Com when you wake up in the Trump regime and you see headlines like this this morning. Worst consumer confidence since November 2022 and the Atlanta Federal Reserv predicts a negative 2.8% GDP, so a 2.8% contraction. You see headlines like this Chinese, China's President Xi wu's global business leaders as Trump intensifies trade war cause let me show you the effect. Let me show you the outcome here. Donald Trump is panicked. He's posting the following. I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada. It was an extremely productive call. We agree on many things and we will be meeting immediately after Canada, Canada's upcoming election, to work on elements of politics, business and all other factors that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Explanation point. So there's really no mention there of 51st state, no calling Prime Minister Carney a governor, no attack on Canada there because when you show strength to Donald Trump and you push him into a corner like a little cornered rat, by the way, no offense to cornered rats. Trump is a weak and pathetic individual who backs down like that and Canada is showing strength. What Canada should realize though is that Donald Trump in his chameleon like ways, he'll then say what needs to be said to try to then reindeer himself to you and then he will try to screw you over again. And so that's what we see from Donald Trump as he kind of shows weakness. He goes through strength to whining to victimhood. So be very, very careful of it. But you can see what a cornered rat he is. Again, no offense to cor rats. Take a look at this chart right here because we're getting this data this morning from the University of Michigan Consumer expectations. Heather Long, a very well known and respected economist, says the following this is one of the scariest charts I've seen in a while. When Americans are asked, do you think your financial situation will be better off in a year? They increasingly say no. In the Vibe session under former President Biden, people gave the economy poor grades, but they were generally optimistic about their personal finances, especially the rich. Under Trump 2025, people at all income levels are worried that they will be worse off in a year. This is the type of situation that causes people to really pull back on spending. This is what is different than 2023 or 2024. She also posts the following A huge drop in consumer sentiment among all income groups. Wow. Even the rich are worried now. Sentiment is down more than 30% since November. People are worried they their jobs. Two thirds of consumers expect unemployment to rise in the year ahead. This is the highest concern since 2009, a great recession. People are fearful tariffs will drive up prices. Even high income consumers are concerned about their personal finances. Only 26% of higher income consumers expect to be better off financially in a year, down from 42% in August 2024. Donald Trump is panicking for a lot of reasons this morning as well. He continues to lose in the federal courts. As we reported recently, the D.C. circuit Court of Appeals upheld Federal Judge Boseberg's ruling stopping Donald Trump from kidnapping migrants in the United States and not providing them any process and then shipping them to concentration camps in El Salvador and then making ISIS style videos of the brutality inflicted on the individuals in the concentration camp. Right. We've been sharing you stories of individuals who were here lawfully from Venezuela, asylum seekers who had court appearances coming up, who never engaged in any crimes in Venezuela or here. These were people who were bakers, hairstylists, soccer coaches. They had tattoos and as a result the Trump regime said they're trend Iraqwa gang members, they're terrorists, they're enemy combatants. Off you go to concentration camps, never to be heard from again, perhaps for the rest of their life. Dying in the El Salvador concentration camp system. And then the Trump regime makes cartoons and mocks those individuals. And what we just saw happen this morning, the Trump regime went to the United States Supreme Court right away and said hey, you have to overTurn what the D.C. circuit Court of Appeals and what the federal court has done here. Here is what the Trump regime has said. As Kyle Cheney says, the Trump administration uses its petition to vent about courts and joining his policies on a fairly regular basis. You see when you break the law, you're going to have a lot of court rulings against you. Trump's adversaries and some judges have said this is a reaction to the unprecedented assertions of executive power Trump has mounted since taking office. Yeah, I mean, that would mean that Trump has violated the law over and over again. And when you don't provide people due process and we learn stories about, say, you know, a gay hairstylist from Venezuela who's not a gang member who fled and is a political exile and is now in a concentration camp, or the soccer coach who had the Real Madrid tattoo, that starts to cause serious concerns, especially when you're kidnapping human beings and sending them to concentration camps.

Political Commentator
But for all the law and order bluster, remember we've been reporting on how the Trump regime. Remember, all during the election, we would. We would report on all these stunts of the Trump regime. Oh, and they would have. Remember, they had, like, the rapper Chef G in the Bronx. Remember, Trump did this event in the Bronx, and he was trying to get the black vote. So he had Chef G, who had, like, a grill on his teeth. Um, and then so Trump could say, you see, look, black people like me, so black people should vote for me. Look, this guy, Chef G, this rapper likes me, so therefore I'm good to the black community. That was basically Trump's pitch. Well, this morning, that New York rapper Chev G, who joined Trump at the campaign rally, pled guilty to attempted murder. Uh, he's a gang member. And he pled guilty to paying other gang members to go out and kill people from rival gangs. Remember how I was like, why isn't any corporate media talking about that? Trump literally has, like, actual gang members who kill people on stage, and they're just treating it like that's normal behavior. Right. And isn't it interesting that Donald Trump is kidnapping people who are not gang members and sending them to concentration camps? Like, the people who I talked about, the gay hairstylist, the soccer coach, and women who don't even. The El Salvador concentration camps don't even take women. But Donald Trump at his events have gang members who are actually terrorizing New York and the Bronx, and that. Those are keynote speakers at Donald Trump's event. By the way. You remember, like, how he had, like, sexual assaulters at a lot of his events, too, were, like, people who engaged in, like, statutory rape. Speak with him at the events. Remember, like, Lawrence Taylor, who was convicted of proposition with a minor, spoke at one of his events, and, like, that seemed to be a through line. And by the way, Trump was found liable of sexual assault. Oh, by the way, Attorney General Pam Bondi. Hey, where are those Epstein tapes? You're never going to release the Epstein tapes. The Epstein files. Weren't those supposed to be released, like, I don't know, 65 days ago? Y'all are liars about everything. Also just reported as well. Bank of America economists now believe that we will be in what they call modest stagflation. Although the word modest and stagflation should not be used to qualify. Stagflation's horrible. Stagflation means crashing GDP and surging inflation. So when bank of America economists say there will be stagflation, and these are fairly conservative economists who want to try to paint a cheery picture, hence the use of the word Modest before stagflation. They said this is the outcome that's likely gonna happen this year. That's bad. The reason that we're a little bit prone to stagflation right now, especially the inflation part, is the starting point has been not very favorable. And they use all these euphemistic terms to be like, you know, to be like, Donald Trump is crashing the freaking economy is how they can basically say, oh, just so you can see, we did report on this. Our editor in chief, Ron Philip Koski. This was months and months and months ago at Trump's Bronx rally. We tried to warn you. Sleepy Hollow and Chef G were indicted last May along with 30 other gang members on a 140 count criminal indictment, including murder and at least 12 shootings. Chef G then posted a 1.5 million cash bond. And then he was invited right away to speak at the Trump rally. And Trump was like, I like your grill. I like your grill. So utterly stupid and dumb. Senator Duckworth says the following year she's posting this article from the New York Times Signal chat leaker leak angers U.S. military pilots. Men and women who have taken to the air on behalf of the United States. Pilots express bewilderment after the leak attack plans. You're going to kill somebody. One pilot said. As Tammy Duckworth Senator Duckworth says, for the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go. He's putting the. Are the lives of our, of our troops, of our pilots, of our armed forces in jeopardy? And then he does those weird press conferences where he like licks his lips and lips his cheeks. The whole thing is really strange. This guy never led anything in the military before. He was a Fox News host. He should not be the defense secretary. And you see the stupidity in these text messages where he and the national security Advisor create the Houthi PC small group chat where they are giving war plans and then they act like, this is a great thing. The American people aren't stupid. Like, we know that's bad. Oh my gosh. Oh, and by the way, to all of the union workers for Trump, that's kind of like being, you know, pigs in favor of the slaughterhouse, basically. Trump signed an executive order last night illegally canceling union contracts for about 67% of the federal workforce and 75% of unionized federal employees. Roughly 700,000 union workers. Where, where Sean O'Brien, the head of the Teamsters there. I love the Teamsters. I am a big fan of the Teamsters union. But Sean O'Brien said Donald Trump was going to be great for labor, he said. Chavez Durimer, the labor secretary, said she was great even though she doesn't even support the pro act. What are you going? What are you doing? So where's, where's your comment about this? This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history. Some better news to report, I suppose. The Midas Touch Network, the podcast, the network's beating Fox.
