Ben Meiselas 0:00
We have a lot to discuss on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. I want to talk about the government shutdown appearing like it's going to end as this continuing resolution that will cause over 20 million Americans to lose their health care was supported by eight cowardly Democrats. We'll talk about that. We'll give you our views and opinions there.

Why did eight Senate Democrats vote to advance the continuing resolution and how does it affect healthcare?

Ben Meiselas 0:20
We'll talk about convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell bragging on emails that the House Democratic Judiciary Committee was able to get their hands on, where she basically describes it as like a five-star resort. She gets everything she wants. The prison warden helps her with her legal brief. She gets puppies. We'll talk about that and more. Donald Trump got booed at the Washington Commanders NFL game, like booed loudly, like unquestionably despised and detested at that stadium. And they tried to like set it up where he would be talking about like the troops, And they're like, how could you boo him if he's talking about the troops? But the moment he went on that jumbotron, the people there booed him.
Ben Meiselas 1:04
Talk about California Governor Newsom essentially functioning as a shadow president, like representing the United States by representing California. which is the fourth largest economy in the world if it was a country, at these international conferences. He's in Brazil right now at the United Nations 30th Annual Climate Conference in Sao Paulo, talking about the importance of addressing climate change responsibly and building economies of the future. We'll talk about all that and more later. Let's bring in Brett and Jordy brothers. You know, I was flying back on this trip from New York. People were wondering why my background looked different. I had a trip in New York. I went out there with my family.
Ben Meiselas 1:46
I got on the plane. And as I was heading back on Sunday, I first started hearing that they're could have been these eight Democrats who were, you know, in my view, surrendering, capitulating, you pick the word. And I was like, no, come on, that's not, there's no way that's happening. And then my wifi was kind of spotty. It was decent on the plane. But then as the trip progressed, I was following along and I couldn't say anything about it because I was stuck on the plane. So the moment I got home after a five and a half, six hour flight, by the time I got home, it was like seven hours with the drive home. You know, I went to the computer right away to call out those eight Democratic senators. That video has since gone viral where I just unleashed, I just let people know my feelings about it because I was frankly pissed.
Ben Meiselas 2:32
But I also don't want to, you know, use that energy in a negative way. I want to use that energy to build this network and to really promote and amplify, rather, people who fight for people. Let's leave it at that. Brett Jordy, how are you?
Mat Nuclear 2:48
Yeah, I think you had a lot of pent-up anger and aggression on that flight that you let out in that take. But, you know, I'm with you there. I'm honestly candidly hugely disappointed in the decision to fold on this with this deal and not getting the one thing that you were holding out for. I have, like, a whole lot of thoughts on it, including I made a whole list of, like, pros and cons taking the deal, you know, not taking the deal that I could go through in this episode. But for now, to not waste too much time in this intro, I'm going to say what's up, Midas Mighty? What's up, Ben and Jordi? It's great to be here. Jordi, how you doing?
Dr. Craig Spencer 3:18
I'm doing as well as one could be doing, especially after what we saw over the weekend. I could get into it right now, or we could toss it to Ben, start the show, and then that's where we could go. What do you guys think we should do?
Ben Meiselas 3:30
I'll jump in right away. Look, you can't make deals with fascists. You can't make deals with fraudsters. Donald Trump is a notorious deal breaker, a destroyer. He doesn't follow contracts the same way he doesn't follow the Constitution. He just doesn't follow it. You can't make deals with this guy. Just the idea of saying, well, the Republicans said that they're going to negotiate in good faith.
