Speaker 7 Republican leaders were losing their minds on live TV this weekend as Donald Trump's presidency continues to collapse, and that collapse is now rapidly accelerating.

Speaker 7 For example, Donald Trump's national economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, was confronted with a graphic showing that prices across all sorts of food and products are surging right now and Americans can't afford it.

Speaker 7 Kevin Hassett says, but eggs are a little cheaper now, aren't they? Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 But let's take a look at some of the goods that we buy, you know, regularly in our household. Let's take a look at this.

Speaker 8 Coffee, as you mentioned, up 15%.

Speaker 8 Uncooked ground beef up 14%. Bananas up 8%.

Speaker 8 Fresh cakes and cupcakes up 6%. Lettuce up almost 6%.

Speaker 8 Lunch meat, salad, dressings, tomatoes, all up well more than that, 2.5%.

Speaker 8 I mean, Americans are clearly feeling that prices are continuing to go up. And

Speaker 8 with many of the goods that they buy regularly, they are going up. Well, and more, I mean, a significant number.

Speaker 10 Let's look at it. First of all, when we came in, the very first first thing that all of you folks were talking to us about was egg prices.

Speaker 11 And egg prices are down year over year.

Speaker 10 You could have put that in your chart right there.

Speaker 11 But the fact is, when we had almost 10% inflation in the economy,

Speaker 8 that wasn't about economic factors. That was bird flu with the egg prices, just to be clear.

Speaker 10 Oh, but the meat prices problem is we've shut the border from Mexico because of an infestation in Mexico. So there are a bunch of things like that that are targeted problems.

Speaker 10 And also, so you have lunch meats and meats, but the meats are coming slower from Mexico because there's a pest infestation there.

Speaker 7 Next, Kevin Hassett tries to claim that Thanksgiving is going to be 25% cheaper according to a Walmart report.

Speaker 7 But he tries to leave out that the Walmart report says that their Thanksgiving meal this year only has 14 items versus 21 items under former President Biden and that it was previously using brand names and now they use generic names.

Speaker 7 Watch as Kevin Hassett is fact checked to his face.

Speaker 8 Here, play this glip the president claims that thanksgiving costs are down 25 I mean does he know that's not true well if you look at Walmart and the few places that put out their prices

Speaker 8 I got to stop because the Walmart comparison's like non

Speaker 8 I mean Walmart had a Thanksgiving package last year they've got a Thanksgiving package this year the one this year contains much less than what the one last year took. So that's why the price is less.

Speaker 8 Look, we got a chart here.

Speaker 8 Last year, it went 21 total products this year it's 15. uh total number of items in those projects was products was 29 now 29 now it's 22.

Speaker 8 uh there's more generic brand stuff so i mean thanksgiving if you're going to the store to buy groceries for thanksgiving it's going to be more expensive this year i i really though don't understand where you're going in the sense that joe biden gave us joe biden gave us 20 he's not president donald trump's no no and you're you want us to to fix the hole that joe biden no i'm just saying why does the president tell The prices went up so much under Joe Biden, and inflation is way down.

Speaker 10 Inflation is about half what it was in December. This is something that's being fixed fast.

Speaker 9 And real incomes are up after dropping about $3,000 under Joe Biden.

Speaker 10 And so, sure, you could find a few things where the price is higher, but there's a whole bunch of stuff when the price is lower, like gasoline.

Speaker 1 Where are we going to get the Republican plan to?

Speaker 11 You understand that mortgage rates have gone way down, and it's much cheaper to buy a home now than it was when you

Speaker 10 took off this.

Speaker 7 Next up, you have Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, who says, we've got a big plan that we're going to announce right now. We're going to make things cheaper, like coffee and bananas.
And here's how.

Speaker 7 We're going to remove some tariffs, and that's going to be a big win for the American people. You put the tariffs on? What do you mean it's going to be a win? You caused the problem.

Speaker 7 What are you even talking about here? Play this clip.

Speaker 15 So not only will the tariffs come off some of the things you just listed, like coffee, like the cocoa,

Speaker 15 many other bananas, many other items. That's a result of the trade deals going through.
And then we will see this go down. And we're also seeing

Speaker 15 the import barriers for the other countries come through. So

Speaker 15 this is a complete trade policy. And now we are going to see it affect the prices.

Speaker 7 More from Treasury Secretary Scott Besant here. And he goes, look, Trump's tariffs against the world, that's his signature policy.
That's like his go-to.

Speaker 7 So the Supreme Court needs to recognize that's his signature policy and just allow him to continue his tariffs against the world.

Speaker 7 But in the previous clip, you recognized that tariffs were causing prices to surge.

Speaker 7 Oh, and then by the way, he's like, and Donald Trump has used tariffs to end all of these wars and everything so much better. This guy is such a freaking liar.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 16 Real quick, Secretary, what are you expecting from the Supreme Court? Tariffs have already brought you, what, $200 billion or so.

Speaker 16 If the Supreme Court goes against you in this upcoming decision, are you going to have to pay back, the U.S. government will have to pay back $200 billion in tariff revenue already collected?

Speaker 16 What's the backup plan?

Speaker 15 Well, Maria, I want to say this in the strongest possible terms.

Speaker 15 I think that there are three points here is one, this is one of President Trump's signature policies, signature policies, and traditionally the Supreme Court does not interfere with a president's signature policy.

Speaker 15 Two, this is an emergency authority, which is IEPA. President Trump has successfully used that.

Speaker 15 One, to, as we talked about earlier,

Speaker 15 on the rare earths problem, he threatened substantial tariffs on China, and that made the rare earths flow.

Speaker 15 Two, several, numerous of the peace deals that he's negotiated, he threatened to put tariffs on the countries, and that got us to the peace deal.

Speaker 7 More from Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, right here. He's asked, even by Maria Bardaroma on state regime media, known as Fox.
So when do you think the public's going to feel a little bit of relief?

Speaker 7 Like people are not doing as great as you're saying there, Besson. And he's like, look, look, look.

Speaker 7 What's really going to happen is that sometime next year, maybe the first quarter, maybe the second quarter,

Speaker 7 it'll happen in the future. Next year's our year.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 16 When do you think that the public is going to really feel an impact from your moves to rein in the cost of living?

Speaker 1 How long will that take?

Speaker 15 I think we are going to see a substantial acceleration in the economy in the first second quarter. And I think we are also, we're already seeing on many prices,

Speaker 15 as I said, we're bending that curve down. And the increase in real incomes, I think Americans are going to feel it in the first quarter, second quarter.

Speaker 15 I think 2026, thanks to President Trump's signature plans, is going to be a great year for working Americans, for the markets.

Speaker 15 I call it parallel prosperity. Main Street and Wall Street can both do great, but I think Main Street's going to have a great year in 2026.

Speaker 7 Didn't Donald Trump promise that on day one, everything was going to be cheaper? Isn't Donald Trump currently posting that we are experiencing a golden age right now?

Speaker 7 Really, a golden age when jobless claims are as high as they've been really since the Great Recession, as our GDP is contracting, as prices are surging, as Americans are psychologically tortured, living paycheck to paycheck right now.

Speaker 7 He's out there saying golden age right now.

Speaker 7 Anyway, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is then showed a clip of the guy who runs Omaha Steaks and Maria Bardaroma is like, so they're expecting $10 a pound ground beef. What's your response to that?

Speaker 7 And he's like, yeah, I mean, it's like Biden's fault. And like, I don't really know.
It's not our fault.

Speaker 7 You know, you see, Maria, the beef industry, it's very, it's very long-term to deal with it here. Play this clip.

Speaker 16 Move on to affordability because this is another issue that the Biden administration brought you. Of course, we remember when inflation was at 40-year highs, President Trump has made this a priority.

Speaker 16 But suddenly, there is more talk about the struggles in the cost of living. I spoke with the CEO of Omaha Steaks on Friday on mornings with Maria, and here's what he told me.
Watch this.

Speaker 13 So we are headed for what I'm calling, Maria, the $10 a pound reality. By third quarter of 26, families are going to see $10 a pound ground beef in the grocery store.

Speaker 13 So we're in for a bit of a haul here. I don't believe we'll see price come down in any meaningful way until sometime in 2027.

Speaker 16 Secretary, I know that President Trump has been able to rein in inflation, certainly the cost of some foods and energy, but what is your take on what you just heard? He's expecting $10

Speaker 7 meat.

Speaker 15 Well, Maria, Maria, the beef market is a very specialized market. It goes in long cycles.
And

Speaker 15 this is the perfect storm. Again, something we inherited.

Speaker 7 You Remember when Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is also like, when it comes to the rising costs of electricity, that's not a federal issue.

Speaker 7 That's a state issue, really, because Donald Trump promised that he was going to bring electricity prices down 50 to 75%

Speaker 7 during his campaign, Besant. But you and this regime lie about literally everything.

Speaker 7 And fortunately, Midas Touch is fact-checking you every step of the way with the Midas Mighty who are watching this and letting the people know what scumbags this regime and what liars and what Ponzi schemers and scammers this regime is.

Speaker 7 Then they bring on MAGA Republican Senator John Barroso, and he's asked by Kristen Welker, so are we going to learn about your health care plan? What's going on?

Speaker 7 And note he doesn't try to refute the claim right here, as Aaron Rupar says, that there is no plan and they're going to take away Obamacare from everybody. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 19 Senator, but what I hear you saying is that there's no plan. There's no bill.
President Trump is calling for direct payments to Americans, which would inevitably lead to repealing Obamacare.

Speaker 19 Just to be very clear, will any plan include repealing Obamacare?

Speaker 14 We need a plan to lower the cost of health care in America. I know very well what's going on in Wyoming with the 40,000 people who are on Obamacare get very high subsidies, over $900 a month.

Speaker 9 So do you want to repeal it, Senator?

Speaker 1 Do you want to repeal it?

Speaker 7 I want to make sure we have a health care plan that works for the American people, and Obamacare has failed i mean why is cruelty always the point why don't they just do this extend the affordable care act subsidies so people can keep their health care right now and then transparently

Speaker 7 try to figure out a better solution if you have one but you're ripping away health care right now from 20 million americans you're ripping away medicaid from tens of millions of americans it's just cruel you're shutting down rural hospitals and you're like no we're not we're giving 50 billion dollars to rural hospitals yeah after taking away $200 billion, right?

Speaker 7 If I stole $1,000 from you and then gave you $200 back, I shouldn't be bragging that I gave you $200 back. I stole $800 from you.
It's criminal, right?

Speaker 7 I mean, this is the arguments that these MAGAs are making, and the people are sick and tired of it. And we recognize what their tactics are.
Oh, here he goes again.

Speaker 7 National Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett. He goes in response to Jonathan Carl, tariffs have been removed from some food items.
How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?

Speaker 7 And basically, Kevin Hassett implies that prices are never going to go down. Here, watch this.

Speaker 8 But let me ask you the question I asked again. So the tariffs have been removed from these items that we all, many of us buy every, you know, the grocery store.

Speaker 8 How soon do we expect the prices on those goods now to go down?

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 10 Well, the prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs. And so the prices of the prices will go down.
Well, the prices will go down, of course.

Speaker 8 But because the tariffs have been taken off.

Speaker 10 Right. Well, because the supply of the goods into the U.S.
is going to increase.

Speaker 7 But y'all promised that prices were going to go down. That was like literally your thing.

Speaker 7 Next up, you have Treasury Secretary Scott Besant admitting that there's never been a trade deal actually done with China. It's like, oh, we haven't done one yet.

Speaker 7 Even though we said we did one in May, June, and July, and September, and we've manipulated the markets. Maybe by Thanksgiving, we'll do another fake deal.

Speaker 7 You know, Xi Jinping of China is probably sitting there like, yo, these people in America have lost their freaking minds. Like, what a gift to Xi Jinping.

Speaker 7 Such utter weakness and weirdness out of this regime. So now you're admitting there's no deal? Watch this here.
Play this clip.

Speaker 16 Is China holding back rare earth magnets from companies tied to the U.S. military right now?

Speaker 15 Yeah, Maria, I think that Wall Street Journal reporting is not very accurate. We haven't even finished the agreement, which we hope to have done by Thanksgiving.

Speaker 15 And I am confident that post-AR meeting in Korea between the two leaders, the President Trump, President Xi, that China will honor their agreements. Xi Jinping has great respect for President Trump.

Speaker 15 The meeting was conducted very high level, and I am confident that they will honor their agreement. And if they don't, we have lots of levers.

Speaker 7 And let me just guess, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, here's what's going to happen. Right before Thanksgiving, you're going to say, we've done a new framework.

Speaker 7 And then you're going to manipulate the stock market so it tries to go up again. Meanwhile, the fundamentals are so bad, and it's been hoisted up on this manipulation, on this manufactured AI

Speaker 7 bogus BS crap. By the way, do y'all know that like Bitcoin prices are lower now than when Donald Trump even took office? Just think about that.
The Bitcoin president.

Speaker 7 I mean, by the way, Donald Trump's own shitcoin or whatever you call it, the Trump coin and Melania coin. What's that down since they launched it during inauguration? Like 80%, 90%.

Speaker 7 I mean, just think about, well, I mean, everything this guy touches is a failure. When will people just recognize this?

Speaker 7 But what they do do and what what Ponzi schemers do, is they try to blame others.

Speaker 7 So here you have National Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett said, what we really need to do here is just blame the Democrats, blame the Democrats. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 And for health insurance premiums. And we have 20-some million Americans are going to have not just rising health insurance premiums, but skyrocketing.
When do we get the Republican plan?

Speaker 10 So it seems I'm kind of confused because Obamacare is 100% a Democratic policy. The current path of Obamacare is 100% something that was created by Democrats.

Speaker 11 They added a big expansion and then they knew they couldn't pay for the whole thing in a long time.

Speaker 1 And while that's a plan to do that, let me just finish that.

Speaker 10 While they put all of those subsidies into Obamacare, Obamacare became not affordable. It was an Affordable Care Act.

Speaker 10 In fact, the cost of these Obamacare premiums has gone up twice as fast as for the president.

Speaker 1 But I mean, are we really on Tashwan?

Speaker 8 Is there going to be a Republican plan to address that? Or the COVID-19?

Speaker 10 Yeah, of course the president has already talked about it.

Speaker 9 Blame Democrats. The The Democrats are at fault.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 10 And in fact, we even had a solution for this in the Big Beautiful Bill, and they took the Byrd rule to take $30 billion away from people so they couldn't have the health insurance that they needed.

Speaker 7 Then you have Republican Senator Cassidy said, well, I like Donald Trump's plan.

Speaker 7 You take that $26 billion that would be going to insurance companies for the Affordable Care Act subsidies, and then you give it to the people, and then you let the people do it, and they'll negotiate.

Speaker 7 What do you think that a human being with just a random person like any of us, if we could effectively negotiate with an insurance company on rates? Or do you think that the power of the government

Speaker 7 lowering the prices is a net benefit? And

Speaker 7 what are you even talking about? You're going to give people $2,000? What happens when the health insurance, when the healthcare cost is more than $2,000 and people can't afford it?

Speaker 7 Like, don't you realize how health insurance works? What's the purpose of insurance in the first place? And why we have risk pools and how we deal with this, you know, and

Speaker 7 how

Speaker 7 insurance works here, play this clip.

Speaker 20 The president is proposing that we take the $26 billion that would be going to insurance companies if we just do a straight-out extension.

Speaker 20 And by the way, 20% of that $26 billion, 20% will go for profit and administrative overhead.

Speaker 20 Give it directly to the American people in an account in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase health care on their own terms.

Speaker 20 Now that makes them an informed consumer. It also helps address the need to have coverage for that deductible.

Speaker 20 And if they get that policy with a higher deductible, they can actually lower their premium. It's a sweet spot.
Lower premiums help with the deductible, making the patient the informed consumer.

Speaker 20 The president and I are united. We should all be united about that.

Speaker 7 Then you have Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, deputy AG. He tries to gaslight us all and says, we are going to find out who is really involved with Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 7 We're investigating it.

Speaker 7 We're taking on Donald. Donald, okay? That's the answer.
Donald and probably his rich oligarch friends. It's the guy you work for, idiot.
You're play this clip.

Speaker 15 Anyway, and so we're going to continue to find out if there's anybody responsible, anybody that hasn't been held accountable. And if they're out there, we'll find them.

Speaker 21 Yeah, I think most Americans would say the fact it has been going on for more than a decade, and it seems like

Speaker 21 nobody's left to prosecute or bring charges against.

Speaker 22 You can't seem to find evidence is what's concerning to people and uh more transparency the better so thank you then you have then you have this maga republican congress member um who advocates for high deductibles he goes what i think we need is high deductibles for the people play this clip it's because when people have skin in the game when they have health and health savings accounts that their money is in there and they can use it in their own in their own fashion and i've seen it literally in my office when people have high deductibles and and they're accountable for these charges, when I'm ordering tests, they ask me how much those tests are going to cost.

Speaker 22 And I tell them how much those roughly estimated, how much those tests are going to cost. And these people and I,

Speaker 22 my patients and I have a conversation about the cost of their health care.

Speaker 22 This third-party payer process where nobody cares, the doctor doesn't care, the patient doesn't care, but the insurance constantly is, in my case, prior authorizations and refusing to grant the patients access to labs or tests that I feel like they need.

Speaker 22 And I've had that for 25 years as a family doctor. We have to get the customer, which is the patient, in charge of not only their own health care, but also in charge of the costs associated with that.

Speaker 22 And high-deductible plans with Health Savings Accounts will do that.

Speaker 7 And then finally, Dr. Oz showing us all that he doesn't even realize that people choose their insurance under Obamacare and showing us that he doesn't even know how insurance works.

Speaker 7 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 16 Check, getting a check in the mail, actually work.

Speaker 23 If you had a check in the mail, you could buy the insurance you thought was best for you right but how would the government actually make that happen oh we could use health savings accounts uh there are different tactics flexible savings accounts there there are tools that exist right now that we could use the question is is that the best way for us to use taxpayer dollars and this is critical is it sustainable if we truly create a marketplace can people use that money to wisely use

Speaker 23 their you know their power to buy insurance that helps them
