Republican Congress members, Senators, Trump cabinet members, they're all getting ruthlessly booed. Those who are trying to avoid town halls. They're getting booed at their public appearances. Those who are holding town halls getting ruthlessly booed and mocked at their town halls.

The MAGA Republican cabinet members of Donald Trump walking in D.C., they're getting booed. People are screaming shame, shame, shame. and boy do these people deserve it let's take a look right here you have senator susan collins of maine shame shame she shows up at a ribbon cutting because she's been avoiding all of these town halls she did not expect to be met with this but she should have because you screwed your state you screwed the country but aren't you so concerned susan collins here play this clip Shane, Shade, Shade, Shade, Shade, Shade, Shade, Shade, Shade, Shade, Shade, and Shade. And here is another angle of her getting ruthlessly booed.

She's getting drowned out by booze. Here play this clip. Thank you very good. We're going to stay down. We're going to stay. Shade. Shade. Shade.

Shade. Shade. Shade. Shade. Shade. Shade. And you've got MAGA Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson. She hasn't held a public town hall since May, but she did have time for a fundraiser.

Protesters were out there letting her know what they felt about her. she's over in Iowa's second congressional district play this clip and outside of hawkeye downs protesters line the streets saying they want the congresswoman to prioritize free public town halls over pay to enter gatherings she refused to make refuses to make herself available here including in her office um despite many demands for a town hall but she was able to hold a fundraiser for $40 a ticket um i'm not paying to see my representative Ashley Henson's last public town halls in her district were on May 28th. Checking back in on Susan Collins, how concerned are you, Susan? Here play this clip. All right, let's take a look at MAGA Republican Congress member Josh Brekeen. He's the Congress member from Oklahoma's second congressional district. He held a town hall and just watch as he insults the town hall attendee after he was confronted about his vote to cut Medicaid and Medicare.

First, Burkine denies that there were any cuts and then claims his constituents doesn't have the facts to back up his claim to which his constituents said you might want to read your bill sir here play this clip i grew up on a farm just to just over the county lines i'm sure you grow up down native i want to clarify your points you can check this on congress dot go the text of one big beautiful bill it cuts medicare by a whole 50 billion including over service doesn't touch Medicare. I think you might be read the bill. Sir, I've been involved in the process.

I'm in the budget. It doesn't touch the Medicare. Are you meaning Medicaid? I'm also meeting Medicaid as well. Larva cuts Medicaid, including over $2 billion for the state of Oklahoma. You have put my hospital at risk, sir. I'm agreeing to my money. You have to get.

All these did occur on the jump. I'm sure you do too. Why? Why should, when we can read this and we can read the text of the bill on Congress by the governor, why should we believe what's in this? Because what you're saying is not true. You don't have any facts to back at what you just say? I read the bill. You don't have facts to back if they said, I'm sorry.

You just don't. This is a problem when people will make statements and they don't have facts to back it up. And Congress member Burkine held multiple town halls over the past 48 hours. hours. Here was another one that he held in prior Oklahoma. And here a constituent asks him, can you please explain to us, number one, what does Donald Trump mean when he says he's reducing health care costs by 1,400 percent? How is that possible? And also, prices are not going down. Y'all promised you were going to bring prices down. Can you explain what's happening to which Congress member Burkine says, ma'am, ma'am, you don't know what you're talking about, ma'am.

federal government has nothing to do over that you you best got to read your constitution and the enumerated powers ma'am you see ma'am this is a state's issue not a federal issue dude what are you talking about have you ever heard of the interstate commerce clause have you ever heard about the fact that congress has the ability to or is solely responsible for tariffs y'all are the reason screwing it up oh but congress the president nothing to do with it it's the state's fault that's why the prices are going up and that's why donald trump saying 1400% the hell are these people talking about play this clip um well no i had a couple of related questions one is um i've heard president trump say more than once that uh he has lowered drug prices by 1500

i'm not sure how that works and the other is can you tell me what specific bills we've passed or worked on that would lower grocery prices. Well, ma'am, you're talking about things relative to state level. And so you're mixing federal and state in terms of, if you look at what the 18 enumerated powers say, the 18 enumerated powers that every member of Congress holds up their hands swears an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. And most people who run for Congress don't know those 18 enumerated powers. And they don't know the 10th Amendment that says the power is not delegated to the United

States by the Constitution. or prohibited by it to the states, or reserved to the states or the people respectively. And so what I'm saying to you is, Oklahoma, if you want to have that conversation about grocery taxes, they've been having that conversation. Yeah, but what I'm saying is, but relative to constitutional authority

in the way that I have my staff to analyze things, what we're allowed to do, okay, what we're allowed to do is it has to be under the framework. We are given tax status, but tell me the federal federal. federal tax right now on groceries. So what I'm saying is state. You're talking about state. Who's next?

And then Congress member Burkene just took a trip to Israel. A PACAX has paid this guy over $35,000. And he goes, look, I got to do it because of my biblical support of Israel. Genesis 12 and 17. That's why I do it. That's why I do it, everybody. Where does it mention in the Bible? Where does the Bible mention Benjamin Netanyahu committing atrocities in Gaza?

Where we're that's in Genesis 12 and 17. Here play this clip. My name is Amanda Dev. This is a little complicated subject. All right. So lobbying, you get paid by APEC $35,000 or something. That's what they have it on your Facebook. So can I explain to you what thing?

Okay. Let me just, I'm going to finish, and then you correct me. You made a statement, and let me correct it, okay. A-PAC is an organization that supports Israel. Before I ran for Congress, because of my biblical beliefs, I support Israel. I believe in Genesis 12 and Genesis 17. I believe that there is something very special biblically about the covenant with the land of Israel. It's not in the Bible.

Let me finish. It doesn't mean I give Israel a pass to do whatever they want to, but I have a biblical belief. Can I finish? If there's a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after drinks, with friends, it's with pre-alcohol. Zbiotics, pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Now, here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days

after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol, your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Now, every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. Look, I won't lie, I was definitely a bit on the fence about pre-alcohol initially. But while hanging out with some friends this summer at a bar, I gave it a shot, and believe me, it's the real deal. I drank zbiotics before my first espresso martini, and you wouldn't believe how on top of my game I felt the very next morning.

The final days of summer are here for you to enjoy. Whether you're heading to the beach, camping in the woods, or squeezing in one last vacation road trip, don't forget to bring Zbiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink.

He's like, but let me tell you what's really going on here. You got Sharia law. Sharia law, they're trying to do Sharia in America today. They're trying to reestablish the Ottoman Empire in the United States. And so God has told me we best stop the Ottoman Empire and all of this Sharia. Okay, what are these people talking about?

Like, what the hell is wrong with these people? Here, play this clip. We've got Sharia law trying to be set up in America today. Absolutely we do. You have Sharia law trying to be established in America today. The Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim Brotherhood is the ideology. And you've got a Turkey president, guys, we can not go turn into chaos. We've been really good to each other today.

Turkey has a president who has made statements relative to reestablishing the Ottoman Empire. Then a constituent goes to Congress member, Burkine. You know, before you even came to this meeting, you went to Israel. Okay, like, which is fine. But have you visited Canada? Have you visited the United Kingdom? You just go to Israel? Here, play this clip.

Can I finish? Okay. So you guys, I mean, whatever APEC paid for congressmen, okay. Now, last month, before you even coming to this, to this meeting, you went to Israel. I did go to Israel. There is no other country allowed to take 40 member or 30 member of Congress, American Congress, to a different country. You didn't go to Britain. Did you, did you go to Canada? These are our allies, too. Did you go to? I don't want you to go a little bit. I'm Lebanese. I don't want you to go a little bit. I don't want you to pay a little bit. I'm not Syria. Well, but don't go to Syria. I've been working on for two weeks. Do you know about the genocide that's happening in Soweda? I know I follow up with it. I completely, I can discuss that with you all day. Now, this follows a series of town halls.

We've covered Mike Flood's town hall in Lincoln, Nebraska. Here play this clip. My question is fiscal. With 450 million FEMA dollars being reallocated to open alligator alcatraz and 600 million taxpayer FEMA dollars being used to now open more concentration camps and ice burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people.

How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country? Congresswoman Hagueman of Wyoming's Town Hall play this clip. My question to you was how do you feel personally of stripping Americans of those foundational tools of male and balance? Male and ballots are not foundational tools. No. You said we have to be accepted but it's not a foundation.

We're fully thinking of exercising your right to vote without a male and ballot. You are absolutely fully capable of exercising your right to vote without a balance. Maga Republican Congress member LaMalfa in California play this clip. We know what you've done. We vote and we will hold you accountable. Anybody that voted for the pig bull and a bill. Watch your language, please.

Put that finger down, that's really good for. We want to be a piece. We want an answer. We want an answer. 18,5 on the test. Say, say, say, say. Say, say. Not touched for Medicaid slash Mediol.

This bill is not going to be the be-all end-all on the whole Medicaid question. This had a portion that had to do with the fiscal under the budget reconciliation. and reconciliation rules. And so it's not the end of the discussion. People that really do need it and are eligible under the program, they're not being cut. And the hospital portion of it

no... Elise Stefonic, she tried to avoid town halls, but like Susan Collins, she went to a ribbon cutting ceremony for the naming of a government building. Stefanik thought that was safe territory

for her. Sorry, Stephonic, not the case. Play this clip. Checking back in on Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Higman, she's the one who goes around Congress, the halls of the Capitol building with a lasso. She got a lasso. Here, but I play this clip. Who's responsible for establishing tariffs in our country? Well, right now the president has taken that authority, but I'm after when we go back in September, why are you talking about that? Why did he take that authority? You guys gave it to him. The House of Representatives are responsible for establishing tariffs.

You gave that to him. The next thing I'd like to ask you. You look at the bigger picture. You're here to take that. Territes have raised over $150 billion. Who pays for it? We take it on. Inflation is not gone up.

Checking back in on Mike Flood is recent town hall. Maga Republican Congress member Mike Flood from Lincoln, Nebraska play this clip. It talks about two big changes to the Medicaid program. One of those changes is that, If you are able to work and you are able-bodied, you have to work. If you choose not to work, you do not get free health care. You do not get free healthcare. Okay, okay.

So here's a question. So here's a question. Do you think that people who are 28 years old that can work and refuse to work should get free health care? I don't think that the majority of Nebraska's agree with you. And here he comes, Pete Heggseth in D.C., one of the most loathsome and detestable humans. Pete Hegsteth, let's play it. Shame, shame, shame, shame. Folks, the American people are pissed.

We are pissed that Donald Trump has gutted our health care, that things are not affordable, that prices are going up, while Donald Trump claims he solved inflation, which is not taking place. As I said before, health care being taken away, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, all under attack. the world is less safe right now. Donald Trump is coddling and sucking up and bootlicking Vladimir Putin and attacking Ukraine. Donald Trump promised he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. And now Trump says, L.O.L.J.K., that was just a joke. And same thing with Gaza didn't really mean I was going to solve that. I was being sarcastic about all of those things.

And then in Washington, D.C., you've got Donald Trump putting his face on buildings, like billboards of himself, like you see in North Korea. You have these cabinet meetings, which are like the most embarrassing things to watch, where all of these cabinet people are like, oh, Donald, you're so great. We love you, Donald. You're the smartest. You're the greatest president. Just like the weirdest stuff in the world.

We've got ice disappearing people off the street. We got all of that going on. We have concentration camps. We have alligator alcatraz. people are livid right now and people are showing how they feel let me know what you think hit subscribe let's get to six million subscribers thank you for watching thanks for watching be sure to add the Midas touch podcast on apple podcast Spotify or wherever you get your podcast for new updates every single day
