Oh, Donald, the rats are fleeing the ship yesterday.

Impeachment is coming. Investigations are coming. Democrats look poised to take control over the house and also are now leading to take over the Senate.

So, you can say, "But buy Caroline Levitt, but Donald, let me tell you what's happened. It is the rats fleeing the sinking ship right now." And, you know, where those rats are Donald, you know what those rats see? They see you abandoning the old Air Force One, sneaking in a food truck with Natalie Harp,

who I guess was more important to you than Marco Rubio and Caroline Levitt. They went in all their force One, and you went in the military plane, by the way.

Now there's all these major leaks that are just clowning on Donald Trump here from our CIA and the intelligence community, saying, "Donald, you fell for it again. This was another Netanyahu scheme to try to scare you, but our own intelligence here did not believe that Iran was going to use a

shoulder-placed missile in order to shoot the old Air Force One, that was just junk intelligence, and you fell for Netanyahu yet again.

Just like when you brought the United States into this catastrophic war, but Donald just wants to poke, I have a lot of threats that you don't know about.

Any consequential president has a lot of threats. Non-consequential presidents don't get threatened, and I think that I may be the most consequential president. It's like what he's trying to like compete for the most death threats.

You know, every other president had certain threats. It comes with the job and isn't wine about it. They weren't like, "Oh my God, can you believe it?" No. They acted like the commander in chief of what was supposed to be the strongest military in humankind, but you as the commander in chief, five-time draft-udger, "Oh my God, oh my God, I'm gonna have the sneaking with a food truck with Netanyahu harp." Oh, and the reporting is just so utterly embarrassing as well. So from the Daily Mail, inside the catering truck, sat Trump's most trusted inner circle, 35-year-old Netanyahu harp, picking Netanyahu harp to go with him on this plane was a no-brainer source has told the Daily Mail. She was Donald Trump's first pick, the glamorous 35-year-old,

a human printer of Donald Trump, by the way, Caroline Levitt when she resigned when she quit yesterday. I'm not sure it's all that coincidental, but Caroline Levitt was on the old Air Force one. She didn't get to go on in the other jet with Netanyahu harp,

but what she posted, this photo is even look like her, her farewell photo made with artificial intelligence, made with AI. I think that just about sums up this phony fraudulent regime,

but the house oversight dams were taunting Caroline Levitt before she left two days ago, they said, "We look forward to investigations, Todd Blanch, you, the entire regime. You have judiciary, ranking member, Jamie Raskin, he's like, "Let's go, let's do this house oversight, Congress member Garcia, he's ready to go, he's like, let's do this." And areas they want to probe in addition to all of Donald Trump's crimes, and there's just so much of it, folks. This is horrific, and Aaron Parnus has been leading the way. Aaron Parnus has his own YouTube channel. He's also affiliated with the Midas Touch Network, of course.

He's been reporting, getting all these text messages from military families, from our Navy sailors, and from the Marines aboard the major supercarriers in the Persian Gulf, about how bad the conditions are. There was reporting back in April, of course, the images of the food being served to sailors on the Abraham Lincoln and the Tripoli, and multiple family members told the military times incidents of sailors attempting to jump off the U.S. Abraham Lincoln and take their lives, because the conditions are just so awful right there.

And I think about, you know, they're not getting food, they're losing 40 to 50 pounds. The showers don't work, the toilets don't work. We recovered the Gerald Ford where they were massifiers in the laundry room, which almost killed 1,000 of our service members, and it burned down all of the beds people had to sleep on the floor.

I mean, these are ships that are serving their longest terms of deployment ever. I mean, the Gerald Ford was there for almost 400 days.

The U.S. Abraham Lincoln, you know, was there for nearly nine months, and they're out of food. I mean, they're running low on food. The family members are telling us they're not getting anything really. I mean, the milk gets rotten. They're not getting fruits and veg to boil it as they, it's like a little bit of frozen meat that they get.

You all know the story, right, that last year, Pete Heggsiff went on a shoppi...

Bush. Remember that reporting? I know with all of the Trump crimes and fraud and ridiculousness. That's out there. This story may have been forgotten. But in one month, Heggsiff spent $6.9 million on lobster's $15.1 million on ribeye steaks.

$2 million on a lasking king crabs, $140,000 on doughnuts, $124,000 on ice cream machines, $5.3 million on apple devices.

$12,000 for a fruit basket stand, $225 million in new furniture, including chairs costing nearly $1,900 each, $98,029 for a Steinway in Sun's Grand Piano for the Air Force residents.

While our service members aboard the supercarriers and by the way, also on bases are suffering. They don't get the right nutrition. They're being screwed over and tormented by our lying fascist regime over here. That's what they were spending their money on. $15.1 million on ribeye steaks. And by the way, where the hell is the media talking about this? They should be talking about this every damn day. But I'll tell you, yesterday's state regime media, which calls itself Fox, they were calling Donald Trump, at least Brett Bear was called, let me be clear, it was just this one segment on Brett Bear.

But he was saying, despite Trump's claim that the US has total control over the straightive or moose, here's what they said, here's what Brett Bear said, play this clip.

How much total oil flow averages nearly 21 million barrels per day in the first half of last year, equivalent to about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption. Usually about one fifth of the world's liquified natural gas trade moves through there as well. Despite President Trump claiming total control over the straight traffic has slowed really to a trickle. If you look at this before the conflict more than 100 vessels a day, we're crossing Monday eight vessels crossed yesterday 14. Now, those are constraints and that's changing the government's energy outlook, the energy information administration raised its forecast for the average price of a gallon of gasoline over the full year by 14 cents.

You can see right here, it also raised its twenty twenty six forecast for Brent crude from eighty two dollars a barrel to eighty seven dollars a barrel and there's another problem building as well. The international energy agencies has global crude crude oil inventory is fell by 2.2 million barrels a day in July it expects a global supply deficit of 1.8 million barrels a day in the third quarter. That's more than double its previous estimate. Aaron Parnus, who's getting scoop after scoop also interviewed Governor Pritzker and here's what he had to say, here's what Governor Pritzker had to say about Donald Trump's mental decline play this clip.

Do you believe based on that that the president is fit to command America's troops right now?

When you say, is he fit to command? I mean, this is a person who clearly is having mental health challenges. I mean, you can see it every day when he, you know, he sits there at that desk with, you know, 20 people, 30 people around him talking to the press because he can't apparently stand at a podium for a long period of time. This is somebody who says in name things and, you know, you can't figure out why he's doing it from one moment to the next. He's and then he, you know, likes to talk about the dementia tests that he's taking like like he passed a dementia test, you know, we should all celebrate he passed a dementia test.

I think since it's some sort of IQ test, it isn't a IQ test and all I can say is he's not passing the dementia test that all of us have for a president, he's not speaking rationally or acting rationally.

So, I mean, I, I didn't want him to be president because I never thought that he was capable of being commander in chief and I think he's proving.

But on state regime media fox, they want to distract with everything. Here's what Laura Ingraham was focused on ridiculous here play this clip. Well, Sophie Cunningham was basically she came out and said, you know, it's making too much of this, you know, we're all good. She, she kind of who pulled the idea that there was this great tension on the team over this and she's she's trying to get back to the main thing, which is basketball and how great the team played that night.

She was frustrated, but she, she's trying to walk a line here and she is an a...

This is not something that was created by anyone except the hard left that wanted to twist the meaning of what it is to be a woman and now they're all going to have to play against and as can or freedom.

We'll see Mrs. Freedom and Senator Ossof, I think, put this all in perspective here's what he had to say play this clip on record on record breaking deployment as everybody knows, but there are no reports that on the Lincoln there have been

multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard as poor conditions and mental stresses, a lack of food, a lack of clean clothing, a lack of materials they need, reaches a breaking point. I find this incredibly infuriating, heartbreaking. I mean, these service members have been at sea for nearly nine months at this point, but what's your reaction to the conditions they're facing? These reports are deeply disturbing and I want to express on behalf of everybody in Georgia, our deep gratitude and appreciation for the sailors and the naval aviators and the Marines who are deployed and who are putting their lives on the line in service to the United States.

I think we have to step back and recognize that this entire war is based on lies. They told us last year that the Iranian nuclear threat was obliterated, then they told us earlier this year that there was an imminent nuclear threat, both times lies, on day four of this war, President Trump declared victory. Months ago, Secretary Higgs F said that all of our objectives had been achieved. The war continues. Iran still has its uranium, or moves remains closed. This is a complete fiasco. It is a catastrophic failure by the commander and chief personally and his entire national security team.

You all know that I'm a dad a geek. I made chart geek. So let's geek out. Shall we together? Oh, by the way, make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel before I go over this data.

I want to try to get to 7 million subscribers who just double check that you're subscribed. Let's let's geek out. Okay.

The USA has total control over the straightive removes Donald Trump says. Well, let's take a look right here. Charlie Belalo posted this graph right here. You can see what the crude oil outbound ship minister of the straightive removes looked like back in 2025. You can compare it to what it looks like now in 2026. That doesn't look like full control to me. He posted this as well. Tariffs went up in companies raised their prices. Tariffs are now being refunded in companies are keeping the price increases.

While they are getting the refunds, not we the people who had to pay the extra prices. Funny how that works, right? The first time where we've had negative months of tariff income. And the prices remain elevated, but there's not like the companies that raised their prices because of the apps are decreasing it. And we the consumers are getting screwed. They got refunds that go right to their bottom line while we get screwed.

It's a massive scam for corporations and for Trump's oligarchs. How about this?

The federal government took in $334 billion and spent $760 billion. That's a $432 billion deficit in just one month in July.

The deficit was $432 for one month. Yeah, don't try this at home, folks. That as the interest expense on US public debt hit $1.37 trillion over the last 12 months. Another record high. If it continues to increase at the current pace, it will soon be the largest line item in the federal budget surpassing social security as Meghan Cousella writes. Some brutal figures from Treasury's latest monthly statement for the fiscal year to date. The US deficit is at $1.8 trillion. Larger than the deficit for all of last year. Think about that.

The US deficit at $1.8 trillion. Larger than the deficit for all of us here. $1.2 trillion was spent on interest on the debt. Corporate tax receipts down 18%. That's brutal, folks. And then you have stuff like this. General dynamics received a no bid contract of $530 million from the Pentagon and opened a state-of-the-art facility. A state-of-the-artillery factory near Dallas to make shells for the Ukraine war. Robots regularly caught fire, conveyers broke autonomous carts got lost,

and there was a dumpster fire. It never made a single shell before it was mothballed.

A literal dumpster fire. And meanwhile, while all of our money, our taxpayer money is being burned by Pete Heggsith and Donald Trump and Marco Rubio.

Literally, they're burning and that could have gone to free healthcare.

That could have gone to housing, that could have gone to education.

That could have gone to so many things that could have helped the American people.

We know that we're out of munitions now. We're out of weapons. We're out of weapons, okay?

Our morale is at an all-time low. We're not giving food to our sailors and our service members and our Marines on these supercarriers.

Okay, our strategic petroleum reserves have hit below tank bottom now. And Donald Trump wants to spend the other money hundreds of billions of dollars on Trump-class battleships.

Nuclear battleships, 'cause he liked the way they looked in the 1920s, and he doesn't like stealth.

He doesn't like modern technology. And you take a look at this Wall Street journal scoop. U.S. and Ukrainian forces went head-to-head in an exercise. Ukraine drones won. Ukrainian drone units decisively beat a U.S. armored brigade in a major exercise in Germany. Exposing gaps in America's adaption to modern drone warfare. Ukrainian operators quickly detected U.S. vehicles, then simulated, destroying them with explosive and FPV drones. So effectively that the U.S. units had to repeatedly respond.

Well, in the real world, you don't get to respond like a video game, okay? And this is the third or fourth military exercise like this, where Ukraine has just obliterated the U.S. armed forces in these simulations.

That's Trump. That's Heggsip. That's what these idiots do.
