Speaker 4 As I watch state regime media known as Fox, the following quote from 1984 comes to mind: War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
Speaker 4 If you watch Fox News, everything is exactly the opposite.
Speaker 4 Like Larry Koodlaw, who used to work for the first Trump administration, was saying how everybody knows that tariffs are not inflationary and they won't lead to to a recession as our country is heading into a recession as inflation is increasing because tariffs are literally inflationary and recession and or Great Depression inducing.
Speaker 4 Here, play this clip.
Speaker 5 I mean, look, Sean.
Speaker 5
Part of this business, you know, the stock market's selling off over tariffs. I think that's crazy.
Tariffs are not inflationary. Tariffs are not going to lead to a recession.
Speaker 5 Trump's reciprocal tariff policy is very good. And you saw the Canadian back off today promptly when Trump threatened him.
Speaker 4
Remember what I said when I started this video? War is peace. Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength. Fox then interviews RFK Jr., an anti-vaxxer who's now leading health and human services.
Speaker 4 And here he, not surprisingly, attacks vaccines with more weird conspiracies. Play this clip.
Speaker 6 Used to be when you and I were kids, everybody got measles.
Speaker 6 And measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine does.
Speaker 4 Remember what I said at the beginning?
Speaker 4 Orwellian stuff right here, as one of Donald Trump's top propagandists, his press secretary, Caroline Levitt, says something about how Canada was forced to back down to Donald Trump when, in fact, Donald Trump backed down to Canada.
Speaker 4
This is how they're spinning things. Donald Trump declares trade wars, what I consider, frankly, to be actual wars against Canada.
Canada goes elbow up above the boards, stands up.
Speaker 4
Trump then delays the tariffs. And now the Trump regime declares that as a victory on state regime media.
Play this clip.
Speaker 7 We are finally going to treat nations the way that they have treated the United States for far too long. And Canada saw, if you want to step up into the big leagues with President Trump, you better be
Speaker 7 prepared to play. It looks looks like they are not.
Speaker 4 I can keep going with this theme as the state regime media known as Fox takes our Constitution, rips it to shreds, and tries to hoist up this idiotic authoritarian regime.
Speaker 4 Here's Laura Ingraham on Fox saying, it's just absurd to think that our framers would believe the Constitution safeguards the rights of people who are in the United States. Here, play this clip.
Speaker 9 It's simply absurd to believe that our framers wrote our Constitution to safeguard the rights of non-citizens whose entire goal is to seize power in the United States in order to benefit our enemies.
Speaker 4 Then you have MAGA Republican Senator John Kennedy, not really a Kennedy, but John Kennedy.
Speaker 4 Here he says, if you ain't, by the way, his
Speaker 4
accent is not a real accent. It's a fake accent that he's created to try to make himself like relatable to Southerners.
And go back and watch videos of this guy.
Speaker 4 He didn't have this accent, but he goes, you know, if
Speaker 4 you're not happy, if you're not happy, you're not a tree. Here, play this clip.
Speaker 12 Says you can be deported if you support a terrorist organization.
Speaker 12
Here's the bottom line. Mr.
Khalil hates America, as you said in your monologue.
Speaker 12 You know, if you're not happy where you are, move.
Speaker 14 You're not a tree.
Speaker 4
Right. So then state regime media brings on Kevin O'Leary, who, you know, purports to be a business person the way Trump purports to be a business person.
I've looked at Kevin O'Leary's background.
Speaker 4 To say his background is unimpressive would be an understatement. And so he's like the person who's like, maybe Canada should be annexed by the United States.
Speaker 4 And oddly, he refers to the relationship between
Speaker 4
Canada and the United States. He's like, this is like a marriage.
And in this marriage, you know, you're going to get into fights in this marriage. Here, play this clip.
Happening.
Speaker 13 It's going to get throttling during the courtship phase.
Speaker 15 You know, marriages have tough patches.
Speaker 13 No.
Speaker 13 I've never heard that. Yes, yes.
Speaker 4 We're not dating the U.S.
Speaker 15
and Canada and the United States are married. A little tough patch in the marriage.
It's going to get work. A little marriage counseling.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 Everybody loves each other.
Speaker 4 Everybody loves each other it's interesting you use the example of like a marriage or relationship because as i've said before donald trump's treatment of canada and frankly other people other allies for example um is the height of abusiveness donald trump picks on the people he's in relationships or the united states is in relationships and treats them the absolute worst and then treats the enemies the absolute best because that's the crew that donald Donald Trump actually wants to hang with because Trump's pathology is geared towards the excess of evil and not our ally.
Speaker 4
So Donald Trump's behavior towards Canada is the height of abusiveness and gaslighting. And then it's like, oh, Canada's being mean to us.
You're threatened annexation.
Speaker 4 You've made posts saying that you don't believe that there's really a border between the U.S. and Canada and Canada needs to be annexed and oh, Canada will become a great song of the United States.
Speaker 4
So utterly pathetic. Then here's Larry Koodla again, again, lying here that there's all this fraud in Social Security.
There's so much fraud here.
Speaker 16 Play this clip.
Speaker 5 But the fraud, like Social Security, people are 150 years old getting Social Security checks, which is insane.
Speaker 4 That's one of the things that this regime has been saying over and over because they want to gut Social Security.
Speaker 4 So they've been saying that Elon thinks that there's about $600 billion to $800 billion in fraud and social security.
Speaker 4 Elon thinks, so Caroline Lebitt was asked during the press conference she held yesterday, but those numbers aren't real, to which Caroline Lebitt responded, I never said they were real.
Speaker 4 I just said that's what Elon thinks.
Speaker 4 We're going to have to find out if that's real, but that's what we're going to use to basically fire everybody, which they're doing, who works at the Social Security Administration, shut down the buildings so that they cripple the Social Security Administration so so people don't get their Social Security checks.
Speaker 4 That's what's going to happen. And we should be absolutely pissed about it.
Speaker 10 All right, let's talk about spring cleaning, but not the boring kind.
Speaker 10 I'm talking about leveling up your kitchen game and finally tossing that scratched up, sad excuse for a pan you've been clinging to since college.

Speaker 4 Yesterday, if you haven't gotten the theme also, the Trump regime is having all of their cabinet people go on Fox to try to spin up is down, down is up, war is peace, freedom is slavery, you know, and all of those things.
Speaker 4 So here's Linda McMahon, Trump's new Secretary of Education in the cabinet. And here she talks about that she will totally shut down the Department of Education.
Speaker 4 And they've now fired 50% of the staff, and then they're going to get rid of everybody. Here, play this clip.
Speaker 9 First, welcome to the the show because you haven't been in studio with me before.
Speaker 8 Now, is this the first step on the road to a total shutdown?
Speaker 14 Yes, actually it is because that was the president's mandate.
Speaker 14 His directive to me clearly is to shut down the Department of Education, which we know we'll have to work with Congress to get that accomplished.
Speaker 14 But what we did today was to take the first step of eliminating what I think is bureaucratic bloat.
Speaker 14 And that's not to say that a lot of the folks, you know, it's a humanitarian thing too, a lot of the folks that are there, you know, they're out of a job.
Speaker 14 But we wanted to make sure that we kept all of the right people and the good people to make sure that the outward-facing programs, the grants, the appropriations that come from Congress, all of that are being met.
Speaker 14 And none of that's going to fall through the cracks.
Speaker 4 And then Linda McMahon is asked by Laura Ingram, one of the chief propagandists for the Trump regime.
Speaker 4
There were reports today that the Department of Education buildings were shut down because of security concerns. They really weren't shut down for security.
You know what the security concerns were?
Speaker 4 As Linda McMahon explains, they shut down the building so people could evacuate so then they didn't let the people back in.
Speaker 4 What they were worried about is once they announced people were being fired, that the people wouldn't leave.
Speaker 4 So they created a phony security crisis, got people to leave the building, then locked down the building to not let in the people they fired so they couldn't get their belongings.
Speaker 13 Yeah, the cruelty, cruelty, play this clip.
Speaker 8 So reports today said that the buildings were going to be closed for security reasons.
Speaker 8 What does that mean?
Speaker 14 Well, when people left today and they got their notification to take their laptops and their phones home with them and we didn't want part of the people who were being permanently let go and those who were remaining to all to some of them to show up to work tomorrow morning.
Speaker 14 That's standard corporate practice.
Speaker 14 So it's just standard corporate practice that we just locked the doors and said for those that are coming back back, we'll know that they'll be coming back on Thursday morning.
Speaker 9 Were people given a chance to take any personal effects?
Speaker 14 They were told that they will be allowed to come back. We would arrange for them to come back and take their personal effects with them and to say goodbye to some folks, too.
Speaker 4
Randy, why. Got to give a shout out to our friend, Jessica Tarlove on Fox.
He or she calls out Janine Pirro, one of Trump's chief propagandists,
Speaker 4
about the Canadian tariffs and how Pirro's like, this is great. And Jessica Tarlove's like, yeah, because you're rich.
You're rich.
Speaker 4 This doesn't affect you, these tariffs, because you have your mansion and your fancy cars and
Speaker 4
your private getaways, while most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. And this stuff is crushing Americans.
Here, play this clip.
Speaker 18 And it's going to preserve jobs. So stop with the tariffs.
Speaker 13 It's the leverage that we need to protect.
Speaker 18
No, no, no, no. I'm glad he did what he did with Canada because you have enough money to serve.
No, that's not the point.
Speaker 18 This is for, this is, look, it's going to float all boats. Come on, Jessica.
Speaker 4 Really?
Speaker 4 Then you had Brooke Rollins go on Fox and say, hey, she's the agriculture secretary. She's the one who says that the way to deal with these surging egg prices is that we all need to buy a chicken.
Speaker 4
And that's what we need to do. And here, Brooke Rollins is like, look, yeah, it's going to be, it's bumpy.
It's going to be bumpy, but we like bumpy, right? Bumpy economy. We like bumpy.
Speaker 19 Play the clip.
Speaker 17 And his tools in that tool basket of how to truly bring our economy back after the malaise of the Biden years, but it's going to be a little bit bumpy. It will be imperfect.
Speaker 11 I mean, if it was easy and you could do it overnight, then it would happen with a snap of a fingers, but that's not it.
Speaker 11 And I think what's really telling is the president is so focused on not the short term, which as we all know in politics, everyone's always worried about the short term.
Speaker 11 He truly wants to fix America so that we have the American dream for everyone in a way that we lost in the last four years. And until Trump won, we'd lost for a long, long time.
Speaker 11 So this is really the reality where we are today.
Speaker 17 But I think Kevin's vision that it's going to be a little bumpy for a few weeks, but once we move into the second quarter, we'll see a turnaround through deregulation, through lower taxes, through less government, through a focus on private enterprise and free markets versus a focus on bigger, bigger, bigger government spending, which is what we had in the last administration.
Speaker 19 Madam Secretary, great discussion.
Speaker 4 And then they have Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Do you see what I'm saying? They're having all the cabinet people go on to spread the propaganda.
Speaker 4 Then Chris Wright, energy secretary, goes on and he's like, Trump is so brilliant. Here, play this clip.
Speaker 16
Look, President Trump is a businessman. Thank God he became elected president.
And what we're seeing right now is a master negotiator practicing his craft.
Speaker 16 He got elected to lower costs and grow opportunities for
Speaker 16 Americans, and he is working feverishly seven days a week at that, bringing in other businessmen, having dialogues,
Speaker 16
some of which you see in public, most of which are happening behind closed scenes. But I could not be more optimistic.
50 days into this administration, we have seen simply tremendous achievements.
Speaker 16 And
Speaker 16 wait till you see what happens in the next 50 days.
Speaker 4
And then they have Kevin Kramer, MAGA Republican senator. This is the guy who like vilified Hunter Biden and like mocked Hunter Biden for recovering from drug addiction.
But like Kevin Kramer has like
Speaker 4 one son who was on meth and killed a cop while like driving or or something like that. And then Kevin Kramer had another son who died of alcohol abuse.
Speaker 4 And Kevin Kramer, this is the MAGA Republican senator who was mocking the recovery journey of Hunter Biden. I mean, this guy, to me, is the most deplorable of them.
Speaker 4 I mean, they're all pretty deplorable.
Speaker 4 But
Speaker 4 knowing this guy's past that I just shared with you, let me play this clip.
Speaker 20 But to the point about Elon, it's one more illustration of what a good guy he is. And people who don't like Elon have never met Elon Musk.
Speaker 20 I mean, he is truly one of the most gentle creatures and sweet men, really, that you've been around.
Speaker 20 He's exceptional in so many ways, it's hard, you know, not to see him as something different than the rest of us because he is different than the rest of us.
Speaker 13 But he's also a good guy.
Speaker 5 He's a very brilliant, thoughtful man, and I think he is a compassionate man. I agree.
Speaker 4 And I'll say this again, too. I mean, when these Magro-Republicans attacked people in recovery from addiction,
Speaker 4
You get the trend, what they're doing. They pick on the weakest and the most vulnerable types of people.
People in recovery, veterans, seniors,
Speaker 4 children,
Speaker 4 marginalized communities, and they bully and they bully.
Speaker 4 And, you know, it's so interesting because there's so many people as the Midas Touch, by the way, subscribe to the Midas Touch podcast that audio too.
Speaker 4 As people are like, oh, so, you know, you're getting more, you know, downloads than Rogan. So you're like the left's Rogan, right? And I'm like, nah, let me be very clear.
Speaker 4 I know Rogan and those pod bros call themselves like, oh, we're alpha, we're masculine.
Speaker 4 As I always say, people who are like masculine and alpha, first and foremost, don't go around saying, I'm alpha, I'm a masculine. And I'll tell you how I was raised.
Speaker 4
The way I was raised is that actual people who are alpha or masculine, one, they don't call themselves that. But two, you don't bully people.
You don't punch down.
Speaker 4 you don't attack marginalized communities, you help uplift people, you use your position to be an ally and to be helpful and to show empathy. That's what strength is.
Speaker 4 And I'm sick and tired of a bullying culture and normalizing this hate and normalizing this idiocracy and normalizing this incompetence and normalizing war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength and all that BS that I just showed you and fact checked for you.
