The day began with Donald Trump crashing the markets after imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. It concluded with Donald Trump giving the worst joint session speech in American history. And right before he gave that speech, he gave his old buddy Chief Justice John Roberts a pat on the back saying thank you, thank you. I won't forget what you did, John. Take a look at this. Remember, Chief Justice John Roberts issued the ruling that gave Donald Trump absolute immunity so he could escape criminal accountability. Look at the raw corruption after Donald Trump crashed our markets earlier in the day just to watch it.

Donald Trump
Thank you again. Thank you again once again. So good. So good, sir.

Man Chief Justice John Roberts will go down as the most pathetic Chief justice in American history. And that's saying something. So as we said on the Midas Touch account, is this what they all meant by the red wave? The stock market is down or the Dow Jones is down over 2,000 points, close to 5% in the last month alone. Looking awfully like Donald Trump's stocks and his companies that went bankrupt as former Congressmember Adam Kinzinger was a Republican posted this meme. Listen up liberals. As Donald Trump Crashes the economy. But look, listen to what the Wall Street Journal is saying. These, this is four different articles from the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Here are the headlines. How uncertainty from Trump's tariff is rippling through the economy. Trump's tariffs cause chaos in auto industry. The two headed monster stalking the economy has a name. Stagflation tariffs have stoked fears of a dreary combination of weak growth and inflation. You know, the Atlanta Federal Reserve believes there will be negative 3% GDP in the first quarter when if Donald Trump just did nothing and let former President Biden's economy go on auto drive, literally do nothing, the expectation was that the growth would be 3 to 4%. Not a contraction, not minus 3 to 4%. Oh, and here's the other headline from the Wall Street Journal from yesterday. This is a Murdoch owned property. This tilts conservative tariff war risks sinking world into Great Depression. International Chamber of Commerce warns the world economy could face crash similar to the Great depression of the 1930s. And by the way, it wasn't like Donald Trump assuaged the fears last night. He said tariffs. There's going to be a little bit of a disturbance. There'll be a disturbance, but we're okay with disturbances, right? Everybody's okay with disturbances. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump
They're about protecting the soul of our country. Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again. And it's happening and it will happen rather quickly. There'll be a little disturbance, but we're okay with that. It won't be much. No, you're not. Oh.

Everybody'S okay with disturbances. Look, we did tell you that he and Elon Musk said that they wanted to inflict hardship upon Americans. They said they wanted to break it down, kind of crash it down. And then they said they would build it back up once they took the whole system down. I mean that's actually what they said they wanted to do. Listen to what he says here in the joint session from last night. Donald Trump says to Speaker Maga Mike Johnson, get rid of the CHIPS Act. Get rid of anything left of the CHIPS Act. Just to remind you, the CHIPS act was a bipartisan piece of legislation that was signed into law by former President Biden that invested over $50 billion in the semiconductor industry in the United States and created hundreds of thousands of jobs. Red states, blue states, ruby red areas led to a manufacturing boom that Trump is destroying. Listen to him. Listen to him.
- [05:59]
Donald Trump
You should get rid of the CHIP act and whatever's left over, Mr. Speaker, you should use it to reduce debt or any other reason you want to.

And look for Donald Trump who said that he's going to stop World War 3 from Remember Donald, I'll stop World War 3. There's no World War 3. In fact, America's alliances were stronger than ever under former President Biden. NATO was stronger than ever. But now look at what the Chinese embassy in the U.S. posted. This is the Chinese embassy in the U.S. they're seeing how weak Donald Trump is. This is their post. If war is what the US Wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we're ready to fight until the end. That's the Chinese embassy in the US Saying any type of war, we're ready to fight until the end. Let's go from China, let's go to the United Kingdom, where the Daily Star has on its front cover this photo of J.D. vance, Trump deputies vile slur on Brit heroes. Vance slams us the incredible brave United Kingdom armed forces who had valiantly fought in many, many wars. As a random country who hasn't fought a war in 40 years. You see Donald in the background, these like little babies, these people, Donald and JD. But 636 of our troops died in Afghanistan and Iraq fighting alongside the U.S. i mean, you have J.D. vance and Donald Trump attacking our closest allies like the uk, Like Canada, like Mexico. You know, Canada and UK fought by the US Side all of the time. Prime Minister Trudeau posted the following yesterday, the moment the US Tariffs came into effect, so did the Canadian response. Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion of products, starting with $30 billion worth of goods. Then the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford posted, Canada and Ontario didn't start this trade war, but Team Canada is ready to win it. As a first step in our response, Ontario will rip up our contract with Starlink, take US alcohol off of LCBO's shelves. They're the biggest purchaser of alcohol. And ban US companies from government procurements that sent the United States stock market into the crash yesterday. And then Howard Lutnick, Trump's Commerce Secretary, called up Doug Ford and others to beg them, please don't be mean to the U.S. donald, could we just make up a fake deal again to give. Just don't be rude to Donald. Just, just pretend you like him. And Doug Ford said, now you punched us, you gut punched your ally and now we're gut punching you back. Canada was prepared and ready for this. They outmaneuvered the U.S. canada's going to have economic difficulties. But as We've been saying on this podcast and on this YouTube channel, they prepared in Canada and all of a sudden the US like, oh, what? They did this? They retaliated? Yeah, we said they were going to do it. They said they were going to do it, and good for them. This ridiculous, idiotic Trump regime is driving the United States into the ground. Take a look at this poll from Civics. How would you rate the condition of the national economy right now? Negative. 38, 65% of Americans say the economy is very bad or fairly bad right now. But, you know, the magazine focused on all the important things on people's minds, like they're fighting with themselves over the release of the Epstein files. Right. We know that Donald Trump was like Epstein's close friend. And so we told you Trump never wanted the Epstein files released. But for some reason, the magazine were like, we're gonna release it. Like, Trump's like, nah, can you not release it? Like, like, he kind of like, trafficked the girls from Mar a Lago. Like, Virginia Giuffre and I kind of was friends with them and Ghislaine Maxwell, like, I mean, right? So here was the reporting yesterday from abc. New Attorney General Bondi blindsided the White House by handing out the Epstein file binders to MAGA influencers last week. Bondi told staff not to tell the White House the plan, apparently thinking the surprise would be well received. Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise. I mean, they're idiotic. Goes, go look at the photos. Go look at the photos. Trump said that Epstein's a great guy who likes women. On the younger side, Donald Trump held beauty pageants where he said that he looks at the women naked without their consent because as the owner of beauty pageants, they let you do it. Donald Trump held beauty pageants with teenage girl, like 12 year old girls, 13 girls, younger than teenagers. Trump was photographed on these boats with these young girls. The whole thing is, like, disgusting. It's disgusting. Trump, Trump found liable for sexual assault. What are we talking about here? He's on audio bragging about him. But folks, MAGA Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace focused on the important things like this. Women want someone who will go to battle for them. I am your lion. Hear me roar. As our Editor in Chief, Ron Philipkowski goes, that's a male lion. That's not a lioness. So for someone fixated on women, she picked a lion. A male, not a lioness. The cosplay continued yesterday. Yesterday, a new outfit was unlocked. Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, she does all this, like, cosplay dress up. Sometimes she's a cowgirl and then sometimes she's SWAT team. And then here she is. Here she is in Arlington, Virginia. This is cosplaying in Arlington, Virginia, like, you know, five, 10 miles outside of D.C. proper. The whole thing is ridiculous. Oh, and then you have MAGA Republican Congressmember like Brandon Gill. Intro this is real. They introduced the golden act to put Trump's face on the $100 bill. Alina Haba, Trump's top advisor, saying that veterans who have been fired from government jobs are not good workers and the veterans deserve to be fired. Let's play it. Starting to think about maybe some of those veterans who worked for federal government and maybe what the administration can do to at least help salvage their lives.

Alina Haba
Well, as you know, we care about veterans tremendously. I mean, that's something the president has always cared about. Anybody in blue, Anybody that serves this country. But at the same time, we have taxpayer dollars. We have a fiscal responsibility to use taxpayer dollars to pay people that actually work. That doesn't mean that we forget our veterans by any means. We are going to care for them in the right way. But perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment, are not willing to come to work and we can't. You know, I wouldn't take money from you and pay somebody and say, sorry, you know, they're not going to come to work. It's just not acceptable.

And then finally, here you have Donald Trump blaming everything on former President Biden, Joe Biden, especially.
- [13:46]
Donald Trump
Let the price of eggs get out of control. The egg price is out of control and we're working hard to get it back down. Secretary, do a good job on that. You inherited a total mess from the previous administration. Do a.

But of course, Donald Trump has to end with the fundraising blitz. I'm launching an ultra MAGA fundraising blitz, he says, because the Democrats are watching our numbers like hawks ready to pounce. If we don't shatter records in the hours before my address to the nation, they'll be claiming victory. Oh, victory. Over. What the hell are you fundraising for? What are you doing? Election's over. You have to. As you destroy the economy, as you pummel your supporters to the ground, as you take away their Medicaid, you're doing a fundraising blitz to take their remaining dollars. You pathetic grifter, you. You the most despicable person ever. Wow. Wow, wow. Anyway, everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to 5 million subscribers. Thanks for watching.
