0:00This has been an absolutely catastrophic Saturday morning for Donald Trump. The ceasefire in Gaza is officially over. We have Bitcoin crashing. Donald Trump spiraling post after post. He's claiming he has the highest polling numbers in history when we know he has the lowest polling numbers in history. You have Donald Trump attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said that she's resigning from Congress effective January 2026. But that's not enough for Donald Trump. He keeps calling her a traitor. Marjorie Trader Brown. And meanwhile, the entire country is mocking Donald Trump. And now they're calling Donald Trump piggy the way California Governor Gavin Newsom is.

0:45Donald Trump is the piggy. Let's just go through what's going down this morning. So Donald Trump posted the following. I have just gotten the highest poll numbers of my political career. While my great work on the economy has not yet been fully appreciated, it will be. Things are really rocking. Stopping wars and foreign relations seems to be a strong suit. Also great, the border and stopping crime. I predict the economy with the already highest stock market ever and prices coming sharply down from the Biden disaster will soon be at the top of the list. Make America great again. Now he's posting that when his poll numbers are at record lows, not just for him, any president in modern history.

1:32While the ceasefire in Gaza is over, Israel has been striking Gaza, killing many Palestinians there. And Hamas just responded saying that the ceasefire is done. It's over. This as prices are surging before Thanksgiving. This, as I mentioned, there is a Bitcoin and crypto crash taking place right now when Donald Trump wanted to call himself the Bitcoin and crypto president. Donald Trump then posts the following Marjorie Trader Brown because of plummeting poll numbers and not wanting to face a primary challenger with a strong Trump endorsement where she would have no chance of winning has decided to call it quits.

2:11Her relationship with the worst Republican congressman in decades, Thomas Massey, also known as Rand Paul Jr. Wow, wow, wow, did not help her. I mean, again, this is what he's posting this morning. While he's doing that, he's sending these messages to his supporters. Tariff rebate check. Ben, should I give a tariff savings back to you? I subscribe to his email so you don't have to. But I want to show you his Ponzi scheming, his scamming, his fraud. I mean, he is a two-bit con artist. Just think about this. As his supporters, like all Americans, are suffering right now, unless you're a billionaire, He's sending emails like this with photos of himself holding$100 bills and saying, this is the only tariff rebate email authorized by President Trump.

2:58Ben, would you accept a tariff rebate check signed by Trump? And while people are suffering right now, right? Like if you need money right now, maybe you click that link. But guess what it does when you click the link? It demands that you give Donald Trump money, that you donate money to Donald Trump. and he goes, please, I need you to be generous to give me money this year. Meanwhile, we'll take a look at what Donald Trump's real poll numbers are. This is how they described it on CNN, where they did a summary of the Marquette Fox, Morris, Ipsos, and AP poll. Here, play this clip. This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls, his entire second term.

3:41The numbers are just atrocious. What are we talking about here in terms of net approval rating? Well, take a look. These are all November polls. The best one of the group puts them at 14 points underwater. That's the Marquette University Law School poll, tied for the worst he's ever had in that poll. Fox, 17 points underwater. Marist, 17 points underwater. The Reuters-Ipsos poll, 22 points underwater. And then taking the cake, the AP North poll, 26 points underwater. When your best poll has you still 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater. We're talking about an average well, well, well underwater with the deep blue sea swimming with the fishes.

4:22And meanwhile, on state regime media known as Fox, they're still out there telling people, look, it's probably best that you don't do any other proteins this Thanksgiving because eating other proteins will just simply be too expensive for you. Here, play this clip. Remember, if you do want to do another protein like beef, the price is still up. It's about, I believe, five times the price that it was last year. So just keep that in mind. Maybe you're hitting the grocery store this weekend. Turkey is probably your best bet. Just stick to the one. I'll send it back to you guys. You know what I'm going to say, toe furky.

5:01There we go, Kelly. Also last night, Donald Trump made a post attacking the Somali community in Minnesota. He goes, I'm targeting the Somali community in Minnesota because everybody knows that the Somalis in Minnesota commit fraud. Look at the message that he posts and he discriminates against the Somali community. And he goes, I'm specifically revoking the temporary protected status of Somalis in Minnesota. It's like, why would you be so freaking racist and discriminatory? There's 705 Somalis on temporary protected status in Minnesota, and that status expires next year. And you want to take away their temporary protected status now?

5:48How horrific. Meanwhile, you have, take a look at what the front page covers of the New York Press state. This is the front page cover of the New York Post, and you can see the Daily News as well. The Post says, I love you, Mom Donnie. Trump bulldozes socialist Zoran with kindness in Freaky Friday Oval Office Summit. So after New York Post and all the state regime right wing media was saying, Donald Trump showdown, he's going to show Mom Donnie. Donald Trump was there like fawning over Mom Donnie, like Trump saw, like his favorite celebrity ever. That's the way Donald Trump was treating Mom Donnie.

6:26Again, as I mentioned at the outset, you take a look right now at the Bitcoin market. Over the past six months, Bitcoin has crashed nearly 25%. At some points on Friday, that number was closer to 30 % because it dipped right around$80 ,000. Right now, Bitcoin's at$84 ,746.60, a 24 to 25 % drop in the past six months. So yes, to use the terminology crash is certainly not hyperbolic at all when I'm talking about this. Now, turning to the issue of the ceasefire in Gaza, which you know from the outset, the way we've been reporting that here on the Midas Touch Network accurately, I said this was never a peace deal between Israel and Hamas that Donald Trump wanted to act like he did this historic peace deal.

7:19I said, first off, Hamas and Israel never signed the agreement. I said, Hamas never agreed to disarm. Netanyahu never agreed to a two-state solution. And so I said, how is this even a ceasefire? And there was still Israeli bombing in Gaza, killing innocent Palestinians and killing Palestinians. So I'm like, where am I missing? This isn't a ceasefire. Why is America corporate media describing it this way? Well, Israel has launched new strikes in Gaza after reported attacks against IDF troops, according to Israel and according to the reporting on the ground. So we've learned that there was at least 24 deaths and 54 injuries, including innocent children, as reported by health officials in Gaza.

8:06One attack targeted a vehicle in Gaza city, killing 11 people and injuring 20. That brings the Palestinian death toll up to 69 ,733 during Israel's retaliatory offensive. I'm just reading you how it's being described. Here, you call it mass slaughter, call it genocide. It is horrific what is taking place. Absolutely horrific. And as I've said before, I think that Netanyahu needs to absolutely go. this is despicable. But this needs to be reported that this is not at all a ceasefire. And this is, if anything, just yet another Donald Trump fraud. But it's, by the way, why I get my news from Ground News, because this stuff is being completely underreported.

8:54I have to stay up to date on the news all the time in order to do this podcast. So my biggest go-to source is Ground News. This is a subscriber funded app and news site. And every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story and then show you what the right is reporting, what the center is reporting, what the left is reporting. It's a game changer because as an active, responsible citizen, we must get our news from reliable sources. And Trump's America being informed about the facts and media bias is the most important thing you can do. But that's why we love ground news.

9:27For every article, they also tell you, did a media conglomerate put this out or was it independent media? And they also list the degree of factuality, which is interesting as there's a lot of news sources from media conglomerates that have mixed or low factuality. Independent media seems to have a higher factuality, but you get all of that with your Ground News Vantage subscription. I especially like their Blindspot feed, which highlights stories that are disproportionately covered by one side of the political spectrum. like the story I just shared to you with you about the IDF killing the innocent Palestinians not being covered at all on right-wing media.

It's just notable too that while the crypto and Bitcoin markets are crashing, this is what you had Eric Trump talking about as well. Here, play this clip. With wire transfer, you know, payment that's coming into one of the hotels or are leaving one of the hotels.

10:46And if you don't send it by four o 'clock on a Friday, it's not getting there until like Monday afternoon. And you're sitting there saying, why can I send hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin overseas instantly or receive it instantly with virtually no fees. You know, Bitcoin's a way of the future. American Bitcoin, which is the company that I founded, I'm very, very proud of. I think it's going to be one of the great Bitcoin companies anywhere in the world. And clearly, there's no doubt in my mind, cryptocurrency is going to replace traditional finance, TradFi, you know, and it's happening so fast.

11:18I mean, cryptocurrency is literally outpacing the growth of the Internet in the 90s, Charles. And I've never been so clear about something. I've never been able to see something so clearly in my life. And it's been a lot of fun to be part of this. Then we just got this news in. Hamas has reportedly told U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and other mediators that the ceasefire is over. And they intended to resume fighting against Israel in the Gaza Strip following airstrikes on Gaza and the elimination of dozens of Hamas fighters over the last few days, including a number of senior leaders by Israeli forces.

11:56And we also know, though, that innocent Palestinians have been killed as well in these strikes. And I think it's also important to report that we're learning more about these strikes in the Caribbean, the war crimes by the United States government killing people on the fishing boats. Also in the Pacific, we previously reported how the top military lawyer from Southcom, the military division that is jurisdiction of the Caribbean, the top military lawyer said that these were extrajudicial killings and war crimes. But that legal analysis was overruled by Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice. And the military said, just you got to do it.

12:37You got to do it. And they were telling people to commit these war crimes. So many war criminals in our government right now. From this Washington Post article, the White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats. The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narco traffickers. There's just so much nervousness in the office, said a second former official. The mood is we don't even know if what we're doing is legal. Well, let me be very clear. It's illegal. It's war crimes. And anybody in the chain of command committing these war crimes will be held accountable and will be put on war tribunals in the future.

13:18It is why it is your legal obligation to avoid unlawful orders. You're held to that responsibility in the military. You can't execute an unlawful order, okay? That's the state of the law. It's not a controversial topic, as we saw in the Nuremberg trials, right? That's the news for this morning. Everybody hit subscribe.
