See full terms@mintmobile.com Good afternoon everyone. A busy Friday afternoon is in the books. I have a lot to cover for you. From Trump passports to Republican fears of investigations and impeachment with Mike Johnson warning that he hopes the heavens come down essentially and give Republicans the House majority. Because if they don't, then Republicans, the Trump family will be subject to non stop investigations, impeachment and more. Trump launches war against communism. He also launches war against Iran as the United States has begun strikes on Iran once again following Iranian targeting of US Commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz. The Great America State Fair isn't doing so hot. And we learned today that American taxpayers actually footed the bill for African marble cut in Italy that Donald Trump specifically requested for renovations made in and around the Oval Office. And well, when those renovations were made, they had to cut places that money came from. The National Park Service employees lost their jobs. So lots to cover right now. Make sure to like, comment, share and as always, please consider subscribing to my substack link below to support my work as we build independent media. I want to begin by talking about Mike Johnson's urgent warning to Republicans at a prayer lunch today where he essentially came out and said the quiet part out loud. If Republicans lose the House of Representatives in November, the President, his family, his companies, his associates will be subject to non stop investigation and potentially even impeachment. Take a listen to what Johnson had to say.

I am on the ballot because in a real sense he is. If we were, we were to lose the midterms. Heaven forbid these Democrats, y'.
D
All.
A
Impeachment's not even the big concern. They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they'll go after the President's family, the Cabinet, his donors and friends. Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you.
C
Okay?
A
We're going to win the midterm. Okay? All right. I'll leave you.
C
That's his clear warning and he Says we're going to win the midterm. But if you look at polling right now, polling suggests that Democrats have an advantage. Obviously, polls don't vote, people do. So we'll have to see how the next several months play out. We are very close to the midterms. We're now just less than five months away from the midterm elections. Time is going to fly, and we're going to see what happens. Now, there's going to be a whole host of claims of fraud if Donald Trump loses. Right? But it doesn't really make much sense. He has the White House, he has the House, he has the Senate. Where is the fraud coming from? And that's what Congressman Thomas Massie asked folks to today, the SAVE Act. But I think it's a distraction from our real problems.
A
I think it's ironic that we control the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court and the White House, and we're yelling election fraud. I mean, we won all the damn elections.
C
We won all the damn elections and we're screaming, election fraud. This is regarding the push for the Save America act, which Trump has really upended Congress over. The housing bill has not been signed yet. It will become law in the next week or so, because if a president doesn't sign a bill passed by both houses of Congress, it automatically becomes law 10 days after being presented to the White House. But it has still upended work for those inside Congress. Now, speaking of where your taxpayer dollars are going, this is where your taxpayer dollars are going. Today, Trump announced USA's new passport, which apparently says, quote, welcome, but be good. President DJT Anywhere from 20 to 30,000 of these passports, potentially more, will be printed as part of celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. As you can see on the side, on the right side, it says United States of America with gold 250. Above it is a picture of the framers signing the Declaration of Independence. On the left, you have President Trump over what appears to be a desk, potentially the Resolute desk, in the Oval Office. His signature underneath. These passports will be paid for by you, the American taxpayer, even if you're not one to receive them, because they're going to cost money to print and produce about 30,000 of them, I believe only in the Washington, D.C. passport office, although knowing this president, anything could very well change. And when we talk about taxpayer dollars, we talk about money that American taxpayers are paying into the system. Part. Part of that goes to the National Park Service. But we're learning today that with all the struggles at the National Park Service, there have been cuts made to various national park programs, including, but not limited to employees. Employees working for the Park Service. And, well, what do we pay instead? We paid for the marble that went outside of the Oval Office. The pathway that connects the White House residents to the Oval Office has now been paved in Tennessee Flagstone, every president since Harry Truman made the 45 second commute without complaint. Until Donald Trump. Trump didn't want Tennessee Flagstone. He wanted polished African granite carved in Italy with a flamed finish stripe slightly raised to prevent slips running down the middle. He told reporters back in March that it was paid for by him. That wasn't true. Budget documents for the National Park Service obtained by the Atlantic shows that the walkway replacement cost anywhere from about $689,000 for taxpayers. And as part of a $1.3 million project that included repairing adjacent stone and masonry and providing new hardware for nearby doors. A year earlier, in a separate rush project at the request of the President of the United States, the Park Service spent $347,000 to remove and replace the stucco on the colonnade wall, a project that cleared the way for Trump to affix the gold plaques and frames of his predecessors. Well, it comes at a time where the National Park Service is struggling. Taxpayer spending on projects in the national capital region has increased 92% over the past year. For the National Park Service. That's led to parks having to cancel needed repairs, slashing their budget, and operating with fewer employees. One of those projects is the Great America State Fair, and, well, today it's not doing so hot. This is what folks going to the Great American State Fair say they received $27 for this burger. Food hall at the Great American State Fair has lost power. All of their ice cream melted. Your taxpayer dollars will also soon be going to the 4th of July air show, which, according to Donald Trump, will be the biggest by far in the history of the United States of America. Hundreds of planes of different type, size and speeds will be on display Starting at 1:15pm in the afternoon on 4th of July going, I believe that's 10 hours to 11:30pm in the evening. He'll be speaking on taxpayer dime preceding fireworks, which he says will be 10 times larger than any fireworks in the history of our country. So if you like airplanes and fireworks and President Trump, be there. In other news, we have major Epstein developments. As I've reported throughout the day, Leon Black, the founder and former CEO of Apollo Global Management, has been subpoenaed by Congress after he refused to answer questions in their Epstein probe. We also have major news regarding Pete Buttigieg. Pete Buttigieg, the former Secretary of Transportation, says that he was a target of a false anonymous report, prompting Michigan State Police and Child Protective Services to investigate whether he posed a danger to his four year old twins. Authorities deemed the allegations unfounded. They were fake, but Buddha Judge said that he was instructed not to be alone with his children until investigators completed forensic interviews, forcing him to spend the night away from them. Police later told him they believed the report was politically motivated and would not be referred for prosecution. He's called it one of the darkest moments of his life and said it reflected an escalation of politically motivated attacks on him. He literally they doxxed him by calling Child Protective Services someone who didn't agree with him politically. That's not what we do in the United States of America. It's abhorrent and it's wrong.

The Parnas Perspective
Episode: Republicans Fear Impeachment for Trump!
Host: Aaron Parnas
Date: June 26, 2026
In this episode, Aaron Parnas delves into the latest whirlwind of political and legal developments surrounding the Trump administration and the Republican Party. Central themes include Republican fears over potential investigations and impeachment if they lose control of Congress, controversial government spending under President Trump, fresh developments in high-profile legal cases, and the landscape of politically motivated attacks on public figures. Parnas draws from legal, political, and insider perspectives, breaking down the day's most urgent and revealing stories.
Mike Johnson’s Candid Warning
Parnas leads off with House Speaker Mike Johnson’s stark message at a prayer lunch: Republicans must hold the House or risk a deluge of investigations and impeachment proceedings aimed at Trump and his circle.
“If Republicans lose the House of Representatives in November, the President, his family, his companies, his associates will be subject to non-stop investigation and potentially even impeachment.”
— Aaron Parnas (00:57) recapping Johnson
Direct Audio from Mike Johnson (House Speaker) at Prayer Lunch
Notable passage (01:45):
“If we were to lose the midterms. Heaven forbid these Democrats... Impeachment’s not even the big concern. They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they'll go after the President’s family, the Cabinet, his donors and friends. Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you. We’re going to win the midterm. OK?”
— Mike Johnson (02:12–02:31)
Parnas highlights the “protection program” language as both unusual and telling about the anxieties within Republican leadership.
Parnas’s Analysis on the “Save America Act” and Fraud Discourse
Parnas points out the contradiction in Republican rhetoric about fraud, given their control of the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court.
“Where is the fraud coming from? ... We won all the damn elections and we’re screaming election fraud.”
— Aaron Parnas (03:02, summarizing Rep. Thomas Massie)
Clip from Rep. Thomas Massie
“I think it’s ironic that we control the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court and the White House, and we're yelling election fraud. I mean, we won all the damn elections.”
— Rep. Thomas Massie (03:15)
Parnas frames this as a distraction tactic amid more pressing legislative gridlock.
Controversial Spending on White House Renovations
Parnas details revelations about taxpayer-funded purchases for Trump’s aesthetic preferences, spotlighting how this spending cut into vital government services.
Highlights:
Quote:
“Every president since Harry Truman made the 45 second commute without complaint. Until Donald Trump.”

State Fair and More Extravagance
The Great America State Fair, a Trumpian initiative, is losing money and making headlines for over-priced, lackluster concessions (e.g., a $27 burger), failed infrastructure (lost power, melted ice cream), and more federal funds diverted to pageantry.
