Being killed in battle. It's a vicious battle with the best equipment, the best everything, and it is brutal. 2,500 young people a week, some of them not so young, actually. They're getting older. They're getting older by the month, but 2,500 a week, and we're going to get it stopped. Ideally. Now, if for some reason one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say you're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people. And we're going to just take a pass. But hopefully we won't have to do that. And Marco is right in saying that we're getting. We want to see it end. Think of it.

So the Midas Touch network, we made this video of Trump's promises versus what Trump and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio are saying right now here. Play this clip.

End the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Yes, I do. How would you do that? I know Zelensky very well. I'll end that war between those two countries in 24 hours. It won't even take that long.

Political Analyst (6:29)

No one's saying it's going to be done in 12 hours, but we want to see how far apart it is and whether those differences can even be narrowed. So we came here yesterday to sort of begin to talk about more specific outlines of what it might take to end the war, to try to figure out very soon, And I'm talking about a matter of days, not a matter of weeks, whether or not this is the war that can be ended.

Yeah. When you go into the cross tabs of some of these polls that show Donald Trump's approval plummeting to lowers to levels that are lower than his first term, and you poll certain groups. In month three of his second term, Trump's average approval rating is under 40% among the following groups. Among black people, 23%. Among people ages 18 to 29, his approvals, 34%. Independence, 37. Moderates, 37%. Women, 39%. Latinos, 39%. And so what's Donald Trump doing? As all of the data is bad, as it's obvious that his trade war is causing not just a recession, but a great recession or even something worse. What Donald Trump said he did in the first term, you gotta stop the testing, stop the data. ProPublica did a great report. I'll do a video today that goes into more detail about it. I'm going to interview Congressmember Pappas about it as well. Um, Donald Trump holds data collection on drug use, maternal mortality, climate change and more. Donald Trump's basically in gutting these agencies, by the way, federal spending's up. Just want to give you the objective data. There's more federal spending now under Trump than there was under former President Biden. Also, salaries for federal workers up right now more than it was under former President Biden. So it was never about cutting government waste. It was about stealing your data. It was about stealing your Social Security information, getting your medical records, getting all of the sensitive information, tax information for the Trump regime to hoard and to use against people. I mean, that's what this was about. Because if it was actually about government efficiency, the exact opposite, uh, took place. Let me be very clear about that. So a deadly E. Coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to report it. Donald Trump now claims that egg prices are way down. Right. At yesterday's press conference, Donald Trump said that the big issue with eggs right now is that they're too cheap and so many people have too many eggs. You don't know what to do with all of your eggs because you have so many eggs. And of course it's a lie. But there is this complete detachment from reality. This is what fascist authoritarian regimes do. Here, play this clip of Donald Trump saying eggs and everything is so, so cheap right now. Here, play this clip.

And the egg prices are down 87%. But nobody talks about that. You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, the prices are getting too low. So, so I just want to let you know, prices are down because what'.

As Barron's reports, there's a global rebalancing underway as investors continue to sell off U.S. bonds. Yes, there'll be updates in the market, down days in the market, but the trend is now down. And unfortunately it's a trend that is seems to be here to stay. Persistently from this article, it explains the rest of the world has crossed a red line and they will try to reduce dependence on the US on trade, on defense, on everything. There just ain't going back. The US Is viewed as unreliable, capricious, arbitrary, vindictive, fascist. Under the Trump regime. It's going to take a lot of rebuilding, folks. And what does Donald Trump do? He aligns himself with people like Naive Bukele. That's who Donald Trump worships, or looks up to. $35 billion GDP in El Salvador. Trump loves Viktor Orban of Hungary. Huge inflation, failed state, essentially. Donald Trump loves Javier Malay of Argentina. Massive poverty. You know, he likes North Korea, Kim Jong Un. He looks up to failed dictators. And so perhaps the least surprising news of this all, though, Alex EISENSTADT. I think he's a good writer. He got the scoop. Scoop. Trump revamped Schedule F, making it easier to cut federal workers. And it talks about how. This is what we talked about, right, with Project 2025. They were going to recharacterize the workers so that they're all at will employees. That's what Schedule F is. But what. While that is serious at this point, Trump's gutted the federal government. I mean, he's fired so many people. He's destroyed the ability of agencies to function. From the National Oceanic Institute's work to the forest services, to NIH and CDC. You've got RFK Jr giving these speeches and saying the most horrific things about autistic people and saying that people who are older don't have autism, and it's only in younger people, and just spreading all of these medical lies and disinformation. You know, it's. It is a kakistocracy, which means a regime staffed by the worst of the worst. That's what it is now. But, folks, I do feel hope within all of this. I feel hope when I see senators like Van Hollen going and speaking with Abrego Garcia standing up to the Trump regime. I feel hope when there's protests like the protests today. After this video, I'm going to do a whole other video on the protests where I'm just going to focus on the protest today. I know it's important that we cover that here. I feel that the Trump regime looks weaker. They're unable to implement a lot of their agenda. They're good at breaking things, they're bad at building things. And I think the rest of the world knows how to counter it and check it. I mean, I'll do a whole other video on Canada as well. I think Canada's cornered the Trump regime. Europe is, you know, and they recognize that Donald Trump's an extortionist and he's a felon, he's a sexual abuser, he's a predator. Right? I mean, and extortionists like him. If you give him an inch, he takes more. So they come back to you again, they hit you up more. Extortionists. So you just. You can't negotiate with extortionists. Anyway. That's where we're at today.
