1:06Ben Meiselas:Some terrible news for Donald Trump on the domestic and international front on Thursday. day, we learned that officially the U.S. housing market has reached its most unaffordable level in history. As Trump promised to make housing more affordable, he's done the exact opposite. Also, Donald Trump was supposed to impose sanctions on Russia and supposed to make a big announcement about giving long-range missiles to Ukraine. But now we see that Donald Trump is spending the morning speaking to Vladimir Putin. He goes, the conversation is ongoing and a lengthy one. I will report the contents, as will President Putin at its conclusion.

1:46Ben Meiselas:Thank you for your attention to this matter. Ah, we must listen to Putin reporting the contents. Ah, yes, America first. This is the MAGA Republican. Congress members have been meeting today in this past week with the ambassador from Russia, who is providing the MAGA Republicans with what Russia claims to be the true JFK files. And MAGA, we can't make this stuff up, but then the MAGA Republican Congress members are saying they believe Putin and the Kremlin and they are thankful for it. And they are planning future meetings with Russia's sovereign wealth fund delegations to discuss trade. That's what MAGA Republican Anna Paulina Luna is posting today.

2:31Ben Meiselas:Meanwhile, Apple's Tim Cook announced that Apple will be increasing its investment into China. So more investment into China. I see that Donald Trump's decoupling and trade war against China is going well. I guess Tim Cook realizes all you got to do is show up in the Oval Office and give Donald Trump a little golden orb. And then you can just do deals with China and, you know, and then hold Donald Trump at bay by stroking his ego. Meanwhile, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, their governor, Josh Shapiro, has filed a massive lawsuit against Donald Trump. this morning, Governor Shapiro writes.

3:12Ben Meiselas:As I've said time and time again, I'm an all-above-energy governor. I'm an all-of-the-above-energy governor. So today, Pennsylvania is taking legal action to stop the Trump administration from unlawfully canceling our$156 million solar for all program. The federal government awarded this funding to Pennsylvania last year to build rooftop solar on over 12 ,000 homes for low-income families, helping to lower their energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across our Commonwealth. Now is not the time to cut energy production, and I will always stand up for Pennsylvanians when the Trump administration tries to break their contracts.

3:59Ben Meiselas:That's always been Donald Trump's history. A contract breaker, a fraud, a bankruptor, even when legislation is passed to fund things, even when under the current government, Trump does rescission and just removes the things they say are in the bills, they are not to be trusted on anything. And Trump just cares about his 90 ,000 square foot ballroom, triumphant arches, UFC matches in front of the White House, golfing every weekend, And while 20 million Americans lose their health care,$40 billion is now going to Argentina. We learned that yesterday that it would be$40 billion, not just$20 billion from a bailout.

4:39Ben Meiselas:Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says there's an additional$20 billion from the United States being infused. Although, of course, the Trump regime provides zero transparency about those details. The same way the Trump regime provided zero transparency about military exercises that would be taking place in California this Saturday. Midas Touch Network first broke the story that Navy warships were intending to conduct these exercises where they could be shooting missiles, live munition rounds into Camp Pendleton in Southern California. We wrote about this first. Governor Newsom later confirmed the story to various other outlets after the Midas Touch Network first reported it.

5:26Ben Meiselas:It's believed that the I-5 highway may need to be shut down during these military exercises. There are these live munitions still taking place. There's propaganda videos going to be shot. It's taking place the same day as No Kings. The Trump regime claims that the I-5 will not need to be closed down. Although my question is, is it was never really Trump's decision to close down the I-5. The issue is one of safety. If you're shooting missiles over the highway, that could pose danger for the people driving on the highway now. Also, I saw some people saying, oh, well, this is just a regular military exercise that happens in San Diego and Camp Pendleton all the time.

6:06Ben Meiselas:No, it doesn't. They're claiming it's the 250th Marine anniversary. The Marine anniversary is actually November 10th, not October 18th. The first time I even heard rumblings that this thing could happen was last Friday. It was mentioned just ever so briefly. And then we, apparently the governor's office and the transportation department in California learned about it for the first time like yesterday and didn't have any details. So this is, stop buying the Trump's ban. Oh, this happens all the time. It's just a regular routine celebration for the Marines. No, they don't do this. They don't shoot live munitions like this into Camp Pendleton.

6:46Ben Meiselas:I want to be very clear about that. And I want to give a shout out to our fearless editorial team here at the Midas Touch Network that continues to break very big, big stories. Meanwhile, you have MAGA Mike Johnson held a disastrous press conference this morning. And he said, I don't want to be mad, Mike. I want to be happy, Mike. So Democrats, just sign on to our dirty continuing resolution where we rip away health care for 20 million Americans. You do want me to be I want to be happy, Mike. Mike is happy when he gets rid of Americans health care. Here play this clip. I don't like being mad, Mike.

7:25Ben Meiselas:I want to I want to be happy. I want to be the happy warrior. But I am so upset about this. God bless America. We're done. Thanks.

7:34Ben Meiselas:My dogs, Taquito and Chiquito, are the happiest dogs ever. You know why? Because I give them Sundays for dogs, which is, let's face it, the best dog food ever.

My doggies, Taquito and Chaquito, tell me that your doggies will love Sundays also. And then Magamike Johnson says, many of you ask, how does it end?

9:04Ben Meiselas:What's my plan to end this shutdown? He goes, I don't have one. I don't know how it ends. Then he blames Democrats. Let me explain to you how it ends, Magamike. Just extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies and protect the healthcare of millions of Americans because us Americans deserve to have health care. Just do that. And then the government opens because you're going to be killing your constituents. Here play this clip. And so many of you have asked all of us, how will it end? We have no idea. It's up to the Democrats and they have to decide it. And judging by their outrageous behavior, the Democrats appear perfectly happy to keep the political theater going while real people suffer.

9:43Ben Meiselas:And they've had this MAGA Republican Congress lady, Lisa McClain, she's been taking a more active role at these press conferences. And here she is saying that the peaceful no kings protests this weekend are hate America rallies. Here, play this clip. And now they're gearing up for their I hate America rally this weekend, a rally where they'll cheer for chaos instead of country. So take note of what goes on at that rally. Take note of how they put Americans first, really. And by the way, this was quite the Freudian slip here by Maga Mike Johnson, who said that we fought the Nazis, but we defended that evil ideology.

10:26Ben Meiselas:You defended the evil ideology. I mean, it's obviously a Freudian slip, but a revealing Freudian slip here play this clip. We have stood against that. We fought the Nazis. We defended that evil ideology. We roundly condemn it. And anybody in any party who espouses it, we're opposing that. Then we heard from Donald Trump's agriculture secretary this morning, Brooke Rollins, or as Fox refers to her as Brookie. It's what they say. These are the agriculture secretary. And the host asks her. So, you know, Americans are upset. I mean, these farmers, they're saying, why are you giving 20 billion dollar bailouts to Argentina?

11:06Ben Meiselas:or$40 billion bailouts and not helping the farmers. She goes, no, no, no, no, no. We're putting farmers first. That's how. Here, play this clip. One complaint I have to bring to your attention. Some Iowa farmers are frustrated because President Trump is putting$20 billion into Argentina to bail them out. They're worried that the administration is focusing on foreign financial aid at the expense of American farmers. Madam Secretary, what do you say to those Iowa of farmers? Well, I understand the frustration from farm country, from farm country. But what I will say is, and I live it every day, but what I will say is this, the president's focus remains 100 percent on America first, on ensuring he has the farmers in America's backs.

11:50What I've heard the president say over and over and Secretary Besson over and over is that countries like Argentina, for the sake of world peace and world stability, it's important that President Malay is able to retain its leadership position in Argentina and very, very important that Argentina continues to partner with America. That's way out of my lane. I'm more focused on slinging soybeans and making sure we're selling cotton. But the message to the farmers is the president is here. He sees you. He hears you. We're going to do everything we can to not only make sure you have that bridge from this harvest to next year's planting, but that we can move into that age where they're no longer dependent on government checks.

12:30And that's what I'm aiming to do with the president's support.

12:34Ben Meiselas:Slinging soybeans. I didn't know that's what you did with soybeans, but I'll take you. And then, of course, she has to blame former President Biden for why the farmers need bailouts today. She's like, of course it's their fault. It's Biden's fault. That's why. What are you talking about? It's Trump's policies that, like, whoa, everything's Biden, Biden, Biden. Trump's the president, unfortunately. and he screwed the farmers with the trade war against the world and with his tariffs. Everybody knows that. It's not really a complicated one. Secretary Rollins, here, play this clip. These are row croppers.

13:06So soybeans, sorghum, wheat, corn, cotton, everyone that really is currently caught in the crosshairs. But let's be very clear. This is a result of no new trade deals under Joe Biden. This is a result of going from an agriculture trade surplus under Trump one to a huge ag deficit after four years of Biden. And really the real culprit here is the cost of inputs that skyrocketed under the Biden years, 73 % in interest, 47 % in labor, 36 % increase in fertilizer and farm equipment. These are all things that we're targeted, we're working on. So while the package is a little bit of a bridge from the Biden years to the golden age of Trump, we're also working to ensure we're bringing down all those costs of input.

13:49We can't afford to lose any more farms in this country.

13:52Ben Meiselas:Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. That's what the MAGA Republican Congress members are doing this morning. We'll keep you posted every step of... Oh, let me... Yeah, I was going to show you one more clip, but it's more of these MAGA nonsense. You get the point. But hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Thank you so much for watching.
