Instacart, groceries that over-deliver. So as Vice President Kamala Harris continues to lead Donald Trump in the major polls, including
Fox's own poll, the memo that went out at Fox for the day was attack the way Vice President
Kamala Harris speaks and say on air that she should be speaking more like an Indian woman
and less like a black woman. Not making this up. This was what Fox was saying all day as they
continue to lose all control and spiral. So you see the chyron right there, a cringy way she's
speaking. Now, Jesse Waters says it more explicitly. Here's what the Fox host Jesse
Waters has to say. Play this clip. Kamala was raised by an Indian mother
in Canada, but now she sounds like Fannie Willis. And then the Fox host in the White House briefing
room, Ducey, asked the question to the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre,
about why Vice President Kamala Harris speaks the way she does. And press secretary Karine
Jean-Pierre is
like, do you realize that's the stupidest question you could possibly be asking me?
We're like, are you listening to the questions that you're asking? Here, play this clip.
Since when does the Vice President have what sounds like a Southern accent?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Well, I mean talking about unions in Detroit using one tone of voice.
Is this something that you think...
Same line.
Okay, Peter.
She used the same line in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like she at least had some kind of a Southern drawl.
I mean, do you hear the question that you're...
I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question?
You know what they care about?
They care about the economy.
They care about lowering costs.
They care about health care.
That's what Americans care about.
That's what they want to hear.
They care about, your colleague just asked me about, basically we talked about, went back and forth about democracy and freedom.
That's what they care about.
I'm not even going to entertain some question about the press.
It's just it's just hearing it sounds so ridiculous.
Well, but hearing it is the question I'm talking about.
The questions is is just insane.
Is that how she talks in meetings?
I'm just Peter.
We're moving on.
We're still moving on.
Go ahead, Anita. Thanks. So then Fox knows that Donald Trump is getting crushed on the PR stunt that he tried to pull
at Arlington Cemetery, where his campaign physically attacked an Army Cemetery staff
member and then called that staff member mentally ill.
So here is Jesse Waters trying to let all the Fox viewers know that there's no even issue in Arlington Cemetery.
Just a mentally ill woman.
Now, that is every one of these shows with Jesse Waters, the misogyny that we see at Fox.
Unadulterated and disgusting.
Play this clip.
Well, wherever Donald Trump goes, he's being filmed.
Just like wherever Biden goes, there's film crews there. Just like McCain was filmed there, just like
other politicians. You've seen those things used in campaign ads. Now, in terms of the incident,
there was no incident. From what I understand, a woman had a mental issue. And I don't know if it
was TDS or it was something else, but it was handled and it was minor. And that was it.
This is because MSNBC went buck wild because they have nothing else to cover.
Because everything Trump does, they have to make a scandal.
Then you have Jeanine Pira, one of the other hosts on Fox, also attack the Army cemetery
worker for enforcing the rules that there shouldn't be campaign PR stunts at section 60 in
Arlington cemetery and Janine Piro says you either press charges or shut the F up.
That's what Janine Piro says here, play this clip.
And in the end, this so-called, apparent altercation that took place at
Arlington national cemetery that Kamala's
trying to twist into, you know, Donald Trump, his team, he caused a real problem. You know what?
If there was an altercation, get yourself an affidavit that's sworn to, file yourself some
criminal charges or shut the F up because the families want you to shut the F up.
And now again, one of the things that I think we've lost sight of,
but I always like to bring it up here on the Midas Touch Network,
is just the language and behavior of these people.
I mean, first off, the reason why that army staff member is not coming forward
and pressing the charges because they know that she, like the judges and the jurors
and the court staff and the prosecutors, would get attacked and have death threats and their
life would be destroyed by MAGA, who engages in stochastic terrorism. But again, just take a look
at the language that's used by Trump and MAGA. Like when Donald Trump said that if he was in office,
he would indict the mother effa.
And he said it like that.
But he said the curse.
Here, listen, play the clip.
And you don't like somebody,
or if somebody's beating you by 10, 15, or 20 points,
like we're doing with Crooked Joe Biden,
let's indict the motherfucker.
Let's hit that.
Or Donald Trump goes to churches and curses. He encourages kids at churches to curse.
And then this is him at a church in Arizona as kids and their parents are chanting BS,
but saying the curse word.
Here, play this clip.
So they come up with something that's fake, just like everything else they do.
It's all fake.
The impeachments are fake.
The court cases are a disgrace to our country.
Everything is fake.
So they come up with this order.
I won't say it because I don't like using the word bullshit in front of these beautiful
children. So I won't say it. I will not say it. But this thing allows millions of people. Okay, sorry for that digression over there.
Let me get back into this.
So then you had MAGA Republican Claudia Tenney.
She's talking about the 2020 election being rigged.
Again, 2024, what the MAGA Republicans are talking about is the 2020 election being unfair, where Donald
Trump lost by millions and millions of votes, got destroyed in the electoral college, and
they're still here in 2024 whining about it.
Whining.
Here, play the clip.
Even worse, Maria, is coordinating with these nonprofit Democrat groups in order to get
Democrat votes in the box.
And once those ballots are cast, there is no going back,
which I'm really glad that Lara Trump and Chairman Watley are working on getting our voters out
and working on making sure that we have people at the polls
so that this election doesn't get taken like it did in 2020,
using the apparatus of the IRS, tax deductions, and also this not-for-profit status.
So we've got to end this now, including passing the SAVE Act, by the way, which you know has
been controversial. You've talked about it on your show. What is controversial about having
citizens vote in a country like ours? It's actually illegal under the New York Constitution,
and voting is actually something that is the domain of citizens, not non-citizens.
Have you heard of NAD+, it's a molecule in every cell of your body and it's critical to aging well.
NAD+, helps keep us feeling youthful by promoting cellular energy,
maintaining healthy DNA, using nutrients efficiently and supporting detoxification.
By age 50, most people's NAD+, levels are only half of what they were at age 20.
Falling NAD plus levels is a major reason that signs of aging start to accelerate.
Luckily, science has discovered a way to boost your NAD plus levels up to 50%.
It's called Qualia NAD plus, a groundbreaking supplement from Qualia.
Many doctors and health experts over age 30 use Qualia NAD Plus themselves, and I'm proud
to have them sponsor this episode.
NAD Plus is a large molecule that struggles to be bioavailable if you supplement it directly.
That's why Qualia NAD Plus supports NAD Plus the right way by including ingredients called
NAD Plus precursors that your body can convert into
NAD plus to boost your body's own NAD plus production up to 50%. That's great. These are
vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free ingredients like niacin, niacinamide, niagin, also known as NR.
These are three of the most well-researched NAD plus precursors,
and all three are in Qualia NAD plus to maximize your body's NAD plus production. Qualia NAD plus
is clinically tested and naturopathic doctor formulated. Look, I want to feel decades younger
than my actual age. That's why I'm staying at the cutting edge of aging research
and boosting my NAD plus levels with Qualia NAD plus. After just a month of Qualia NAD plus,
I'm feeling energy support and vitality return that I haven't felt in years. So to boost your
NAD plus levels up to 50%, go to qualialife.com slash Jordy. I love that. For up to 50% off and

So then you finally have Laura Ingraham who brings on JD Vance.
It's a perpetual reputation rehab that Fox is trying to do for this guy.
His net negatives are he's the least popular VP in American history, least popular VP pick.
He's hated.
He's loathed.
American people think that he's strange and weird.
And he says really strange and weird things.
He's just a bad dude who just tries to divide us. And he's
not even good at being a bad dude. He's bad at being a bad dude. That's the best way to describe
J.D. Vance. But here, J.D. Vance is like, I'm not even paying attention to the polls. They're just
trying to make it seem like I'm not popular. So I just I don't even pay attention to it. Here,
play the clip. Senator, people, I guess they do these polls and they say, oh, your favorability isn't as high as Tim Walz's.
You know, there's a gender gap for your ticket compared to Harris and Walz.
How do you go to the undecideds at this point?
The shrinking pool of people and convince them that not only are you serious and you're seriously smart,
but you're a regular person. I've known you for a long time.
You're really fun.
You're really funny.
Versus the giggle and vibe show that seems to work for a lot of women voters out there.
You know, Laura, my approach to this is just to get out there and meet as many people as possible.
And I know this is Donald Trump's approach, too.
We don't do the scripted stuff. We don't only speak in front of a
teleprompter. We actually like to get out there and give some unscripted remarks, some press
conferences, and also just go out there and talk to people. And that's what I'm going to keep on
doing, Laura. I don't put much stock in the polls, even the polls that show us ahead. And there are
a lot of those these days. What I put stock in is the wisdom of the american people and the fact that if we go out there make our case don't hide behind a
teleprompter but get out there and meet people the american people are going to elect me and
donald trump i have no doubt about that we just have to do our work and we've got 65 days to do it
then one of the things that you know trump and jd vance and this new mega republican party tried to
do they try to crash the economy remember donald trump makes all of these posts saying it's a that Trump and J.D. Vance and this new MAGA Republican Party tried to do. They tried to
crash the economy. Remember, Donald Trump makes all of these posts saying, it's a depression.
We're going in panic, panic, all of these things. I told you it was going to happen, right?
Donald Trump ordered the MAGA Republicans to kill a bipartisan border deal. Donald Trump
threatens the chairman of the Federal Reserve not to lower interest rates.
At all corners, Donald Trump engages in statements that roots against America because he thinks
that if Americans suffer, that's a winning issue for someone who wants to be an authoritarian.
So you just blame everything.
Meanwhile, I mean, take a look at the Trump media stock.
Trump media is down to like $17 or $18 a share now. It was down 8 points, 8% yesterday
rather. I mean, imagine if that was the American economy right now, like Trump media down 55 to 65%
in the past six months. Well, anyway, one of the things that MAGA is doing, and you see J.D. Vance
here, is saying that the military would not even want to serve under
vice president Kamala Harris. And again, what is the horrible
traitorous treasonous thing to say? Here, play this clip.
So if you're a person thinking about joining the military,
you're probably not going to want to sign up if Kamala Harris is the potential commander in chief.
Right, I mean, take that and compare that to what
someone with dignity like John McCain said when he was running for office and someone said crazy stuff. He's like, no, President Obama at that time, candidate Obama is a great man, stop it.
Here, play the clip. I can't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's not, he's not, he's a, he's an Arab.
He is not.
No, no, no, ma'am.
No, ma'am.
He's a, he's a, he's a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with
on, on fundamental issues.
And that's what this campaign is all about.
He's not.
Thank you.
That's the politics that I wanna go back to.
And by the way, Jim McCain, John McCain,
the late John McCain's son, Jim McCain,
he spoke on CNN about why he's endorsing
Vice President Kamala Harris.
Let's play this.
I mean, I think the Arizona Republican Party
is trying to express what they believe is the best.
I mean, they did censor my mother
and my entire family out of it. So, you know, they're choosing the best. I mean, they did censor my mother and my entire family
out of it. So, you know, they're choosing the path that they want to go. But I think one of
the main points of switching over and coming over has been, you know, like I said, I think,
I feel that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz embody a group of people that will help make this country
better, that will take us forward. And that's really what matters at the end of the day is, you know, voting with your heart, voting how you
feel going forward. And that's how I feel.
Oh, there was that one other moment in Laura Ingraham where she talks about J.D. Vance
and whether his best prop is his beard. But I think she's talking about his wife, Yusha.
Here play this clip.
Vance, will you clear this up tonight for everyone watching? Is your beard your best prop?
Well- Here, J.D. Vance again,
trying to turn the military against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. I mean,
so pathetic, play this clip. And I think that if we wanna fix that recruitment problem,
the best thing we can do is reelect Donald J. Trump. People trust his leadership. They also know that a military led
by Donald Trump is about what unites us as Americans. And it's not about this ridiculous
division of Kamala Harris. And, you know, after showing you bad journalism, I want to give a hat
tip to Washington Week on the Atlantic. They have a great program. And this was just I mean,
I thought it was a great job here. Here, play the clip. I'll call it plainly a double standard
that we have in this campaign. We're sitting here parsing, as we should, what the Democratic
nominee for president says in an interview, how she answers questions about a whole range of
subjects. Meanwhile, this is what Donald Trump had to say this week.
Groceries, food has gone up at levels that nobody's ever seen before. We've never seen
anything like it. 50, 60, 70 percent. You take a look at bacon and some of these products and
some people don't eat bacon anymore. And we are going to get the energy prices down. When we get energy down, you know, this was caused by their horrible energy.
Wind, they want wind all over the place.
But when it doesn't blow, we have a little problem.
Here's the thing. I'll make this observation. I'll own it.
If Kamala Harris went from bacon to wind in her interview with Dan and Bash. She would this morning not be, the next morning,
she would not be the nominee of the Democratic Party.
That would have been very, very strange.
People would have been like, what is going on?
Do we just have an absurdly low standard now
for the things that Donald Trump says and does?
Thanks for watching that.
Thanks for watching this.
Let's get to 4 million subscribers together. 4 million. Thanks for watching.. Thanks for watching this. Let's get to 4 million subscribers together.
4 million. Thanks for watching. Have a good day.
