Hey, who's driving? I've only had four.
Where are we going now? Donald Trump is just getting smothered with bad news this morning.
Ben Meiselas 0:44
You have the prime minister of India Modi saying that Donald Trump is absolutely lying. that they had a conversation where Modi said he wasn't going to be buying Russian oil. Modi said that conversation never took place at all. Donald Trump's approval rating is dropping even more. It's at 37% right now. That's as the No Kings protest officially became the biggest mass protest in the history of the United States. We're learning more about the collapsing, flawed, fraudulent ceasefire deal that Donald Trump did in the Middle East that Israel and Hamas did. never even signed. The bodies of 57 Palestinians have apparently been brought to Gaza hospitals in just the past 24 hours from some of the Israeli shelling taking place.
Ben Meiselas 1:38
Israel says that Hamas violated the ceasefire. Hamas claims it hasn't violated the ceasefire and says that Israel's cutting off humanitarian avenues. Hamas says it's not disarming. Israel does not support. The Netanyahu Smutrich level do not support a two-state solution. We'll keep you posted on what's going on there. Also, Lebanese media says that there have been three Israeli airstrikes. targeting the southern areas of Lebanon as well. I'll just show you this clip right here. This is when Donald Trump lied and claimed that he just had a conversation with Modi, and Modi told him that he would not be buying further oil from Putin. And Modi's now saying that conversation never took place. Donald Trump's a liar.
Ben Meiselas 2:26
Here, let me just remind you what Trump said.

What breaking headlines greeted Donald Trump as he returned to Washington DC?

Ben Meiselas 2:27
Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 2:29
We have a great relationship. No, we were not happy with him buying oil. From Russia, because that lets Russia continue on with this ridiculous war where they've lost a million and a half people, by the way. Russia's lost a million and a half people, soldiers mostly. This is a war that should have never started, but it's a war that Russia should have won in the first week, and they're going into the fourth year, and I want to see it stop. So I was not happy that India was buying oil, and he assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia. That's a big stop. And he's assured me there will be no oil purchased from Russia. I don't know. Maybe that's a breaking story. Can I say that? Would you say?
Donald Trump 3:07
There will be no oil. He's not buying his oil from Russia. It started. You know, he can't do it immediately.

How did India’s Modi publicly contradict Trump’s claim about Russian oil?

Donald Trump 3:12
It's a little bit of a process. But the process is going to be over with soon.
Ben Meiselas 3:17
Now, even Marjorie Taylor Greene came out with a statement this morning criticizing Donald Trump and Republicans for not having the House of Representatives open. Marjorie Taylor Greene posts, the House should be in session working. We should be finishing appropriations. Our committees should be working. Then she says we should be passing bills that Trump wants. But Trump's the one actually who wants bills. To keep the House not working, Marjorie Taylor Greene, because they don't want the 218th signature on the Epstein petition from Adelita Grijalva, the Arizona congresswoman-elect from their 7th congressional district. And Marjorie Taylor Greene says this about MAGA Mike. for the decision to refuse to work.
Ben Meiselas 4:02
As our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski writes, today, Mike Johnson will have had the House adjourned for 77 out of the last 89 days. House Republicans have worked just 12 days in three months. Can I just repeat that again for you? House Republicans have worked 12

Why is Trump’s approval rating falling and how did the No Kings protest factor in?

Ben Meiselas 4:20
12 days in the last three months, because you'll recall they shut down Congress over the summer because they didn't want to debate the Epstein files. Then they came back and they stopped working again because they don't want to talk about the Epstein files. And they don't want their members even talking to Democrats, yet alone negotiating with Democrats about protecting people's health care. 20 million Americans about to lose their health care. In addition, one of the things that the Trump regime's White House rapid response account just posted in response to Governor Newsom's press account saying that this shrapnel from these ordinances, these missiles and these artillery shells from these howitzers, one of them exploded over the road and the shrapnel fell everywhere, including on police vehicles.
