Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:03That scene you just saw there was Ukraine using its air defense systems to shoot down a Russian ballistic missile and Russian drones before they killed innocent civilians in Ukraine. I often start these videos reminding you of what's happening in Ukraine to pay tribute to the bravery of the people there. It's also to remind us that Donald Trump promised that he would end the war in 24 hours, and now he claims that he was just joking and being sarcastic about that. with so many things, Donald Trump is just an absolute fraud. And this is yet another example of that. Now, by now, I'm sure you know that Donald Trump was booed at the Washington Commanders game, the NFL game, where they had Donald Trump try to kind of give a tribute to members of the military and swear in members of the military during an NFL game because they figured, How could he get booed if he was doing that?
1:03So Trump once again trying to steal the valor of troops in order to try to get some applause so they could say, look, people were clapping for Donald Trump in their propaganda videos. Like the whole crowd, like 80 ,000 plus people booing Donald Trump. And you can see in his face, it was making him nervous. It was making him scared to really see what the people think about him. More on that in a moment. I showed you him getting booed, so I just want to talk about some other topics, but I'll go back to that in just a moment. Throughout the day, Donald Trump's been posting things like this. This is a real post from his social media account.
1:42The main entrance to the new ballroom at the White House, and he draws like an arrow to what the ballroom is going to look like. Also, at Mar-a-Lago, they were serving at a party that they were doing this weekend that Midas Touch extensively covered grilled skirt steak salad. That's actually what was being served aboard Air Force One, rather, as he was landing where they had those massively expensive crab claws that were laid out during this bizarre party. Last week, there were half-naked women in martini glasses. This weekend, again, half-naked women doing synchronized swimming routines. And I don't know, people were bidding on$64 ,000 vacations to Thailand.
2:30What the hell is going on there? Well, all of that was taking place. Donald Trump was making social media posts like this. He goes, wow. And then he posts this, breaking news, Doge halts yearly payment of$2.5 million to Barack Obama for royalties linked to Obamacare. Obama has collected this payment since 2010 for a total of$40 million in taxpayer dollars. What the hell? Does Doge even exist anymore? What do you mean Obama's getting royalties for Obamacare? What the hell is this? Well, it actually comes from a satirical website, and in the About Us section of that website, it says, everything on this website is fiction and false.
3:19If you believe anything we write here is real, you should have your head examined. Donald Trump did get an MRI recently, although he claims it was part of his routine checkup, while we all know that MRIs are not given for routine checkups, and we've obviously seen all of Donald Trump's cognitive issues, but he's literally posting a satirical, completely false article about Obama making royalties from Obamacare. I mean, this is such an unserious, ridiculous human being. I don't know how much other words I can use to describe what a vile piece of trash Donald Trump is, what an unserious and despicable and laughable and just overall grotesque creature that he is, destroying our country every day.
4:07And the fact that somehow there are still tens of millions of people, although he's losing lots of his support, look at this guy and they're like, oh, that's my guy. Like, dude, this guy freaking hates you. He's out there in Mar-a-Lago, like enriching himself while screwing you over, while destroying your lives. I want to point this out as well. I don't think this gets enough attention. And like when I interviewed Bernie Sanders, Senator Sanders, he told me, he goes, Ben, The most important issues are often the issues being discussed the least out there. And you know, one of the issues that Bernie Sanders discusses a lot, and I discuss here on the Midas Touch Network, is these data centers that are being built across the country, which are taking up so much energy.
4:52They're causing energy costs to skyrocket. And they're also just destroying these local areas. And then, of course, there's the concomitant job losses coming from AI or just even the pretext, the excuse that corporations say, well, because of AI, that's why we're not hiring people. Here's an article, recent article from The Atlantic. Here's how the AI crash happens. So when all of the data centers, take a look at this area, in New Carlisle are built, they will demand more power than two Atlantas. All of Atlanta, a whole other Atlanta, that's what these data centers take up in energy and who's paying them?
5:36Who's paying those costs? Ultimately, the burden falls a lot on us, the consumers. That's why our electricity prices are being raised and a number of other inflationary reasons. So I told you I would go back to Donald Trump getting booed. I always like to see him getting booed. And I think it's a good indicator of what's taking place. But just to remind you what Donald Trump was doing, he was like providing like the worst commentary during this NFL football game. And by like the worst commentary, he was saying, this is going to be a huge play. And it was like, he's got a big play coming up. It was like second and seven.
6:14Like he doesn't even know the way football works. And then he like started reading the names of military people at the game. Be like, why is this guy talking? What the hell is this guy doing? Watch what went down once he got booed. Here, play this clip.
6:55And here he is getting booed from another angle. I'll show you him getting booed more. We like to see him getting booed. I know. Here, play this clip.
7:35Okay, now let's talk about some of his conduct as well, his reprehensive, repulsive behavior. So the feds, Border Patrol ICE, are now ordering faith leaders that they are not allowed to pray outside of the private prison facilities and ICE facilities. For example, the Broadview facility in Chicago. They're saying, faith leaders, you can't be there or else we're going to shoot you. Like they've been shooting them like in the face with serious, very painful, non-lethal rounds. In a possible violation of the First Amendment, federal officials instructed demonstrators, you may not hold religious gatherings outside the immigration processing facility in suburban Broadview after faith leaders were denied entry to the building for the third time on Friday.
8:28So like, do y 'all see how phony these freaking frauds are with their religion? They hold the Bible up. We just want to be able to pray in school. Remember the Supreme Court case? We want the teacher to be able to pray during the actual high school football game. That's all we're going to ask for. Then they ask for more and more and more and more. There shouldn't be a separation of church and state at all? There doesn't exist. We need to have the 10 commandments up at the school. Okay. Well, these religious leaders, Catholic priests, other Christian leaders, other faith leaders in general, they would like to pray outside in the public, not like the government doing it, right?
9:16Which is what they want, which is what these MAGA Republicans want schools to do. They just want to be able to pray outside for the people suffering inside. Nope. We're banning religious prayer. We're banning religious prayer. Do you see how phony these people are with everything? It's just one big fraud ring, right? It's why I start at the beginning, you know, showing you the Ukraine video also, because Trump promised on day one that he would end the war. Everything this guy says is a lie. I brought in$22 trillion. It's a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. By the way, at Mar-a-Lago, I kid you not, he forces the people at Mar-a-Lago to watch a movie on replay saying that he won the 2020 election.
10:01I'll just show you like 15 seconds of it, but this plays in loop in Mar-a-Lago. It's like crazy people. You're playing this clip.
10:24And while he was doing that, he issued a pardon late last night for Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Christina Bob, Boris Epstein, and dozens of the false GOP electors and other key figures involved in his effort to overturn the 2020 elections, per his pardon attorney, Ed Martin. Again, this is what he did last night. Every day, this guy is lawless, unhinged. I'll show you this right here as well, because I think it's really important to see. This right here is in Texas, just so you see what ICE is doing there, rounding up migrants who are working on construction projects. Just show like 11 seconds of this, because I'll do a longer video on what ICE is doing.
11:11This is in Texas. And ICE agents are just destroying construction right now. Like if you're in construction, you know how important labor for migrants are and how valuable these workers are. And I mean, I believe there should be a pathway to citizenship for these workers. I believe they should be paid more money. Let me be clear about my position. And the Trump regime is one of the reasons why construction's in a recession right now. People are terrified to work on these projects. Watch what ICE is doing here. Here, play this clip as ICE goes to construction sites and arrests hardworking migrants.
11:45Here, play this clip.
11:58And then finally, with everything I just shared with you, I did a video on this last night, how livid I am of these eight Democrats who just totally betrayed the American people and voted with the Republicans to do a government shutdown deal. It's absolutely despicable behavior. And I've called these Democrats out. I've listed their names and I'm just so, I couldn't be angrier at these. I couldn't be angry at them. So let me just list their names one more time so you can see it for yourself. Tim Kaine, Dick Durbin, Fetterman, Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Angus King, Cortez Masto, Jackie Rosen. I had some of these people on the show in the past few weeks and they said they would never do this.
12:42The ultimate betrayal. I'm selling out 20 million American, 20 plus million Americans on healthcare. Their affordable care subseas are going to skyrocket. And by the way, on Sunday night, the first circuit court of appeals finally issued that ruling that the Supreme Court was waiting on, ordering that Trump make the snap payments. So, I mean, why would these eight Democrats fold and be so weak? I think if there's any silver lining, and I talked about this in the other video, that these people need to just go away. And it's upon us to elect real leaders who are fighting for the people. And it's why I always say with this network, number one is about your values and principles and fighting for the people.
13:30Like I believe in free healthcare. I believe in universal healthcare. I believe in free education. I believe that Americans who work a job should be paid a living wage, actually a wage with dignity where they can afford a home. I believe the rich should be taxed more. you know that that to me is more important i can go on and on um i i believe that uh i believe that obviously women's reproductive rights are sacrosanct and there should never be government involvement i could go lead with the values lead with the values as opposed to what's the party gonna do lead with the values and let's see who our fighters are governor newsom's out there fighting.
14:13Bernie Sanders is out there fighting. AOC is out there fighting. Jasmine Crockett's out there fighting. Gallego's out there fighting. Murphy's out there fighting. Swalwell's out there. I mean, there's so many people out there. I could go on in this list, you know, a ton of people. Mikey Sherrill's out there fighting. Zoran's fighting. You could fight in different ways out there. You know, fight for the people. Fight for the people. Connect with the people. Hear what the people are going through. Listen to what people are saying, how people are psychologically tortured living paycheck to paycheck right now.
14:47Right? Address the people's needs. That's what Tuesday was about. That's what last Tuesday was about, the blue tsunami. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching.
