Donald Trump just announced an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. The only problem is Zalinsky said, "News to me, we never heard about this until Donald Trump made a social media post. As diesel and gas prices continued to surge, as Donald Trump is being condemned here in the United States on a bipartisan basis for his Russian diesel deal. As we approach the midterms, Donald Trump more desperate than ever. And here's what he posted first thing this morning. And by the way, all corporate news bought it, hook line and sinker. They put out their alerts, cease fire, cease fire, everybody. And then it was clear that Donald Trump lies about everything. Should have been clear from the outset. Trump posted effective immediately. There is an energy ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it, exclamation point. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. Then, Barack Reved over at Axio said, well, Zalinsky spoke to them at Axios. And here's what Reved said. President Zalinsky told me in a phone call, a few minutes ago, quote, the announcement about the ceasefire was news to me. But if the Russians agree to a ceasefire in the energy sector and the energy sector, Ukraine will also agree. If President Trump agreed to this with Putin, please let us know when the ceasefire begins. We are ready and we will agree to it. You know, when the United States used to have a functional state department and somebody who also ran the Pentagon, who was not a failed weekend anchor at state regime media fox. And before that, could it run a veteran's nonprofit without engaging in massive amounts of improper conduct according to the organization? You know, we would have ways to formally convey things. We would never be this ridiculous and so fraudulent and despicable to begin with the way Trump, the Trump regime is, but you don't do these things via social media posts. Then Zalinsky posted the following, I just spoke with Prime Minister Karni and President Stu Ben the Secretary General of NATO. Zalinsky says we discussed the energy ceasefire that was announced by Trump. He's calling Trump's bluff. Ukraine supports the ceasefire and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side. For our part, Ukraine always fully supports steps toward de-escalation, the protection of lives, and the decisions needed to end the war and guarantee lasting peace. Thank you. And in addition to President Zalinsky's statement, Russia's Duma Energy Committee just said it knows nothing about any energy truce and called Donald Trump's announcement pure market manipulation. They said it is a market play, the first deputy chairman, Anash Keeke from the Duma said we all know that Trump often says things to keep oil prices down, so-called verbal interventions. I don't know how true this is and they're saying that this is all part of Trump's market manipulation. And then what Donald Trump do? Did he provide details? No, just posted photos of himself and Mike Tyson from the late 80s or early 90s and he posted, wow, kid rock just walked out at the Trump rally and declared the fake news public enemy number one going full Trump mode. Trump is the toughest, most resilient president we ever had. Kid Rock said, meanwhile, before Donald Trump made that fake announcement about a ceasefire, but who makes fake ceasefire now? The Trump over and over and over again, the United States as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says is not a serious nation. Think about that. Get a loan of superpower. We're not serious anymore because we're run by a sex predator lunatic, a felon, a bankrupt or a fraud and someone whose every sound, syllable, utterance, anything is a lie. Every freaking thing out of the guy is a fraud and a lie. It's been that way his whole damn life as well. And I can't believe corporate news, by the way, still freaking report. Donald Trump's, don't Donald Trump's a liar. He's a freaking felon. But I digress. Focus on the news. Our earlier today before Donald Trump made that post, President Zelensky of Ukraine was on ABC. And he's basically conveyed the message anticipating what Trump was going to do. And Zelensky's like, stop playing games with people. We all know the reason that the price of diesel and gas and everything is surging is because of the war in Iran. We know what's happening. The people know what's happening. Let's get serious. Stop playing games. You're playing this clip. Simple to speak about the prices and connected with Ukraine. When everybody in the world understands because of the war in Middle East, the prices are rising. The increasing. The increasing because of the war in Middle East of the blocking or moose because of these reasons. Everybody understands it. And if we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, we have to stop. I mean, this people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people. Then President Zelensky said, I have a great idea for Putin. Don't attack us. Don't kill our children. And then we'll stop attacking your diesel refineries. Let's do this. Let's do it here. Play this clip. The first step is ceasefire. Energy is fire. Okay. If they want energy, this is why we are open for this. Don't attack us. We will stop attack your diesel. And I think it's fair. Fair deal. President Trump said that then Zelensky is asked, so why do you think people like Trump and Musk and everybody in the Trump regime? Why do they keep on blaming you? And he's like, because it's easier because they can't do a deal with Putin because Putin doesn't want to do a deal. Putin wants Ukraine. Putin wants all of Eastern Ukraine and probably more for Russia. That's what he wants. So the Trump regime says, okay, let's just bully who we believe to be the weaker and smaller country and bully them into submission. Here, play this clip. Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war? Because these people can't find a key how to stop Putin. Because it's more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others. Because it's more simple to speak about the prices and connect it with Ukraine. Then Zelensky says this in response to Trump's threat that Ukraine needs a new president. President Trump said that that we need Ukraine needs new president. So first of all, with all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader. Yes, we're in war. And now to do elections is really difficult. Now, while this was taking place, another tanker was struck this time in the Gulf of Oman by the IRGC. Remember how I've been talking about these STS ship to ship transfers? It's one of the ways that Senkham tries to sneak out tankers out of the straight of Hormuz by hugging the Oman coast. Smaller tankers hug the coast. They try to go to the bigger tankers. They connect them by a hose. And then they try to pump in the barrels of oil. And then the bigger tanker, the VLCC is kind of stationed there. And then it leaves. And so that's kind of the plan. Remember how we've been reporting how the IRGC's been taking, been striking a lot of these stationary tankers in the Gulf of Oman, kind of east of Fugera, east of the UAE. In addition to stationary tankers off the coast of Dubai, off the coast of Qatar. Remember how we meant to another one here in Gulf of Oman, a major strike by the IRGC and they've been warning they're going to be doing this. We're getting close to about 20 tankers. I think it's like 17 at this point, but we're getting close to 20 tankers struck basically in the past 10 days. Why tankers still continue to believe Senkham is beyond me. Well, actually, we do know, I mean, they're getting paid $1.5 million a day, these tankers, if they make it out. So they could be making $50 million for the whole journey potentially. So it's huge amounts of money. But the IRGC's punishing them and saying, we warned you, Trump doesn't control the straight, we control the straight of hormones. Look at this footage of the oil tanker on fire in the Gulf of Oman from earlier today. Play this clip. And then now in addition to terminal three of the King Khalid airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, terminal four was struck. Now the Riyadh airport has largely been evacuated so we don't believe there was injuries today. Yesterday there was 12 people killed or so, including one American. Over 320 people are so injured and that number continues to increase at the King Khalid airport in Saudi Arabia yesterday. That was terminal three. This is terminal four. On Sir Ala is striking the capital of Saudi Arabia with impunity, which tells us Saudi Arabia is probably out of interceptors as well. They relied on the Trump regime. Bad decision to rely on the Trump regime as the United States is out of interceptors. And weapons and the closest aircraft carrier that the US has is just one aircraft carrier now. It's the USS George Washington and it's a thousand kilometers outside of a thousand kilometers away from Iran. And so in the past, what two weeks or so, we have seen strikes on airports in Riyadh, Abba, Demam, Kambas Mushat, Nadran and Jazan all over Saudi Arabia, these airports have been struck. So what is Treasury Secretary Bessent want to say about all of this? Treasury Secretary Bessent went on the morning shows this morning and he says Iran is about to cry uncle. He said, a few days, a few weeks, Iran will cry uncle. This is Treasury Secretary Bessent who recently lifted these sanctions against the Russian diesel and provided a general license for Russia to import diesel into the United States, which I believe by the way is a criminal act by Bessent. Here he says, I don't know, you know, they may cry uncle, I don't know how to say it in Farsi, but that's what they're going to do play this clip, and I don't know what they I don't know what crying uncle isn't Farsi, but they're going to be crying uncle, you know, they are collapsing. They can't pay their soldiers and now I have this video from September 24th, 2026 of Bessent saying the same thing that Dale cry uncle. I don't know if it'll be a week or a month, but Dale cry uncle. So the clip I showed you before was from this morning, this clip I'm about to show you is September 24th, 2026 where Bessent says Iran will cry uncle play this clip. In terms of constricting and cutting off the financial oxygen to them and I don't know whether it's going to be a week, a month or two months, but they are going to yell uncle. By the way, I can go back to clips from April where Bessent said the same thing. Remember when Bessent said Iran has three days left because the blockade is so effective that the pipes that move the I don't even understand engineer the pipes that move the oil in Iran are going to explode because they have so much pressure on them. That's how effective the blockade is that's what they told us in April you go back to early March where Trump said the war would be over in four to six weeks guaranteed. So why by the way, having a media diet of getting accurate information is so important like take a look at these articles right here Saudi Arabia extends airport closure and moves Riyadh schools online after deadly strike very little coverage from right wing media on this mostly the coverage from left wing media or center media about this or take a look at this article right here. Russia diesel deal good for Americans is how this is being framed Trump official vows to use all legal means to push it no coverage with this framing on the left 67% of all coverage on this is on the right in other words right wing regime media is doing what regime media does they're pushing that this unlawful Russian oil deal is somehow going to be great for everybody and yes it is unlawful I did the analysis this morning as well. There's the end Russian importation act of 2022 which says that the Trump regime would have had to declare the war in Ukraine over and submit a certification to Congress if they wanted to do this deal with Russia and then there was a law that was passed in 2017 that Trump signed into law during his first term which has another certification requirement if you make any material trade deals. And the materiality is described as just pretty much anything here you have with Russia you have to give Congress 30 days notice of the deal and then Congress can potentially override it with a resolution and Trump violated the law that he signed in 2017 so by the way it's important to have a good media diet it's why I partnered with ground news for this episode because they're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting ground news is an app in web. It pulls 1000s of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how's it being covered on the left center and the right just like I showed you right there it also tells you is this from independent media or is this from a corporate news conglomerate and they have that dedicated blind spot feed that I use for my research to showcase what I just shared with you I believe in ground news so much we're going to offer you 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research so just go ahead. Just go click the link in the description or go to ground. News slash mtn or scan the QR code up here it's one of the biggest discounts they've offered if you want to support this channel and get a clear understanding of the world try out ground news now. Special you need a good media diet where you have mega republicans like congress member graph men who all he wants to say is our message to voters is that this is all Biden's fault mega republican congress member growthman for you play this clip. President Biden's not president anymore president Trump is so I guess that's the question. Well I think he has to remind people of things could be worse and things are going to get better he's made he made things a lot better when he took office then we had the war he's going to make things a lot better again. Well we'll have to or you have a mega republican congress member ember this morning what do you think he's saying it's all Biden's fault it was so much worse under Biden when Biden left things were significantly better than this and Trump's the president. Trump said on day one I'm going to do this I'm going to do that I'll end the war in Ukraine electricity prices will be cut in half I'll stop inflation I will be involved in no more never ending wars here's what ember said you could list congress member ember play this clip. I mean we certainly are hearing Americans concerned about rising prices rising gas prices rising food prices are you saying that they just don't get it I mean we're we're seeing this in poll after poll after poll going on I was just in Kansas I certainly heard it there you saying people don't get it that the economy is much better. John I hate to point the finger at you and the other journalists but have you reported that under Joe Biden it was the average was over $5 a gallon under Donald Trump he's pulled it all the way back even with the the action that had to be taken to make sure that a grand never has a nuclear weapon it's close to $4 it's about a thing 13% below or below what Joe Biden had grocery inflation under Biden it was 13 points something under Donald Trump it's 2% it's 11 points better but you can by the way I think it's noteworthy to doctor Abdul L. Syed was on the morning shows here's what he said this morning here play this clip. I know that we will I mean everywhere I go I get somebody comes up to me says look I voted for Trump two three times and I'm voting for you and I ask why they say it's because you really want me to have health care I really want them to have health care. It's because you really are America first I really am America first I want our tax dollars spent here not dropping bombs and other people over there we shouldn't be fighting these wars whether it's a tear of war in Canada or a hot war in Iran. They're costing us $5,600 for this ridiculous terror for with Canada $1,600 and counting for this Iran war now you had Mark Wayne Mullin Maga Republican extremists who is the Department of Homeland Security Secretary took over for Christy know he's a former Maga Republican senator from Oklahoma he brags and boasts about public executions being live streamed he said this is what American values are all about. Here play this clip Hassan's in a wheelchair doesn't the administration risk live streaming this and making him a murder to his cause couldn't this be a risk to the homeland. No one no one has to watch it but I did for me to have sympathy for anybody that killed 13 service members in a scumbag like this is a psycho who was supposed to be a psychiatrist. I am not asking about hand, I'm asking about the light. and the risk that could be created by it. - Listen, once again, no one has to watch it if they don't choose to follow President Trump. He's a commander in chief of the country. And he does a phenomenal job. He leads this country with a very, very, very direct forward straight hand. And he's restoring America values and bringing where America is. - Wanna make this point about Mullen and Bessent? - You know, Donald Trump, unfortunately, because we have a fascist right wing Supreme Court in the United States, was given absolute immunity from criminal prosecution if he claims that he was doing it for national security or things like that. But Bessent and Mullen don't have absolute immunity. And the end importation of Russian oil act and the 2017 Certification Act, make it illegal to import Russian oil. Now, the customs and border patrol would be complicit in the illegal scheme if they unloaded the Russian diesel. And similarly, Bessent already, in my view, I'm giving you my opinion, you can disagree. My opinion is First Amendment speech protected by the First Amendment. I believe that Bessent in providing Russia with a license and removing the sanctions that exist was a violation of the law. So I believe Bessent actually already engaged in a criminal conduct. And he's not subject to absolute immunity. And he can be prosecuted afterwards for doing what he's doing. It's my opinion, feel free to disagree. I am a law professor. So my opinion is rooted in my view of how I read the law, but feel free to disagree with that opinion. But Bessent continued on his tear this morning on state regime media. And he blamed Europe for forcing the United States to do the deal with Russia. That it's Europe's fault why we were forced to do the diesel deal here, play this clip. - It's not working. And Charlie, it's just as you said, the Europeans have given the Russians more money. They have since the start of this war than they have given the Ukrainians because they cannot wean themselves off Russian energy. They had a failed energy policy. And Vladimir Putin, they continue to fund him. So for them to say that we cannot have a respite in diesel pricing is completely hypocritical. - More from Bessent over here saying Iran now has no oil on the water, negative cash flow. And they're about to cry uncle. He says it again over here, play this clip. - Iran zero. Iran now has no oil on the water. They have negative cash flow. We have cut them off. We have be cut off their airline service too. - Now I just want to share with you Senator Chris Murphy, the Democratic Senator of Connecticut, who was in the Middle East. And he was trying to tour American military bases and he was denied the ability to go and look at the military bases 'cause Hegsith is involved in a massive coverup because all of the US military bases were obliterated by Iran here play this clip. Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that. Not just because Americans died, but because their taxpayer dollars at scale were wasted. And so yes, we should reconsider whether we should rebuild them if we can't protect them. And this president is incapable of protecting our people in the Middle East. - And I think it's important that you hear that from Senator Murphy 'cause I've been saying now for months 'cause I've been sharing those satellite footage with you about these bases from these bases. And I said these bases are obliterated. They're destroyed. Iran destroyed these bases. And I hope you didn't think I was being hyperbolic 'cause sometimes I see the comments, oh, there were no obliterated out. They were. One of the frustrations that I've had was going back not with you, but sometimes the way others have perceived what we're trying to build here is, when we were calling Donald Trump a fascist and authoritarian and calling them out people like, oh, you can't use that language. You can't use that language. I'm like, it's accurate. And I think we all need moral clarity. We need precision in our language to call out what the hell is happening right here. That's all. And then Senator Chris Murphy over here talks more about how Congress is being denied the ability to see the damage of these bases. Here, this is what he says. Well, I didn't see any installations. I mean, that's the issue, is that we have no-- I thought you saw the embassy, that was-- Well, I saw the embassy, but the most expensive rebuild would be of the naval base in Bahrain and our air base in Qatar. And right now, members of Congress are being denied the ability to see the damage at these bases because there's a coverup underway. There is a coverup underway to try to hide from the American public, the cost of this war, and the debacle that it has caused in the region. So how could we assess whether we want to rebuild these facilities if the administration is denying us the ability to see them or even to understand the scope of the damage? I mean, the blockage of basic congressional oversight responsibilities here is absolutely egregious. Folks, WTF America is about to be out officially, pre-order it now. Here it is over here.
