What are the main red flags in Trump’s cabinet appointments?
So here's the key metric for how you now have to evaluate Donald Trump's cabinet. The question is this: Would you let your children or grandchildren be alone in a room with them? I think the answer is no, no, no, no, no, as you go through that entire cabinet. Beyond creepy, I mean, we're dealing with serious allegations of sexual assault as well as. Child sex trafficking and those child sex trafficking allegations, as they relate to Matt Gates, resulted in him withdrawing his name from the Attorney General nomination given to him by Donald Trump. And now we got a deal with Secretary of Defense Peter Heggsith, where the Monterey police released very credible police reports from AV. Victim who described herself as unconscious during an alleged rape by Hegsith.
We've got a deal with RFK Jr., whose 23-year-old nanny at the time is accusing him of sexually assaulting her and others who are forming not just this despicable cabinet, but just also highly unqualified as well for those who are watching. You see, There, the photo of Linda McMahon, one of the WWE co-founders who Donald Trump appointed as the Secretary of Education, despite having no background and lying about having a bachelor's degree in education. So, folks, this is the time we roll up our sleeves because we saw with respect to Matt Gates, there is still a place and Space where our voices matter. Trump and MAGA is relying on us to be silent, to be so despondent and feel so much despair that we tap out while they try to impose this cacistocracy, this completely deranged group of individuals hellbent on destroying our democracy.
We will not let that happen here at the Midas Touch Network. This is the Midas Touch podcast. I'm Ben Myselis, joined by Brett and Jordy. Boom. See you later, Matt Gates.
Bye bye, Matt Gates. You know, in in times like this I think we need to uh you know take stock of all the wins, no matter how big or how small. And I think The entire situation with Matt Gates and all of this cabinet chaos, which was to be expected in this new Trump administration for anybody who was not sleeping during the four years of the previous Trump administration. But I think this saga with Matt Gates shows that our voices still have power even in this new Trump administration. There was a lot of kind of questions. Does it even mean anything anymore if we get loud? Loud, if we make noise, if we say this is not okay, if we call out injustice here, if we call out corruption there. But I think what this shows is yes, it still very much matters.
Our voices matter. And I want to be clear. We're not going to win all the battles that are in front of us. We probably won't even win most of the battles that are in front of us, but that does not mean that we do not make noise. We must make noise. We must rally. We must be loud. Because, especially in moments like this, at the beginning of something like this, it's when our voices are the most powerful. And it's clear that we all made a difference here. And there's a lot much more. More noise we need to be making, but I'm very proud of this community for speaking out. And we need to we need to celebrate these these small wins. I heard Robert Reich speaking the other day. He was on the Politics Girl podcast on the Mindest Touch Network, actually, which was a great episode.
You should check it out. And he was speaking about the importance in times like this to reflect on the small wins and to uh take pride in these small wins that we receive along the way and to Today was certainly that. And I think it also has further ramifications as well with Donald Trump's entire presidency and with his whole transition process. Um, but this is a a a a great win for the pro democracy community today. Jordy, what's new?
Excellent, excellent points there, Brett. Just want to echo that same sentiment. Your voice matters. The the this this proves it. This you know, we're not corporate media here, right? We don't go tomorrow-logo and bend the knee, Joe Amica. We're not gonna do that and roll over and just let these things happen.
