Speaker 2 This has been an absolutely disastrous Tuesday morning for Donald Trump, both on the domestic and international front. It's Veterans Day.

Speaker 2 Donald Trump has not posted a single Veterans Day message as of the recording of this video. Instead, he's posted on his social media that former President Barack Obama should be arrested.

Speaker 2 He's posted Trump prophecy conspiracy accounts on his social media. He's also made posts about something called Patriot Pinups, which involves half-naked women dressed in American flag bathing suits.

Speaker 2 So that's what Donald Trump's doing on Veterans Day. But in the real world, Americans are suffering.
Here's what we're learning about Donald Trump destroying Christmas.

Speaker 2 Expected Christmas spending among Americans in 2025 will be down 1.3%

Speaker 2 at least from the previous year. I think it will ultimately be down more than that as Americans have far less to spend.

Speaker 2 We've been talking about the massive layoffs taking place in the United States right now, the worst layoff situation since the Great Recession at this point in time.

Speaker 2 And there's still more layoffs coming in the next two months before the year ends. Let's talk about some foreign policy news this morning.

Speaker 2 We've now learned after an exclusive report by CNN that the United Kingdom has suspended sharing intelligence with the United States about suspected trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in United States military strikes that it believes are illegal and that it believes are war crimes, sources tell CNN.

Speaker 2 So the United States is no longer getting intelligence from the United Kingdom about critical issues because the UK and other countries do not want to be complicit in war war crimes.

Speaker 2 Also, you know how Donald Trump said that when he met with Xi Jinping of China, that China agreed to just release all of these rare earth elements, which they put export controls on under the Trump regime to retaliate against Trump's trade war against China and the rest of the world?

Speaker 2 Well, of course, what Donald Trump said is a lie. We're learning about additional types of export controls that China is putting on these rare earth elements.

Speaker 2 And specifically, as the Wall Street Journal reports, corporations in the United States that have relationships with the United States military, which includes lots of United States corporations, will likely be banned based on what Beijing considers validated end user systems to prohibit rare earth elements on certain of its export licenses.

Speaker 2 In other words, what Donald Trump was saying is full of crap, where these rare earth elements were coming in under former President Biden, the same way soybean farmers were able to freely sell their produce to China under former President Biden.

Speaker 2 That's no longer happening under Donald Trump. Also, in international news as well, Thailand has halted its ceasefire deal with Cambodia, which was previously heralded by Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 You know how Donald Trump goes, I stopped eight wars, I stopped seven wars. Well, they started because of your weakness in international affairs to begin with, And you haven't stopped these wars.

Speaker 2 Like one of the wars that Donald Trump claims that he stopped is he goes, I've stopped the war in Congo. No, you didn't.
There are people who are dying there all of the time.

Speaker 2 Then he claims credit for wars that he had nothing to do with at all, or like wars that settled decades ago. He's like, I did that.
I'm the reason for that.

Speaker 2 But in any event, what has happened in Thailand, you all remember when Donald Trump brought like the leaders of Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia together? And Trump's like, I did this. I stopped this.

Speaker 2 And he goes, China had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 When China was actually intimately involved in these discussions, Trump wanted to take credit for it without even recognizing the volatility of the region. Now, Thailand said that

Speaker 2 it will be sending tanks and artillery to its border with Cambodia.

Speaker 2 It says there's no longer a ceasefire in place, and they've accused Cambodia of laying new landmines along its border with Thailand, which Cambodia denies that it's done.

Speaker 2 The landmine blast maimed a Thai soldier, and so now Thailand's saying ceasefire off. So

Speaker 2 has Donald Trump posted about it? Does Donald Trump even know that's taking place?

Speaker 2 Doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Speaker 2 Also, Politico got its hands on documents that paint a, quote, vivid picture of the hurdles the Trump regime and its allies in the region face in creating lasting peace in gaza you think when the underlying ceasefire deal did not even address a two-state solution uh it was not even signed by hamas and israel hamas never agreed to disarm israel never agreed to withdraw settlements from the west bank or to not do additional settlements in the west bank region or in gaza region or in areas uh that are deemed to be palestini palestinian areas, where you have Smutrich and Netanyahu in Israel not agreeing to a two-state solution.

Speaker 2 I was like, how are we even calling this? It's not a peace deal. It's not even a ceasefire.
And over 100 Palestinians at least have been killed since this.

Speaker 2 Not even a ceasefire thing has been announced. Dasha Burns from Politico talks about these private documents that were obtained.
67 slides were presented last month during a two-day symposium for U.S.

Speaker 2 Central Command and members of the newly created Civilian Military Coordination Center, painting a vivid picture of the hurdles the administration and its allies face and creating lasting peace in stark contrast to the mostly rosy rhetoric from top administration officials.

Speaker 2 By rosy rhetoric, Dasha, do you mean fraud? The fraudulent rhetoric, the lies coming from the regime?

Speaker 2 Quote, divorce from the peace deal is a plan of how to actually implement a peace deal, said a symposion participant. Everyone is floating around

Speaker 2 at 40,000 feet above, and nobody's talking about operation and tactics. Yeah, nobody's talking about it at all.

Speaker 2 As I mentioned at the outset of this video, Donald Trump not posting any Veterans Day messages. Instead, he's posting things like this.
May 15th prophecy.

Speaker 2 And it's a weird account that it posts like strange prophecies and says like Donald Trump has been sent by like angel. I don't want to go into these ridiculous things.

Speaker 2 I don't even want to say the words and put them into the universe, but it's a deranged prophecy, conspiracy,

Speaker 2 strange account. Also, as I mentioned, Donald Trump posting patriotic pin-ups.
And here it is right here. Half naked, women wearing American flag bikinis and underwear.
Stay patriotic, females only.

Speaker 2 You'll never have to guess if they're actually women. That's what Trump's posting on Veterans Day.
He also posts this message about Barack Obama.

Speaker 2 He says, if President Trump can be impeached and indicted for the fake Russian collusion, which they write collision story, then Barack Obama should go to prison for creating it. Collision story.

Speaker 2 Russian collision. Then Obama should go to prison for Russian collision.

Speaker 2 We also know that Donald Trump has ordered federal prosecutors in the southern district of Florida to pursue criminal investigations into anybody who was involved in potentially investigating Donald Trump for Russian collision back in 2016.

Speaker 2 We know that multiple prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida have resigned because they want nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 They know that they could lose their bar license for being involved in patently unlawful prosecutions.

Speaker 2 And we know that subpoenas have been issued out of that Southern District of Florida prosecutor's office, but they're being signed basically by the Trump appointees at the highest levels because none of the line prosecutors want to touch this because they know that their careers can be destroyed and they also know that they may be committing crimes.

Speaker 2 Oh, he's also posting this on Veterans Day. He posts this image that says, racism in America was almost dead because we were united in ridiculing racist and their beliefs.

Speaker 2 And then Trump posts a photo of former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama and says, then these two showed up and set America back 100 years.

Speaker 2 Again, this is what Trump's posting on Veterans Day. He also posts the Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our nation's best, now has more than a 28% vacancy factor.

Speaker 2 and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the city, calling the troops fast before it's too late. Just the news.

Speaker 2 What are you even talking about?

Speaker 2 The miracle mile, you're calling the magnificent mile.

Speaker 2 What do you even call in the troops? The hell are you even talking about with fake statistics and fake data as well? Now, I think this is really important for me to bring this up.

Speaker 2 The Medicare annual enrollment period is here. This is the time to compare your options.
If you don't, your costs could go up, your coverage could change, or your plan could disappear entirely.

Speaker 2 So, listen up. That's why I recommend you reach out to our partners chapter.
They're the only advisors who look at every single plan in the country and provide honest advice to Americans on Medicare.

Speaker 7 It's why we work with them at the Midas Touch Network.

Speaker 2 And under 20 minutes, they can see if you're already on the best plan for your needs. If you are, they'll tell you.
If not, they'll help you switch for free.

Speaker 2 They've already helped many members of the Midas Touch community and they can help you too. Don't get duped by brokers who are pushing the plans that pay them the biggest kickbacks.

Speaker 2 And don't wait until December to figure out your plan for next year. Call chapter today at 82 Medicare.
That's 82 Medicare and get honest advice today.

Speaker 2 Give them a call and let me know how it goes in the comments below. I know the Midas Mighty have been very happy with the results.
Can I show you what a real president,

Speaker 2 what a real leader does on Veterans Day? Here was the post from former President Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 I've always said our nation has a sacred obligation to prepare those we send into harm's way, to support their loved ones when they are gone, and to provide for them and their families when they come home.

Speaker 2 To honor that call, when I was president, one of my proudest accomplishments was signing the PACT Act, the most significant expansion of care and benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances.

Speaker 2 This Veterans Day, we honor all the brave men and women who answered the call to serve and defend. Our nation is stronger and our democracy more secure because of their service and sacrifice.

Speaker 2 Congressmember Eric Swalwell writes, Today, we honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation's uniform and fought for our freedom.

Speaker 2 To all the veterans in California's 14th and beyond, I thank you for your selfless service.

Speaker 2 Former President Barack Obama surprised an entire aircraft full of veterans on Veterans Day in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 2 Watch this incredible moment. This took place over the weekend.
Let's play it.

Speaker 11 Hello, everybody.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 11 As we approach Veterans Day, I wanted to stop by and just say thank you for your extraordinary service to you, your family.

Speaker 11 The sacrifices that all of you made to protect our country is something that will always be honored. And we are very grateful.

Speaker 11 And we also happen to welcome you with a 70-degree day in D.C., which doesn't always happen around here.

Speaker 12 That's the first time I've seen a president, former or current, greet and honor flight, and that is absolutely amazing.

Speaker 12 A commander-in-chief, a leader who's going to show up and tell you that your service was worth something. I think that's the important part.
So, I think it was a great thing to have.

Speaker 12 Last time I got to see a president, it was General Ford.

Speaker 13 How about that?

Speaker 13 It's a great my heart today to see all these people.

Speaker 2 And again, while you have former President Obama doing that and former President Biden doing that. Let's check in on Mar-a-Lago.
Story broke from Axios.

Speaker 2 DC plastic surgeons are seeing a surge in what the Trump supporters are calling Mar-a-Lago face requests from Trump insiders.

Speaker 2 The women who hang out at Mar-a-Lago, I guess are getting procedures that are being referred to as Mar-a-Lago face since January.

Speaker 2 DC plastic surgeons have seen a wave of Trump insiders asking for overt procedures in line with the Mar-a-Lago face look.

Speaker 2 As with the $100 million Arc Day Trump, the revamped Lincoln bathroom, or the gold oval office bling, it's less quiet luxury and more foghorn luxury.

Speaker 2 Another feast being prepared at Mar-a-Lago today as well. As we heard Trump's interview where he said that food stamps basically should be eliminated in general, he doesn't like the SNAP program.

Speaker 2 The cost of living in the United States while all of that is taking place is viewed as a top barrier to achieving the American dream right now under this Trump regime.

Speaker 2 And we're being gaslit by Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and other regime officials who say that affordability is a con job. Remember, that's what Donald Trump said.
Affordability is a con job.

Speaker 2 Here's Treasury Secretary Besant saying it. Let's play it.

Speaker 14 You can blame the media. I understand that's part of your job, but let's talk about voters who are saying life is too expensive.

Speaker 14 Not talking about Democrats in New York City who might have voted for mayor-elect Mom Dani, ranchers, Republicans in Red State saying things are too expensive. What do you say to them?

Speaker 14 Not that it's a con job, but they feel like life is too expensive, but that it's a reality of their lives.

Speaker 13 I say that there are many aspects of affordability that have gotten better under President Trump. They're going to continue to get better.

Speaker 13 I mean, unbelievably, Bloomberg had an article yesterday that said, oh, mortgages, mortgage rates aren't down that much. Well, on inauguration day, a 30-year mortgage was 7.8%.
Yesterday it was 6.22%.

Speaker 13 That is the single biggest component of buying a new home. And that is a gigantic drop.
But it said, oh, they're just down slow.

Speaker 2 And here's Donald Trump saying that it is a con job and it is fake news. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 15 The economy was listed as a top concern. I know you know this for voters in New Jersey, New York, Virginia.
I know you've been all over the

Speaker 15 affordability issue today and for the last several months, eggs, gas,

Speaker 15 dinner costs for Thanksgiving way down. But other things, if you noted, have gone up.

Speaker 16 Beef, coffee,

Speaker 16 auto repairs.

Speaker 15 Is this a voter perception issue of the economy, or is there more that needs to be done by Republicans on Capitol Hill? or done in terms of policy?

Speaker 16 More than anything else, it's a conjugate by the Democrats. They're saying they just have to say, you know, they put out something, say today costs are up.

Speaker 16 They feed it to the anchors of ABC, CBS, and NBC and a lot of other and you know CNN and etc.

Speaker 16 And it's like a standard, I'll never forget they had used a word like manufactured. Do you remember the word manufactured? It's a manufactured economy.
Nobody uses that word.

Speaker 16 Every anchor, brokerage, manufactured, they do exactly what they say. It's such a rigged system.
So are you ready? Costs are way down. Gasoline is going to be hitting $2 pretty soon or around $2.

Speaker 16 Gasoline is at $270 now and it was at $4.50 under Biden, under Sleepy Joe.

Speaker 16 When gasoline comes down, when energy comes down, and everybody agrees energy is down, we drill, you know, drill, baby, drill. We're going like wild.
We produce more.

Speaker 2 Lastly, on Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump was asked about how a Chinese diplomat said the prime minister of Japan should be beheaded. Are you okay with that?

Speaker 2 And Trump's like, well, our allies are bad bad people also. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 15 A new detailed report on CNN, of all places, documents China's expansion of most, 60% of its missile facilities. It's staggering, bigger than anyone had ever thought, more robust growth.

Speaker 15 And over the weekend,

Speaker 15 the new Japanese prime minister, who I know you like a lot, Kaiichi,

Speaker 15 called the Taiwan situation extremely severe in its phase and that they may consider any move on Taiwan by China to be a national survival crisis for Japan. Now, that gets better.

Speaker 15 A Chinese diplomat today said in a social media post that she, the Prime Minister of Japan, should be beheaded for her comments.

Speaker 15 These are not our friends, sir, are they, in China?

Speaker 16 Well, a lot of our allies aren't our friends either.

Speaker 16 Our allies took advantage of us on trade more than China did. And China took big advantage.
I mean, we built, you know, because

Speaker 16 we built their military. We built their whole thing.

Speaker 2 There you have it, folks. You wonder why allies are not sharing intelligence with us?

Speaker 2 Because we're run by someone who is not only not intelligent, but malicious, vindictive, vexatious, and I believe treasonous. Hit subscribe.
