It was just exposed that he will be holding a $1 million fundraiser.

He's trying to keep this quiet. Friday, October 17th, 2025, a big lavish party taking place at Marlago. While the government shutdown is taking place, it's $1 million per person to be at this fundraiser. This is as the American people are suffering as a result. of this government shutdown, more news about how Americans are being affected this morning by Donald Trump's disastrous policies. The Wall Street Journal reports grocery prices keep rising. Frustrated consumers are trying to adapt.

Shoppers are cutting back on purchases, stockpiling certain foods, or exploring more affordable stores. Remember the COVID stockpiling. Well, Donald Trump brought you that, and he's bringing that back right now. A grocery store clerk cited in this article in Chicago says that shoppers see the price and say, what the F? It happens all the time. And then they push that food away because they're unable to afford it. We're learning more details right now about the Trump regime cutting a critical EPA program, a $20 million flood protection grant for Alaska's native village of Kipnuk in Alaska. The Trump regime cut the Biden program in May, saying that it was wasteful DEI spending.

But on Sunday, and this is not being reported by corporate news, Kipnuck was devastated by floods relating to a typhoon. This is in the western Alaska area. Homes were destroyed, residents were stranded, individuals died, and it's very likely this could have been avoided, had the emergency systems and had the flood protection systems remained in place that were under former President Biden. Does this sound familiar to you? It should because, remember, the flash floods in the Guadalupe River in Texas, which the Trump regime and Texas MAGA Republican Party is still covering up. Former President Biden provided emergency system warnings in the form of grants for that to be

built out. The MAGA Republicans in Texas said, too woke, we don't want to do emergency systems. So they took the money, didn't return into the federal government, gave themselves bonuses, and did not install emergency systems. Also, the federal government during the Guadalupe River flash floods, you'll recall that was right around the 4th of July. You had them shut down emergency call centers, and they also did not activate the urban search and rescue teams within the first day or two. Christy Noem did not sign off on the approvals. Speaking of Christy Gnome, what is she doing? What is the Department of Homeland Security doing?

They've been spending hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars running propaganda ads on networks. Their most recent ad buy was about $51 million of Christy nomads where she praises Donald Trump and threatens migrants. This is in addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars in ad purchases that they previously made as well. And one of the reasons that you may be saying, well, why is corporate news like not reporting on some of this key stuff like, Ben, I didn't even hear about Kip Nook in Alaska and Trump canceling the EPA flood protection systems? Well, one of the reasons also is they're getting paid quite literally hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government in the form of these ads that Christine Ome is taking out. There's a number of other reasons that corporate right-wing oligarchs being friends with Donald Trump and supporting an oligarchs. they want kings they want authoritarianism more than just a moment though Carl Keentania posted the following graphic as well I think it's important that we

look at this comes from the Harvard School of Business right here you can see how tariffs are actually impacting prices domestic goods as well as imported goods just look at the chart right here I mean you can see that the prices were going down both domestic and important under former president Biden you can see right here as soon as Donald Trump took office they start going back up um this is becoming very clear like just look at the graphic of where the prices were going they were going down and the reason why they were up under former president Biden is i know like we like to have that uh not we but as as a country you know that men in black magic wand that like erases people's memories Donald Trump destroyed uh

significantly the American economy during COVID. Our supply chains were destroyed. He printed money recklessly, administered the PPP program recklessly. And then former President Biden had to fix it. That's what happened. And so, yes, when you have to rip the bandaid off of what Trump created during his first term and all of the devastation from the trade war, yes, you're going to see problems. But we have to distinguish between the firefighter and the arsonist and not blame the firefighter

for putting out the fire of the arsonists. Speaking of these arsonists, I just want to play these two clips back to back for you. So this right here, Maga Mike Johnson at the press conference earlier, where he said the most threatening, he was asked by a reporter, what's the most threatening thing you're seeing out there?

Like what really scares you, Maga, Mike? And he's like, well, you know, I think it's the naked bicyclists in Portland, Oregon. Did you see that Antifa army of naked, cyclists. Here's what Maga Mike said. Here, play this clip. What I've seen is the abuse of law enforcement by radical leftist activists. You know, most recently, the most threatening thing I've seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ice down there. I mean, it's getting really ugly. And at the same time, Maga Mike has the audacity to say,

I think that ICE agents have not crossed the line when it comes to peaceful protesters. Here's what Maga Mike says there. And watch with the accompanying graphics. Let's play this clip. To demand oversight on federal law enforcement? I've not seen them cross the line yet. And we have committees that are jurisdiction who have that responsibility, but it's not risen to that level.

What I've seen is the abuse of law enforcement by radical leftist activists. Most recently, the most threatening thing I've seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ice down there. I mean, it's getting really ugly. They have attacked physically assaulted officers. People have been arrested, okay? This is serious business, and ICE and the valiant, brave, patriotic Americans who step up to serve in these dangerous law enforcement positions deserve our respect and our support.

And any elected member of this body should be vocally supporting law enforcement. You're supposed to be on the side of the good, not the crazy radicals. Did you know that the liver is the second largest organ in your body?

Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to ruthlessly mock Donald Trump over this photograph that Time Magazine used of Donald Trump with his neck looking mildly pornographic, and we have to censor Donald Trump's neck because of the way it looks apparently. But Governor Newsom pointing that out. Meanwhile, as I mentioned, you know, this ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which Israel didn't sign and Hamas didn't sign, is already showing the problems that would seem obvious to people if you just exercised common sense. The fact that Hamas says it's not disarming, the fact that Israel is saying it's going to go back and blow up the Hamas tunnels, the fact that Donald Trump said he doesn't support a two-state solution, Netanyahu doesn't support a two-state solution.

So when you factor those things together and you know the history of the region, I'm not really sure why earlier this week this was some spike the football moment. It was great that the hostages were released. That's a great thing. The prospect of a ceasefire, that's a great thing. But the prospect is not the thing. And we have to wait until the conduct takes place. We know that Hamas has reasserted control over Gaza, which yesterday Donald Trump said he was okay with.

He goes, I like that Hamas is going after the bad gangs in Gaza. you like that they're going after the bad Hamas is the bad gang what are you talking about Donald so Trump seemed to indicate support of Hamas yesterday we literally said it I played the clip for you multiple times so now though United States Central Command sent Com says we strongly urge Hamas to immediately suspend violence and shooting at innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza in both Hamas held parts of Gaza and those secured by the IDF behind the yellow line this is and then they put this in bold sentcom Historic opportunity for peace. So that's going to tell Hamas. That's going to tell Benjamin Net and Yahoo. Just use big, bold letters like Donald Trump's social media post. Well done, Sencom. Hamas should seize its fully standing down,

strictly adhering to Trump's 20-point peace plan and disarming without delay. It didn't call for Hamas didn't sign it. Hamas didn't agree to disarm. That's the thing I've been shouting. There's multiple versions of this ceasefire plan. that exists. And that's one of the points I want to bring out. Meanwhile, another Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire in southern Gaza today. I think the death toll now is over 10 since the ceasefire of Palestinians who have been killed. There was more shooting, more tank fire this morning

in certain areas in Gaza as well. We're following what's going on there very, very, very closely and we'll keep you a prize. Meanwhile, Donald Trump posting more videos of shooting fishing boats, tiny fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela and posting ISIS-style or we should Hamas-style death videos. Trump's posting his own ISIS-style videos of the United States military, unlawfully blowing up fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela because the United States and Donald Trump bragging about their barbarism.

And meanwhile, you have Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other MAGA Republicans continuing to roll out a new line about the no-kings protests taking place this weekend. They go, no kings equals no paychecks. No-kings equals no paychecks. I'm pretty sure our country was founded on the exact opposite thing that we don't want kings in order to be in order to be free. But anyway, here's what Besson says play this clip. I believe that the Democrats will come to their census soon.

Maybe it's after this no kings thing, but no kings equal no paychecks. And then he gave this interview on CNBC, and here's what he wrote. This is his line, no kings equals no paychecks. This is going to be the most far left, radical, extreme thing imaginable. Play this clip. We're on day 15, and it doesn't look like there's any sign of a deal. Well, there's a thought out there that they're at least waiting to this crazy no kings rally this weekend, which is going to be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is, you know, a big title. And, you know, no kings equal no paychecks. We are paying our military today. The Pentagon went into surplus funds and will be able to make.

pay paychecks and you know i and then maga mike goes in and maga mike says we're going to see the pro-hamas pro-terrorist wing of the democratic party this weekend these are peaceful protests of americans of americans who don't like the idea of a tyrant of an authoritarian like trump and sycophants like maga mike destroying our country ripping away our health care making things far less affordable destroying the quality of life destroying government but here's what and Mike says, let's play this clip. I mean, the contrast between these parties could not be any more stark. And I encourage you to watch.

We call it the hate America rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you see pro-Hamas supporters. I bet you see Antifa types. I bet you see the Marxist in full display, the people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic. And we do. And that's what we're here doing every single day.

You know, Matthew Iglesias makes a good point right here. He goes, this is driving me insane. When Joe Biden was president, the idea of a ceasefire deal that returned the hostages but left Hamas around to lead in Gaza was portrayed by the American Jewish right as the greatest betrayal of the Jewish people in history. But when Trump does it, this is now viewed as some genius plan. I couldn't agree more. I mean, Trump's plan has Hamas still in charge right now. And Trump was saying he's, oh, he's good with that. Trump verbalized that multiple times in the clips that I've been showing you over the past, you know,

keep saying it over and over again. I want to highlight this as well from Heretz, which is a paper in Israel, by the way. I want to be clear what Heretz is. So freed after two years in Gaza, Nimrod Cohen told his father that the food dwindled when aid was blocked in March. And after Monday's reunion, Yehuda Cohen said, those responsible primarily the prime minister must step aside. And by the way, Benjamin Netanyahu was at his court hearing today for criminal charges against him for bribery and fraud. Here's what took place. There you have to six million subscribers.
