All morning, Donald Trump has been whining and complaining that he did not get the Nobel Peace Prize. He's been posting, "I settled eight wars and close to ending or settling two more. I won a war in Venezuela. Yet with all of that, I or the United States of America did not get a Nobel Peace Prize. Wow." And as he's posting that, there was a mass shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania. Nine people are dead, including two children, a hurricane hit the United States. One million people, at least, are without power. Probably more. In the Middle East, you have very little, if any ships actually getting through the Strait of Hormuz, and a mass casualty event at the King Khalid Airport in Saudi Arabia, which was hit yet again by Ansar Ala. There are dozens of ambulances right now. By terminal three, we believe that there had been numerous people killed in this Ansar Ala strike. The Houthis warned they would do this if Saudi Arabia kept on striking Sana. We warned about this escalation trap. War keeps on escalating. Worse and worse throughout the Middle East. You have Russia launching more strikes into Ukraine yesterday. Over a dozen killed in Zapprecia in Ukraine. Ukraine launched strikes deep in Russia, hitting refineries in Samara, hitting refineries all throughout Russia after Donald Trump made his diesel deal with Russia. Meanwhile, a Greek flagged tanker carrying 270,000 barrels of Russian diesel is already about to arrive in the United States, meaning that ship left September 22nd. So this deal between Donald Trump and Putin was already cut, and from all of the reports coming out, it's exactly what we expected that went down when Zelensky met Whitkopf and Kushner in Kiev. They, it is alleged, threatened him that they were going to just fully embrace Russia overtly, essentially. If Zelensky did not stop striking the Russian refineries unilaterally, this was all part of a broader plan. And by the way, 275,000 barrels is nothing. It's not going to make a slight dent of a slight dent of the diesel crisis that Trump created by getting involved in the catastrophic war in Iran. America consumes about the 3.9 million barrels of diesel a day, 275,000 barrels. It's one ship that we're basically talking about here for the full destruction of the United States reputation abroad. Well, to be fair, Donald Trump destroyed it a while ago. And here's what he's posting this morning as well. Robert Jeffries, senior pastor of the first Baptist Dallas says he supports the public execution announced by the Pentagon. Folks, first Baptist of Dallas, they will be live streaming an execution right here on TV in the good all United States. Talk about destroying your reputation. Talk about destroying any moral authority or moral clarity. You're going to put Nadal Husan, Hassan who's a paraplegic in a, he's in a wheelchair and you're going to shoot the guy in a wheelchair and you're going to live streaming. You are some sick, evil, disgusting human beings. The Trump regime then rolled out their new mouthpiece, Katie Zakaria, WTF, by the way, there's a reason that I called the book WTF with my brothers. You could pre-order it now, by the way. It's available in hardcover, ebook and audio. Corporate news has basically banned us from talking about it on their networks. I didn't really want to be on their networks anyway. Support the book if you can. I digress. Listen to what Zakaria has to say. People need to give Trump credit. He's unilaterally bringing down the prices. What frickin world are you living in? You're playing this clip. But President Trump not only do we have Russia, but he also went to the G7 and negotiated that. So people need to start giving him credit for his multifaceted approach and how he's trying to bring down prices almost unilaterally all by himself. Yeah, but you put more from Zakaria who loves to use the word deleterious. Donald Trump is protecting us from the deleterious impact. What deleterious. So we are now bringing in very small amounts of Russian diesel to account for the fact that Trump launched a catastrophic war in Iran. Nothing says energy independence like getting 275,000 barrels of oil from Russia and Potash from Belarus. Gotta get that Belarusian potash. Remember, remember under Obama or Biden or even other presidents when you were just like, I need I need some Potash from Belarus. Yeah, we didn't have to think about stuff like that. But with the Trump regime, it is about forced scarcity so the oligarchs can laugh in our freaking faces while they're on their 12 yachts while they're in their 15 mansions and their 20 private jets that they can write off and deduct from their taxes. That's what this is all about. This is Zakaria. And as Aaron Rupar says, this is my first exposure to her play this clip. Yeah, I agree, Rachel and listen, President Trump solved eight conflicts and under 12 months in his first first year. And he will absolutely bring an end to this under his term and I I'm in full agreement with you that this deal is not actually deleterious to bringing peace. In fact, it works towards peace and I believe he's showing that he's going to be able to work a deal here. I fully trust him. He did it with Venezuela and he did it with he's doing it with Canada and he did it with Greenland. So I think we're going to see some historic winds and President Trump is going to deliver that. We just have to make sure we continue winning on these races and going back to his rally in Syracuse. I have never seen so much energy during the midterms and during all of these races. I worked in the '06 midterms at which we did lose and I have never seen a president ever work this hard for midterms races. More from Zakaria here and she says Donald Trump is certainly the most energetic president there ever be. There ever was in the whole history the guy who literally sleeps. He's the most energetic. This is so damn pathetic play this clip. His policies are the most effective, most exciting. He is the most energetic intense president we have ever seen. When I was there yesterday he went and showed me where the ballroom will be. The building is so fast. He is ahead of schedule under budget and it's going to be amazing. And just to see this vision he has for building but also for America and the greatness that America has and has always had and that he's bringing back I can't wait to work for President Trump on Monday. So whatever it brings he's full of surprises but I'm really excited about it. And more over here as she tries to spin the Russia diesel deal play this clip. Because this diesel announcement even though it's getting criticism from Zelensky is quite significant as Americans are struggling to deal with pain at the pump and of course diesel prices which really affect all aspects of our lives. Yeah well President Trump has heard people have been frustrated with the gas prices. People are frustrated with the increase in grocery prices and he is delivering what he always does which are solutions. And though there are frustrations with some President Trump has never been unambiguous. He is an American first. America first president. He is putting America at interest first. American citizens first with this deal and we will have cheaper gas, cheaper groceries with this diesel deal. You can see the map over here of the Greek flag tanker Minerva Zen which carries 275,000 barrels of diesel or gas. It's going to reach the US East Coast on October 11th, meaning this ship has been out to see for a long time. This plan was in works for a very long time. And also behind this plan, what Donald Trump is trying to send a message is Russian refineries are under our protection now, Zelensky. Stay away. Well, Zelensky wasn't doing that. I'll show you the B-roll right over here, Samara, Zelensky striking refineries there. I showed you earlier this morning another video where you saw some strikes. Also my heart goes out to all of the people right now in Erie, Pennsylvania. Nine people including a suspect and two children are dead after a mass shooting an hour's long standoff in Erie. Going to police, two women were initially found dead in the street. Then more were killed during the standoff. We believe officers were involved as well. 925,000 residents that actually may be more people are without power. And Donald Trump is posting about public executions and saying the first Baptist of Dallas supports my public executions, the King Khalid airport has a mass casualty event, things are escalating in the Middle East, which is going to further destroy the oil markets. And more significantly just there is mass catastrophe and war throughout the world by another name. Some would call it a world war. And Donald Trump, he's traveling to take his clown fascist circus, I know some people like circus and I know some people like clowns, that's why it's fascist. To Clarksville, Tennessee this afternoon or evening where he's going to hold the rally. And I'm sure he's going to say it would be a small price to pay if San Diego and Los Angeles was bombed by nuclear weapons. What do you think you like my Russia deal? But don't you dare say I ever have Russia, Russia, Russia, I just do my deals with Russia, but you can say I'm going to sue you if you say Russia, Russia, Russia, pathetic freaking fascist baby. Meanwhile, we're seeing I did a video on this at eight countries across the world from Canada to Japan, countries in Europe and elsewhere, backing the international criminal court after the U.S. imposed terroristic sanctions against the ICC. The Trump regime treats the ICC like it is a terrorist organization and his imposed sanctions on them while lifting the sanctions on Russia. And Marco Rubio said, we will destroy UICC in service of Netanyahu. And they said that publicly, it's like Obundu saying Netanyahu, no, Donald Trump literally said it, Cam David, we're going to destroy the ICC for Netanyahu, Israel, Netanyahu first. That's what Trump said. He said it. You don't believe? He said it. Okay. Let me just show you the clip quickly. Here's the clip of Trump saying it. Here, play this clip. I'll always come with receipts here. On the Mightest Touch Network, just so you know what we're talking about. I always have everything is backed with a receipt. Take a look at this. This is from our partners at Ground News right here. We partnered with them for this video. If you look at over here, there's almost no coverage from right wing media about the story. Canada backs international criminal court after U.S. imposes sanctions. One of the reasons I partner with Ground News for this episode and others, they're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting. Ground News is a website and an app that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and it organizes them by story to show you how's the left reporting it, how's the center, how's the right framing stories differently and they have this color coded layout. It helps inform if I have a blind spot do I see trends on how certain types of media are covering things or covering things up like I showed you there. They're not going to cover on the right wing that countries are standing up to Donald Trump because their narrative is no Donald Trump tells and dictates the terms. No, he doesn't. People view the United States as a deeply unserious and dangerous country right now. So I use Ground News dedicated blind spot feed. They also tell you was corporate news reporting on it or was independent news reporting on it. And I believe in Ground News so much, we're going to offer you 40% off of the same vantage plan, the research tool that I use.

So if you want to support this channel and get a clearer understanding of the world, try out ground news. So I took a look as well at what some of Republicans, some of the Republicans were saying in the past, some prominent ones in the Trump regime about buying oil, gas, diesel from Russia, Marco Rubio, March 9th, 2022, in 2021 under Biden, America produced 1.1 million barrels of oil per day less than in 2019. If Biden would let America get back to 2019 production, we won't need a single drop of oil from Venezuela or Iran or anyone else. We only buy two, the two zero nine zero zero zero barrels of Russia from oil per day and Rubio goes, stop importing Russian oil, start producing more American oil again. That's the plan. And then it's house Republicans. This was March 1st, 2020, President Biden needs to stop financing Putin's war with Russian oil because he shut off the spigots of America's energy. There's so many more of these. How about just even a recent one, July 28th, 2026 Senate Republicans. Thanks to Senator Lindsey Graham's leadership, we are closer than ever to passing tougher Russian sanctions targeting those who bankrolled the Russian war machine through oil purchases will crush Putin's ability to fund this war. So where state regime media, which calls itself Fox on this, well, Rachel Campos Duffy, the wife of the idiotic reality TV show, transportation secretary Sean Duffy, who spends our taxpayer dollars doing reality shows, traveling the country. She claims Ukraine has killed a million kids on the Russian side. Where's what she said playing this clip? What the people on the left and right are worried about in Zelensky too. These are people who want war, who say a deal with Russia on diesel could possibly mean we might get an end to the Ukraine war, which would be amazing. We could spend less money there. We could stop killing. I mean, there has been a million kids killed on the Russian side, a million on the Ukraine side. It could be good not just for diesel prices, but if you care about peace and saving lives. Yeah, I agree, Rachel and listen, President Trump solved eight conflicts and under 12 months in his first year and he will watch as White House press secretary Katie Zakaria nods along on Fox and French as Rachel Campos Duffy, Sean Duffy's wife who hosts this show says Zelensky isn't ingrate who keeps blowing up refineries. That's ingrate, you're playing this clip right here. He is an American first, America first president. He is putting America in interest first, American citizens first with this deal. And we will have cheaper gas, cheaper groceries with this diesel deal. You know, Katie, it's really interesting the criticism. He's getting it from the left. He's getting it from the right. He's getting it from that ingrate, Zelensky who keeps blowing up refineries. And making things more complicated for the president ahead of the midterms. As I noted, the volume through the straight of Hormuz is basically non-existent. I mean, there are some ships that are using the southern route still that get by, but Iran's been able to really stop the ship to ship transfers recently as they struck tanker off the coast of UAE and Fugera on the east, on the west by Dubai, another tanker. They struck as well this past week. They struck a tanker by Qatar. And so the volume is really decreasing. And I've also talked about this at length. The cost of a VLCC per day, a very large crude carrier. It's about $1.5 million a day right now as the straight of Hormuz is controlled by Iran before the war. around $30,000 a day. So that adds about $33 per barrel of oil just on the cost of transport. But Donald Trump's doing a $275,000 barrel. One VLC carries two million barrels. Just so you have an understanding of oil. And Donald Trump is doing deals that have $275,000 barrels. And he's presenting it as this big victory. Because what this is really about when Whitkopf and Kushner were meeting with Zelensky, they threatened to cut off intelligent sharing with Ukraine. If Kiev continued to strike Russian oil defineries, Russian oil refineries. And so when Zelensky said, "I will do it. I will stop hitting the refineries if there's a ceasefire. If Russia stops striking Ukraine infrastructure." And Trump said, "No, it's got to be unilateral by you." And Zelensky said, "I won't do it." So then Trump basically said, "Okay. Well, then I'm doing this deal with Putin. And now this is part of the U.S. package. So if you strike those refineries, you're basically saying, "I don't care. I'm going after the U.S. And we will then retaliate against you." That's what this is about. You have Poland's foreign minister, Sikarsky says, "Our embassy reports fuel shortages, even in Moscow, which is always prioritized for supplies. Moreover, serious sources report that Ukraine has already damaged about 50% of Russia's refining capacity. So where will the surpluses for export come from?" Kala, who's basically the VP of the European Commission. She said, "Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU member states and NATO allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war. This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia. And Europe won't. On Monday, EU foreign ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanction listings targeting Russia's war machine since the start of the war." You see over here the Ukrainian drone striking Samara. Zelensky posted how there were 12 people killed and zappreciate from Russian attacks yesterday. And this is an important report I wanted to share with you before we go. The U.S. has been reportedly urging Israel to launch a unilateral strike on Iran during talks over the past two weeks because Washington wanted Israel to bear the political risk ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, believing a strike could hurt Trump politically, but benefit Netanyahu ahead of Israel elections. Israel's military chief warned the U.S. that such an attack could postpone the elections in Israel. And that's only when Washington temporarily dropped the demand. But the plan was to say, "Israel, can you do it for us?" And Israel said, "No, we want to wait till after our elections." There you have it. Hit subscribe, get your copy of WTF America.
