Be clean can be now here are the headlines across the United States right now. The page one of the Indianapolis Star. Trump tariffs spark price fear. You think when we all go into the grocery store or convenience stores, we see how much more expensive things are? This isn't a shocker right now. And Donald Trump just fired the commissioner for bls, the Bureau of Labor Statistics. You know who else fires statisticians, dictators Erdogan in Turkey, fire the BLS person. And in places like North Korea and Russia, they don't have a commissioner who's appointed that's by and confirmed by the Senate. That's just not what they have. The Wall Street Journal's front page hiring slows sharply in the summer. It was one of the worst jobs reports in recent history. Really the worst jobs report since the Great Recession. And if you look at of the fundamentals of the economy, they're now looking as weak as the Great Recession. The New York Times headline stock market posts worst week in months in renewed economic fears. But as this account says, the guy who was convicted of 34 counts of first degree falsification of business records says that all of the numbers showing that the economy is doing horrible, that all the numbers are wrong. And Donald Trump's the one who has all the secret numbers in his head. He's the one who has said that gas prices are actually $1.98. Everybody, don't actually look at what the gas prices say and what you actually are paying. Trump says it's a buck 98 or Donald Trump says he's solved inflation. So don't look at the June figures from the Labor Department. For example, the for the cost of ground beef if you're doing a barbecue, which shows how you know the costs are up 11%, 7.2%, 12.8%, 12.7%, 10.7% depending on the type of cut that you get. I think it's important that we just take a look at objective data. And I often get asked what research tools I use to get at that objective data and to see what's being reported on the left and the right and the center. As you all know, the research tool I use is called Ground News. I think it's essential nowadays to see through double standards. I'm giving my viewers a great deal. All of you, if you wanted to check out the research tool I use, go to Ground News MTN or scan the QR code right here and get 40% off of ground News's top tier Vantage plan, which will give you unlimited access to everything that I've got. The 40% discount is great. I work that out with Ground News. Ground News is subscriber funded. They don't rely on ads that could also introduce bias. And subscribing also supports our channel. So go to ground news, slash MTN and or scan the QR code and get that 40% off that vantage plan. You know, just interesting too Right. Because when I'm looking at the ground news tool and I'm seeing Alligator Alcatraz detainees on hunger strike for the 10th day, now, the 11th day, no one is talking about this in right wing media. They don't talk about the conditions because they're trying to hide it from their audiences. But what they do talk about is so Cambodia trying to get in Donald Trump's good graces. They've nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, and they're like, donald Trump, you helped the peace process. It's interesting if you think about it, right? Because Pakistan nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, but India, for example, our traditional ally, did not. Pakistan gave Donald Trump meme coins or bitcoins and bought into his bitcoin business. And, you know, some would argue that's a quid pro quo bribe to Donald Trump. And India didn't do that. India is like, okay, well, we have other things that we can offer, like a broader relationship. And it's just interesting as Donald Trump continues to kind of attack India and embrace Pakistan. And the strategy of countries is just build Donald Trump a building or give him money or invest in his meme coins and then he'll be favorable to you. It's a really pathetic thing as the United States of America, which was once viewed as like the most powerful country in the world and the leader of the free world, it just isn't, just isn't anymore. The guy weakened this country so much in such a short period of time. Here are the detainees at Florida's Alligator Alcatraz on hunger strike for what they call inhumane and horrifically dangerous conditions. Here, take a listen to this.

That's the voice of Pedro Hernandez. He's on the phone with his wife calling from so called Alligator Alcatraz. He said he was talking to anybody that was listening. Whoever can help us with what's going on here. We've all been hungry since Tuesday. Pedro says he arrived from Cuba in the United States in 2006. He was arrested four years later and got a deep in July during a routine visit to ICE in Miramar. The feds scooped him up. It was the last time his wife saw him. My husband was in prison. We make mistakes, but we learn from them and fix things. Damaris Hernandez says Thursday she shared Pedro's plea for help from what he describes as deplorable conditions. It's also day nine with no food. He's on a hunger strike with other detainees. I'm not going to eat another plate of food until they show us Respect, Pedro said.

Democrats in Coconut Grove held an emergency town hall denouncing the conditions at the detention center.

And so when they're, when people are forced into these tent cities with substandard conditions, we're going to see people irreparably harmed, not only for due process, but people are not getting their medication, they're not getting food, they're not getting hygiene, they're not being able to use the showers.

And meanwhile, you have Donald Trump continuing to, you know, send messages like this. Flash maga pole. Flash maga pole. Or tonight is our last night to hit our critical end of the month fundraising goal. I'm counting on you. If you support what I've done in my first 100 days back in office, I need to act right now. They're like recycling old emails. We're well past 100 days. And what are you fundraising for right now? Oh, are you fundraising to use that money to try to rig the midterms and gerrymander states like Texas? Have you seen that new Texas map where they want to gerrymander it to basically remove the Democratic districts unlawfully? And then their goal is to just say, well, by the time the Supreme Court even looks at this, it'll be 2028 or 2029. So let's just push unlawful maps because the American people absolutely hate Donald Trump right now. Donald Trump's approval in the latest Gallup poll and the latest YouGov polls. I mean, it's anywhere from 37% to about 40%. Reuters, Ipsos, right around there. I mean, he is detested and despised. On issues like inflation, he's like negative 30 approval. On issues of immigration, he's like negative 30 on all of these issues, he's very much underwater. And I just think it's important that we highlight again, like, we're better than this as the United States of America. You know, Donald Trump covering up the Epstein files. I'm going to do a lot more videos on Trump's Epstein connections. But you know, the Congress recently, the House of Representatives controlled by maga. I'll do a video on this either today or tomorrow. They've negotiated with Ghislaine Maxwell to delay her deposition sometime after September, maybe October, after the Supreme Court hears her petition. This is after Donald Trump gave her immunity. I mean, the GOP is the guardians of the pedos, and it's sick to see. Anyway, tell me what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers. Thanks, Ground News check them out there.
