Why is Trump silent after his State of the Union speech?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump has gone completely silent after that disastrous State of the Union he gave last night. Low energy, low ratings. Most people were watching the People's State of the Union by the Midas Touch Network. Over 2 million views the Midas Touch Network received for the People's State of the Union. Towards the end of Donald Trump's State of the Union speech, he looked lethargic, tired, unwell. He was clinging on to that podium for dear life, it looked like. His hand was discolored. He was physically and mentally rotting before our eyes. It was incoherent. He couldn't string together sentences.

What were the reactions to Trump's performance during the SOTU?

Ben Meiselas 0:38
So no statements from Donald Trump since the State of the Union. The one thing he posted before the State of the Union, because he takes zero accountability for anything, was, The Democrat shutdown is killing the blue states. That was his message heading into the State of the Union. No social media posts since then. Now, he did send his cabinet sycophants to make their rounds on state regime media and to go on other corporate news. So, for example, you had Pam Bondi, his attorney general, once again bragging about the Dow. She's doubling down on that. And she goes, the economy is booming because of Donald Trump. Now, this morning, we also learned that on January 4th of this past year, Todd Blanch, Donald Trump's deputy attorney general, sent a memo to FBI agents telling them to

How did the Midas Touch Network's coverage compare to Trump's SOTU?

flag and not produce those FBI 302 reports, the interviews with Epstein victims and survivors. And we know that there are some interviews with survivors who have made accusations that Donald Trump sexually assaulted them when they were minors. And those documents are being, those accusations, those 302s are being withheld. And now we know that there was a memo sent specifically to withhold 302s. So Pam Bondi, she goes on State Regime Media and she's like, this was a great State of the Union. Everything is amazing. And she said, that's why the economy is just crushing it right now. Everybody's thriving, she says. Here, play this clip.

Oh, yeah. These are the kinds of things they want to say he's racist. He really just loves Americans and is trying to protect families.
Ainsley Earhardt 2:24
Ainsley, as you know, he loves America. President Trump has made America safe again, and that's what he's doing. And in turn, that makes Americans feel safe to go to work, to have jobs, to be able to go to church, to be able to function in our country and be safe. And that's what's driving our economy. Donald Trump making America safe. And that's why our economy is at a record high. We all know that.

What accusations are being made against Trump post-SOTU?

Ainsley Earhardt 2:54
And it's safe. And, you know, we also had last night there Andy Wolf. And I've gotten to be very close with his mom, Melody. And you know something else, Ainsley, you'll appreciate this, what President Trump said, what's very different. We are a praying administration. I love that. We all are. Our cabinet prayed before we went out there last night. We prayed for the president. We prayed for Congress. We prayed for the country. And that's because of Donald Trump. And that's what's making America safe.

But here is what Lisa Rubin, who's an attorney, here's what she just told MSNOW about that January 4th memo that I just referenced. Here, play this clip.
Ainsley Earhardt 3:33
Berger, Lisa, you are all over this.

What role do Trump's cabinet members play in his absence?

Ainsley Earhardt 3:36
What are you learning now?
Unknown 3:37
Well, Ana, this morning I was looking to see whether the Department of Justice posted any new documents this morning regarding the alleged victim that we reported on yesterday. We thought maybe our reporting and that of NPR and an independent journalist named Roger Sullenberger might have changed what they were willing to post. I didn't find any new documents about the woman who accused both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 or 14 years old back in the 1980s. But what I did find absolutely stunned me. And that's a January 4th, 2026 memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch. I just want to situate the date for you and our viewers. December 19th was the congressionally mandated date for compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
