And when the war was going terrible for Saddam Hussein, and things were just objectively terrible, there Baghdad Bob would be on TV every day holding press conferences saying, Saddam Hussein has never been stronger. We've never been better off. And we looked at that as so pathetic, right? And we would make fun of it. There would be Saturday Night Live skits on it. We made jokes about that behavior. Well, that's what Fox has become. In fact, I think Baghdad Bob would be jealous of the type of fawning that Donald Trump gets from these Fox hosts. Objectively, Donald Trump has had some of

the most atrocious appearances imaginable. I don't care what political party you're from. Donald Trump's brain looks literally fried. He can't complete sentences. So instead he goes, I'm doing the weave. I go from this topic to that topic. I just weave. Then there was an event where he just stopped it 25 minutes in, in Oaks, Pennsylvania. And he was like, you know what? I hate taking questions. Let's just play music. And then for 39 minutes, he just bobbed his head as music was playing. And I know corporate media wants to sane wash this and Fox is going to act like this is the strongest stuff ever, but how pathetic can you get? So just take a look right here. I'm going to show you Laura Ingraham's coverage.

I'm going to show you Sean Hannity's coverage. And I'm going to show you what the media should be covering and how it should be done. So here, Laura Ingraham, you see the chyron. Trump takes Bloomberg editor to school. As Aaron Rupert said, it's upside down world on Laura Ingraham's show. So Donald Trump did this interview at the Chicago Economic Club. It was sponsored by Bloomberg. Donald Trump would be asked very basic questions and then Donald Trump would attack the interviewer and then not complete coherent sentences. And then say, but I passed cognitive exams. I passed cognitive exams.

And then he would just be asked questions about Google and he would talk about voting in Virginia. He couldn't complete sentences. Like, let's just say it like it is. He couldn't say words and add up the words to have a sentence when you put the period at the end of it to making a sentence, yet alone actually talk about policy or things. But here's Laura Ingraham saying, you know, look, not many people can do this. He goes there, no notes, and lays out the intricacies of U.S. trade policy. Watch this. Now, how many politicians can step out on stage with no notes and lay out the intricacies of U.S. trade policy, the Federal Reserve, interest rates, etc., with a hostile reporter. Now, I can count how many people can do that on like one hand. Right. Baghdad Bob would be jealous. Here's Sean Hannity that goes, and he goes, this is one of the all-time greatest moments we've ever seen in presidential history right here.

Look at what Sean Hannity says here. Play this clip. So in one of his greatest all-time moments on the campaign trail, former President Donald Trump absolutely schooled Bloomberg's editor-in-chief today during a live appearance at the Economic Club of Chicago. Despite things getting a little heated at times, Trump frankly masterfully navigated the situation, laid out what was a clear vision for American prosperity. Let's take a look. Laura Ingraham was not done. She goes, this was the most beautiful thing I've ever watched. Here, play this clip. He went through Mr. Bloomberg with the British accent like a hot

knife through butter. It was a beautiful thing to watch. Okay, so let's show. I just want to, I don't care what political party you're from. I just want to be on the same page that this was not the most beautiful thing to watch, that this was not the greatest moment on a campaign trail, and this was not some command of intricacies of anything. So the reporter asked Donald Trump, should Google be broken up? And Donald Trump starts talking about getting rid of thousands of bad votes in Virginia. Here, play this clip. Should Google be broken up? I just haven't gotten over something the Justice Department did yesterday, where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls

and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes and the Justice Department sued them that they should be allowed to put those bad votes and illegal votes back in and let the people vote. So I haven't gotten over that. A lot of people have seen that. They can't even believe it. The question is about Google, President Trump.

Donald Trump is then asked about his communications with Putin. And then Donald Trump says it would be very smart for him to have secret communications with Vladimir Putin. By the way, that's a violation of the law. And again, I don't care what political party you're from. We as Americans should be completely both angry, horrified, dismayed that someone's having secret communications with Putin. Someone who also stole our nuclear secrets. Like, again, what has America become? Here, play this from the interview. These are big things I have to mention.

Yeah, you just mentioned Putin, though. There's been this controversy the past week. Can you say yes or no, whether you have talked to Vladimir Putin since you stopped being president? Well, I don't comment on that, but I will tell you that if I did, it's a smart thing. If I'm friendly with people, if I have a relationship with people, that's a good thing, not a bad thing in terms of a country. He's got 2000 nuclear weapons and so do we. China has a lot less, but they'll catch us within five years. That sounds very much like you did talk to him. I don't talk about that. You talk about talking to Netanyahu, you talk about talking to all these people. And here you'll see Donald Trump talks about how he weaves, where he just says a bunch

of words and doesn't actually complete a sentence. Play this clip. You've got to be able to finish a thought because it's very important. You know, this is big stuff we're talking about. You can't go that quickly. You've gone from the dollar to the micro. So let me just tell you. So I said, no, I'm just telling you basic, it's called the weave. It's all these different things happening. So let me just say. So I said to Mnuchin. And here he is bragging about passing cognitive exams.

Let's play it. No, that would bother me. But, you know, I took two cognitive tests and I aced them both. I think that, frankly, people regardless should take if they're 50 or 40 or I think people should take cognitive tests, not because of the age, but because of something else. Now, here's the problem. They say it's unconstitutional. OK, but I would love to see cognitive tests. I don't think she could pass a cognitive test. I mean, I've watched, I don't think she could pass a cognitive test. President Trump, you've gone over many issues on this. I asked you many questions about things. One thing. So in all seriousness, again, this isn't a political thing. I'm just asking you from your own common sense. does that look like someone

who's commanded the intricacies? By the way, if you want to go watch the full thing, go watch the full thing. In fact, it gets worse than what I just shared with you. And I have limited time in these videos, so I'm not going to go over the whole thing, but it looks like someone with dementia. It looks like someone with Alzheimer's. It looks like someone who would be in an assisted living facility, you know, ranting and raving and that needs actual care. Like that's what I'm observing.

Here, Laura Ingraham then talks about what Donald Trump did the previous night in Oaks with this music playing. Here, let me show you this. Yeah, Ryan, this was something to behold. This is after the big buildup, the Trump's on hinge.

He played too much music at a rally. Then he goes up there and he just stuns everybody in that place. Now, let me show you from Oaks, Pennsylvania. I'm going to show you, I'm going to play devil's advocate and hear what Donald Trump, it's truly devil's advocate. I'm going to give you the best part of Oaks, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump's town hall, where he actually engaged with a question. So he's asked here by an individual, what can you do to help small businesses? And then Donald Trump's response is something about you can't use hydrogen cars because you'll get blown up and no one will recognize you. Here, play the clip. My question is, what's your plan to help bring common sense back and help small businesses? businesses. So great. The fact is that, you know, they want to get away from gas. And I have friends

they're into the cooking world. I'm not. I just like to eat. But they're into the cooking. And I don't know how you feel. It sounds like you they feel that you really gas is much better than the electric for cooking. Right. And they have this thing about, you know, they want to put gas out of business. Right. No gas. You know, the amazing thing, we don't have electric in this country, but we have all the gas you can use. We have all the, we have oil and gas. That's what we have. And even the cars, if you look, they want to go with all electric cars.

California's having blackouts every week, brownouts, blackouts. And then they come up with rules and regulation to go to all electric, but they can't even supply what they have. It's so nuts. We're going to get number one, your utility cost. You heard me say it before. Your cost will be down and we're getting rid of all the electric. If you want electric, great. And if you want gas, great. The only thing you can't have is a hydrogen car, right? You heard me say that, right? Because you know what happens? They have a new car. They say it's great, but it's got one problem. You know what the problem is? Every once in a while, one will blow up. And if it does blow up and you happen to be inside of it, you're in bad luck because you're not recognizable.

Do you know that? It's the new thing, hydrogen. I said, no, thank you. I don't want it. I don't want they call the wife. That's not my husband. Oh, yes, it is. It's no good. Then Donald Trump said, let's not do any more questions. I want to play music, play this clip. Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music. Let's make it into our music. Who the hell wants to hear questions? Isn't that beautiful? That's so beautiful. We played that in Butler, Pennsylvania. We had a moment of silence and then we had the bells of Notre Dame go off. And then we had a great opera singer, Christopher, who was so incredible and a great, great opera singer.

And then when people are fainting, Donald Trump says more people need to faint so you can lose weight. Play the clip. And we can spend a little more time. Yes. Personally, I enjoy this you can lose weight. Play the clip. And we can spend a little more time. Yes. Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight. You know, no, you lose weight. We could do this, lose four or five pounds. It's okay with me. Kamala Harris. But some people have been waiting here for two days for this. So, you know, it's a little bit, it's a little bit tough. It's a little bit tough, but they're going to try and get those doors open. Yes. And I don't know whose building this is, but if they had air conditioning, do you see any air conditioning?

They probably can't afford it, sir, in this economy. That's right. They don't want to give us air conditioning. It's too expensive. It costs too much. Anyway, but they're both okay. Yes. They're both in good shape.

That's wonderful. Would anybody else like to faint? Please raise your hand. Let's do it now. Please raise your hand. And here, Kristi Noem, who's the governor of South Dakota, she says, you want to hear your favorite songs? Should we keep play your music? You want me to play the song that you like?

I mean, it's just like that. Here, play this clip. Anyway, go ahead, please. Well, sir, do you want to play your song and then greet a few people or do you want to? Well, you had said you wanted to close with a specific song. Okay, let's do a couple of fast questions. So Justin, how about a couple of really beauties and we'll sit down, relax. Let me just give you the bottom line though.

So Fox is doing that. Then you have Greg Gutfeld on Fox saying that, you know, real men will not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. If you're a real man, you have to vote for misogyny. You have to vote for attacking the LGBTQ like. That's what men are. This thing, whatever they're doing, whether it is a tampon Tim or what the ads it's that's not men, a real man, real outreach. What you're doing is you're treating men again, like a face, a faceless mass, a group that you can exploit just like the Dems do with blacks and women and And no real this with an exception to you, Harold, although I don't really believe you're for for what's her face, Kamala. I just can't believe it because no real man on Earth has a problem defining a woman. No real man on Earth says you can have a penis and be female. There's no real man that believes you should be

teaching like anal sex to kids. No real man think it's fair to put like muscular men up against females in sports or put male sex offenders in female prison prisoners just because they happen to grow their hair out. You know, you're not a man if you ascribe to any of that. And if you vote for Kamala, you are voting for that. That's why I know, Harold, you are not a man if you ascribe to any of that. And if you vote for Kamala, you are voting for that. That's why I know, Harold, you are not voting for Kamala. I am going to bet I want to see you take a picture of the ballot because I don't believe you're going to do it. I think you're going to vote third party. Greg Gutfeld.

Write it in. In your face. Voting for. I want to share this with you colin all red who destroyed ted cruz in the debate i did a whole video on that here's colin all red though and i asked him about you know fox and these magas and trump trying to talk about alpha this alpha that now colin all red democratic congress member for texas running for for Senate in Texas, star football player at Baylor University. He was a five-time, he played five seasons in the NFL. And watch what he says to me about Alpha.

Play this clip. Ted Cruz would not last a second in a locker room. He would not last a second in an NFL locker room or my college locker room because we could spot guys like him a locker room. He would not listen second in an NFL locker room or my college locker room, because we could spot guys like him a mile away. We called them me guys. The me guys were the ones who were always looking out for themselves first, who didn't care about the team, who thought that they were just that they're, you know, they were hot stuff. And they were also the ones who we'd always find a way to kind of get them, chew them up and spit them out because we couldn't have them on our teams. And when I was captain of the football team at Baylor,

and if I ever saw somebody like that, I'd go right at them. I'd go right at them until I broke down whatever was causing them to think they were so special and make them to get on board with the rest of us because we're trying to do something together that's not about you. And we all have to remember that we are part of a cohesive community. As John Lewis used to tell us, we might've come here on different ships, but we're all in the same boat now. We're all Americans. And when you have leaders who think that they're more important than this entire project, a 250 year project that all of us, over 300 million of us are a part of, then you have to make sure that they are no longer in positions of leadership.

And so we got less than 40 days here. And I want everyone to know that here in Texas, we can make sure we get rid of Ted Cruz. So get involved with us. Go to ColinAlroy.com. If you're in Texas, make a plan to vote. Check your voter registration status. Make sure you get out to vote.

We can do this. And let me kind of leave you with these two videos. The first I want to show you is what Donald Trump did today as well. Donald Trump is announcing one of his new scams. This is a crypto scam. He made a video of himself. He's now moved on from NFTs to crypto scams. Play this clip.

Big news. The World Liberty Financial token sale is now live. Crypto is the future. Let's embrace this incredible technology and lead the world in digital economy. Go to worldlibertyfinancial.com. And here's what I want to show you what I think the news should be covering. And this is where we focus our editorial lens on at the Midas Touch Network. Now, federal retired judge, Judge Luddig, he's as conservative, by traditional words, conservative as you get. When I was in law school, he was like the godfather of conservative

judges, part of the Federalist Society. I mean, he was what conservative once was before it took this darker mutation turn. And so I found all of this common ground with Judge Luddig and Legal AF has Judge Luddig on now weekly. And Judge Luddig, who's got all the experience in the world, you'll never really find a smarter jurist out there than Judge Luddig. There are so many Supreme Court justices who clerked for Luddig. A lot of the conservative movement judges started clerking with Luddig. And so it's a smart guy. And what we try to do here on the Midas Touch Network is speak to people who have that level of intelligence to tell us the stakes. So watch this, please. These are intensely personal decisions, and you've heard me talk about them in that way. But this decision on November 5th is not about politics, Michael.

It's first, it's about country. It's about America. It's about America. It's about the United States of America. But second, Michael, it is about who we are individually and then who we are as a nation. It's intensely personal. And I don't believe that there's very many Republican officials who would dare think of it that way for fear that Kamala Harris is more liberal than they are and her policies will be more liberal and to forget, completely forget and ignore

all that Donald Trump has done on and since January 6th, 2021, as if it never happened at all, Michael, that's what these Republicans are doing. And as you've heard me say, they're cowards, whether they're political cowards, moral cowards, or both. They're cowards. And let me leave you with these stats because the White House account posted it. Over the past four years, 16 million new jobs have been created, the lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 years. Inflation is down. Incomes are up nearly $4,000. 19 million new businesses created.

The American economy remains strong under President Biden. Those are just objective facts. I want to live in an objective reality together with you, and we have to repel this propaganda. One way we're going to do it is build up this YouTube channel together and call out the propaganda. That's why we expose it. Yeah, these videos sometimes take a little bit of time to get through, but it's worth it because this is the facts. These are the facts and we care about facts and data. Hit subscribe.
