Trump Suffers Bad at Home During Monday Middle East Trip

0:28Donald Trump is in the Middle East today. member.

0:38Then Donald Trump met with Egypt's president and he spoke there. Egypt's leader, Donald Trump praised him for Egypt being essentially a better place than governors in the United States and Egypt being better than the U.S. What a horrific thing to say overseas. Here play this clip.

1:28but they don't have crime. I ask about crime and they almost don't even know what I'm talking about. So it's a great tribute to this man. He's done a fantastic job in bringing this country together. And while Donald Trump was in the Middle East, he was meeting with people like one of the leaders of the United Arab Emirates. You see here Donald Trump shaking his hand very bizarrely and then saying, this guy, he's got a lot of cash. It should be noted the United Arab Emirates gave Donald Trump's family business about$2 billion, and then Trump handed over secret semiconductor chip technology to the United Arab Emirates.

2:06Just watch this weird interaction as Trump looks at one of the heads of the UAE delegation and says, they got a lot of cash. They got a lot of cash. How bizarre. Here, play this clip.

2:26Then Donald Trump continued to praise Egypt, said Egypt is doing very well. They have no crime. I guess Egypt is the model for what Donald Trump wants to turn the United States into. Watch Donald Trump next to the leader of Egypt here play this clip. There's a lot of respect and I think you'll see some tremendous progress both in the Middle East. This country is doing very well. It has good leadership. It's about leadership and it's really nice when you say how is your crime situation? And they like don't even know what you're talking about. What do you mean crime? We don't have crime because if he has crime he puts it out very quickly Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great because people don't want to be mugged and smashed and They don't want to be stupid people.

3:15They have a place that is Doing very well. We're very proud of it because we knew each other from the beginning The first time I met, it was in a hotel and I was going to meet him. And then Hillary Clinton was following me. Remember Hillary Clinton? And he liked me so much, he never even got to see Hillary. He saw her for about two seconds. But he didn't really want to waste a lot of time. He knew what was going to happen. But that was the first time we met. And we had a very good chemistry together. And it continues till today. So I want to thank. While that was taking place, you had Donald Trump's cabinet members saying really false and horrible things about the No Kings protests, which are scheduled for October 18th.

4:02They are really terrified about these peaceful protests, which will be the largest mass mobilization in the history of the United States. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, for example, says that the No Kings protest means no paychecks. No kings equals no paychecks. Just like just straight up dictator propaganda. No kings, no paycheck. Here, play this clip. It's in fact they are waiting for this no kings protest. No kings means no paychecks, no paychecks and no government. And Maria, I think the dirty secret here for why this has dragged on for so long is the Democratic friends in the mainstream media have been downplaying the shutdown.

4:47And this is getting serious. It's starting to affect the real economy. It's starting to affect people's lives. Then, just so you see that this was the message being pushed again. I did a whole video on this this weekend. This is the message being pushed on Monday. You had the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, says, you know, Maria, he's on Fox. He goes, he's on state regime media. He goes, there's no King's protest, Maria. It's really frustrating. It's all part of Antifa. It's all part of Antifa. As our friend Matt Gertz says, the administration's target isn't Antifa. It is dissent. Here, play this clip.

5:23But again, the No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. I mean, this is part of Antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it. But yeah, Democrats want to wait for a big rally of a No Kings protest when the bottom line is who's running the show in the Senate. Chuck Schumer's not running the show. The No Kings protesters or organizers are running the show. Is AOC threatening a primary against Chuck Schumer? Is she running the show? But you need a strong leader in the Senate to take control and make decisions. And Chuck Schumer's blown in the breeze. He has no power, no authority because he's given it up to his primary opponent, potentially an AOC or to the No Kings protesters.

6:05And it's shameful. Now, as millions of Americans are having their health care ripped away, as millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, unsure if they'll be able to pay their rent, can't afford education, can't afford a basic quality of standard of living at all right now. Treasury Secretary Sean Duffy, sorry, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a new initiative that they're very much focused on. we are going to have long-term stays on the south pole of the moon to extract the fission power there okay okay sean okay sure sure sure jan play this clip but explain the moon why you believe you can and the united states can beat china back to the moon you say you want to start a a base on the moon?

7:00Yeah, we do. So first off, we're going to go back at the first part of next year, four astronauts going out to the moon and around it and coming back, right? That's the first time in 54 years we will have done that. That's Artemis II. Artemis III, a little over a year, year and a half after that, we're going back to the moon and going to land. At the south pole of the moon, you have ice. Ice is water. Ice is oxygen. Ice is life. So if we go to the South Pole of the moon, we can set up a base. We want to put in fission power. And we think we can have long-term stays on the South Pole of the moon.

7:40While that was taking place, you had Maga Mike Johnson this morning. And Maga Mike was asked by reporters, you know, why do you keep having the Republican Congress members stay away from Washington, D.C. and just go on vacation. Watch what Maggie Mike says. Let's play it. This week, it will have been a month since the House has been out. Why are you keeping the House out if you have a lot of other work to do? Are you saying that you can't work on appropriations and other things while the government is shut down? And what do you say to Republicans in your own conference who say we're critical of the strategy of keeping the House out?

8:16I've heard I've heard a criticism from, I think, three members on our conference call. And since our conference calls leak and they're always spun, that's the fact. You can poll individual House Republicans, maybe you should, and 98.7 % of them will tell you that this is the right thing. Why? It's what you just said is the opposite of what I've said. We are working on appropriations. That work has been done in earnest. The next package of bills is being prepared. Appropriators are talking not just Republicans and Democrats, but across the aisle on that. And we can move all that forward right now.

8:52The House Republicans, I don't know what the Democrats are doing, but the House Republicans have been very busy. They're doing some of their best work in the district, helping their constituents navigate the, this crisis that's been created by Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, the Schumer shutdown. It causes real pain for real people, veterans, the elderly people who rely upon these services, our rural hospitals that have been struggling. Our members are out helping them to access the rural hospital fund that we created and that the president signed in law on July 4th that no Democrats assisted on.

9:22Chuck Schumer wants to take those funds away. They're trying to make sure that the rural hospitals can access them because they know that this effort is underway. And so our members are doing very productive work. We're in constant communication with them, and we are ready to come back and continue the work in our committees and everything on the House floor. We will return to legislative session as soon as the Democrats come to their senses and open the government. That is a necessity so that the work can continue and the people, the members of Congress can do their jobs. And that's what we will do.

9:49That's our commitment. It always has been. This has to stop. We're on day 13. This should end tomorrow. The Democrats in the Senate's next opportunity to end this, to change this and vote yes and reopen the government will be tomorrow. And I pray that they will do the right thing. And then we'll all get together and have our partisan disputes and discussions on all the issues that remain on the table for the end of the year. We're doing our work behind the scenes. We're preparing for that moment and we can't wait for it to happen. So the question is for the Democrats. When will Congress get going again?

You told your members don't show up, don't talk to Democrats, yet alone negotiate with Democrats, have no contact. Just a very Trumpian way of dealing with things and a very, it's why we're here as people's healthcare premiums are about to rise to levels that is just going to make it so people don't have healthcare at all. So a reporter asked the question that I've been saying right over and over again to Meg and Mike, which is, so do you support repealing Obamacare? What's your healthcare plan?

12:17If you don't want to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies now, and you said you're working on a plan. What is that plan? And watch this word salad by Maga Mike. To me, this is probably the most important clip about what's going on with the government shutdown because the Republicans have no plan. They just want to rip away people's health care. If they could come up with a plan that's better than Obamacare. By the way, I support personally me. I support universal health care. I think it should be free to every American. I think health care is a human right that Americans should have Americans pay enough taxes as it is.

12:54It should be free. And I think you should tax really rich people more money to make sure we all afford health care. That's my view. Separately, there's Obamacare. Keep the prices a little bit lower with Affordable Care Act subsidies. Still, the prices are not low. It's still a problem. But people have health care and you could subsidize it. So what's your plan? Come up with something. Watch what Mag and Mike says. He's upset that John McCain saved the Affordable Care Act in 2017. That's what he says here. Here play this clip. President Obama, you've been very critical in recent days of Obamacare.

13:24Some of your members have called for repealing it. Do you support repealing Obamacare? And what's your health care? We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. You remember that John McCain famously did the thumbs down and effectively by a one vote margin, the whole effort was defeated. It's a great frustration of mine and has always been of President Trump's. And we know that American health care needs dramatic reform. Let's just state it simply. Obamacare failed the American people. It was promised to be a great success, to make health care more affordable.

14:04It's done exactly the opposite. And it has been pointed out by everyone that since Obamacare was created in 2010, premiums, the cost of health care have risen exponentially. It's skyrocketed. to the point where it's no longer affordable for so many Americans. And the access to care has been reduced, and the quality of care in some regions of the country has been reduced. We have to reverse all of that, and we have plans to do it. The Republican Party is the party that has plans to fix it. Can we completely repeal and replace Obamacare? Many of us are skeptical about that now because the roots are so deep.

14:41It was really sinister, in my view, the way it was created. I believe Obamacare was created to implode upon itself, to collapse upon itself. I think the people who drafted that, the architects of it, knew that it would not be sustainable because their objective was ultimately a single-payer system. They wanted full government control of health care. That's a terrifying prospect for those of us who believe in low-cost, high-quality care. And so we have lots of ideas on how to fix it. But it is very, very complicated. It involves a big percentage of the U.S. economy. Health care is entwined with somewhere, I think it's 15 percent of the U.S.

15:16economy is the health care system. And you can't just rip it out at the roots and start over. It's a very, very complicated series of measures and steps you have to take to fix it. Now, it takes a long time to build consensus and a legislative body to do those kinds of things. And we have lots of plans on the table. We have whole caucuses who work on this around the clock all the time. When I was the chair of the Republican Study Committee, which is the largest caucus of conservatives in Congress, back in the 117th Congress, we drafted a book this thick. We worked on it for almost a year. And we had a prescription for how to lower cost of care, make the quality higher, and make accessibility greater.

16:05And so we have formulated all these ideas. But we've got to build a consensus to do that. And we were in the process of that. And then a reporter asks Mag and Mike, you know, with these mass layoffs of government employees that Donald Trump is doing, he's not just furloughing federal employees. He's using the shutdown to fire federal employees. So now they're firing all of these people who are working at special education services. What's your response to the fact that that's who you're firing first? Special education services? Here, play this clip. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs, so we're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at the special education services.

16:43Are you comfortable with those cuts? I haven't seen the specifics of that, and I don't know. I do know that each of the cabinet secretaries were asked to assist OMB to determine what the most essential programs are and what the priorities are for the policies and all of that. And I've been so busy on all this, I've not had a chance to dig into the details of each division and how it's happened. I know that HHS, for example, has cut some programs, but they were effectively all agencies in a triage situation. because remember Chuck Schumer and the Democrats turned off the funding for all these things that everybody cares about.

17:19And so the the executive branch, the Office of Management Budget, has to determine what are the most efficient and effective programs. It's a difficult task. It's not one that they relish. They don't want to do it. Listen to the president's own words and Russ Vogt's own words and everybody who's involved. They want the government to be opened. They're begging Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. That's how to make all this stop. They want this to end immediately. And they wanted it to end before it started. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant continued to go on Fox this morning. And he says, you know, the Chinese have turned our soybean farmers into pawns.

17:54Well, it's because you declared a trade war against them and you now have a failed trade war. Here, play this clip. And look, yesterday was National Farmers Day. This administration wants to do something for farmers you know china has chosen to decouple the on the ag side which just tells you you know the other thing that the president trump and everyone in the cabinet is working on is food security but the chinese have unfortunately turned our soybean farmers into pawns uh they're trying to manipulate them and our farmers overwhelmingly back president trump they know that he has their back and we can't implement the programs.

18:36We want to stabilize the farmers finances. We want to use the Farm Credit Bureau to give them the credit for next year's plannings. But they want to cater to the radical left. As I call them, the two guys from Brooklyn, the Schumers and Jeffries, they don't care about the farmers. All they care about are their jobs. I read the other day. Just reprehensible behavior by Donald Trump here while he's in front of the Israeli Nesset attacking former President Biden and former President Obama. It should be noted that Donald Trump had previously told Netanyahu, do not do any deals at all with Hamas. Do not do peace deals until the election is over.

19:18Trump was one of the people who meddled and said it would be a winning issue for me if there was not resolution. solution uh so do not help biden in any way which potentially prolong the atrocities taking place in gaza but here's donald trump in front of the israeli neset play this clip i would say november 5th was a time that we became really hot but once you go back a couple of years uh if i were in charge and the country was doing what they would nobody was going to ask me to speak nobody asked joe biden to come up and speak i guarantee you that and if they did he would have turned them down, I promise you.

19:52He didn't speak. He didn't speak and he didn't speak well. But all of the countries in the Middle East, it could have what we what we're doing now, it could have happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden. It was there was a hatred toward Israel. It was an absolute hatred. And then finally, you have Donald Trump shaking hands here with Vladimir Putin's buddy, Viktor Orban. And you can see what great friends they are right here. And this is not something that is helpful in terms of peace in Ukraine. But let's play a little bit right here.
