decreasing since the Strait of Hormuz has, I guess, been partially opened. And he said, why is that not being reflected in the gas prices already? Also, Donald Trump's been lying and saying 19 million barrels of oil have traversed the Strait of Hormuz. This is a record. That wouldn't be a record. Last year, the average was 20 million barrels a day. And also, you're lying about what's actually happening in the Strait of Hormuz.
Yes.. It is more open now than it was during the war, but it does seem that Iran is prioritizing its tankers, Chinese tankers, and its allies over the other ships. It seems like there's a lot of confusion among the other tankers and the other cargo ships about where they are supposed to go. Do they need certain permits? Are they supposed to go through the Iranian Lane, the Oman Lane? And so you're actually not seeing anywhere near the quantity of, uh, tankers leaving the Strait of Hormuz. We have a graph showing that it's eking up a little bit, but it's not anywhere near it was where it was pre-war. So here's what Donald Trump posted at, uh, around 12:15 AM in the morning. He says the following: The big oil companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for oil. Those prices are dropping like a rock. In other words, customers are being gouged. I have instructed the DOJ to immediately start looking into this. Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I'm seeing. DJT, I think we'd all like for gasoline prices to start going down.
The reason they went up is because you and Netanyahu launched this catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. I do believe that there's price gouging going on, but you posting on social media, you've already demonstrated that you're a paper tiger. Nobody's afraid of you. They know that you'll just get distracted and you'll start ranting and raving like a lunatic about the reflecting pool and you'll forget about that social media post. No one takes you seriously. Everybody views you as a pathetic clown. No offense to real clowns, by the way. And did you see yesterday Donald Trump was having, uh, all of this fencing go up around the reflecting pool. He put in like this like AI detection, uh, infrastructure to see if people were tampering with the reflecting pool. If you dare touch the water, all of a sudden these like plainclothes officers and other deputized officers from other states would come like running to grab you. I mean, it's like a truly Like, it's like a lunatic scene over there by the reflecting pool. Donald Trump posted this late at night as well. So I have Iran on the ropes, ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything.
And for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the US and its president, me. And the United States Senate decides to have a poorly timed, meaningless War Powers Act vote, telling the number one sponsor of terror in the world that the United States doesn't like what I'm doing to them, and I must stop. And by so doing has provided aid and comfort to the enemy. Four Republican losers voted with Democrats and Iran. Ask my people, what does that all mean? These senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done one way or another because I always get it done. DJT. Here are the four Republican senators Trump just effectively accused of treason. Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Rand Paul, and Lisa Murkowski. Of course, Donald Trump doesn't have Iran ready to go down for the fall. Donald Trump and the United States lost the war to Iran. That's why the MOU reflects what happens when you lose and when you lose big. And when the global strategic petroleum reserves are about to hit tank bottom, where the strategic reserves in the United States, in Oklahoma, where it's mostly kept, is about to hit tank bottom and may actually already be at the tank bottom point where we're about to head into a global economic depression that you admitted to.
And so of course the MOU reflects giving billions and billions of dollars to Iran because they won. And when you break things, you need to fix it. And we should never have been involved in this unlawful and catastrophic war in the first place. And then Donald Trump just posting away, many communists running in badly, failing blue states. The votes seem to have them doing well against each other. You know, the way Trump and these MAGAs throw out the word communism and socialism. I mean, the Trump regime, they are socialism for the billionaires. They are, they are what you see in all of the kind of nightmare dystopian authoritarian oligarchical countries. I mean, they're giving all the benefits to the oligarchs and the rich people while screwing over everybody else right now. I mean, Donald Trump taking over companies and doing the 3,700 stock trades and the proximity to Donald Trump lets you manipulate the markets. That's what's going on behind the scenes. Then he makes these weird posts about, and then again, like, you know, with all of the problems that the American people are facing right now, please wake up. I mean, really, you know, the James Talarico, Alfred E.
Newman, ho ho ho, you look like Alfred E. Newman. John Ossoff. Oh, you look like Pee-wee Herman. You're Pee-wee Herman. You're Alfred E. Newman. MAGA, MAGA. I mean, grow the hell up. I mean, this is a movement of like— no offense to like 3-year-olds or 4-year-olds because they're far more mature than this, but like a group of like psychotic and demented 3-year-olds. Who behaves this way? There are so many issues confronting the American people. Can we be a serious nation, damn it, and confront the fact that American people can't afford anything right now. They can't afford rent. They certainly can't buy homes. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. They can't do anything right now. They're getting their healthcare ripped away from 'em. Data centers are going up in their communities and causing massive harm. AI is replacing their jobs. We just got the data, by the way, while Donald Trump was out there in Pennsylvania saying, look at the factory boom, look at the manufacturing boom. There was a manufacturing boom at the end of former President Biden's term, we had the Goldilocks economy when it came to manufacturing, and all you had to do was nothing but you tariff the entire world.
You engaged in other reckless market manipulation policies. You've promoted AI in a way without regulation that's led to massive job cuts. And now we got the latest data. Factory job cuts in June neared financial crisis and COVID levels. Let me repeat that. Factory job cuts in June neared financial crisis and COVID levels, as bad as it was in 2009 and during COVID-19. That's the Trump economy for you, screwing over the workers. But while he puts up fences around the reflecting pool— oh, and then by the way, you know, the musical act for America's 250th birthday, Kash Patel's girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, announces, what a great honor to be a part of the 250th birthday of this great nation. She's the featured performer now. As everybody else canceled on the Trump regime, they got Alexis Wilkins. Kash Patel's girlfriend will now be the performer— performance, as we said on the Midas Touch Network, a star-studded event. Way to go, Donald. And meanwhile, you have JD Vance, going on a podcast to show what an alpha bro he is. You know, get ready for the midterms, let's show what alphas they are. And JD Vance goes, you know, I wasn't a good boyfriend, I had a bad temper because I have what they would call attachment problems.
This is what JD's saying on a podcast. Let's play it.
And the woman who is now the Second Lady, she and I were dating. I was not a very good boyfriend. I had a terrible temper. I had, in hindsight, what people would have called attachment problems. And so we'd have an argument and I'd be like, all right, see you later. You know, call me in a few days.
Then JD Vance says, but it's easy to have babies when you're the VP because that's what you do when you're the VP. Babies, everybody. Who are these people? This is what JD— some of the strangest human beings in general. Let's play this clip.
The thing about this job is there are certainly sacrifices for the family, but it's also just in some ways the easiest possible situation in which to have a baby because there's so much support. Like we have amazing staff, we have people who help us with everything. You know, this house, which is— I liken it to the nicest public housing anywhere in the world, but like, you know, is largely taken care of by the Navy and the people who work here. And so while having a baby is always a bit of a challenge, especially in a job like this, I actually think that, you know, knock on wood, this is going to be the best way or like the easiest way, at least on the family, to bring a new life into the world.
And then when Donald Trump was heading to Pennsylvania, he said You know, we have so— there's so many jobs that were being created that you can get a job. We have the highest job numbers ever, and we're doing so good with jobs that there's just none available. You can't get that. That's how good we're doing. So good employing people that nobody can be employed right now. That's what he said. I mean, how ridiculous is this?
Play this clip.
You can't get a job right now. We have the highest job numbers we've ever had in the country, in the history of the country. And I'm just with a couple of the great senators and congressmen. We're talking— it's actually hard to build a job. You know, nobody's ever seen a time like this. We have right now so many jobs that are going to be available, and the biggest problem we have is getting the people. So we're really doing spectacular.
Now, when a reporter asked him yesterday, so your Department of Defense, which y'all call the Department of War unlawfully, You're asking for another $80 billion for the Iran war when you said the whole thing cost $29 billion, but you need it urgently right now because you've run out of munitions. So what do you say about that? Then of course Donald Trump just attacks the reporter. Here's what he says. Let's play this clip. The Department of War is asking for $80 billion more dollars for the Iran war. Do you think Americans support this at a time when so many are financially struggling?
Who are you with? I'm with Not a very good group. Not doing very well. Not only do they support it, not only do they support it, they demand it because they won't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. You want to see trouble? Let them have a nuclear weapon. We're doing very well with Iran. They've been decimated and we're making a deal with them and we'll see how that all goes.
And that's the Trump regime in a nutshell for you. No wonder A new Pew Research Center survey finds negative, overwhelmingly negative views about the United States president in regions around the globe. 65% of Canadians say the US is no longer a reliable partner. 79% of Canadians have zero confidence in Donald Trump to do the right thing. I want to know who the other people are who say that they have confidence in him. I guess Maple MAGA still exists a little bit. 66% of Canadians now have an unfavorable view of the United States right now. Way to, way to go. And also in other news, in a stunning upset, the Mamdani-backed candidates, all 3 won in New York in those congressional primaries right there. A new era rising over there. And I think people are making their voices heard. Louder than ever. And we're seeing that in New York with the Imam Dani-backed candidates. And everybody hit subscribe. Thanks for watching.
