I just showed you at the top of this video that was in Indiana, but protests are taking place across the United States. Also you have Bernie Sanders crossing the United States, going into red and purple districts in Wisconsin and Michigan and speaking to workers in front of massive crowds. He was in Kenosha, uh, and then he was in Michigan the following day. Gave some great speeches. I want to show you what Donald Trump's been doing though. Here Donald Trump is with his rapid response account saying keep fighting, keep fighting, exclamation point. And then one of the other kind of Trump right wing accounts goes Trump never stops working for the American people literally as he's going to play golf over this weekend and vacation once again on taxpayer dollars as the Patriot counts. The Patriot Takes account said he's literally on his way to the golf course in that video. Another weekend vacation for Donald Trump as he destroys Americans alliances abroad as he has stripped Ukraine not just of military aid, but he's also taken away the military intelligence and surveillance that America was providing to Ukraine, making Ukraine more susceptible to Russian missile strikes and Russian drone swarms. But Ukraine's doing as best they can to defend themselves courageously. And here's what Donald Trump's posting as well. Elon and Marco have a great relationship. Any statement other than that is fake news. DJT is Donald Trump is tanking our markets, tanking our economy as the Atlanta Federal Reserve now predicts a negative 2.8% GDP contraction in the first quarter of this year when they previously predicted if Donald Trump did nothing and just put Biden's economy in overdrive, it would have been about 3 to 4% GDP growth. This is the type of things that Donald Trump is posting. Elon Musk and Marco Rubio have a great relationship. And he's saying that in response to this story that broke in New York Times and elsewhere, that the Cabinet is like pissed at Elon and Elon's pissed at the Cabinet. Look, I don't really care who's pissed at who. What I care about is that they are gutting the federal government. They are treating people so horribly and cruelly. They are taking people away from critical positions. They are leading to an economic recession and potentially a depression. They're treating our veterans horribly. And then you have Donald Trump posting this this weekend while he's vacationing and golfing. This is a real post. Donald Trump reposts the following. Shut up about egg prices. Trump is saving consumers millions. So just shut up. That's really Donald Trump's message on social media that people need to stop talking about egg prices and just shut up. As Donald Trump was posting that Russian state regime media was posting this. US this is from Russian propaganda media rt. US Rejects Canadian plan for task force to target Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers bypassing sanctions. That was an article from Bloomberg that RT is happily reposting that the United States is screwing over our allies Canada. And then here's Another post from RT. The Russian state TV draft G7 statement leaks shows that the US wants any reference to sanctions against Russia gone. Russia's ability to maintain war to be swapped with earn revenue. And so quite literally, Donald Trump is now acting as an agent, a promoter of Russia. And he is making the US Part of an access of evil. Evil which Americans don't want to be a part of except for the hardcore magazine aligning the United States with Russia, North Korea and Belarus. As Jane Keev writes, Trump expands his war against Ukraine remotely cutting off vital electronic interference equipment on Ukraine's F16. Trump is merely Putin's you know what. And then Jay writes, US President Donald Trump's team has ordered the termination a vital support for F16 fighter jet jamming equipment that Ukraine has. What is important to understand is that this could deprive the Ukrainian air force of its most important air countermeasures. So that's what Donald Trump's doing from vacation is tanking the economy from vacation once again. He's spending, what, tens of millions of our taxpayer dollars so he can frolic in Mar a Lago with billionaire oligarch Crypto Bros. Or whatever. Oh, and then you have Elon Musk no longer following Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy as part of that New York Times report and some of the reports we've seen elsewhere. Marco Rubio and Elon Musk got into a fight at the last Cabinet meeting and so did Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy. Now Sean Duffy got famous off of the Real World road rules reality TV show challenge. And like the 1990s or early 2000s, whatever that was, Sean Duffy is now the Secretary of Transportation and he's saying, look Elon, you're firing all of our FAA workers and now there's plane crashes happening all the time and you're making me look like an idiot. And then Elon said, I don't care, I'm unfollowing unfollowing you on Twitter. And that's basically what went down here. Jay writes, again, Trump's peace plan is just to help Putin genocide Ukraine Christopher Steele writes, Trump's claims to be a peacemaker are risible. His decision to end intelligence sharing in Kiev has clearly encouraged and enabled Putin to increase his missile and drone onslaught on non military targets. Over the past 48, 72 hours, we've seen an uptick in the Russian non military missile strikes and many believe in fact that not only is now the Trump regime stopping any sharing of surveillance with Ukraine, but that the Trump regime may be sharing intelligence with Russia about where to attack in Ukraine. And it's why people in Europe and Canada and elsewhere just view the United States basically as not even a member of NATO anymore and like the US Is just totally isolated on an island on itself as a result of what the Trump regime has done. Let me share with you the following because you had J.D. vance make a post where he was complaining that he was basically like accosted and like treated horribly when he was with his three year old walking around the Cincinnati area and he was whining how bad he was treated and how unfair it is to be him. And he talks about in this post also how he was walking his 3 year old. Just an odd way to phrase it. You were walk like these magas used their like kids as human shields. So he was walking with his three year old in Cincinnati. People approached him and then he was acting like oh this was such a horrible thing. And when the people approached him they were like why are you selling out Ukraine? I want you to watch this interaction. Let's play it.

We're forcing both the Russians and Ukrainians, right? Exactly. They, they certainly invaded Ukraine in 2023, 2022.

We are the aggressor every time.

Ma'am, I understand that that's your view and certainly they have. And certainly I have. Ma'am, I have condemned, Ma'am, please, I'm speaking with you and I'm trying to be respectful. I have condemned the invasion, but I've also condemned it. That is the policy. And I've talked to you guys now.

And by the way, while we're on the topic of JD Vance and while I shared with you before Donald Trump's post while vacationing saying that we all need to shut up about egg prices, this is all they talked about during the campaign, right? The whole campaign they were saying, you know, look, eggs are going to cost you around $4 thanks to Kamala Harris. $4, everybody. Well, now eggs, $12, $15, they don't exist at all. If you, you have Trump's agriculture secretary saying we need to buy chickens and if we can live chickens so that they can make the eggs. I'm not making that up. I've showed you that clip on so many videos. I'm not going to show it here. But just to remind you, during the campaign, here's what JD Van said. They made eggs like the main part of the campaign. Here, play this clip.

Eggs, when Kamala Harris took office were short of $1.50 a dozen. Now, a dozen eggs will cost you around $4 thanks to Kamala Harris inflationary policies. Pennsylvania actually has seen some of the worst grocery price increases of the entire nation. And again, it's because she cast the deciding what vote on the Inflation Exposed Act. I think we want Pennsylvanians to be able to afford groceries. We want our young families to be able to buy food at a reasonable price at the grocery store. And the only way to do that is to get back to common sense economic policies and fire Kamala Harris. This is a person who's presided over a thousand dollar increase in monthly expenses just to afford the same life you could have afforded three and a half years ago. It costs you over $1,000 a month here in Pennsylvania. We can do so much better. We certainly will. And as the father of a couple of kids who eat a whole lot, we certainly need to do better for the next generation. God bless you guys.

Also, while Donald Trump is vacationing, we're getting headlines. Oh, he's posting this. Then I'll show you the headlines. Well, I'll show you the headline. First, the Wall Street Journal writes, Donald Trump's Tariff War risks sinking the world into New Great Depression. International Chamber of Commerce warrants the world economy could face a crash similar to the Great depression of the 1930s. And again, the International Chamber of Commerce is a right leaning business group. Donald Trump posts that the House and the Senate have put together, under the circumstances, a very good funding bill. A cr. It's a continuing resolution. All Republicans should vote. Please, please, yes, next week. Great things are coming for America and I'm asking you, just give us a few months to get us through to September so we can continue to put the country's financial house in order. Democrats will do anything they can to shut down our government and we can't let that happen. We have to remain united. Also, we're not talking about a few months, right? We're in March. So April, May, June, July, August, September. So what are we talking about? Like seven, seven to eight months or so for this continuing resolution and do your job. I mean, like, the Republicans can't pass a budget. Just so you're clear, when I'm talking about a continuing resolution, they're continuing the government funding based on the last budget, which was Nancy Pelosi's budget, before the Republicans took control in 2022, 2023. The Republicans have been in power since then, but Republicans have not passed an actual budget. So they keep on doing continuing resolutions because they need to fund the government using basically Nancy Pelosi's budget as a template. And then they all whine and say, oh, there's so much fraud. There's all of these things and it really isn't any of that. Like, if y'all want to change priorities and if you think that there's, you know, all this misconduct and fraud, then pass your own budget, do your damn fricking job. But no, this is what they're talking about right now. As I started this video showing you the protest, I showed you one in Indiana. You know, you saw them in all 50 states yesterday. Um, someone gave, you know, someone reached out to me here from St. Paul, Minnesota. Protest happening now in St. Paul, Minnesota. This is what democracy looks like. It says Lucy the Protesting Beagle is here too. What's up, Lucy the Protesting Beagle? Midas touch.com Please help us spread the word. No corporate media anywhere. Well, you know, we're covering it here on the Midas Touch Network. Another thing I wanted to point out as well, because we've talked about all of the other kind of countries seeing how weak and pathetic Donald Trump is. The latest to stand up to Donald Trump is Iran, who's clearly not scared of Donald Trump. The Iranian leader says he won't accept demands by bully countries after Trump claims to have sent the leader, Khomeini a Letter. And like Donald Trump said in from one of those weird Oval Office press conferences at the end of last week that we sent a letter. And you know, Iran's gonna have a lot of problems if they don't do what they're supposed to do. Here's what Donald Trump said.
- [14:14]
Donald Trump
It's an interesting time in the history of the world, but we have a situation with Iran that something's going to happen very soon. Very, very soon. You'll be talking about that pretty soon, I guess, and hopefully we can have a peace deal. You know, I'm not, I'm not speaking out of strength or weakness. I'm just saying I'd rather see a peace deal than the other, but the other will solve the problem.

And then what the, what Iran said is that, look, who Donald Trump said is absolutely false. We're not scared of him. We're not going to respond to him, like, literally, we're just going to ignore him. We don't, we don't listen to bully regimes. So at this point, this is how everyone's dealing with Donald Trump. Like, even Iran is not afraid of Donald Trump. I showed you at the beginning some of the Bernie Sanders town halls and rallies in red purplish areas. Just so you can see here as well. This was from Saturday. He writes, Senator Sanders writes totally insane. First a gym full of people, then an overflow crowd, then an overflow, overflow crowd. And an overflow, overflow, overflow crowd. More than 9,000 people came out in war in Michigan to say no to oligarchy, no to cuts to Social Security, no to Medicaid, no to cuts to the va. You know, also, I think it's worth mentioning as well over here that they still haven't released the Epstein files. Right, they still have not released it. Remember weeks ago when the MAGA Republicans said they were releasing the Epstein files? I told you they were never going to release it. And then they gave those, like, MAGA influencers who showed up at the White House a binder and they, like, wrote Epstein files, the most transparent administration ever on the binder, like, thinking everybody's stupid. Yeah, they, they was then exposed that it was not the Epstein files. It was like Epstein's phone book that was released in 2021, by the way, which has Donald Trump's name on it. And now they're saying they're not going to turn over the Epstein files. I told you they were never going to turn it over ever. I mean, because it probably has, you know, stuff with Trump's name on it. I mean, Trump was close with Epstein, so. But I'll tell you what they did do. The Trump administration did help get the Tate brothers, who were arrested on sex trafficking, of minor charges. Alleged sex trafficking and minor charges, although we've heard them speak. And the Tate brothers have said, in their own words, the most horrific and despicable things as well about trafficking. Um, but they were brought back from Romania to the United States where they're getting a hero's welcome from all of the MAGA people who are saying, you know, how great it is that they're there. So while you don't get the Epstein files, you do get the. The Tate brothers who were arrested in Romania on sex trafficking charges. So that's what. That's. That's what Mag is doing. Higher egg prices, a tanking stock market, a tanking GDP stagflation, meaning GDP growth low or contracting, inflation surging, stock markets crashing. And then Donald Trump saying, shut up. Shut up about egg prices. He's got a vacation, everybody. He's got a vacation. He's got him and the bro, him and the oligarchs, him and the billionaires, they gotta talk about their crypto reserves and what they're gonna do with their crypto and their meme coins, everybody, while we the people suffer. So despicable. Great work to all the people out there protesting. Great work to Senator Sanders and everybody who showed up to those protests and to those events.
