Donald Trump has gone completely silent after that disastrous State of the Union he gave last night. Low energy, low ratings. Most people were watching the People State of the Union by the Midas Touch Network. Over 2 million views the Midas Touch Network received for the People State of the Union. Towards the end of Donald Trump's State of the Union speech, he looked lethargic, tired, unwell. He was clinging on to that podium for dear life. It looked like his hand was discolored. He was physically and mentally rotting before our eyes. It was incoherent. He couldn't string together sentences. So no statements from Donald Trump since the State of the Union. The one thing he posted before the State of the Union, because he takes zero accountability for anything, was, The Democrat shutdown is killing the blue states. That was his message heading into the State of the Union. No social media posts since since then. Now, he did send his cabinet sycophants to make their rounds on state regime media and to go on other corporate news. For example, you had Pam Bondi, his attorney general, once again, bragging about the Dow. She's doubling down on that.

00:02:02

She goes, The economy is booming because of Donald Trump. Now, this morning, we also learned that on January fourth of this past year, Todd Blanch, Donald Trump's Deputy Attorney General, sent a memo to FBI agents telling them to flag and not produce those FBI 302 reports, the interviews with Epstein victims and survivors survivors. We know that there are some interviews with survivors who have made accusations that Donald Trump sexually assaulted them when they were minors. Those documents are being, those accusations, those 302s are being withheld. Now we know that there was a memo sent specifically to withhold 302s. Pam Bondi, she goes on state regime media, and she's like, This was a great state of the Union. Everything is amazing. She said, That's why the economy is just crushing it right now. Everybody's thriving, she says. Here, play this clip.

00:03:05

These are the kinds of things they want to say he's racist. He really just loves Americans and is trying to protect families. Ainsley, as you know, he loves America. President Trump has made America safe again, and that's what he's doing. And in turn, that makes Americans feel safe to go to work, to have jobs, to be able to go to church, to be able to function in our country and be safe. And that's what's driving our economy, Donald Trump making America safe. And that's why our economy is at a record high. We all know that, and it's safe. We also had last night there Andy Wolf, and I've gotten to be very close with his mom, Melody. You know something else, Ainsley? You'll appreciate this, what President Trump said, what's very different. We are a praying administration. I love that. We all are. Our cabinet prayed before we went out there last night. We prayed for the President, we prayed for Congress, we prayed for the country, and that's because of Donald Trump. That's what's making America safe.

00:04:11

But here is what Lisa Rubin, who's an attorney, here's what she just told MS now about that January fourth memo that I just referenced here. Play this clip.

00:04:22

Berger. Lisa, you are all over this. What are you learning now? Well, Anna, this morning, I was looking to see whether the Department of Justice I didn't post it any new documents this morning regarding the alleged victim that we reported on yesterday. We thought maybe our reporting and that of NPR and an independent journalist named Roger Solenberger might have changed what they were willing to post. I didn't find any new documents about the woman who accused both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 or 14 years old back in the 1980s. But what I did find absolutely stunned me, and that's a January fourth, 2026 memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch. I just want to situate the date for you and our viewers. December 19th was the congressionally mandated date for compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And yet on January fourth, Deputy Attorney General Blanch is writing a nine-page memo to people at the Department who were charged with doing the first-level review of documents for production. One of the things that the Deputy Attorney General instructs them to do in this memo is once they determine that something is responsive to one of the nine categories that Congress mandates they need files for, He says, There are some types of documents that we want you to particularly flag or tag while you're going through them in the electronic database, and one of them is something called a 302.

00:05:40

Barrett knows this well as a former federal prosecutor, but a 302 is the form that the FBI I use this to memorialize interviews. That's the exact document that we reported yesterday was missing with respect to this particular.

00:05:52

Then you had other Trump sycophants making their rounds on state regime media as Donald Trump went silent. You have, for For example, Jim Jordan chairs the House Judiciary Committee. It's interesting. In a little bit this morning, I'm going to do a video on this Senate confirmation hearing of this Casey Means, who Donald Trump wants to be the next surgeon general, and she has an inactive medical license since her residency. She hasn't actually had a license to practice medicine, and she's been selling people all of these like quack and scammy stuff, and that's who he wants to have as the surgeon general. I mentioned that here as it relates to Jim Jordan, just because he chairs the Judiciary Committee and he's not a licensed lawyer, never took the bar exam to begin with. To me, this is very typical of MAGA. It's like, just find the licensed lawyer to be on the Judiciary Committee. Find someone who actually has a medical license to be the surgeon at a bare minimum. Can we talk about... Anyway. Here's what Jim Jordan had to say, and they have Kevin McCarthy on this panel as well. They're like, Oh, that speech was just the greatest.

00:07:04

That state of the Union could not be any better. Here, play this clip.

00:07:08

First, give us your sense of the President's speech last night. His apple pie. I mean, he would Congressional medals of Freedom, Congressional medals of Honor, Olympic gold medals, Purple Heart. It was his apple pie and patriotic as I've ever seen. The only one that compares, and Kevin and I have been in a lot of these, last night, I think, was the best one I've ever been to. But you go back a few years ago when When the first lady gave Rush the Medal of Freedom, that was a special night as well. But last night, I thought it was even better. I mean, the hockey team there, it was as apple pie as you get. I always say we make- Then you had people who have, for years, tried to pretend that they're like moderates.

00:07:44

You have Senator Thune, who's the Senate majority leader from South Dakota. He's asked a question by state regime media, and they're like, So we go in a war with Iran? And he's like, Well, we're going to have to defend our interest here because a nuclear Iran is something that is going to be horrible for the United States. Didn't you all say last June that you totally obliterated everything? Isn't that what you sold us? Everything was obliterated. We don't have to worry ever again about Iran getting nuclear weapons. It just seems like every six months, they go back to, Iran's about to violate us with nuclear weapons, and we need to go to war again when the American people are like, Just give me health care. I just want health care. I want to be able to live here. I want a good education. I want to be able to afford a home. I want to be able to afford things. Stop pretending that everything's affordable and things are great and inflation has been solved and the economy is booming. It isn't. Just stop it. Then you're going to go to war to do a wag the dog moment and try to distract from your cover up of the Epstein files and how horrible the economy is.

00:08:54

That's what the regime is doing here. Play this clip of Thune. The ominous leader Thune.

00:08:59

Folks are wondering, after this briefing, are we going to war? I don't know the answer to that, Ayesha. I think that the President is preparing us to defend America's vital national security interests, both in that region and here at home. We cannot abide, we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran. He made that clear in his speech last night. I think that's something I hope, at least, that big majority of Americans agree with. But we have vital interests in that region. Obviously, the capabilities that the Iranians have to hit a lot of our allies in the region is something that we have to be well-attuned to as well. I think the President is pursuing peace through strength by ensuring that America has the right assets in the right places at the right time, if necessary. Hopefully, it won't be necessary. If the Iranians come to the table, I think there's potentially a deal that could be made there.

00:09:50

Do you get-Let's face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I have to make a choice. I can either have a great night or a great next day. That is until I found pre-alcohol. Zbiotic's pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration. That's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. Ready to try it? Go to zbiotics. Com/mitis now.

He's running for governor of Florida, MAGA Republican Congress member from Florida. Even when you present him with the actual data, Are you aware the GDP is significantly less under Trump than under former President Biden? Are you aware of that? No, that's not true. We could look at the numbers. Biden's GDP growth was higher. Oh, That's not true. Let's talk about inflation. Okay, well, Biden was bringing down inflation that was caused by Trump's first term. Then even if you say it wasn't, by the time Biden left office, inflation was heading down to 2%, and now it's heading up past 3%. That's just the facts. That's just what the numbers are. But they live in this alternative fantasy where their dear leader can't do anything wrong, and the numbers aren't actually the numbers. Here's what Byron Donald says. Let's play this clip. The previous economy under Joe Biden, we all know that was a terrible economy for everybody. Everybody was suffering in America.

00:12:06

You brought up GDP growth. Inflation was higher, but GDP growth was also higher during the Biden administration than certainly it was last quarter in the average of year to year. But, congressman, I do want to ask you about GDP growth. You can go check GDP growth. I mean, you can say what you want about inflation, but the GDP is what the GDP was. Gdp growth last quarter was 1. 4%.

00:12:25

John, here's what I will tell you.

00:12:28

Under Joe Biden's economy, Wages adjusted for inflation were down in America. I mean, families were falling behind left and right.

00:12:35

Thirteen months with Donald Trump back on the job, wages adjusted for inflation are up. Then, to their credit, I guess here at least, state regime pressed J. D. Vance this morning on the fact that Donald Trump's polls were all horrible because the American people absolutely despised this train wreck, this wrecking ball, this mess of a regime. Then J. D. Vance, wearing his makeup. He's just like, Well, it's Biden's fault. This is all Biden right now. Okay, dude, just stop it. Act like leaders. Act like adults. Let's play this clip. To the issue that might clip this administration, and that's the economy.

00:13:18

On screen now, we can show you three of the most recent polls about the economy. How about Americans are feeling about it?

00:13:23

Everything in red.

00:13:24

Our Fox polling disapproved at 59%, Washington Post, ABC News, 57, Wall Street Journal at 54. It seems like you're pushing a car uphill, and you've got nine months to turn it around. You know Democrats are Jews. They are ready to vote tomorrow. Do you have enough runway to get this economy where it needs to be before November? Well, Bill, in some ways we are pushing a car uphill because the Biden administration left us such a disaster of an economy, the highest peacetime debt in American history, skyrocketing inflation. A lot of Americans who had lost $3,000 was at how much the the average American had lost in take home pay. Now, in a year, we've actually seen the average American gain about $1,200 in take home pay.

00:14:08

But if you're sitting at home from the perspective of the Biden administration, you are still worse off than you were when Joe Biden took over. So we are absolutely pushing that car uphill. I'm going to do an entire video on this as well. But something that's not getting, I think, enough attention was on the sidelines of the State of the Union, where they were doing interviews with some Trump cabinet officials. By the way, I didn't really see a lot of Howard Lutnik interviews on the sidelines. Us Trade Representative Jamison Greer. It was talking about not just how to implement these 15% tariffs against the world because they're only 10% Now, after Donald Trump had the other tariff struck down by the Supreme Court, then Trump said, I'm doing 15%, but he only signed the proclamation that said 10%, so they're trying to figure that out, I guess. But one of the things that Jamison Greer also said is as it relates to Kuz Kuzma, the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement, or in the US, sometimes it's referred to as USMCA, which is the successor to NAFTA. It's a free trade agreement. That's the purpose of it. Free trade between Mexico, Canada, and the United States.

00:15:17

There is now a Kuzma or USMCA review and a renegotiation taking place of it because it has a certain term to it. Now, Jamieson Greer is saying, We're going to figure out what the right tariffs are under Kuzma and under USMCA. It's like, What do you mean the right tariffs under Kuzma? The purpose of Kuzma, it's a free trade agreement, which, by the way, Trump had renegotiated during his first term in 2018, 2019. Free trade, it's not a tariff thing. As Andrew Coyne says, What an exciting... He's being sarcastic. He goes, What an exciting opportunity for Canada. We can participate in the reshoring of production to the United States from, say, Canada. It's very simple, as the Trade Representative explains, We agree to open our markets to the United States, and in return, they agree to close their markets to us. Where do we sign? The Trump regime people think that everybody else is an idiot and everybody else knows what they're doing. Anyway, here, play this clip of Jamieson Greer. Let's play it.

00:16:24

Ambassador Greer. I'm sorry. Can we just ask you, what's the status of talks with Canada right now? Right now with Canada, they have a new chief negotiator that will meet our chief negotiator. I'm in contact with Dominic Le Blanc, who's Minister of Commerce in Canada. We keep in contact. They express an interest in having some alternative deal. Right now, again, as I mentioned earlier, we're quite focused on reshoring supply chains related to automotive, steel, aluminum. We've shipped 300,000 metric tons of steel more last than we did the year before, made more steel than Japan did last year for the first time in decades. That's what we're focused on. If Canada wants to come in and participate in this type of reshoring we're trying to do, we're happy to have those discussions. What do you mean by that, participate in the reshore? What do you mean? Well, what I will say is when we go to other countries and we make a deal with them, the other countries, they agree that we can have a tariff on them, that we can have a protective tariff to protect our industries as we try to reshore, and they open their markets to us.

00:17:30

Canada wants to agree that we can have some level of higher tariff on them while they open up their markets to us and things like dairy and other things, then that's a helpful conversation. We have very open lines of communication. We'll keep talking. I tend to try not to negotiate in the press or anything like that, and we have discussions ongoing. If something happens, I'll let you know. But isn't the point of USMCA, so there aren't tariffs? Isn't that the point of USMCA? The concern What we heard about USMCA is that when we put it into effect, the hope was that there would be more critical supply chains reshore to the United States, there'd be more US content. We actually ended up seeing cars increase from Mexico and that thing. There's a lot of good in the deal, but there are a lot of things where reshore didn't happen fast enough. Us content didn't happen fast enough. We think that if we want to have that deal, you need to have better rules, stricter rules, to make sure there's more US content in what we have. We don't want a situation where countries like Vietnam or China can send a bunch of stuff to Canada, do a screwdriver operation, and send it across the border to United States duty free.

00:18:36

We know that Canada has talked about having closer ties, economic ties with China. I don't want a situation where Canada is being used as a backdoor for Chinese goods. There are a lot of issues like that that would have to be- Mr. Beard, can I ask you about these deals?

00:18:48

Then one more clip from Jameson Greer right here where he says, Actually, Trump may raise the tariffs to 50% now globally. He may do 50%, let's play.

00:18:57

With their deals. One analyst was saying that Section 338 could be used, that you could actually go all the way up to 50% in terms of tariffs there based on that legal authority. Is that on the table? That legal authority is about 100 years old. It's still good law. We've looked at that. We think that could be helpful in specific circumstances. That law focuses on when countries discriminate against the US relative to other countries. A lot of countries have the same tariff toward other countries. They have the same policy across countries. You have to look at a really specific instance where the US is discriminated against relative to a third country. I think there are probably going to be instances where that matter. But I think the Section 301 investigations and then the Section 232 investigations that the Commerce Department has, these are areas where we can have very durable investigations, very durable tariffs where necessary, and they've stood up to legal scrutiny in the past, and they will again. Now, if you're talking about excess-So Donald Trump going silent post State of the Union, what a horrible State of the Union that was.

00:20:00
