Good morning everyone. It is a very busy morning of news right now that you need to be aware of from space data centers more than a million that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk want to throw up in space that experts say could completely destroy the ozone layer. To the prosecution of Special Counsel Jack Smith, the prosecution that Republicans are urgently pushing right now. A criminal referral has been sent to the Department of Justice. And this morning Trump officially endorsed the prosecution to Republicans, sneaking in a provision regarding the SAVE act in the massive NDAA Pentagon spending go that passed yesterday to Brent crude oil prices soaring and so much more. I have the latest for you right now. Like Comment, Share, get the word out and if you can subscribe to my substack link below to support my work to build independent media. A lot of you have asked what I'm doing tomorrow for White House correspondence. I am boycotting. I am not going. I don't believe that we should be celebrating a President who continues to attack the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and the freedom of press and so I won't be there. One other note today, I'm not sure how many updates I'll be able to get out. I am fasting 25 hours, no food or water for a Jewish holiday and my 4 month old daughter, who is sitting right in front of me and it's where we're taking her to work again today, is going through a sleep regression and so we have not slept in several days. So with all that being said, I want to get into the news because the big news right now that a lot of people have messaged me about and are worried about is the SAVE Act. And yes, it is true, Republicans successfully passed a SAVE act, or at least parts of it in yesterday's ndaa. They snuck in SAVE act provisions into various massive spending packages, but they're not likely to pass the Senate and let me explain why. So first, here's what they passed. They passed a $95 billion budget framework that includes $10 billion in election related grants over the course of 10 years. The grants would encourage states to adopt voting restrictions resembling the Save America Act. The package also includes funding for the war in Iran, assistance for farmers. House committees still actually have to write the final legislation. So the act exact provisions remain uncertain. But the SAVE act is not going to pass the Senate and there are not enough votes in the Senate. Republicans in the Senate already said there are not enough votes to do it. Well, why There is a process that they're going through. It's called reconciliation. We've heard that word a lot and unfortunately we've had to hear that word a lot because reconciliation is the process by which a majority party in the United States Congress passes legislation by a majority vote. They don't need to get 60 votes in the Senate, they just need 50 votes. And the reason why is they There's a special rule called reconciliation for spending related bills, bills that give money out to agencies to keep the government running, etc. Previously they try to sneak in the SAVE act through the reconciliation in the United States Senate. The parliamentarian who decides whether or not certain pieces of legislation comply with reconciliation rules said the SAVE act doesn't comply because it's not a spending bill, it's an election related bill. And so here, once again, all of these provisions, they're not spending provisions, they're election related provisions. And they don't have the support in the United States Senate. And while Trump even acknowledges that, saying that if this doesn't pass and if they don't get rid of the filibuster, you're going to see him cry, Democrats

Donald Trump (quoted)
are going to terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance. And then they're going to approve Puerto Rico and D.C. as a state. They got four more senators. They're going to end up with 12 more congressmen. They're going to get like 40 electoral votes if they are allowed to do that. By that time, I'll be sitting home. And I'm not a big crier. I don't think you want to see me cry. You know, there are some people, they do very well when they cry, but you don't want to see me cry. But I may be crying when I, I'll be sitting home and I'll say, I told them they gotta really terminate the filibuster, get everything approved right away.

Now, there is not enough support for terminating the filibuster, but he is making this plea to Republicans in the United States Senate. It comes as he is now endorsing the prosecution of former special counsel Jack Smith. Now, overnight, while you were asleep, House Judiciary Committee chairman referred former Special counsel Smith to the United States Justice Department for a potential criminal investigation. Jordan has accused Smith of intentionally making false statements during a closed door deposition back in December of 2025. The dispute concerns records obtained during Smith's investigations into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Jordan claims Smith's testimony created the false impression that his team never accessed the text message content of lawmakers. The referral is non binding. The DOJ doesn't have to investigate or bring charges. But Trump this morning says, quote, justice at last seemingly endorsing criminal prosecution. But here's the situation. Jack Smith testified that prosecutors did not seek search warrants for the contents of lawmakers messages and obtained only phone toll records. Jordan said recently that Justice Department documents show Smith's team obtained text messages involving 44 members of Congress. Smith's lawyers called the referral meritless and based on distorted interpretation of his testimony. They said that the messages were obtained from the presidential records held by the National Archives, not via search warrant. And Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin denounced the referral and accused Republicans of misrepresenting the facts, he suggested lawmakers were upset because their communications with the White House had become presidential records preserved under the law. Now meanwhile, remember at the beginning of this video when I said data centers from space? Well, it's happening. At least that's what Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk want. Bezos and Musk are putting forth a plan to put over a million data centers, orbital data centers, into orbit. And right now environmental groups and experts are saying that if they are successful in doing this, it would completely potentially decimate the ozone layer, it would hurt the world, the Earth, not just the United States of America, but the entire world. And the FCC has to approve this. It's the Federal Communications Commission under President Trump. They say it's currently considering multiple requests for licensing, quote, extraordinary numbers of satellite based data centers to be placed into low Earth orbit over the next decade. Collectively, the proposals seek to place well over a million data center satellites into orbit, increasing the existing volume of satellites in low Earth orbit by multiple orders of magnitude. The proponents of these proposals describe their plans in grandiose civilization changing terms. But these same proponents have refused to embrace any inquiry into the impacts of their self claimed technology on the environment, science, economy or other values. It's poor planning and a missed opportunity. It violates federal law and experts say that at the end of 2019 there are only about 2200 satellites orbiting Earth. Today there are 15,000 active satellites with another several thousand defunct ones. Collectively, the proposals currently before the FCC represent a potential increase of multiple orders of magnitude, transforming Earth's exosphere and threatening impacts that have never been assessed. Now speaking about impacts, the war in Iran is impacting the price of gas again. The price of oil Brent crude oil has now surpassed $100 for the first time in months since May. And so here we are as the war continues. My daughter is cooing in the back because she wants to participate in this morning's update.
