Midas Touch Host
Trump has been throwing a tantrum all day and is lashing out at State regime media which calls itself Fox. That's right, Trump is lashing out and attacking Fox because they had the audacity to allow on one of their programs, get this, a Democrat Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna appeared on a program on State regime media which calls itself Fox. They tried to press him using Trump and MAGA talking points and Democrats. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna calmly, coolly and confidently brought the receipts and explained what the American people are really feeling right now under this despicable Trump regime. And the Fox hosts were left stunned. They were silent. They had no way to rebut the truth bombs that Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna was dropping on live tv. And Trump was watching this and he was ranting and raving like, why are you just letting him say the truth? And he went on his social media platform, which has the dystopian name Truth Social, which is just all lies and propaganda, and he started attacking fox. He started attacking Ro Khanna. He lost his mind. And then Connor responded, this is the way folks. This is how it's done. Hat tip to Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna for fighting fire with the truth and extinguishing the fire of lies, the cauldron of lies with facts. We wrote on the Midas Touch network account. Trump lashing out at Fox News, accusing the network of undermining MAGA and the Republican Party and claiming that MAGA Republicans hate Fox. He blames Fox for making it hard for Republicans to win elections Donald Trump posted the following you could listen to Fox News all day long, absolutely devour it. But then when you hear sleaze bags like Congressman Ro Khanna, a wolf in sheep's clothing, lie, lie, lie and lie again without any pushback or competent rebuttal from an anchor, in this case Jackie Heinrich, the entire common sense dialogue that has been going on all day at Fox is completely obliterated. Why would Fox put scum like this on or others such as low rated Bill Maher who gains cred by constant referral to him as though he were a liberal source of wisdom or very low iq? Hakeem Jeffries, who considers the Supreme Court illegitimate and probably hates our country. No matter how fair and balanced the day's news at Fox may be, the end result is destroyed when professional liars, con men and liberal crooked politicians. This is why MAGA Republicans, who are actually close to 100% of the party, hate Fox despite the wonderful contributions made by so many of their great anchors and commentators. Hard to win elections like this. Donald J. Trump who are you talking about Donna? Mark Levan or Sean Hannity? Your bootlickers? Those weirdos? Is that who you're talking about? Democratic Congressmember Row kind of fired back right away at Donald Trump's post and he goes so this is Trump's second attack of the day on me. This is why I go on fox. This is why I talk about an economic agenda you to build steel ship and battery plants in hollowed out communities. This is why I talk to everyone, including Trump voters without hurling insults. This is how Democrats will win and unite the country. And it should be noted that Democratic Congressmember Rona worked with Republican Thomas Massie in Kentucky to lead the way to release the Epstein files, which we know has been Donald Trump's worst nightmare. And Trump and his regime continued to cover up the child sex trafficking ring. Now earlier in the day Donald Trump posted this message. Ro Khanna was living rent free and is living rent free in Donald Trump's pathetic tiny mind. Donald Trump posted the following the sleaze bag radical left congressman from the failed state of California Ro Khanna should not be allowed on Fox News unless you have an anchor who is capable of disp his lies one after another and closing down his fake bullshit narrative. He is similar but worse than Akeem Jeffries, only with a somewhat higher iq. This morning he tried on behalf of the Democrats to take credit for the steel industry pouring back into the US knowing full well that the dumbs virtually destroyed it. And I saved it through strong tariffs. Plus, our country was dead during the last administration and now it's hotter than ever before. We can't allow the Democrats to take credit for this. If elected, they will fully destroy our thriving and now very respected nation. I will not let that happen. Donald J. Trump Want to talk about the fact, should we bring receipts? There was a manufacturing boom under former President Biden and Donald Trump stopped that boom. Now we're in a jobs recession. Donald Trump's tariffs against the world have been disastrous for American workers. And Donald Trump bragging that he's brought in 18 to 21 trillion dollars from foreign countries or that he's going to sell gold cards or he's going to ain't the reflecting pool American flag blue, whatever the hell that means. And that's gonna make us better. We all know what a two bit bankrupt con man and idiot he is now Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna posted the following message. The man building a ballroom with foreign steel probably shouldn't call himself the champion of American steel. But as you learn from the Epstein files, I'm open to working across the aisle. So how about signing my steel bill to rebuild the American steel industry. Now, if you're like, hey, what was the appearance by Ronna that set Donald Trump off, that threw Trump into this tantrum that he spent the whole day attacking state regime media, which calls itself fox, here's what Ro Khanna had to say. Let's play it.
- [07:27]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
We're still gonna win the House. The reason we're gonna win the House is gas prices are up, food prices are up. People don't like the fact that we're in a war in Iran. They don't like the fact that the Trump administration hasn't released the Epstein files or held the Epstein class accountable. But I was very disappointed in the Virginia Supreme Court overturning an election. And then you have the Supreme Court basically taking away black districts in the deep south that Dr. King and John Lewis fought for. So this isn't about winning the House. We're going to win back the House anyway. This is about reversing some of the progress we made in the civil rights movement.

Midas Touch Host
More from Congressmember Khanna right here. Let's play it.
- [08:08]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
Well, there was an election, I believe that the voters of Virginia clearly spoke and the Virginia Supreme Court should have deferred to what the Virginia voters wanted. But the bigger problem in my view, I mean, I'm opposed to that Virginia decision, but the bigger problem is the Supreme Court, which is basically saying, let's you can Take away Jim Clyburn's district in South Carolina. I mean, think about that. For 100 years after Jim Crow, we did not have a single black member in South Carolina. The first black member after the 1890s was Jim Clyburn. And now the Supreme Court is saying you can take away that district. So you may not have any black member from South Carolina where slavery actually came through the port of Charleston. That is not about politics. It's about history. And that's what I find really concerning.

And here's what Congress, this is the one that I think really got to Donald Trump. I think the others did. But Donald Trump is so excited for his trip to China to see Xi Jinping. Cause Donald Trump wants that photo with him and Xi Jinping in front of the Chinese soldiers standing at attention so Donald Trump can feel strong. You know, Donald Trump says, gee, they call you the King G. And Donald Trump has thrown our Asian alliances under the bus. He's dismantled our security umbrell in Asia because Trump wants this photo op with Xi Jinping. Never mind the fact that the Iranian foreign minister, Iraqi has been visiting in China very recently with Wang Yi, China's foreign minister. And China gave a state celebratory welcome to Iraqi. They treated him like a conquering hero. And of course we know, even if China denies it, that China and Russia are helping Iran get equipment and helping Iran's economy. And we, we all know that. But Donald Trump, he wants that photo with Ging Ping. And here is what Ro Khanna said. Cuz Ro Khanna reminds like but didn't weren't you Republicans all claiming you were China hawks? Remember, they go, we're hawks. Right. Whatever the hell that means. The Republicans are always use the term hawks. We're budget hawks, we're deficit hawks, we're China hawks, we're defense hawks. They just stupid words that they use when it's like you've made us weaker, you've increased the deficit, you've increased the debt. What? What do you mean you're a. What do you mean you're a hawk? And what is it? What are you even talking about anyway here Talking is where were China hawk? Dude, y' all threw Taiwan under the bus in less than two seconds. Okay, here's what Ro Khanna had to say. Play this clip.
- [10:52]
Reporter/Interviewer
I want to get your thoughts on the China trip because you're doing this tour across three states, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan talking about competition with China. And I want to ask, you know, what do you hope to achieve with that and how does it relate, if any, to what the President's trying to effort overseas next week.
- [11:14]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
Well, I heard your earlier report and I hope the President's going to get a better deal for our soybean farmers. I mean, the reality is that our soybean farmers are hurting, our corn farmers are hurting. We need to have more export markets opened in China and around the world. The second thing we learned is that China has been bringing in investment into the United States and having some of these factories open up that are hiring people who are undocumented. Abusing hours. There's a glass manufacturer in Ohio that cannot go on. The President needs to make it clear to China that they should not be opening up manufacturing in the United States, subsidizing it and violating the law. And the final point is that they shouldn't be engaged in subsidies of their industry and dumping. When I was in Cleveland at the Port of Cleveland, I was horrified to see Chinese steel there. Why aren't we getting that from Cleveland? Clifford An American Steel Company.
- [12:09]
Reporter/Interviewer
Do you feel that this is a bipartisan issue in Congress?
- [12:13]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
I do. John Moliner, who is the chair of the China Committee and I have worked together. We don't want any Chinese connected cars in the United States. We need to protect American cars. We want to have a steel be American steel, not be importing Chinese steel. And we don't want China playing unfairly. I mean, some of these companies that they're setting up in the United States, they're not, they're violating labor laws and they simply are not competing on a level playing field. And so I'm the top Democrat on the China committee and on these issues I often work closely with John Moliner, who's the chair.

Now I just want to remind you as well, this follows Ro Khanna going right to the, to the belly of the beast, to the heart of Fox's Death Star, if you will. And he went on to Maria Bartiroma and he said, oh, former President Obama, so much better than Donald Trump.
- [14:28]
Maria Bartiromo
Let's play this clip saying 1.7 billion he told Congress was frozen Iranian assets. Now, there was a back channel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active for 2012-2024. This was after he left office. So, you know, it was almost like a shadow government. He also sent pellets of cash in a plane to Iran. Now, why would you send money to Iran knowing that they are building a nuclear weapon and they are the leading sponsor of terrorism?
- [14:59]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
Barack Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. The reality is when President Obama left because of the great efforts of people like Valerie Jarrett, we had 97% of the enriched uranium out. The reality is we didn't have 13American service members dead. The reality is we never had gas go up from $2.30 to $4. The reality is we did not give China more role in the region. Let me finish, Maria. I'll let you finish. We didn't give, we didn't give China more role in the region. We did not give the IRGC a more hardline regime in there. You know why? Because Obama actually did his homework. He actually tried to engage in statesmanship. He had gotten, he got China, Russia, the entire European allies on board with getting Iran on a path to not having a nuclear weapon. All, all Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That's, that's his entire foreign policy. You know what? I resent the fact that Israel is going to tell the United States what to do. The American president should call the shots in this country.
- [16:02]
Maria Bartiromo
Well, the American president should call the shots in this country.
- [16:05]
Midas Touch Host
But you, then he talked about how, wait, now you want to just throw $400 billion more in a war in Iran? Play this clip.
- [16:13]
Maria Bartiromo
You've supported several unsuccessful resolutions to Limit President Trump's war powers in Iran.
- [16:20]
Midas Touch Host
Do you think President Trump will be
- [16:22]
Maria Bartiromo
able to secure congressional authorization for this war?
- [16:28]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
No question. Let me be clear. We need to end this war. Americans are struggling. Gas prices are up. Food prices are up. Housing costs are up. The reason those prices are up is because the Strait of Hormuz is closed. And because of this war, it's caused devastation for working families. The President ran saying that he would bring prices down. Prices are up in his administration and the way most Americans want this war to end. Even 54% of Republicans believe we need negotiation to end the war. The Pope is saying, end the war. Americans agree with the Pope. We need a negotiated settlement, and this war needs to end this week.
- [17:09]
Midas Touch Host
And then he was on Fox again, and he was talking about how you don't need to threaten genocide to get Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz. Here, play this clip right here.
- [17:20]
Maria Bartiromo
I think we need to look at the history of the way that President Trump negotiates these things and to see that, you know, unless you're very clear and you have a serious, you know, stick that you're holding over this situation, you're not likely to get anywhere.
- [17:35]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
You don't have to threaten genocide to get Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, we've lost the plot here. The President has lost the plot. The president. The President went in to say that he wanted to free the Iranian people. Now he's talking about destroying 99 million people.
- [17:49]
Maria Bartiromo
Speaking with Nazi Nahiyan. And I've spoken with a lot of Iranian activists who want this.
- [17:54]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
They want him to threaten to wipe out 91 million.
- [17:57]
Maria Bartiromo
I think they understand. I don't think anyone's talking about.
- [18:00]
Congressmember Ro Khanna
This is not a New York real estate deal. He's the President of the United States. The commander in chief was saying, we're gonna.
- [18:05]
Maria Bartiromo
I guess the question is, what do you suggest?
- [18:07]
Midas Touch Host
So what did Fox try to do in order to appease Donald Trump? Well, they brought this dude on, Kevin Hassett, Donald Trump's national economic adviser, who's quite literally been wrong about every economic thing. Like this is the guy telling everybody you need to buy right before the dot com boom went and bust and there was the massive dot com crash. He was the guy saying, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Then boom, the next day. I think he put out a book right around then. Same thing before the Great Recession. The guy is a great indicator of. You do the opposite of what you said. He lies all the time. He's wrong about everything. But I just want to show you. So you got Donald Trump attacking Kana, and then so state regime puts on their regime guy, Hassett. And then Hassett preemptively blames Democrats in blue states for the fact that GDP is not growing where it should. Here, play this clip.
- [19:02]
Kevin Hassett
And so for sure, in the aggregate, we're looking at 4% economic growth because of all the productivity from AI, all the capital spending and so on. But the drag on the economy is that the blue states are actually hemorrhaging jobs. And so if we disappoint at all, it'll be because of, like, what happens to New York State, what happens to California because of these misguided policies.
- [19:22]
Maria Bartiromo
Well, you know, as Maria always, uh, money is mobile.
- [19:26]
Midas Touch Host
And then he lies because you just get on Fox. And unlike Ro Khanna, who deals with facts, deals with the truth, the Trump regime's national economic advisor goes, oh, oh, they're talking about a manufacturing boom. Under Biden, all the jobs were illegal aliens. That's why they were eating your cats and dogs. Remember? It was all the illegals. I mean, what are you just completely false. What do you mean it was all the illegals? That's their go to move. Just lie. I mean, these sociopath, psychotic liars just show up there and go, well, you know, Democrats, all legal, dude. They lie about everything. Here, play this clip right here.
- [20:04]
Kevin Hassett
Right to work. And we did an analysis when we first got into the White House that showed that almost all of the job creation that happened under President Biden was the employment of illegal aliens. And so by securing the border, by reinforcing immigration law, you know, there were some that said that we never had we wouldn't have enough workers to grow the economy. You can remember that. But in fact, what has happened is great high paying jobs have been going to American citizens, which is really what the intent of President Trump's policy was.
- [20:35]
Midas Touch Host
Told you. They lie about everything. So then Maria Bartiroma's like, all right, so what kind of GDP growth are we thinking for next year? What are you thinking? Well, I think 6%. I think we'll do six. Okay, here, play this clip right here.
- [20:51]
Kevin Hassett
If you look at how fast the capital stock is growing, that's sort of like how much stuff that we make stuff with. It's between 5 and 8% right now. If you divide that by 3, that's about how much GDP growth you get out of just capital spending. We've got productivity growth at two and a half. I think we really could be looking at numbers north of 4 north of 5, north of even 6 because there's so much capital stock growth right now. Remember that the 2% number that you saw for GDP growth growth, the reason why it was 2% and not 4 or 5% was that we imported a record number of capital goods because we're building all these factories. Once we turn those factories on, you're going to see really growth unlike anything we've seen before.
- [21:29]
Midas Touch Host
And then Maria Bartarom was like, all right, well, in terms of gas prices, is this going to mean higher gas prices for consumers? And then Kevin Hassett's like, well, in the short run, but we're right around the corner. Don't you, don't you worry? Right around the corner. That's the golden age. We know we told you that it would be the second quarter of last year, then the third quarter, then the fourth quarter, then the first quarter. It's right around the. Maria, Maria, this is, we're right where we need to be right now. Maria, here, play this clip.
- [22:02]
Maria Bartiromo
So in terms of the price of oil and gas and this spike, this has to mean higher costs for corporate America and for consumers.
- [22:10]
Kevin Hassett
Well, it does in the short run. And you mentioned Secretary Bessett who follows these numbers. You know, he made a lot of money following these numbers of the past and being able to trade. And he says these futures markets are saying that basically once we get the straight open, then there's going to be a gusher of oil released from the Gulf and that's going to help put prices down relatively quickly. Now, there's a little bit of a time lag from that. We've got to get the boats to move from the Persian Gulf to especially Asia where jet fuel prices are so high. And that can take a month or two. But once basically the gusher opens, then we expect that oil prices could drop relatively quickly and certainly ahead of the election.
