We were returning home and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew. I got to sit in the driver's seat. I grew up in an aviation family and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot. These small Interactions can shape a kid's future. It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way. Donald Trump was looking like a very sick, decrepit, withering human being yesterday, sleeping for most of the cabinet meeting, then just looking demented throughout the day. This follows Donald Trump attacking the Midas Touch network the previous day before going into a 400 post meltdown at midnight. This individual is deeply unwell.

It's all bandaged up. You know, he's getting these repeated MRIs, which they claim is preventative in nature. We know that people don't get preventative MRIs of the abdomen area. That's all BS. I want to just zoom in on some elements that might not be focused on in terms of that cabinet meeting. We know that Donald Trump was sleeping for most of it, but zoom in right now on Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vogt to see what he was doing. He was doodling for most of this cabinet meeting. Take a look at Pete Hegseth's name placard right there. He's the SS secretary, two S's. Maybe they're trying to send us a signal right there. Then after the cabinet meeting, Donald Trump went back to the Oval Office where he started talking about what his priorities are. He mentions the golden ballrooms. He goes, we're doing great things. He goes, golden ballrooms. He goes, we're doing arch. We're doing arch. So they're going to build a massive arch to honor Donald Trump in D.C. right now. And he goes, that's a big deal, the arch. Just listen to what this demented human being is saying here. Here, play this clip. Well, as you, Mr. Dell, about contributing, can you walk us through maybe who you've been talking to and how much more we can expect on top of the people you probably would think I would be talking to I have There a group of people out there that have been very successful and we already started talking to them You know we doing ballrooms We doing arcs We doing we have a thing that being planned It's going to be a great tribute to the country, as you know. You probably heard about it. The arc that we're looking at by the bridge by near Arlington. There's going to be something we're doing some other things for Washington itself and for the country itself. But a lot of the people that have, you know, gone in and done a real job with that, the ballroom, I think Michael and Susan, the next time we meet, well, I think we'll hopefully we'll meet before then. But we're going to have a big event over in the ballroom to celebrate this. We're building a ballroom that they've wanted at this beautiful White House for 150 years. They've wanted it so badly. Right now we can hold 109 people, if you're lucky, in a room. It's a beautiful room, but it's 109 people. and we're building something, you see the trucks in the back, you see the clanging, the banging. And when it's completed, it'll be one of the greatest ballrooms anywhere in the world. It's going to be amazing. So people that were involved in that process have a lot of friends with a lot of success and every one of them, I would be shocked if anyone turns us down. We're going to have a lot of big contributors, Jeff. And then at that press conference in the Oval Office that hasn't gotten a lot of attention, a reporter asked Donald Trump about pardoning one of the top narco drug trafficking terrorists who's been convicted in the United States, Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former president of Honduras. And Trump was asked, well, why did you pardon this guy? And, you know, this guy was a horrible person. He worked with El Chapo. I want you to pay attention, though, to Maga Mike Johnson, little Maga Mike. You see him standing right by Donald Trump's side, because in a moment I'm going to show that Maga Mike claims he doesn't know anything about this. So first, let me show you Maga Mike by Trump's side. Here, play this clip. I did. You also pardoned the former president of Honduras, and he was released from prison yesterday. I did. Well, he was the president, and they had some drugs being sold in their country. And because he was the president, they went after him. That was a Biden horrible witch hunt, which was, you know, a lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that. And I did it. I feel very good about it. If you have some drug dealers in your country and you're the president, you don't necessarily put the president in jail for 45 years. That was a Biden inspired witch hunt. And here's Maga Mike running away from the press as he's asked, what do you make of Donald Trump pardoning these drug traffickers? Here play this clip. I don't know anything about it, President. I don't know. I don't have an opinion on it. I haven't read anything. He was charged 45 years with major crimes. The President has the ability to advocate on that as anyone he wants. It's not really my issue. This morning the energy and commerce committee held a hearing. While we're on the topic of Honduras right now, I do want to mention that Salvador Nasralla of the centrist liberal party, he's now taking a lead over Nasri Asfira, who's the right wing candidate, the MAGA puppet that Donald Trump is supporting. So Trump is absolutely livid right now that as of this recording, Nasrallah has taken the lead and Trump's saying, oh, it's fraud, fraud, fraud. Nothing that's happening there is Trump and MAGA have tried to brutally interfere with that election in Honduras. But Trump's preferred candidate is not winning right now. You know, I think it's worth noting, too, that the Washington Post and other corporate news is finally covering the things that we've been focused on here at the Midas Touchdown. I welcome them focusing on these things. Like the Washington Post did an analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday, showing that there were nine separate instances of Donald Trump falling asleep. And they said that there was, what was it, about like 10, 15% of the meeting Donald Trump was sleeping. Watch the super cut that they did. They did a really good job. Here play this clip. Japan and Korea, they offer us 750 billion in cash to build in America. Over a fence line dispute that had been in their family for 130 years, we fixed that. The family, the Henry family in New Jersey. Investments, and we're seeing more and more of that, where we also rescinded the supplemental statement that discouraged the fiduciaries. California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, I could go on. What happened in those states Well many of whom were let in across our borders under the previous administration We are focused on these tasks and this imperative for the American people And just appreciate your leadership Mr President Key Supreme Court decisions like Loper Breit overturned the Chevron doctrine. We inherited massive backlogs. And that means that American patients at the point of care will be able to get an answer. Then going from the White House to the Pentagon. So the Pentagon has this new press secretary, Kingsley Wilson is her name. And it kind of just looks like, I don't know, like someone doing like a high school project. And I'm like, no offense, it's just what it looks like to me. It looks like someone doing a high school project. But she now, this was her first press conference, and she's doing it in front of all that like right-wing propaganda press, right? They've kicked out all of like Reuters and AP and New York Times in Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal because they're requiring the press to allow the Pentagon to edit their work. And so a lot of the press that were not showing up. So it's all these right-wing clowns like Laura Loomer and then this guy who's going around there with beer. What's this guy's name? Dow or something. They're drinking beer in the Pentagon right now. Just weird behavior right here. But Kingsley Wilson, she says, look, these strikes that were taking place that were ordered by Admiral Frank Bradley. She goes, Trump knew about it and Hegseth knew about it, which is the opposite of what Trump and Hegseth said. So we're getting a lot of different information here. Play this clip. Completely. So the secretary has been very clear in every statement that we've released about these strikes that they are presidentially directed and the chain of command functions as it should. And we make sure that commanders on the ground are taken, their positions are taken into account and they are able to tell us and make decisions if they, if they see things that need be flagged. But at the end of the day, the secretary and the president are the ones directing these strikes. And any follow on strikes like those which were directed by Admiral Bradley, the secretary 100 percent agrees with. Now, let me just show you what various MAGA Republicans are saying right now. Everybody from Don Bacon to Wicker and others to others. Here's what they have to say here. Play this clip. We don't kill two survivors who are not posing an imminent threat to anybody. And so the best I can really say, I just want to make sure I get the facts. If what is being reported is true, someone is wrong and they should be held accountable. It doesn't sound good. And if somebody actually did this, they should be held accountable. And it should be at the top, not the bottom. You think that he should go if he's involved here? Secretary, absolutely. I felt that way under SignalGate. He should have taken responsibility then, and he doesn't. Secretary Hedge said he had no knowledge of this, and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day from the podium at the White House are saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday, or he's incompetent and didn't know it had happened. I've spoken to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I've spoken to the Secretary of Defense. And will be speaking to the Admiral that was in charge of the operation. I understand he was in charge of the operation. And based on that, we'll begin our oversight and get to the facts. Do you worry it could be a war crime if the survivors were killed? We're going to we're going to find out what the true facts are. All right. Now, Admiral Frank Bradley, the commander of the U.S. Special Operations South Com, he's the one who took the job from now retired four-star Admiral Alvin Holsey, who abruptly resigned in October. Now I think it's obvious why he resigned. So Frank Bradley's giving a classified briefing right now to Democrats and Republican leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee about what went down. We'll make sure that we report on this right away. I think that George Will, in his opinion piece for the Washington Post, said it right. The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself. And speaking about this moral slum, there's so many clips I can show you from that disastrous cabinet meeting i did a whole other video about it but i mean here's when donald trump just says that like all somalis are bad people they contribute nothing they're terrible humans just just disgusting stuff here let's play this clip i'm understanding and you're gonna look at to that's good i hear they ripped off somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars Billions every year billions of dollars And they contribute nothing The welfare is like 88 They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you. So that's not politically correct. I don't care. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks. And we don't want them in our country. I could say that about other countries, too. A few other data points I want to give you before we go. Number one, yesterday there was a meeting in Russia where Donald Trump sent his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who's somehow involved in this again. Like, could this guy just get the heck away? Steve Whitcoff, who I'd like to see, get the heck away. Rubio. So they're in Russia. It wasn't Rubio. It was just Whitcoff and Jared Kushner. And they met with Yuri Yushikov and other Russian agents who they conspired with to launder the 28-point plan of surrender. And Yushikov said that, thought it was a useful meeting, but he said that there are no plans for a second meeting between Putin and Trump. and said that there's no agreement to any of the requests from Ukraine, which all Ukraine's asking for is to stop the war right now and have a ceasefire. That should tell you everything that you need to know. As I said, a few more data points. We did cover last night the election in Tennessee, although the Democratic candidate Afton Bain, fortunately she did not prevail in the election against the MAGA Republican candidate, Matt Van Epps. The race was about an eight-point race, seven and a half, eight-point race. So about a 14-point shift or overperformance for the Democratic candidate there in Tennessee. So if you were to extrapolate that across the country right now, Democrats for the midterms would pick up anywhere between 40 to 50 seats in the midterms, And they just need three to take control of the House of Representatives. So I think unfortunate result, but it's a plus 22 Trump district and a 14 point over performance. But take a look at a race that's not getting as much attention, Roswell, Georgia, where you had a Democratic candidate, Mary Robichaud, flipped a Republican mayor office. Um, rep, uh, the, uh, Kurt Wilson was the incumbent, uh, in this mayor's race in Roswell, Georgia, the Democrat one overperformed Democrat one 53.2% to 46%, a big win for the democratic candidate there. Let's just talk about this. Like I always like to share with you the types of deranged emails that Trump sending to his supporters. So you see the mindset, like the brainwashing tactics. That's why I like to show these to you. And I subscribe so you don't have to. So here's an example of one. This says, Trump requests your presence in the 47th President Founders Club. Accept the invitation to the Founders Club. And it says, you're not asleep, but yes, most people dream of receiving an email like this one. Then you click it and it asks you for money. Most people dream of being part of a fake club that you're just making up and you send emails about every day. there was another email he sent yesterday to his supporters. Did my letter get buried in the snow? And it's an AI image of Donald Trump putting a letter in a mailbox in the snow. And it says, first, my son, Don Jr. reached out. Then my team reached out. Then I reached out by email. We were convinced that you no longer use this email. That's why I even reached out to you by mail four times, even in the snow, even in the snow. What state are you in where it's snowing? What are you even talking about? And then they ask for money. So that's what's going on. Cruel and unusual regime. I should just share this with you, where the White House stole Sabrina Carpenter, the pop star's music, to make one of their anti-immigrant propaganda videos where they're torturing and terrorizing the immigrant population. Sabrina Carpenter said, this video is evil and disgusting. Don't ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. And as of this recording, it got 41 million views, way more, but like 41 million more views than what the White House did. No wonder 18 to 29 year olds are one of the biggest groups moving away from this Trump regime. As I said, make sure we make sure you subscribe, please.
