Activist or Political Speaker (8:30)

I just want to thank all of you guys for showing up for each other, having each other's back. Tuesday was a big night. We would not have been successful. We wouldn't even have come up with the idea had you not in some inspired all of us to make the point. This is about all of us, not just about Texas, not just about California. It's about the United States of America. All I want to say is I got to get Back in there because I'm supposed about to speak. I mean this as a guy with four kids, the bottom of my heart, thank you for showing up for yourselves and people for each other. Thank you for giving a damn. Thank you for not giving.

For not.

Giving into the cynicism. It's, I know it feels like it's shocking off and it's all about exhausting us, but the fact is.

Political Commentator (9:31)

But the.

Activist or Political Speaker (9:32)

Fact you, that you're here today, you continue to share your voice and not give into that cynicism, that fear and that anxiety. That's the antidote to the fear. So keep it up. We love you.

Now, while all of this is taking place, the Trump regime has the idea, and Donald Trump made the social media post that here's what they're gonna do. They're gonna turn the 30 year mortgage into a 50 year mortgage. Because the way that they want to deal with the affordability crisis is not to actually address affordability, but to help the banks collect more in interest over the lifetime of a loan and basically turn Americans into lifelong servants. Essentially you have Pulte, this guy who runs Donald Trump's Fair Housing Administration. He's the guy who like targets Donald Trump's political enemies for the vindictive prosecutions like New York Attorney General Letitia James. And Pulte goes, thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on the 50 year mortgage. A complete game changer. And by the way, MAGA hated this idea. People like Matt Walsh, I mean like as far MAGA as you get, he goes, this just means your house will be owned by the bank until you die and after we don't need 50 year mortgages. And then he goes and blames it on illegal immigrants because they are still maga. But the reality is if you want to address the affordability issue, you need to then get the hedge funds and the private equity companies out of purchasing all of these homes and commoditizing home ownership and preventing families from being able to buy homes. You need to be able to raise the wages to make living wages like you have. That's how you have to address affordability, not with what the Trump regime is doing. So I think that's probably the stupidest idea imaginable, going to a 50 year mortgage. And also to me, it hints at the fact that Trump and his regime realize how bad the housing market is right now and they want to make it worse with these gimmicks than actually addressing the real issues. And also, if you wanted to go from a 30 year to a 50 year. And you can't just divine it and say you're going to do it. There has to be a whole change in regulations that would require Congress's intervention. And if Trump were to do it on his own, he'll create the same even worse chaos than he did with his trade war against the world and further push the United States into Great Recession or depressionary territory at this point. But if you listen to the MAGA Republicans, this is a real post from Mark Wayne Mullen, the MAGA Republican senator from Oklahoma. I mean, how pathetic is this? We have all the receipts, right? If Donald Trump's in Mar a Lago, they're doing, you know, the crab parties this week with synchronized swimming or whatever the hell they're doing. But the Republicans want to pretend that they're working. So Mark Wayne Mullen, I kid you not, Yesterday he posts working through the weekend with President Donald J. Trump. It's always an honor to be in the Oval Office. I've never, I never take this opportunity to serve Oklahoma for granted. Dude, Donald Trump's not in the White House. You're posting an old photo and pretending you are all working this weekend. Do you think that the corporate media runs the show right now? It doesn't. Midas Touch Network runs the show right now. We're gonna fact check you in a second. We've got the receipts of what's going down in Mar a Lago. This propaganda isn't working, you MAGA fascists, because we got the receipts here at the Midas Touch Network. By the way, if you zoom in on what Mark Wayne Mullen, this MAGA Republican senator posted, zoom in right there. What the hell are they even showing him charts with his signature on it? He's looking at charts that have his own signature. And then on his desk, he has photos of his own social media posts on a failing social media platform that apparently lost close to $60 million last quarter. He's just, he just has his social media posts on his desk. That's not work. That's literally being deranged. Like, what the hell is that? And then if you zoom in on the back photo that Mark Wade Mullen posted on the back of his desk, is that Don Jr. Like, like on his knees on the bottom of Donald Trump's desk. I mean, this is really weird behavior. And also last week, I guess, while Donald Trump was in the Oval Office, he wasn't working, he was sleeping. We saw him fall asleep multiple times, snoring, like he fell asleep before our eyes. And I know, finally, I think The Washington Post covered it, but, like, look at this guy. I mean, Governor Newsom's mocking it. The nod. Father, you have this photo of Donald Trump with kind of his hand, like, looks like it's like, limping right there. Um, this guy fell asleep over and over and over again. And while he's at Mar a Lago partying, while the American people are sleeping, whatever the hell he's doing, while the American people are suffering, starving to death. He's starving Americans to death as he's ripping away their healthcare. He's also unleashed his Border Patrol agents and ICE hat tip to Laura Rodriguez Pressa. She posted these photos from yesterday in Little Village in Chicago documenting the Border Patrol terrorizing people in Chicago. You see them go out there with their guns, pointing their guns at people in the vehicle. They're point. They just drive around pointing guns at people and terrorizing them. And that's what these Trump regime Gestapo people doing. Oh, yeah. Another economic indicator. Wendy's closing hundreds of location list of fast food casualties in 2025 grows even longer. The burger chain said in its earning call Friday that it will shutter 200 to 350 stores. Also, hedge funds are now shorting the markets at the fastest pace since April, when Trump announced the liquidation day, which he called Liberation Day. And I want to highlight Senator Rosen from Nevada. I think that she's channeling the way a lot of Americans are feeling right now. She discovered that the MAGA Republican senator from Ohio, Bernie Moreno, was actually stalking her and her female staff. I know it sounds ridiculous, but. And sick, but it's true. So Bernie. Bernie Moreno and his staff would go and look at the VIN numbers of the vehicles of Senator Rosen and her female staffers because they wanted to talk about the cars that they're driving. I don't know who even knows. Who knows if Moreno brought it to his, you know, car dealerships to search these things. But now all of the people in Rosen's office feel like they're being stalked by the people in Marino's office, this crazy MAGA Republican guy. And so here she is, though, as part of the exchange that transpires. And I just want you to watch as she forcefully pushes back against him. And just watch this moment here. Play this clip saying to you, as.

It'S a Republican shutdown, my friend, you are in control of the White House. You are in control of the House, and you are in control of the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar a Lago, does it take 60 votes at a gold plated dinner while people are starving. You might see and hear your constituents. Sir, you are cult. You are blind to the suffering of your people.
