That war could have escalated in something much better. That could have been a world war. I think if we didn't come, Ukraine, Russia would have ended up being a world war. And I stopped that. That stopped. Now the only question is, when is it going to be settled? And it could be very soon, but when is it going to be? But that would have been a world war if I didn't come along with a very talented group of people sitting largely right here. But there are others not in the room that are very talented. I think Russia, Ukraine would have had a very high degree. I think even probably would have ended up being in a world war again.

Just so utterly pathetic. I'm going to do a video in about 90 minutes on this, so check back in. But like you have countries like Canada, Japan and others building up their military right now and quickly. We're dealing with fast military builds up quadruple the budgets of the military and moving away from American weaponry as well. Recognizing, look, America is moving under Trump towards Russia. And so Canada, Japan, others need to protect themselves against China, they need to protect themselves against Russia as the United States gets increasingly weak. So yesterday Prime Minister Carney in Ontario held a meeting, I'll cover it in a little bit with Air Force members, talked about increasing their pay, increasing the, the Air Force there. Also another Canadian story I'm going to cover in 90 minutes the equivalent of the Canadian Girl Scouts called the girl guides, about 60,000 of them not coming to the United States. Terrified of the United States and Trump's behavior, his attacks on Canadian sovereignty, the attacks on people from other countries. You know, it was just an interesting thing. The research tool that I use is called Ground News and it's just interesting that right wing media is not covering at all the buildup of militaries across the world in response to counteract Donald Trump or they're not covering at all that the Canadian Girl Scout, 60,000 of them, not coming to the United States. At the same time we have tourism from Canada down 32 to 40% into the United States, causing massive harm to the American economy. Based on Donald Trump's behavior, we're feeling that pain in our economy. But the right wing media is not going to cover that. So I use Ground News just to say is the right one covering this? Is the left one cover it. You ask me what research tools I use. I use Ground News. If you want to use the tools that I use, you can tell them I sent you. Go to ground news MTN. I asked them if I can get you a 40% off the plan that I use. It's called the Vantage Plan. They gave me the thumbs up. Scan the QR code or go to ground news slash MTN. Get 40% off the tools that I use. The Vantage Plan, you can check out if you have any blind spots when it comes to some of the stories out there, what the right wing is covering, what left wing is covering. Ground News is subscriber funded. They don't rely on ads. They support our work. So go and check them out. Ground news, slash MTN, get that 40% off. You know, one of the things that happened yesterday as well, Donald Trump fired his IRS commissioner. Remember this guy over here, Billy Long. Billy Long got fired. Donald Trump's gone through, what is it, 1, 2, 3, 4. He's gone through. Six IRS commissioners have been fired. Six have been fired in the past six months. And guess who Donald Trump appointed as the IRS commissioner? Treasury Secretary. The Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant. In addition to being Treasury Secretary, he's going to be the IRS commissioner. Now, we've literally had more people as IRS commissioners in the past six months than we have on that position since 2010. But that's the Trump regime for you. Meanwhile, India pausing purchases of US Arms. India canceling visits to the United States. India setting meetings with China as Donald Trump pushes India in that direction, pushes our, you know, people who were countries we were trying to court and who we had complicated relationships with, but we don't want them to be closer to Russia and China right now. They're going to become closer to Russia and China. As Putin continues to outmaneuver and play Donald Trump. Here's when Donald Trump was asked, is Zelensky going to have to give up territory? And then Donald Trump said, yeah, it was just going to be some swapping. Just some swapping. Everybody here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (12:21)

President Zelinsky has to get all of his, everything he needs because he's going to have to get ready to sign something. And I think he is working hard to get that done. Well, you're looking at territory that's been fought over for three and a half years with, you know, a lot of Russians have died, a lot of Ukrainians have died. So we're looking at that. But we're actually looking to get some back and some swapping. It's complicated. It's actually nothing easy. It's very complicated. But we're going to get some back. We're going to get some, some switched. There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both. And, but we'll be talking about that either later or tomorrow or whatever.

And look, folks, as that's happening, too, what's, you know, what's going on domestically here? I mean, the Washington Post headline captures it. Cars, coffee, clothing, school supplies. They're getting pricier. Inflation surging right now. I think we're soon gonna see not just over 3% inflation. I think we're gonna surge past 3 and get to 4% inflation pretty soon. Everyday items are gonna start to cost more. The impact of the tariff It's a lagging indicator. No one said it was gonna happen on day one, but it's a lagging indicator. We're gonna start seeing those inflation Number rise. Clothing, 37%. More expensive shoes. Bags, 39%. Food at least 3%, but heading up produce, 7%. Cars, 12%. That is happening, folks. And while all of that's happening, Trump continues to build concentration camps. Here's the new facility in El Paso, Texas. You see it right there. They call it Fort Bliss. Alligator, Alcatraz, Fort Bliss. Two of the concentration camps. I mean, look at this. In this photo. Looks like Nazi Germany. I mean, that's, that's what the United States essentially has become under the Trump, uh, Gestapo right there. But the Trump propaganda network. I'll do a video on this as well. Keep checking back every 90 minutes. I'm gonna do some good videos this morning, some powerful videos this morning. Here's this guy, Steve Moore, um, this kind of wacko economist who's a big Trump MAGA guy. What do you want me to say, Donald? And he's like, you know what? The economy's booming. They call Trump the working class president. It's booming, everybody. Things are great here. Play this clip using the levers of.

Billions of dollars of investment flow in the United States. That's. Kellyanne. That's going to mean millions of jobs for Americans for working. That's why they call them the working class president, because that's going to create jobs in factories and manufacturing and technology. So I'm very impressed with what's going on right now. I'm super bullish.

Oh. As one count notes, I'm trying to imagine being this dumb to believe this, but my imagination is not that good. And then California Governor Gavin Newsom, fighting back, held a press conference yesterday saying, look, if Texas does its unlawful gerrymandering, we'll put a trigger on it will gerrymander in California. We'll do the same thing Texas is doing. If they do it, we're going to do it, and we're going to fight back. We don't want to do it, but if Texas is going to do it, we, we can't back down. We got to fight. Here's California Governor Newsom.

Gavin Newsom (15:47)

Let's play the leader of our congressional delegation. They are unanimous and their support of moving in this direction of the speaker and the pro tem and they strong support of their caucuses and leaders of critical committees. Caucus are here to express support. We are moving forward. Make no mistake. California is moving forward as a state that's larger than 21 state populations combined. We are not a small isolated state state larger than 21 population. We tried to play by a higher set of standards and rules with our independent redistricting and we believe in that. And we are not talking about eliminating that commission. We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what's happening in Texas. And we will nullify what happens in Texas.
