I'm saying, you can say that you're a hero.
“You're a hero, right? But you don't understand.”
Exactly, it's just a challenge. You're just a hero. You're just a hero. And if you work, you're a hero. - That's right? - Save. You're a hero. - You're just a hero. - Now you're a hero. You've already said that you're a hero, but that's not enough, and that's a lot of fun.

Donald Trump is panicking as his unlawful war against Toronto, spiraling out of control folks. We just learned from U.S. Central Command that they are aware of a loss of a U.S. K.C. 135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during operation epic fury. Rescue efforts are ongoing in the K.C. 135s. There are six crew, and as of this recording, those six crew are still missing.
There were two aircraft involved in this incident. The other aircraft was another K.C. 135, which was able to land safely. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq.
The second land did safely. According to U.S. Central Command, which, unfortunately,
does lie about a lot right now under the Trump regime. This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire. We will keep you posted there. At the same time, drone attacks from Iran have now struck a French base, a joint Peshmerga France base, and the Mach-Mor region in northern Iraq. This is according to a statement from the Erbil governor, based on what just took place. We have video of it as well of these Iranian drones hitting a French military base near Erbil airport
in Iraq. This injured six French soldiers. There are six American crew that are missing from the K.C. 135. Six French soldiers have been injured as this war is expanding. We are learning that one of the main beneficiaries of this is Vladimir Putin who is basically making hundreds and millions of dollars every day right now from selling oil. Should also be noted that the straight of her mose while closed by Iran remains open though to Iran and China.
Donald Trump is paticking according to multiple sources from NBC and elsewhere that the market is turning against him and that high gasoline prices pose a political danger to him. You think so, Donald Trump's posting, where is the federal reserve chairman Jerome to late Powell today? He should be dropping interest rates right now. Immediately, not wait for the next
“meeting Donald J. Trump. Well, inflation is surging so I think your ability to drop interest rates”
right now would probably be one of the most disastrous things. Everything this guy does is the most disastrous thing ever. And now you have Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. He's been giving interviews saying we need an international coalition to protect ships in the straight of her mose. America doesn't have the capabilities to do it alone. Well as we wrote on the Midas Touch Network, guess the America alone strategy isn't working out too well right now. Should also be noted
Donald Trump is panicking right now as Gulf states with all of this going on are having very serious discussions about engaging in new regional security arrangements, not with the United States, but with Iran as they do not believe that the U.S. is able to protect them anymore and that this U.S. Israeli war has brought instability to the region and that Donald Trump doesn't know what he's doing. Reuters reporting that. Yes, U.S. ignites this Iran war, but the Gulf Arab states pay
the price. We know they've been doing all of these quid pro quo deals with Donald Trump believing that they would get protection if they put money into this Trump company or that Trump company or Trump's ridiculous board of peace thing that he was doing. But actually Donald Trump has
Demonstrated that even with the most powerful military ever and unprepared ki...
like Donald Trump who went into this thing without congressional authorization does not know what
“he's doing and exposes the limits of U.S. security guarantees. I mean, we have a reshaping”
of a world order taking place right now. And Donald Trump still thinks that Vladimir Putin is his friend. He's meeting with U.S. Jacob and Dimitri of in Miami with his special on-boys Russia is out there supporting Iran against the United States as China's supporting Iran against the United States. Trump is praising Xi Jinping right now as Donald Trump's praising Pakistan, Pakistan saying they stand in solidarity with Iran. I mean, you have a statement from
Modi in India saying I've had a conversation with the Iranian president, Dr. Pasechian, to discuss the serious situation in the region, express deep concern over the escalation of tensions and the loss of civilian lives as well as damage to civilian infrastructure. The safety and security of Indian nationals, along with the need for unhindered transit of goods and energy,
“remain India's top priorities, reiterated India's commitment to peace and stability and urge”
for dialogue and diplomacy seems like India having a very sympathetic view actually towards Iran right there. You have the Iran Supreme National Security Council, Secretary Ali LaRajani saying Trump says he's looking for a speedy victory while starting the war is easy. It cannot be one with a few tweets. We will not relent making you sorry for this great calculation. Hashtag Trump must pay and the Iranians have launched the social media campaign against Donald Trump where they're
calling him like the Epstein leader or the Epstein president and they've been mocking him with these AI videos. Meanwhile, you have Caroline Levitt Donald Trump's chief propaganda saying that ABC story that Iran poses a threat to the United States is absolutely false. Caroline Levitt said this ABC story should be immediately retracted. It's unverified and she says to be clear,
there's been no such threat from Iran to our homeland ever. It never existed ever, she says.
Well, that's quite an admission because, uh, warrant you saying that that was one of the pretexts for the war right here. And just so you see what's going on in the region. We've been pointing out how ships in the straight of her mows have been blown up by the Iranians, how oil depots, whether it's Bahrain or UAE and Kuwait and Iraq have been targeted by the Iranians. Here's what's going on in Kuwait just so you can see right here as these kind of residential
areas where it's believed that there may be American military presence or just commercial centers are being targeted by Iran. Let's just watch this briefly. This, this is from a drone. It came in from across to see out there, just across to see is Iran. And look at all the debris you can see on the ground down here. This is all come out of this civilian apartment building. This is what government officials tell us, civilian apartment building, two civilians injured here been
taken away for treatment, multiple attacks on Kuwait last night, attacks on the air. Let's bring in Democratic Congress member Jimmy Gomez from California, Congressmen. These things that we're seeing, it's horrible to see, but these were all things that were very foreseeable. These were things that Trump was warned about by people like you and people in Congress and by his military leaders. He was warned about this from these Arab nations and now wants security guarantees from
Iran, not from the United States, Trump was warned by NATO. But Donald Trump, you know, just one night was like, you know what? Netanyahu's calling me up and saying, I guess he's going to attack
Iran first. So I guess I've got to do it as well. Let's do it. No one was prepared. Our state
department was unprepared. The Arab nations were unprepared. And this is the result. What do you
“make of it all Congressmen? I think it's a complete and total mess. Everything from his justification”
of why he launched this attack, why he launched this war has shifted. In the first 72 hours, it was regime change, supporting their protesters, going to knock out nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, even though his own intelligent shows that ballistic missiles weren't able to reach the United States until 2035. And that Iran was not actively pursuing nuclear weapons. Then he said it was about retribution. Then it said it was because they needed to retaliate
against Iran before they hit us, because Israel hit us, hit them first. All of it is just
out of control. And the reason why this is big deal, because if you don't have a clear mission, then what, how do you know that you're strategy and your tactics are going to achieve the
Goal that you set out?
could be able to rally them to support any conflict that might be necessary in the future that
“is more a defensive war. This is a war of choice. He's lied to the American people. There's no”
exit strategy, and then he's downplayed the risk. We knew from the very beginning that people could die or women in a university could die, but also hundreds more could be injured, a sustained brain injuries and have life-altering incidences where they ended up being crippled or ended up being damaged so that they couldn't live their lives normally in the future. So this is a complete and utter mess. You know, Congressman, we're used to seeing propaganda, you know, come out of
the White House, and there's varying degrees, you know, of it. But like what we're seeing now, this propaganda is also like so cartoonishly bad and evil at the same time that like the lies are so easily exposed. And I just feel like it just makes America internationally just looks so much
“weaker right now. Oh, absolutely. One of the things that is decant build a coalition of the”
willing when everybody thinks that you're lying about what you're trying to achieve and how you can actually get it done. You can't bullshit your way out of a war. It is something that occurs in real time and then the consequences of that war is something that everybody feels, everything from high gas prices that shutting down of a straight of her moves, the fact that they're using
ballistic missile interceptors to basically shoot down these missiles, then all of a sudden you don't
have those weapons for other areas of the globe. So you can't bullshit your way out of it. It actually is it's comical, but at the same time deadly, where loot, we've lost seven individuals currently, a hundred more than 150 have have injuries and and people just don't trust this administration to to follow through and that they're giving it to them straight, not only our allies, but also our adversaries. Right. And when you watch Donald Trump speech in Kentucky and he struggles
to put together sentences and he says we won the war and that there's no danger in the straight of her moves and that this is great. You know, look, that that's still made played a
30% of the population here and Donald Trump has Fox, which basically functions as a state regime
media here. Lots of other corporate networks have, you know, been kind of co-opted by Trump and Magga, but like internationally, this is playing not just bad, but like atrocious and everybody's looking at his speeches and his and just the way he's talking and the way exit talks. We're we're going to rain down terror and death and lethality and people are from whether it's the NATO, Asian nations, Arab nations, they're looking at this and saying this ain't it. What the hell,
this is this this stuff's demented. We've been used to it, we see it every day. Now in this international, they're like, this is demented stuff. Yeah, no, it's absolutely one of the things is that they ruin the credibility of the United States. Your allies start questioning your word, they actually question your motives, they question if you're doing it to protect them or to protect the pocketbooks of the Trump family. And it also put right puts into question, what happens
if something happens in their region in Asia, the Middle East and Europe is the United States going to step forward? Are you going to continue this kind of belligerent behavior that we've seen? Everything from talking about taking over Greenland to the stuff that's going on in the Caribbean
“and America, that's what people are concerned of. Yes, we have the largest military on the face of”
the planet, but how you use it matters and undermining people's trust and the word of the United States makes everybody worse off and it's going to be expensive not only in money but also in lives. And that brings us to domestic issues because if you and I were to do this interview before February 27th, America was already suffering. You're a Congress member from California Los Angeles area, but the entire country suffering, healthcare being ripped away, prices, surging, people
unable to find jobs, jobs, recession. I mean, there was a lot of things that were going on already. Now you add this and it is, there really is unprecedented. I know sometimes that word is thrown around, but like we are truly an unprecedented catastrophic economic times and unlike some past
Great recessions or depressions, this one was fully man-made, manufactured by...
and MAGA, gift wrapped with the middle finger to the American people. Absolutely, this president said
he was going to end all sworn wars. That he was going to put America first. That is going to reduce
the cost of living. That he was going to drain the swamp. He became the swamp. Republicans are the swamp in Washington DC backed up by billionaire backers and the establishment now and they basically said to the American people, we don't care how much we spend on the Middle East War and we don't
“care how much you have to pay for it. We're going to keep going because it's in their interests. It's”
in the Donald Trump interest to continue and that's what's insulting. It's not only the fact that they're spending so much money, but it's the fact that he can't paint on it and there's people
within the Republican base are saying, what happened? Well, it's no longer MAGA first. It's Trump
family first. It's the billionaires first. It's the status quo that gives him more and more power and more money. That's what's first, but not working class people in this country. Congressman, one of the things that you're also focused on on a bipartisan basis as well is the congressional dad's caucus, which I also just think is a very important initiative as well. What I try to talk about on the show is just doing our best to exhibit qualities of leadership
and focusing on things like family and everything like just being a good dad, which also means being a good mentor and setting the right example. And so much of what I see frankly from the Trump's and the headset to me is just anathema to just being a good person. Like the policies
“as we talked about catastrophic, but like let's be decent humans to future generations. And I think”
one of the initiatives that deserves more attention is the dad's caucus and the initiative because it's like let's be good father. So before we go talk to us about that. Yeah, the dad's caucus there's about 50 members now, we have everybody from Rimm and Gallego and Andy Kim to Brad Schneider and Stephen Horstford and myself and also Rashew to leave in the and Brittany Pearson. And what we're saying is that we can't just be against something. We have to be for something. We can do it both.
We're going to fight Trump every step of the way. We're going to call out his hypocrisy and his lies. But we're going to say, you know what, if we take power, this is what we're going to fight for. And one of the things we're fighting for is making life affordable, making sure that people can actually buy a home, raise a family, a four child care. And then if their parents a suffer from old age or from a stroke or something that they can actually afford to take care of them.
“Because that's what we're dealing with. American people don't want to see billions of dollars”
spent on foreign wars and supporting other governments. What they want to see is to really fight for the American people and restore confidence that the the government can actually work for them. And that's why we're on the 17th of March. We're hosting the first ever national summit on the caregiving crisis. Because we want to say this is what we're going to fight for caregiving, paid family affordable housing, housing that's affordable all of it. Because we need to do something
that just not what we're against, but what we're for. Congressman appreciate you so much for joining us.
