The transcript highlights Wise as a reliable, transparent solution for global money transfers, emphasizing its competitive exchange rates and fee-free model to prevent hidden costs. It then shifts to a critical examination of Donald Trump’s political claims, exposing inconsistencies and falsehoods—including exaggerated promises of financial handouts, inflated healthcare cost reductions, and false narratives about military and economic policies. The text accuses Trump of fostering authoritarianism abroad by supporting regimes in South America, such as in Bolivia and Brazil, through political interference and alleged bribery. It references specific incidents, including war crimes in Gaza and Iran, and the unlawful targeting of activists and prosecutors. The narrative also questions the safety and legitimacy of a pilot with extremist views flying into Israel, citing lack of credentials and prior warnings. Additionally, it points to diplomatic misconduct, such as U.S. embassy bribery in Bolivia and Russian funding of Trump’s White House plans. These claims collectively portray Trump’s administration as dishonest, dangerous, and fundamentally destabilizing, both domestically and internationally. The piece concludes by urging vigilance against misinformation and authoritarianism.

Donald Trump headed back from that disastrous speech in Alabama, where you could see empty chairs everywhere. Take a look just behind Donald Trump in Alabama. He was accompanied on Marine One by Natalie Harp, his human printer, and Laura Loomer, who he continued to give shout-outs to during that disastrous speech in Alabama. Loomer, a right-wing extremist, was posting photos with Donald Trump on her trip to Alabama. You see these photos right here. Now, as Donald Trump landed in Washington, D.C. around midnight, he was posting the following. He was posting that he would be giving all seniors $100 if they vote for him. He said he would be giving all Americans additional money. And every American citizen would then also get $5,000 if they voted Republican. This is how desperate this lunatic is. And by the way, if you added all of this up together, it would be somewhere in the range of $1.5 to $1.6 trillion to actually do this, which would again cause inflation to surge. He's actually not going to do it. I mean, he promised those dividend checks and tariff rebate checks and complete liar. But here's what he posted around midnight last night. I am pleased to announce that my administration will immediately begin sending. And he puts this in quotes checks. I'm nearly $100 to over 20 million wonderful seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, which we have already reduced by significant amounts. Seniors, we may have destroyed your lives and future generations of your children and grandchildren's lives. Would you like $100 to vote for me, please? And then Trump says, this money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless slush fund that has only been used by Democrats in Congress to pay for waste fraud and abuse. By the way, it was former President Biden that actually allowed the government to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies to reduce prices. I know Trump wants to try to take credit for things that Biden did. I think it's always important to call that out. But Donald Trump has made things far more expensive for everybody on basically everything else. It Trump's like, we did most favorite nations. We didn't do most favorite nations when it comes to prescription drugs. America is not paying less for prescription drugs than places throughout the world where healthcare is a human right. Healthcare should and must be a human right here in the United States. But let me get back to what Donald Trump was posting. Trump says, this $100 bill I'm giving seniors, it's separate from the equally substantial refund checks we are sending to one million Americans who were overcharged for their unaffordable care act plans by Biden. Why do I always have to attack Biden? It's like such a loser behavior. We're two years in. You've screwed up everything, grow the hell up, behave like an adult. Then he also goes, because I delivered on this very important issue for the American people, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump dividend will be distributed to every US citizen if and when the Republicans win the midterm elections. It is a condition. You must vote Republican. If you want a $5,000 check how utterly pathetic and the Trump regime, I know they like to scare people about communism. Well, this would be the worst form of kind of an authoritarianism, heavy handed government communism. And there's a reason why Donald Trump welcomes and loves the actual top communist leaders abroad. I mean, he loves Kim Jong-un. I mean, he loves Putin. I mean, he is the biggest bootlicker when it comes to communist authorities. He loves Delcy, you know, and by the way, the only reason he didn't love Maduro was he was jealous of the way Maduro does like a weird thing with Maduro at any event. Then Donald Trump posts the following. The Democrat social agenda would cost Americans trillions of dollars if they were elected to office. Ah, it's the Democrat social agenda. Not you claiming that you're going to be handing out checks to everybody. I mean, it's so utterly just you're going to scare people why the fact that Democrats want people to have healthcare. Oh my god, imagine living and having healthcare versus spending $1.5 to $2 trillion on Pete Hegsith destroying the United States military and running out of interceptors or building Trump battleships that could easily get destroyed by a $20,000 drone. Excuse me, that we prefer that the money might go to. I don't know, healthcare, education, helping people, making housing affordable, improving people's lives versus using it to I don't know, spend money for gloves that electrically shocked migrants. I mean, the Trumpers, if you know what we need, we need our ice agents to wear gloves that electrocute migrants and let's build 100 million to billion dollar facilities and call it alligator alcatraz in the Everglades. We won't even actually examine whether the conditions there will lead to the destruction of the facility in the first month. But let's just build it and say alligator alcatraz man and then do photos of alligators eating human beings. Oh yeah, man. Yeah, I mean, it's just stop it. A bunch of fascist freaking losers over here and then Donald Trump's like the great ballroom and military complex being built at the White House. That's what every American wanted. The White House to be turned into a ballroom military complex to have drones swarming over the White House and military vehicles and craft. Nobody wants this. What are you even doing? And then of course, it won't be a Trump midnight rant if he doesn't talk about naming roads after him. Trump interstate 47. Just such a loser. The fake news reports regarding the ongoing investigation into the disastrous renovation of the Federal Reserve building are total lies. The newly confirmed Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh has announced an in-depth independent audit and attorney general Todd Blanche clearly stated the Justice Department will investigate. Trump goes on to say Jerome too late Powell. He attacks Jerome over budget way behind schedule due to a total lack of leadership by Jerome too late Powell. You're still calling Jerome Powell too late. The former chairman of the Federal Reserve. You called him too late because you said he was too late in reducing interest rates. He kept interest rates the same. The guy you brought in Kevin Warsh wasn't too late. He and the Federal Reserve board unanimously raised interest rates and there's an expectation that there would be three to four more interest rate hikes over the next 12 months. Although the latest job numbers on Friday were so freaking disastrous with only 29,000 jobs created when we see revisions next month, it'll probably be another negative month when it comes to jobs. You probably lost jobs in September. That's why people are like, well, they may not be able to raise the interest rates now because the job market is so bad and if you raise interest rates, you could cause more jobs to lose the theory. That's the only reason why there may not be more hikes because the economy is so bad and people are losing jobs. But for the Trump regime, that's like spiking the football. It's like when Donald Trump talks about pot-tash deals with Belarus and Belarus is like, yeah, we've already committed our pot-tash to Asia for the year. Trump's like, I did the greatest deal with Belarus for pot-ash. I remember a time when I didn't have to think about pot-tash when Biden was in office or Obama was in office. I was like, I wonder if the Belarusian pot-ash, what are we even talking about here? Where Donald Trump announcing fake deals South Korea is going to do $54 billion LNG facility in Alaska and they're like, yeah, no, we're not going to be doing any of that. It's just lie after lie from this Trump regime. But with all of this going on, pay attention to what's happening. An emergency meeting was held in Camp David on Friday chaired by Vice President J.D. Vance, Barack Reved, propagandist for the Trump regime and one of Trump's personal stenographers. He got a scooplet on Friday night. Scoop alert from Barack Reved, the guy who told us that we are one day away from victory every day since March. We are one day away. Sources tell him it's gonna be Barack Reved.
posted this last night, Trump's top national security aids met secretly at Camp David on Iran and Yemen. And this report went on to say that it was a highly unusual meeting. Well, what's usual about this regime? I think everything is highly unusual, but okay. And then according to Barack Reveed, multiple officials who spoke to Barack Reveed and Axio said, quote, things were decided. Very, very bold announcement. Things were decided. The last comparable meeting was in June 2025, days before Israel went to war with Iran. Vance shared this meeting. Rubio was there, Hegsit was there, probably talking about the Book of Isaiah saying send me, send our young soldiers, our sailors and our Marines and the army to their deaths. Who else was there? CIA director Ratcliffe joined Chiefs Chair in General Cain, asked while his advisors were at Camp David, what his next move on Iran would be. Trump said, if I told you you would have a major story, but you will see a cliffhanger, a cliffhanger about whether our service members will be sent to their deaths or not in a catastrophic war, more war crimes will be tuned into the next season of the Apprentice. It would be a good Scooplet for the night. I mean, what are we even talking? This is serious stuff. This war is already catastrophic. The American people want nothing to do with this. The Trump regime has engaged in heinous war crimes in Minab, slaughtering little children there, little elementary school girls, this sick Epstein class slaughtering children at the sports hall in Lamar, using tungsten pellets that sprayed all over the children while they were practicing volleyball, murdering families at a wedding in Syrac County, the last major escalation, or murdering a family in Kesha mating and abetting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza. The Trump regime has blood all over the hands. They are war criminals. And as I said, you should not be allowed to run for the presidency in the Democratic side unless you promise all American people, Hegsith, Trump, Rubio, Vance, anybody in the chain of command who was involved in war crimes will be handed over to the Hague and that stupid ballroom will be demolished day one on live TV. If that's not your platform, get the hell out of here. It's as simple as that. And you have JD Vance with handy last but just a bunch of losers. How have we allowed these losers to have any positions? I mean, I watch this and I'm like, these are freaking losers. Why do we even allow these people to be like pretending they're normal? I mean, seriously, watch these, watch JD Vance here, play this clip. And then JD Vance is like, if the Democrats win, here's what's going to happen. Everything's going to fall apart. Congress is going to investigate Donald Trump on everything. The markets are going to tumble. Pathetic here, play this clip. Look, if if the Democrats win, here's what's going to happen. Congressional investigations as far as the ice, I can see not good policymaking for the American people. You're going to have American energy prices skyrocket because they're going to go to war against American coal oil and natural gas. You're going to more JD Vance who said, I understand Americans who are worried about gas prices. Have I blamed it on Joe Biden? Yeah, you do. All you do is blame everything on Joe Biden and Obama. And it's pathetic. Okay, Biden, Obama, they did it. You're two years into this regime. You all promised. You all promised. I didn't promise the American people didn't promise. You promised. Day one, war in Ukraine would be solved. Trump said he had magic words. He would use the magic words to Zelinsky. He'd use the magic words to Putin and it would resolve the war like magic. He couldn't tell us during the campaign those magic words. He had a save him for after the election. Well, here we are. The war is escalating worse than ever. No more never ending wars. Guess what? We are in catastrophic never ending wars that are crippling the people here in the United States. What else? Oh, you were going to have electricity prices would be cut in half. Well, that didn't happen. Gas would be $2 a gallon. That didn't happen. People would be able to afford homes. That didn't happen. You would have a health care plan. That didn't happen. Oh, wait, wait, wait. You did. You're going to give seniors $100 before the midterm elections. Oh, and you're going to tell Europe that they need to release their strategic petroleum reserves of diesel and crude to try to manipulate the market for the next 20 days. So you can say you see look what we're doing. Look what we're doing then escalate the catastrophic war and cripple the United States further. That's the game plan with all of this. It's all one big Fugazi one big fraud. Trump is a fraud. Trump is a criminal. Trump is a sex predator. Trump is a vile piece of trash thing. That's how he is behaving. Meanwhile, Iran yesterday. Did you know this? Iran struck three tankers in the straight of her moves yesterday. Seven tankers have been struck in the past few days. Here's an image right here of one of the VLCC's, these very large crude carriers that were struck yesterday. In three days, seven tanker struck in the straight of her moves. Remember when the Trump regime said we're going tanker for tanker. Remember when they said economic outcast. Remember when they said Iran has three days to live because the blockade is so successful. This was in April. Iran's pipes will burst. And when they burst everywhere, then guess what's going to happen. Then they're not going to be able to survive. Okay. A few other important developments I want to talk about. Okay. Yemen's on Surala made some major advances yesterday into Tais. They're pushing east. Remember the Houthis on Surala, they've taken over all of Western Yemen. Their capital is Sana. Saudi Arabia struck Sana the other day. The Saudi-backed PLC forces. So Yemen is controlled by on Surala all of the west down to Babel Mandab straight now and a little bit kind of towards the east. If you will, if you look at the map, the rest of Yemen's controlled by this PLC. But the big real estate is all of the west right because that's by the Red Sea. On Surala has that. The other area is Aiden and some of these other areas Marib, for example, that's controlled by the Saudi-back PLC. And so on Surala is moving east right now. Saudi Arabia has its weapons that it gets from the United States. They're giving it to its PLC. That's the war taking place. Now Saudi Arabia has been saying that it intends to support perhaps as many as 100,000 PLC forces to try to push back some of these advances from the Houthis. The Houthis have demonstrated that they've got a lot of powerful weaponry that they're using to push east. So all out war taking place in Yemen right now, pay attention to that. Pay attention to what's happening as well everywhere. But also what's happening in South America. I mean, there are elections in Brazil this weekend where you have President Lula of Brazil. The Trump regime is trying to oust him and they're trying to put in Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of Jair Bolsonaro. That was the insurrectionist former president of Brazil who's serving 25 to 35 years in a Brazilian prison. The Trump regime wants to try to freeze Jair, bring in an authoritarian puppet regime there. And this is what the Trump regime has been doing all across South America. And they've utilized their bag man, their agent, if you will, there. Someone named Fernando Serimado, who's linked with Brad Pascal, who's part of the whole Trump Maga network. Fernando Serimado, he's been putting in these Trump puppets all across South America. We've been reporting on all of that. Serimado has been prosecuted now by an independent judicial branch, independent prosecutorial branch in Bolivia. Bolivia has a president, president Paz, who's a Trump installed stooge in Bolivia. The attorney general is independent and has been prosecuting Fernando Serimado. Trump's Maga guy, Fernando Serimado is accused of attempting to murder his pregnant mistress or pregnant girlfriend because she knew about his connections to the Trump regime and how they were protecting and installing these dictators in South America and the allegations are linked with narco traffickers at the highest level while the Trump regime claims it's going after narco traffickers by blowing up fishing boats that are not the narco traffickers. Trump is installing. These are the allegations. The top people linked to narco traffickers.
trafficking to lead these authoritarian regimes in South America. And that's how the Trump is propping up. And he's calling that shield of America's. And so what the Trump regime did end of this last week, pay attention. We got to focus on all of this. They worked with the Bolivian president to kidnap the prosecutor. I kid you not. The attorney general who was prosecuted for Nando Ceramito, there are text messages from Ceramito about all of his connections with the Trump regime. A alleged alleged these connections that led to the attempted execution of his pregnant girlfriend, Mistress at the time. And she's cooperating. She posted this photo of Don Jr. and Fernando Ceramito Nadia Beller, who herself, she's a lawyer, she's an activist, she's great. And she's been posting this to expose it and she survived three shots to her face. And so just to be clear, what's happening in Bolivia, the Trump regime and Rubio, they are worked with their installed president, who's now ruling Bolivia like a dictator, to kidnap the attorney general prosecutor, who's prosecuting the MAGA South American agent Stuge for Nando Ceramito, who attempted to kill his pregnant ex-girlfriend Nadia Beller, who's posting these photos of the connections to Don Jr. And then the Trump regime is trying to interfere with the Brazilian election. So pay close attention there, by the way, also Sheldon Whitehouse posting that this ballroom, that this ballroom may be also funded with some Russian money as well. He says it gets smelier and smelier, a wealthy Russian businessman is apparently helping to fund Trump's ballroom, as at least the article that Sheldon is posting, or Senator Whitehouse is posting. Also the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia has been caught allegedly paying bribes to legislators in Bolivia's Congress. Senator Ana Maria Crispin filmed that happening and confronted embassy officials while it was happening alive. A few other things, the last thing I want to point out. So we now know the identity of that Omani copilot in the fly Dubai incident. His name is Hamam Al Hamami, you see him right here, apparently based on some, this is what the story is, based on some extremist views that he was known to espouse, Oman banned him from being a pilot in Oman. So he was banned. He was known according to Oman to have these views. But he was hired by fly Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Now Israel prevents any Omani pilot at all from flying into Israel. Also we know Israel and the Mossad have a very serious investigation and detection capability when it comes to people who are flying airplanes into Israel. So the fact that this pilot was from Oman would have already barred him from flying any plane into Israel. But just a very basic background search, CNN did one last night. They just looked at his like LinkedIn and his social media post, which have since an Instagram, which have been taken down. And they say that they identified from his tweets and from his posts certain types of extreme religious views. And it was very easy. It was public that they were able to find it is what they say. So the broader question I ask is, well, how is this guy able to fly the plane into Israel in the first place? If this is what's going on, by losing my mind, how is this guy able to fly the plane? And then somebody posted this. This is the aftermath of photos inside of the plane. Singapore Airlines flight, SQ321 on May 21st, 2024, which suffered turbulence and dropped 178 feet in 4.6 seconds, air Canada Boeing 787 experienced severe turbulence at 3600 feet. This is how it's supposed to look. And then you contrasted that to what this fly do by look like, which allegedly knows dive 17,500 feet in a plumber. This is the story without any flight experience whatsoever. No pilot. He wasn't a pilot. He grabbed the control, he pulled it up and saved the day as it was going straight down 17, 500 feet and then everybody survived. And that's what they're telling us, they know, that's what they're saying. Oh man, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
