Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile now. I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.

terms Good morning everyone. Busy morning. Update. Russia is allegedly threatening to invade and attack Poland to test NATO's resolve. All while Pete Hexet, the Secretary of Defense, planned on pulling out American troops out of European countries. And while we don't know if the President of the United States would support Article 5 in NATO if Russia were to attack. At the same time, officials are growing concerned about not just the health of the attendees but but the health of the President of the United States, who is now 80 years old as he gives a speech on the National Mall in record breaking heat during Fourth of July celebrations tomorrow. As it currently stands, D.C. is the hottest city in the United States of America and is hotter than 99% of the world. The only place is hotter, the Sahara Desert. All while we're learning that the Air Force is launching a significant investigation into Major Major Watson. Jason Watson, the first active duty service member to call for President Trump's impeachment. We have EPC news and more. I have all the latest. Make sure to like, comment, share and if you can subscribe to my substack link below to support my work. We're not going to do reporting. I actually find it kind of crazy. I've seen more reporting from some outlets on Taylor Swift's wedding than I have on the fact that the administration engaged in likely misappropriating of funds and wire fraud related to America. 250 more reporting on Taylor Swift's wedding than the arrest of Major Watson, the first service member to call for Trump's impeachment. We don't do that here. We focus on the facts and the stories that you need to know about and just some personal news. CNN called me, an independent journalist today in their reporting over my video that I shared concerning the stage falling apart that really upset those around the White House, the fact that I shared it. So big milestone for me today, which is exciting. I want to begin by talking about the extreme heat that the country is facing. This is the country today. 7:00am It's 89 degrees in Washington D.C. it is hotter in Washington, D.C. than in any other city across America right now. And it will be hotter in Washington, D.C. hotter than any other city across America during the Fourth of July celebrations. Just for perspective, today the only places hotter than D.C. are the deserts in Africa, the deserts in the Middle east, and some deserts in Asia, including the Sahara Desert. D.C. is hotter than 99% of the world. Only 1% of the planet is hotter than Washington, D.C. and as we currently speak, there is growing concern about not just the health of those attending, but also the health of the President. Officials are warning that the extreme heat gripping Washington, D.C. poses a serious health risk. During the America 250 celebrations, temperatures are expected to top 100 degrees and heat index values reaching as high as 111 degrees. Emergency officials have expanded medical staffing, first aid stations, ambulances, hydration stations, cooling measures amid concerns that attendees could suffer heat related illnesses or even die from prolonged exposure. The dangerous conditions have already disrupted events with one fairgoer requiring medical treatment or dunking themselves in the baptism pool. There is also heightened attention on President Trump, who is 80 years old and plans to give a lengthy outdoor speech despite the dangerous temperatures. So we will see. I will be watching the speech and all of the Fourth of July festivities so that you don't have to and I will report it back to you. At the same time today we're learning that the United States has warned Warsaw, Poland that Russia is planning an armed provocation against Poland to test NATO's resolve. The assault could see Poland's vital infrastructure targeted by missiles or drones or even Russian soldiers invading boots on the ground into NATO territory. Sources close to Polish President Carol Nowki told Polish outlet ONET that the aim of the assault would be to provoke tensions and pressure Western allies to suspend military and financial aid to Ukraine. The US Systematically informs Poland about every new Russian plans for a conventional attack on NATO's eastern flank, from which Poland is by no means excluded. And it comes as Trump is attacking NATO and the question is, if Russia were to invade Poland tomorrow, will the United States stand up for Poland? And the answer is, we don't know. Article 5 of NATO requires that the United States get involved immediately and protect Poland and essentially go to war against Russia. When one country is attacked in NATO, all countries are attacked in NATO. That's the premise of Article 5. But Trump has spent the past 24 hours attacking NATO, suggesting that the United States should not continue this one sided path when the relationship is not reciprocal. Once again saying that the United States spends more money on NATO than on other countries to protect them without getting any benefit to do so. And it all comes as we learn that Defense Secretary Pete Hexseth was planning to head to Brussels, Belgium, NATO headquarters last month to deliver a bombshell announcement. The US Is preparing additional cuts to forces in Europe that would go beyond the canceled deployment of an armored brigade to Poland and the earlier withdrawal of an infantry brigade from Romania. Hexit's proposal was nixed after it was shared with Marco Rubio, not just Trump's Secretary of State, but his National Security Advisor as well. Right now, NATO is on shaky grounds, and it's unclear whether or not the United States would support and defend NATO if the time came. A story that not many people are covering is the arrest of Major Watson. And we're now learning that the Air Force is officially investigating Major Watson for possible court martial, according to the Secretary of the Air Force. He says he is aware of recent reports of an Air Force officer protesting at the United States Capitol. Let me be clear. I expect every airman and guardian to comply with all laws and policies governing personnel conduct, police, political participation, and the wear of the uniform. Americans place their trust in us. We cannot and will not compromise the trust of the nation. Good order and discipline are critical to the DAF's mission. And rigorously maintaining the highest standards of conduct on and off duty are an absolute must for all airmen and guardians. Department takes allegations of misconduct seriously, including any that might undermine the nonpartisan nature of our military. Pursuant to a thorough investigation which will proceed unimpeded, commanders will ensure appropriate disposition when holding service members accountable in accordance with military law and due process. I would expect that he will be charged in a court martial setting. It moves a lot quicker than a traditional court, so we'll have to see what happens there. We also got Epstein news. In response to Katie Fang's lawsuit, the Justice Department now says that it will decline to release additional unredacted Epstein files by the court order deadline, arguing that the remaining materials contain sensitive victim information or properly withheld under the law, asking 60 days for delay or for the judge to accept the DOJ's explanation of the redactions, including emails, handwritten notes and portions of a 2007 draft indictment that was never actually released to the public. We'll see what Judge Emmett Sullivan says. I would predict that he would not be too happy about this response, so that's where we're at right now. Today, Donald Trump is heading to Mount Rushmore where he is scheduled to give a speech. I predict that he's going to call for Congress to put his face on Mount Rushmore. We'll see if my prediction is accurate, but there have been rumblings that the president is seeking to change up the American landmark in South Dakota. Tomorrow will be the Fourth of July. I'll be covering it all day for you. If you are in Washington, D.C. i have received emergency bulletins. Stay indoors because the air quality from the fireworks is scheduled to be worse than a severe wildfire. Stay indoors, protect your lungs, protect yourself, and I'll see you soon with another update.
