Senator Graham, can we ask you about this new Democrat offer? What do you make of the one year aca.

D (5:39)

Terrible, horrible. I'm not going to keep giving taxpayer dollars to the five largest health care insurance companies under Obamacare to get the government open.

B (5:52)

And then here's another MAGA Republican senator saying it. So again you can hear it for yourself. Let's play this clip right here.

C (5:59)

Senator, it's great to see you, great to have you on the show tonight. Let me ask you, will you accept this terrific offer by Chuck Schumer tonight?

E (6:08)

No.

D (6:08)

Lord, that's a non starter. What Chuck Schumer is asking us to do is to give $25 billion to criminals every year and $35 billion to insurance companies every year. That's what it's costing American taxpayers right now to fundto partially fund Obamacare. So that's a non starter and that's why here we are setting, should we do, should we break the filibuster? Not I think that's the conversation that Republicans should right now.

B (6:34)

Okay, so that's the position of these MAGAs right now. While, while Americans are terrified that they're going to be losing their healthcare. And right now we're living in a period where Americans can't afford things. Okay? I mean Americans go to the grocery store and they supermarket and they see the groceries are unaffordable. Americans can't afford their rent right now. Everything's going up. Inflation is surging as a result of Donald Trump's tariffs against the world. And Donald Trump's message before he left to go to Mar a La on the taxpayer dime again that we're paying for all of those stupid trips is that affordability is a con job. He goes, it's all one big con. It's not real. Affordability's a con. Just so you could hear him in his own words, here's what he said. Here, play this clip.

E (7:21)

That's a big number. Cuz Walmart's respected. I mean Walmart is Walmart and you know they're giving you prices. So that would mean that the whole series of pricing and costs, you know, the groceries and everything else, it was a con job. It was a con job. Affordability they call it was a con job by the, by the Democrats, the Democrats are good at a few things. Cheating on elections and conning people with facts that aren't true. It was 25%. Wal Mart just announced it two days ago, 25% cheaper. This year will be cheaper to have Thanksgiving than it was a year ago under sleepy Joe Biden.

B (8:01)

And then, by the way, you know, you have the Trump regime filing emergency motions to block the STAT payments to the beneficiaries. And then they brag about it. Let me just read to you what Attorney General Pam Bondi said last night. Within hours to go before the TRO compliance clock runs and the First Circuit waiting to deny immediate relief. Until a minute ago, we have filed an emergency stay application in the Supreme Court requesting immediate relief. And just so you know what that means, she's saying we rushed to the Supreme Court to block the payments of SNAP to the beneficiaries because they the regime doesn't want people to get SNAP benefits. The the United States government, just our taxpayer dollars, $40 billion just went to Argentina. $40 billion, by the way, it's like $37 billion to pay for the entire Affordable Care act for an entire year. But 40 billion we sent to Argentina. And the SNAP benefits would be for the next month or so would be like what, five or six billion dollars. And that money exists in a temporary fund. And we have more than enough money to fund SNAP right now. Fund snap. I mean, the Trump regime did what, a trillion dollar military budget, 173 additional billion dollars to the ICE Gestapo. By the way, here's what JD Van said, just so you could hear it in your own words, when he was attacking the courts, the lower courts, for ordering the Trump regime pay people the SNAP benefits. Here, play this clip.

F (9:35)

Look, Jackie, it's an absurd ruling because you have a federal judge effectively telling us what we have to do in the midst of a Democrat government shutdown, which what we'd like to do is for the Democrats to open up the government. Of course, then we can fund snap, and we can also do a lot of other good things for the American people. But in the midst of a shutdown, we can't have a federal court telling the President how he has to triage the situation. We're trying to keep as much turned on. We're trying to keep as much going as possible. The president and the entire administration are working on that. But we're not going to do it under the orders of a federal judge. We're going to do it according to what we think we have to do to comply with the law, of course, but also to actually make the government work for people in the midst of the Democrat government shutdown.

B (10:20)

I find this interesting as well. And it's so important that we have accurate, credible media diets right now because there's so much disinformation from the Trump regime. You remember when J.D. van said that he hoped that his Hindu wife converts to Christianity and then this sparked this massive debate. And like why, why would you say that? I mean you want you, you want your wife to. The whole thing is very, very, is a strange comment. Well, only 4% right wing of like the coverage came from right wing media on this. So it just shows you that like the right wing media is always going to cover up for maga and they always want to just give maga's base the kind of red meat that just pisses them off. But they don't want to ever look critically at their own people. So people ask me all the time, Ben, how do you stay up to date on the news all the time? On the Midas Touch network, you cover a lot. You do YouTube videos like 20 times a day. How are you covering it all? My go to news source is something called Ground news guys. This is a subscriber funded app and news site and every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story and then show you what's the right reporting, what's left wing media reporting, what's the center reporting? It's a game changer because as active, responsible citizens I think we must get our news from reliable sources. And in Trump's America, being informed about the facts and media bias, it's the most important thing you can do. But that's why we love ground news. That Midas Touch. For every article they also tell you did a media conglomerate posted or did it come from an independent media source? And then they also list the degree of factuality, which is interesting because I've actually found that independent media sources have a higher degree of factuality than some of the corporate conglomerates. And I use the Vantage subscription plan. That's the package I use. I want you to use the Vantage subscription plan as well. And I love their blind spot feed because it highlights what I just showed you. What is the center media covering? Right wing media covering, left wing media cover. And then I try to cover it all for our Midas Touch audience. It's like the story I just shared with you. So join us by going to ground news MTN, get 40% off the ground news Vantage plan that I use every morning. They're subscriber funded by subscribing.

By the way, I started this video by showing you the latest Russia attack, drone attack, ballistic missile attack on Ukraine, killing at least six. Remember what Donald Trump's statement about Ukraine is now? When he was asked, hey, you promised that you would stop the war in Ukraine by Russia on day one, Trump's response was, I'm just being sarcastic here. Play this clip.

C (13:23)

I'm not understating the complexity of all this, but as a candidate, you said you would have this war settled in 24 hours.

E (13:31)

Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I said that I would. What I really mean is I'd like to.

B (13:36)

And then what Donald Trump now says is, not only was he joking, lol. Lmao. Like he finds that funny that you said you were going to end a war on day one and now you acted like that was a stand up comedy routine, like what a sick human being you are. Now he goes, let them fight. I think that they should fight is what he says. It doesn't affect us in the United States. He says, he's like, the way I talk to you, Xi Jinping doesn't affect them. So doesn't affect us. Let them fight. Hey, Donald, you idiot. Let me be very clear what's going on in China. There's a reason why China is supporting Russia and that they have a deal to get the Russian oil and why there's more that's going on there. If you just read your freaking intelligence briefs, you would know the support that China is giving to Russia as you are out here saying, let them fight. Let them fight. So idiotic. Here, play this clip of Donald Trump saying, let them fight. Here, play this clip.

G (14:33)

Work together to see if we can get something done. We agree the sides are, you know, locked in fighting and sometimes you have to let them fight. I guess crazy, but he's going to help us and we're going to work together on Ukraine. He's got a lot more we can do. You know, he's been buying oil from Russia for a long time. He takes care of a big part of China and you know, I can say India been very good on that front. But we, we didn't really discuss the oil. We discussed working together to see if we could get that war finished. You know, it doesn't affect China, it doesn't affect us.

B (15:14)

You know, and meanwhile you have all these MAGA sycophants Like Nancy Mace. This is a real post from Nancy Mace. I have to tell you, last night I had the most incredible conversation with the President. I've never been more proud. I told him I love you. I, I told him I love him. America loves you. We love you. I mean these MAGA people are the most pathetic people imaginable. And I want to share this with you as well. So right now, in military bases across the country, guess what they're selling? They're selling Trump wine at military bases and Trump cider. He's forcing military bases to sell Trump Trump products. At the same time, over two dozen New York Times did a good report on this. Of our top generals and admirals have been fired, demoted, pushed aside, put on leave by frickin war criminal. Pete Hegseth, a former weekend Fox host who's now leading the Defense Department. He fired two dozen of our top people, including a leader at Central Command, the former head of the Navy Seals for promoting diversity. Got pushed out. The fricking head of the Navy Seals got pushed out. And instead the big initiatives by Hegseth and Trump are bring Trump apple cider or cider and Trump wine into military bases. I mean can you get more pathetic than that? Actually you can, cuz Fox did a whole special where they gave their Patriot awards and here's Sean Hannity with his face dyed orange giving Melania Trump the Patriot of the year award. And by the way, you know how Trump says, well the stock market's doing good, the stock market's doing good. First off, the stock market is not the American people. All the economists talk about this K shaped economy K because one line goes up and one line goes all the way down. And billionaires doing are doing well while the American people are in a recession, a great recession or perhaps even a depression right now. Based on what? Over a million jobs lost in the first three, three and a half quarters. Worst. Basically as bad as the Great Recession. Worse than any other time since then. I mean we have the right now, I mean recession and manufacturing. Trump screwed over the farmers. I mean it's, it's absolutely horrific. But this past week you saw a major drop in the stock market as well. Very volatile. Especially as AI stocks plunged. You had what open AI saying that they want the United States government to serve as a backstop for their debt and guarantee the debt and also to fund all of their expansion. Seriously, that's the. While the American people are starving to death, while the Trump regime is blocking snap payments and ripping away people's health care and where the Republicans look at an offer, just extend the ACA subsidies for one year. And Republicans say that's a nonstarter. While Donald Trump in the morning is making these idiotic posts about let's just get rid of, let's just give people a few thousand dollars and then they'll, and then they'll be great. Let me give you the actual idea what we should do, Donald Idiot. Let me explain it for you and spell it out. We should have universal healthcare in the United States. It should be free. Instead of having a $1 trillion budget for freaking military and supporting that defense industrial complex. Doesn't need to be $1 trillion. Okay, it could probably be about 5 to $600 billion. Instead of rich people go putting their money in tax havens and giving them what, a hundred percent deductions on private jets. And all of these tax benefits for yachts and private jets make them pay their fair share. And you know what? Make them pay a little bit more. If they're billionaires, make it pay a little bit more. Then guess what? All Americans can have freaking health care for free. Like all the other countries, by the way, including Argentina, who we just bailed out for $40 billion. Despicable Trump regime.
