Speaker 2 I had had to see this photo. I can't unsee this photo.
So you now have to see this photo.

Speaker 2 The ridiculousness of this all when you have this individual who is gutting our Medicaid, who is attacking our government institutions, who is sucking up to Putin, who is making posts on his social media platform, referring to Gaza now as Trump Gaza and trying to distract Americans from the fact that prices are surging, inflation is surging again, the markets are doing bad right now.

Speaker 2 This is what Trump posted before holding a cabinet meeting yesterday. This is a real post.
It was a video. He was calling it Trump Gaza.
And it was an AI video where they had golden statues of Trump.

Speaker 2 And Elon Musk was on the beaches in Gaza throwing up money in the air.

Speaker 2 And then after committing genocide, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu were at the Trump Gaza Hotel together in this AI that they created. And then here on

Speaker 2 the Gaza beach, there are these bearded men with big chests. And well, you can judge for yourself.
Trump actually posted that.

Speaker 2 So when I go and show you that photo of him, what he looks like without his orange plaster on his face, I mean, like, what the hell is going on here?

Speaker 2 Then let's go to that cabinet meeting that took place yesterday, which Donald Trump essentially had Elon Musk lead, where Elon Musk's like, I am going to be making mistakes a lot, you know, like we made a mistake about Ebola

Speaker 2 and then we fired the Ebola people.

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm like watching this. I'm like, what the hell are these people talking about? I mean, as they're firing, essential government workers, government workers, veterans,

Speaker 2 spouses of veterans, people who have just sacrificed in general for us working for the government and then lied and said they were firing people for a cause, for performance reasons when it was not based on performance reasons.

Speaker 2 Here, take a look at this. This is from the cabinet meeting.
Here is Donald Trump blaming the rising costs of everything and like egg prices. on the administration.

Speaker 2 But Trump's like pretending that he's not the president and he's attacking a phantom administration. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 6 His eggs are a disaster. The

Speaker 6 Secretary of Agriculture is going to be showing you a chart that's actually mind-boggling what's happened, how low they were with us, and how high they are now.

Speaker 6 But I think we could do something about it, Madam Secretary. I think you're going to do a fantastic job in that position.

Speaker 2 Then, Kim Jong-un style, Donald Trump assembles this kind of cabinet of the most spineless men, a few women, but mostly men, and the most spineless people. And he goes, let the Cabinet speak.

Speaker 2 Raise your hand right now if you are unhappy with Elon. Here, just watch this clip.

Speaker 6 You could ask me or Elon.

Speaker 7 Go ahead, please.

Speaker 8 Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Mr. Musk.
I just wanted to ask you that President Trump put out a truth social today saying that everybody in the Cabinet was happy with you.

Speaker 8 I just wondered if that's if you had heard otherwise and if you had heard anything about members of the cabinet who weren't happy with the way things were going and if so what are you doing to address those

Speaker 8 any dissatisfaction?

Speaker 6 Elon, let the cabinet speak just for a second.

Speaker 9 If you are we'll throw them out of you.

Speaker 9 Is anybody unhappy?

Speaker 6 I have a lot of respect for Elon and that he's doing this and some disagree a little bit but I will tell you, for the most part, I think everyone's not only happy, they're thrilled.

Speaker 2 Yeah, this is like some North Korea stuff right here.

Speaker 2 Elon Musk would make multiple posts yesterday where he would mock the federal workers who were fired and celebrate their terminations.

Speaker 2 It's ghoulish behavior. But back to that cabinet meeting here, Elon Musk, this is where he says, I'm going to make mistakes, you know, like Ebola.
I will sometimes fire Ebola people, but it's okay.

Speaker 2 We will just sometimes, you know, fire people who do nuclear weapons, you know? Here, play this clip.

Speaker 12 And I should say, we also, we will make mistakes. We won't be perfect, but when we make a mistake, we'll fix it very quickly.

Speaker 12 So, for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was Ebola, Ebola prevention.

Speaker 9 I think we all want Ebola prevention.

Speaker 12 So, we restored the Ebola prevention immediately and there was no interruption.

Speaker 12 But we do need to move quickly if we're to achieve a trillion dollar deficit reduction in

Speaker 12 financial year 2026. It requires saving $4 billion per day every day from now through the end of September.

Speaker 2 But we can do it and we will do it.

Speaker 2 Well, that's my Elon Musk impression right there. Tell me what you think.

Speaker 2 As our friend Greg Sargent says, another mistake they made was firing USAID people who oversee contracts like the one that supplies life-saving treatments for kids who are suffering from extreme malnutrition or on the edge of starvation.

Speaker 2 You know, it should be noted as well, though, that last night, right before a deadline where federal governments ordered the Trump administration to have to make the payments to USAID contractors, John Roberts, Chief Justice of the MAGA Republican right-wing Supreme Court, jumped in and blocked the order compelling Trump to fund USAID.

Speaker 2 The Supreme Court over and over again has blood on their hands. How many kids, how many people are going to die because of the cruelty of having their funding ripped away?

Speaker 2 And then when other federal courts ordered that that funding be paid by midnight last night, Chief Justice John Roberts, the same person who took away women's reproductive rights, basically changed the law to stop the separation of church and state, the same Supreme Court that basically celebrates AR-15s by schools, that gutted climate change legislation, that gutted voting rights.

Speaker 2 Chief Justice John Roberts said, we're going to temporarily stop this order requiring the funding to USAID. Here, Donald Trump says this country has gotten an America's bloated, fat, and disgusting.

Speaker 2 Play this clip.

Speaker 15 I have a question back on these cuts to the federal workforce. You mentioned you're interested in doing another round of this email.
When would you like to see that? What would be the deadline?

Speaker 6 And this time, would it be mandatory? I think Elon wants to, and I think it's a good idea because, you know, those people, as I said before, they're on the bubble.

Speaker 6 You got a lot of people that have not responded, so we're trying to figure out do they exist? Who are they? And it's possible that a lot of those people will be actually fired. And if that happened,

Speaker 6 that's okay, because that's what we're trying to do.

Speaker 6 This country has gotten bloated and fat and disgusting and incompetently run. I think we had the worst president in the history of our country.
He just left office.

Speaker 6 I think he's a disgrace, what he's done to our country by allowing millions of people to come into our country like that.

Speaker 6 And all of the other things, the inflation, which he caused because of energy and stupid spending, to spend

Speaker 6 hundreds of millions, trillions and trillions of dollars on the Green News scam, a total scam.

Speaker 2 Donald. Are you looking in the mirror? Is that what you're referring to? Then they had

Speaker 2 conspiracy theorist RFK Jr., who's the Secretary of Health and Human Services. He then talks about how

Speaker 2 there are that the measles outbreak right now, which has killed somebody in Texas. This is like one of the biggest measles outbreak in recent time because people aren't getting vaccinated for measles.

Speaker 2 RFK Jr. at this cabinet meeting was like, This is normal,

Speaker 2 this is what usually happens. There's measles outbreaks like this all the time.
There is not here, play this clip.

Speaker 6 We uh, Bobby, do you want to speak on that?

Speaker 7 We are following the measles epidemic every day. I think there's 124

Speaker 11 people who have contracted measles at this point, mainly in Case County, Texas.

Speaker 10 Mainly,

Speaker 7 we're told in the Mennonite community,

Speaker 7 there are two people who have died,

Speaker 7 but

Speaker 11 we're watching it and there are about 20 people hospitalized, mainly for quarantine.

Speaker 11 We're watching it. We put out a post on it yesterday, and we're going to continue to follow it.

Speaker 11 Incidentally, there have been four measles outbreaks this year.

Speaker 11 In this country, last year, there were 16.

Speaker 11 So it's not unusual.

Speaker 2 You have measles outbreaks every year.

Speaker 12 You sound a little under the weather yourself right now.

Speaker 11 I just, I have a permanently bad throat.

Speaker 2 Then Donald Trump insults Canada and says Canada can't subsist or exist as a nation without America.

Speaker 1 Play this clip.

Speaker 6 It's not fair for us to be supporting Canada. And if we don't support them, they don't subsist as a nation.

Speaker 2 Boy, people are pissed in Canada. That boycott of all things American in Canada is still going strong and it'll start showing in our economy.

Speaker 17 The older I get, the more I find myself wanting to be more intentional about the way I live, eat, and take care of my body. That's why I'm so happy I found Mosh.

Speaker 17 Mosh, which you may have heard about on Shark Tank, was founded by Maria Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger with a simple mission to create a conversation about brain health through food, education, and research.

Speaker 17 Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's, and since then, she and Patrick have dedicated themselves to finding ways to help other families dealing with this debilitating disease.

Speaker 17 Mosh joined forces with the world's top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar.

Speaker 17 With eight delicious flavors, including a plant-based one in peanut butter and chocolate, each Mosh bar is made with ingredients that support brain health like ashwagandha, lions made, collagen, and omega-3s.

Speaker 17 And now Mosh bars come with a new look and new formulation, featuring a game-changing brain-boosting ingredient that you won't find in any other bar.

Speaker 17 Mosh is now the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium nootropic that supplies the brain with a patent form of City choline. But here's the best part to make you feel good.

Speaker 17 Mosh donates a portion of all proceeds from your order to fund gender-based brain health research through the Women's Alzheimer's Movement. Why gender-based?

Speaker 17 Because two-thirds of all Alzheimer's patients are women. Mosh is working closely to close the gap between women and men's health research.
Personally, I love the taste of my Mosh bars.

Speaker 17 My favorite is the peanut butter crunch, which I have each morning before I head off to the gym.

Speaker 17 Now, if you want to find ways to give back to others and fuel your body and your brain, Mosh Bars are the perfect choice for you.

Speaker 17 Thank you, Mosh, for sponsoring this episode.

Speaker 2 As Christopher Webb points out as well, not gross, not too gross y'all out, but it's not just the bruise on Trump's hand. These are not the fingernails of a healthy man.

Speaker 2 And the White House issued an official statement yesterday saying that all of these bruises and the discoloration on his hands and what that looks like is because he shakes so many hands every day is what they're saying.

Speaker 2 QAn Marjorie Taylor Green, MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Green, who is too scared to allow Democratic Congressmember Jared Moskowitz at the Doge hearings. She rejected his request to attend.

Speaker 2 So here she talks about though, how federal workers need to get real jobs. They don't deserve their paychecks.

Speaker 2 They're not really working real jobs, she says. Play this clip.

Speaker 16 You can protest all you want outside of departments of this government. You can protest all you want, but the American people disagree with you.
You're protecting the bureaucracy.

Speaker 16 The bureaucracy is not a business. Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue.
By the way, they're consuming taxpayer dollars.

Speaker 16 Those jobs are paid for by the American tax people who work real jobs, earn real income, pay federal taxes, and then pay these federal employees. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs.

Speaker 16 Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks. And these are jobs that can be fired at will.

Speaker 2 Again, when did it become so normal to just insult hardworking americans i don't get it i mean what just because that you're not you're not on tv that does it what that means that someone who works at our national parks is is not good enough for a maga the person who works in the department of education or department of labor or department of agriculture or usaid or the people who work at the consumer financial protection bureau or whatever government entity what because it's why they they don't get on TV, so they're not glamorous.

Speaker 2 That means they're not real workers.

Speaker 2 I mean, who talks about human beings in that way? Oh, MAGA, the same MAGA that is

Speaker 2 shaking down President Zelensky of Ukraine for a

Speaker 2 rare earth mineral deal. So we've been covering on the Midas Touch Network all of Donald Trump's fake deals, right?

Speaker 2 Where Donald Trump said that he got this great deal with Canada to avoid the initial tariffs Donald Trump threatened. But then he says he's bringing tariffs in a few days anyway against Canada.

Speaker 2 But remember the deal where Canada said, okay, Donald, we will put 100, whatever it was, you know, a billion dollars in border security, and we'll give you a fentanyl czar.

Speaker 2 There was already the border security deal in place under former President Biden and a fentanyl czar, whatever they were calling it.

Speaker 2 There's really no fentanyl coming from Canada to the United States, like 10 10 pounds or something, like over the whole year. Like there's not a lot of fentanyl coming in at all.

Speaker 2 And then the deal with Mexico, the fake deal, where Claudius Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, is like, okay, Donald, we'll put 10,000 troops at the border.

Speaker 2 And Trump's like, deal, look what I've achieved. There were already 15,000 troops at the border.
15,000 is more than. uh 10,000.

Speaker 2 Then Donald Trump made the fake deals with like Colombia and Panama and so on and so forth. So now, so Donald Trump was like shaking down Zelensky for this rare earth mineral deal where

Speaker 2 the rare earth minerals from Ukraine would be shared with the United States with no security guarantees. But here's what we know about the deal now.

Speaker 2 Ilya Pomarenko from the Kyiv Independent says it perfectly. It's like a fake deal.
So essentially, the rare earth agreement is just a memorandum on how the U.S.

Speaker 2 and Ukraine are intended to invest in Ukraine's mining industry and mineral resources and jointly get profits at some point. There's 0% certainty on whether this will ever be a real big thing.

Speaker 2 The document doesn't even require parliamentary ratification at this moment now. Donald Trump will declare a grandiose victory as soon as Zelensky signs this in front of cameras in DC.

Speaker 2 And essentially, that's it.

Speaker 2 Pomarenko goes on to say, this is all so grotesquely dumb and so surreally opposite to basic human morality that one can't believe it's even real and motivates many to try to look for a second agenda, to try to read between the lines and make it to a far larger truth.

Speaker 2 But I'm afraid the answer is very simple.

Speaker 2 MAGA Mike Johnson on CNN is being asked here.

Speaker 2 This was a good question by Caitlin Collins. She asked MAGA Mike Johnson.
So, you know,

Speaker 2 if you're saying that

Speaker 2 Doge is finding all of these, you know, fraud and abuse, then why would you support a continuing resolution to keep the government funded with fraud and abuse? Here, play this clip.

Speaker 14 Certainly an absurd notion, but they're standing by that.

Speaker 15 CR go, do you believe?

Speaker 14 Well, we haven't negotiated that yet, but if it's a CR, it may be an entire year-long CR with some anomalies on it. You know how all this works, but it's not what we prefer.

Speaker 14 We would like to do individual appropriations bills, but it takes both parties to negotiate that. And right now, the Democrats are trying to, it looks like, trying to set up a government shutdown.

Speaker 14 We can't allow that to happen.

Speaker 15 Well, you just talked about how important the work that Elon Musk is doing is.

Speaker 15 If you pass a continuing resolution, won't that just refund all the programs that he says he's cutting that are full of waste, fraud, and abuse?

Speaker 14 No, look, you can, that's why I say you add anomalies to a CR.

Speaker 14 You can increase some spending, you can decrease some spending, you can add language that says, for example, the dramatic changes that have been made to USAID would be reflected in the ongoing spending.

Speaker 14 It would be a clean CR, mostly, I think, but with some of those changes to adapt to the new realities here. And the new reality is less government, more efficiency, a better return for the taxpayers.

Speaker 14 And I think that's something everybody should welcome.

Speaker 2 Should be noted that the Doge amongst the American people is like the number one entity that Americans want to see abolished by far.

Speaker 2 Oh, yes, then there's a new proposal that was released yesterday by a MAGA Republican Congressmember Wilson to make Donald Trump the first and only living current or former president to be featured on currency.

Speaker 2 They want to put him on a $250

Speaker 2 bill. And they said it's the most valuable currency.
And they said he's the most valuable president.

Speaker 2 That's what the MAGA Republican Congress members are spending their time to as Elon Musk and his team raid your private information, gain access to your social security, tax records, medical information,

Speaker 2 as they gut our government government services, as our markets are so volatile right now, as Donald Trump is posting about Trump, Gaza, and

Speaker 2 having America join an access of evil, of Russia, of North Korea, Belarus

Speaker 2 to oppose United Nations resolutions condemning Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine. Like,
