hon
the protests are not going away Donald
the protests are not going away Elon
that was a protest in front of a Tesla
store in Boston shout out to the
peaceful protesters there you saw a
saluting Elon joining the Tesla takedown
protesters there thank you to Descent
Pins for posting that meanwhile at Mara
Lago they're partying donald Trump was
golfing again he wrecks the economy
destroys our lives then they party at
Mara Lago the oligarchs and their
spouses taking selfie photos laughing at
the American people who are suffering as
Donald Trump lies and claims that he
solved inflation and claims that egg
prices are down and gas prices are down
and everybody's doing amazing donald
Trump says when we the people know
that's not the case donald Trump's
destroyed our economy he's destroyed our
alliances abroad he's destroyed the very
brand that was the United States of
America and here they are look RNC chair
Michael Watley and co-chair Casey Crosby
at a spring gala at Mara Lago so not
only is Donald Trump spending our
taxpayer dollars to golf again this
weekend and to bring all of his staff
and where he houses them at Mara Lago
that we the taxpayers pay for but
they're doing the RNC gala so Donald
Trump can make more money and grift even
more i previously reported this but it
bears mentioning again that Donald Trump
and his regime are now preparing a
military parade in June on his birthday
7,000 troops tanks parachute jumps 50
helicopters airplanes it'll cost around
$und00 million at least so Donald Trump
can look like North Korea's Kim Jong-un
in a military parade in Washington DC it
is so utterly embarrassing right now let
me remind you of five things alone that
Donald Trump did this week one he blamed
Biden for the stock market tanking two
he called for criminal investigations of
pollsters over his low approval ratings
three he claimed gas prices are under $2
a gallon four he was a no-show at the
White House on Friday and ran cartoons
of himself instead of the press briefing
that he said that was going to take
place and then he went golfing i could
add 6 7 8 9 10 very easily donald Trump
posting AI images of himself dressed as
the Pope right after Pope Francis's
funeral giving the middle finger to the
Catholic community and whether you're
Catholic or not whether you're even
religious or not this is the height of
being disrespectful mocking the Catholic
religion could you imagine if former
President Biden ever did anything like
this the New York State Catholic
Conference put out a statement uh just
before they said "There is nothing
clever or funny about this image Mr
president we just buried our beloved
Pope Francis and the cardinals are about
to enter a solemn conclave to elect a
new successor of St peter do not mock us
Donald." A powerful statement from the
Catholic Conference of New York and I've
been seeing a lot of other statements
like that from the Catholic community
and others who aren't even uh religious
or Catholic we reported on this before
but again I want to reiterate it here a
big election victory for the Labor Party
in Australia which is their left center
party in Australia anthony Albani there
who's the prime minister will go on to
secure another threeyear term their
right-wing party in Australia which is
called the Liberal Party led by Teimu
Trump a guy by the name of Peter Dutton
got obliterated it was embarrassing it's
showing the entire world that if you
stand with Trump you will fall for
everything you will fall in the
elections and you will get embarrassed
the way Pierre Polv of Canada lost his
riding Peter Dutton not only lost the
election for the Liberal Party in
Australia again which is their
right-wing conservative party he lost
his own seat as well it was the worst
election day pretty much in the history
of that Liberal right-wing party in
Australia and folks here's why too i
mean take a look at what the Trump
regime is doing internationally you have
Secretary Marco Rubio making the
following statement attacking Germany we
have the United States Secretary of
State attacking Germany and he goes
"Germany just gave its spy agency new
powers to surveil the opposition that's
not democracy it's tyranny in disguise
what is truly extremist is not the
popular AFD which took second in the
recent election but rather the
establishment's deadly open border
immigration policies that the AFD
opposes germany should reverse course
shut the f up secretary Marco Rubio you
despicable you know what you don't need
to interfere in German elections the AFD
is a faright extremist party that many
have called
neon-Nazi a far-right extremist party
the German Foreign Office has to respond
and teach democracy to Secretary Marco
Rubio from the despicable Trump regime
the German Foreign Office writes "This
is democracy you idiot." Well they
didn't say you idiot they said "This is
democracy this decision is the result of
a thorough and independent investigation
to protect our Constitution and the rule
of law it is independent courts that
will have the final say we have learned
from our history that right-wing
extremism needs to be stopped marco
Rubio Michael Cohen not the Michael
Cohen on the Midas Touch Network writes
"Nothing to see here just the US
Secretary of State advocating for an
anti-Semitic anti-Islamist right-wing
German political party and then getting
posterized by the German Foreign Office
social media manager." And folks I get
asked this question a lot here which is
how do I do research on the Midas Dodge
network what are the tools that I use i
use a tool called Ground News at
ground.news/MTN is where you should go i
use a feature called Blindspot because I
want to be informed what's the
right-wing talking about what's the
leftwing talking about i want to come
with receipts and facts here when I do
these hot takes each and every day so I
use Ground News it keeps me informed i
use their blind spot feature and if you
want to do the type of research I do I
suggest you check it out go to
ground.news/MTN or scan the QR code
we're giving our viewers 40% off Ground

I've just discussed and more ground News
is subscriber funded so they don't rely
on ads that could also introduce bias
subscribing supports our channel and
their independent team working to keep
media transparent again it's
ground.news/mtn ground.news/mtn
news/MTN because I
wonder is this getting coverage on the
right wing or are they just trying to
cover it up as well that a air traffic
controller in the New York airport has
told CNN it's not safe it's not a situ
not a safe situation right now for the
flying public do not fly into Newark
avoid Newark at all costs a direct quote
from an air traffic controller saying
"US airspace is now unsafe in the Trump
regime we've gone five days going on six
of major delays at Newark with FAA
citing staffing levels because Elon Musk
and Doge fired all of the FAA air
traffic controllers they gutted the
agency there's not the right staffing of
people working there." And remember I
said what now for three weeks there's
going to be a I call it a Tom Hanks
moment referring to CO where Tom Hanks
got COVID and people were like oh
we should take this seriously i guess
like a miracle it's not going to go away
i guess the seven cases are not going to
go to zero like dear leader was saying
maybe we're being defrauded donald Trump
is the rugpull presidency the Ponzi
scheme presidency in any rug pull in any
Ponzi scheme eventually when you rob
Peter to pay Paul it's eventually
uncovered and you get busted and things
go bankrupt you want to know why Donald
Trump's gone bankrupt over and over
again he covers up things turns a
mistake into a catastrophe a catastrophe
into a bankruptcy that's how he's run
all his crap into the ground throughout
his life he's doing it again right here
travel alert united flights will cancel
35 daily roundtrip flights at Newark
Liberty starting this weekend due to the
air traffic control shortage shortage
united CEO says the FAA has had to
implement another ground delay program
at Newark flight due to air traffic
control staffing issue delays are
averaging 1 hour and 43 minutes saturday
is actually the sixth day in a row for
Newark's ATC staffing issues let me show
you how ABC described it here play this
clip was Friday the United Airlines CEO
saying more than 20% of Newark's air
traffic controllers walked off the job
this week forcing the airline to
indefinitely remove 35 roundtrip flights
per day starting today writing since
there is no way to resolve the near-term
structural FAA staffing issues we feel
like there is no other choice in order
to protect our customers new York is
incredibly important because flights go
out and come in from all over the world
and it has a direct uh impact on the
rest of the nation's flight control
situation when it begins to go down
multiple shifts of air traffic
controllers monitoring Newark airspace
now on weeksl long medical leave
following an equipment outage on
Wednesday the controllers calling it a
traumatic experience more than 350
flights delayed Friday alone on average
arrivals behind by more than 2 hours
leaving already travel fatigued
passengers frustrated sat on the tarmac
for about 40 minutes ahead of the busy
summer travel season there's now push
for more air traffic controllers federal
officials announcing a new plan to
expand the workforce and create a
state-of-the-art air traffic control
system but could take years to build now
folks the incompetence the lethal fatal
incompetence is across the Trump regime
right you know how they're bragging
about their air strikes with the Houthis
in Yemen well the New York Times is
reporting on a visual analysis shows
that the US likely bombed a migrant
detention center in Yemen on April 28th
at least three US made GBU39 bombs at
the site of the attack which killed 68
African migrants according to the
Houthis a militant group that controls
northern Yemen that's what they're
bombing and would it shock you that
that's what they're bombing you think
about what they're talking about on
Signal you're talk you're talking about
what the way they deal with everything
the way they've handled the tariff
formulas which were all made up and has
led to a disastrous trade war no deals
Donald zero deals 90 days
spencer Akimeian posts the following las
Vegas is taking it on the chin
unemployment is going up in Nevada no
way around it at all donald Trump
destroyed Atlantic City in the 1990s
he's destroying Las Vegas in
2025 go look at what's happening at MGM
right now go speak to people on the
ground in Vegas this is a three alarm
fire in Vegas right now if you're from
Vegas tell me in the comments below what
you see going on there i'll leave you
with this democratic Congress member Gar
Mendy he exposed a $150 billion
Republican slush fund where they're
stealing healthc care money and lunch
money from children as a slush fund
for what the defense budget
they are screwing over Americans the
most vulnerable is who they attack this
dastardly Trump regime play this clip
have we lost our
minds have we forgotten about what we're
supposed to do as make rational choices
for the benefit of American people
$150
billion out of the mouths of children
who are not going to get a school lunch
program or a breakfast
program that's what's happening
here this is a
real a real situation in which we are to
make
choices and I would challenge anybody on
this committee Democrat or Republican to
give me a rationale why we should be
reducing health care services across
this nation why we should be reducing
educational services why we should be
giving billionaires an additional tax
cut so that we have $150 billion slush
fund for the military we spent a whole
year going through the National Defense
Authorization Act line item by line item
committee by committee and came to the
conclusion 860 billion was
enough and that was a 15 billion more
than the year
before and here we are 150 billion i
asked for support of this elimination of
this $ 1.5 billion slush fund for the
Sentinel program well there you have it
