BetMGEMM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown all throughout last night. He hadn't posted in about 48 hours, and he wanted to let people know just how unhinged and deranged he is. He started posting about windmills and saying, look, these windmills are killing these bald eagles. And it turns out that he was posting photographs from Israel in 2017 of Falcons. Donald Trump started attacking the Kennedy family on the day where Tatiana Schlossberg tragically passed away due to. to terminal cancer and Donald Trump's like, the Kennedys don't even show up to the Kennedy Center.

So of course, I should vandalize it and call it the Trump Kennedy Center. Then Donald Trump was posting that his approval ratings actually like 65% and that every single poll is rigged and it's all absolutely one big giant scam and he's the most popular ever as his approval is actually like 38% or 36%, just utterly deranged behavior. I want to take you through what's going on.

And then we should talk about how the American people are responding to this. I mean, you even have a Republican consultant Carl Rove saying people are sick and tired of Donald Trump bragging about this and that while the American people are suffering and plastering his name everywhere and building himself golden ballrooms and looting and stealing from the American public and taking away people's health care. And, you know, the American people again showed how pissed off. They were in Iowa, a Democrat won a special election by 43 points overperforming in that Senate district from former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 by like a 24, 27 point overperformance there. And we're just seeing throughout the country that people are sick and tired of the scams, the lies, the drama, the derangement of Donald Trump. This has been the worst year, objectively, in the history of the United States presidency, according to the people. And there's been a lot of presidents. Trump is the single worst, according to the American people.

Trump is far less popular now than when Biden left office, notwithstanding all the MAGA efforts to defame him. Again, let's just go through what's going on. A reminder, first off, happy New Year.

Ron Filipkowski and others. All right, let me get into it. Donald Trump Post, the polls are rigged even more than the writers. The real number is 64%. And why not? He goes, why not? Our country's hotter than ever before.

Isn't it nice to have a strong border, no inflation, a powerful military, and a great economy? Happy New Year! Exclamation point. And Donald Trump just lies. Why not? Why not? Because of the not part of the why not? We like to be objective and be tethered to the reality and not your Maga-Pootenesque authoritarian propaganda.

We've never been hotter before. By hotter, do you mean that the fact is that Americans are literally unable to afford air conditioning or Americans are unable to afford homes that are able to pay rent? Is that what you're referring to? And Donald Trump goes, we have no inflation, a powerful military. No inflation, really? Because I think when people leave their house, they see that things are more expensive. You think we have a powerful military right now?

Isn't our like Navy chasing some fishing boat right now or some vessel from Venezuela that has we haven't even be able to capture them? You're blowing up fishing boats and committing war crimes. You think that's power at the same time. You have China doing military drills and threatening Taiwan. You have Kim Jong-un shooting missiles and doing launching tests. You have Iran saying it's in an all-out war against the United States and the West. You have Putin further escalating attacks against Ukraine while you say, I trust whatever Putin says. You think that we are a stronger military with Pete Hegsef, who just wants to say, oh, I'm the Department of War, who has weakened our military and our credibility more than ever before.

Actual real numbers, the latest PBS NPR Maris Poll of National Adults, who are pulled, 38% approval, 8% unsure, 54% disapproval, as bad as it gets. Take a look at the latest New York Times opinion that talks about the Gallup poll. America is unhappy. That's how the New York Times defines this year. Donald Trump's year in approval rating is lower than that of any president. In the last five decades, it's lower than Biden's approval rating when he left office. This is bad, bad, bad right here you can see.

And then Donald Trump posts the following. Windmills are killing all of our beautiful bald eagles. It took us at the Midas Touch Network about 60 seconds of research because that didn't look like a bald eagle. It looked like a falcon to me. It looked like a falcon. So I googled this photo. Trump posted a photo claiming it showed a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill.

In reality, the image is a dead falcon in Israel from 2017 in a Heretz article. Wind turbines in Israel was the story there. But Trump doesn't care. He posts more stories about windmills, more stories about windmills. You know, energy prices are up 15, 25, 30% of you've gotten your energy bill lately. You know how expensive it is. This is a lot of cause from the crypto mining, the data centers.

The fact that Trump's just letting these energy companies price gouge us and collude and engage in antitrust. violations without any regulation at all but Donald Trump then is killing solar energy wind energy and other energies that would bring down costs but don't worry Donald you see China's doing it China's building out their wind and solar and they're preparing for the future while you're bringing America back to coal remember when Christmas the kids said I don't want coal in my stockings and then Donald Trump's like oh well you want that big beautiful coal we love

now. Then Donald Trump attacks the Kennedy family right here. He goes, they don't raise money for it. They never show up. And the only Kennedy who's ever been there recently is a member of Trump's cabinet. You're attacking the, he did post after post after post attacking the Kennedys. This is why it's called the Trump Kennedy Center. No, you vandalized the Kennedy Center by sticking your name on it. It'd be no different than someone who just goes and vandalizes any government building. There's a law that called it the Kennedy Center. You can't just put your name on it. And here's the thing, anybody who performs there and promotes it, I believe one day can be held criminally liable

because you're aiding and abetting the vandalism on public property. And there's a lot of people who are pulling out. There's been the jazz bands that pulled out for Christmas. another jazz band and group pulling out for New Year's, another group pulling out for April. And then you have like Rick Grinnell Trump's like proxy who's on the board, who's the guy behind the name change with Donald Trump. He's like, I'm going to sue you for a million dollars if you quit.

I'm going to sue you for a million dollars. Good luck with that lawsuit when the defense is you vandalized the building and called it the Trump Kennedy Center. The easiest defense for anybody who, who wants to quit their shows at the Kennedy Center. I'm just going to give you my legal opinion, right? I have a First Amendment right to give you my legal opinion. If you're worried that you're going to get to, I'm giving you my legal opinion as a law professor,

okay? And as a former litigator who litigated cases, not like this, but who litigated cases. Here's how I would argue it as a civil defense lawyer. I would say there's illegality now taking place. Trump named it. Trump Kennedy Center. That's illegal. if we lend our performance to this Trump Kennedy Center,

which is not what it's called, we're promoting the crime. So we have to back out because otherwise we would be aiding and abetting criminality and we don't want to be criminally prosecuted in the future. I think that's an argument that will win in front of most judges if you want to rescind the contract. And by the way, our hearts go out to the Kennedy family right now.

Tatiana Schlossberg, author, environmental journalist, and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy died at the age of 35. Schlossberg's death comes just a month after sharing that she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Here was an article she wrote for the New Yorker. Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, had just given birth when she was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She writes about her fear of adding another tragedy to her family's life. When you are dying, you start remembering everything. Tatiana Schlossberg, a battle with my blood. Our hearts goes out to the family.

And Donald Trump was post after post attacking the Kennedy family yesterday. Oh, they don't visit it. So I should be able to call it Trump. Just shut the heck up, man. Just shut up and be like, stop acting like a freaking baby, man. Just act normal. Just act like a grown up. Act like an adult.

Are you such a freaking sociopath? Math, malignant narcissist that you, rhetorical question, okay, we know that he is. This also from that PBS NPR Morris Poll, which party do you think would do a better job handling the economy by far? People believe the Democrats. And just look at all these other stats and things that are taking place right now, right? You have measles cases never have been this higher like in any recent time. I mean, you get measles outbreaks taking place right now.

The number of recorded measles cases in the U.S. during 2025 has exceeded 2000 for the first time in more than 30 years. MAGA, make measles spread again. And you're having all these diseases spread because Trump and MAGA have attacked vaccines after vaccines. My gosh, I mean, take a look also the incompetent DOJ, Attorney General Pam Bondi. She made a post touting a chart. as proof that Donald Trump has succeeded in reducing drug overdoses. But after being informed that the data actually reflects Biden's record, Bondi had to delete her post as Ted Lute Democratic Congress member writes.

Dear Pam Bondi, the chart you provided ends in October 24. Thank you for unintentionally giving massive credit to Joe Biden. Also, when are you going to stop violating federal law and provide the unredacted Epstein files right as we head into the new year Donald Trump and the Magas are involved in a cover-up of a child sex trafficking ring and Marjorie Taylor

Green who was as close to Donald Trump as could be said that Donald Trump screamed at her and said Marjorie you're going to hurt my friends by putting these files out there this is Marjorie Taylor Green saying

publicly again this is what my opinion which she said it But what she's saying is he's involved in obstruction of justice regarding child sex trafficking. And all the other people in his cabinet are complicit in covering up child sex trafficking rings. I mean, how putrid, how utterly disgusting is it? But they want to distract you with everything. And their latest one is to blame Biden and to blame Governor Walls for fraud being committed in Minnesota. Now, folks, fraud is.

is a very serious issue. We need to take it very seriously, and we should not be saying, oh, there's nothing to worry about when it comes to fraud. But do you know who was out there prosecuting the fraud? Do you know of the 78 people who were charged from the feeding our future fraud probe, 70 were indicted by former President Biden

in February of 2024? That's the last full year of Biden's presidency. And Cash Patel and everyone could try to say, oh, Biden covered it up. No, we didn't. The prosecutions took place then. By the way, the ringleader of the fraud was not a Somali. The ringleader was a white lady. And were Somalians involved? Yeah, but you don't oversimplify something and generalize and say, oh, all the Somalian people are bad people. That's just being racist. We can be able to call out fraud, prosecute the fraud, prosecute the criminals without them just doing, they're eating your

dogs, they're eating your cats, it's the Somalis. And they want to blame the Somalis because they realize, wait a minute, the Latino community hates the Trump regime now based on the fact that the Trump regime has deported, thrown them into concentration camps, profiled them. So who's going to be their boogeyman? Their boogeyman's going to be the Somalis and say they're the ones engaged for no donald you're engaged in fraud you are a felon donald you are a sexual abuser donald you are a criminal donald you have been pardoning fraudster after fraudster a commonality is most of them are white by the way the republican senator from florida rick scott was involved in the largest medicare and medicaid fraud criminal scheme in american history at that time but he got a

$300 million golden parachute to leave and became wealthy and has doubled or tripled his net worth since then based on that money. He invoked the Fifth Amendment over 75 times when he was deposed in connection with a case where they were prosecuted for engaging in, where his company was prosecuted for engaging in Medicare and Medicaid fraud. But you look at all of Donald Trump's pardons. I mean, he's literally pardoned people engaged in tens of billions of dollars in fraud. he's part in the biggest drug dealers, the biggest fraudsters, the biggest Medicare and Medicaid and health care fraudsters. That's who the Trump regime is. So don't try to pretend that y'all are the good guys. You're the bad guys. And we can still take waste and fraud very seriously and prosecute

criminals. And we can do it in a way that isn't racist and that isn't like, oh, it's the Somalis that are doing all of this. And by the way, Governor Walls requested that he get more power. to be able from the state legislature to be able to go after potential fraud. And guess what? The legislature blocked that, okay? So enough is enough. And as Governor Wall says,

you know what this is really all about right here? It's about these MAGA Republicans like Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services, Jim O'Neill, a guy who previously worked for Peter T. Look at this guy on the left. Guy looks like a bad guy in a freaking cartoon movie, Secretary Jim O'Neill. And what Jim O'Neill says,

we froze in all child care payments from the state of Minnesota. And Governor Wall says, this is what the long game is. We've spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It's a serious issue. But this has been the Trump regime's plan all along. He's politicizing the issue

to defund programs that help Minnesotans. And this is what the Trump regime's doing the whole time. I'll do a whole other video on it very soon. But you have Donald Trump vetoing a bill. unanimously pass, unanimous every single person in the House and Senate passed it to provide clean water

to 50,000 people in rural Colorado. But because Lauren Bobert was the sponsor of it, and she supported releasing the Epstein files, and also because Donald Trump's mad at the governor of Colorado for not pardoning a felon, Tina Peters,

who was prosecuted and convicted of being involved in January 6th, related, crimes. Donald Trump vetoed the bill to provide clean freaking water to Colorado is going to triple or quadruple the cost now there for people in Colorado or potentially result in their physical illness. That's who Donald Trump is. And, you know, my neighbor told me, hey, Ben, when we're watching your videos, what resonated the most is when you call Trump evil because he's evil. And it's not framed that way a lot by the media. They want to talk about, oh, this party, that party, this, but-da-da-da.

You know, no, Ben, this was a great point by my neighbor. They're evil. They're evil, evil people who do evil things. Why do they do it? Because they're evil. They exist to cause harm. And we have to recognize that there's evil, evil out there. And we have to stop it.

We have to stop it. That's my New Year's resolution for 20. 26. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million and thanks so much for watching. Thanks for watching. Be sure to add the Midas Touch podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast for new updates every single day.
