Shownotes Transcript

- Donald Trump is clearly having the worst transition in, I think, presidential history. He is nuking himself 'cause all he knows how to do is destroy. Just take a look at the fake agency, the make-believe agency that he came up with. Doge, or I should say Elon Musk, his co-president, and Vivek Ramaswamy came up with. They are bragging about firing millions of people who work for the federal government,

who do jobs that actually deliver services to we, the people. This is what Vivek Ramaswamy, MAGA Republican, is bragging about today. He goes, I'm hearing via allies that federal government unions are scrambling to update their collective bargaining agreements to avoid getting fired. The prospect of being asked to return to the office five days a week

like most working Americans, apparently has them in tears. So for all of the unions or the union workers who are like, they got our back. No, they're actually literally mocking you right now. Also, from a new New York Times piece, Donald Trump plans to stop issuing citizenship-affirming documents.

like passports and social security cards to infants born on domestic soil to undocumented migrant parents and a bid to end birthright citizenship. So for all of the people out there who were like, no, not my abuelita,

no, they're not coming for us. There's some family values exception. No, they are coming for you. And Tom Homan, Donald Trump's border czar, went on the news and made his intentions very clear. Here's what Tom Homan said earlier today. Play this clip. We have seen one estimate that says it would cost $88 billion to deport a million people a year. I don't know if that's accurate or not.

Is that what American taxpayers should expect? What price do you put on national security? Is that worth it? Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families? Of course there is. Families can be deported together.

This is what the Trump transition is spending their time doing. I think they want to attack every single American other than maybe their kind of core MAGA base, who, by the way, they're still attacking, but perhaps they're too delulue to realize that's what's going on. Here's the newest one here from the New York Times. Trump allies...

Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid food stamps in tax legislation. Republican leaders looking for ways to offset the cost of lower taxes are considering changes to safety net programs for the poor. So in other words, in order to offset the enormous cost for their tax cuts for billionaires,

Trump advisors and congressional Republicans are now in discussions about cutting your Social Security, cutting your Medicaid, cutting food stamps, cutting other programs that Americans rely on so that the billionaires...

can get more benefits right here. Meanwhile, you have Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell signaling to others in the Senate that under no circumstances should they allow Donald Trump to have unfettered recess appointments, meaning RFK Jr., Matt Gaetz, Peter Hegseth, Kristi Noem,

All of these individuals need to go before the Senate and they need to be grilled. They need to be asked questions. Oh, but by the way, the type of questions Matt Gaetz should be asked,

Well, what's in that ethics report? In addition, what we're learning is that Matt Gaetz apparently took the girls to Fox News to watch him. He would traffic them, according to sources, ABC's reporting, to watch him at Fox News. He brought him to the Broadway play Pretty Woman. The lawyer for the girls went on CNN and talked about how Matt Gaetz would use his purported adopted son Nestor's phone to

as a way to Venmo the money to the girls that he was trafficking? Well, let's take a look here, by the way. A new report from ABC is that Trump has confirmed reports that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military and use the military to enact his bloody mass deportation program.

You mean exactly what we were reporting here on the Midas Touch Network that he was going to do? Wait a minute. For someone who claims he didn't know what Project 2025's plans were, he seems to be implementing each and every one of them as we said he was going to do. In terms of the complete cluster you-know-what that is MAGA as well, I kid you not right now.

According to Pornhub, MAGA tops the charts in searches during the 2024 election. Specifically, MAGA supporters in Florida continue to search MAGA nudes. What in the world there? What?

In any event, also MAGA Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace say that they are going to be introducing new legislation that will ban trans women from Capitol bathrooms.

And specifically, when they were asked how they intend to check out who is qualified to use the ladies' room, they just spewed a bunch of anti-trans rhetoric. Should also be noted, as the K-File at CNN reports, Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin, ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824.

Four Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried compared to zero in 2016 and 2020. The GOP is poised for its smallest House majority since the US had 50 states. And you just take a look here, one of the smallest electoral victories ever that Donald Trump just had. One of the top analysts at Citibank, Rob Rowe,

talks about how he's predicting a recession because the markets are shifting from political uncertainty to policy uncertainty. Now, why would the markets be shifting to policy uncertainty when you're naming people who may be compromised by Russia as

to be the Director of National Intelligence at Tulsa Gabbard, a potential sex trafficker in Matt Gaetz to be the Attorney General, someone by the name of Peter Hegseth, a Fox News weekend host who allegedly paid off a woman who accused him of sexual assault from 2017, a Fox News host with zero experience to become the Secretary of Defense, Kristi Noem, a dog killer who killed her dog Cricket, who

Who would have thought that the markets would think that there's uncertainty there? By the way, as Vladimir Putin continues to laugh at Donald Trump and show nudes of Melania on Russian state-sponsored TV, yeah, Donald Trump, who ran on a – who said, I'm going to protect your women, maga men. I'm going to – whether they like it or not, I'm protecting women, has –

The Russian authoritarian leader is showing nudes of his own wife. I mean, first off, how pathetic can you be as a man to say, oh, I need Donald Trump to help protect my wife. That's what I need. I need Donald Trump to help protect my wife. As Vladimir Putin, by the way, is showing nudes of Donald Trump's wife. I mean, you can't even make this stuff up, folks.

Meanwhile, Fox has their top surrogates representing the MAGA movement. Who are the leaders? Are they renowned generals or top scientists or the top diplomats or, oh no, it's Hulk Hogan and they go on Laura Ingraham and Laura Ingraham's question is, can you do the Trump dance Hulk? Can you do the Donald Trump dance Hulk, Hulkamania? Here, play this clip. Can you do the Trump dance for us, please? I want to see you do it.

You got it. You got the gun still, Hulk. I love it.

Again, as I said before, the Washington Post is also reporting that President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that his plan for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants will involve a national emergency declaration and the military. In other words, what Donald Trump's going to do is he's going to invoke the 1798 act.

Alien Enemies Act, and he's going to knock on door to door and find people. This is what their plan is. And take away Abuelita, take away Tio and Tia, take away all your family members. They're going to do worksite raids. So if you got family members who are undocumented, who happen to be working,

Many are paying taxes and have been paying taxes, working in restaurants, working in the fields, working in theaters, working in construction and homes, working in real, whatever it is. They're going to do worksite raids and rip families apart, rip them apart. We told you that was going to happen. Did we tell you that was going to happen? That's what Trump's saying is going to happen. By the way, if you're saying, but Ben,

You're going to do play the clip or you're going to play the, I don't do that. As I said before, I'm not playing Trump clips. I'm not playing his audio. I'm not, I don't want to hear his voice. I don't want to see him on video. So I'm not playing it. Okay. You can go back and watch other videos where I show the clips and he says those things. I'm not playing them here as well. So I mentioned this Matt Gaetz bringing the girls he trafficked to see Broadway plays and go to Fox's.

Wow. Wow. That's who they picked as our attorney general. Someone with credible allegations against him as a sex trafficker. But then again, Donald Trump was found liable for sexual assault. Donald Trump was found liable. Donald Trump was on tape partying with Epstein. He's all over Epstein's phone logs and plane logs. There were Epstein tapes released before the election that the corporate media wouldn't bother playing before the election.

Melania, Melania Trump, $99.99. Take a look right here. You can get your own shop now, your Melania figurine right there. Oh, and now lots of MAGA people are in the FAFO stage, the F around and find out stage. Wait a minute, they're having these conversations on Truth Social. Wait, wait a minute, what? China doesn't pay the tariffs, we pay the tariffs, what? What's going on? Yeah.

Yeah, you pay the tariffs. We pay the tariffs, not China. Anyway, Sean Hannity had a whole segment as well as what he calls the Doge cheat sheet. He says, we're just going to get rid of all the agencies. All of them.

destroy him, we're gonna get rid of everything. Here, play this clip. - An op-ed in the Wall Street Journal recommended that they start by tossing the Federal Communications Commission, the FTC, the SEC, the Department of Agriculture, the Postal Service. Yeah, give it to UPS, give it to anybody.

Except them, the Labor Department, HUD, the Interior Department, the VA. Yeah, vets need the money. Give it directly to them. And of course the EPA, just to name a few. Now keep in mind the Department of Education is also very much on the cutting board. - Speaking of the Doge fake make-believe agency that Donald Trump just created. By the way, the Doge agency masquerades as a official government agency on Twitter.

They pretend that they're an official government. Just think about it. The small government parties creating fake government agencies to control our lives. Oh, man. Can't make this stuff up. But Elon Musk is having apparently massive blowups with Donald Trump's other age, Boris Epstein, at dinner. Epstein's yelling at Musk. But then, of course, they go back to New York Post and the sources ever deny that that ever took place.

Oh, and then Donald Trump's campaign is scrubbing social media posts where they said the following about RFK Jr. They just went through and they just attacked RFK Jr. over and over. Now they're scrubbing all that because now they have to pretend they like RFK Jr. after Donald Trump said that RFK Jr. would destroy the country. Now they have to pretend they like RFK Jr. because they have no moral compass at all.

So to corporate media out there, you like the drama? Is this the drama you wanted? Is this what you wanted to inflict on we the people? Because we the people, we just wanted to go about our lives with our family. We want our social security and our Medicare or the Medicaid. We want programs that work for us. We just want to go on with our life without your craziness and your drama. But no corporate media. You couldn't report on this. You had to both sides it.

You couldn't give Biden credit where he deserved it. I'm fine for criticizing him, but you couldn't report accurately on the way the economy works. Is this the drama you want in corporate media? Joe, Mika, not Joe Biden, I'm talking about Joe Scarborough now. Joe Scarborough, Mika, are you happy you go to Mar-a-Lago right now and tell Donald Trump, tell Daddy Donald how you feel as he mocks you to your face? This is what you do? That's how you treat us?

Joe Scarborough and Mika, really? I like Morning Joe. Let me be very clear, Midas Mighty. We're going to report all the news fearlessly, truthfully, evidence-based. That's what we do here.
