First, Donald Trump is dealing with the MAGA Republicans rebelling against him, essentially cursing him out. I'll show you some receipts there. Donald Trump has been exposed, manipulating the latest inflation data to claim that inflation regarding housing and rent is basically zero %. I will show you the receipts there. And the New York Times has just done an exposé showing Donald Trump's deep friendship with Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s, and this was a sickening exposé, but one the American people need to hear before the Epstein files are supposed to be released tomorrow. And we sure know that Donald Trump is going to try and hide it. Just a reminder, hit subscribe. The Midas Touch YouTube channel is on its way to 6 million subscribers. As you know, we're under attack by the Trump regime. They want us shut down. You may think you're subscribed. Double check that you actually are subscribed. Let's start with the New York Times his exposé on Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein during the 1990s through the early 2000s. The article is called Don's Best Friend: How Epstein and Trump Bonded Over the Pursuit of Women. The President tried to minimize their friendship, but documents and interviews reveal an intense and complicated relationship.

Another way to describe that as deeply, deeply creepy. Chasing women was a game of ego and dominance. Female bodies were their currency. The two men forged a bond intense enough to leave others who knew them with the impression that they were each other's closest friends. And folks, it gets sickening. An assistant who worked late for Epstein, recalled that sometimes when the office emptied out, Epstein would check to see that she was at her desk, and he would put Trump on speakerphone. Trump She said, seemed to enjoy regaling Epstein with tales of his sexual exploits. And Epstein seemed to delight in how uncomfortable it made her to listen to Trump talk about those sexual exploits. She remembered one call in the mid-1990s on which the two men discussed how much pubic hair a particular woman had and whether there was enough for Mr. Epstein to floss his teeth with. With a child sex trafficker, Epstein, mocking and talking about that. Disgusting. Disgusting. Also, Epstein frequently mentioned his friendship with Trump, according to several accusers, telling one that he had a bedroom reserved at Mar-a-Lago. This comes at the same time where Ghislaine Maxwell is now proceeding pro per, meaning she's representing herself in a habeas corpus petition to overturn her conviction in New York by claiming new evidence has just come to light about the FBI's conduct that should lead to her release.

You know what she's going to argue? She's going to argue that Donald Trump has said that her prosecution is a hoax, that the Epstein files are one big hoax. So if the President's saying it, are you saying my conviction is a hoax? And you fired the former prosecutor, Maureen Komi, who was the lead prosecutor, and you said that her dad was involved in the So if the President's saying that, shouldn't I go free? As I told you, she would use those arguments. Also, Oversight Democrats. Democrats from the House Oversight Committee released additional photos from the Epstein estate to the public. Some horrific stuff here as well. You have Epstein talking about the age of girls, the weight. It's disgusting stuff. We'll also be covering, of course, when the Epstein files get released tomorrow. Now, as I mentioned as well, the receipts about these MAGA Republicans who are pissed off that Donald Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson have refused to allow even a vote on the Affordable Care Act, subsidy extension before the holidays. You'll recall a discharge petition has now been effectuated. It's been assigned by the requisite, 218 members, four Republicans, joined with the Democrats to sign Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffrey's discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care subsidies for a three-year period.

But Maga Mike, as you know in the video I did earlier today, has shut down the House of Representatives. He said, Everybody's going on vacation to prevent a vote on this until Congress gets back sometime in mid-January, early to mid-January. This was Maga Mike's tactic as well to shut down the House, not to swear in at Elite to Griehalva. It is noteworthy that right as these Epstein files are supposed to be released, Maga Mike orders everybody to go home. I think that's a little bit suspicious. Take a look as you have Mike Lawler and Kylie, these MAGA Republicans out there, pissed that this affordable Carer Act extension vote is not happening because they know that it's going to lead to a blue wave. They're worried about themselves. They know it's going to cause a blue tsunami. What they should be worried about, what I'm worried What you're worried about is the American people right now who are going to lose their health care, 20 to 24 million Americans who can't afford plans under the affordable care. This is a crisis. This is a crisis. Here, play this clip. So where does that lead to? You sound pissed.

You sound pissed.

I am pissed for the American people. This is absolute bullshit. It's absurd that we are in a body with 435 members. Everybody has a responsibility to serve their district, to serve their constituents.

What do you say, go to the speaker who's not going to give you a vote on this AC extension?

That's a failure of leadership. We have members on both sides who believe this is an urgent issue, and it is for all of our members in terms of what their constituents are going to have to deal with in the start of the new year. So what's wrong with having-Now, while all of this is taking place, while this crisis is taking place, just to be clear, what is Dr..

Oz talking about, who now is one of the leaders within the health department? Here's what he talked about, and it was in connection with, I guess, gender affirming care as the Trump regime wants to attack immigrants in the transgender community. This is what Oz was talking about today. Play this clip.

Vaginoplasty A vaginoplasty, a procedure a child does not need, costs $60,000. Shockingly, a phaloplasty, the creation of a penis, costs on average in America, according to this data, high quality, $150,000 per child. I do believe, with doing some work, that these prices have continued to increase with increasing manufactured demand. I must point out that the creation of a vagina, in that case of a phalloplasty or a scrotoplasty where you add testicles, that's extra.

Now, as I mentioned earlier, one of the things that Donald Trump was exposed doing today is manipulating the inflation data because all of a All of a sudden, it's like, wow, so inflation just dropped pretty dramatically all of a sudden, especially in housing and rent. So wait a minute. In October and November, all of a sudden, housing, rental prices just dropped completely. How did that happen? Oh, wait a minute. The Bureau of Labor Statistics just assumed rent and OER was zero for October. Zero. So they acted like there was no… They just put the number zero. It wasn't zero. But because the government was shut down, that's what they did. They just reported zero. Also, one of the things they did to show a massive drop in inflation is they only use the data basically from Black Friday sales to show, look all these goods and products and clothing. Look at all the massive drop that just took place. So they didn't use anything but the Black Friday sales, or they primarily used the Black Friday sales because they said, Well, the government was shut down all this, so we're just going to use Black Friday, basically, as our only metric.

I mean, this stuff is getting exposed over and over again. You know what else has been exposed? The shell game that Donald Trump played. As this one account says. Every Every single thing Trump said last night in his speech was a lie, including the money that he said he was giving to the US troops. Donald Trump said that he was giving $1,776 as a warrior dividend to our troops. Remember, he said that? Well, as Thomas Noveli writes, Trump's $1,776 checks for 1. 45 million troops announced Wednesday night come from congressionally allocated reconciliation funds intended to subsidize housing allowances for Service Members, a senior official confirmed to Defense One. Great work here by Defense One. Just think about that. Trump is taking housing allowance, and this all ties together. He's manipulating the housing data. We have a housing crisis. But when it comes to our troops, he's taking their housing allowance away, and he's saying, I'm giving you a $1,000 in $776 check as a gimmick, as our editor-in-chief, Ron Philipkowski writes, So Trump is taking money out of their housing allowance approved by Congress and giving it to them in a bonus, so it looks like it came from him.

It's just a shell game with the military pay from the ultimate con man. And that's the thing. These housing allowances, it's a big deal, and Congress has continued to try to press the Defense Department that they need to use it for what it's actually allocated for, subsidizing housing, housing allowances. But the Trump regime, you saw what Donald Trump does, a gimmick. Now, with all of this going on, with this shell game taking place, you can never lose sight of Donald Trump enriching himself. This is ultimately about also enriching Donald Trump. So what went down this morning? So Trump Media, which in my opinion is a failing media company. That's the parent company to Truth Social. We've reported how every quarter they lose tens of millions of dollars. The stock was absolutely tanking. Remember all the reports I was doing, how it basically completely tanked. All these people lost their money. So Trump Media today announced a $6 billion merger with a fusion company called TAE Technologies, a fusion power company. Now, there are currently no commercial plants producing electricity using fusion, which is a futuristic technology that carries the potential to generate abundant energy without the risks associated with nuclear power, CNBC writer Kevin Bruminger writes.

With all of Donald Trump deregulating all of AI, with all of the data centers, Trump Media now acquires or mergers with this fusion company that is also dependent on the Department of Energy for approvals and for grants. In my opinion, again, first amendment opinion that I am giving here, the fusion company is like, Well, if we just join with Trump, we'll get all of these approvals and we'll utilize Trump's position, and this will allow us to just streamline everything that we need to do to cut ahead of the line, and we can just plow forward. So Trump Media now is a parent company for this. And of course, in my opinion, this is because Donald Trump is using his access to the Department of Energy to enrich himself. So the stock now goes up 33% on this announcement. I don't know how anybody can be okay with this. This is patently unacceptable, in my opinion. Finally, let me just share with you at Trump's National Economic Advisor, Kevin Hassett, was on MSNBC, and he was asked, Why does Trump exaggerate all his numbers? Why is he lying about all the numbers? I want you to watch Hassett's response.

Play this clip.

We talked earlier in the show. Steve Ratter was here, helped us with a fact check. The President does have some good news to talk about the economy, gas prices, for instance. But Why the need to constantly exaggerate gas prices are $3, not $250? The idea of suggesting that I think a lot of the impact of inflation, yes, some progress made, but not as much as he says. Why not just tell this present American people and say, Hey, look, this These are the facts I can understand how you feel, why they need to exaggerate.

I'd have to go back and look at the specific language, and I hate coming back with questions for you guys. But the President, in order to make sure that everybody understood the facts and the facts were documented, spent a lot of time with us, with our team, preparing slides that showed the data for what he was talking about in the speech. And in some networks, while he was speaking, they showed the slides. In some networks, they didn't. I just thought that was unusual. I was expecting when I was flipping around to just see the slides everywhere. Gosh, we spent so much more time on them. But I think that the President had documentation for the facts that he was saying. They were in the slides. If there's a specific number you'd like to talk about, maybe he misspoke or something, I'm happy to talk about it.

But I wonder-There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 Million. Thanks for watching.
