Or Egloraam Spinard, 750g for only €1.60. A deck of items in your Aldi Nord. Aldi, good for all of them. My name is Alexander. And I've been using this for a long time,

but I've been using this for a lot of time. It's been a long time since I've been using this for a long time.

The most important thing is to have a look at the price of the items.

We're using this for a month and my friend was the one who said, "Look, there are some portal. "I'm going to get a look at the price." And that was the point.

So what I could do is, of course, the first time I've been using this for a month.

Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations just collapsed under cross-examination by Democrats in the House of Representatives in a hearing over Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlawful war on Iran. Let me show you, as Democratic Congress member Ted Liu is cross-examining Mike Waltz, Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations and Liu calls for Waltz's resignation.

Let's play this clip clearly here being exposed to Iranian missiles when they died of missile strikes and drugs. You don't even know how the U.S. troops were wounded in this Iran war. Shame on you, for not even know the basic facts, you are the U.S. ambassador and you don't even know how many U.S. troops were wounded in Iran.

Well, you got that wrong, you should be shameful, you don't know basic facts because

you should resign, you don't even care about the number of U.S. troops that were wounded. One, it was more from this exchange between Congress member Liu and the United States ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz. Let's play it. So, I'm going to ask you again, are U.S. troops carried on U.S. troops currently stationed

in Jordan? Oh, my God. U.S. troops currently, let me show you as Democratic Congress member Ted Liu exposes that Mike Waltz does not even know the amount of U.S. service members who were injured. Let's play this clip.

The service members are in the Middle East, risking their lives in the war with Iran. How many U.S. troops have been wounded in that Iran war? My understanding from the Defense Department's latest numbers is over 100, but about 70% or 90% of those have immediately returned to duty. Okay.

That number is wrong, according to Defense Calgary Analysis System, 482 American troops have been wounded. Now, it's not surprising to me that you did not know they're answered to that. The reason you are here today in your position is because you're fired by the president from your former position as a natural security advisor.

You deserve-- That's the number of U.S. That's the number of U.S. troops who classified information that harmed American pilots in the war. I guess for your next campaign, commercial, I don't know.

More from this powerful cross-examination, let's play it right here.

How many American troops have been killed in the Iran war?

In these ongoing operations, 18. Okay. Now, President Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran's military was obliterated. On March 16th, President Trump stated that Iran's military was, quote, literally obliterated in, quote, "How is it possible that 482 American troops have been wounded and 18

serves members killed by a Iranian military that's been purportedly obliterated?" The Iranian Navy Air Force Air Defense System and Industrial Capacity have been massively damaged if not completely ineffective. But this is a state that is trying to reconstitute. This is a state regime that is obsessed with the nuclear weapon, and it's a regime that still

maintains some missile and drone capability that it's firing on all of its neighbors, including our bases. I think that's a pretty common sense of valuation, but if I need to explain it to you further, I can. You need to explain to American people how any Iranian military that's been purportedly obliterated,

Killed 18-year service members, and wounded 482.

As you know, several of those service members. Let me finish my question, and has struck multiple US facilities in the Middle East repeatedly. Somehow, how utterly horrific that you have Mike Walts tried to downplay the deaths and say, because seven of them died in a plane crash, how utterly horrific is that.

Let me show you more of that first exchange that I played at the beginning of this video.

I'll give you the full context right here. Let's play it. I'm here as the UN ambassador, but I'm happy to refer you to Pete Heggsath, Secretary Heggsath testimony yesterday, and you're opening statement. You forgot about doing a security council resolution on Iran.

So yes, Iran is in your job responsibility, focus on it, and focus on the troops, everyone would in the kill. Do that be so callous with the safety and lies of American troops. I'm gonna ask you again, are US troops carried on US troops currently stationed in Jordan. Oralized, or the US troops currently stationed in Jordan, try to get re-elected.

I will.

You should November is coming for you and this ministry.

Are US troops stationed in Jordan? It's not even a trick question. Are they? Of course they are. Okay.

And if Donald Trump doesn't trust the Jordanians, protect US troops.

Do you trust them? Who are we gonna have protect US troops? They are exposed right now in the Middle East. We clearly hear the exposure of Iranians, this hopes when they die, missiles, strikes and drills.

You don't even know how the US troops were wounded in this Iran war. Shame on you. For not even know the basics of the back ministry. You are the US ambassador, and you don't even know how many US troops were wounded in Iran war.

You got that wrong. You should be shameful.

You don't know basic facts because you should resign.

You don't even care about the number of US troops that were wounded. How many of us know? You did not know how many US troops were wounded. You gave false information to Congress. You should be ashamed of yourself, but not even know how many US troops were wounded.

And the Iranian war. The general's words should be taken. Right. You should not use such derravatory lives for the distinguished ambassador. Seriously, I know you're upset, but you think in the last administration of zero politics

and the worst of it. And he lied to Congress, gave him and flat out false number of minimizing that more of US troops wounded in Iran. Mr. Chancellor. That's what he did.

And his first answer to my question.

It should be recognized that the ambassador is at 20th of February. Thank you. Mr. Smith. Do you have a point of order?

Then we had Democratic Congresswoman McBride cross-examining Mike Walts.

Let me show you what went down here. Let's play it. We have votes, no votes, only send a message to Vladimir Putin that we're not present here. But I want to say what you're reading, Vladimir Putin, with not clubs. You are insulting American allies, including our longstanding ally, Denmark, whose soldiers

fought and died alongside US soldiers. Have you gotten any positive feedback from your colleagues with the United Nations about the president's desire to seize Greenland? As one of the soldiers who fought alongside Danish soldiers and southern Afghanistan, they're a fantastic ally.

At the same time, they were paying very little to zero attention to the Arctic, and they now are. And we are in meaningful negotiations to secure our northern borders. I'll take that to you. I'll take that to you.

Positive feedback. Thank you, I help. I've actually given a lot of positive feedback to the ongoing negotiations show. I'll answer your question. Sure.

If you're looking to feel your best the summer, don't just think skin deep, think a cell deep. That's one of the reasons I like ProLun's five-day fasting mimicking diet.

Then Congress, men, olzolowski, here's what he had to say.

Let's play it. Do you think it's wrong for elected officials and their families to profit from positions of power?

Do I think it's just generally speaking?

You're a personal value, yes sir. I'm pleased to hear that. I guess the question then is how do you swear that circle working for a president who just last year made 20,000 stock trades, including companies who benefit from markets that he is actively manipulating, whether that's through announcing ceasefires, reversing course

and allowing chip exports, or simply promoting these firms on a social media? How can you say it's wrong but be silent as the president's sons benefit from mining deals paid for by U.S. taxpayers, as one of America's top diplomats, both in the former member of Congress. Does that not conflict with your values sir?

Well, let's not talk about Congress in the stock trading that I support a full ban. I think it's wrong for any member to trade that was the question, sir. I hope to see that bill, I'm on the discharge petition. Number one, number two, then a full ban, not the joke that my colleagues are trying to present members of his cabinet have all complied with the Office of Government Ethics

as have myself. We have ethics rules in place, we have an agency that oversees, so you think it's all subject ourselves to the Senate and to this office and receive that clearance before we come for confirmation. So you're okay with the president's doctrine and accordance with transparency and

accordance with the rules of the Congress, we publicly put our finances out there every year in our financial disclosures. You're comfortable with the president buying stocks in companies like energy before he announces these affairs. As you're comfortable with, the president is complying with the ethics rules as they

sit on the books. Under questioning from Democratic Congress member Polcan, UN ambassador Mike Walls admitted that he hasn't even read the State Department's report about Cuba, but that he says he knows a lot about it because he lived in Florida. Let's play this clip.

Have you ever been to Cuba? I have not. You have not. Okay. Did you get a chance to read the report that came out this week from the State Department

on Cuba, 95 pages? I have not read the entire report, but as a NATO Floridian, I'm familiar with the antics and adversarial gadget. But you haven't read it. Thank you, everyone.

Gotcha. Can you explain to me on July 7th, there is a vote in the UN to continue to debate. About the US blockade of Cuba, and we oppose that. We kind of had embarrassing defeat 136 to 9 with 30 abstentions.

But given what this report said, why are we afraid to have that debate?

If there's so much information we want to share with the world about Cuba, why did we not extend? Some mischaracterization. What we opposed was Cubans or others for that matter, abusing the general assembly to have the same debate over and over again.

It just seems that we had such damage and information that this report claims to have. That would be a great venue to have that. I guess my question is, it's been over 65 years. Gotcha. Yeah, no, thank you.

It's been over 65 years that we've had essentially the blockade this embargo on Cuba. And have we, we've closer to a democracy, steer them towards human rights, as the other ambassador said, you know, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result, have that 65 years brought us to where we want to be. I would encourage you to read that report.

I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. Correct. Yes.

I have, I have not read it word for word, but I am very familiar. It's a native word. I read it too. I read it. I've highlighted it.

I felt like, you know, I put on the kinks in the hoop, because everything's about

the 60s and 70s in here, and then you would never jump to today.

A blockade is a ring of ships, a blockade is what we have. This is a blockade of fuel, of medicine, of food, of supplies, even in war. We allow medical supplies to go through, we don't allow medical supplies to go through to Cuba. So, more from Congress, member of Pocans Cross Examination, where Walt's refused to take

off the option that the United States will soon be invading Cuba. All of these Trump regime officials are war criminals, and they deserve to be tried in the hate. Let's play this clip. Cuba, are we going to have a military action against Cuba?

It seems like that's what this report is setting up.

I am not going to take options off the table for the president of the United States, but I would hope that you would not allow your visits to be used for Cuban regime propaganda that has oppressed. Yeah. I'll tell you, I wish people, I understand, but I would strongly urge you, Marco Rubio,

who's never been a Cuba so many others, who have strong opinions, it's entire family

is from Cuba.

They left, for the revolution, that is decades ago.

That's a ridiculous answer. It's Cuba and America. I don't know if it's a flood. It should be fair that it is a ridiculous answer for being oppressed. It's worth going there if you're going to have such strong opinions.

I think you maybe look at it a little differently.

I yield back.

Congresswoman Jacobs had a powerful cross-examination as well.

Let's play it right here. And while they willingly make this sacrifices for our country, it's our job on both sides of this bias to make sure that those sacrifices are worth it. So I wanted to ask you a simple question, are we better off now than we were before we launched the war in Iran?

I'll answer you very directly. Yes, the world and the American people are safer. Okay.

Let me, let's get into some more specifics.

Before the war, the straight of Hormuz was open. Now the straight of Hormuz is closed. Are Americans better off when the straight of Hormuz is open or when the straight of Hormuz is closed? The American economy is largely unaffected by the straight of Hormuz.

We fortunately, I find it a little bit rich to hear this kind of clamoring for oil and gas when, frankly, your side of the aisle has been at war against the American fossil fuel industry for quite some time. In fact, we had an LNG export ban just under the last administration. But fortunately, because of drill baby drill, because of fracking, we are largely self-sufficient

in the energy space. Well, my constituents who are paying on average thousands of dollars more a month in costs because of this war would beg to differ that our economy is not impacted by the straight of Hormuz being closed. The California imports much of its oil and gas, unfortunately, because of its own regulation.

Yeah, I want to talk about the national average of gas, actually. The national average of gas before the war started was $3 a gallon. It is now once again over $4 a gallon. You said actually in saying that the war was getting better on June 21st on face the nation that it is now below $4 and falling to show that we are making progress, but it's back

up at $4 a gallon now. So our Americans better off when they're paying $3 a gallon nationally for gas, or $4 is a gallon nationally for gas.

I think Americans are better off than not paying the highs of over $5 under the last administration

because that's happening for two weeks during the Ukraine war. It's been over $4 for more than three months just this year. There you have it. Folks, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
