Donald Trump was frantically spamming his supporters emails yesterday with emails like this. You want a Doge dividend check, Ben? Honk, honk, Ben. I got a MAGA bumper sticker. Hello. Hello. I have an important meeting alert from Trump. Do you want a Trump was right at? So that's what Donald Trump was doing while he was at Mar-a-Lago, vacationing once again, golfing once again. You had Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago. I don't know what the hell he's doing here, but this is the guy who's destroying our federal government and destroying the lives of veterans and destroying our pensions and life savings. Here, Elon Musk is.

What the hell is he doing? Elon, what the hell is he doing? Now, because of the Trump regime's devastating economic policies, not only are we expected to go into a deep recession, potentially have stagflation, low GDP with surging inflation. One of the things that JP Morgan now expects that based on this current trajectory with the way Donald Trump is dealing with tariffs, Japan, the EU and China will outperform the United States in the next 10 to 15 years. As Sean Broderick says, how about that for winning? And this is happening because of Donald Trump. We're seeing headlines like this when you wake up in the Trump regime in America. As Trump broadens crackdown, focus expands to legal immigrants and tourists. U.S. border

officials are using more aggressive tactics at ports of entry as the administration scrutinizes green card and visa holders who have expressed opposition to its policies. This is why we've seen in Canada, we've seen people in Europe and elsewhere across the world issue travel advisories to their citizens. If you go to the United States, you may end up in ICE detention centers or even in concentration camps in El Salvador. I'm going to do a whole other video on the situation with these migrants who were kidnapped by Donald Trump, and he claimed they

were Venezuelan gang members, and he sent them to concentration camps in El Salvador. We're hearing a lot of stories though that some of these individuals were not gang members. Also Trump sent women there and the concentration camps don't even take the women. So they were sent back to Venezuela where they were likely going to be harmed by the Maduro regime, which they were leaving. I'm going to do a whole video on a guy named Andres, who is a gay hairdresser from Venezuela, who was here legally asylum seeker. He had a tattoo, not a gang tattoo. He was about to go to his next asylum hearing where he was kidnapped by the Trump regime, shipped to El Salvador, where no one has heard from him again. I'll do a whole story on that. A photojournalist for Time Magazine did a whole story as well on that.

And if you connect the dots with this person's lawyer who was on Rachel Maddow, it seems to be that individual, Andres. Here's another scoop from the Washington Post. The Internal Revenue Service is nearing an agreement to allow the Department of Homeland Security to use tax data to get info on undocumented immigrants. Quote, a complete betrayal of 30 years of the government telling immigrants to file their taxes, one IRS official said. Now, remember that scoop with this scoop from the Washington Post as well, that tax revenue is expected to deficit to go up, up, up. And remember what I expected, that they were going to add $30 to $50 trillion to the deficit was my guess of what was going to go down. And because the IRS enforcement division is gutted, a lot of Donald Trump's billionaire friends are going to try to use all these tricks, not pay their taxes to screw over we the people

and you take that and who how else is donald trump using the irs to go after the immigrants who are actually paying their taxes the people who are working here not gang members not trend day araguas donald trump tries to claim all these individuals are terrorists no we're talking about hard-working Americans who pay their taxes that's who the Trump regime is going after horrible stuff no wonder though we're seeing these rallies and these protests grow across the country we cover them also on our sub stack MidasPluscom. We have Midas Mighty citizen journalists at these events taking photographs for us. Take a look at the ones we posted from the Windsor Detroit protests. We're going to be profiling different protests. Check that out. But take a look at the size of this rally in Denver. 34, 35,000 people showed up to see Bernie Sanders in AOC. Also yesterday,

we saw in Tucson, Arizona, about 25,000 people show up. The expectation was 3,000 people were going to show up. We're in a non-election year, and I think they're going to start filling stadiums of 50,000, 75,000 people soon because we, the people are pissed. It's not even a blue state, red state, red, blue, Democrat, Republican. These fricking oligarchs are destroying our lives. They're calling social security Ponzi schemes. You've got Donald Trump's commerce secretary saying that if you complain about missing

a social security check one month, that makes you a criminal. That makes you a fraud. What, Donald, does that make you also a trend day? Aragua gang member who you're going to send to freaking concentration camps in El Salvador. Is that what you're going to do? What a pathetic piece of regime this is. What a bunch of freaking grifter losers. It just pisses me off as I even talk

about it. I work myself up a bit talking about this and I'll try to keep it even keel. But these people are, I'll leave it at that. Speaking of which, Elon Musk says the following about his transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson. This is just what Elon Musk is posting throughout the day. My son Xavier died from the woke mind virus. That's how he refers to his transgender daughter. What a piece of crap these people are. You know, when I think about these MAGA Republicans, as they refer to the transgender Congresswoman from Delaware as the gentleman. I mean, why are you so evil? Why are these people such freaking bullies? For what? Just evil in their heart. And that's why at the Midas Touch Network, I so frequently talk not just about politics, but about empathy and being good people and fighting for fellow Americans and standing up. I'm sick and tired

of being like, oh, are you like the Joe Rogan of left? No, F Joe Rogan. He's a jerk. We're never going to in any way sacrifice our values. We're never going to punch down on this network. We're going to be who we always are. We're going to stand up for people loudly and proudly. That's what we do in this community, in the pro-democracy community. And that is how you have to appeal to American people, because if you're going to go down this Trump MAGA rabbit hole, you're just as bad as them. Anyway, you've got Senator Bernie Sanders here. Let me just share with you from his speech a part that really resonated with me. Let's play it.

At this particular moment in history, despair is not an option. Giving up is not acceptable. None of us have the privilege of hiding under the covers as much as we might want to do that. The stakes for us, for our kids, for future generations and for the planet is just too high. You know, and as all that's going on, like what is Donald Trump posting again? Like he keeps on posting this weird article from the sun that King Charles is making a secret offer to Donald Trump when Trump visits the UK. By the way, people in UK, why are you having this guy? You better, why are you having this guy there to begin with? Number one, by the way, I think Prime Minister Keir Starmer is doing a good job

with Ukraine. I think he's been, I think he's done actually an exceptional job with international diplomacy, like A plus. And I get why he, you know, what do they say? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. So I guess I get it from that perspective. But here's what Trump's posting about, that King Charles is making him a secret offer to make America a territory of the United Kingdom. I kid you not. That's what this article says. And then Trump says, good idea for America to have the monarchy. I think it's part of Trump's plan where Trump then thinks he can use that to make himself

a king once he makes the United States part of the. I don't. What the hell is he talking about? Can you just keep our Medicaid and keep our health care and not gut the Department of Education and stop bullying disabled kids and poor kids? Can we stop firing our veterans? I mean, how about that? By the way, I want to share this with you as well. Great piece here by PBS, which shows people who are outside the Nebraska town hall of a Republican

congressman, a congressman, a congressman who, to at least his credit, Congressmember Flood, at least held the town hall. play this clip there is no organized protest but in this deep red congressional district those here have deep-seated concern about president trump and elon musk so are we going to sit on the couch and let these billionaires control the country hell no i almost kind of want to cry it's just i don't see any hope okay where are you from columbus columbus contrary to some Republican claims that outside groups come to disrupt. He's from the congressional district. All of you are from the congressional district.

Has anyone been paid to be here? No. No one. I'm actually taking work off to be here. You're taking work off to be here. I'm losing money. Same here. We are the boss, not the president.

We are their constituents. You don't have to follow all of us, but we have to have a voice. And while all of this is going on, Elon Musk is posting memes like this. Just so we're clear, I voted for all of this. It reminds me of former President Biden's kind of final message on the dangers of oligarchy when things were normal. That's why my farewell address tonight. I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern.

This is a dangerous concert, and that's a dangerous concertation of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people. The dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. it before. More than a century ago, but the American people stood up to the robber barons back then and busted the trusts. They didn't punish the wealthy. This made the wealthy pay by play by the rules everybody else had. So let me show you one more clip here from Senator Sanders. Let's play it. Now, I don't care if you're a conservative Republican or a progressive. Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man, Musk, can put $270 million to get Trump elected? And then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government. That is not democracy, that is oligarchy.

But it's not just Republicans. You got billionaire Democrats who are telling candidates, don't stand up for the working class. So we've got a corrupt campaign finance system. We got to get rid of this terrible Citizens United Supreme Court decisions. And finally, to all of our Maple Midas out there, Midas Maple, our Canadian supporters, I just got to highlight Mark Carney's video right here. It's exceptional with Mike Myers. Elbows up.

Play the clip. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. Mr. Prime Minister? Mike Myers? What are you doing here? I just thought I'd come up and check on things. You live in the States? Yeah, but I'll always be Canadian. But you live in the States?

Yeah, so? Do you remember Mr. Dress-Up, the children's show on CBC? What were the names of Mr. Dress-Up's two puppet friends? Casey and Finnegan? Budda. Spud. Howie. Meeker.

Capitalist Saskatchewan. Regina. Tragically. Pip. You're a defenceman, defending a two-on-one. What do you do? Take away the pass, obviously. What are the two seasons in Toronto? Winter and construction.

Wow. You really are Canadian. Yeah. But let me ask you, Mr. Prime Minister, will there always be a Canada? There will always be a Canada. All right. Elbows up. Elbows up. That was so great.
