  • donald Trump is not having a good Sunday
  • let me tell you what's going down uh
  • first off I guess Donald Trump is taking
  • his uh anger resentment and overall
  • insecurities out on the White House uh
  • just continuing to rip up the rose
  • garden i think they're trying to turn
  • the rose garden into like a deck but
  • here's what the rose garden looks like
  • in the White House it just goes and
  • shows you that everything this guy
  • touches dies and he's just a complete
  • and utter failure in everything we
  • learned this morning as well but we've
  • reported on it before on the Midas Touch
  • network but Al Jazer is reporting it and
  • others at uh others are reporting it
  • that Iran may be able to restart its
  • uranium enrichment in a matter of months
  • despite the wave of attacks by the US
  • and Israel that targeted its nuclear
  • infrastructure this comes from the IAEA
  • chief Raphael uh Grossi uh and so really
  • the United States strikes as confirmed
  • by our own intelligence agencies and

  • 1:01
  • European intelligence agencies did not
  • achieve its missions if anything it's
  • emboldened Iran and we'll see if the
  • ceasefire really holds or not i suspect
  • that it uh isn't um one of the things we
  • learned as well we've done lots of
  • reports about the disastrous budget bill
  • how it ultimately um made it through the
  • hurdle of proceeding to a vote remember
  • how on Saturday it really went until
  • about 11 p.m east Coast time um and
  • trying to figure out how did these kind
  • of right-wing MAGA Republicans who said
  • they were never going to vote for it
  • vote for it well Lisa Marowski for
  • example from Alaska she cut a lastminute
  • deal that will only benefit Alaska about
  • what 800,000 people in Alaska and so the
  • people of Alaska they're going to be
  • exempted from a lot of the provisions
  • that are going to kill other Americans

  • 2:02
  • like they'll be able to keep their
  • supplemental nutrition assistance
  • program and food stamps and some of the
  • other attacks um that could be
  • devastating and throwing other people
  • off healthcare across the country
  • they're going to they're going to take
  • it a little easier on Alaska a state
  • with a small population but this is what
  • the MAGA Republicans do pitting
  • Americans against Americans and I have
  • to imagine I know we have a lot of
  • Alaska might as followers to be used as
  • pawns where because your senator did
  • that other Americans are going to die i
  • just want you to think about the sick
  • calculus so it was things like that and
  • also like MAGA Republican Senator Rick
  • Scott got additional cuts from Medicaid
  • more Americans uh going to be killed um
  • that was one of the things that the MAGA
  • Republicans um wanted to make sure that
  • they put in this disastrous um budget
  • bill and now one of the things that
  • we're learning so just think about this

  • 3:01
  • picture you've got Donald Trump golfing
  • right now he's literally physically
  • ripping to shreds the rose garden he did
  • not achieve the goals that he claimed he
  • did in Iran the world is far less stable
  • a disastrous budget bill has worked its
  • way through the Senate um and is poised
  • to pass probably tomorrow or so late
  • tomorrow that's going to kill millions
  • of Americans and these senators the MAGA
  • Republican senators they're refusing to
  • speak to the Senate parliamentarian
  • because they know that their provisions
  • would violate remember that bird rule
  • which doesn't allow them to do certain
  • things in reconciliation so now what the
  • MAGA Republican senators are doing what
  • they've kind of colluded with Donald
  • Trump to do is they're saying 'We're not
  • even going to speak to the
  • parliamentarian we're just going to
  • ignore her and not show her the bill.'
  • Basically and of course you know this by
  • now but this disastrous budget bill is
  • the largest transfer of wealth in the

  • 4:01
  • history from lowincome workingclass
  • Americans to billionaires and
  • decillionaires and I just want you to
  • see as well that right-wing media is not
  • even reporting on how this is going to
  • crush solar energy and new technologies
  • um so I use ground news to find out
  • where the media bias is at so on an
  • article like this that the disastrous
  • budget bill will hasten the end of wind
  • and solar tax credits and impose new
  • taxes on these types of important uh
  • energy especially energy that's needed
  • right now as as AI is picking up you'll
  • see that there's zero right-wing media
  • that is covering this at all zero
  • right-wing media you know and I think
  • that tells you why their followers are
  • uneducated about what's happening so I
  • use ground news to um as my research

  • 5:02
  • tool when I make these videos it's
  • essential for me to try to determine
  • where the media bias may be so I can cut
  • through it go to ground.news/mtn
  • news/MTN
  • or scan the QR code right here and get
  • 40% off Ground News's top tier Vantage
  • plan which is what I use it'll give you
  • unlimited access to all of the tools I
  • have ground News is subscriberfunded so
  • they don't rely on ads that could also
  • introduce bias subscribing supports our
  • channel and their independent team
  • working to keep the media transparent i
  • use their blind spot feature to say is
  • there a blind spot that right-wing media
  • consumers are having or left-wing media
  • consumers are having and that's what I
  • did right there one more time it's
  • ground.news/mtn
  • or scan the QR code get that 40% off
  • moving on if you're a millionaire if
  • you're a billionaire you are going to
  • benefit a ton from this budget bill if
  • you make uh under $100,000
  • $150,000

  • 6:01
  • um this bill is going to absolutely
  • screw you you're going to literally hand
  • your money so that people making over $4
  • million can get an extra $300,000
  • in uh tax cuts and I'm not even
  • factoring in the fact that uh this is
  • going to take more pe this is going to
  • basically bring us back to
  • pre-affordable care act health insurance
  • where there was tons of people dying uh
  • in our country who couldn't access
  • health insurance donald Trump um then
  • gave a disastrous interview with Maria
  • Barteroma this morning on Fox donald
  • Trump is talking about all the deals
  • that he's making he's actually making no
  • deals and then he brings up on his own
  • that we have a buyer for Tik Tok he says
  • to which Barter Roma says 'Who?' He goes
  • 'I'll tell you in ding ding ding two
  • weeks.' He says he says 'Two weeks i got
  • to get you.' Play this clip no big deal
  • it's like Tik Tok i'm extending that you
  • know but no big deal we have a buyer for
  • Tik Tok by the way i think I'll need

  • 7:00
  • probably China approval i think
  • Presidency will probably do it i'll tell
  • you in about uh two weeks a big
  • technology company there very very
  • wealthy people it's a group of very
  • wealthy people but um what I want to do
  • is and what I will do just sometime
  • prior to the 9th is we'll send a letter
  • to all these countries
  • there's 200 countries you can't talk to
  • all of them no matter how many people
  • you have you can't talk to all it's the
  • most embarrassing thing that this guy
  • says two weeks about everything two
  • weeks for the health care plan two weeks
  • and I'm going to figure out am I going
  • to sanction uh Russia which he never
  • does give me two weeks and I'll come
  • back with it's it's the most ridiculous
  • weak pathetic stuff he has no plan he
  • doesn't know what he's talking about and
  • he's pushing the United States every
  • single day into a position of weakness
  • um and frankly international humiliation
  • and he lives in his own fictitious world
  • that doesn't exist he talks about the

  • 8:01
  • trip to NATO and he goes when I went to
  • the Netherlands he said the world
  • leaders now wanted to talk to America he
  • goes 'Under Biden nobody wanted to talk
  • to us and now everybody was like,'Oh
  • Donald I want to speak to you now
  • because you're in charge what are you?'
  • Everybody was laughing at you they were
  • literally mocking you there for how weak
  • and pathetic you are and people actually
  • respected former President Biden but
  • what a delusional world like just you've
  • got this guy with his face painted
  • orange you know who's not speaking in
  • complete sentences blah blah you know
  • it's the most ridiculous thing in the
  • world you know just speaking gibberish
  • right here here play this clip and you
  • know I was in that beautiful place with
  • the king and the queen and it's like
  • beautiful everything is so nice but when
  • I went to the Netherlands and I looked
  • everybody was coming up Mr president Mr

  • 9:00
  • president they didn't do that a year ago
  • or two years ago three years ago these
  • are the big countries this is Germany
  • and France and all of them i mean a big
  • group of countries they respect America
  • again they laughed at us they thought we
  • were a joke you had a president they
  • kept falling downstairs and falling on
  • stages and couldn't find an entrance and
  • then he goes on to again say that the
  • United States should conquer Canada he
  • again attacks Canada's sovereignty and
  • he attacks the USMCA the United States
  • uh Mexico Canada agreement which he was
  • the one who negotiated here play this
  • clip and you know I was in that
  • beautiful place with the king and the
  • queen and there was like beautiful
  • everything is so nice but when I went to
  • the Netherlands and I looked everybody
  • was coming up Mr president Mr president
  • they didn't do that a year ago or two
  • years ago three years ago these are the
  • big countries this is Germany and France
  • and all of them i mean a big group of

  • 10:02
  • countries they respect America again
  • they laughed at us they thought we were
  • a joke you had a president they kept
  • falling downstairs and falling on stages
  • and couldn't find a an entrance donald
  • Trump then threatens the city of New
  • York and says 'Whoever's the mayor of
  • New York you better behave or the
  • federal government is coming for you.'
  • Here play this clip i have everybody so
  • I don't want to get into that i can tell
  • you this whoever's mayor of New York is
  • going to have to behave themselves or
  • the federal government is coming down
  • very tough on them financially you said
  • you're stopping all remember those Tea
  • Party MAGA Republicans with the the
  • don't tread on me remember remember the
  • states rights folks right but now I
  • guess according to our fascist
  • right-wing Supreme Court and Donald
  • Trump states rights means the federal
  • government decides 'Oh we don't like
  • your state because you have diversity or
  • you have immigrants in your state or
  • you're a thriving state let's use the
  • federal government to attack the states

  • 11:01
  • that are the donor states like New York
  • and California and other blue states in
  • Massachusetts that are funding the
  • failed red states that are literally
  • subsidizing the failed red states and
  • let's use the federal government to
  • attack them let's you know what states
  • rights means yeah you may have a
  • national guard california nice national
  • guard you have there oh are they helping
  • prevent more wildfires are they helping
  • um actually deal with fentinol in the
  • state and and stopping drug cartels are
  • they helping with the things that the
  • National Guard has used by the governor
  • i want to take your National Guard and
  • you know what I want to do with them as
  • the federal government i want to place
  • them as props around federal buildings
  • and just have them stand there like
  • they're bouncers at a club so that they
  • could so we could project
  • authoritarianism in the United States
  • then um Donald Trump says look of he
  • goes of course the United States is

  • 12:01
  • hacking the telecom systems in China
  • that's just what we do here play this
  • clip and then they hack didn't they hack
  • into our telecom system they've been
  • stealing intellectual property that
  • fentinol co I mean you know all of this
  • stuff so how do you negotiate with
  • obviously a bad actor on economics you
  • don't think we do that to them
  • we do so we do a lot of things that is
  • the way the world works that's the way
  • the world works not It's a nasty world
  • and then you just do a trade deal we do
  • well we made a lot of money with this
  • trade deal you know I do a trade deal if
  • it works we made a lot of money with the
  • trade deal next Donald Trump talks about
  • how uh when the chairman of the Federal
  • Reserve Jerome Powell's term is up that
  • Donald Trump is going to handpick
  • somebody there who's going to lower the
  • interest rates to 1% or 2% because
  • that's what Donald Trump wants them to
  • be which by the way lowering interest
  • rates in theory
  • is a you know would be great the issue

  • 13:02
  • is you need a non-partisan
  • Federal Reserve that is independent to
  • assess if you drop the interest rates
  • precipitously like that will you cause a
  • massive surge in inflation and lead to a
  • great depression that's why it is a
  • difficult decision sometimes for the
  • Federal Reserve to say we can't do
  • interest rate cuts as great as they
  • would be because we have to balance the
  • overall economic outlook of the country
  • but here's what Donald Trump says let's
  • play it it's their turn to do it and
  • they won't do it there are a lot of bad
  • people in the Democrat party how are you
  • going to deal with the $9 trillion
  • that's coming due this year just turn it
  • over oh well let me tell you that we're
  • going to do it this way we're going to
  • turn it over short term because we have
  • a stupid person at the Fed if he would
  • lower the rates but I don't want to have
  • to pay for 10 years debt at a higher
  • rate and then we're going to get
  • somebody into the Fed who's going to be

  • 14:01
  • able to lower the rates we should be at
  • 1% or 2% you know if you look at
  • Switzerland they're the lowest right now
  • they're at uh much less than one point
  • and frankly we should be there too
  • because without the United States the
  • whole world doesn't work and you've and
  • then Donald Trump goes 'Oh enrichment
  • doesn't mean air conditioning.' What's
  • he what's he even talking about play
  • this clip it's their turn to do it and
  • they won't do it there are a lot of bad
  • people in the Democrat party how are you
  • going to deal with the $9 trillion
  • that's coming due this year just turn it
  • over oh well let me tell you that we're
  • going to do it this way we're going to
  • turn it over short term because we have
  • a stupid person at the Fed if he would
  • lower the rates but I don't want to have
  • to pay for 10 years debt at a higher
  • rate and then we're going to get
  • somebody into the Fed who's going to be
  • able to lower the rates we should be at
  • 1% or 2% you know if you look at
  • Switzerland they're the lowest right now
  • they're at uh much less than one point

  • 15:01
  • and frankly we should be there too
  • because without the United States the
  • whole world doesn't work and you've so
  • you probably saw from my last reporting
  • that Donald Trump uh gave made a post
  • where he extorted the courts in Israel
  • um and extorted people in Israel who
  • don't support Netanyahu netanyahu is
  • being criminally prosecuted netanyahu is
  • a criminal okay benjamin Netanyahu is a
  • criminal being prosecuted in Israel for
  • being a criminal like that's the reality
  • of what's going on in Israel so what
  • Donald Trump said is that's a witch hunt
  • and he said 'If you continue to
  • prosecute Netanyahu within Israel within
  • your own justice system the US will cut
  • off all military support for Israel.'
  • That's Donald Trump's priorities right
  • now while Americans can't afford housing
  • while Americans live paycheck to
  • paycheck while Americans are about to be
  • taken off health care while Americans
  • are being are suffering each and every

  • 16:00
  • day this is this is Donald Trump's
