Are you MAGA supporters happy about this, that America is literally the laughingstock of the world, that Donald Trump's cabinet picks are so ridiculously unqualified that people are laughing at them every day? Lloyd Austin, who's imminently qualified to a Fox & Friends weekend host.

Pete Hegseth can even make it on the main Fox & Friends during the weekdays themselves. That's who Donald Trump has nominated to appoint as Secretary of Defense. As Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren says, a Fox and Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our service members. Donald Trump's pick makes us less safe and must be rejected. May I do a comparison right now? Let me show you the current Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, at a speech he gave in June on the importance of NATO. Here, play this clip. Like nations of goodwill around the world, our NATO allies continue to stand up for Ukraine's

sovereignty and self-defense. And as we prepare for the Washington summit, the NATO-Ukraine partnership continues to deepen. The summit will take steps toward a credible bridge. Okay, now contrast that to Donald Trump's pick, Pete Hegseth, who's now getting laughed at by even Republicans who are looking at this and going, what the heck? Here's Donald Trump's pick. Here, play this clip. Yo, Independence Day is almost here. We're getting ready in the Hegseth household. We celebrate America, old glory, and the freedoms our forefathers fought to establish. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to bear arms, life, liberty,

and the pursuit of happiness. You know the thing, as Joe likes to say. We also know we're one nation under God. There are a lot of folks trying to divide us right now, but we know who we are. We love God, our families, and our republic. Your support of veteran-owned, American-made, anti-woke companies

like Palmetto State Armory, Caliber Coffee, Right to Bear Self-Defense, and AAC Ammunition keeps us strong at home. We vote with our feet and our dollars to stay free. To that end, AAC just rolled out a new line of AK-47 ammo. That's right, because Russian ammo is now banned. So now you can buy American-made 7.62. That's what I'm talking about. Check the text below for more info. Happy Independence Day, everybody. From our family to yours, God bless America. Speaking of America being laughed at right now and Donald Trump's decisions being laughed at. Donald Trump announced an imaginary cabinet position that he's creating called the Doge

Department, making up the Doge Department based on a meme coin, Doge coin that Elon Musk created. And he says, I'm going to have Vivek Ramaswamy and I'm going to have Elon Musk lead the Doge cabinet position. What are we, like five years old or just making up cabinet positions? But as Elizabeth Lawrence said, laughing in their face. So let me get this straight. The Office of Government Efficiency, which Trump calls Doge, it's off to a great start with split leadership. Two people to do the work of one person. Yes, that really sounds efficient, Donald. And you have Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk and Elon Musk's posting the photo of the Doge logo. It's like a dog. And then Elon Musk

goes, Department of Government Efficiency, the merch will be lit. The merch will be fire. The merch will be lit. The merch will be fire. We're making up fake cabinet positions in the United States of America. Oh, and then by the way, Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Yes, the guy who said, Donald Trump, your hands are itty bitty and really tiny, tiny little hands, Donald. Like, here's what Marco Rubio said. Play this clip. Have you seen his hands? They're like this. And you know what they say about men with small hands? You can't trust them.

Look at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands. If they're small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee. So I looked at him. I said, Marco, those hands can hit a golf ball 285 yards.

I want to show the size of my hands, how I could grab him, how I could grab him. By the way, speaking of hands, just going back for a second to Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense right now, Pete Hegsip. This guy doesn't wash his hands. He doesn't wash his hands. He says he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years. Here, play this clip. I don't think I've washed my hands for 10 years.

Really, I don't really wash my hands. Someone help me. No, I inoculate myself. It's just not germs are not a real thing. I can't see them. Therefore, they're not real. So you're becoming immune to all of the bacteria. Exactly.

I can't get sick. And by the way real. So you're becoming immune to all of the bacteria. Exactly, I can't get sick. And by the way, this is like a recurring segment with him. He talks about how he doesn't like to wash his body and he doesn't like to wash his feet or his hands or other extremities, like to wash things, he says. And he goes on Fox as part of his hosting duties and talks about not washing anything. Here, play this clip.

Yeah, as I've made some statements in the past about hand washing, because I feel like showering is an equivalent for the most part to hand washing, because you're scrubbing, so your hands are getting clean. Well, you're out there in the pasture, you know, stepping in cow manure and stuff. That's true. You might want to do it more often. So I have washed my feet in the last 10 years, which is a good sign. That's news to America. That's big news for America. Absolutely right. You're, you know,

I've made a renewed commitment to hygiene and I'm proud of it. Not what, what, what in the world is going on? Oh yeah. Then you turn on CNN, not that you do it because who's ever going to even watch that channel anymore, but I do it for you. And so I'm not going to show, I'm going to show you a small clip here where they have Scott Jennings, who's like, they have like these panels where they have like eight people, but Scott Jennings is like the main Republican on the panel. Like he's the MAGA representative. He's the big Trump voice on CNN. So he says that if Marco Rubio becomes secretary of state, he has a proposal of who should become the senator of Florida to fill Marco Rubio's spot. Here, watch this.

All right. All right. If Marco Rubio does, in fact, become secretary of state, we're going to need a new senator from the state of Florida. And we need someone with Rubio's national security credentials. Now, there's one Floridian who can do it. He stood up to the Russians and the Iranians in the 1980s when he defeated the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkov, two of America's most lethal foes. He is a real American. He fights for the rights of every man. He knows that courage is the thing that keeps us free. Ladies and gentlemen, I announce Ron DeSantis, get on it. Hulk Hogan for U.S. Senate.

And what you going to do, Chuck Schumer, when Hulkamania runs wild on you, brother? All right, we got to leave it there. Everyone talk. Thank you very much.

Guys, this is our government. This is life or death. This isn't funny jokes. This is the United States of America. As everybody's laughing at us and mocking us. Here, by the way, something that Donald Trump posted recently as well a few weeks ago, Hulk Hogan is doing a beer. And if he's doing it, it must be good. Great looking Canon logo. I'm going to give it a try. And Donald Trump would send all of these

emails out to his supporters. Hey there, brother. This is the MAGA cutoff Hulk Hogan war on stage. Because remember, Hulk Hogan spoke during the Republican National Convention. Remember that? Here's what he said. Here, play this clip. All you lowlifes, all you scumbags, all you drug dealers, and all you crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother. What you gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trump-a-maniacs run wild on you? You know, but throughout this, I've said it before, you know, the media is so complicit. So after all of that Hulk Hogan stuff, remember what NBC said? Remember the NBC host was like,

that was a great speech by Mr. Hogan. That was a great RNC speech. This is how NBC, rather than saying, okay, this is insane. This is nuts. This is literally crazy. Red alert, red alert, which we're saying here on the Midas Touch Network. No, NBC was like, this was a great speech at the Republican National Convention. I think Hulk Hogan did a really good job of connecting with people. Here, play this clip. People like Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan gave what I would say is probably the best speech at this convention so far. And there have been speeches that have blown the roof off this place. People who love the conservative politics here, who love MAGA. Hogan came in here. He did something completely different. He also was just entertaining, right? He was funny. He made people laugh. And even if you don't care for the politics here,

he might have entertained you. And on top of that, what in the world is going on? Oh, and by the way, on Tuesday, you had Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, was asked a question by Little Doocy, one of the hosts on Fox, and Peter Ducey. And he asked the question. He asked the question, so we know that President Biden had lunch with Vice President Harris. Must have been really awkward, huh? And Karine Jean-B. Harris is like, what are you talking about? She's the vice president. We're grownups here. I don't even know. I don't even understand the premise of your question,

do see from Fox. Here, play this clip. We know that today, a week after the election, President Biden and Vice President Harris had a private lunch. How awkward was that? I don't even understand. Why would it be awkward?

Because the president got squeezed out for her and then she kept him at arm's length and then she lost and now she's back. Why would you characterize it as awkward? They have regular lunches, they meet and talk regularly, why would you call it awkward? So there's no weirdness about the way that things have unfolded since last week? Did you see them together yesterday as well when they honored our veterans and were together during the day making sure that we didn't forget the brave men and women that fought for this country?

Did you see them together yesterday? Did you see the show of force together? This is, I'm not even going to take the premise of the question. What I will say is the president and the vice president had lunch today. They've had lunch many times. They communicate with each other regularly. They had an opportunity to discuss the last 70 days or so of this administration, how important it is to get things done for the American people. And that's their focus. That is genuinely their focus.

I think that clip there was worth showing you because, again, it's like you have grown-ups in the White House right now. Is having grown-ups do their jobs at a professional level with people like Lloyd Austin and people who know what qualified four-star generals who know what they're doing, is that boring? Yeah, I want my government to be a little bit boring, okay? Because I want my institutions to freaking function. I want them to work. I don't want drama. I don't want Hulkamania. I don't want that. I want to go about my day with my family and know that my government is working with adults in the room and people behaving like grownups. At a bare minimum, could we have a floor of adult behavior amongst adults but no not with

this mega crap like what the hell is that my friend dan presgoda wrote the following because i'm hearing this all over too i'm sure you are now also with all these people who voted for donald trump and they're like i didn't know he said that no i don't know he said that i never saw that i never what do you mean it's all out there what do you mean you didn't know that he said that. I don't know he said that. I never saw that. I never. What do you mean you didn't? It's all out there. What do you mean you didn't know that he said that? What are you talking about? Dan goes, I keep reading all of these accounts from Trump voters who claim, oh, I didn't know that policy or I never heard him say that. Okay. He's been saying it everywhere over and over again. Okay. You all knew what he was going to do. And this is what you wanted? The Doge department with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. We're just going to make up cabinet positions.

Let's have a Fox and Friends host become the secretary of defense. This is like some warped freaking movie that you couldn't even believe the plot.
