It's been a disastrous Wednesday morning for Donald Trump in his despicable regime. He sent Steve Whitcoff to Russia where Whitcoff demonstrated once again what a Putin bootlicker this Trump regime is. You had JD Vance, Donald Trump's VP and Cincinnati saying that there's no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently with access to the government. More than Donald J. Trump. He just hates people who enrich themselves with their access to the government. First, let me show you JD. Then I got to show you what Whitcoff was doing. Then I got to show you what Zelinsky said and then what Rubio's been saying and what we've also learned about Elon Musk, throttling, Starlink, StarShale. Then yes, folks, two more tankers, maybe three or four more tankers have been struck and destroyed in the Strait of Hormuz. Let's first take a look at this clip right here. This is JD Vance from this morning. Let's play it. These things. There's no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J. Trump. I think he's been a great advocate. Obviously, for our anti-fraud efforts, he's been the person who's driven most of our anti-fraud efforts. Fundamentally, the president is not going to stand for this, but we're not going to try people in the court of public opinion or in a let real facts develop. That's one thing I'd say to the American people. I see a lot of stories about our administration and sometimes my initial reaction to them is I really don't like that. Then when you read the details, you realize that a lot of what's being accused is one anonymously sourced or two. It's just completely fraudulent. There's no real evidentiary basis for it at all, which is why again, we don't try people in the court. Okay. Now we have Steve Whitkoff, who met with Putin this morning. Now Steve Whitkoff told Putin, you know, Putin, you talk so much about Donald being a humanitarian. You're the best humanitarian that there is. It's you, Putin. Here, play this clip. He's 75 years old then, and you talk so much about my president, president, Trump being humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir. I so that I commend you when I thank you again. This way you put a tent to sleep on with more from Whitkoff's meeting with Putin this morning. Whitkoff says, Trump is so grateful for your decision to remove the export controls on Russian diesel. It is making a huge difference here in the United States. Play this clip. You're a decision to remove export controls on diesel oil from Russia until sell not just to the United States, but also to the world at large. In the midst of this economic shock, I think that was a really important act. I know the president is deeply grateful for it. So our farmers and other truckers who use diesel have been affected and adversely affected by this diesel crisis have people all over the world. So it's an example of us all working together and I want to say thank you to you for that. It's been making a huge difference. The price of diesel continues to go. I don't know what world y'all are living in right now. And so here's what Putin said in response to that, which was basically, you know, like a troll in my view, following the announcement from both sides about diesel supplies, prices on global markets fell by five to six percent. You feel it at everybody. Are you feeling a five to six percent decrease? No, because it's not happening. We are preparing to ship several vessels immediately. The tankers are being prepared right now. The first tanker it will depart in two or three days carrying 40,000 tons of diesel. Putin says more will follow one after another. We only need to ensure that the financial arrangements are in place. So everything works. Okay, the financial arrangements, meaning more sanctions relief, the removal of more sanctions and permission of giving Putin licenses to sell, but 40,000 tons just so you know that number. That's like what 200 to 300,000 barrels. That's less than two hours of diesel in a day. This is nothing in terms of the world market. That's like three minutes, four minutes of diesel. That's what they're talking about right here. Then I'll just show you how that meeting began with Whitcoff to Putin. Thank you, President Putin. It is so good to see you play this clip. So good to see you. Sorry. Putin told Whitcoff we have a special trust-based relationship with our partners in Iran. If we can contribute to the resolution of the war there, we would be willing to do so. Folks, this is what the United States has been reduced to. The US gets itself involved with Netanyahu in a catastrophic war in Iran. The US loses said war, the price of gas and diesel surges to record highs. The Trump regime does a diesel deal with Putin, removing sanctions against Putin. Putin comes in and says may I be the mediator between the United States and Iran while Putin and China and North Korea also plan for a new global order that completely destroys the post-World War II architecture led by the United States. But Putin knows how to flatter Trump. I know that President Trump attaches special importance to the Ukraine War, mostly because of the humanitarian issues. Putin says, in other words, I know that he doesn't give a crap about Ukraine or Zelensky. I know it's a matter of humanitarian issues and winning a Nobel Peace Prize. What does Marco Rubio say? Rubio has been traveling from Uzbekistan to India. Here he is in India. And here's what he said about Ukraine. He goes, look, Trump, the US government, we have nothing to do with starlink or star shield. That's a consumer product. That's Elon Musk. That's SpaceX. We have nothing to do with that. That's just what they do over at SpaceX. So if Elon Musk throttles it, Trump doesn't have any say in Elon Musk's decision. At all, they really want YouTube to believe this. And this is what makes this regime so utterly weak and pathetic as well. It's like all they do is lie. Here's Rubio. Let's play it. Well, again, the president has nothing to do with the decisions that are made by starlink and star shield. And by Mr. Musk, that's a private company. The president doesn't run that company and can't direct that company to do anything. I'm not aware of any foreign knowledge. But again, the reporting was not about foreign knowledge. I'm telling you there was no foreign knowledge. But beyond it, even if there was, we don't control what a private company, how they decide their product can be used. Ukraine president Zelensky was on state regime media Fox this morning. He said starlink star shield is indeed still limited. Ukraine drones are still being throttled right now. They can't go over 161 kilometers per hour. Whereas the Russian drones go 450 kilometers per hour. Play this clip. About starlings are shit. It's still limited. But secretary told me that he will work with his team on this to unblock this question. God bless. It will be done. So here's how they were reporting all of this on state regime media Fox. Ducey. Here's what Ducey says. Play this clip. One Musk has been very critical specifically of the Ukrainians lately. It sounds like Elon Musk just has issues with the way that technology he invented and that he controls is being used. He thinks based on his public statements, Elon Musk believes that these commercial products are being used essentially for offensive military operations, which is against the law. He does not want that. He thinks it's bad for business. He might have throttled it. But again, officials here thought that President Trump was going to have more luck ending this war almost two years ago.

Netanyahu gave a really dangerous and strange speech earlier today. Here's how he described what's happening in the world. He said, "Iatola Mojtaba decided to follow in his father's footsteps. He pulled the trigger, and Iran is once again trying to develop its bomb of death. Therefore, there is only one way to remove this threat, once and for all, overthrow the regime in Iran, and that is my directive to the IDF, Masad, and the security service. This is my commitment, the commitment of my colleagues here, all of us, and now it is also your commitment to ensure Israel's eternity to overthrow the regime, eliminate the access of evil once and for all, and to bring security peace and prosperity to the state of Israel. We have to do it with strength. We have the spirit to do it." Trump said a few days ago, "We are ready to finish the job." He said, "We are ready to finish the job, but we will do it only with you, the state of Israel, and that is exactly what we will do," referring to more catastrophic war in Iran that the American people absolutely don't want this catastrophic war. Meanwhile, in the financial times, Iran's foreign minister Arahjee posted an op-ed or wrote an op-ed, while Iran is firmly committed to seeking a dignified, peaceful resolution to the conflict, we are also fully prepared to defend ourselves, writes Arahjee, the country's foreign minister, over there. Speaking of, two, maybe three or four tankers struck in the Strait of Hormuz, UKMTO reports two incidents this morning, but as we know, UKMTO says, "The majority of tankers don't report when they are hit in the Strait of Hormuz. One tanker was hit," and I believe it actually is probably more than one tanker, right off the coast of Iraq, and I think that's significant because the Trump regime had Prime Minister Zahidi of Iraq shut down the borders to Iran, and so I think we're going to be seeing a lot more Arahjee resistance activity in Iraq. They're part of the access of resistance, and I think we're going to be seeing a lot more Iranian strikes right by the coast of Iraq as well. Also, others in the Strait of Hormuz, the price of crude, continues to surge. Donald Trump's polling continues to tank. CNN's poll shows that Trump's approval at 32 percent there. Reuters' Ipsos was 31 percent. I think the gallup one the other day was what, like 29 percent. Here's how they describe his approval on CNN, let's play it. The numbers show Democrats leading Republicans by 10 points in the race for Congress among registered voters. That's the biggest advantage CNN has measured since just before the 2020 election. What is driving that? Well, you can probably guess it. A mix of anxiety over the economy, a desire to shake things up in Washington, and President Trump's sinking approval numbers. His approval rating in this poll is now at 32 percent. That is a new record low. Here with me, CNN Washington Bureau Chief, the political director for CNN, David Chalian, the vibes from voters, they want change, and the view on the President has gone from bad to not getting better, David. Yeah, you are totally right about the change aspect. I think it's a hugely important factor. I mean, nearly 8 and 10 are looking to shake things up in Washington. You noted the 10 point advantage on what we call that generic congressional ballot for Democrats. That is a good place to be, obviously, two weeks out for them. I want you to look among independent voters. Democrats have a 15 percentage point advantage among independent voters in the choice for Congress. That's Kate. And Kate, the Trump factor. So if you look here, nearly six and 10 voters in our poll say that Donald Trump is a factor, and by a margin of two to one, it's a factor in opposition data. Yeah, it's a bad factor. This is what it means to be a drag on the party. I think you could, that would be a nice definition of what that, no, what are they saying in the Maga Republican stooge cohort? What are these Trump mega stooge is out there saying? Well, Maga Republican Eric Burleson says, look, here's what, here's the most important thing he says for our constituents. This is a Maga Republican saying this. He says, they don't want to go back to weak presidents like Joe Biden, who allowed us to get into this hellscape that we're living in. This is what they're saying here. Play this clip. At the end of the day, I think a lot of them shared the values that President Trump has, which is that they see that the existential threat that Iran has posed. And they don't want to go back to the period in which we had a democratic week president like Joe Biden or Democrats who were in office who allowed us to get into this hellscape that we're living in, where we allowed these foreign terrorists to dominate the Western United States. And so they get it. They're bought in. And you know, that's the kind of messaging that we wanted to hear. I wanted to hear from them firsthand. We did an entire tour throughout the district and that's what we heard. This hellscape that we're living in, y'all control all the branches of government. You control the presidency, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court. This is you. The hellscape is you. You are the arsonists. It is you. Zelensky was asked on state regime media fox. Would you accept a peace deal that freezes the borders right now exactly where they are with Russia taking a lot of territory that they already did? Are you good with that? Yes or no? Watch what Zelensky says play this clip. Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the way it is right now where you still keep 75% or more of your country? Regardless of how it started, would you be, would you accept where it is right now? Yes. Right now we have to freeze. And I think this is real way to end this war. And more Marco Rubio on Ukraine. As I said with Rubio, the more he lies, the bigger his ears get. And boy, those ears getting really big here play this clip. Well, again, I'm not going to comment on what we knew that there were my men. I do. So if I said to say that the reporting out there was that somehow the United States government was denying them something they needed in order to defend their country. That's not true. That's not accurate. And for leaders in Ukraine to continue to represent that is also not accurate. I would also say, and again, I heart back on this statement that was made a few days ago. I don't know who this official was in the Ukrainian government that went around saying that a bunch of people had died as a result of what America was denying them. Not only we're not denying them, and it's not true. How many millions of people have been saved because what America has already provided? No country in the world has done more to help Ukraine over the last four and a half years in the United States, including under the Trump administration. There you have it, everybody. Oh, it's out.
