Speaker 7 You can't hide what's happening to you, Donald, or what you're doing to this country and the world. There's a reason why you have the lowest approval in modern presidential history.

Speaker 7 There's a reason why we, the people, are absolutely livid at what you and your regime are doing as your plans blow up each and every day. You can try to hide your hand as it rots away.

Speaker 7 You can try to hide the issues with your regime as it collapses, but no one is buying it. Let's dig into it, folks.
Just want to remind you, make sure you all hit subscribe right now.

Speaker 7 The Midas Touch YouTube channel is on its way to 6 million subscribers. You saw earlier this week.
The Trump regime was attacking us on Trump's social media platform. Fox has been attacking us.

Speaker 7 We need your help. Subscribe.
You may think you're subscribed to this YouTube channel because the algorithm sends this to you, but make sure you actually are subscribed for sure. So let's get into it.

Speaker 7 Of course, you saw Donald Trump at that disastrous press conference we covered trying to cover up his hand as it rots away, but there's no covering up what's happening to our economy right now.

Speaker 7 Earlier in the morning, we learned that 32 to 35,000 jobs were lost in the private sector in November, according to the latest ADP data.

Speaker 7 There was an expectation on Wall Street that 40,000 jobs would be created.

Speaker 7 But you see, the greedy corporations viewed job losses as a good thing for them because they go, ah, that must mean the Fed is going to lower interest rates. So screw the people.

Speaker 7 You see the perversion of Trump and his oligarch buds.

Speaker 7 They just want to see people get screwed because they think that's an opportunity for them to feast on the people, to make money while screwing over the people.

Speaker 7 Now, as the economy is doing horrible in the real world where most Americans live, what is Trump focused on?

Speaker 7 You know, they built the golden, they're building a golden ballroom after tearing down the East Wing. You know know that Trump's talking about building a massive arch.

Speaker 7 And he always talks about how he's building new tiles in the Lincoln bedroom and this or that.

Speaker 7 Well, a new thing he did yesterday was that the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to now call it the Donald J.

Speaker 7 Trump Institute of Peace because they say he's the greatest peacemaker.

Speaker 7 Now, obviously, this is despicable and disgusting, but you should add to the fact that a federal judge ruled that the Trump regime's takeover of the Institute of Peace was unlawful.

Speaker 7 Now, the Supreme Court temporarily stayed or paused a district court ruling saying Trump's firing of all of the board members from the Institute of Peace was unlawful. The Supreme Court said, pause.

Speaker 7 Let's just give it time. Let's see it work its way through trial.

Speaker 7 So what the State Department did during that pause was they renamed the whole Institute to have Donald Trump's name on it, an actual traitor and someone who, in my opinion, has been doing the bidding of Russia by laundering Russians' plan to destroy Ukraine and destroy NATO.

Speaker 7 So what else is Donald Trump doing as he's festering in his own rot? By the way, quick reminder, make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel. Let me tell you what Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 7 pardoning criminals pardoning criminals like himself let's not forget and we don't don't mince words here on the midas touch network trump's a felon trump's a fraud trump's a criminal trump is a sexual abuser trump bankrupts things he is a crap businessman for most of his life he bankrupted things a destroyer not a builder so who do you think his buds are who does he want to help out other frauds other sexual abusers other con artists the people he hangs out with right the people in the epstein files that's who his friends are that's who he hung out with his entire life just take a look at this graph right here it just shows the amount of pardons that presidents gave their entire term so George W.

Speaker 7 Bush his entire term two terms 189 pardons Biden two terms 212 pardons Trump's first administration 144 pardons Biden 80 pardons Donald Trump so far 1500 pardons now earlier in this week you know that he pardoned one of the biggest narco-terrorists in the world, Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former president of Honduras, who said, get those drugs up the gringo's nose and let's kill him.

Speaker 7 By the way, Donald Trump's own personal lawyer, turned DOJ, top official, turned Court of Appeals Judge Emil Bove, was the prosecutor who prosecuted Juan Orlando Hernandez and his brother.

Speaker 7 But Trump goes, oh, it was a Biden woke deep state unfair thing. No, Juan Orlando Hernandez was working with El Chapo and the Sinaloa cartel.

Speaker 7 They brought in 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, street value, tens of billions of dollars, killing tens of thousands of Americans. And Trump's like, yeah, I'm going to pardon that guy.

Speaker 7 You know about that one, though, already, right? But how about this? Trump also pardoned a guy named David Gentile in the past 48 hours, a massive Ponzi schemer, a $1.6 billion scheme.

Speaker 7 this fake private equity company, this guy David Gentile created, where he lured in all of these individual investors. 10,000 regular folks were defrauded by this guy.

Speaker 7 It's not like he even defrauded like rich corporations. He defrauded regular folks out of 1,000 bucks, 10,000 bucks, you know, 20,000 bucks, their life savings.
A $1.6 billion scheme.

Speaker 7 He was sentenced to seven years in prison. This con artist, this Ponzi schemer, this freaking felon like Trump, David Gentile.

Speaker 7 Trump commuted his sentence, so he's now just serving seven days and he's released.

Speaker 7 Trump also pardoned a former top entertainment executive named Tim Lewicki from the Oakview group, who Donald Trump's own regime prosecuted for antitrust crimes.

Speaker 7 They were prosecuting this guy and Trump goes, full pardon to this guy. Do you see what they're doing here? And while Trump does that, who does he go after?

Speaker 7 He goes, all of of these Somalian people are frauds. The Somalis in general are frauds.
You know how freaking racist that is? To say all of Somalia and every Somalian person is a fraud.

Speaker 7 Elon Omar should go back to her country and the horrific things that Trump and his regime say. It is so utterly despicable.

Speaker 7 While he actually pardons the biggest drug dealers and the biggest frauds, and he himself is a fraud. He himself is a sexual abuser who was found liable civilly in court for sexual abuse.

Speaker 7 He's a bankrupt. So while Trump is doing that, there's chaos right now in the House of Representatives.
Chaos right now.

Speaker 7 Republican anger erupts as MAGA Mike Johnson frets about the future of the party and people are pissed at MAGA Mike.

Speaker 7 So Nancy Mace, MAGA Republican Nancy Mace, she goes, I think I'm going to do what Marjorie Taylor Green's doing. I think I'm going to leave.

Speaker 7 We don't know if she's going to resign yet, but word on the street is Nancy Mace wants to do what Marjorie Taylor Greene did.

Speaker 7 Meanwhile, Elise Stefanik, another MAGA Republican, is attacking MAGA Mike Johnson and says, if there was a vote for the Speaker of the House tomorrow, MAGA Mike would lose.

Speaker 7 And she realizes, Elise Stefanik does, she ain't going to win governor of New York like she thought she was. Remember, she was pushed out as the United Nations ambassador, the U.S.

Speaker 7 ambassador to the U.N. by Donald Trump, and then she was going to run for governor, but she's doing horribly there.

Speaker 7 So I think she's positioning herself to try to be the next leader and oust MAGA Mike. So you've got that going on.

Speaker 7 And I think there's a lot of MAGAs who are freaked out about those results from Tennessee's 7th, that special election, which saw a 14-point shift away from the Republicans.

Speaker 7 Granted, Matt Van Epp still won that seat in Tennessee's 7th congressional district. True, but it was a 14-point shift towards the Democratic side in a plus-22 Trump district.

Speaker 7 By the way, you know, people are getting nervous on MAGA side when state regime media known as Fox starts bringing out those photos of Sidney Sweeney and they make up that the left is mad at Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 7 You know, when they do cleavage shots of Sidney Sweeney and make up that the left is mad, that they're panicking.

Speaker 7 That's like they're, oh, look the other way, look the other way, Sidney Sweeney, Sidney Sweeney. So freaking weird, by the way.

Speaker 7 Also, talk about freaking weird and freaking dangerous and crimes against humanity. Daily Mail got a great exclusive about Christy Gnome and ICE, that the ICE hiring process has been horrific.

Speaker 7 Illiterate individuals, violent misfits, criminals, white supremacists. Don't you wonder when all is said and done, how many oath keepers, proud boys, and other white nationalists are part of ICE?

Speaker 7 I bet you it comprises a vast majority of these people.

Speaker 7 But yeah, this Daily Mail piece goes into all of the illiterate people, all of the people who have criminal records, people who can't pass a basic physical, people who are incredibly out of shape.

Speaker 7 It was a good, it was a good expose that they did right there.

Speaker 7 So today, as you know, the official report is being released from the independent watchdog inside the Secretary of Defense regarding Pete Hegseth's signal chats.

Speaker 7 So, what the finding was is pretty obvious and clear that Pete Hegset's conduct in engaging on these signal chats operationally put the American military in jeopardy, compromise security.

Speaker 7 And basically, what Pete Hegseth is saying when he was involved in those signal chats where he was talking about the war plans with Yemen, Pete Hegseth's entire defense was,

Speaker 7 you know, look, I have original classification authority, so no matter what I send to anybody, like if I were to send nuclear codes to Xi Jinping, because I get to decide what's classified or not, Pete Hegset's argument is I can basically retroactively via mental telepathy declassify things after the fact, right?

Speaker 7 Retroactive declassification. Anything I do can't be wrong because I'm the Secretary of Defense.
And by the way, just think about this.

Speaker 7 So yesterday when lawmakers were given the information about what pete hegsith put on the signal chat and what he was engaged in they had to do it in a skiff a sensitive compartment and information facility because the stuff was classified the documents and information was all marked secret no foreign n-o-f-o-r meaning no one even in foreign entities can look at it it was so highly classified that's the stuff that hegseth was putting in text message chats to his wife and to his buds and to this group signal chat it should also be noted that Hegsith refused to sit down for an interview with the independent watchdog.

Speaker 7 And also Pete Hegsith refused to turn over his phone. So that should tell you a lot right there.
But Hegseth responds, no classified information, total exoneration, case close.

Speaker 7 Doesn't everyone Donald Trump's like, didn't know the woman, no sex with her, no clue, no affair. It didn't happen.
It's just the constant lying and gaslighting.

Speaker 7 And we know all of those people are absolute liars. We also got a report from the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 7 Remember how we reported here a while back, back in October, October 16th, where the four-star Admiral Alvin Holsey, who was in charge of Southcom Southern Command, that's the area where these war crimes were taking place, how he was.

Speaker 7 pushed out, how he was re how he resigned then.

Speaker 7 Well, now the Wall Street Journal reporting talks about how it was basically a de facto ouster where Alvin Holseley said, I'm not committing these war crimes. And then Hegstad said, yes, you are.

Speaker 7 You follow my orders, Holsey. And if you don't follow my orders, you must leave.
No matter what I say, it's legal because I say so, is what Hegs had told the four-star admiral. He goes, or resign.

Speaker 7 And so the four-star admiral, Alvin Holsey, resigned. I want to talk about this as well.

Speaker 7 I just think it's important because as I mentioned before, you go back through Trump's history, his kids' history, they're losers.

Speaker 7 Loser family, born with a lot of money because Fred left him a lot of money. But Trump has run casinos into the ground, companies into the ground.
And we see why.

Speaker 7 I mean, he runs things horribly, erratically, emotionally. He's a horrible leader.
And that's why he's bankrupted things over and over again. Then he just sues everybody.

Speaker 7 He screws over workers. Horrible human being, horrible business person.
But look, just take a look at some of the companies that he and his family have been involved in just recently, right?

Speaker 7 So you had Eric Trump. He's involved in this company that trades on NASDAQ called American Bitcoin.

Speaker 7 And after the lockup period ended, meaning when the insiders can put their shares back on an open market, it's called the lockup period. This thing is down like 75%

Speaker 7 since the lockup period ended or some crazy number like that. 26 minute, 51%

Speaker 7 wipeout that deepened the trump's crypto woes and this was a company that eric trump was touting he was on nasdaq

Speaker 7 american bitcoin it's not it's a company that takes the name bitcoin but they call themselves american bitcoin well that company is doing crap at least in my opinion giving you my oh this is my opinion based on this result and then you have Alt5 Sigma.

Speaker 7 NASDAQ tells Trump crypto partner alt five sigma and no longer meets the listing requirements after a missed report. So you've got that there.

Speaker 7 And then Trump media, right now, it's what crashed about 50% in the past six months and way more than that, you know, over the past year.

Speaker 7 You've got the Trump meme coin crashing, the Melania meme coin crashing.
