This has been a disastrous Sunday for Donald Trump.

His Sunday is unraveling quickly.

The ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip has all but collapsed.

The Israeli Air Force continued strikes against areas in southern Gaza and central Gaza as well this morning, targeting sites that it claims are controlled by Hamas.

On the other hand, Hamas says that Israel has violated the ceasefire repeatedly.

We're learning that Israel is halting the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip as it ramps up these military strikes.

Both sides accusing each other of violations of the ceasefire.

A massive wave of attacks in southern Gaza just taking place right now.

And we're just getting this news.

11 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks across Gaza today.

And folks, from day one, the Midas Touch Network was never calling what transpired a historic peace deal.

We called it a very fragile and structurally flawed and likely fraudulent ceasefire.

And I think our reporting was spot on once again there.

We'll keep you apprised, but this ceasefire is all but dead.

It is over as the strikes continue and the war rages on.

Yet another failure by Donald Trump.

So what's Donald Trump doing?

Just pretend that that isn't happening.

He's sending his sycophants on the various news programs this morning like maga mike johnson and others and their message this morning was give the man a nobel peace prize we spoke with the knesset everybody says that trump should get a peace prize you idiot the war is raging the war is raging right now okay former president biden brought back 83 percent of the hostages and he wasn't spiking the football he didn't have all the world leaders show up.

Time magazine didn't do, by the way, the Time magazine photo of Donald Trump, though, was a horrible photo of Trump.

It was a great photo, but

didn't get a Time magazine, the peacemaker.

What the hell were we even doing?

Like, how stupid is corporate news to report on it the way it did when it was so obviously one big fraud, the same way that Donald Trump says that he brought in $20 trillion here?

Play this clip.

We are now a truly historic peace deal that just by sheer force of his personality, President Trump was able to push through.

And I think he greatly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

In fact, Speaker Ohana of the Knesset and I have joined forces to try to collect as many signatures as we can from other speakers and leaders of parliaments around the free world to join us in co-nominating President Trump for the next Nobel Peace Prize.

There's no one's more deserving than that.

So that was MAGA Mike Johnson there talking about Donald Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize, Nobel Peace Prize.

And here was Donald Trump from this morning talking about $20 trillion.

I brought in $20 trillion.

Nobody's ever done it.

Watch Donald Trump say that here, play this clip.

Don't forget, and I haven't used it, but don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act.

50% of the presidents almost have used that.

And that's unquestioned power.

I choose not to.

I'd rather do this.

But I'm met constantly by

fake politicians.

politicians that think that

it's not like part of the radical left movement to have safety.

These cities have to be safe.

I think this photo right here is apt.

Sir, the victory lap was premature, sir.

It wasn't that it was just premature.

It was a fraud from the outset.

So what is Donald Trump doing today?

So after the no kings protests yesterday, the largest mass mobilization in the history of the United States taking place yesterday, as Donald Trump is seeing that this fraudulent ceasefire unraveling quicker, I think, than perhaps even he expected.

Who the hell knows if the guy even cares?

He's just roaming around Mar-a-Lago today on the taxpayer dime, roaming around Mar-a-Lago, crashing people's weddings at Mar-a-Lago.

That's for real what this idiot is doing.

He's also making social media posts.

Now he's moved on, maybe didn't move on, but he's not focused today on Maduro of Venezuela.

Today, he's talking about President Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Donald Trump does not know how to spell Colombia.

One, two, three, four times in this rambling, rantic post where he calls President Petro a drug dealer, he spells Colombia incorrectly.

So also, if you want to know why he made that post, the president of Colombia posted on social media that Donald Trump's, those strikes on the fishing boats killed innocent Colombian fishermen and that they were war crimes.

And the president of Colombia wanted answers why Donald Trump was committing war crimes against innocent fishermen of Colombia.

And so Trump responds to Petro by saying, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia is an illegal drug dealer, strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs all over Colombia.

It has become the biggest business in Colombia, spelled wrong, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it.

And then Trump goes on to say,

the USA is subsidizing them.

As of today, these payments or any other form of payment or subsidies will no longer be made to Colombia.

The purpose of this drug, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Wow, wow,

but do y'all remember that after the election, one of the first people that Donald Trump attacked like right away was Petro of Colombia as well.

So this is what Donald Trump's doing today.

While he's doing that, we also learned about the deals or or the total capitulation or should i say throwing our entire fbi structure under the bus for bukele the dictator of el salvador a great story the well-researched story this morning from the washington post how marco rubio the secretary of state promised to betray u.s informants in order to get donald trump Donald Trump's El Salvador prison deal.

You know how we were sending migrants, many of whom were not criminals at all, to that concentration camp in El Salvador, right?

That's one of the places a Brego Garcia went.

That barber from Venezuela, the gay barber, went there.

There were a lot of innocent people who ended up going there, getting brutally, sexually assaulted, attacked, violently beaten, beaten.

So how was that deal made between Donald Trump and the dictator of El Salvador?

Bukele?

Well, they have the exclusive details here in the Washington Post.

So El Salvador's President Bukele demanded the U.S.

hand over nine MS-13 leaders in exchange for access to Bukele's prison.

During a March phone call with Bukele, Marco Rubio noted a problem.

Some of these men were informants to the U.S.

and under U.S.

protection officials said.

To deport them, Attorney General Pam Bondi would need to terminate the DOJ's arrangement with these men, Rubio said.

He assured Bukeley that...

Bondi would complete that process and the U.S.

would hand over the MS-13 leaders.

In promising to terminate the informant arrangements, current and former Justice Department officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years, perhaps decades, of work by U.S.

law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world's most deadly gangs.

Nixing the agreement also threatens to damage the credibility of the Justice Department, which routinely relies on informants.

to build cases against high-level criminals, officials said.

At least three of the MS-13 leaders Bukeley requested had divulged incriminating information about members of Bukele's government.

Officials said one of them, Cesar Lopez Larios, was sent back to El Salvador two days after the Ruby Bukele phone call.

The deal is a deep betrayal of U.S.

law enforcement whose agents risked their lives to apprehend the gang members, said Douglas Farah, a U.S.

contractor who worked with federal officials

to investigate and help dismantle the MS-13 gang.

The State Department dismissed criticisms of Rubio's dealmaking, saying the Secretary's diplomacy allowed the U.S.

to deport hundreds of alleged members of gangs and Trende Aragua to El Salvador.

Americans are safer as a result of these incredible efforts.

Actually, America is far less safe as a result of what is taking place here.

And we know drug prosecutions are down significantly and drug investigations are down as Donald Trump focuses on arresting the food vendors, the farmers, the factory workers, the construction workers, and people who have been here for decades, paying taxes and actually supporting the United States of America.

A lot of people ask me, how do you stay up to date on all of this news when you do these morning reports?

Well, I use something called ground news that I just want to talk about super quickly.

It's a subscriber-funded app and news site, and every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story.

and then show you what the right's reporting, what the center's reporting, what is the left reporting.

It is a game changer as an active and responsible owner of a media company and as an active and responsible citizen wanting information.

I think that ground news is a necessary tool in that.

That's why I love ground news.

They also tell me, is this independent media reporting on it?

Is it a large conglomerate reporting on it?

Often I find that independent news is more reliable than corporate news, but not always the case.

I use what's called their vantage subscription plan, and I especially like their blind spot feed.

It highlights the stories that are disproportionately covered by one side, whether it's disproportionately covered by the right, the left, or the center.

It all spells that out for you.

And for example, when I was looking this morning on how's the right, how's the left, how's the center covering the fact that this ceasefire in Gaza is basically collapsing?

You know, I've actually found fairly,

the distribution of reporting has been fairly even amongst right, center, and left, which I think is an interesting sign that I think everybody's beginning to recognize what we've been saying last week, that this was an utter failure.

Just if you want to know and use the tools that I use, go to ground.news slash MTN.

It's the plan that I use.

Now, back to the news reporting as well.

We'll show you what Donald Trump said here when he said that he believes that he may use the Insurrection Act right now.

And he claims that 50% of presidents have declared insurrections.

and use the Insurrection Act.

Yet another phony fraud and lie by the phony fraud liar in chief.

Play the script.

Don't forget, and I haven't used it, but don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act.

50% of the presidents almost have used that.

And that's unquestioned power.

I choose not to.

I'd rather do this.

But I'm met constantly by

fake politicians.

politicians that think that

it's not like part of the radical left movement to have safety.

These These cities have to be safe.

By the way, I was also looking at the morning shows to see if any of them would cover that Donald Trump posted a video, an AI video of himself literally defecating on protesters and wearing a crown while defecating on protesters.

You would think maybe that's a news story, but no, they were like, ah, that's just Trump being Trump.

Any other person who would do that, it would end their presidency.

But the media goes, eh, that's just Trump being Trump.

But they did ask this question to MAGA Mike Johnson.

I thought it was a good one.

This is from this week on ABC.

Magga Mike Johnson was asked, could you swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow?

Why don't you hear play this clip?

When are you going to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva?

As soon as we get back to legislative session, when Chuck Shearmer allows us to turn the lights back on.

Why haven't you done it already?

Because this is the way the institution works.

I'm following the Pelosi precedent, by the way.

When my dear friend from Louisiana, Julia Lettlo, was elected to fill the seat of her deceased husband because of COVID, Nancy Pelosi took 25 days to swear her in.

By the way, are you saying, let me stop you?

Are you saying that Nancy Pelosi refused to swear her in earlier?

No, I'm saying, that's my very point is this isn't.

Because my understanding is that was the date that actually the representative-elect Lettlo at the time requested.

She had obviously hurt her.

Okay, here's some more examples, okay?

No, no, but wait a minute.

Mentioned the Pelosi precedent, but Pelosi didn't delay that.

No, no, let me give you more of the Pelosi precedent, okay?

And what about the Johnson precedent?

I mean, you swore in two Republicans the day after their election.

I'm happy to answer.

I'm happy to answer.

Pelosi President, Pat Ryan, Joe Simplinski, they were elected during an August recess.

So 21 days later, when the House returned to regular legislative session, they were administered the oath.

That's what we're doing.

We're not in session right now.

Rep Gojava was elected after the House was out of session.

As soon as we returned to legislative session, as soon as the Democrats decide to turn the lights back on so we can all get back here, I will administer the oath on the state.

You could swear in tomorrow, right?

No, not tomorrow.

No, we couldn't.

We wouldn't.

There was an exception for two Floridians earlier in this Congress, but the reason was they were duly elected.

They had a date set.

They flew in all their friends and family, and the House went out of session on the 19th century.

So if she flies in friends and family, then...

We don't have a date set.

She was elected out of her.

Okay, let me ask you about the president.

Two other data points I want to give you right here.

On Fox, Magamike Johnson was asked by the Fox host, Peter Doosing.

So look, we know that Donald Trump did this historic peace deal with

Israel and Hamas.

He was so able to speak with them.

Why can't he speak with Hakeem Jefferies?

The very premise of the question is false because there was no peace deal with Hamas and Israel.

It was all a fraud.

It was all a phony.

Israel and Hamas didn't sign the thing.

They didn't sign the document.

It's a fraud.

Here, just play this clip, though, of Mike Johnson's answer.

Here, play this clip.

Just for a lot of people who have been paying close attention all week, President Trump negotiated a big peace deal.

At the same time, Democrats and Republicans cannot negotiate an end to this shutdown.

It's the 19th day.

Why is it that it seems like it is easier to talk to Hamas than Hakeem Jeffries?

It's a great, great question.

Hakeem Jeffries has the same problem that Chuck Schumer has right now.

They're both New Yorkers.

There is a rise of Marxism in the Democratic Party, and both of them are going to have challenges in their next election.

So they have to show a fight.

So they picked one on this short gap funding measure, the CR, that Chuck Schumer himself championed just in March, seven months ago.

The same exact thing.

The only difference is they're trying to cover their own backsides politically.

And it is shameful to us.

When people say, why aren't you negotiating with them?

Peter, I don't have anything to negotiate.

I sent them.

And I just want to show you as well, because Zelensky did his round of the morning shows as well.

And Kristen Welker said basically the same thing.

The setup to our question was, we all know that Donald Trump brought people together, did this historic peace deal in the Middle East.

So why do you think he's not being strong enough on Putin?

He's, of course, not being strong enough on Putin.

We know that for a fact.

But the premise of the question that Trump did a peace deal is a false premise.

He didn't do a peace deal.

He made up a fake ceasefire that lasted zero days.

As soon as he announced it, there were Palestinians who were being killed and both sides were accusing each other of violations.

Hamas and Israel didn't sign the agreement.

Trump doesn't believe in a two-state solution.

Netanyahu doesn't believe in a two-state solution.

Smochric, who's Netanyahu's right-hand person, says that they're going to start building more settlements in Gaza.

Hamas reasserts control, saying they're not going to disarm.

I don't know why this was being reported as something historic when it didn't change anything.

What it did do, and it's a good thing, the hostages were returned, the remaining hostages, but 83% were returned under former President Biden.

What don't we understand about that?

Here, play this clip of Zelensky.

Let's play it.

Okay, part of President Trump's success with Israel and Hamas was that he applied pressure to all sides.

Does President Trump need to get tougher with President Putin?

Yes, and even more

because Putin

is something similar

but more strong than Hamas.

It's more bigger war

and he is the second army in the world

and that's why more pressure.

And then finally, you see these weak, cowardly, MAGA-Republican senators.

These just these, I don't even know, obsequious, weak humans.

I don't even know how humans get this weak,

how they become so servile and stupid.

And this guy's asked this question: this MAGA Republican senator, you think it's a good idea to build a tunnel from Russia to Alaska?

And the guy's like,

whatever Donald Trump says,

whatever Donald Trump says,

how about you idiots idiots focus on giving the 20 million Americans who are losing their health care health care?

How about we start with that premise?

How about instead of giving $40 billion to Argentina, we focus on America?

How about we do those things?

These MAGA Republicans are the biggest idiots.

Here, play this clip of MAGA Republican Senator Jim Banks.

So Zelensky didn't think that's a good idea.

What do you think, Senator?

Russia to Alaska tunnel.

Peter, it sounds like

it seems like far-fetched, but maybe it's something that is possible.

I don't know.

I'll defer to President Trump, and I'm sure there's a reason that he's raising that prospect.

Again, he's several steps ahead in these negotiations of both sides.

He's trying to leverage one and the other to find something that can bring lasting peace and end the war.

And I'm sure that this is one thing that's a part of those negotiations.

I'll defer to President Trump.

We are going to play.

Well, there you have it, folks.
