Donald Trump was limping out of the White House. He appeared to have some sort of brace or device on his leg. He's heading to San Antonio, Texas where even the MAGA Republican extremist governor Greg Abbott does not want to be seen on stage with Donald Trump. Donald Trump stopped for a brief press conference. He was asked questions about mortgage rates being the highest in recent history. The 30 year fixed mortgage hitting around 7.5%, I think it's 7.45% to be exact on its way to 8%. The 10 year treasury yield hit a new record high as Treasury Secretary Besson's plan of doing bond buybacks has backfired in his face. Another tanker has been struck in the Strait of Hormuz right off the coast of Qatar. That happened as Donald Trump was walking out of the White House and more tankers have been struck in the Strait of Hormuz in the past week by a run since the war began February 28th. With all of that as background, Donald Trump refused to answer a very basic question from the press. Mortgage rates are the highest they've ever been in years. What's your response? He walks away. Here, play this clip. Now, take a look at him walking away over here to Marine 1. I'll show you what it looks like now as he gets off Marine 1. He's with Ted Cruz, by the way, and he called Ted Cruz's wife during the 2015-2016 campaign very ugly. He said Ted Cruz's father killed JFK, but there they are walking together. One of the only friends Donald Trump has left, I suppose. They're meant for each other. Look over here though at Donald Trump's leg. Look at him limp. He's struggling to walk. He's rotting away before our eyes. I've been commenting on the cognitive and physical deterioration. Now, as Donald Trump was heading out, he also held an Oval Office press conference before he headed out to Texas, and he was asked if he's going to be speaking to Putin about the potential spread of the pneumonic play in Siberia, and also Russia's been increasing its strikes in Kiev and throughout Ukraine. One of the recent Garen-4 drone strikes by Putin in Kiev had a Garen-4 with Putin's image on it to taunt the civilians. There have been numerous people killed in Ukraine in the past 24 hours. I'll do a haul of the report on that, but a lot of people have been killed in Ukraine. Donald Trump said that he's going to speak to Putin, wish him a happy birthday. Then he says to the press, "You're only going to wish him a happy birthday too. Here, play this clip." Have you spoken with Putin yet? Have you spoken with Vladimir Putin yet? Oh, I have a call set up. Today is his birthday. Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate this. Now I have a call set up. Donald Trump before heading out to Texas then also said, "I settled eight wars, and another one is coming here. Play this clip." I said, "Wow, what an honor. I settled eight wars. Another one is coming." And Trump says that without him, the world would have been totally obliterated. There would have been total obliteration. The world wouldn't even exist if he didn't stop these wars. Let's play this clip. Not only should he get it for this year, but there's never been anybody in the history of the Nobel Prize that deserves it more. I did, I settled eight wars, and I've stopped maybe the total obliteration of the world because I ran will never have a nuclear weapon. And Donald Trump says again, "What a deranged sick vile piece of trash he is." He says, "I had my shot if I wanted to hurt Hillary Clinton, Obama, Barack Obama, Biden. I can hurt them. I can still hurt them." Lots of people said, "Hurt him, Donald, hurt him." Here, play this clip. I've had my shot and still do at Biden at Hillary Clinton and Barack could say, "No, Obama." And I've had plenty of people say, "Let's go get him." And I said, "No, you can't do that to the presidency." And then Donald Trump's like, "You know what? Maybe I'll still do it. I can do whatever the hell I want." Here, play this clip. I certainly, even to this moment, I can do whatever I want, if I want. They've done some very bad things. You just mentioned it, just mentioned in the form of a question what they did, very illegal, what they did, many illegal things. But I view the presidency as a very sacred position, very sacred position, very important, very sacred, a position where it has to be treated properly. They talk about the word impeachment, so it's a very seldom used word. And he keeps on saying that he goes, "I can do very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I can do very bad things to Joe Biden. I can do very bad things to. " I mean, he's put a sick, what a sick, vile piece of trash he is. With that being said, I could have done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could have done very, very bad things to Joe Biden. I could have done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama. I thought it was inappropriate to do so because you have to treat the office of the presidency with respect. Then I found out that they impeached me twice. And I certainly even to this moment I have, I can do whatever I want if I want. By the way, if you're on Medicare, I've got good news and bad news that you might want to hear. According to the National Council on Aging, the average senior on Medicare is overpaying by more than $1,000 a year for their coverage. And it gets worse. One in 10 is overpaying by $2,000 or more. And only about 10% are on the plan that actually fits their needs best. It's easy to see why the system is so confusing. And that confusion allows unscrupulous brokers and insurance companies to rob you blind. That's why it's so important to talk to a trusted advisor whose only job is getting you the best coverage for you at the best price. The good news is I found an advisor for you. Chapter. Chapter is the only national Medicare advisor that compares every plan nationwide. They look at your providers, your prescriptions, and what matters most to you and your situation to help you find the best plan for you. If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you, if not, they'll help you fix it folks who found a new plan with chapter saved an average of $1,100 on healthcare costs. So find out if you are overpaying and get the best coverage for you by calling chapter today at 82 Medicare. That's 82 Medicare. By the way, in the background, you have Michael Dell and his wife right there. You see them. It seems that Donald Trump has Dell show up at the Oval Office like once a month now to talk about the same thing over and over again. Corporations condonate to the Trump accounts. They call them Trump accounts for kids. So kids are forced to basically acquire stock in the companies that the Trump oligarchs want them to acquire in order to inflate their stock prices. Got it. The reporter asked Donald Trump, so the Democrats want to impeach you. You're afraid they're going to impeach you. You keep on saying, what are they going to impeach you for here? Play this clip. You started telling me to turn voters to the Democrats when control of Congress. They will impeach you. For what? They don't know because they were asked that question too. I saw two Congressmen in the center. You're so far asked that question. They said, well, President Trump has created the greatest economy. When you see the real economy, what's happening with factories being built all over the country? Then in a very creepy manner, Donald Trump's like these young children, I guess you can use the term. But if you call adults children, you get in trouble for that. How are you talking about here? Play this clip. Nobody's ever seen these young children. I guess I can use that time. You have to be careful. Sometimes you call somebody you choose. It's about six months too old to be called you. You suffer the wrath of the press. But these young, beautiful children, they're going to be watching their accounts. They're going to be seeing what's going on. He's asked about the plague and the potential spread in Russia of the pneumonic plague. Let's play it. Trump is the plague in Russia, a IO weapon. Well, we don't think so. We're going to find that soon enough. But we don't think so. And if you listen to them, it's under control. People have said that before about other things. So we hope it is very sophisticated, very smart, and they're saying it's very much under control. So we hope not Peter. He's asked if there's any similarities between the pneumonic plague.
and what he's seeing now in Russia versus what he saw in China with COVID-19. Here play this clip. Now news is coming out as well that the Trump regime has asked the Pentagon to develop options for potential new strikes on Iran as Donald Trump is getting more desperate. As you all know, gas and diesel prices continue to surge, despite Donald Trump's fraud and headsets fraud. We actually don't control these straight-of-war moves, shocker. I've been doing a lot of reporting how even to have a tanker carry your crude out of these straight-of-war moves. It's 1.35 to 1.5 million dollars a day, whereas before the war, it was 30,000 dollars a day to hire a tanker and load it up with crude per day. That's adding $33 a barrel to the price of crude more over here. You have Pete Heggsitz as they're coming up with a war plan. Pete Heggsitz is in San Diego for the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln is back in San Diego. Remember how the minus touch network and others were reporting how low morale was. There was about six or seven marines and sailors who attempted suicide. The conditions were so bad. We've heard from all of the family members about how bad it was. And this is what he's doing here. Play this clip. For the enemy, the way that you did, you know, you made a arrangement. You guys were central to an arrangement we made with the Iranian Navy before this conflict. We decided to share the ocean with the Iranian Navy. They got the bottom half. More from Heggsitz over here who says, you know, the folks in the media tried to act like there were problems with this tanker. There's problems with this aircraft carrier. That's not the case. It's never been better. And fake news here are playing this clip right here. And there were a few folks in the media who tried to turn the USS Abraham Lincoln into some sort of a symbol, a symbol of dysfunction, or a symbol of low morale, or a symbol of a failed mission. And when I look out at right here and when I talk to your leadership and I have had a chance to talk to a number of you, I know it's the exact opposite. Yeah, and there you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. He'll be speaking in San Antonio. No governor, Greg Abbott, who doesn't want to be seen in the Trump on stage.
