So rude, so utterly disrespectful, so contemptible. And speaking about so contemptible, as we've been reporting now for a very long time, we've been far ahead of, I think others in reporting on this. The Trump regime has tried to force Ukraine to surrender to Russia. Trump and Steve Witkoff, his envoy to Russia, they've been working through back channels with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia's special envoy to the U.S. putin's guy who's working in the U.S. right now. They prepared a 28 point plan of surrender that they tried to force upon Ukraine and said, if you don't accept these surrender terms right now, give Russia basically all of eastern Ukraine. You can't build your military Ukraine, you can't join NATO. Ukraine, and we're going to lift all the sanctions, sanctions away from Russia. And Russia promises that it won't go to Keev. You'll have to give them all of eastern Ukraine, but they promise you they won't go to Kiev. How utterly disgusting. So Trump tried to force this plan on Zelinsky. By the way, when you read the plan itself, it looks like it was just Google translated from Russian. Like it literally just uses Russian terminology. And then Zelinsky caught it, smoked it out spoke with the European allies of Ukraine and they put on a united front and said, absolutely not. There's no chance that we are supporting this. They stood firm from Germany to the UK To France to all throughout Europe. And they said to Poland, they all put out statements saying absolutely not. We are not going to give up our sovereignty to Russia. Just now you have US and Russia basically as allies. You have Ukraine, Europe, Canada, Australia as a bloc. Just a, a sad thing as an American to see Donald Trump not just try to force a surrender on of Ukraine to Russia, but Trump surrendering the United States to Russia. So gross. So gross. So no wonder. Not a shocker that Donald Trump's approval is 38%, 37% depending on the poll. You know, you see things like this on page one of the Wall Street Journal. Middle class is buckling under financial strain from inflation. Or how about this? The Congressional budget office slashes U.S. budget tariff savings estimate by $1 trillion. The new tally leaves tariff savings failing to offset Trump's signature tax cut law, the tax cuts for the billionaires, which the CBO said would add $3.4 trillion to the deficit. So deficits are up, up, up. Our debt is up, up, up. Federal spending is up, up, up. Right now jobless claims are up, up, up. Right now our GDP is slowing. We have 80% of the country right now basically in a recession or in great recessionary conditions. Thus is the state of the United States heading into Thanksgiving based on the horrific policy planning, erratic behavior and I think frankly war crimes of the Trump regime while they still continue to cover up the Epstein files. I've been doing a lot of reports about this as well. That Ghislaine Maxwell, you know, Trump's bud, who he moved over from the maximum security facility in Florida, Tallahassee to the minimum security facility in Camp Bryan, Texas. Yeah. Well, she was willing to talk to Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney who became the number two at the doj. Todd Blanche, remember that interview where she basically lied about Donald Trump was such a great guy, I never saw him do anything wrong. Right. We saw all the emails that were released from the Epstein estate showing that she basically lied about everything. And that's not a shocker while she was willing to speak with Trump's doj. But guess what folks, she now says that she will not speak with Congress. In fact, she says that she will invoke the fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. So if the Congress were to ask her, did you ever see Donald Trump with underage girls or did you see this or that? Guess what she's gonna say. I invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. And you may be saying, well, Ben, she didn't invoke her Fifth Amendment rights when she spoke to Trump's lawyer. Exactly. Shouldn't that tell you everything you need to know? I don't care what political party you're from. You see where this cover up is heading. And James Comer, who leads the House Oversight Committee, the MAGA Republican, you know, like I'm James Comer and Jim Jordan, they're now saying, why should we even travel to Texas to take the deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell? She says she's just going to invoke the fif. Think it will be a waste of taxpayer resources to even try to take her deposition and videotape her invoking the Fifth. As I've told Democratic Congress members over and over again, and I've made my position very clear. You take that deposition. I want to see her under oath on camera. And I want you to ask the questions that you see Donald Trump with underage girls. Did you see him engaged in this conduct? Did you lie to Todd Blanche? Are you aware if Trump was engaged in money laundering? Did you see Epstein and Trump do this, that and the other? Let her say, I invoke the Fifth Amendment against self incrimination. And I'm not answering that. That must be done. You know, and I think one of the things that we're seeing as well, and I think people like Marjorie Taylor Greene are seeing this as well. The writings on the wall for this MAGA Republican Party, they're just ppp, a pedo protection program. They're covering up child sex trafficking. That's the one thing they're doing. They're not productive in any way other than they're covering up for child sex trafficking rings, the most powerful in American history and world history. How sick and disgusting, despicable, vile is that? Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing that she is quitting, that she's resigning from the House of representatives effective early January 2026.
