State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, is in panic mode as Donald Trump continues to be clown himself and the Maga Republican Party with these speeches that he's been giving most recently in Dayton, Ohio, then before that, Oklahoma, Texas, Mobile, Alabama, just infuriating people wherever he goes and a trail of destruction. I mean, when he was in Dayton, Ohio, a major factory. close there where 1,500 people lost their jobs as a result of Trump's horrific economy. Now, Donald Trump is lashing out at state regime media. He's lashing out at all news networks for not saying how great and how big these speeches are. I mean, your Dayton, Ohio speech was in front of a high school gymnasium. But here's what Donald Trump says about state regime media Fox. This is what he posted. Sad to see that Fox and Friends Sunday is not covering our.

were packed house and incredibly enthusiastic beyond rally that took place in Ohio last night or the ones in Alabama, Texas, or Oklahoma over the past two days. These election rallies were representative of what's really happening with our great Republican party. Yeah, that you can barely fill a high school gymnasium. Donald Trump then attacks New York Times and says the fake news, New York Times reported on my great packed rally in Ohio that, quote, the place was not full.

Some upper sections were almost completely empty. In actuality, thousands of people were unable to get in. The arena was totally maxed out, including all upper sections. What does happen at all of my sold-out rallies is that the people in the upper sections tend to migrate down to the main floor. Well, that would leave seats empty, and it should also. also be noted, you're talking about a high school gymnasium, not an arena. Donald Trump earlier on Monday morning posted the following.

This was his first post of the day as Treasury yields continue to surge and as gas and diesel prices continue to hit record highs. And as we reported, 12 more tankers hit in the Strait of Hormuz in the past seven days. Three have been struck in the past 24 to 48 hours. and one tanker just had to turn around when the IRGC intercepted it. Also, the Houthis Ansarala struck some more refineries and more oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. But here's what Donald Trump posts. What's driving up gasoline is no longer the straight of Hormuz because record numbers of barrels are coming out now on an almost daily basis.

But the word refineries where Russia's are being blown up by Ukraine and where ours are. being closed up in blue states like California's by the Democrats. I mean, these sentences don't even make sense. So you're saying it's California that's to blame for the rising price of diesel. And also, you're blaming a war in Ukraine by Russia that you promised you would end in 24 hours from 2024's election with your magic word. So you're blaming the rise in diesel and gas caused by your catastrophic war in Iran, which you promised to resolve in four to six. weeks on the war in Ukraine, which you promised in 2024 to resolve in 24 hours. I think I got it. So with all of that taking place, Donald Trump and state regime media are like, what do we do?

Well, Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's former White House press secretary, chief propagandist, just announced that she will become an on-air contributor for state regime media Fox. Now, she previously said that she was not going to really take any job. She wanted to spend time with her children. That's what she said two to three weeks ago. At the Midas Touch Network, we said she's going to become an anchor on state regime media to really push the propaganda heading into the midterms. That's what's going down.

And let's just take a look. So state regime media is not covering those Trump rallies like they used to, or I should say Trump high school events where he ran. Rans and Raves like a Lunatic. But they did cover this guy over here who said that he met Maga Jesus. Maga Jesus was like a freaking Mustang. And he didn't like diversity. And freaking Maga Jesus was so damn alpha.

And he was just strong as hell. This is a real segment from state regime media earlier. Play this clip. Jesus is a man. And especially in America, he's been misrepresented. And especially even, you know, there's so many cultural things that present him as if, as if he's some just tolerant guy. It's not the Jesus I met. He's a lion. But he's not a lion angry against me. He's a lion angry for me. He's a Mustang on my behalf. He did it all for me.

And what did he look like when you saw him? Pure fire. He was 5-11, like six feet, yet as tall as eternity. Like an ocean of love, yet his eyes were burning white and red at the same time. And I mean, talk about testosterone, like a Mustang. I'm telling you, he's the lion of Judah. And there's a roar within his voice. Then state regime media, they had to pivot. They have to kind of come up with new culture war issues to divide the American people while not showing

more of Donald Trump ranting and raving like a lunatic all that much. So what do they do? All right, they say, Miss Rachel is like Hassan Piker in overalls, everybody. So they attack Miss Rachel? What are you even talking about? My daughter loves Miss Rachel. Dude, just shut up and be normal. Here, play this clip. I mean, that's kind of common knowledge, right?

I'd also say this person here on your screen is Hassan Piker in overalls in a stupid headband. So if that's what you want your kids to be watching, if that's what you want them to be forming their ideas and their worldview on, then by all means, look, there she looks age appropriate in that one photo, but it's what it is. Now, listen, you can be a lefty and you can be a, like, a kid's educator, right? And you can be like, I'm a Democrat, whatever. But when you go so far as to advocate for things like Hamas, Palestine, and you cloud people's judgment on exactly what a genocide is and who's to blame and you talk about Israel, then you're not a children's educator anymore. You're a political activist. Like I said, Hassan Piker in a headband and overalls. So

parents, is that's what you want. I guess keep watching Ms. Rachel. But if that, um, perturbs you, perhaps not. You know, Lisa? On the topic of breaking news, what if I told you picking the wrong Medicare plan isn't just a money problem? It could take years off your life. That's not a guess. I just saw this study out of Yale that shows how picking the wrong Medicare plan can really affect your lifespan. Make sense when you think about it.

A plan can sound fine or look good on paper until you actually get sick. When health issues arise, it matters how easily. you can access the care that you need. And not all plans are created equal. Even if a plan has a few doctors in network, that doesn't mean they will be able to see you when you need it the most. That is why you need to talk to Chapter.

Chapter is the only national Medicare advisor that compares every plan nationwide. They look at your providers, your prescriptions, and what matters most to you and your situation to help you find the best. plan for you. If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you. If not, they'll help you fix it. Your Medicare plan shouldn't be the thing standing between you and your best possible life. Call chapter today at 82 Medicare. That's 82 Medicare. Then state regime media brings on Israeli president,

Isaac Horsog, who says, to be very clear, Israel's protecting the West and the free world. by everything we're doing, everything we're doing in Gaza and Lebanon and Syria. We've protected the free world. That's the reality. This is what he says regarding the genocide in Gaza and slaughtering people in Lebanon. Play this clip. West is bashing and attacking around us all over the place, blaming Israel for all the faults. But the truth of the matter is that Israel is protecting the West and the free world by its activities.

Isaac Herzog, the president. And then they had Harris, Faulkner this morning saying, you know, one of the real issues that we have to combat here at Fox is we have a society that's losing its grip and respect and the need for truth. That's what's going on. Here, play this clip. This to me is so baseline. We have a society now that's losing its grip and respect and need for the truth, which is why the disinformation and the misinformation and the conspiracy theories are so popular, and they break through in social media.

People have a complicated relationship with the truth. By the way, I just find it interesting. This is what Caroline Levitt said about three weeks ago when she announced that she was leaving the White House as the propagandist press secretary. Here play this clip. That is time for me to take a step back so I can spend more time with my two beautiful children.

Of course, I have a two-year-old and a four-month-old. They're just at a critical time in their life where they need their mom home a little bit more. So I look forward to spending more time with them. But continuing to serve the president as a top advisor on the outside, I'm grateful to him that he still wants me to stick around just in a way that I can spend more time with family. Now, state regime media also reported about Vice President J.D. Vance along with Ushah Vans. They're heading to Alaska. They stepped off the helicopter at Joint Base. Andrews. It's, they edited out this part of it. This is Usha Vans, nearly falling over and crushing

her baby getting out of the helicopter. Play this clip. Well, this is all they showed on state regime media Fox. Let's play this clip. Now also on state regime media Fox, the segment that they were running over and over again this morning is how they go, the Justice Department says a new report found that Biden's DOJ, when when too far in its response to parents who spoke out at school board meetings. Really? So Donald Trump's criminal defense attorney who's now leading the DOJ, who justifies war crimes and slaughtering people on fishing boats.

They've had ICE and Border Patrol, literally invade states, throw people into concentration camps in the United States. They are like okaying electric gloves that electrocute. immigrants when you or just people who they stop, ICE and borders are getting these electric gloves that shock you potentially to death, murdering people on the streets, not to mention all of the criming that Donald Trump has done. But the big issue right now, folks, October 5th, 2026 is Biden's DOJ went too far in 2021

regarding school boards. And a lot of the issues were when people would show up and they would parrot state regime, Fox or news, Newsmax or Trump talking points, and they would also threaten to like blow up the place. That's when the DOJ didn't get involved when people would criticize masks or when schools would have rules about masks. It became a DOJ issue only if and when people would threaten to like blow up schools and like threatened violence.

But this is what they're focused on on state regime media play this clip. Moments ago, the Justice Department released this new report examining its handling of parents who were speaking out at school board meetings during the Biden administration. The report says the department went too far, even as some DOJ and FBI officials warned internally about both the legal and political risks. This all goes back to 2021. Remember when parents were showing up at school board meetings nationwide protesting mask mandates, controversial curriculum, and other school policies? Well, some of those meetings became... Now, contrast that to our reporting here on the Midas Touch Network. We had Scott McFarlane interview

Larry Sabado, who's looking at the midterm elections. Here's what they had to say. Let's play this clip. But your forecasting is shifting races in all three of those states and in Iowa towards Democrats. Is it that you're seeing an enthusiasm in the answers in the data that these people in these states are particularly Democrats, aggressive about it? Yes. Fundamentally, it's that even though these are conservative pro-Trump states, you have a critical mass of people, Democrats, independents, but especially a slice of Republicans who want to send Trump and the Republican Congress a message. You don't see that all that often. Bush got it in 2006. Obama got it twice in 2010 and 2014. Trump got it in 2018. Biden didn't serve long enough to actually get that

kind of signal. He would have had he stayed in the race. in 2024. But you get a sense of that from a combination of factors, not just polling. I like to look at the focus group results that come in from several sources from these key swing states. I like to look at the media coverage there. Those people are on the ground. They're talking to real people as they pass by. You can pick up little bits and pieces and meld it with the numbers in the polls. and you get a decent idea of what's happening, not a perfect idea, but a decent idea. Well, there you have it, everybody.
