The transcript blends financial advice, political commentary, and current events to critique the accuracy and transparency of claims made by the Trump administration.

Moments ago, Donald Trump held a press conference outside of the White House where he announced prices are coming way down. Things are looking great. They are obviously not. Let's play this clip. The prices are coming way down. I'm seeing down, down, down. Big improvement from the previous administration. Then at the same press conference, Donald Trump announced that he was launching a women's health task force that will be led by RFK Jr. Here, play this clip. Also establishes the White House Women's Health Task Force, which will mobilize the entire federal government to coordinate action focused on improving women's health. And this task force will be led by Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert of Kennedy. That's a big one. He's been fantastic. I have to tell you. It's a little different. We understand that, don't we? Cheryl, do we understand he is a little different? But that's what makes him good. I think. I'll let you know about it. That's what makes him good. Trump then continued to brag about his meeting with Xi Jinping, which he claimed was last week. There was a little over a month ago. China, substantially ahead of China. When President Xi was here a week ago, he said, you guys are doing very well. He came off the plane. He said, wow, what a job. What a job the United States has done in the last less than substantially less than two years. And then he said that Melania would be involved in this women's task force. And so he had her also signed this executive order that he was apparently signing. And then as she was signing it, he said, I don't know if her signature means anything at all. And then he encouraged people to laugh at her. Okay. What are you saying? What are you saying? I don't know if her signature means anything. What are you saying? You are saying the most important thing. That looks great. Melania then turned her head away from Donald Trump as he tried to kiss her cheek. Let's play this clip right here. Great job. Just so you can hear what Melania was saying when it was her term to speak, her time to speak. I don't really know what she was saying. Something about superintelligence being amazing and that it's not artificial intelligence. And I don't know, he or she played this clip. We now possess extraordinary scientific capabilities, such as superintelligence, advanced by technology and groundbreaking therapies. Meanwhile, on the other side of the White House, you had Trump's economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, saying that we're in an economic boom right now and actually the economy has never been better. These are the lies that the Trump regime is spewing on CNBC. Play this clip. Play this. If the economic polls that you're talking about were correct, then people wouldn't be taken trips to Diso Tells. They wouldn't be flying. They wouldn't be buying cars. They wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy. So sentiment, like true set of it, is best measured by what you see that people are doing. And what people are doing is they're acting like we're in a boom. And the reason they're doing that is because despite what the polls say, we are in a boom. Now, even the Trump propagandist on CNBC, Joe Kiernan wasn't really buying it, even though he's as mega as you get. And so he said in the last few months, didn't it flip where wage growth was actually being swallowed up by inflation, where inflation was more here. Play this clip right here. Kevin, in the last few months, didn't it flip where wage growth was slightly below the rate of inflation so that it, I mean, that did a couple, just for a couple of months in a row, but it was those months. And so accumulatively right now, the best estimate off of the sets of data is what they do at Steve Moore shop. And it's said that we're plus 2,000 relative to January. And if you look at you, you can Google how many straight months, how many straight months have wages under, under it was the last, it was the last two or three. And we're still there. We're still in that fear. We got it because yeah, we, that's right. It underperformed in the last month because of again this whole blip blip. That explains a lot more from Karen in on CNBC and Trump's top economic advisor, Kevin Hassett. And Karen is like, yeah, but according to all of the data, you've actually never seen in history, Americans so sour on the economy right now. And then Kevin Hassett, Trump's economic advisor is like, well, that's because it's a political poll. And it's just the Democrats think the economy's bad. But Republicans are thriving right now. He says, let's play this clip. Yeah, you have never seen Americans so sour on the account. I guess they're not quite as sour on the economy as a French, but geez, yeah. But we're going to look like France if they have their way. But the thing about the sour, you know, I've looked very much into this. The thing is that it's at a highly partisan time where emotions are high. And when you look at surveys, the Democrats of these surveys think that we're in the Great Depression. And you see this say at the Michigan Survey, they have a political breakdown. And the Republicans think that things are fine. And so I think that the economic surveys have kind of lost their value at least in this partisan time. And in the end, you know, I'm not a pollster. I'm an economist. I talk about the pluses of minus of the economy. I try to get my numbers straight. And I think that right now on net, it's a very, very strong economy. And one of the stronger economies we've seen in a long time. You meanwhile, you take a look at what's going on in Iran right now. Yesterday, recall Donald Trump posted that Russia's been such a great partner with the United States. And they're not helping Iran in any material way. And they could be working with Iran so much more than they are. And so we should be thankful that Russia wants to get its diesel out into the world market. It's going to bring down all of the prices. Just do a quick fact check. It's not going to change the price of diesel in any material or meaningful way. Diesel's still going to go up. Russia doesn't have a surplus of diesel in the amount that Trump discussed. 300,000 tons of diesels. A very small amount. We've gone over that before in any event. Today, as I'm recording this, you have Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov. He is in Iran with Iran's foreign minister, Iraqi. And they have had their holding meetings about further economic cooperation, expanding the nuclear cooperation between Russia and Iran. They already have a JV in the Bouchier nuclear plant. They will be building other nuclear power plants, as well throughout Iran. And here's what Iran's foreign minister, Iraq, she said. The even greater mistake they are now making, which the United States started, is to portray this conflict as a civilization war. To escape the Quagmire, they themselves created. They now turn to history, searching through its depths to find occasions when Iranians attack them. In my opinion, these are merely attempts to deceive themselves and the international community. No civilizational war should be encouraged, and no such war should exist today. And he's referring to a lot of the statements coming out of the State Department. Rubio was recently in Greece, and he was in Athens, where he was talking about, you know, he did the speech in front of the Parthenon, and he made this, you know, this is a Western civilization against Persians, and that that's what this is about. He's been traveling. Rubio has been traveling to a lot of other locations. He's been in Uzbekistan, today, and I'll go over what Rubio has been saying in just a moment. In addition to foreign minister Iraqi, Iran's foreign minister, and IRGC spokesperson said this morning, from a technical and military standpoint, the United States lacks the capability to initiate another conflict. However, with elections approaching, it may attempt to manufacture a military success for political purposes. We are not ignoring any possibilities and remain fully prepared to respond. This time, our response will be more severe. While you have Iran's foreign minister Iraqi meeting with Lavrov, here's what Russia's foreign minister Lavrov said while in Iran. Russia has no intention of abandoning its implementation of its agreements with Iran in the economic and investment spheres. Our specialists are gradually returning to the blue.
sheer nuclear power plant. There were also major prospects for cooperation in the extraction and transportation of hydrocarbons, and it should also be noted while they probably won't publicly discuss it. Everybody agrees that Russia is providing Iran with military support and intelligence like Iran provided Russia with military support and the form of the Shahi drones which Russia then upgraded to the Garen-4 and Garen-5 drones. And so there's a lot of cooperation there militarily, economically, politically, although Donald Trump claims Russia's not doing any of that at all. Also, Russia's foreign minister Lavrov, in order to leave no doubt, said the following, "I am convinced that Iran's cause, just like Russia's cause, is a just one." That's what he's saying today, today. So you had Marco Rubio taking this trip. He was in Uzbekistan and other areas, and Rubio was asked the following. Zelensky said that the U.S. had paused some intelligent sharing earlier this week. Rubio is like, "I don't know where he's getting that from." There's been no pause here. Play this clip. "I'm sorry. I have a question. Zelensky said interview with NBC News. Yesterday that the U.S. had paused, then the zoom, some intelligent sharing earlier this week. Is that true?" "That we did what now?" "Pause, some intelligent sharing." "I don't know where he's getting these things from or why he's saying these things to the press. You should go back and ask him. There's been no pause. The United States, but again, what he should be focused on and what we want to be focused on is bringing an end to this war. That's what he should be focused on. That's what we want everybody to be focused on. That's what we want the Russians to be focused on." You know what's easier than fixing a problem, not having the problem in the first place. Your liver is one of those organs that you don't think about until you have to. Supporting a daily is one of those small things that can make a huge difference in how you feel overall, and that's where dose comes in. Dose for your liver is a clinically-backed liver health supplement. This isn't just another capsule or powder. Dose is a liquid supplement. It's taken in a daily two-ounce shot and it tastes like fresh squeezed orange juice. Here's why it matters. Your liver is your body's filter. It processes everything you consume and handles over 500 plus daily functions. Energy production, digestion, fat metabolism, vitamin storage. When your liver is overworked, you feel it. Dose helps cleanse the liver of unwanted stressors that may be slowing your liver down and promotes daily liver function so that your liver can do its job. Zero sugar, zero junk, zero calories. And when you take dose daily, you're going to reduce sluggishness, get rid of those mid-day crashes, support your metabolism, and even aid your daily digestion. Plus, this is the real deal. There are two double-blind placebo-controlled studies showing doses positive impact on liver enzyme levels. Are you ready to give your liver the support it deserves?

There is a pause where he's getting that from is that the drones that were linked to starlink and star shield have their speeds capped. It's also comes from the fact that even last night into this morning when Russia was striking hard in key with ballistics and cruise missiles, Ukraine's early alert system which used to be provided in concert with the U.S. wasn't working. That was this morning as well. So these are just the facts that are happening. But the thing with the Trump regime, whether it's Donald Trump or Rubio, they're words it's meaningless. Because all they do is lie. Every sound syllable utterance is an utter lie. Rubio also said that if anything there's just a misunderstanding. Perhaps it's just a software problem. A software glitch. That's why Ukraine is not getting the early alert system and the drone speed is cap. It's not a glitch here. Play this clip. I don't know. I mean, if it happened last night, I don't know exactly. I know a few nights ago there was a software problem involving their early warning system that I know sent comps. I'm sorry. I know that you comment been involved in looking at it. And that's a report they gave us back. I can't comment on what happened last night. So one of the most vial aspects of the Trump regime as well. They will do awful things. And then they will say it's a glitch. That's not actually what's happening. You're all not seeing it the right way. Then it's the lies and the gaslighting, which is so very Trump. It's why he's bankrupted all these things his whole life. These casinos. He's bankrupted all of these companies because he's a loser and he is an absolute liar. It's like what were they saying when it came to even this weekend when it seemed like meta was blocking or disabled the No Kings account, would they say, "Ah, the system was just overloaded. It's a glitch." On the one hand, they have all these data centers. And when it comes to their stock price and making all this money, these are infallible algorithms in the data centers. But we couldn't even handle the traffic for a No Kings protest. There was a glitch. There was a glitch when it came to the same time Donald Trump is threatening Ukraine to do the same thing that actually happened. It was a glitch and that's why the drones were not being able to access Starsheel. More from Rubio over here, what evidence do you actually have that Putin is open to peace talks? Let's play it. What evidence do you actually have that President Putin is open to peace talks to come into commuting? What evidence? I mean, I don't know. It's not a criminal case. I mean, what this is about diplomacy. And in diplomacy, you continue to try. And sometimes, unfortunately, when these conflicts are the kinds that we're talking about now, these are complicated. They're entrenched. In some cases, a deadlock sort of a stagnated conflict in which neither side is making clear victories, but both sides are inflicting tremendous damage. We're just going to keep trying to the extent we can. And he's so defensive. This is an criminal case. This is what we just keep on trying. If you don't succeed, try, try again. Okay, Rubio. More on Rubio, discussing Ukraine. United States, where he once again reiterated why it is that he's done the things he's done with suspending the sanctions for 60 days is because he wants to see if there's an opportunity for the talks that are going on right now with both Ukraine and Russia to lead to something positive and avoid another disastrous year of war and conflicts. Oh, that's it. Waving the sanctions against Russia was not about actually waving the sanctions. It was all part of the three-dimension on negotiating jobs, all the negotiating strategy. Uh-huh. Makes a lot of sense there, Rubio, because y'all are going to accomplish in the next 60 days what you couldn't accomplish when Trump promised that on day one in 24 hours, he would end the war with his magic words, which we probably know. Well, no, Trump's magic words were Ukraine's surrender. And Zelensky is like, uh, no. Okay, what else he got down? That was kind of my magic word. More from Rubio right over here. The latest spin from the Trump regime about around controlling these straight-up Hormuz, which they also say they don't control us. Even if we didn't launch this catastrophic war against Trump, they would have controlled the straight-up Hormuz anyway. Then imagine if they controlled it with nuclear weapons, it would be worse. They were going to do it anyway. No, they weren't. They weren't going to do it anyway. How do we know that? Because they didn't do it. They didn't do it anyway. But here's what Rubio says, play this clip. The second objective is they chose to take the straights hostage. They would have done it anyway. Imagine if Iran had a nuclear weapon. At that point, they could say, and by the way, we own the straights of Hormuz, and you guys can't do anything about it. Because we won't just hit ships. We'll use a nuclear weapon against you if you try to do anything about it. Then I'll leave you with these two final points and I'll do videos that go into more detail on all of this today. Qatar's defense minister, Shakesahu Dalfani, said the following about Iran. Germany and France had a conflict for almost 75 years with three major wars. But then they decided to establish economic ties. And it came first with Airbus in 1970. We want to build a bridge to use economic ties to prevent any conflict. Because Iran is our neighbor. We need to find ways to prevent any kind of conflict in the future. Countries like Qatar and others in the region actually want to bring themselves closer to Iran right now, recognizing that after the Trump regime lost this catastrophic war to Iran, Iran is both a regional and global player right now in a way it wasn't before. Share this with you as well. Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson Mahad Al Ansari also said the following. And this is something that I've been saying here as you know for a long time on the might as touch network. A colleague said people living in 1940 or 1941 didn't realize they were in the second or third year of World War II until years later. So we could be in the first year of World War III today if we fail to address these different crises. By the way, the financial times also had a headline recently that
that ask, are we heading into World War III? And you know, I've got a lot of criticism, some, not a lot, some criticism for some of the titles where I'm saying it feels like we're in World War III right now. And I said, I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. There's just these regional wars everywhere. And it appears that when you have regional wars all over the world, at what point do you call that a world war? And I also reflected when people were in World War II, did they say this is World War II? Or was it something that as it accelerated into year three and four, the contours of it just became more increasingly clear? So in any event, our book is out now, WTF America. I don't even have to say pre-order it now, so it arrives immediately. And I'd love to get your review on it. It's dedicated to you, the Midas Mighty. Tell me in the comments if you've ordered it.
