Trump Gets His Karma

Let's take a look at these numbers.

Look at these devastating polls from him. This by Fox state regime media's poll in a generic ballot Democrats lead Republicans 54% to 43% among independence, Democrats lead 53% to 31% in terms of the GOP. And now, trust on issues, cost of living, Democrats plus 15.

Large AI data center regulation, Democrats plus 14. On the issue of fighting corruption, Democrats plus 11. On foreign policy, Democrats plus 10.

Only on the issue of immigration Republicans still only plus one.

“What about this question in the state regime media poll?”

Is the Trump regime more or less as corrupt as previous administrations? Overall, 53% of voters say more corrupt. Only 26% of voters say less corrupt, 19% say about the same. When you look at independence, 57% say more corrupt, 12% say less corrupt, and 28% say about the same.

And about certain states like Ohio, what's the latest polling show there? The Democratic candidate for governor Amy Acton taking a pretty significant lead based on prior polling over mega Republican extremist Vivek Rameswami. Amy Acton 48% Rameswami 45% What about in that Senate race right there? Same thing right now.

The mega Republican extremist incumbent, though he tries to act moderate, but he isn't. John Eustid 45% Democratic former senator, Sherrod Brown, at 48% a 3. lead over there. When are we zoom in on Texas? Some of the latest polling out of Texas, the Mason Dixon telemundo poll over there has James

“Toloreco at 46% can taxed in at 43% how about in South Dakota?”

Don't sleep on South Dakota. The Democratic candidate dropped out in that race and independent Brian Bengs, a navy veteran and retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel can make this a real race now when it's a one on one race Mike Brown's a mega Republican extremist in South Dakota is 10 points underwater and 32% of Trump voters rate him unfavorably as well.

He's detested by Democrats despised by independence and abhorred by Trump voters. Very notable. And he's someone who said, well, like when Donald Trump is nasty with Canada, don't be too nasty but be nasty with him, really weird stuff that he would say and the people of South Dakota are absolutely suffering as a result of Donald Trump's reckless trade wars against the

world in Canada and Donald Trump's catastrophic war and around look at the latest polling there. Brian Bengs 44% Mike Brown's 44% right there, I mean, that race is very, very close. Side race right there and I'm going to keep on zooming in on that race, other races show other poll show bangs ahead right there folks and we're seeing some interesting

things happen.

“You don't get much more mega extremist propaganda than Tommy Larrin right?”

Here's what Tommy Larrin just said, everything that is going to shit is going to shit,

due to the Iran conflict, I think most of us are looking back and wondering if Iran was really on the brink of a nuclear weapon or if it was perhaps overstated, you think Tommy, if they were President Trump a no choice to act, but if the neocons pushed him into it, oof, what a betrayal of him and all of his non neocon voters, what a betrayal. You just realizing that now Tommy Larrin, why don't you look at Donald Trump's statements

from last year when he said, I totally obliterated Iran's nuclear program obliteration. Nope, it was Donald Trump and Netanyahu to cover up the child sex trafficking ring that is the Epstein files engage in this catastrophic and heinous war in Iran and now we have interest rate hikes, we have mass slaughter of innocent people abroad, we have our own service members being killed, we have our economy, absolutely in shambles, we are running

out of diesel, yeah, there are places in Texas and California that are out of diesel, the price of diesel in San Diego is like 999, I mean, absolutely horrific and the American

tortured by this regime, that's what we're seeing reflected in the data when we see consumer

“confidence at historic lows, that's not just some hypothetical thing, people are suffering”

while Donald Trump's like, this is the golden age, we did the golden age, everybody absolutely

heinous, even Carl Rove is saying, I'm a voting Democrat for the first time, GOP has

increased the number of its biggest Carl Rove, you're just learning that you may have had a little bit something to do with that Carl Rove and he's pointing to both French, the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner over there in Texas who posted racist image of Indian students who went to university of Texas and both French made heinous comments about them attending the school and then lots of other mega people supported

those comments and so now Carl Rove was like, I'm beginning to think to a Republican party under Donald Trump may have become a little bit racist, we may have meanwhile on state regime media, not all near they putting out polling data like that, even the host on state regime media are mocking Donald Trump's fraudulent scheme of giving $5,000 out if you vote Republican, they're mocking him on state regime media that Donald Trump is a liar here

play this clip. Okay.

We mentioned this earlier, Treasury Secretary Basin says, "Yeah, there is a way to deliver

Trump's $5,000 dividend checks to all adult Americans without going into the deficit." He didn't explain how we do that, can you give $5,000 to every adult or not raise the deficit? There's no way in the world that you can give $5,000 to each family in the United States. That's about $1.2 trillion of additional spending and not go ahead and increase the budget

deficit.

“Well, maybe you have to increase taxes, but you have to put in a wealth tax into effect,”

are you going to have a value added to tax? No, it's just nonsense, it's not going to happen. All the while Donald Trump was in where North Carolina is like, "Where in the golden age,

the Democrats prevented you from being in the golden age."

But this is it. This is the golden age. People like now, this ain't the golden age. What are you talking about? Listen, do what he had to say, play this clip.

I'm going to win, Michael. So the Democrats gave us the dark age of America and we turned it into the golden age, but right now the golden age of America and that war, that war's going to be very soon. Watch, you just watch. All right, I want to bring in now, got a special guest for you.

This is the Midas Touch Network after all. Let me bring in Brian Banks, the Independent Candidate, who's now neck and neck in this poll with the mega Republican from South Dakota, Mike Browns. As I said earlier, there is no Democratic candidate in this race. The Democratic candidate dropped out leaving Brian Banks, this Navy veteran, retired Air Force

Lieutenant Colonel, to go head to head against a despised lunatic named Mike Browns, who's hated by the people of the state because he's hurt the people in South Dakota. And he hates the people of Paris, then such damage to the people in South Dakota. So let me bring on Independent Candidate, Brian Banks. Here's the interview I just did with him.

Now I want to bring in Brian Banks, the Independent Candidate running in that Senate race in South Dakota against the mega Republican Mike Browns, who occasionally says he's mega occasionally, that depends what day it is and what his message is to the people. South Dakota is in play and you are in some of the polls ahead and some of the polls that's close.

“I think objectively it's fair to say, this is a neck and neck race right now.”

And I think as people are saying, you know what, Washington has failed us. You take a look at South Dakota and you go, yeah, they failed us big time. And people like Mike Browns, you have the opportunity to prove yourself. You and the establishment could have showed you, you did it, but they didn't. Like we have the receipts.

The receipts are in. It's been an utter failure and they are now going around, Brian saying, this wasn't a failure. This is the golden age. Aren't you happy and people like now? So that's where you come in right here because you're saying, what are you talking about?

There's a better way, talk to us about South Dakota right now and what we're seeing.

I am on the initial ballot.

“I'm either tied or down three on the most current one and post BIOS.”

I'm up ahead for several polls right now. But South Dakota is in play because people, it's not necessarily that they love Republicans. It's that they just despise Democrats. So when you're running as an independent and you're saying the message that appeals

to people, I've called myself a Teddy Roosevelt Republican because I'm a proponent of getting money out of politics absolutely be single biggest sin that this country has is too much money in politics. I'm a proponent of having billionaires pay a higher tax rate than people who work for living than their secretaries and I'm a proponent of busting up corporate monopolies and

South Dakota is really suffering from this meat pack or monopoly that the Department of Justice does not care about. So when you talk about those things with people, they say, yeah, sign me up. Sign me up. Let's do this.

And the microns attack ads on me are, you know, he's a Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. So when the attack ads are not issue based, but rather he's just on the other team, then you know you're doing something right.

“And I think that's the boom, that's the issue is politics has become gamified.”

And it's, are you a Metz fan or are you a Yankees fan, are you a Lakers fan or are you a Celtic fan? And we've been taught, we don't like the Celtics.

So we'll always like the Lakers no matter what their vice versa or whatever.

And it's like stop and you see as we're approaching this election, they go right back in the political Pundent class comes in and they say, you got to look like this and you got to say this and you got to say this and you got to say this and I'm like, hello, listen to what the people are saying right now because the people are telling you, here's what we like, here's what we don't, we don't like them ripping away our health care.

We don't like young building data centers in our backyard. We don't like them telling us, you just have nothing to worry about with AI, don't regulate them sad. Just let them run crazy with it. They don't like Trump talking about golden ball rooms while they're paying record

amounts for diesel. So it's like, okay, what we can go back this team, that team up down whatever. It's just like, hey people, we're America, we're team America and to me someone like

a mic rounds, his policies have hurt America, they've hurt South Dakota, that's it.

That's it, that's it. That's the pitch. It seems like that's the pitch. Talk to talk to us about that because I'm sure you're here in this and South Dakota from people who say, yeah, I'm a Republican, but I don't like this shit.

So, absolutely, I'm running in many ways against the establishment, the dysfunctional broken gridlock of the two-party system that they just look to stab each other. And mic rounds is the gatekeeper of the money that paid a play and he's raised the vast majority. Over 90% of his fundraising has come from corporate and special interest packs and big money

donors. The vast majority of mine has come from small dollar donors. So that is what people want, they want money out of politics, they want this legalized corruption gone and the system to just work and address issues of like, hey, diesel super expensive.

That's going to impact farmers. Hey, gas is super expensive. I can't afford my groceries. They just want these practical solutions that the system isn't delivering and mic rounds is standing guard for the money that stands in the way of delivering anything for the people.

Talk to me about the issues in South Dakota right now. So people know because, you know, obviously when we talk about the price of diesel surging when we talk about this, they call the big, beautiful bill and they try to act like this thing was great when it really hurt people.

“I think it hurt lots of people in South Dakota.”

I think it removed a lot of access to health care as well. Talk to us when you're traveling, I mean, what are the issues? I mean, I know my grounds probably wants to talk about bathrooms or I don't know what he wants to talk about. He wants to talk.

He loves bathrooms. He wants to inspect your underwear and whatever, like, okay, my grounds got it. Understand your 2024 playbook, but I kind of think that when people in South Dakota wake up, they're thinking, how am I going to make it through the day, not whether mic rounds wants to take, you know, magnifying glass, to inspect somebody's underwear to check if theirs, this

or that part or what happens, that's my hunch about South Dakota. Yeah, well, it is obviously the consequences that are intruding into people's lives. It's the same across the country with the affordability crisis. They can't afford to fill up your car's gas tank and buy all the groceries you need the same time now because both are significantly more expensive.

And agriculture is a big industry in South Dakota, of course. So what we've gotten now with the price of diesel literally at a record high, it is harvest season. So the tractors and everything that go out to pull in the crops, they're paying extra. And the tariffs have already hit the profitability of those crops because the reciprocal

pair tariffs from China have cut down on the markets for the farmers to sell the beans

So the profit margin is taking a big dive.

“And then you've got the cattle industry in South Dakota where you've got these hundreds”

of thousands of tons of mystery meat coming in, under further undercutting, already a tough cattle production market and they're unhappy about that. So it is a universal problem for the egg industry, farmers don't want a government bailout. They want to farm for a market, not for a check to say, hey, sorry about that. We destroyed your business.

Here's some socialism for you. They don't want that. And then the data centers, that's become an issue, nationally, it's issue here as well. The senior lobby or not senior, the senior advisor for the Micrones campaign is also well on a Senate payroll is a paid lobbyist for meta in this state to advance the AI data center

industry in this state. So Micrones takes a huge amount of money for AI, it is a big raw raw cheerleader for data centers in South Dakota. When the people themselves don't get to have a voice and they can't say no because the amount of money behind it is crazy.

So that is a huge one. I've taken the stand against new data center construction whatsoever until we get some federal guardrails, a built-in place around this entire AI industry to prevent sounds like it's overblown, but the extinction of the human race to try to minimize that possibility that we now have to talk about in addition to the other environmental and the community-based

problems that data centers cause. So all these issues are kind of veiled up together and as you point out, Micrones is very concerned about boys and girls' sports as the big deciding issue. So when we talk about things, we talk about things that actually have consequences to people's lives and he doesn't want to talk about those things.

He is dodged the debates, he's declined both because he does not want to talk.

“That's why I mean, and then you'll have Trump come in and he'll say, "The farmers, I love”

you. You love me, I love you, and by the way, I mean the power of the presidency, regardless of who's there, is something that was built over generations, the post-World War II architecture,

that I believe people like Micrones and Trump are destroying, is a very powerful tool though,

it's very powerful, it's potent. So to hear some, I love you, I love you, I understand why, to certain groups that has, you know, in general across the country, like, that has, oh, really pretty loves me, you know, and it's like, okay, well, here we are, mid to late September, 2026, and you say these things, but what it actually turns out is you're just a sociopath, because if this is your love,

I would hate to know what your aid is, because this has been awful. This has been absolutely stopped telling me that tariffs have been great for South Dakota. They haven't, and everybody warned you, quit telling me you're going to make a deal, or we, I'm speaking to the Houthis, I'm speaking to Iran, I'm about to do a deal tomorrow. It's like, you know, don't, don't treat us like we're stupid.

Like, why are you behaving this way? It's gross. It's like, loser behavior, you're not doing deals, stop saying you're doing deals with people you're not just enough, I just think that, enough, enough. And I think that's the experience.

It's just, people in South Dakota see this, right? And they're like, this is loser behavior. And you tell me, Mike Browns is too afraid to debate you that don't be a politics. So do something. It's okay.

Do another job, like the job is like debate, go in debate. You don't want to do it because you're scared. Okay, look, it's scary. I get it.

“You have to go in front of cameras, there's people, you have to answer questions, okay?”

Not everybody's cut out for that line of work, not everybody's cut out for this, don't do this line of work. If you don't want to do it, it's crazy to me, that's not a political position. Why I'm interested in your campaign is that's how you've approached it. You're like, I'm not a political guy, I'm a Navy vet, I'm running with common sense.

That's what to me, your campaign's about more than anything. Yeah, that's it, I'm particularly running as an independent. I'm not going to be a loyal foot soldier for either team, writer, team, blue.

I'm running with an open mind of like, here's what I want to do.

I want to help regular people. I want you to be able to afford your groceries and your health care. And I want you to have the American dream and I want you to have confidence that your children will have a better life than you if they work hard and they do what we're all conditioned.

Went to school, got a good job, got married, had kids, so this traditional path to what we can share a good life as an American. It has been put in jeopardy by the stupidity of people like Mike Browns, voting for policies that don't produce it and actually are contrary to that. The cuts to the big, to Medicaid and the big beautiful bill, they've created health care

For example, in winter, South Dakota, it's a relatively poor area near tribal reservation.

And the hospital down there, the rural health care hospital down there, had to cut and just stop. It does not have a labor and delivery unit anymore because it cannot afford to operate it. It just can.

So women in that area that need to give birth are looking for a long car ride to the next nearest medical facility that they can do that if they make it there in time. It's problems like that that need a practical solution as opposed to just a party line where cutting everything, it'll all be fine.

“And here's the thing, you're happy to debate it, right?”

I mean, we could do this interview for a half out. You and I can go back and forth and I'm sure what will determine is that there's a lot more in common than there's a lot more different and we would find solutions and we would go, I like this. I don't like that.

I disagree. But we'd speak like adults. We wouldn't be like, "Terms are the greatest thing and on the greatest than I'd be." We'd be like, "No, okay, like, let's be smart." Okay, well, let's make a solution.

Let's do this. I think you're pushing too far. Let's roll up our sleeves and get the job done for national interest for America. Let's stop talking about golden ball rooms and hiding in catering containers with Natalie Harps.

Stop making this a reality show. Let's talk about it. Let's solve it. It's okay to disagree, but let's be grown-ups, adults.

“That's what I think is most important, I think, for us to get out of this hell, generally,”

that we're in. Let's be grown-ups, stop with this game-ified crap. All right, before we go, where can people learn more about your campaign brine?

We've got about 7 million subscribers here at this channel.

What's your kind of closing message if you will to the 7 million subscribers here on this channel? The closing message is that our government is corrupted by money. When I go up and I talk to people in South Dakota, the single biggest issue that I talk to them about is that I ask them whether they think that our politicians are representing

them or are they representing the individuals the right large campaign checks, and basically two a person of the thousands of people that I've talked to across this state, they say, "Well, no, they're representing money." That's a fight that we need to have. This legalized corruption of money in politics.

It is not going to be an easy fight, but it is a fight we need to have, and we've had it before. Last century, Teddy Roosevelt led the charge on the same thing, and I am part of a movement here out in the independent frontier where there's multiple folks like that that want to have this fight for the very reason that Teddy Roosevelt wanted to have it back in the

day. And I invite everybody to come check out my website is bengsforselfthecoder.com, and that is spelled with my last name, BENGSforselfthecoder.com, and you can find more than you ever wanted to know about my background and my policy positions. And if you have a question about any of that, there's an email address you can ask me,

I'd live for questions and discussion of these issues. So reach out and let's talk. Beaks softly and carry a big stick. You will go far, Teddy Roosevelt, big stick pile. There was once upon a time where whether you agreed or disagreed with the presidency, he

would speak softly and carry a big stick. People knew how powerful we were, in the United States, to him.

We never had to be this way of what we're seeing right now.

Like, that's just not, you know, what we should be. I think no matter what, we can all agree on some basic core values and principles.

“That's what we've got to return to Brian.”

We're going to keep following your campaign. We're seeing your poll in ahead of this Trump bootleg and guy. And so that's something that we are, we need to, I think, get rid of this spell of whatever the hell, this moment is because it's hurting people and however we get there, we got to do it, Brian.

I appreciate you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me. Appreciate it. Brian Bengs, Independent Candidate, and South Dakota. Appreciate you all.
