If you're into wine and wildlife, this is your invitation to Adelaide, Australia.

Swim with seals at sunrise, sip Shiraz at sunset, and in between, whoa, a koala.

Wait, how many wine regions?

Is that a wallaby or a baby kangaroo?

Of course, I'd love to try wine from some of the oldest vines on the planet.

Come sip and see all South Australia has to offer on United, the only airline to fly non-stop from the U.S.

Yikes, Donald Trump was massively fumbling the questions he was being asked about the government shutdown, which he appears to be giddy about and rooting for and saying a lot of good things can come out of this shutdown.

We can fire everybody and we can have our way with the American people.

It's really despicable.

So a reporter asked Donald Trump, but

if you said Doge has been getting rid of all of the waste, fraud, and abuse, why are you going to use the shutdown as a way to lay off people?

Why are you going to use it as a pretext to fire hundreds of thousands of people in the government?

Again, Donald Trump just gives a absurd word-salad response.

Watch this.

Here, play this clip.

Mr.

Speaker, President, as we inch closer closer to a government shutdown, this morning you said you might do a lot of layoffs.

If Doge is already reducing the federal workforce, why is it necessary to link more federal jobs cut to a shutdown?

Well, the Democrats want to shut it down, so when you shut it down, you have to do layoffs.

So we'd be laying off a lot of people that are going to be very affected.

And the Democrats, they're going to be Democrats.

As you know, this country, no country can afford to pay for illegal immigration health care for everybody that comes into the country.

And that's what they're insisting.

And obviously I have an obligation to not accept that.

That would affect everybody.

You know, when I see what we're doing with AI and all the plants that are opening up in the country, $17 trillion is coming.

And if you compare that to Biden, Biden had,

in four years, less than a trillion.

We have $17 trillion more than that.

I think it's going to be much more than that, David.

By the end of this year, I think it's going to be far out.

That's a record.

It's already a record in eight months.

And then Donald Trump brags that a lot of good can come from the shutdown.

And he says what we'll be able to do is kind of go after Democrats.

We'll be able to go, you know, see, you heard him say that before.

We'll go after the Democrats in the shutdown and make Democrats feel pain, especially those Democrat employees here play this clip.

I think it's going to be far over that.

It's a record, it's already a record in eight months.

It's a record by a lot.

And so we're doing well as a country.

So the last thing we want to do is shut it down.

But

a lot of good can come down from shutdowns.

We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn't want, and they'd be Democrat things, but they want open borders.

They want men playing in women's sports.

They want transgender for everybody.

They never stop.

They don't learn.

We won an election in a landslide.

They just don't learn.

So we have no choice.

I have to do that for the...

for the country.

Yes.

As Democratic Congressman Don Beyer writes, as he did during his first term, Trump again goes on TV to say government shutdowns are good.

No, they are not good Republicans and this president should go back to work and make a deal to stop a shutdown and prevent price increases for the American people he's actually rooting for the shutdown and then Donald Trump is starts talking about the some blue tent that was outside of the white house like that they removed a blue tent like That's what's on your mind right now as the government is just a mere hours away from shutting down.

You're talking about a blue tent that you removed?

What the hell is going on here?

Here, play this clip.

We've had a home run in DC.

You can walk out.

Brian, you got mugged here a long time ago.

Yes, sir.

And the mugger must have felt some pain because you're a tough cookie.

Well, he had a gun, and I will show it to you.

I know, well, then

if he had a gun, all you could do is say thank you very much.

Yeah,

no, but it's everybody here.

I mean,

you were here in the room when I said to the reporters, who got mugged in the last year?

And like half of the people raised their hand.

Now, if you said, who got mugged over the last 60 days, nobody, nobody, no killing, no nothing.

And the restaurants are booming, the town is booming, it's clean.

You know, the National Guard actually went out and started cleaning all the crap out of the parks.

The tents are knocked down.

We had one that you said it was a blue tent.

And you said it was a communist tent, right?

See, we're going to have a communist mayor of New York.

So, you know, let's see how that works out.

And I've gotten a lot of feedback on that.

Everyone's very appreciative.

Yeah.

You told me about a blue tent, and I said, it's not, I can't be there because we knocked him down.

But this was a very highly sophisticated group of people that had permits and all the other things.

Well, their permit expired.

We knocked it down.

It took, what, 24 hours less, maybe?

So I appreciate you telling me that.

No,

we have a great thing going on.

The country is doing incredible.

We are a hot country.

The hottest.

We're the hottest country in the world, right?

Do the fairies and the kids are doing it.

And then Donald Trump also brags that Linda McMahon,

the wife of the WWE founder, that she's making sure that she goes after education in Democratic states.

We're taking it over from California.

We're going to help them out.

No, stay the hell out, Donald.

Stay the hell out.

Here, play this clip.

I get 97% bad press, and I wanted landslide, which tells you the press has no credibility.

But I will say that

what we've done has been a great tribute to the people that's standing behind me in different forms.

Linda in education, different, but what she's doing in education, she's sending education back to the states.

That's a big move.

The states like, you know, you go back to Indiana, Iowa, you know, I would say 40 states will be great.

45 will be...

you know, the 5% of them will be pretty good,

and then you're going to have a Gavin Newscomb and some other people that aren't gonna do a good job but you know we'll help them out i want to help them out you ever step outside and feel like you're instantly drenched in sweat it's like no matter what you do it doesn't stop now i know with this heat that's basically me every day now if you've been struggling with the heat and humidity like i have i have great news mando has just launched something that takes sweat control to the next level introducing the mando deodorant plus sweat control solid stick it's double protection and finally you get the odor control that you love with Mando plus powerful sweat control.

And then you'll recall that earlier in the day during a prior Oval Office press conference, Donald Trump said that, first off, he says that they've brought in $17 trillion in brags, which they did not bring in $17 trillion.

I want to see Democrats ask, if he brought in $17 trillion, where is it?

Where's the account?

Did you steal $17 trillion?

Because it ain't showing up in the treasury.

So where the hell is your $17 trillion?

And then Donald Trump says that the good thing that they can do during a shutdown is that they'll be able to do things medically to harm people.

They will be able to do medical things that harm people.

This is a sick authoritarian regime.

Medically to harm people?

You're boasting about killing people and saying that shutdowns are good?

Watch for yourself what went down here.

Play this clip.

Tell you, we have $17 trillion being invested.

So the last person that wants to shut down is us now.

With that being said, we can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like.

And

you all know Russell Vogt, he's become very popular recently because he can trim the budget to a level that you couldn't do any other way.

So they're taking a risk by having a shutdown because because of the shutdown, we can do things medically and other ways, including benefits.

We can cut large numbers of people out.

We don't want to do that but we don't want fraud waste and abuse and you know we're cutting that but then and then you had another reporter that same reporter who went from the ap um who asked a great question that you saw there also said to donald trump but you are aware donald that it would be illegal unlawful to fund have the federal government fund health care for

undocumented immigrants.

That's not even allowed in the law.

So how are you saying that Democrats want to fund $1.5 trillion for undocumented immigrants if it's not in the law, Donald?

And then this response to me is almost most telling of all because he just responds with words out.

I have a bigger heart than you.

Everybody knows my heart is bigger than your heart.

Just watch.

Again, this shouldn't be a Democrat or Republican or Independent issue.

He's not answering the question because this is all a lie.

Here, play this clip.

Time for that.

We're not eligible for the health care subsidies that Democrats are demanding.

So can you clarify, what are you talking about when you say Democrats want to protect their health care?

So when an illegal person comes in, a person who came into our country illegally, therefore breaking the law, and look, we all have big hearts.

I have a bigger heart than you do.

They're all breaking the law and they're coming into our country.

And we just, as a country, cannot afford to take care of millions of people who have broken the law coming in.

We want them to come into our country, but we want them to come in legally.

Now we have a strong border, a very strong border, thanks to Christy and Tom Holman and the whole group.

They've done an amazing job at the border.

I mean, we had a border that was reckless.

We had a border that was a disaster.

They were coming in by the millions.

I say 25 million people.

You're saying less, but I say 25 million people came in illegally.

And no system can take care of the health care of all of those people that came in.

So while that was taking place, you have Brooke Rollins, the agriculture secretary,

saying that Donald Trump's the most pro-farm president in history, but she goes that the situation with farmers is getting really bad and it's going to get worse.

As we wrote on the Midas Touch account, why is the farm economy not in a good place, Brooke?

Why is it going bad, Brooke?

Didn't Donald Trump promise on day one the farmers were going to get rich and it was going to be a golden age?

The only person who's gotten rich is Donald Trump, make billions of dollars more and he's screwing over farmers, screwing over workers, screwing over the American people.

That's what's going down here.

Play this clip.

Farmers are getting a little angry, a little antsy here.

It's pretty clear they support the administration.

They understand what's going on, but they're sort of caught in the middle.

China is specifically trying to hurt them in this tariff war.

So what should they expect from the White House?

Well, thanks so much for having me on, Charles.

And I loved your introduction.

I think it told the story perfectly.

For so long, this country has been basically built on the backs of our farmers and our ranchers.

The president, President Trump has been the most pro-farmer president, perhaps in our lifetimes, perhaps in history.

But this moment of uncertainty in the farm economy is real.

And there are many reasons for that.

Obviously, the ongoing trade negotiations with China and others, but it goes way before that.

Under Joe Biden, the cost of inputs went up 30%.

No new trade deals, which you showed in that chart, which was actually a great chart.

It's pretty remarkable that in four years under Joe Biden, there was not one new trade deal.

And we went from an ag trade surplus under Trump One to a $50 billion ag deficit under Joe Biden.

And we're now just beginning to crawl our way back out of that.

But the times are changing.

Listen, it is a golden age.

It's around the corner.

But this president on Liberation Day at the White House, when we were all watching, when he announced this new tariff and trade world realignment, that it was going to take a little bit of time.

But in that time, we've already struck seven or eight deals, Japan, the UK, the EU, Indonesia, the Philippines.

I mean, it is, I was in the UK two weeks ago selling ethanol, supposed to be in Japan tomorrow, talking rice and other row crops.

We'll see with the government shutdown if that happens.

But it is going to be gangbusters.

But right now, the farm economy is not in a good place.

We're working around the clock.

The president has committed to supporting our farmers, and we'll have an announcement on that very soon, likely next week.

Okay.

Then again, while that was taking place as well, you had Donald Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Luttnick, giving an interview with News Nation.

And Howard Luttnick is asked, well, if you claim there's a manufacturing boom right now, why have we lost 80,000 manufacturing jobs?

And he goes, oh, that's not true.

Donald Trump's just so great.

Here, watch this.

So you've already alluded to the national security interest in a lot of the reshoring of manufacturing that the president's tariff regime is designed to do.

But some reports suggest that we've lost up to 80,000 manufacturing jobs since the president took office.

Walk me through that tension there, that contradiction.

Well,

it can't be true.

I mean, sure, the first day, you know, you walk in from the Biden administration and what happens on the next Friday, you know, they blame Donald Trump, which is silly, right?

The tariff world is going to bring in the greatest building of advanced manufacturing.

not, it's not the country's ever seen.

It's not even possible to scale.

And then finally, you had Pete Hegseth lecturing the military generals about no more beards or long hair.

We're not having Nordic pagans in the military.

Nordic pagans?

What are you all talking about?

Here, play this clip.

This also means grooming standards.

No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression.

We're going going to cut our hair,

shave our beards, and adhere to standards.

Because it's like the broken windows theory of policing.

It's like when you let the small stuff go, the big stuff eventually goes.

So you have to address the small stuff.

This is on duty, in the field, and in the rear.

If you want a beard, you can join special forces.

If not, then shave.

We don't have a military full of Nordic pagans.

But unfortunately, we have had leaders who either refused to call BS and enforce standards, or leaders who felt like they were not allowed to enforce standards.

Both are unacceptable.

And that's why today, at my direction, the era of unprofessional appearance is over.

No more beardos.

The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done.

Simply put, if you do not meet the male-level physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test, or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for a new position or a new profession.

So no wonder Donald Trump's approval is deeply underwater in the swing states.

And no wonder Donald Trump's approval rating is in the tank in general.

And no wonder by about a 15-point margin on average in all the major polling, Americans are blaming Republicans and Donald Trump for this shutdown because they're giddy about it.

They're giddy.

You see them giddy.
