BOOM! NOBODY NEVER EXPECTED Trump to DO THIS After Ukraine Drones Bombs Russian Refineries!

Russia just agreed to fuel America. Yes, that Russia, guys. The one that we've been told is the end of the world every night since 2022. Yeah, so Vladimir Putin picked up the phone with President Trump, and now millions of tons of Russian diesel are headed into the world market. The Treasury Department rewrote the sanctions rules overnight to make this happen. Sanctions were supposed to last forever. Turns out forever expires April 7th, kind of like a coupon. Oh, and who's furious? Vladimir Zelensky. He called it a gift to Putin, which is a bold complaint coming from a man who's received more gifts from American taxpayers than Santa Claus. Then here's a twist, guys. We're buying Russian diesel partly because we've stopped making enough of our own. California's policies under Gavin Newsom helped push refineries to close. Diesel's out here costing more per gallon than a fancy oat milk latte, and it's harder to get. So President Trump skipped Sacramento and called Moscow. It was easier to deal with the Kremlin than to deal with California. Oh and then it gets wild. Truckers just got tax-free red diesel. The federal gas tax may disappear before the midterms and governors in Pennsylvania, Washington and Oregon are hugging their gas taxes like a raccoon guarded a cheeseburger. Folks, meanwhile, Ukraine keeps on bombing Russian refineries which is a great plan if if your goal is making diesel more expensive for everybody on Earth, including you. Now, Iran is boxed in at the Strait of Hormuz, Canada's Mark Carney keeps on writing checks, and NATO? Four years, guys. Billions of dollars, endless summits, zero peace. President Trump did more with one phone call than NATO did with a buffet budget. And so now the critics say it's only nine days of diesel. Okay, correct. And they're missing the entire point here, and I'm going to show you exactly why in today's video. The media calls it a midterm stunt, red October, maybe, but nobody's telling you why your pump price hasn't dropped yet or who's really keeping it high. Well, today we're going to name the names.

Hit the like button on the way out. All right, let's start with the phone call, guys. President Trump talks to Vladimir Putin, one conversation, and all of a sudden Russia agrees to ship diesel, Not someday, right away. Here's the order. Trump's saying he's made a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel fuel to the U.S. The announcement drawing criticism as American drivers and businesses continue to struggle with near record prices at the pump. ABC's Marcus Moore is in London with details. Marcus, good morning. Oh, Wig, good morning. Overnight, some market prices softened on the news that Russia had agreed to release 300,000 tons of diesel to the United States and into the global market. And in all, a total of 1.8 million tons will be released over time as part of this deal. Now, the Trump administration is hoping an injection of diesel will help bring down prices. But experts say that immediate release of 300,000 tons of diesel would have a very little effect or impact on prices long term. and that that amount would only account for half of U.S. daily consumption. Also, there are doubts about whether Russia can even fulfill its promise. Of course, this comes just 30 days before the midterm elections. President Trump hoping that it will boost his approval ratings. These ratings have slumped in part because of the war in Ukraine. And the ramifications of this deal reach to Ukraine as well. Russia uses profits from its energy sales to fund the war that's approaching five years. This morning, Ukraine's president called this deal a gift to Putin. about 300,000 tons first, then another 500,000 tons in November, then a million tons. And then once Russia's refineries get patched up, 3 million more. This is not a delivery, folks. This is a parade. Now, President Trump announces it on Truth Social. Of course he does. No press conference, no 40-page report, just a quick post. The most powerful man on earth typing like your uncle at Thanksgiving. Then Vladimir Zelensky hears about this and he calls it a gift to Putin. Pause for a second guys, think about who's saying what here, okay? This is the man whose war has run on American money for a good four straight years at least your money, your grandkids' money, and now he's worried about somebody getting a gift, sir. You've received more care packages from America than a summer camp. The latest diesel deal between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin has officials here in Ukraine outraged, namely Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who called the move weak and said that it would essentially embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin, because these funds that Russia uses from the sale of energy are used to fund the war. And Ukrainian officials vowed that they would continue their strikes on Russian oil refineries. But for everyday Ukrainians, the move is something that they have come to expect from the U.S. President. My first reaction was shock, then outrage. It was expected, especially when your country is led by a person like Trump. Trump is following his agenda. Ukraine should follow its own. So Ukraine's own officials admitted that they were surprised. They found out with the rest of us. Turns out when you depend on Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam doesn't always call you first. Now, if Putin can change your gas price with one phone call, you probably want to hear about the next call before it hits your wallet, right?

Unlike Vladimir Zelensky, you're not going to find out last. The link is in the description down below. Join the Ron Yates newsletter for free right now. So I want to talk about the people who actually keep this country running. It's the truckers, guys. Everything you own came on a truck. Your groceries, your couch, cars, that phone in your hand. If trucks stopped tomorrow, store shelves would be empty in about three days. And we all know how well that went last time, right? Empty shelves everywhere. You think eggs are expensive now? So President Trump, he made a move. Red dye diesel. That's right. And today I'm announcing another unprecedented step to bring down costs. For many years, farm vehicles, construction equipment, and other off-road vehicles have used what is known as red dye diesel. Do you know what that is? I don't know what the hell it is, but whatever it is, it's supposed to be very good. Does anybody want to explain that? Red dye diesel, everybody, which is exactly the same as normal diesel, but is sold tax-free for the off-road vehicles and big trucks. So tonight, right? Oh, these guys know exactly what I'm talking about, they're going to be very happy in about two seconds. So tonight I'm going to sign a historic executive order to officially waive the off-road requirement and allow anyone to purchase tax-free red dye diesel for any reason. And Jim, we should absolutely assure your election, I guarantee you that. What's really going to ensure it, however, is in a little while that is going to end and it's going to be an amazing, and you two guys were great, you stuck with us, and we have to. Otherwise, we're not going to have a country anymore. So I appreciate it. And I'm going to sign this. What Joe Biden couldn't do, sign his signature. Joe Biden was incapable. He could not sign. He only used auto pens. Look at that. Isn't that nice? Now, normally, this is farm and construction fuel, tractors, bulldozers, no federal tax, no state laws. It's dyed red so inspectors can spot it. Now, truckers can use it. Oh, and it runs about a dollar cheaper. So here's the key part. The federal waiver is what makes is legal. Nobody should be scared of getting busted for filling up with diesel red dye fuel, okay? But let's be honest with each other, okay? In plenty of places, off-road diesel is barely cheaper yet. Maybe a dime here, a nickel there. Relief that never actually reaches the pump isn't really relief. It's just a press release. And so while we're at it, guys, truckers also pay a very heavy vehicle tax. You may not even be aware of it. Plus there's a mountain of interstate fuel tax paperwork that could bury a filing cabinet. Now, why not waive those too through 2027? The people feeding America shouldn't pay the most to do it, right? Now, the gas tax. Reports say that the federal gas tax may disappear before the midterms. Gone. Poof. Kind of like your paycheck on rent day? Yeah. Now, you would think every governor in America would throw a party. You'd be wrong. In Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro's state charges one of the highest gas taxes in the entire country. Ask about cutting it, and suddenly everybody in Harrisburg remembers an urgent dentist appointment. Yeah, Washington under Bob Ferguson, Oregon under Tina Kotek, dragging her feet, bold strategy. Vote for me, I kept your gas expensive. Yeah, put that on a yard sign and see how well that election goes. Oh, even in Ohio, under Mike DeWine, drivers watched prices dip and then creep right on back up, kind of like a cat you swore you put outside. Now, the critics scream cutting gas taxes will blow up the deficit. Oh, now we care about the deficit? So Washington found billions of dollars for Ukraine every single time, no problem, no questions, but a break for a single mom filling up her minivan? All of a sudden, everybody's an accountant now. Now, you already know that one person who complains about gas prices every single week, right? The trucker, the farmer, your brother-in-law at the giant pickup, maybe your coworker at work. Send them this video right now, then drop your local gas price in the comments. Let's see who's really getting robbed the worst here. I do want to be real for a second. Some of you guys are thinking, great, diesel collapsed, so why did I just pay $4 for regular? Okay, it's a fair question, guys. Diesel fell nearly 10% in some places, but up to 50% in other places. But if your gas pump hasn't moved, you're not crazy. In fact, it's called rockets and feathers. Bad news? Well, prices shoot up like a rocket overnight. Good news? Prices float back down like a feather, slowly, gently, taking the scenic route through three different states it's funny how that works right and watch the middleman two stations three blocks apart 40 cents difference same gas same delivery truck somebody's having a very good quarter now who normally has a cheaper gas is it like Shell gas station is it Chevron is it QT is it Bucky's like who has the cheapest gas typically let me know ever notice how the prices jump right before the weekend like right when you're headed up loading up for the lake pure coincidence totally oh absolutely sure right here's what nobody explains diesel is only about a quarter of each barrel of oil gasoline is nearly half diesel moves first gas follows so hang on the feathers falling okay now the critics have arrived calculators out glasses on very smug right actually they say 300 000 tons is only about half a day of american diesel oh you know what they're right in fact the whole deal adds up to about nine days nine shorter than a family vacation to myrtle beach so why does it even matter? Because markets don't run on gallons, they run on feelings. Traders are basically nervous squirrels with Bloomberg terminals. If you give them a signal that supply is coming, all of a sudden prices start sliding before the first tanker even shows up. And this is just the first deal. It's not the last. So now compare that to the old playbook. You know, when prices spiked under Joe Biden, Washington drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This is America's emergency gas tank, the spare tire in the trunk of the nation. They used the spare tire for a road trip. But the typical trucker will save over $100 every time they fill up. So it's more than $100 each time. And farmers will also save millions and millions of dollars. And this order will also drive down the cost of all goods, including grocery prices, very substantially. And it's an honor to do it. Now, Trump's move brings in new supply instead of burning up our backup. Nine days of diesel, zero days of draining the emergency tank. Do the math guys. So now for the part that really should make every Californian throw their oat milk latte at the computer screen. California is watching two major refineries shut their doors. And diesel out there? It's six, seven, eight dollars a gallon. Now at that price, you're not filling up a tank. You're financing it. Thank you very much, Gavin Newsom. Oh, and it gets even dumber than that. California requires its own special gas blend. Only a handful of refineries can even make this stuff. So, supply stays tight by design. This is not a bug. This is the policy working exactly as it was written. Thanks a lot, Gavin Newsom. Meanwhile, Europe spent years closing refineries too. Because nothing says energy security quite like getting rid of your energy, right? So, here's the obvious question. Why aren't we reopening American refineries and calling it what it is? National security. In an emergency, why not just override that special California blend, right? Because think about it. Think about where we are, guys. America is buying diesel from Russia because we closed our own refineries slowly. Trump didn't skip Sacramento by choice, Sacramento left him no option. This was Russia's way of saying thank you, said Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, slamming the Trump administration for moving to ease Moscow's exports of diesel. That's because Ukraine has struck oil refineries inside Russia on average once every three days in the first eight months of this year, according to the International Energy Agency. Ukraine's aim? To choke off Russia's ability to sell oil and fund its war. So now I do want to talk about Ukraine's favorite hobby, blowing up Russian refineries. Yeah, drone after drone, refinery after refinery, and Vladimir Zelensky's team calls it strategy. Here's the problem with that strategy, Mr. Zelensky. Diesel doesn't care about borders. When a refinery in Russia goes up in smoke, the world has less diesel. Less diesel means higher prices and higher prices land right on your receipt in Ohio, right in Texas, and right in Tennessee. So congratulations, Ukraine just figured out how to bomb Russia and charge it to your credit card. And diesel's not just for trucks. It runs trains and cars and tractors and cargo ships, military jets, commercial airplanes. The whole world basically runs on diesel. Mess with diesel, you're basically messing with everybody's dinner. This is why President Trump and his envoys are pushing both sides to stop hitting refineries and fuel. And yes, fair is fair, guys, Russia has to stop too. This isn't about picking a team, it's about one simple rule, stop blowing up the stuff that feeds everybody. Now, remember the sanctions on Russia? For years, we were told they were forever, unbreakable, carved in stone, sacred, like grandma's meatloaf recipe. Well, guess what just happened? The US Treasury Department just eased those sanctions through April 7th, overnight. They even wrote a special license that allows Russian diesel to be sold, shipped, and unloaded around the world, forever, with an expiration date. Yeah, kinda like milk. I can already hear the cable news panels melting down already. Oh, this is an absolute disaster. This rewards Russia. Okay, guys, let's ask a simple question. What did four years of sanctions actually get us? The war didn't end. Russia did not collapse. Europe's energy bills went through the roof and your gas got more expensive. This is quite the track record. If a mechanic did that to your truck, you'd probably find a new mechanic. So Washington tried something different. Use the rules to get fuel moving. Cheaper diesel now, leverage for peace later. Wild idea. actually getting some results. Hmm. Okay. So now I want to head over to the Middle East. Go ahead and grab your sunscreen, guys. You're going to need it. Unless you want to wear a hijab and full suit. But here's a narrow strip of water out there called the Strait of Hormuz. You know, a huge chunk of the world's oil squeezes right on through this Hormuz area. It's basically the drive-thru lane for the planet's gas. Right now, oil from America's gas partners is flowing again near pre-war levels. Iran's oil blocked. U.S. blockade. Iran is sitting in the drive-thru with no car. And Trump's line hasn't moved an inch. Iran does not get a nuclear weapon, period. So a U.S. ambassador on Fox explained something important. Crude oil and refining are two different problems. Oil from the ground is not fueling your gas tank. It has to be cooked first. Fixing the Strait of Hormuz helps the crude. The Russia deal helps the cooked stuff. Now, some hawks warn, make a deal and leave Iran's revolutionary guard in power and we're going to be right back here in five years. That's a fair worry. Peace has to actually stick. Now, let's talk about NATO. For years, billions of dollars, summit after summit, fancy hotels, group photos, very serious faces. Peace deals produced, zero. Meanwhile, Canada, under Prime Minister Mark Carney, keeps writing checks. Europe keeps writing checks. Everybody's writing checks, but nobody's writing a peace treaty. Now, at some point, you got to ask, who's actually benefiting from this war that's never ending. Because it's not the soldiers, and it's definitely not you at the gas pump. So here's the hard truth. Ukraine survives on American support. That means Washington holds the cards. Not Kiev, not Brussels. And the goal cannot be marching on Moscow. Napoleon tried that. Hitler tried that. Both brought much bigger armies. Both went home cold, hungry, and humiliated. And Russia has nuclear weapons. Poking a nuclear bear with drones, that's not bravery. That's gambling your grandkids' future. Now, President Trump made one phone call and suddenly the two men who can actually end this war are on the same page. So now, the media has found its favorite word. Stunt. Yeah, Trump's diesel deal is just a midterm stunt. Oh, well, yeah, okay, it's October, politicians do election things in October. This is like being shocked that Santa shows up in December. Now, call it Hunt for Red October Midterm Edition, starring President Trump as the submarine captain. And there may be more surprises coming. Russia, Iran, either one could deliver an October surprise before November. But here's the bigger picture almost nobody's even talking about. Greenland, Canada, the Arctic, new shipping lanes opening up at the top of the world could someday become a highway for the US-Russia trade. That could reshape the entire global economy. And here's a view that's catching on. Russia never really wanted to be China's best friend. It just got shoved there. Normal relations with America might just pull it back. Now, if that's a stunt, give me more stunts. So where does this really leave us guys well maybe just maybe at the edge of something huge Ukraine Iran Gaza now imagine one giant peace deal that ends it all not a ceasefire that lasts until lunch but a real ending that would be good for literally everyone on earth right because here's what americans are tired of we always get dragged into everybody else's wars and we pay for them we send our weapons we send the money and somehow we still get left with the bill at the gas pump enough, right? And to our neighbors that are watching from Canada and around the world who want the same thing, welcome. Team North America. I want to be clear here, guys. I don't hate Russians. I don't hate Ukrainians. My faith tells me not to hate people, okay? Christ said, peace be with you. And that's what I want for everybody. So vote, share this, and tell us what gas costs where you live. Now, folks, the diesel is moving, the sanctions bent, the phone call happened.
