What are the economic indicators pointing to a recession?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
You know, I look at this face right here of a real DEI hire. Didn't earn it. Pete Hegseth, so emblematic of this Trump regime, cacistocracy. So you wake up in 2025, March, with headlines like this from the Trump regime. Consumer expectations plunged to their lowest level in 12 years as recession signals blare from NBC News. The conference board's monthly index showed older consumers are especially worried about the fate of their finances. from the Wall Street Journal. Consumer confidence drops further. Key measure flags recession risks, as Heather Bushy says. Yikes. The president may get the economy he wants after all. Consumer confidence has plummeted, falling four months in a row. The six-month outlook hasn't been this bleak in over 12 years and is at a level that tends to indicate recession is coming. You broke it, Donald. You own it, Donald. Meanwhile, as Carl Quintanilla is posting from the Washington Post, long waits, waves of calls, web crashes, Social Security is breaking down.

How is Social Security being affected under Trump's regime?

Ben Meiselas 1:20
For all of these MAGA Republicans saying, oh, even though Elon Musk calls it a Ponzi scheme, and even though the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says that you're committing crime or fraud, if you whine about not getting your check, we're not going to close Social Security down. Well, you already are doing it. You've already closed down 47 Social Security Administration offices, making it very difficult for older people to access actual people and services that they need. And you're seeing here that it's already being crashed as you're destroying the call centers, the website, a flood of cuts led by Elon Musk. has sent the agency into chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge. The Social Security Administration website crashed four times in 10 days this month, blocking millions of retirees and disabled Americans from logging into their online accounts. This headline from the Wall Street Journal is not surprising, and perhaps two months late. Canadians are boycotting American vacations.

Why are Canadians boycotting American vacations?

Ben Meiselas 2:27
Infuriated by annexation talks, neighbors to the north are keeping their vacations local. Good. We stand in solidarity with the Canadians here at the Midas Touch Network against this Trump regime. We know why you're boycotting. We know it's not against the American people. It's against the regime. You got to do what you got to do. And we're here fighting the regime from within. And I can't wait for the day when we're able to celebrate without Donald Trump together again. But we appreciate the strength that you're showing in Canada and elsewhere throughout the world standing up to this despicable bully. I mean, look at this team of misfits. DEI didn't earn it. Trump regime people like Pete Hegsa. What the hell is even going on here? He goes, we destroyed strength.
Ben Meiselas 3:23
I mean, dude, let me play you the clip first and then I'll talk to you about it. Play it.
Pete Hegseth 3:28
President Trump said peace through strength will be brought back.
Ben Meiselas 3:33
All right. Y'all were doing war plans on text threads, on signal chats, while some of the people on those text threads were in Moscow, which means, and I spoke to Former Ambassador Susan Rice, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, go back and watch my video I posted yesterday in my exclusive with her. That means Russia has all of this stuff. You placed lives at risk, you fools, you morons, you. And here is Pete Hegseth saying again, oh, I'm not doing war plans. I know what I'm doing, everybody. I know what I'm doing, everybody. Play this clip.
Pete Hegseth 4:15
As I also stated yesterday, nobody's texting war plans. And that's all I have to say about that.
So those same troops that, those same troops that you are proud of, do you regret putting information like the ones you did in the signal chat that could endanger those same American service members?
Pete Hegseth 4:32
Nobody's texting war plans. I know exactly what I'm doing, exactly what we're directing. And I'm really proud of what we accomplished, a success. Yeah.
Ben Meiselas 4:41
My dad warned me about people like that at the bar. He said, Ben, just look away. Don't engage. Don't talk to those people like that. That's the defense secretary right now. There's something going on in this country right now, folks. There truly is a movement. As I said, a pro-democracy summer is coming. And I've been saying, I see the signs in all of these areas and red districts too.
