I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That's how things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.
Donald Trump is burning down America and burning down the world. Trump launched a massive escalation of his unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran over the weekend, further escalating it as we're recording this show. Donald Trump has been making posts saying that he and the United States should now be called the guardians of the Strait of Hormuz and that the United States has now reimposed its blockade on the Strait of Hormuz and will charge ships 20% of the value of their ships. If they want to leave the Strait of Hormuz, that needs to be paid to Donald Trump. We'll talk about what's going on during this episode. As you now know, Lindsey Graham died at the age of 71 as his office president. They said that it was very sudden what took place.
There have been FBI agents at his residence throughout this evening and throughout the day, unclear why they're there. The initial examination from the D.C. Medical Examiner's Office determined that Graham died as a result of aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Already, the governor is now appointing Lindsey Graham's sister to the seat? I've had lots of people from our international bureau saying, what is going on in the United States? You just appoint the sister? Like, what system do you have? It's a very good question. And it's, as you all see, clearly a very broken situation where uh where donald trump right now is saying well now that we're resuming war i'm doing a new war powers letter and this is a new war that started the old war ended back in april this is a new war that we're now doing and i'm just going to ignore congress all together
We'll talk about that. Tragically, ICE, Border Patrol, Gestapo, still out there killing people, hunting people in the United States. Earlier today, we learned of a 26-year-old Colombian man in Bidford, Maine, who was executed by ICE. We're now learning that ICE didn't even have a warrant for this individual. This 26-year-old Colombian man was here, had a social security number, was going through the lawful process, and just surrounded and swarmed by ICE agents and executed. And again, this follows the ICE murder of Lorenzo Araujo in Texas.
How did Trump’s new Strait of Hormuz blockade and 20% cargo fee proposal escalate the conflict with Iran?
uh over uh at the end of last week and you know let's not forget that ice has killed dozens and dozens and dozens of people in detention centers and throughout this country we'll talk about that on this episode uh donald trump's also announced that he will be doing an address to the nation holding a press conference at nine eastern on thursday people are like, what's he going to talk about? And from what's been leaked thus far, he's apparently going to talk about how the 2020 election is rigged, and he's going to spread lies about the 2020 election. And we know that Donald Trump's been working with Maduro's lawyers to try to cut a deal for Maduro to basically say that he was trying to rig the 2020 election, and then Trump's going to want to use that to invalidate
other results from 2020 and maybe declare that he won. We'll talk about what's happening. I sure as hell hope that corporate news does not cover that speech live. I mean, if they want to cover it afterwards and fact check it, but do not cover that speech live. Oil prices are now surging. The economy right now in the United States is in shambles. and with all of this going on the mega republicans have just announced about an hour or two ago that they were going to be introducing what they call reconciliation 3.0 you know how unpopular that disastrous bill is that they call the big beautiful bill they want to do another one in order to take an additional 350 billion dollars of your taxpayer money to give it to the defense department which ran out of a trillion dollars from the prior budget
