I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for a 12 month plan. Required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy.

See terms Donald Trump is having a catastrophic Sunday morning. He's in Bedminster right now and according to the Wall Street Journal, he is telling his closest aides and advisors that he knows the United States lost this catastrophic war to Iran. He wants to try to declare victory by just having Iran open up the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Wall Street Journal article, Donald Trump does not even care about talking about denuclearization anymore. But Iran has remained fir on all of the conditions that it put in the Memorandum of Understanding in order to open the Strait of Hormuz. Israel leaving Lebanon, Iran getting sanctions relief and Iran keeping its ballistic missiles program. Iran getting a massive amount of aid and other kind of critical conditions. US leaving the region. And so Iran saying it's no longer just good enough for you to say we're leaving. You need to give us what we expected under the Memorandum of underserved. Now you see from Donald Trump's schedule right here that it's all closed off to the press today. We've got some photos of Donald Trump kind of roaming around and lurking at the Bedminster Golf Course in New Jersey. He's been posting again these weird images of James Talarico. Very strange behavior by Donald Trump right there. We also know that Israel is now threatening that if you're not going to escalate Donald and attack Iran, we're going to do it without you and we're going to drag you into it. Also, Netanyahu and other top Israeli officials are saying they are not agreeing to the so called Board of Peace plan in Gaza that Donald Trump was talking about two weeks ago or a week and a half ago. Trump's like, we did it again. I'm declaring another deal in Gaza and Hamas has agreed and Israel has agreed and Netanyahu said, let me be very clear, we don't agree to any of this. We don't want any deal at All. And Netanyahu said, while I remain the prime minister, there will never be a Palestine. That comes at the same time where Brad Cooper, who leads the US centcom, and he's really made a fool of himself, you know, over the past several months. This guy, he was in Israel with Netanyahu when Netanyahu was saying that, we reported earlier this morning. But let me reiterate as well. The Iranian backed Houthis in Yemen have been launching multiple attacks against Saudi interests in Yemen as well as in Saudi Arabia. Show you the B roll right here. The Houthis launched ballistic missiles and drones at Yemen's Al Muk port causing fires and heavy smoke. This comes within less than 24 hours of Saudi Arabia announcing its defense pact with Turkey in addition to the one it already had with Pakistan. They're calling that the Mecca Pact. And as I've been saying, the Houthis were going to test the Mecca Pact right from the outset and they weren't afraid of it. Notably last night you also had a Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia that was struck hard as well. And that was the Jabael refinery over there in eastern Saudi Arabia still on fire right now. The Houthis issued a statement saying they succeeded in targeting the Aramco refinery in that Jazan Jabal area, the industrial city area in eastern Saudi Arabia. So with all of this taking place, Donald Trump sends his bootlickers, his magascophants to do the morning shows and they just spew lie after lie. For example, you have MAGA Republican Senator Jim Banks this morning saying, I think that Donald Trump is the biggest peacemake ever. All of this is exactly what peacemakers do. This is MAGA Republican Jim Banks. Let's play this clip.
- [04:20]
C
A new war in the last four decades.
- [04:24]
B
Senator, do you still see President Trump now? We're nearly five months into the war with Iran as the greatest peacemaker?
- [04:34]
C
I do. His legacy is going to be largely wrapped up in ensuring that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. I do not want my kids to grow up in a world where Iran has a nuclear weapon that will be pointed directly at the United States of America, at our troops abroad, at our allies. And President Trump is the first president in 47 years who's had the guts to stand up to the regime there and tell them that they're not going to get away with it. There's been lots of good news of what's happened. The greatest military in the world. As an Afghanistan veteran myself, watching what our military has accomplished, wiping out 85% of Iran's ballistic missiles, the Iran's defense industrial base and making sure that they can never achieve their ultimate goal to have that nuclear weapon.
- [05:22]
A
Then you have Donald Trump propagandist Maria Bartiroma saying that if Democrats say that the economy is not doing well, well, that's just pure propaganda. She says. She goes, it's doing amazing. She says, I talk to CEOs and the US economy has never been better. She says in and of course, maybe if you talk to CEOs who are celebrating layoffs and who have gotten richer while the American people suffer. But this is exactly what is wrong with our country right now and the American people know it. Here, play this clip.
- [05:54]
C
You know, President Trump is constantly talking about record markets. You mentioned there rising wages and what we are still seeing, fewer layoffs, but yet this week already we're going to be hearing from Democrats about how horrible the economy is.
- [06:10]
D
That's just propaganda. I mean, look, things are going well and I think we all feel it, right, Griff? I mean, look at where we are right now. You've got job creation, you've got economic growth, you've got $18 trillion of new investment. The president's main priority has been to put America first and get the supply chains back to America so that we're not reliant on, you know, Asia for semiconductor chips, which we need for defense or, you know, China for pharmaceutical components. And so that in and of itself is such a pop for the economy and for growth. So really, everyone's going to say what they want to say in a campaign season. And I expect the campaign season is, you know, ramping up right now. But when you actually look at what's going on, things feel pretty good. I've spoken with a number of CEOs who tell me that business is up strongly and it has to do partly, it has to do partly with the big beautiful bill.
- [07:03]
A
Now going back to that MAGA Republican Senator Jim Banks for a moment, he then echoes what Maria Bartiromo says. And he says, yeah, I give the economy an A plus right now. Play this clip.
- [07:15]
B
Let me ask you now about the biggest issue for voters, the economy, one of the most defining issues of the midterm. Certainly President Trump said this week, quote, I think we should be given an A plus on the economy. Friday's jobs report, as you know, says the US lost 23,000 jobs in July. Do you think President Trump deserves an A plus on the economy? Senator?
- [07:41]
C
I do. And here's why. Every single jobs report, except for this one has exceeded expectations and there's still good news even in this July jobs report about the resurgence of manufacturing jobs and construction jobs that are being created in America. Don't never forget that the last two years that Joe Biden was in the White House, we lost a quarter of a million manufacturing jobs. And we've seen a significant resurgence because of President Trump's trade policies in bringing back those good paying factory jobs, advanced manufacturing jobs. We're seeing it nowhere more than in states like Indiana. That's the return of the made in America economy. Those are long term sustainable jobs. And we're going to keep seeing that in this Trump economy.
- [08:27]
A
So then Trump sends his national economic advisor, Kevin Hassett. This guy lies about everything. He did the various morning shows. I'll just show you this one clip where he says we actually have no inflation right now. He says, he goes, there's zero inflation and we're experiencing a massive boom. He says, here, play this clip.
- [08:48]
E
So it does seem as though the President's policies have led to this economic situation where the job growth is slower than in the last 18 months of Biden's administration. Right. Well, let's unpack these things. First of all, if you look at the latest inflation numbers, right, the consumer Price index was negative for the month of June. Core was zero. That's the thing that the Fed cares about. The PCE index, which is the Fed's number one index, was negative both for core and top line. And so all of the price data have been decelerating. Now, there was a big inflation in the previous administration, but there's been rapid deceleration of inflation under President Trump. And so if you're going to tell a story that tariffs are causing some kind of, you know, positive shock to inflation, then you got to come up with some counterfactual that explains why it is that right now inflation is running at about zero. And so, you know, it's so important

A
that we get accurate information with all of the lies out there. It's why I do my research and I get my news from ground news every morning. Before I do these videos, I want to see what the right is reporting on, what the so called left is reporting on, what the center is reporting on. So I could give you the best objective reporting that's out there. I found this fascinating when I was looking this morning. The story about how Trump wants to end this war and basically surrender, it's actually being viewed far more by right wing media right now, which is interesting to me. And the reason for that, I believe is because I Think left wing and center media know knew that already and that right wing media is now like what we're just learning about the six months he wants out. I actually think it's a good sign. But you know this research tool is very helpful for me. It's a game changer because I just think as active, responsible citizens, as someone who runs this large media network, we need to make sure we get our news from reliable sources. And I want to give you the most reliable sources. And so I use Ground News. It's a subscriber funded app and news site. Every day they pull in thousands of articles or more from around the world. They organize them by story and show you what different people are reporting. It just it gives me the full panoply of the news of the day. I use their Vantage subscription plan. I hope you'll use it to support this network by subscribing to their plan as well. Because they support this network. Ground News Vantage subscription will get you 40% off as well right now, which is their best offer yet. So join us by going to Ground News MTN. Get 40% off the ground News Vantage plan again. I use it every morning. They're subscriber funded. You're not only getting a tool we all need today supporting our work here on this YouTube channel, go to gr o u n D News MTN or click the QR code. Thanks Ground News. Let's get back into some of the reporting for today. Also we know an MQ9 Reaper was shot down over or crashed either shot down or crashed over Djibouti. So yet another piece of American military equipment destroyed. I don't know if you saw this. The Trump regime also gave all defense companies a 21 day ultimatum. You need to come up with a plan to build more weapons in the next 21 days. Or else what? The government's going to take over the companies? You're going to take over more of the modes of production or invoke the Defense Production act and shut companies down. The mismanagement of this war lies with the liars. It lies with Trump and Hegseth and these completely unqualified people who are being checkmated at every point by Iran. And it is just frankly an embarrassing humiliation ritual that that the Americans are put through every day. I talked about what Netanyahu has been saying. You have Israeli's energy minister saying, I think from our perspective it would be better if there's no agreement, we can continue putting pressure on Iran and I tell you, another two or three years with God's help the regime in Iran will fall. Remember where this started? We made sure to sow all those seeds that will lead to the fall of the regime. Just admitting that they brought us into this catastrophic, an unlawful war. The Netanyahu regime did. Oh, so then Kevin Hassett, the national economic advisor, also I showed you the clip before on cnn, Jake Tapper asked him, so, you know, you said, this is the strongest job market ever in American history, by what metric? And then he goes, yeah, we're booming. Things are great. I mean, this is the lies that they tell over and over again here, let's play this clip right here.
- [13:16]
E
And the bottom line is that if you look at the overall economy, then things are really, really booming. As an example, there are 83,000 construction workers building factories right now. That's a number that we've never seen before. Initial claims for unemployment insurance are the lowest they've been since World War II. There are more job openings than there are unemployed workers. So all these things that suggested the numbers should have been really strong, and when it didn't come out strong, we sort of dug in and we saw that the two things that made it negative, one of them was a reduction in government workers. And it was mostly teachers in states, you know, taking July off. And the other thing was that the FIFA ended and so that we had a whole bunch of hospitality workers, you know, file for unemployment in July. And so anyway, so you take those two out and you get back to what the consensus number was, about 100,000 job creation. And the point is, if that were in isolation, I wouldn't be carrying, caring about, like, throwing this or that on the side because it's a special story. But the fact is, everything else is so strong that I think that it makes sense that the consensus was about right.
- [14:17]
A
Tim Scott was asked by Manu Raju on cnn, why don't you just call Abdul El Sayed Abdul? Like, that's how he refers to himself as. Like, are you just trying to let. I think, I think people know he's Muslim. But is this like a way to do like a. Like a Islamophobic dog whistle? Like, what are you doing? And Tim's like, everyone calls me Timothy Eugene dude. What are you talking about? Play this clip.
- [14:41]
C
Your early attack ads against him. You're using his full name in these attack ads, which has gotten some attention. Abdul Rahman Mohammed El Sayed. He goes by Abdul El Sayed. Are you trying to say, hint, hint to voters he's Muslim?
- [14:53]
F
Not at all. What we're saying, what we're only saying to voters is a simple thing. He says he's the most d. He says he's the most dangerous candidate you can find. He's right. We should trust his words, not ours.
- [15:06]
C
But why not just use his name, Abdul El Sayed, which he goes by.
- [15:09]
F
Well, listen, I go by Timothy Eugene. And so I get called that all the time. Here's what I know about that question. It's about what he stands for. And we're going to focus and bring attention to the fact that not only is he sympathetic for Hamas, not only does he run around with Hassan Paik or someone who said that Americans deserve 9 11, he should be held account for exactly where he stands and what he's for.
- [15:33]
A
So then on Face the Nation you had Senator Cassidy of Louisiana who ended up voting for Todd Blanche. He wanted a participation trophy. He wanted credit for almost voting no on Blanche. Here, let me show you this clip.
- [15:47]
E
Let's play it. This is not a black or white decision.
- [15:50]
C
That is wrong and no American should
- [15:52]
E
be targeted by the law.
- [15:53]
C
But no American should be above the law. And that frankly almost weighed to vote no.
- [16:01]
B
And you're just hoping it you had to accept it.
- [16:06]
A
So utterly bizarre. And then I'll show you Abdul El Sayed. He was on CNN this morning and he was asked about the hateful imagery or the post that Donald Trump was making all last night where Donald Trump would post him and Melania. And then he posted Abdul and Abdul's wife. Abdul and his wife met at University of Michigan. They fell in love with. They've had a committed marriage, raising two kids. Remember I talked about that this morning. Go and watch the morning video by the way, to go check out that 4:00am video if you can go back and watch that. I think it was comprehensive. And Trump posts him and Melania. He's like there's two types of Americas.
- [16:45]
D
I don't know.
- [16:46]
A
You cheated on Melania with adult film actress when you know and said that she reminded you of her daughter according to the adult film actress. And then you brag about sexually assaulting women and then you were introduced by a guy who brags about being on the Epstein list, Apollo Zampoli. And you met at a Kit Kat club.
- [17:08]
F
And
- [17:11]
A
yeah, I guess there are two America. There's a sick Epstein class America and then there's America of hope and love and family. And Abdul Al Sayed hits that point. Let's play it. I want them to live in an America where they can breathe clean air and drink clean water and actually Sara and I like each other. I don't know about the first lady and the President, but from what I've heard, it's a bit of a rocky
- [17:31]
E
