Transcript of Trump Goes Silent as Bad News Sinks In…

Donald Trump has gone mute for the past 14 hours. No statements, no posts. This as more devastating news hits the White House. The Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee just released a report 8 days before the midterms detailing additional Donald Trump ties to Jeffrey Epstein. A 50-page report was just released this morning, including new allegations against Donald Trump from a Swiss model who claimed that Donald Trump raped her during a 1993 beauty pageant in New York. The woman previously publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual assault but not rape. The White House says none of these allegations are true. According to the report, this was the post from the House Judiciary Democrat account. Judiciary Democrats report details mounting evidence linking Donald Trump to Epstein's criminal activities, and the Department of Justice cover-up. Specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential crimes. Democrats are calling for an independent prosecutor. Folks, we are going to see robust oversight as Democrats take control of the House and likely take control of the Senate. More devastating news from Donald Trump. Of course, you know by now, in Brazil, President Lula defeated Donald Trump stooge Bolsonaro. And now you have Elon Musk and the whole Trump MAGA cartel are saying the election was stolen.

The election was a fake. The election results need to be thrown out. Elon Musk has been posting all morning. The math doesn't add up. Lots of posts from Trump's former aide Jason Miller on behalf of Bolsonaro saying we're not accepting the results. We are not conceding. So on the international front, Donald Trump is getting devastating news. Also, an Election Day record that Donald Trump does not want to have. With a week to go before the elections, folks, a week to go before the elections, US gas prices are $0.42 above the 2022 election daily average, the priciest Election Day at the pump ever. Diesel is nearly $1 a gallon above the 2022, $5 and 33 cents a gallon. Both are on track for the highest Election Day prices on record. And then also, if you look now at the average price of gas and the average price of diesel during Donald Trump's term versus former President Biden's term, as of today, the average price of gas and diesel for Trump higher than former President Biden. And that's just gonna continue to go up because we know that right now the prices are at record highs. And so when Biden handed over the country to Donald Trump, gas prices were relatively low.

And so that's obviously included in the average. So now the average already in just 2 years under Donald Trump is higher, uh, than under former President Biden. And folks, there's really no end in sight because Donald Trump wants to escalate this catastrophic war. He says it's gonna happen after the midterms. A new CNN report says that Donald Trump is just waiting for the Israeli elections to be over and the US midterm elections to be over. And then Donald Trump— it's disgusting language that these genocidal maniacs use. They go, we're not just going to mow the lawn anymore. We're going to obliterate Iran. We're going to blow them to the Stone Age. We're going to destroy all of their infrastructure. I mean, referring to genocidal acts against the people of Iran. And then the Trump regime says, that'll make the people of Iran want to negotiate with us. That will do it. Well, if you actually look at what's going on in Iran right now, what's happening in Tehran. There's a meeting taking place throughout today between Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi, top advisor to Ayatollah Mousavi, and the president of Iran, President Pahlavi, is meeting with MBS's brother, who's the defense minister of Saudi Arabia.

They're meeting with the intelligence chief of Turkey also, by the way, and Pakistan. Of course, you know, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are part of the Mecca Pact. So The Mecca Pact regional alliance is now meeting in Tehran to discuss regional security, both in terms of Ansar Allah and the Houthis advancements in— or them advancing in Yemen as they continue to advance east, and the Houthis are striking in Saudi Arabia. MBS started a war that he's not able to control anymore, the same way Trump and Netanyahu started this catastrophic war in Iran. And then they're also talking more broadly at this meeting in Tehran about regional security more generally, and it's sending a message that all of these nations are meeting— Arab nations, Persian nations, Turkey— all meeting together the day before the Israeli elections. And that's sending a sign as well. The United States security umbrella in the region is done. I think everybody's recognizing how weak and pathetic Donald Trump is. And I think they're sending a message also about what would happen in the event of a Trump and Netanyahu escalation, about how these nations would either work together or what understanding they would have.

But Iran's not kind of pulling back right now. I mean, as we were recording this, we learned that another tanker was hit by the IRGC by Iraq. And it's not a coincidence that it— that these tankers, a lot of them are getting hit by Iraq because Prime Minister Zaidi of Iraq was following orders by the Trump regime to shut down the border with Iran. So Iran's like, okay, good luck getting your tankers out of the Iraqi ports. So we've been seeing an increasing amount of tankers off Iraq that were hit. But also, I mean, this month of October, Iran has struck more tankers in and around the Strait of Hormuz than any previous month before. So with all of that going on, again, Donald Trump's last post 12 hours ago, how New York plans to drop part of a Native American logo ban A huge victory for Massapequa in the town of Massapequa. I played soccer. I grew up in Long Island, so I played soccer against Massapequa. So I mean, I know what they're talking about here at a level of I played soccer against Massapequa. But Trump saying it's a big win. Massapequa will use the Native American logo.

That was his last post 12 hours ago as Trump wants to foment some culture war, you know, fight while the American people are suffering and while gas prices are surging, while catastrophic, never-ending wars are taking place. while Trump is giving our taxpayer money to the Netanyahu regime, while Trump is seeing that his stooges are losing elections internationally. So naturally they bring out Kevin Hassett. Nobody lies quite like Kevin Hassett. Well, Trump doesn't. I guess they all tie. I guess Trump's at the top and they all tie for second place as the biggest liars. But this is Kevin Hassett saying that the economy is incredible. Play this clip.

The bottom line is that We're saying that actually, if you look at the data, just the facts that I gave you, that the economy is strong. There are people who have concerns. We share those concerns. We're working on addressing them. But the economy is strong. The numbers are incredible. That's the difference. Biden said the economy is great and the economy was terrible. We're saying there's things that we need to fix and the economy is strong and we've got the data to prove it.

All right, Kevin Hassett, thank you.

More from Kevin Hassett here saying actually everything is absolutely The

great big picture about this economy is that it's about the best economy we've ever seen. Now, sure, there are gonna be pockets that need, you know, need some repairs, or that hopefully, like, as President Trump said, energy prices will drop like a rock, and then the 3 or 4% growth that we have right now will go even higher. But to characterize the economy as a negative thing right now is really just misrepresenting the facts.

As Aaron Rupar says, I hope Natalie Harp shows Donald Trump this clip of Harry Enten Comparing Obama's popularity with Donald Trump's unpopularity. Play this clip.

The picture here of President Obama, the 2 presidents out there, how do they compare when it comes to favorability?

Yeah, I would just say that President Obama absolutely crushes President Trump when it comes to who is more liked by the American public. You could see it right here. Okay, net favorability rating. They're basically inverse pictures of each other, right? Look at this. President Obama, his net favorability Plus 20 points. Look at President Trump way down there, 18 points underwater, under Lake Michigan. My goodness gracious. How about among independents? Independents, of course, being the name of the game in politics. You win independents, you tend to win elections. Look at this. You'd much rather have Obama on the campaign trail out for you to appeal to independents than President Trump. Plus 19 points for Barack Obama. Look at Donald John Trump. Look at that. 38 points underwater. This has been a massive problem throughout the latter part of Donald Trump's second term. That is real difficulty with independent voters. And it is the main reason why a lot of these red states, Jonny B, are in play, because even though they may have more Republicans than Democrats, the independents have totally shifted against the president of the United States and the Republican Party.

So who do people say they think was a better president?

Who did they say they think was a better president? I think, you know, what is going on here, right? Why are these numbers the way that they are? Well, just take a look at this. I don't think that President Trump is going to like this. Who has been the better president? Look at this. Barack Obama comes in at 55%. Donald John Trump comes in at just 37%. This is from a poll earlier this year. I wouldn't be surprised if this margin has actually grown a little bit as President Trump has become even less popular than he was at the start of this year. When, of course, the Iran War and the gas prices went skyrocketing up and his approval ratings went all the way into the gutter. So the bottom line is this: President Barack Obama, former President Barack Obama, far more popular than President Donald Trump is. And Americans overwhelmingly agree that Barack Obama has been the— or was the better president than Donald Trump.

And then Donald Trump's assistant White House press secretary, Olivia Wiles, gives us, as Rupert says, a nice view from Pyongyang. Here, play this clip.

Absolutely. President Trump is burning up the roads. He keeps an insane schedule. He works full days at the White House. He gets on the road. He's going to a different state every single day because he loves this country. And really, nobody works harder than President Trump.
