As Donald Trump rots away at Mar A Lago, ranting and raving like a lunatic, all alone, all by himself. That's what's going on in Kiev right now. Russia unleashed a ballistic missile and drone strike. 500 drones, 400 missiles targeting Kiev. We know that there are already numerous people who have died, including children. President Zelensky has just responded. He says today Russia showed how it reacts to peace negotiations between Ukraine and the United States regarding ending Russia's war against Ukraine. They massively attacked Ukraine precisely on the way to peace negotiations. Russia shows its response. And Zelensky is supposed to be meeting with Donald Trump tomorrow at Mar A Lago. And this is what Putin does. Also, we know that yesterday Donald Trump put out a statement basically attacking Zelensky for peace negotiations. I covered it in a video I did this morning saying nothing gets done without me. You have this chart right here that Senator Murphy posted. Take a look at it. You can see that the drone and ballistic strikes have dramatically increased by massive amounts since. Since Donald Trump's been in office. Putin views Donald Trump as weak, and Putin views Donald Trump as a Putin bootlicker, which I think is accurately what's taking place right now as Donald Trump rants and raves like a lunatic in Palm beach right now, where, again, he's golfing on the taxpayer dime. He's also making posts like this. Tariffs are creating great wealth and unprecedented national security for the USA. The trade deficit has been cut by 60%. Totally unheard of of 4.3% GDP and going way up. No inflation. We are respected as a country again. We've never been respected less than we are right now. Uh, our allies are frankly no longer allies. Our enemies are laughing at us and taking advantage of us, as you know. I mean, when Donald Trump says there's no inflation, isn't that one of the most insulting things imaginable? Like, he really thinks that you're stupid. Like, he really thinks that all you do is regurgitate his MAGA mush. And there may be some people in MAGA who still do that, but overwhelmingly, the United States is done with this vile individual and recognize that he's a liar about everything, and I mean everything. And this is why it's important that we have independent media. By the way, make sure you hit subscribe to this YouTube channel and help us get to 6 million subscribers, because there's absolutely. There's absolutely nothing true about what Donald Trump ever says. So it's important that we focus critically on what's happening, you know, out there. So, like, when Donald Trump says that, you know, he was protecting the Christians in Nigeria, and that's why he engaged in this Christmas present, as he called it. I gave a Christmas present for the Christians of Nigeria, and I struck ISIS over there. We have reporting, by the way, also in Nigeria, and I've been speaking to people in Nigeria, and they confirm what I'm hearing in other places as well, that they've hit places like Jabo and other villages with no ISIS in it at all. And people are like, what the hell is even happening here? I'll tell you what's happening. Oil and lithium. Nigeria has lots of oil and lots of lithium. And the Trump regime wants their oil and lithium. They see China making inroads into Africa. They see making inroads not only to places like Nigeria, but Mali and other areas nearby Burkina Faso. And this is how the Trump regime wants to take control over rare earth elements and over natural resources is one of the things. Also, CNN did a good report on this. NIMI prince, Will writer Fear and confusion in Nigerian village hit in US Strike as locals say there's no history of isis. So villagers say that Jaba, one of the areas that were hit by these missiles, not known for any terrorist activity. The local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority. And you see people here in the village saying, we saw missiles that were coming and striking our village and our farms. Like, what the hell is even going on right here? I'm gonna try to bring on a Nigerian reporter at the Midas Touch network as well and get you some inside you haven't heard in other places. Okay. I think it's also important as Donald Trump tries to brag about all the greatest economy ever, the greatest economy ever, which we know is not the case. And one of the things he points to is the stock market, as though everybody's making tons of money on the stock market. Whereas unemployment is up to 4.6%. We've lost 1 million jobs in this past year. Unemployment increased 54% year over year. That's not a good thing. You don't want it to increase. If you listen to the Fed, they explain that we're in what's called stagflation, right, where you have unemployment going up and then you also have inflation going up as well at the same time. And then we also know that when it comes to the inflation data, close to 50% of the CPI data, the consumer price index is now based on the Trump regime giving what it estimates, estimates to be the inflation data. So that's what they're relying on right now. But if you just take a look right here at the US Stock market and you compare it to the rest of the world, European stocks have been up 25%, global stocks are up 30% this year, and US stocks are up around 18% this year. It's not bad. It's good that the market is up 18%. But U.S. if you look at this chart right here, the U.S. stock market has gone up about the least of any kind of global market this year. So here's Justin Wolfers University in Michigan. Professor, here's what he had to say. Let's play this clip right here.

One thing I really want to come back to is we keep talking about what's happening with the S and P and the market. And this, I think, reflects too much the economic literacy of many in the media. It turns out global markets, the world stock market, excluding the US has risen by 30% over the past year. If America's had a fantastic year, how much do you reckon we have grown? If the rest of the world grew 30%, well, in fact we've grown 18%. We've underperformed the global market by 12%. If you look at what's happening around the world, American stocks have risen by less than almost any other leading country. It's been a miserable year for the American investor, if you know enough to compare them to other investors.

I think it's important in the Trump regime that we get an accurate media diet. We understand what's going on right now and we get our news from a lot of sources. So I often get asked, well, what news source do you use in the morning to help you prepare for these videos? What do you look at? Well, I stay up to date on the news by going to my go to news source which is called Ground News. You all know I love Ground News. It's my top research tool. It's a subscriber funded app and news site and every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and they organize them by story and then show you what is the right report, what is the center reporting, what is the left reporting. It's a game changer because as active responsible citizens we must get our news from reliable sources and Trump's America being informed about facts and media bias, I think it's the most important thing that you can do. But that's why we love Ground News. For every article they also tell you, did a media conglomerate put this news out or was it independent media? And they also list the degree of factuality which is interesting as there are a lot of new sources from media conglomerate that have mixed or low factuality. Independent media seems to have a higher factuality, but you get all of that with your Ground News Vantage subscription. I especially like their Blind Spot feed which highlights stories that are disproportionately covered by one side of the political spectrum. Like this story about the Kuzma, the Canadian United States Mexico agreement and how the 2026 Kuzma review and US midterms have a lot to do with each other and how Kuzma's review will likely impact our midterms. If you look right here on the left, 88% of the coverage on this story is coming from the left, 12% is coming from the center and right wing media is not covering Kuzma Review at all. So let me explain to you why it's important in a moment. So join us though by going to ground news MTN get 40% off the ground News Vantage plan that I use every morning. They are subscriber funded. And by subscribing, you're not only getting a tool we all need today, you're also supporting our work on this YouTube channel. So go to gr o u n d news, slash mtn and we pin the link to purchase your subscription below. That's ground.news/mtn and get 40% off the ground News Vantage plan. I mean, look, speaking about Kuzma is a big deal. The Trump regime, again, is trying to, in my view, kind of extort and threaten Canada that it's going to pull out of the United States Mexico Canada Agreement, or in Canada they call it Kuzma. Um, and this is part of Donald Trump's leverage to try to, you know, turn Canada into the 51st state or whatever. And it's important that we recognize that there was an existing free trade relationship between the United States and Canada. I know right wing media wants to pretend that that doesn't exist, but it does exist. And I just think if you look at what some right wing influencers or people who voted for Trump are saying, I think it's important to listen, listen and listen, because I think Trump's betrayal on the Epstein files, I think Trump's constant gaslighting is really causing, you know, a rift. And people even who voted for Trump are saying, let's break down these issues. I thought Christian Cooper did a. She's someone who voted for Trump and she's explaining here why she's on a maga. A MAGA influencer unfollowing spree. And again, I just think it's important that we listen to, you know, what people who voted for Trump are saying about him right now. Take, take a listen to this. Let's play this clip.

I just went on a MAGA influencer unfollow spree and let me tell you why. The mental gymnastics required to stand by your man under these conditions, truly, in my opinion, is Olympic level. And I have followed some of these people for years, admired their ability to speak out when the opinion was unpopular. But now I'm starting think, okay, they were countering the system, but not countering the system, which is the reason why many of us voted for this administration in the first place. Here's some of my problems with this administration. The Epstein list, okay? Referring to the Epstein list as the Epstein hoax, after running your entire campaign on that is a slap in the face to all of us. Do you think we are stupid? You cannot gaslight me enough into forgetting that this admin said they were going to release the Epstein list. Pam Bondi said it was on her desk.
- [12:48]
B
Okay.

We are still sending billions of dollars overseas to fund foreign wars, denying America's interest. Right. We've got some problems here in the mainland approving PFA pesticides to be sprayed all over our fruit and vegetables. It's not limited to your fruit and vegetable. This is going into our soil. It's going to leak into our water supply. We are going to be drinking it forever. Chemicals are linked to hormone disruption, thyroid dysfunction, cancer. It's an atrocity. When we're talking about making America Healthy again. PFA Pesticides is crazy. Debt normalization, 50 year mortgages. Essentially saying your kids will never own anything ever. They will never own that little plot of land. The American dream. They're never going to own their own home. The fact that 90% of Black Friday purchases were made using a buy now, pay later like Klarna, that's also crazy. Surveillance expansion through Palantir. Think China during COVID Yeah, that sounds extreme, doesn't it? That is how rapidly this administration is advancing AI. They're. They're advancing it so quickly they had to put out a statement to state government saying, if you try to like, put regulations around AI, we're coming for you too. That is how much this federal government wants to advance AI and data centralization. So freaking scary. And then you can't ask anything about any of this. If you start asking questions, you were never really maga. You're not based. Right. All this infighting is caused by Candace and Tucker. Y', all, please be so serious. Don't insult our intelligence like that. Right. We might like Candace and Tucker, but they're not changing our opinions. They're just saying what a lot of.

Us are thinking, you know, and you hear what she's saying and then take a look at what Democratic Senator Ron Wyden explained earlier this year, where he talks about how Trump's Treasury Department is covering up 4,725 wire transfers totaling $1.1 billion of a money laundering scheme that Epstein was engaged in with other right wing billionaires and like, and billionaires in general. I don't care whether you're right wing or left wing or center. If you're involved in this, this should be exposed. It's that simple. Here, play this clip of Senator Wyden. Let's play it.
- [15:14]

Last year, the Biden administration allowed our investigators to look at portions of the file. We did that at the treasury building. Here is what it says Treasury's EPSTEIN File details. Mr. President, 4,725 wire transfers. Let me repeat that. 4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein's bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts. That's even a lot more to investigate. The file shows that Mr. Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking.

Now, as I mentioned earlier in this video, we know that there will be a meeting taking place between Zelinsky and Donald Trump that's supposed to take place tomorrow. Russia's response to this meeting was to engage in that horrific ballistic missile strike that we showed you at the beginning. Also, one of the things that Russia tried to do is destroy a critical dam, the Kyiv HPP Dam, which could, if that flooded, could have killed hundreds of thousands of people. They fortunately were not able to strike that dam, but they are certainly trying to strike that dam. And we see what Putin's doing in advance of this meeting between Donald Trump and Zelensky that's supposed to take place tomorrow. Do you have any doubt whether or not Donald Trump and Putin are coordinating this one way or another? You could ask yourself that question. And then finally, as the main wonk account points out, the Affordable Care act tech. The Affordable Care act tax credits expire in five days. Trump's government runs out of money in a month where there will be another government shutdown in a month from now. And congressional Republicans refuse to put the American people first and compromise to find workable solutions to any of this right now. There you have it. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
