Mr. Minister of Budget, what kind of signs do you see in the air at the moment? No signs at all. Instead, I see amazing signs on the streets, on the streets, on the slopes, wherever and on the ground. What are you talking about? Not anything, but the winter season of Budgesport. I mean, what? Whatever, all the signs are coming from there. We're offering the best signs with a 60% discount.

These MAGA Republican leaders are spiraling out of control in the House, in the Senate, Trump's cabinet members, just trying to justify the cruelty, the incompetence, and trying to make sense of Trump's plummeting approval as Americans blame Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, rightfully so, for this disastrous government shutdown. Let me give you a case in point. You have MAGA Republican Congresswoman McClain I'm not even sure what the purpose of this is. I'm not sure who her intended audience is. I like to think when I do videos, who's my intended audience? Ask yourself, who's her intended audience for this? Here, play this clip.
Just so you're clear. And let's remember, they did it, and let's make sure that we don't forget, and let's make sure we remind them who voted to keep food on the table and who voted to take food off the table. Because at some point in time, they're going to reverse what they're talking about and do what they normally do, and that's try and blame us. But let's hold them accountable for once to the votes that they've taken. I can assure you I will.
I think the audience, we know who it is. It's Donald Trump because I like to craft my arguments around logic and facts, and I like to bring receipts. When you know there's $6 billion or so sitting in a contingency fund to make sure that you can pay people their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program while the government is giving $40 billion to Argentina. I like to lead with just the data and the facts versus just like whatever the hell that was. And then you have a Trump cabinet member. You have Treasury Secretary Scott Besant out here saying, I just want everybody to know promises made, promises kept. Wall Street's doing amazing. He goes, the workers, next year's your year. We got you next year.
Didn't Donald Trump say on day one? Here, play this clip.
because what's really happened here is the low-end consumer has gotten killed, and President Trump has promises made, promises kept on his campaign promises, and it's gonna start flowing through to working Americans next year. We're gonna have, you know, Wall Street's done great, and Main Street can do great also, so I think we're gonna have parallel prosperity next year.
parallel prosperity, maybe the 22 trillion fake dollars that Donald Trump talks about bringing in. It'll just trickle down. Maybe the billionaires will just trickle down their breadcrumbs on all of us. Wouldn't that be, would that be great? But he's got a big deal he wants to announce. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says Donald Trump, he went to Asia and he brought back something big, 25 million tons per year of soybeans. But should we look at the fact that the year before, Scott Besant, that China was purchasing 27 metric tons of soybeans?
How did Meiselas frame Trump and GOP responsibility for the government shutdown?
So the deal you did was to sacrifice America's AI superiority and technology in order to have China buy less soybeans? That's the art of the deal? Here, play this clip.
And Maria, one of the big, big parts of this agreement, and I'm going to break the news here on your story, is the massive amount of agriculture purchases that the Chinese are going to be doing in this agreement. So the Chinese have agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of soybeans during this season right now, between now and the should be January. And then for the next three years, they're going to be buying a minimum of 25 million metric tons per annum for the next three years.
