106.192 - 122.286 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are scrambling this Wednesday morning after Donald Trump's disastrous, I guess you want to call it a rally, at a small banquet hall in Pennsylvania last night where he said affordability is a hoax.

122.306 - 137.681 Ben Meiselas

There was a secret meeting that was held earlier this morning in Congress with the MAGA Republican senators and Congress members trying to come up with a health care plan that they've promised since Donald Trump's first term, but Yes, you guessed it.

137.761 - 157.981 Ben Meiselas

Republicans have left this morning saying there will be no concrete health plan for a vote by the Christmas time, but many expressed hope that it would emerge soon. I want to talk about what else is happening this morning. A reminder, make sure you're subscribed to the Midas Touch YouTube channel. We're on our way to 6 million subscribers.

Chapter 2: What happened at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania?

456.798 - 470.549 Ben Meiselas

And she says, look, at the end of the day, she's not running again for reelection. But she goes, look, we have to thank Donald Trump for his message of optimism. Yeah, it's a message of fraud here playing this clip.

0

470.929 - 497.273

Affordability is important and the president continues to stress that, not just with his message of optimism, but in the work that he is doing through the administration. So I feel very confident we're gonna see the president out and about. We are going to bring those prices down for our consumers. And again, we will see victory when it comes to the election cycles next year.

497.253 - 519.085 Ben Meiselas

And voters see right through this. CNN did a great analysis of the continuing shift of Latino voters away from Trump and MAGA and back to the Democratic Party. And just frankly, against these MAGA Republican candidates who were attacking them. who are rounding them up and putting them into concentration camps. It's not really a close thing.

0

519.105 - 539.308 Ben Meiselas

It's like Latinos are like, you said you would only go after the criminals and you said you supported us, but you're literally killing us. So we're not going to vote for the Republicans because the Republicans are killing us. And we saw in Miami, the Democrats won the mayor race there. Eileen Higgins, new mayor elected in Miami, the first time in 30 years,

Chapter 3: Why did the GOP meeting on healthcare fail?

539.288 - 559.659 Ben Meiselas

Democrats reclaim that mayor seat. And then I talked about a big victory in Georgia as well in a special election in House District 121. Take a look at how it's described here, this big shift from a massive shift of Latinos away from Trump. Play this clip. Locality by locality by locality.

559.939 - 578.653 Ben Meiselas

What you see is these huge shift is these heavily Hispanic neighborhoods of Miami against against the Republican nominee from the Donald Trump baseline. And so to me, this is an encapsulation of what we see. We saw it in Arizona's seventh congressional district. Right. That special election earlier this year. Again, a heavily Hispanic district.

0

578.673 - 595.216 Ben Meiselas

What we see is Democrats outperforming that 2024 baseline, which to me is so important because we see these national polls. How is this actually going to impact things? And what we see is exactly what we saw last night, the first Democratic mayor of the great city of Miami since the birdcage era.

0

595.236 - 605.97

Since the birdcage era. Put that in the headline. So you have now Miami is going to be run by a Democrat. How many Republicans run big cities in America anymore?

0

605.99 - 629.38 Ben Meiselas

Yeah, this, to me, is part of a longer, larger arc. And, you know, you just look at this. GOP mayors in the 50 largest cities. In 2017, it was about 14. Now, with Higgins coming in, it's seven. It's seven. Donald Trump has been absolute kryptonite to Republicans who want to run major cities in the United States. There are very few. They are an endangered, endangered species. That is fascinating.

629.4 - 649.422 Ben Meiselas

And I think Senator Bernie Sanders just says it perfectly as well this morning. And I think it's maybe this morning or last night he said this, where he goes, if this is an A++ economy, as Donald Trump is saying it, What happens if it's a B or a C? Because the American people are suffering. When people go out and do things, they know Trump's lying.

649.462 - 658.393 Ben Meiselas

When they see that their healthcare costs are rising three to four times higher, they know Trump's lying. Here, play this clip.

658.694 - 680.89

Well, Caitlyn, if this is an A++++ economy, God help us if we ever get to a B or a C. And he talks about he's lowering prices. Well, right now, all over this country, people are getting insurance notices that their premiums for the ACA are going to double, in some cases, triple or quadruple.

681.224 - 699.444

You know, Trump can lie all that he wants, but when people walk into a grocery store, they see the outrageous prices they're now paying, when housing costs all over this country are going up, when kids can't afford to go to college, when 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. No, we do have an affordability crisis.

Chapter 4: How is Trump reacting to the GOP's struggles?

757.887 - 777.064 Ben Meiselas

ready to thrive in your yard. All plants and trees are locally grown in the US and cared for by experts before they ship to you. I have to say, I am obsessed with the lemon tree I got from Fast Growing Trees from my front yard. Every time I walk up to my house, it smells like fresh citrus and the lemons are incredibly flavorful. I'm not exactly a master gardener, but even for me, it was simple.

0

777.404 - 787.442 Ben Meiselas

The tree arrived healthy, the instructions were clear, and it's thriving. I saved a fortune not hiring a landscaper, and I still get to enjoy this beautiful living addition to my home every single day.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Trump's attacks on Mexico?

812.476 - 833.96 Ben Meiselas

And with all of this happening, what are the main Trump priorities? Like what's he focused on? Like in addition to taking away things and inflicting pain on the American... Just in the past 48 hours, they rolled out two new ideas. Number one, Taurus... to the United States, basically regardless of where the tourists come from, they have to submit.

0

834.04 - 856.69 Ben Meiselas

This is an actual plan that the Trump regime wants to implement their social media history for the past five years have to be shared and analyzed like this. They don't do that in China. They don't do that in authoritarian regimes. If you want to travel to the U S this is the new Trump idea from a border patrol and ice, who's going to come in here and throw you in concentration camps.

0

856.771 - 876.201 Ben Meiselas

Like that's what they do here. Um, they're going to look through your social media to see if you said anything negative about Donald Trump or about the regime here. That's one of their ideas. Their other big idea that they keep on pushing is a pull up bars and gyms in airports. So people can work out while they're in the airport. Like,

876.468 - 892.975 Ben Meiselas

If doge were to ever actually be a real thing, this wouldn't, this be the type of thing that would be waste fraud and abuse. Like what you're doing a billion dollars of fricking pull up bars in airports. Like what are you talking about? Just bring the prices down. When you go into an airport, no one can afford the food in the airport.

892.955 - 913.666 Ben Meiselas

When you go to an airport, no one can afford the flights anymore in the airport. You're cramped. The experience is terrible. The flights are delayed. The flight, every aspect of it, people are underpaid. But go ahead. Talk to us about pull-up bars. Here, play this clip. I want to commend Secretary Duffy and Secretary Kennedy for this initiative.

914.007 - 916.951 Ben Meiselas

You think the goal here is not for people to get sweaty in airports.

916.991 - 925.803

Nobody wants to be sitting next to somebody smelling on an airplane. But... No sweating, Brian. But, you know, even micro workouts are valuable for humans. Mini gyms.

926.163 - 941.862 Ben Meiselas

We just want to put in simple equipment that everyone can use that can encourage people in airports to get a little bit of movement, five minutes of movement here and there, and to create an atmosphere that's really friendly toward people working out. And then Sean Duffy continues, it's really an issue of pull-up bars. Play this clip.
