For a limited time, you can get KFC chicken with the sweet heat of hot honey. And after one bite you'll wonder, how do bees make hot honey so hot? Are they special bees? Does KFC have dragon bees, fire breathing dragon bees that create spicy honey? No, silly. There's no such thing. KFC just part with Mike's hot honey to drizzle all over their crispy chicken. But dragon bees would be so cool. Try it now for only $7 or share a box with friends for 25. Prices and participation vary while supplies last. Taxes, tips and fees extra.

Governor Walls
Right now, it's the time to fight for the people. You're either on the side of the people or you're on the side of the oligarchs. I like to see Democrats who are fighting. Let me show you what Governor Walls did in Des Moines, Iowa. He spoke to the people there in a reddish area and he said, let me explain to you. Trump regime is going after public education. Play this clip.
- [03:32]
Political Commentator
And again, I got to be honest with you, they hate public education. I think they hate it for the reason we all know in here it's easier to run an authoritarian government if you don't have a population that knows. So. So again, obviously I don't have all the answers, but I think it's appealing to people's sense of decency. Again, I should be careful about that. I thought a message that we should value all people and we should have an immigration policy that adheres to the law but adheres to humanity. And they talked about eating dogs and cats and they won. And so I myself am soul searching when I hear this, how in God's name of all the money that's being spent and all the tax cuts they're giving, we can't fund those interventions that we know make a difference in millions of children's lives. I can't believe America wouldn't go for that.
- [04:36]
Governor Walls
Couldn't agree more with him. Then in this public town hall event that he was holding, he asked the crowd, what do you want to see Democrats doing? Not surprisingly, it's fight. It's fight back. And not just what you want to see Democrats doing as human beings. We need to fight this regime right now. Here, play this clip.

Political Commentator
Look, I got asked that question. I got asked a question. Who's in charge? Who's the leader of the Democratic Party, Governor? And I said, the people are. And for three days On Fox News, they're like making fun, you know, the bungholes that are in the morning, like talking. Oh, Walls doesn't even know who the leader of the party is. Well, you know why? They sure know where it is. They know who their leader is because chaplip from butt kissing one person. So demand it. There's, there is, there is not going to be a charismatic leader ride in and do this. It is going to be people coming out on a beautiful Friday afternoon demanding change and holding people accountable.

Governor Walls, again, let's play it.

Political Commentator
But, but this issue around health care and the issue around Medicare and the things we're talking about, we've got people now that are exactly like this story, worried about basic human right of health care and decency in their life. And I own this. The idea that millions of people stayed home because they didn't think there was any difference between Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and myself on the ticket. They didn't. They didn't think that. And we, we need to acknowledge that. I think one of the reasons is, is that when Democrats have been in power, we've been timid about passing things that make a difference on their lives. Why do we have citizens that are in this piece of, in this situation? Why are we at that point when we are the richest nation on earth and yet our outcomes are 41st and we spend twice as much as any nation next to us? We should demand a redo of this system in a way that makes a difference on that because I think it's very hard that we have to win elections. But good politics follows good policy and the ACA was an improvement. But let's be honest, the ACA is still a pain in the ass to get things, paid to get things done. It's important protection, like preexisting conditions, but it's still too expensive. And so what I would say to you is we need to tell your son that we need a health care system, that he doesn't have to worry. That one election could throw him out and into the streets. That one election.

Let me show you what went down in one of these MAGA Republican town halls. I at least give this guy, Chuck Edwards, somewhat credit, MAGA Republican for holding the town hall. I think this showcases though, just how pissed people are. Here's a veteran who's got kicked out of the event. This is someone who fought for our country who got kicked out of this event for saying, you don't care about us, you're destroying the lives of veterans. Here, play this clip.

Let me show you this moment on Saturday where Democratic Senator Wyden of Oregon questioned Dr. Oz, who's leading Medicaid right now. Yes, Dr. Oz is leading Medicaid. Let's play it.
- [09:06]
Political Commentator
Oh, I want to ask about how we're going to do that. Will you agree this morning, since you want to cherish Medicaid, to oppose any cuts to the Medicaid program? I want a yes or no because we all agree that we need to do more to fight fraud and such matters. But what I want to know, yes or no, is since you cherish Medicaid, will you agree to oppose cuts in the Medicaid program? I cherish Medicaid and I've worked within the Medicaid environment quite extensively.
- [09:43]
Governor Walls
As I highlighted practicing at Columbia University.
- [09:46]
Political Commentator
That's not the question, Doctor. The question is, will you oppose cuts to this program? You say you cherish time short. I want to make sure that the.

Governor Walls
Patients today and in the future have resources to protect them if they get ill.
- [09:59]
Political Commentator
The way you protect Medicaid is by.
- [10:01]
Governor Walls
Making sure that it's viable at every level, which includes having enough practitioners to afford the services, paying them enough to do what you request of them, and.
- [10:09]
Political Commentator
Making sure that patients are able to actually use Medicare. Records show that I asked a witness who said he cherishes this program, will you agree to oppose cuts? And he would not answer a yes or no question.

Governor Walls
So you may know this about me, but I'm a new father and with everything that's going on in the world, if I wasn't already in protect my family mode, I'm particularly so with all the uncertainty taking place right now.

Here's Governor Wallace from that same town hall in Des Moines. Here he's saying there's nothing conservative about what Trump and Mag is doing. Let's play it to hear what people are irritated about.
- [12:11]
Political Commentator
And I would argue that Democratic officials should hear the primal scream that's coming from America is do something, damn it. This is wrong. This was wrong. And independence. And there's nothing conservative about an unelected South African Nepo baby firing people at the VA and, and for our Republican neighbors. Now all of a sudden they're like, I wanted my 401k to go down. I wanted this, you know, this idea that you would be okay. Can you imagine if President Barack Obama had brought his unelected African friend to cut, you know what I mean, how they think to cut the government. This is wrong. And your member of Congress is there to be your voice is there to push back.
- [13:08]
Governor Walls
There is nothing conservative about it. Let me just show you. Like, in contrast to that, you've got MAGA Republicans like Tom Emmer going on cnn. And here's what he had to say. Play this clip.

Political Commentator
Do you think it should be illegal to criticize a judge?
- [13:21]
Governor Walls
And also I recall President Trump being pretty critical of a couple judges in New York.
- [13:27]
Political Commentator
I mean, wouldn't it apply to him? Well, Jake, I was at the, I was at his speech today and I thought you're, the reporting you're hearing is not exact at all. What I heard, I heard a president who said, we're going to get the Department of Justice back to the business of apprehending, prosecuting and making sure that we have a rule of law in this country. Introduced Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and I even saw Leo Terrell was there. And Leo, of course, is doing some great work for the Justice Department investigating antisemitism on college campuses, including my own University of Minnesota. But as far as the Judges. He was talking about intimidation of judges by others outside or the lawyers are intimidating judges. I think that's the point he was making. And it was well received by most of the people there.
- [14:17]
Governor Walls
Let me ask you, like, how could you not expose that and call out that crap again? Just look, listen. See where the people are. Look at these veterans outside of the VA Medical center in St. Louis, for example. Here, play this clip.

Political Commentator
Trump and Musket got to go. Hey, hey. Oh, Trump and must. They gotta go.
- [14:50]
Governor Walls
Gotta listen to the people. See where the people are. Right now. Here is MAGA Republican Senator Joanie Ernst. Here she is just like lying about Doge saving $115 billion. Everything she says here is a lie. Let me just show you the lie. Let's play it.
- [15:10]
Political Commentator
Myowa.
- [15:11]

Mr. President, since January, Doge has saved $115 billion.
- [15:19]
Political Commentator
That amounts to. Order, please.
- [15:23]
Advertiser
That amounts to $714 per taxpayer.
- [15:28]
Governor Walls
Yeah, I mean, quite literally. These people just make things up. The true stat is that last month there was more federal government spending than ever in the history of the United States. That's the fact. So not only is Doge cruelly destroying our government and destroying people's lives, there was $603 billion in spending, most ever. I had the opportunity to interview Democratic Congressmember Raja Krishnamoorthy. He's fighting for the people. Here's what he says is going on in his district in Illinois. Let's play it.
- [16:05]
William Goudge
I gotta tell you, our constituents are livid at this point. We're getting tremendous outreach. The main reason being that I'm talking about even people in the middle, people who might have voted for Trump. We're hearing from, for instance, small businesses. We're one of the biggest kind of concentrations of light manufacturing anywhere in the Midwest. And Illinois's biggest trading partner is Canada. We have tremendous number of exports and imports coming across the border. And these businesses are just seeing their prices skyrocket for their inputs. And now that they're having to pay a lot more to build whatever they're building, they can't sell what they're trying to sell either at the prices that they were expecting. And meanwhile, our farmers met with me on Thursday, farmers from central and southern Illinois and complained about retaliation in the form of tariffs, counter tariffs on their goods. And so they are very upset. And then you have just residents, everyday people who are paying 27% more for eggs at the grocery store, a lot more for groceries in general. I had the president of the Local 881 of United Food and Commercial Workers as my guest for the State of the Union, he reported that for his 35,000 workers, many of them cannot afford the groceries that they are stocking on the shelves of their grocery stores. And so this is just a complete mess. And it's why, as you saw, you know, Trump's unfavorability is skyrocketing.
- [17:47]
Governor Walls
Here's what Democratic Congressmember Mike Levin has to say. Let's play it.
- [17:52]
Congressmember Mike Levin
I had the opportunity as a member of the Appropriations Committee, to have a hearing with the head of the Army Corps of Engineers. You know, they were the ones that ultimately let that 2 billions, 2 billion gallons of water flow from those dams down to a dry lake bed where a lot of. A lot of that water just evaporated. It never made its way to la. And we now know that the Army Corps knew that it was never going to make its way to la. And that water is needed for our farmers, our agriculture, particularly if we have a dry next few months. So the other thing you should know is that the LA wildfires were 100% contained when Trump made that decision, that very reckless and irresponsible decision. So the concern that I have is that the Army Corps of Engineers, who are good engineers, that they will follow the science, the engineering and common sense and actually listen to the community. We're going to continue to fight to get answers from them.
- [18:48]
Governor Walls
And while all of that's going on, contrast that to what Trump was doing yesterday. Like, this is. Trump was at the doj, and here's what he was whining about. Let's play it.
- [18:56]
Political Commentator
Please convict me. Don't say that. I pardoned hundreds of political prisoners who had been grossly mistreated. We removed the senior FBI officials who misdirected resources to send SWAT teams after grandmothers and. And J6 hostages. And it was a.

Governor Walls
So the ball's in your court, Dems. You want to fight or you want to be complicit with the oligarchy? You want to fight for the people or you want to do nothing? Which is hoisting up this oligarchy. There's no longer. I mean, right now, this isn't a government by the people for the people. It's a government by the bullies, for the billionaires. The government's already shut down. The Trump regime is being run by billionaires, Elon Musk, who are just doing whatever they want to do. There's no checks and balances. It's already being destroyed. It's already destroyed Democrats. You got to fight for people. This is a moment where courage will be rewarded, and it's the right thing to do. Hit subscribe let's get to 5 million subscribers. Can't get enough Midas?
