Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mithmobile.com slash switch. The company made a $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12 month plan required, $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes me slow when network is busy. See terms.
Tick tock Donald midterms are right around the corner. You're ready for impeachment number three. You're ready for investigations. Buckle up. Donald Trump closing the White House to the press all day yesterday. No public events on schedule. Donald Trump closing the White House to the press all day today. He's heading to Houston for a closed press event as well. Donald Trump did give an interview to Sean Hannity where he said I want to make the midterms all about me. I want to take out all of these ads that just feature me and I've told all the magas. Make this about Trump. Trump. Trump. Okay. This interview is going to be airing in a few days, but sounds good. Donald, because guess what? You're approval rating in the United States right now is only 13% of Americans strongly approve of you. And those 13% people are pretty deranged here. Play this clip. There's a theory that I get the vote.
You know, this I see it all the time that when Trump's in the ballot, they win. When he's out of the ballot, the people don't got to vote. And I'm asking the people through your brilliant show number one show. I'm asking the people to get out and vote, pretend I'm on the ballot. They go out and vote. We're going to win. And if we know, our country's going to be in say a cheque because we're going to go through a lot of things. And just to review what happened in the past 24 hours while Donald Trump shut down the White House to the press, let's recap our editor and chief Ron Philip Kowski explained just to review today, the Department of Education made a post saying that they were just like Hitler. Ted Cruz had a retweet of an account named Ted Cruz's tiny penis. And White House posted a screenshot of an eagle on top of a Canadian goose. But in the video, the goose wins Trump made a mission accomplished post on Iran that included George W. Bush and Iraq, a GOP representative banned jelly roll from his district because he made a fat joke about Donald Trump not being able to see his penis because Trump is too fat.
And did you not the Maggar Republicans are lashing out at the musician jelly jelly roll for guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel and making that joke? Just so you see here I come with receipts, you can see what the US Department of Education posted yesterday. It says no one like us with a tiger emoji. And then it was pretty apparent that this is the clip from the darkest hour and the tiger in this clip refers to Adolf Hitler, who the Department of Education was comparing to Donald Trump. What about this right here, the White House in trying to attack Canada posted a photo of an eagle attacking a Canada goose. But as Carl Shimote explains, someone just pointed out that almost unbelievably this is real footage from a fight in which the Canada goose ultimately prevails over the eagle. If this isn't a metaphor for US trade policy, I don't know what is.
This is the weird AI image that Donald Trump kept on posting yesterday. It's a photo of him next to the Iatola and George W Bush with an AI sign that says mission accomplished. And here is the post by Congress member Jimmy Patronis, a Maggar Republican Congress member from Florida. Florida Congressman who used to be a big jelly roll fan now says he's not welcome in Florida after the joke jelly roll did about Donald Trump. And this Maggar Republican says jelly roll is 100% not welcome to Florida's panhandle. I don't even want to see his bus on I 10. He's always been the token country star. The lives in California are allowed to enjoy he a country never was take the TDS somewhere else loser. And just so you know what jelly rolls joke is that got the mega cult all mad. He said well Mr. Trump from one fat pig to another take it from me that physical fitness is very important.
And trust me you'll be happy to see your penis again. That's that was the joke. Maggar was very angry about that. Another MAGA influencer said by jelly roll you could have built a real legacy here. One that outlasted the hype in the applause instead you put on a suit for Jimmy Kimmel. And you spent the night roasting the president like a desperate late night hack fat pig weight jokes crude shots all to kiss the ring of the Woke Hollywood machine these people are so damn embarrassing. But I'll show you what the other MAGA Republican Congress member were saying Donald Trump sent his sick offense like MAGA Republican Congress member Pete Sessions. He went on CNN and he said when Donald Trump took office a year ago inflation is lower now we brought it down and the CNN host is like yeah that's that's not true. When Biden left office inflation was significantly lower than it is now and it was heading to 2% and then Donald Trump did a trade war against the world.
And Donald Trump launched a catastrophic war against Iran and that increased inflation. It's very basic. It's very basic and yesterday's inflation reading of PCE was way hotter than expected and not in a good way in a bad way bad hot here play this clip. John the president was in reference to where it was when we took office when he took office. It is now. It is lower. Converse it no no it's not inflation was lower when he took office than it is now it just is prices are you know inflation is higher now than when he first took office has gone up. It was it was coming down it was so let's go right to your point has the president done things economically that would lower the cost of doing business and the answer was we were until war started and once the war started as you know the gasoline prices have increased and the increase in gasoline prices have had a large effect off not only travel but
but a fall in doing business and that would be correct. I will only note that the core PCE which trips out food and energy is also elevated at 3.3% so prices are high even without the fuel prices high. Converse and then could we just have a video cleanser together for a moment as the Maga Republicans attack New York City mayor mom Donnie over and over again. Who's approval rating is basically like 70% in New York City. Let me just show you what mayor mom Donnie was doing yesterday while the Maga Republicans were rallying about I don't know the WNBA and and the socialists are coming to get you and whatever the hell they were talking about. There was mayor mom Donnie playing tennis with kids after announcing 10 resurfaced courts and the Bronx made possible through the New York Parks adopt a park program which completed the refurbishment within 3 weeks.
I know this is what the Maga Republicans are terrified joy empathy love getting stuff done here play this clip. Okay, you got any tips for me? Go swiftly. Go swiftly. All right. Here we go. There we go. All right. All right. Thank you for taking it easy on me. That's you. Now we also saw yesterday, hegsith meeting with the Joint Chief of Staff General Cain and CIA director John Ratcliffe. They showed up at the White House while Donald Trump closed the White House to the press following a meeting you see right here in this photo taken by Andrew Layden right there. Ratcliffe returned from Russia late last night and according to the Wall Street Journal, they said the surprise visit by the CIA director John Ratcliffe to Moscow was to deliver a warning to Russia not to attack NATO countries.
According to people briefed on the visit, not really buying that and if that was the message, it's perhaps even more humiliating because immediately Russia launched a massive hack against Norway, China launched a massive hack against the United States, you know, China hacked the Justice Department, they hacked the Senate, they hacked the Federal Reserve, the Trump regime claims they stopped the hack but the Trump regime lies about everything. So you could pretty much be sure that Canada has all of the information right now would be my best guess and also yesterday after the meeting with Ratcliffe, Russia hit hard and keve and the surrounding cities and other areas in Ukraine. So obviously the visit by Ratcliffe didn't have any impact on Putin and also all the intelligence coming out is that Russia's planning a massive attack on Ukraine in the winter people close to Putin are also saying that they're not ruling out tactical nuclear missiles.
There's some indication based on the Belarus army's readiness posture that there could be a invasion from the north right by Belarus into Ukraine and open up a northern front and Russia's not worrying about Trump. The US is out of weapons, the US is in an economic catastrophe, the US has destroyed its military, the whole world knows that the US can't fight a war right now. Iran beat the United States in a war and the US depleted its weapons. Trump could say, oh, we control the straight of Hormuz, allies told Bloomberg the straight of Hormuz is controlled by Iran, it's not demined. Donald Trump's lying when he claims it's demined. There's at least 80 to 150 mines in the straight of Hormuz according to our allies and you know it's really sad and tragic to them how weak the United States has become but they've moved on. Also in the past 24 hours Iran struck another tanker in the straight of Hormuz. We did not get any formal post from UK MTO about it. Martin Kelly who is of EOS risk group explain that a Kuwaiti oil tanker was struck by Iran in the straight of Hormuz and then after that was announced remember we reported about another tanker being hit earlier this week and that wasn't reported anywhere else.
We're not doing any timely reports and kind of just like Sencom it's been you know they used to provide reliable data that is don't provide reliable data anymore, you know which is a sad site to see. We just have the Iranian leadership mocking the United States you have Iran's parliament leader thanking China for rejecting Treasury Secretary Bessons economic D day right that sure ended quickly economic D day okay that's gone you have Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson mocking the US sanctions and saying that mission project power current mission project vacation I'm tired boss and they're mocking the U.S. for not being able to take care of troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln which is now left the Arabian sea and is now heading to Thailand. So there you have it. We'll keep you posted every step of the way hit subscribe let's get to 7 million subscribers thanks for watching everybody.
Let's do this.
