All hell was breaking loose last night at the Navy Yard area in Washington, D.C., where a group of teenagers and National Guards men and women were getting into it. You see it right there. So that's what was going down in Washington, D.C., a ton of law enforcement activity, National Guard activity. What was going down in Mar-a-Lago where Donald Trump was partying and vacationing,

once again on the taxpayer dime, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, other cabinet members, MAGA Republican Congress members and senators, they were all at a Halloween party. It was a great Gatsby-themed party, and they called it a little party, never killed nobody. So as we're approaching day 31, 32 of the government shutdown, as Americans are about to lose their health care, about 20 million Americans, as Americans were on the verge of losing their SNAP payments, but for a last-minute lawsuit filed by Democratic Attorney Generals and other groups aligned with the Democratic Party and Democratic interest to try to save SNAP. People are absolutely terrified right now, living paycheck to paycheck.

Donald Trump's party was called, and I'm not making this up, this is real. The party he was at was called A Little Party. never killed nobody. It was a roaring 20s themed party as though they don't realize what happened in 1929 or they're just too dumb

or malicious to even care. One guest said, okay, get him out of here. Get the press out. We got a buggy all night. Party time is what they said. Just to show you what went down Trump, cabinet members,

MAGA Republican Congress members, all laughing in your face. They truly hate. America they truly hate this country here they are laughing it away as they basically just take and take and take from us play this clip and speaking of these despicable people here you have Eric Trump and Lara Trump with their kids who dressed as money for Halloween yep you see Eric's kid there dressed in a hundred dollar bill very funny i guess to mock the american people as they continue to grift off of us and then

lara trump posted no kings happy Halloween behind their what 20 million dollar mansions behind them or whatever the hell that is i'm glad they're having a laugh mocking the peaceful protest and dressing their kids up like money as most americans can't afford rent right now and americans are terrified they're going to lose their health care and die at least marie antoinette said let them eat cake for the trumps they say let them starve to death while we do great gatsby themed parties called a little party never killed nobody but actually it did actually your behavior is killing people in the united states and across the world and when history looks back at this despicable period of time you will be held accountable. Speaking of people who will be held accountable, this is J.D. Vance, here's what he was posting

yesterday. Can you hear the screaming? See that photo of J.D. Vance and he says, happy Halloween. We can hear the screaming of little children running through the farms, as California Governor Gavin Newsom said, as they're being chased and gassed to death by ICE Gestapo agents. Yeah, we can hear the peaceful communities screaming across the country as ICE kidnaps them. and throws them into concentration camps. Yeah, we can hear the people screaming who are on fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela and Colombia, who our government is engaging

in war crimes and just killing. But if they survive, then they're no longer narco-terrorists, apparently, and they get to go back to their countries, and they don't even get prosecuted by the war criminal Trump regime. Here's also what that regime is posting right now. Donald Trump wanted everybody to know

that he renovated, the Lincoln bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in a 1940s art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate if you were wondering for the Lincoln era. He goes, I did it in black and white, polished on marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln, and it could have been the marble that was originally there. And Caroline Levitt chimed in yesterday and said,

when I first learned a toilet like that existed in the White House, I was horrified. President Trump is making the people's house more elegant and beautiful for generations of Americans to come. You see, when Donald Trump said that he was going to make things more affordable on day one, what he actually meant is that he was going to basically steal from you and Rich's family, focus on building golden ballrooms while making sure that your life was far worse off. He wanted to make sure that inflation surge, that you can't afford your groceries, that you can't afford clothing, that you certainly can't afford rent, that we have the highest credit card default rates right now in basically

history, as well as the highest student loan debt defaults in history right now. As Donald Trump is crashing our economy as our GDP is going down, as unemployment is going up, as we're in a period of stagflation, this is what Donald Trump's focused on. I kid you not, the rapid response team from the Trump regime, their official account, posting more photos of golden faucets now in the Lincoln, bedroom more photos right here you can see the east wing being destroyed in the ballroom that they're building actual posts by donald trump also what he posted a big focus of his yesterday if you were just wondering was uh the rugs in the kennedy center big focus on him they put a new marble he says

new seats new chairs new fabrics magnificent high-end carpeting he says throughout the kennedy center As our editor-in-chief, Ron Fulipkowski wrote, we are in a serious government shutdown, but instead of negotiating and trying to protect people's health care and extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies so people's health care costs don't go up more than $20,000 per year, Trump is out there posting picture after picture

of his White House bathroom remodel and now this fancy rugs at the Kennedy Center and he was heading to Palm Beach for his golf weekend end that event that he threw. A party never killed nobody, the Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party. Also, you should take a look at what Saddam Hussein's palace bathroom looked like, eerily similar to what Donald Trump's building.

And if you take a look at Saddam Hussein's Kidd Uday and Kusei seems a little bit like Eric and Don Jr. But what do I know about the history of authoritarians like that? So speaking of this authoritarian regime, You also had at least 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims urging Donald Trump and Maga Mike Johnson to immediately swear in Congresswoman elect from Arizona's 7th Congressional District. Adelita Grie Halva, who Maga Mike at the order of Donald Trump is refusing to swear it even though she won the election over a month ago because she would be the 218th signature

for the Epstein discharge petition and the Epstein files could be released, which Donald Trump does not want to happen. Yesterday, Bloomberg published a blockbuster report on the Epstein files. They gathered 18,000 emails that we talked about before from Jeffrey Epstein's Yahoo account. And one of the things that they uncovered, which was reported yesterday for the first time, is that Epstein was being investigated for money laundering and very serious financial crimes. Lots of people don't know how would Epstein get all this money. Where was he funneling his money too?

Well, what could be in those Epstein files could be a massive amount of data, a massive amount of information about the financial crimes he was involved in. And one of the things that I'm interested in was that transaction back in 2004 and 2008 regarding the Palm Beach Mansion that was originally owned by this guy named Abe Gosman, and then Donald Trump purchased it for $40 million when Epstein was originally going to purchase it. Epstein brought Trump to the House, then Trump bought it underneath Epstein from Abe Gossmann at a foreclosure sale for $40 million. Then about three years later, Donald Trump sold it to a Russian oligarch by the name of Rialbolev for $95 million. Epstein suspected that there could be some financial issues there with what Trump was doing.

Some believe, and Epstein believed that Trump may have had some communications with the FBI. We don't know this at all. I want to be very clear there. but Epstein told that to Michael Wolfe. So what possibly can be in these Epstein files may it relate to certain serious financial issues that, well, there could be links to Donald Trump. I mean, we know Trump is in the files, but what is Trump so worried and nervous about? I mean, obviously, there could be serious issues, both in financial and in terms of

Epstein's other situations involving, as Donald Trump was involved. with Epstein. We will continue to follow there and let you know what's going on. So you had the Epstein victims send that letter right there. Then Donald Trump, as he landed in West Palm Beach, before the great Gatsby party, this is what he had to say. Everything is the Democrats' fault. It's like a broken record with this guy. It's their fault. They control everything. They're doing it. Okay. I mean, last time I checked, unfortunately, you're the leader in MAGA Republicans control all branches. But here he just tries to blame everything on the Democrats. Let's play it. I'm always going to meet. All they have to do is open up the country. Let them open up the country

and we'll meet. We'll meet very quickly. But they have to open up the country. It's their fault. Everything is their fault. It's so easily solved. And then he said, I didn't even know what he's saying in the sentence. The shutdown proceeds because the Jenner, the Der, the Blah. I don't even think he can complete a sentence here, here play this clip. Our country is doing well. The shutdown proceeds because the general the democrats just don't know what they're doing i i don't know what's wrong with them they've never done a thing like this but folks he does announce that he will continue to do or he will start doing testing of nuclear bombs here in the united states that's what everyone asked for right everyone just want to pay their rent they people would like to be paid a living wage a wage with dignity

but trump is focused on marble in the lincoln bedrooms bathroom he's focused on golden ballrooms and and up nuclear bombs here play this clip are you talking about literally resuming underground nuclear detonation tests you'll find out very soon but we're going to do some testing yeah other countries do it if they're going to do it we're going to do it okay you can't clarify what you will resume i'm not going to say yet i mean i know exactly what we're doing where we're doing it but other countries are doing it and if other countries do it we do it now i think california governor gavin newsom put it aptly when he talked about how embarrassing donald trump's trip was to Asia where Xi Jinping totally outmaneuver Donald Trump.

Trump ultimately agreed for the United States to export less metric tons of soybeans than under former President Biden. It went from 27 million metric tons under Biden, where Trump saying, maybe can you take like 25 million of our metric tons? So 2 million metric tons less. Only 12 million metric tons for the entire year. So 15 million metric tons less. this year. And then every year now under, I guess you can, I don't think it's a deal because

there's no signed document. Let's be clear about that. Deals require signatures, but based on Donald Trump's interpretation of it, which by the way is usually always wrong, even Trump says that every year he's going to have to go to Xi Jinping and beg for them to release their rare earth elements. Nothing dealt with any sustainable way to deal with China cutting off its exports of REEs of rare earth elements, which it didn't do under former President Biden, but which it did right now. So here's what California governor Kevin Newsom said play this clip. I was embarrassed. I was humiliated. Watching the President of the United States in front of Xi were good. I mean, he was negotiating away this country in the first five minutes of the

photo op. He came back with nothing. He got played by President Xi. He says he got a good deal. He said that. How many? trade deals, 90 and 90 days? How many have you read and reviewed? How many have been signed? Zero. His policy is press release. And the fact that you and I will be paying more for toys this Christmas and we are already paying more for Halloween bears truth to my assertion of the recklessness of his policies. He's wrecking this country. The jobs market is weak. Inflation is starting to creep back up. This is unprecedented to see in such a short period of time, this kind of destruction for the progress we were experiencing that he inherited.

And by now, you may have known that I had the opportunity to interview California Governor Gavin Newsom, and here's what he told me. Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care. And where is Donald Trump here play this clip? Where is the President of the United States now? He's overseas. It's important to be overseas, but hold on. Don't you think it's more important to address the domestic crisis of his own making right now? One side's not even talking. when 20 million Americans' health care is about to be ripped away. The other side, the Democrats are there to talk and negotiate

and try to figure out a solution. And Donald Trump quite literally doesn't give a damn that people's insurance, health insurance, is going to be lost or tripled because he, in his big, beautiful bill, just did the biggest cuts to Medicaid in American history. Forgive me for the long-windedness. God bless the Democrats for standing up on all these.

things and being willing to fight for these things. Finally, as you see the MAGA Republicans are partying with Donald Trump, great Gatsby themed parties, roaring 20s, nobody ever died partying or whatever the hell they're calling it. And as MAGA Mike gaveled out and said that the House should not, is not allowed to come back for at least another week and a half, two weeks. He keeps on continuing it as the House, because Maga Mike's done this, he's the Speaker of the House, he controls it. They've only worked what, like 12 days over the first.

past 100 days. He shut it down. He said, don't show up to the MAGA Republicans. He has the audacity to go around now and blame Democrats. He goes, where are the Democrats? Why aren't they showing up? These MAGAs are absolute sociopaths. These are some real sick human beings. I mean, watch MAGA mic for yourself. Here, play this clip. The limits have been reached here. And what are the Democrats doing today? Where are the Democrats? Are they in the Senate today? No, they're out campaigning while critical snap benefits run dry the democrats have skipped town they've abandoned their post in the senate and the reason that's so important and noteworthy for the american people is the senate is the only place where this can end the last hope of reopening the government

before millions of americans go hungry they've abandoned their post well there you have it folks let me know what you think hit subscribe let's get to six million subscribers obviously new videos every 90 minutes here on the Midas Touch Network, so keep watching.
