Transcript of Trump Has Disaster Sunday After Late Night Meltdown
The MeidasTouch PodcastDonald Trump is having a disastrous Sunday all night. I'm talking 12: 37 AM into the morning. He's been panic posting some of the most unhinged and deranged things. Then he sent Vice President Vance out to do media. That was a complete disaster. Maggie Mike Johnson's appearances this morning was a disaster. Let me show you what he posted last night at 12: 37 AM. He goes, The Biden FBI placed 274 four agents into the crowd on January sixth. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a scam. Do something, President D. J. T. Now, on January sixth, 2021, who was the President? Donald Trump was. Who was running the FBI? Donald Trump was. So this is what he's posting at 12: 37 AM, blaming former President Biden for some deranged conspiracy that the FBI was actually the perpetrators of the January sixth insurrection. It should be noted that after the insurrection took place, it is true that FBI agents showed up because crimes were committed and the FBI had to investigate the crimes and stop some of the remaining criminal activity taking place in the absence of Donald Trump calling the National Guard or actually taking action because Trump was behind the insurrection.
That's what he was posting at 12: 37 AM. And then he posted this super early in the morning. He goes, The Ukraine Impeachment of Me Scam was a far bigger illegal hoax than Watergate. So Donald Trump calling Watergate an illegal hoax, by the way, this morning. I sincerely hope the necessary authorities including Congress, are looking into this. Adam Shifty-Shift was so dishonest and corrupt. So many laws and protocols were violated and just plain broken, exclamation point. President D. J. Well, we even know right now that Melania has some back channel communications with Putin, where she said that she returned Russian children from Ukraine to Russia, fueling Putin's propaganda. And she talked about, Oh, I've secured the release of eight children, including Russian children in Ukraine. And she described Putin as someone who's very sincere about his efforts to try to figure out a solution here. That was what Malani was saying on Friday. Over what? A month and a half, two months ago, you were in Alaska with this guy, having our troops go on their knees and roll out the red carpet for Putin. And every time you say you're going to impose sanctions, all Putin has to do is say, Oh, actually, Donald should win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Then you're like, Oh, I guess Putin's my friend now. We see it happening in front of us right now. Then Donald Trump posted this. I don't even understand what this graphic is supposed to mean. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Then it says, Under Sleepy Joe, Ice Cream Break, 100 billion. Then it says, During Trump, $1 trillion. This is Donald Trump's new slogan. This is actually a post from Donald Trump. It went from, Make America great again, too. Again, this is a quote from Trump, Don't worry, we will survive. Trump is now President. Don't worry, we will survive. Let's be clear, things are much worse right now under Donald Trump. Inflation is higher, worst housing market since 1995. Inflation, as I said, surging. Jobless claims continue to rise to levels last seen during great recessions, construction and manufacturing recession taking place, a disastrous trade war against the world. Trump has ripped health care away from tens of millions of Americans, which Democrats are trying to restore. That Is Trump's America right now? Is America's GDP contracting less than it was under former President Biden? But that's the slogan, Don't worry, we will survive. So Donald Trump sends out Maga Mike Johnson.
And the Republican philosophy is just lie, big lies, over and over and over again. Just repeat it over and over and over again. So Mike and Mike goes, Republicans are the party for fixing health care. We just demonstrated that with the one big, beautiful bill, the disastrous budget bill, which rips health care away. He goes, We're showing that we helped health care as rural hospitals are shutting down, as your premiums are about to be four, five times what they were monthly. Starting very soon. This is what they say. Here, play this clip.
Republicans are the party that are fixing health care. We just demonstrated that in the one big, beautiful bill, the Work & Family's Tax Cut.
Then they have JD Vance do some of the morning shows. Jd Vance is on with Kristen Welker, and Welker says, Look, by Trump's own calculus, he's the President. Isn't this he controls all branches of Congress? So if he's a dealmaker, let's bring the people together. What's going on, JD? Watch JD's awful answer here play this clip.
Okay, I do want to turn to the big news here back at home, the ongoing government shutdown. I want to play you a little bit of what President Trump had to say about shutdowns passed when Barack Obama was President. Take a look.
If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. They're not going to be talking who the head of the House was, the head of the Senate. I really think the pressure is on the President. If you were President, what would you do? Well, very simply, you have to get everybody in a room. You You have to be a leader. The President has to lead. You have to get the people in a room, and you have to get a deal.
Mr. Vice President, by President Trump's own calculus, the pressure is on him to get everyone into a room and get a deal. Is it not?
Well, Kristin, I wouldn't focus on the political pressure to get a deal. We really don't care what the poll numbers say. But what about what President Trump said?
What about what Mr. Trump said? His own words.
Well, Kristin, When the President was talking back then when Barack Obama was President about the political realities. We are focused now on the governing realities because we're in power and we're trying to make the American people's government work for the American people, despite the fact that Chuck Schumer, the Democrats, have shut down the government.
We have to-So then on Fox, you have Maggie Mike Johnson asked by the host. We know that people are starting to get these notices about their premiums going up 3 to 4X. So doesn't something have to be done soon? And then Mike Johnson's like, Well, this was the Democrats' plan. They're running out the clock, obviously. We wanted to negotiate health care in October, but now we can't negotiate health care because of the government shutdown. Do you see how they lie about everything? Just extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies the same way you extended permanently the tax cuts for the billionaires and gave the billionaires all of these subsidies. Let's keep the Americans health care in place. Then we want to negotiate something better. Trump had the entire first administration to come up with the plan, but we got, In two weeks, I got a plan. In two weeks, he had the first nine months to come up with the health care plan. Instead, he lies and claims that prescription drug prices are going down 1,600%, which is impossible. Or he posts AI videos of secret alien technology from QAnon conspiracies that he says cures everybody's illness if you go into something called a MedBed.
Those aren't plans, okay? The American people need to see real plans. Are we talking about universal health care, which I support? Are we talking about improving Obamacare, perhaps with more subsidies? You all don't want to do that, obviously. So what the hell is your plan? That's the thing that I want to emphasize over and over again with these MAGA frauds. This is what MAGA Mike Johnson says here. Play this clip. New resolution.
What about his issue, though, that open enrollment starts in November? People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's something that's got to be resolved before.
Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October. They shut the government down October first. We had always been counting on using these four weeks in October to finish up those discussions. The great irony is it is they themselves that are doing it. And Shannon We cannot lose the simple fact that their counter proposal to fund the government was $1. 5 trillion in new spending, as you noted. They wanted to give money back for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and all sorts of things, and they wanted to claw back the elimination of fraud, waste, and abuse that we took out of Medicaid to make it work better, and the $50 billion that Republicans put into the law to prop up rural hospitals. What they're saying today makes no sense.
Well, he does talk about the fact, and we know that there have been rural hospitals that have closed. That's happened here in the Virginia area and beyond. So what about that? And his contention that a lot of people will be kicked off Medicaid. And yes, people talk about waste, fraud, and abuse, but there's real concern by some analysis that there will be other people that may qualify in some way that are going to risk losing health care coverage that the leader is talking about there.
So much to be said there. The rural hospitals that are in trouble right now are not because of Republican policies. This is the legacy of what has happened under Obamacare. You just heard the leader of the Democrats in the House acknowledge that Obamacare is unaffordable. When they passed the Ned law in 2010, they promised us it was going to make health care more affordable. They put it in the name of the law. It did exactly the opposite.
And again, with all of the lies taking place, it's why it's so important that we have a healthy information environment. And one of the things that we see over and over again is that the right-wing media just doesn't show their own viewers what the hell is really going on. Take a look at this story. I got this one from Ground News. It says, Carny, Prime Minister Carny of Canada, condems Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy during a call with Zelenskyy. Now, in terms of right-wing media, only 8% of all of the coverage on the story came from right-wing media, whereas Does left wing media and center media accounted for 92 %? So in other words, right wing media is preventing their own listeners and viewers from just getting the facts about what's happening in the world. That's why I stay up to date on all the news through my number one news source, it's Ground News. It's a subscriber-funded app and news site, and every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story and then show you what the right's reporting, what the center's reporting, and what the left is reporting and what the left is reporting.
It's a game changer because as active responsible citizens and as journalists, we must get our news from reliable sources, especially right now. That's why I love Ground News. For every article, they also tell you, was it a media conglomerate or was it independent media? That's pretty cool. I found that independent media is more reliable.

We're going to give you that Vantage Subscription plan for 40% off if you want to use the same news sources that I use. Join us by going to ground. News/mtn.

J. D. Vance asked a very simple question on Face the Nation. So Donald Trump says that he's a dealmaker. It doesn't seem like he's acting like one here. Let's play this clip.
Well, as Chuck Schumer As I said, it's not all lawmakers. It's the Senate leadership that really is driving this shutdown. The House has already passed a bill to reopen the government. It's the Senate. And again, it's a far left contingent of Senate Democrats.
But the President says he's a dealmaker.
Why doesn't he?
To force a deal here? Why doesn't he tell Republicans like the speaker, Get your lawmakers back here. Come into my office. Let's hammer this thing out.
Margaret, it's a totally fair question. The answer is because this isn't a dealmaking, this isn't a negotiation, this is hostage-shaking. Chuck Schumer has not said to us, This is what we need. He said that unless you give us what we need, we're going to shut down the government. That is a totally different thing. If Chuck Schumer wants to come into the Oval Office or come to my house, he is welcome to talk about how to fix health care policy for Americans.
Of course, we want to- And then, Maggie Mike Johnson, strikes a very patronizing tone, as Aaron Rupert puts it, about Marjorie Taylor-Green saying that Republicans are not doing anything about people's health care. Here, play this clip.
So let's get back to those subsidies for Obamacare. He mentioned Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Green, a Republican. There are other Republicans who are raising alarm. Here's what she said in part on X, I'm absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will double if the tax credits conspire this year. Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us about this or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums, she says, again, doubling. So what is the guidance from you, the leader of this party?
I had a thoughtful conversation with my friend Marjorie Taylor-Green on the phone the other night, a couple of nights ago, to inform her that there are many Republicans in Congress that have been working around the clock on this. They're on the committees of jurisdiction that deal with this. Marjorie doesn't serve on those committees, so I offered to have her come into the room and be a part of that discussion if indeed she wants to do that. There has been a lot of work done on this. We have hundreds of ideas, literally on the table, to fix health care, to make it more affordable for the American people, to make access more available, and to increase the quality of care. There's There's a lot that can be done, but you have to build consensus in a large, deliberative public body like this. Again, what they're saying right now, the reason they're talking about health care is because they're trying to create a distraction. We have voted eight times to pay the troops, pay TSA agents, Border Patrol agency, everybody serving in the federal government, and to make sure these services are provided for veterans and the elderly disabled who need them so much.
Eight times now, Democrats in Congress have voted to close the government. We're on day 10. It's real pain for real people, and they seem not Then J.
D. Vance has asked, CBS is confirming on Saturday that Trump is rescinding some of the layoffs that just took place. He just fired about 5,000 more people, including people who respond to Ebola, federal measles response. Can you explain this? Watch Maggie Mike's response. Let's play it.
Specifically, when it comes to what's happening within the health sector, CBS did confirm on Saturday that the Trump administration went and rescinded some of the layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly laid off on Friday and then told Saturday, That's not the case. But some of them were involved with the federal measles response. Some of them were involved with the response on Ebola. How does a mistake like this happen? Did the White House even talk to the CDC?
Well, so two responses to that, Margaret. First of all, I want to share the American people that the frontline health care workers, the people who monitor measles, Ebola, and other infectious diseases, those people are still on the job, and we're trying very hard to figure out how to ensure those people get a paycheck, of course, because we want them to be happy and healthy. We want them to be able to do their jobs well. But the second point, Margaret, is the government shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. We are figuring out how to take money from some areas and give it to other areas. That chaos is because Schumer and the far left Democrats shut down the government. We have to remember, Margaret, that the vast majority of Republicans, and to their great credit, a number moderate Democrats have consistently voted to reopen the government. But if Chuck Schumer and the far left Senate Democrats are going to shut down the government, that is going to lead to some chaos. You ask, how does this mistake happen? It happened because Chuck Schumer shut down the government We're trying to make sure that essential services still function in the face of that shutdown.
But that was a White House decision to lay off these individuals. You heard the President talking about that. That wasn't Chuck Schumer's decision. I understand your broader point on the negotiations, but the layoffs came from the President and the White House.
But my point is, Margaret, that we have to do layoffs because we have to preserve necessary resources to do the most critical things that the government does. And in that face, you're going to have some chaos. You're going to lay off people, frankly, Margaret, that the White House doesn't want to lay off. We would like to reopen the government and ensure these essential services stay on. But unfortunately, in an environment where we're dealing with limited resources, where the government is shut down, we've got to move some things around. And in that moving things around, there is some chaos, there is some unpredictable. But we're trying to do everything that we can with the hand of cards that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have dealt us.
That's our-And then finally, you all know I've been shouting this atop the rooftop right here. And Daniel Dale from CNN ran this fact check. Trump falsely claims he secured 17 trillion in investments this year. The White House's own list says 8. 8 $10 trillion, and here's what that list included. So we've been reporting this over and over again that the 17 trillion is fake. And by the way, the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, about $60 billion. That was the biggest in history. This is a $17 trillion Ponzi scheme in plain view. And while I appreciate Daniel Dale's fact check here, the issue is that this is beyond a fact check. So when Daniel Dale also then will fact check like, did Marjorie Taylor and actually not clap when Zolinsky was giving a speech. They once fact-checked us on that because we were like, She didn't clap. And then Daniel Dale did a whole story on that. But she really didn't clap, to be very clear. But to then equate, though, now, Trump lying about 17 trillion. Do we all realize what a massive lie this is that he says that he brought in 17 trillion dollars on a tariff shelf?
You don't get much bigger lies than that. So then Daniel we have it right here, goes through all of the areas that they claim is 8. 8 trillion. It's like 600 billion from EU firms, even though the European Union has made clear that it's an estimate of potential private investment. 600 billion from Saudi Arabia, even though the Saudi's vague $600 billion pledge encompasses both investments and trade. $500 billion from India, even though it now is basically saying that that's the bilateral trade between the country. Countries. $1. 2 trillion from Qatar. Qatar's annual GDP is $166 billion. They're not giving $1. 2 trillion. $1. 4 trillion from the United Arab Emirates. Their entire annual GDP is $400 billion. They're not giving $1. 2 trillion to the United States, $1 trillion from Japan. Just a made-up number. $450 billion from South Korea. They said they're not doing it. More than $1 trillion in vague corporate pledges. It's all It's all a scam. It is a massive Ponzi scheme in plain sight that this house of cards is going to fall. We saw the crypto markets get $19 billion and was liquidated to the tune of $19 billion on Friday, the worst in history.
We saw the markets tank on Friday, down 2% to 3% respectively, some of the different exchanges. He's a fraud and a liar who's bankrupted things his entire life with all of this fraud, and we're seeing it magnified here. I think it was former President Obama who said, When you get into the White House, it amplifies who you are. If you're a good person, it amplifies those qualities. If you're a fraud, criminal, sexual-abusing, horrific human being like Trump is, then it amplifies those as well. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers, and thanks for watching.
