When my husband came home from his military deployment, readjusting was hard for all of us. Thankfully, I found talkspace. Talkspace provides professional support from licensed therapists and psychiatric providers online. Military members, veterans, and their dependents ages 13 and older can get fast access to providers, all from the privacy of their computers or smartphones. I just answered a few questions online,

and Talkspace matched me with a therapist. We meet when it's convenient for me, and I can message her anytime. It was so easy to set up, and they accept TRICARE. Therapy was going so well, my husband and I started seeing a couples therapist through Talkspace too. This is Donald Trump's worst nightmare. He's getting buried in bad news after bad news. He has trapped himself in his own scams and the American people are seeing what's going

on. Look at this generic poll of Democrats versus Republicans for the midterms. This is from Atlas Intel, the top pollster of 2024. They have Democrats leading 51 to 43 percent. What does Ipsos say about Donald Trump's polling right now? His approval is right around 41 percent. There are other polls that have him in the mid to high 30s. Donald Trump's approval is

absolutely plummeting. What about Pam Bondi? Her negatives right now about 61% and rising. More information about Donald Trump's dark past is coming out as well, including a Midas exclusive that will be dropping very soon. Make sure you check this YouTube feed every 90 minutes because we're dropping exclusives today, including we've got the footage of the 1991 beauty pageant that Donald Trump held for 14 year old girls, about 14 to 26, but many of them kind of 14 to 16 to 17. We've got photos. We've got videos of Donald Trump with these girls. It is absolutely disgusting.

Other stories are resurfacing like this. Donald Trump would frequently comment on their genitals. Now Trump is accused of forcing models to walk on restaurant tables so he could stick his head under their skirts. Businesswoman Lisa Boyne branded the Republican presidential candidate disgusting and sexist after an alleged incident in 1996, and we're hearing more about these as well. Donald Trump has also filed a lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch, I guess his former best friend, and the Wall Street Journal. Donald Trump is suing for, get this, $10 billion. $10 billion is

what he's suing for because he just makes up numbers and Donald Trump says that his reputation was harmed. What reputation? You piece of crap. You're a felon. You've been found liable for sexual abuse in a case. You're on audio saying that Epstein is a great guy. Epstein used Mar-a-Lago as one of the grounds where he found underage girls like Virginia Jouffre to sex traffic. How has your reputation been harmed? And Donald Trump's like, I've never drawn pictures before. And the Wall Street Journal said I drew a doodle in the 50th birthday card that was

allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. Well, Donald, I think we're going to find out that the Wall Street Journal has the goods. Also, Donald Trump just lost his lawsuit against Bob Woodward from the publication of audio interviews between Woodward and Donald Trump in 2022. Donald Trump claimed he owned the copyrights to his voice in the interviews with Woodward. A Republican appointed judge, Judge Gardafy in New York ruled against Donald Trump. A major, major court loss for Donald Trump. This at the same time that he's now suing the Wall Street Journal. If you just stand up to him the way Bob Woodward did and Simon and Schuster, which was at the time ironically owned by Paramount, but not anymore. If you just stand up to Donald Trump, he's going to lose over and over again.

I always just find it interesting to what stories are being covered on the right and left wing. Florida GOP representative comes after House Wall Street Journal subscription. So the MAGA Republicans are basically pushing right now. All Republicans need to drop the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal's woke. This is being covered exclusively by right wing media. No one on the left is covering this

because it's absolutely insane, but I wanna make sure I don't have a blind spot. That's why I'm letting you know that this story even exists. Also, the Trump regime has shut down civil rights work and civil rights work is slowing as Trump dismantles the Department of Education. Right-wing media is not covering that at all. And I use ground news in my research

to give you that data right there. It's essential to cutting through all of the bias and the media ecosphere. Go to ground.news slash MTN, scan the QR code.

Let's take a look at some of the economic data that we're seeing right now. Inflation is surging. You know that if you had a barbecue recently or you've gone to a store to purchase food, you probably have noticed that orange juice is up 54%. Why would orange juice be a, I don't know, maybe because Brazil is the number one exporter of orange juice to the United States

and Donald Trump's declaring a trade war against them, trade war against Mexico, trade war against all of these countries. The effective tariff rate when you pretty much average it across all countries is somewhere in like the 19 plus percent rate. That's not good. That's a massive spike that's going to have catastrophic consequences. Oh, by the way, ground beef, the average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago according to U.S.

government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steak rose 8% to $11.49 per pound. And again, we're seeing that across the board right now, and it's not a shocker with Trump's tariffs against the world. I mentioned Brazil. It should be noted that one of the reasons that Donald Trump says he's tariffing Brazil 50% is because he wants the government to release Jair Bolsonaro, the crook, the criminal who tried to do an insurrection there in Brazil. They took care of business.

They got this guy arrested and locked up pretty quickly. And they saw that he may be trying to flee the country. So they've got an ankle bracelet on him and they're barring him now from speaking to foreign officials because Brazilian officials thought that he was coordinating with the Trump regime to try to maybe flee Brazil. I mean, yes, crooks hang out with crooks, Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro. Donald Trump held this bizarre press conference yesterday

where he kept on referring to the head of Japan, of the head of Toyota and Honda as Mr. Toyota, Mr. Honda, and he would do like a weird Japanese accent. That's what he refers to the Prime Minister of Japan, Prime Minister Ashiba as Mr. Japan. I mean, we just have like a cognitively addled lazy nutcase in the Oval Office who just embarrasses us every day. Donald Trump was asked questions about Epstein. He literally ran out of the room when he refused to answer questions as he was being asked about Epstein. Watch what happens.

Mr. President, Mr. President, why not go further than just unsealing the... Mr. President, did you send my letter? ...the mobile? Here's where Donald Trump was starting to talk about Mr. Toyota and Mr. Honda. How embarrassing. Let's play this clip. Here's where Donald Trump was starting to talk about Mr. Toyota and Mr. Honda. How embarrassing. Let's play this clip. But he spoke totally fluent Japanese. I said, that's very impressive.

And he was introducing me to Mr. Honda. I said, oh, are you in the car business? He goes, yes. I said, you're a very rich man. And then he said, Mr. Toyota, right? Toyota. And I said, what business are you in? Let me guess. He said, Mr. Toyota, right? Toyota. And I said, what business are you in? Let me guess.

He said, cars. He was my interpreter. And I was so impressed. And I was getting ready to leave. He said, sir, I'd like to run for the United States Senate. I said, where are you from? He said, Tennessee. I said, well, I love Tennessee, but do they know you there?

No, but if you endorse me, I'll win, but do they know you there? No, but if you endorse me, I'll win. Right. CNN got an interview with Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend and she talks about how Epstein and Donald Trump were like bros. They were wingman. They loved each other. Here, play this clip right here. And how did Epstein talk about Trump? Sort of what was, what was the quality of those anecdotes and how he described him? Well I he there was a time when he mentioned he had to check in on him because he was unwell and very upset about something that had happened. I

remember because he was late to pick me up and he was explaining why he was late. They were just, you know, it was such a long time ago, but it was just part of that was his, that was his bro, that was his wingman. It was clearly, I'd hear about Gilan and I'd hear about Jeffrey. And I met Gilan in his house. She would come wafting in and out.

The home in New York. So he was clearly just someone that he talked about all the time. And again, you know, I really, I met Jeffrey the second time when we started dating based on the introduction, the reintroduction that happened at the Plaza Hotel at a Christmas party in 1992 that Donald Trump threw.

And they were very, very close. And again, make sure you check back on the Midas Touch exclusive, where I'm gonna go through these beauty pageants. I'm gonna go through Donald Trump's relationship with this guy, John Casablanca, who died in 2013 of cancer. But Casablanca sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl.

He made her his girlfriend, a 15-year-old, ran elite model agency management and Trump's partnered with elite model management and elite had all of the sexual abuse going on. So there's not only the Trump Epstein connection, there's the Trump Casablanca's connection and then Casablanca's then left his wife, not just for the 15 year old girl, but then for a 17 year old girl also. And, you know, horrific, horrific stuff, you know, but we've done a deep research.

I found the video that you probably will never see anywhere else, you know, of what was going down in 1991. And the video is shocking to say the least. So I'm going to explore Trump, Casablanca, Trump, Epstein, Trump, Elaine, Maxwell. We'll focus on it all here, of course, folks. And I still want to focus on the economy, of course. I still want to focus on the fact that there's a hundred people missing in Texas still. A hundred and twenty deaths, a hundred, more than a hundred deaths, more than a hundred people still missing. And the head of the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Christine Ohm, says, this has been a perfect response.

FEMA's doing great work. They're not. What are you talking about? I don't want to lose sight of what happened, the flash floods. Not activating urban search and rescue for 72 hours, shutting down your call centers and not paying for it so people can get a hold of FEMA firing six of the key National Weather Service personnel including the key meteorologist coordinator. That's not good. I mean that's horrific. And then at a local level

building this camp in a flood zone which it's never been built, not accepting some of the warning systems, taking $10 million from the Biden administration from warning systems, but using it to line your own pockets and give bonuses instead of where it was supposed to go for the warning system. It would have taken four minutes for those young girls at Camp Mystic to get up to the top of mountain. They called that mountain God Mountain.

It would have taken four minutes. And this was a failure at local, state, and federal government. That's what happens when you run MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, and they hate government and everything's, whoa, whoa, we don't like science. We don't like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stuff like that happens.
