Pete Hegseth, so emblematic of this Trump regime, cacistocracy. So you wake up in 2025 March with headlines like this from the Trump regime.

Consumer expectations plunge to their lowest level in 12 years as recession signals blare from NBC News. The conference board's monthly index showed older consumers are especially worried about the fate of their finances. From the Wall Street Journal, consumer confidence drops further. Key measure flags recession risks, as Heather Bushy says. Yikes. The president may get the economy he wants after all. Consumer confidence has plummeted, falling four months in a row. The six-month outlook hasn't been this bleak in over 12 years and is at a level that tends to indicate

recession is coming. You broke it, Donald. You own it, Donald. Meanwhile, as Carl Quintanilla is posting from the Washington Post, long waits, waves of calls, web crashes, social security is breaking down. For all of these MAGA Republicans saying, oh, even though Elon Musk calls it a Ponzi scheme, and even though the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says that you're committing crime or fraud, if you whine about not getting your check, we're not going to close Social Security down while you already are doing it. You've already closed down 47 Social Security administration offices, making it very difficult for older people to access actual people and services that they need. And you're seeing here that it's already being crashed as you're destroying the call centers, the website. A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency into chaos as a new commissioner

prepares to take charge. The Social Security Administration website crashed four times in 10 days this month, blocking millions of retirees and disabled Americans from logging into their online accounts. This headline from the Wall Street Journal is not surprising, and perhaps two months late, Canadians are boycotting American vacations. Infuriated by annexation talks, neighbors to the north are keeping their vacations local. Good. We stand in solidarity with the Canadians here at the Midas Touch Network against this Trump regime. We know why you're boycotting.

We know it's not against the American people. It's against the regime. You got to do what you got to do. And we're here fighting the regime from within. And I can't wait for the day when we're able to celebrate without Donald Trump together again. But we appreciate the strength that you're showing in Canada and elsewhere throughout the world, standing up to this despicable bully. Look at this team of misfits, DEI, didn't earn it, Trump regime people like Pete Hegsa. What the hell is even going on here? He goes, we destroyed strength. I mean, dude, let me play you

the clip first and then I'll talk to you about it. President Trump said peace through strength will be brought back. All right. Y'all were doing war plans on text threads, on signal chats, while some of the people on those text threads were in Moscow, which means, and I spoke to former ambassador, Susan Rice, former national security advisor, Susan Rice,

go back and watch my video I posted yesterday in my exclusive with her. That means Russia has all of this stuff. You placed lives at risk, you fools, you morons, you. And here is Pete Hegseth saying again, oh, I'm not doing war plans. I know what I'm doing, everybody. I know what I'm doing, everybody.

Play this clip. As I also stated yesterday, nobody's doing war plans. I know what I'm doing, everybody. I know what I'm doing, everybody. Play this clip. As I also stated yesterday, nobody's texting war plans. And that's all I have to say about that. So those same troops that you are proud of, do you regret putting information like the ones you did in the signal chat that could endanger those same American service members? Nobody's texting war plans. I know exactly what I'm doing, exactly what we're directing. And I'm really proud of what we

accomplished. It's success. Yeah. My dad warned me about people like that at the bar. He said, Ben, just look away. Don't engage. Don't talk to those people like that. That's the defense secretary right now. There's something going on in this country right now, folks. There truly is a movement. As I said, a pro-democracy summer is coming. And I've been saying, I see the signs in all of these areas and red districts too. We're getting validation of that. In Pennsylvania's 36th district, state Senate district, a Democrat flipped that seat. It was a plus 15 Trump district. This guy, James Malone, flipped a plus 15 Trump district that had not gone Democrat since the late 1800s.

And that seat flipped yesterday. We're also seeing massive polling shifts in Canada. You know, I've been doing lots of hot takes, lots of videos on what's going on with the Liberal Party now led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, is pummeling and punishing Maple Maga, the right-wing conservative party at the federal level, led by Pierre Poliev. I want to be clear. I think that there are some conservative premiers who have been stepping up.

Not all of them. I mean, in Ontario, I think Doug Ford has been doing a good job. Alberta, in Alberta, Danielle Smith has been doing a horrific job. She's like a maple maga Vichy spy with Mr. Vichy doge boy, Pierre Poliev, trying to interfere with the elections and have Trump help them out. What a horrific, embarrassing thing there. But the Liberal Party led by Prime Minister Carney has been on the right side of this issue, standing up to Donald Trump powerfully, as opposed to this maple MAGA mess that is Pierre Poliev. Donald Trump yesterday held this disastrous public meeting of ambassadors.

He had his national security advisor, Mike Waltz, there as well. And Donald Trump was asked about these war plans that were in the signal chat where they had they invited accidentally a reporter who they're now attacking that reporter and saying that somehow he like nefariously entered the chat, even though he was invited by Mike Waltz. And then he's called sleazy by Donald Trump. Here's what Trump said. Play this clip. That's an app that a lot of people use. And somebody got on. I mean, happened to know the guys in total sleazebag. The Atlantic, the Atlantic is a failed magazine. It does very, very poorly.

Nobody gives a damn about it. This gives it a little bit of a shot. And I will tell you this, that they've made up more stories. And they're just a failing magazine. The public understands that. So every now and then we're reminded about those many healthy resolutions we made over the years to lose weight, to exercise more, and of course to eat better. But a goal without a plan is a plan to fail. So what I did is I tried Prolon.

Prolon's five-day program gives you the tool to put your health goals into action with a science-backed plan that makes it easy to stay focused and achieve real results. Go back and look at some videos of me from about three to four months ago before I tried Prolon. Prolon has made a difference for me, and I think it'll make a difference for you as well. So here's what it does. Prolon's fasting mimicking diet is a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting. It was researched and developed for decades at USC's Longevity Institute. By the way, I teach at USC Law. It all starts with their five-day program, snacks, soups, and beverages designed to keep your body in a fasting state. No guesswork or planning required. Three consecutive cycles of Prolon have been shown to reduce your biological age score by an average of 2.5 years and your waist circumference by 1.5 inches. It worked for me.

As I said, go look at some videos for me in the past. I tried it. It worked. I think it'll work for you as well. So help kickstart a health plan for you. That'll work.

The audacity to call the reporter, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic a sleazebag when your idiot team brought him into the chat while they were talking about war plans with emojis? And isn't it so obvious that they were

doing that always on signal, how comfortable they are? Here's Mike Waltz, by the way, national security advisor at that meeting, again, attacking the journalist and just sucking up to Donald Trump. Here, play this clip mr president you asked about lessons i think there's a lot of the lessons there's a lot of journalists in this city who have made big names for themselves making up lies about uh this president whether it's the russia hoax or making up lies about gold star families and this one in particular i've never met don't know never communicated with and we are uh and we are looking into and reviewing how the heck he got into this room. But I'll tell you what, the world owes President

Trump a favor. Also in 2025 Trump America, you wake up to headlines like this. First confirmed case of measles in Washington, D.C. being investigated by health officials. Great measles in Washington, D.C. Out of Florida, Florida's 6th congressional district, a plus 30 Trump area. We're seeing the Democratic candidate, Josh Wheal, running against a guy, Randy Fine, who's like a loathsome individual. We're seeing Democrats get momentum in this plus 30 ruby red district, Florida 6th congressional district. Will there be a massive flip there on April 1st when the election's taking place? We'll find out soon. But the early voting, at least, indicators are good for the Democratic candidate right there.

And what are the Republicans talking about on the Senate? Well, they brought in this guy, Frank Bisconano, who they want to have run the Social Security Administration and gut it. And here, this MAGA Republican Senator Tom Tillis from North Carolina, by the way, promises to support Bisigano's recommendations to cut Social Security offices in his state, too. He goes, get rid of him. Get rid of him. I trust you. Get rid of him. Play this clip. First of all, you know, this conversation about the field offices, I want to understand how they actually operate. And you answer that question. What you're going to find out is after you do the analytics, every member of Congress, except for me probably, will like your analytics, except to the extent that it affects one of their offices and their district or state. Yes.

And you have my commitment. If you present analytics and say the best and highest use of American taxpayer dollars to support those who own Social Security is somewhere else, then I'm going to support it. Do not pull any punches. Go after it the way you would in private sector. Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence. The fact that I even have to say that is cringy in and of itself. Yesterday in the Senate, she was saying, oh, the war plans, those weren't actually classified info. There was no classified information, but I'm not going to share them with you. But nothing classified. Play this clip. Contact the defense secretary or others after the specific military planning was put out and say, hey, we should be doing this in a skiff. There was no classified material that was shared in that.

So then if there was no classified material, share it with the committee. You can't have it both ways. These are important jobs. This is our national security. Bobbing and weaving and trying to filibuster your answer. So please answer the call. Then Donald Trump gave an interview with Newsmax where he talked more about the tariffs and he said the people who made the tariff deals in the past,

the people who made the trade deals in the past, he said were idiots. Trump made the USMCA deal. Here, play this clip. But we've been ripped off as a country like nobody, like no country has ever been ripped off before. I read some of these deals that are made by my predecessors. And it's almost like saying, how could anybody allow this to happen? Like, as an example, who would allow men to play in women's sports? Donald, it's your deal. And then you have like little MAGA Mike.

He goes and he's got to be all like a tough guy right now. And so yesterday, as a lot of federal judges are ruling against Trump and issuing injunctions against Trump, because Trump keeps violating the law, right? We're learning more stories about people who Trump kidnapped and sent to concentration camps in El Salvador who were not gang members at all from Trende Aragua. They had Real Madrid tattoos or was like a gay hairdresser from Venezuela, political exile. Women were sent to these concentration camps in El Salvador and turned away because the concentration camps only hold men. I mean, these were not Tren de Aragua gang members. Could there have been some? I don't know,

but that's why you have to have process, due process to give people an opportunity to say, I'm a gang member. I'm not a gang member. But here, MAGA Mike Johnson says, we're coming after you district courts. We're going to eliminate all of your funding. We can just eliminate the courts. We're just going to wreck the courts too. So there's a natural tension between the branches of the government, and we're working through that. The Judiciary Committee is looking at alternatives. One of the bills that I really like that's already been through committee was authored by Representative Darrell Issa, and that would limit the scope of federal injunctions, the ability of one individual judge to abuse the system in this way. And it would be, in my view, a dramatic improvement on that. So we'll be moving, I think, that piece of legislation and some others to address it because we have an Article I authority under the Constitution to do that. We do have authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power funding over the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act. So stay tuned for that. Thank you. I covered this with Harry Littman on an episode that I'm releasing soon as well. The Trump regime yesterday also invoked the state secrets privilege. And they're saying we, because we're in a war, they said against Venezuela, we can't even turn over

to the judge, the identities of the people in concentration camps now in El Salvador because it's a war and we're going to jeopardize our war efforts. That's how dystopian, despicable, disgusting this Trump regime is. But folks, there is a movement taking a hold of the United States of America right now. People are fed up. Republicans, Democrats, independents, people who don right now. People are fed up. Republicans, Democrats, independents, people who don't like politics are just fed up. You're coming after our social security. You're coming after our Medicaid. You're freaking spreading measles. You're firing

veterans. You're doing hostile takeovers of the federal government. You are destroying people's lives. You're doing it cruelly. You seem to be enjoying the cruelty of it. Like F you. That's what Americans are saying. F you Doge. F you Musk. F you Trump. F you Hegsiff.

Enough of this crap. People are saying we didn't vote for this crap. The hell is this? Hell is this? We'll keep covering it here in the Midas Touch Network. Something is happening in this country.
