Poland was under invasion last night as Donald Trump was eating out at Joe's Seafood restaurant in Washington, D.C. and people were booing him and calling him the modern day Hitler. Donald Trump didn't address anything about the invasion last night into Poland. This is the first time in history that a NATO ally of the United States was attacked by a foreign power like Russia. But here's what Donald Trump's statement is this morning. What's with Russia violating Poland's airspace with drones? Here we go, here we go. That's your statement. I can show you a statement from a real leader like Prime Minister Carney, who goes Russia's incursion into Polish airspace last night was reckless and escalatory. Canada stands with Poland and our NATO allies. We are closely coordinating with them and we will remain vigilant against Russia's attempts to widen and prolong the conflict with Ukraine. Putin is demonstrating once again his total disregard for the path of peace. Russia's actions following a week of brutal attacks on Ukrainian civilians underscore the importance of our steadfast support for Ukraine. To bring lasting peace to Ukraine and Europe, we must increase the pressure on Putin to end this war. And so contrast that, of course, to Donald Trump's post. What's with Russia violating Poland's airspace with drones? Here we go again. It's just utterly humiliating and weak. Uh, but that's Donald. Then Donald Trump post the following just out. No inflation. Too late. Must lower the rate big right now. Powell is a total disaster. Who doesn't have a clue? President DJT Right, everybody. We all know inflation's gone when we go to the grocery stores and when we buy things. Everything is so cheap right now. It's a golden age, everybody. I'm being sarcastic, of course. What do you mean there's no inflation? Things are significantly higher right now. Just an absurd statement right there that he is making. And look, economic times may be great for Donald Trump in the oligarchs. Donald Trump sells a new crypto and then he makes billions of dollars for his family on the World Liberty Financial token, even though I would view its release, in my opinion, as an utter failure. But other people who may be under investigation by Donald Trump helped prop it up. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans launching Club Rose Garden, a new elite club for the oligarchical cabal where they destroyed our Rose Garden at the White House. And now all the rich elites just party and dine off of our taxpayer money and have entertainment that we the people pay for. So maybe great for them, but not for we the people. And I think Donald Trump recognizes that American people hate his policies. I did a video earlier this morning about how the people of Iowa are turning against him. But you go and look at farmers in Arkansas and elsewhere, everyone knows that Donald Trump is screwing the American people. And there's more bankruptcies now than really in any recent generation. And the jobs report numbers that have just came out end of last week, again, one of the worst jobs reports in a generation. The last time it was really that bad was the height of COVID and then before that during The Great Recession, 2008, 2009. But here's what Donald Trump's posting celebrating the gerrymandering effort in Missouri. So getting rid of all Democratic seats across the country while sending American military to invade Democratic cities and Democratic states and removing the Democratic congressional districts. And so Missouri's governor called a special legislative session. They did the same to eliminate the Democratic seats there the same way Texas did. California, of course, has had to respond and say look, because of what they're doing in these red states, we're going to change our map as well, purely in response to what the MAGA Republicans are doing. And that's what Governor Newsom has announced. And the ballot initiative is this November. Just so you see the map right here as well, where you can see the scale of Russia's attack on Ukraine and Poland last night. President Zelensky of Ukraine is talking about it. There may have been about 380 Russian drones of various types. At least 250 of them were the Shahad or Shahid drones. That, that's the drones that they get from Iran. Those were the ones going into western Ukraine, eastern Poland, violating the sovereignty of a NATO nation. And again, very weak response from Donald Trump. And as the Financial Times says, if Putin's intention was to use an early morning drone foray into Poland to test NATO's air defenses, the Russian president would be most pleased with the result. And experts warn he will probably be encouraged to go further next time. And the response from Donald Trump was what's with the we like a Jerry Seinfeld stand up routine? What's with the Russia invading the airspace of Ukraine? Here we go, everybody. Here we go. What are you talking about, man? You're the president. Behave like a grown up and look at how Prime Minister Carney responded. What are we doing to help and support NATO? Actually, what the Trump regime did, as evidenced by JD Vance right here going on Matt Gaetz's OAN show, is as Russia was attacking Poland, The Trump stooges, J.D. vance and others were going on and saying, we need more economic relations with Russia. We need to help Russia, we need to strengthen our economic ties with Russia, sending the exact wrong message. Here's J.D. vance. Let's play it. Sources have told me that Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that sanctions relief could result in Russia moving more of their energy commodities in the US Dollar, functionally giving Russia and the United States a lot of control over US Energy markets that could lower energy costs for Americans. Do you see economic cooperation with Russia as one of the things that could bring an end to some of the hostilities that we want to see concluded? Yeah, Matt, absolutely. And it's one of the carrots that we've thrown out there. And the president's been very open with both the Europeans and the Russians that he doesn't see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia except for the continuation of the conflict. He wants the killing to stop. And then on the other side of peace, he's very open to A whole host of economic arrangements that are beneficial to the United States of America. I mean, let's be honest. Whether you like or dislike Russia, whether you agree or disagree with their underlying arguments for the conflict, the simple fact is they've got a lot of oil, they've got a lot of gas, they've got a lot of mineral wealth. And here was Pete Hegseth this morning claiming that secret conversations took place from people in the Venezuelan region who told him that they were very happy that he killed and that the United states government killed 11 people purportedly on a fishing boat off the coast of Venezuela that the Trump regime said was trend Iragua with cocaine that they claim was headed towards the United States. Should be noted. New York Times reporting today actually said that the boat was turning around, heading back towards Venezuela. Was previously noted by Marco Rubio that the boat was not going to the United States. It was going to Trinidad. Then they changed the story and said it was going to the United States. Looked to be a 16 foot to 24 footer, maybe slightly bigger, but right in that range, I would say 24ft from a lot of boat. Experts have been telling me looked more like a 24 footer than a 16. Okay. Still doesn't have enough fuel to get anywhere near the United States going at that pace, but nonetheless, the United States government just blew it up. And here's what people, Pete Hegsett said this morning. Let's play application of American power to send very clear signals that narco terrorism will not be tolerated in our hemisphere. And if you want to traffic drugs that are headed for the United States, we're not doing it with kid gloves anymore. Talk to me about your allies, the other countries that are helping you out here. The region has, has welcomed it very much so a lot publicly, many privately saying, thank you, thank you for addressing something that's been obvious for us for far too long. And so we anticipate a growing chorus of V to say, hey, we welcome America here. This is the Americas. And we've suffered from narco terrorism directly. Again, that's not why we're doing it. This is America first. This is protecting American citizens. But wherever we can bring allies along, we're proud to do so. But I've officially found my favorite summer shirt. And I've got to tell y' all about poncho. Imagine a shirt that feels like your favorite tee, is built for the outdoors and still looks sharp enough for dinner out. That is the magic of poncho. I've been living in mine all summer. Chilling at the beach in the morning, running errands in the afternoon, grabbing drinks at night. And it holds up all day long. I don't know what kind of fabric Poncho uses, but it just feels good. Lightweight, breathable, dries fast, and that vented back is just the best. When it's hot and humid, it's soft, straight out of the box, and has just the right amount of stretch. Looks wise these shirts deliver. Clean collar, neat sleeves. Holds its shape, and it fits perfectly whether you go regular or slim. I went with the slim fit, and it is tailored without being tight. Plus there's a sunglasses loop by the chest pocket, a hidden zipper pocket pocket for your phone or cash, and even a microfiber cloth sewn into the hem to clean your shades. Smart details, no fluff. Poncho's got a bunch of great styles. The original Western denim and ultralight. You could get them in short or long sleeves, regular, slim fit, and in a ton of colors and patterns. If you've been looking for the perfect shirt, something breathable that fits great, feels even better, and stands out in a good way, give Poncho a try.

And then you have Tom Homan, the border czar, as he's called, who's, you know, really just carrying out the Gestapo Nazi like tactics of the regime. And Barney, he gives Barney Rubble a bad name, this guy, and he goes, I'm gonna tell the Boston mayor that we're coming for you, Boston Mayor, we're coming for you. We're going to send our ICE troops to put guns in people's faces as we make people want. That's my Tom Homan impression. Slightly inappropriate. I don't know. You tell me what you think about the Tom Homan impression. Let's play it. The mayor continues to resist the governor as well. Michelle Wu just advanced in the primary. Is this what the voters want? I mean, 70% is a high number. Of course, this is not the general election, but she has a ton of support in Boston even though she protects these criminal migrants. That's incredible. But I don't care who the mayor is. We're going to do our job. If mayors and governors don't want to help, then get out of the way. Because if you don't want to make your city safer, we will Because I'm not saying every illegal alien is a significant public safety threat, but many are. So there's a percentage of those criminals that are here illegally. We're coming for them. They're not going to stop us. They can stand aside and watch us do their job. However, they better not step over the line, they better not impede our efforts or there's going to be consequences. Pam, Bonnie's been all over this for the last few weeks. So we're coming. We're going to be there tomorrow, we're going to be there next day, we're going to be there next month, we're going to be there next year. You're not stopping for what we're doing. We're making this country safer every day. And we got a lot of work to do. So, Tommy, I did a massive bust because here's what's actually happening on the street. This is right where I very close to where I live in Van Nuys, California. You'll see what happened when ICE agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Take a look at this playing out today. One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on so called roving immigration patrols. This video, a federal agent swarming a car and detaining people at gunpoint was captured in a Van Nuys parking lot this morning with weapons drawn. Federal agents walk toward the driver's side of this red vehicle in a van eyes parking lot. Luis tells us he was in the area when he saw what was happening and began to film. That's when I saw this chaos. Guns drawn, everything. The girl was there screaming like, oh, like, why are you guys pointing guns at us? We're not doing anything. That's when they got closed. They break the window. They dragged the guys out. And then the female, she said she was pregnant, but they were just all these guys gang up on her. A man who identified himself as a friend of some of the people in the car did not want to go on camera, but said the two men are lawful permanent residents and that the woman is a US Citizen. On the passenger side, an agent points his gun at a woman who said, if you touch me, I'm suing you. She then steps out of the car. This comes one day after the Supreme Court lifted a federal judge's temporary ban on the Department of Homeland Security's so called roving patrols, which have been denounced as unconstitutional and carried out through racial profiling. Like many others documenting the aggressive sweeps and arrests, Luis said he wanted to film as evidence. They're always doing something they're not supposed to do. So what, we need witnesses, we need, we need people recording because, oh, we didn't do, you know what? We got you on tape, bro. Because all this, they do a bunch of stuff they're not supposed to by the book. The man who says he knows some of the people in the car says the woman was released and that the two men are in immigration custody. And then if you want a data point about the economy right now, here's what Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of Chase, has to say. Here, play this clip. I didn't know about the number. You know, I think the economy is weakening. You know, whether that is on the way to recession or just weakening, I don't know. And that just confirms what we already thought kind of, I know, big revision. So I, those are big revisions. I believe it's the biggest going back to 2000. And the day after you and I sat down and North Carolina about a month ago was the day that President Trump fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And since then, there have been some questions around, you know, politicization of the data. And since you operate such a sprawling bank and you have unique insights, do you see any gaps between the numbers that the government's putting out and what you see within your own firm? And are you increasingly relying more on the numbers that you see within your own firm? No, we, we get, we get data like you wouldn't believe. The government data is important. Our own data is important. We get data from non government sources and you know, you can look at delinquency data, worldwide data, trade data, we get all of that. But trying to figure out what the economy is going to do is still hard to do with all that data. And maybe one day I'll fix that problem. But, you know, hopefully things will be okay. And, but you do see that kind of weakening, unfortunately. And finally, MAGA Republican Congress member Pete Sessions says that he's, he doesn't believe that signature on the birthday card belongs to Donald Trump. And they're gonna have to really look, look at maybe who is gathering signatures of Donald Trump at this time. For 20 years ago, folks, the Epstein Estate were planning 20 years ahead and they said let's bury the Trump birthday card to Epstein in the birthday book when Trump was friends with him and would have said happy birthday, ha ha. And let's put it with all these other wealthy men who were friends with Epstein and other people, let's slip it there for 20 years later. It will surface, everybody. And then the deep state with a deep state will get Trump. I mean, it's so stupid. I mean, it's his signature. He was friends with Epstein. He's clearly covering up horrific acts with Epstein, in my opinion. Here's what Pete Sessions says. Let's play. The president's probably worked through this a long time ago. They had the knowledge, they had the data, they had the information. He can draw a conclusion after six months. I have not drawn that conclusion yet. Does it look like his signature to you on the bottom of that letter? You know, we're looking at that. We're also looking at people who are gathering together his signature at the time and that's what we need to pay attention to. We've been get provide the information. Now what we need to do is draw our own conclusion. So to you, it's an open question about whether that's his signature on this document. Well, evidently the President, who was not under oath, stated it was not his. The White House has stated that. So we will start from that perspective unless proven up otherwise. But this is simply a small part of the entire questions we need to, we need to put together this information. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching. The truth is more important than ever. Check out our new Truth over lies collection@store.midas touch.com All 100 USA Union made SAM.
