Donald Trump is suffering this morning, and that suffering will continue to g...

You miliation, as magra Republican Congress members are now cutting ads before the midterms.

Attacking Donald Trump realizing they may lose their seats in plus 15 plus 20 Trump

districts from 2024 based on how deeply unpopular Donald Trump is, and as the maga movement is essentially dead, we'll talk more about that. Also we're learning about how magma johnson held a meeting before recessing congress yet again, he shut down the house of representatives, and in this meeting with top maga Republican congress members in leadership, they were all at each other's throats, they were saying

you're an effing trader, you're an effing trader, there is a complete collapse right now among the maga republicans in congress, let me show you what's going on though right now as

well you had Harry and Den on CNN saying congrats Donald Trump, you always wanted to break

records, guess what, you broke another record this morning, here play this clip, fun. I can graduate Donald Trump, the president of the United States because he is breaking records. He is literally breaking records, yesterday the market university law school Paul came out, and take a look here, Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation minus 61.61 points underwater, that is the worst that Donald Trump has ever pulled on inflation, and not only

is it the worst that Donald Trump has ever pulled on inflation, it is the worst that any president ever has pulled on inflation, this is literally the worst net approval rating on inflation for any president, it is truly record breaking, congratulations president Trump, you're breaking records, but perhaps not in the way that you wish to worse than Carter, worse than Jimmy Carr, worse than Reagan, worse than Reagan, worse than Biden, worse than Biden,

he is worse than all three of those, and he is worse than any Paul he has ever had himself with this minus 61 points, literally the worst of all. And then Harry Enten says one of the other reasons why these maga republicans wanted to shut down Congress is that there was a huge movement, even within Congress, to impeach Pete Heggsiff, the American people want Pete Heggsiff that vial war criminal, Americans want that

sicko gun, that we want to try that to haig, actually because what a sick vial human being

that is, here's what Harry Enten has to say about how Americans view Heggsiff, let's

play this clip.

Where is his, where is Heggsiff's popularity right now?

You know, we start off the title slide asking, who hates Heggsiff and basically everyone if you're the American public, no wonder, no wonder the speaker sent everybody home because just take a look here, okay, Heggsiff's net approval, you know, back before the Iran war started back in January of 2026, right, it was minus nine points, you think that's though, look at this, he's more than twice as unpopular nearly three times as unpopular

now and his net approval rating, minus 25 points, have it among independence, you think that minus nine, so about minus 20, but for the war started, you think that minus 20, so about minus 43 points among independence now, no wonder, no wonder, no wonder speaker Johnson did not want his republicans representatives to actually have to vote on this because if they voted with the president, they'd be voting against the American public because

the bottom line is Pete Heggsiff is hated by basically now what about Benny Johnson, ultra

mega propagandists, when you lose Benny Johnson Donald, look at what happened this morning with Benny Johnson play this clip, everybody, you just can't, I mean, it's just the biggest political swing in miss in my lifetime has been not keeping the two dollar gas that we had in December, and January, and that's exactly where we, that's where we were, that's where the market, where the market was headed was to most people paying

less than two dollars a gallon for gas, it was the nationwide average was two dollars exactly, I just checked it this morning on December 31st, 2025, that was the nationwide average for a gallon of gasoline, more from Benny Johnson right here says, you know, gas prices are so bad, he says that he thinks that AOC is going to be the next president, this is Benny Johnson, mega propagandist through and through, here's what he had to say this

morning play this clip, I think they are, I mean, I think they are, I think it's built

different, I think they're going to run AOC, and I think that's where I think it's going to be the battle, it's going to be AOC versus Vance, and AOC will be president, if we can't get prices under control, I start delivering wins domestically for people, I think what, what a, what a crazy timeline, yeah, I mean, what about state regime media, box this morning, how do voters rank the economy right now, here play this clip, and the rate

high comes as new Fox polls show warning signs for Republicans with 77% of registered voters

Ranking the economy negatively and saying Democrats would better, better hand...

and higher prices by a 15 point margin, I was in meanwhile, of course, you saw what Donald Trump was saying last night at that deranged speech in North Carolina, he said, everything is great, I've kept all of my promises here play this clip, and I've delivered on every single promise I made, and far more than the promise, I made promise, and then Donald Trump said that he thought that gas prices were actually inexpensive, he said they should

be more expensive, let's play this clip, I have to say you have a little higher, you

have a higher, it's a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done, remember that

it's a little more, it's even if it was, frankly, even if it was a lot more, but that's going to come tumbling down, that's going to be like a rocket ship in reverse. Now, as Donald Trump's approval crashes as the mega movement is done, of course, the grifter going to grift Donald Trump running ads, running ads about what interesting that you might ask that beyond parody newsmax running ads on behalf of Donald Trump for the Trump $1

You also have Donald Trump's top advisors freaking out in front of the White House today, you had Trump's top economic advisor, one of them, Peter Navarro, trashing the chair of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Worsh, as you know, the Federal Reserve Board on a 12-to-nothing vote, "Hight interest rates" by 25 basis points to the range of 3.75 to 4% interesting,

right? Because Donald Trump was threatening to criminally prosecute Jerome Powell, who by the way, Trump appointed during his first term, Biden re-appointed Jerome Powell, because Powell would not lower interest rates, he kept him steady, Donald Trump says, "He's too late Powell, he needs to be criminally prosecuted." Okay, so Donald Trump then picked an interest

rate, "Hawk" in Kevin Worsh, "Hawk" meaning "worsh believes in kind of stricter tighter controls when it comes to raising interest rates." So "Hawk" is an interest rate, "Hawk" and "What Worsh do?" Well, the board unanimously raised the interest rate, not even

lower him, raise them, right? So here's what Peter Navarro had to say, and he was on the

Steve Batoncho Trashing Trump's Federal Reserve Chair pick, here play this clip. Why do you think I'm surprised? I was not a Worsh guy, I'm not a Worsh guy. I see him not as mad guy. I see him. Let's call him Morrow or Masa. I make recessions great again. It's like, or makes the explanation great again. I just, look, he's told himself, and

now he's telling us out. I think it's pretty much as simple as that, and I don't know,

here's what I don't know. I don't know whether it's a gap in his training or whether he's

Just one of them, and this is political.

this issue, he would have gone against the grain of what is a very politicized anti-Trump

Fed, and tried to lead on the issue, and maybe lose, but at least tried to lead. He did not

do that. What was it? So why did he go away? Joe Rogan's like, yeah, you know, these people

who are still Magar like sickos. Here's what he has to say, play this clip.

You know, Trump supporters are fucking nuts, man. They're rabid. He represents something other than just a person to them. Oh, it's Christ. Yeah. Well, he represents something a leader that they wish they had, you know, which is a real problem, our society in general with leaders. We look to them as if there's something different than every other person that's ever been a leader before. This is the one. This is the one that's going to save

us. No, you even had a weird appearance from Alex Carp, the CEO of Palantir this morning, and he was trying to justify why he and Donald Trump think that there should be no regulations when it comes to AI. And he's like, what? What? It's like, you're going to try to tell me that I need to tell me not to wear a condom or something. I don't even know what he's talking about. We did a little listen to what he's saying. How can they tell me not to wear

a condom? I did this. Do you know, just, okay, here. This is what this is what they're saying. Got it here play. I can't repeat what the customers are saying, but they're basically like one to give you the one that was the least vulgar. It's like, but how can they tell me not to wear a condom? Like, this is, and that's at least vulgar person that we do with. They're like, live it. And so they're living. So that's, see, can you just like translate

what you're talking about? Right. Now you have Maori public and congresswoman Maria Salazar from Florida, South Florida. Her district is 75% Hispanic. It was a district that Trump carried by plus 15 in the 2024 election. She's now cutting ads looking straight at the camera and saying Donald Trump, your immigration policies have been horrible. They've been bad. Okay, really Congresswoman Salazar, you ate it and embedded this. You told your

community, I remember watching it. You told your community that Trump supports your dignity act. You said the dignity act and that Trump said he promised you this is what you

assured your constituents that Trump would never go after immigrants who were not criminals,

who were not violent criminals. In fact, what you promised, Trump supported a pathway to

citizenship. That was part of your dignity act. That's what you told your constituents. What

you have a heavily Cuban Venezuelan constituent base and also people from other countries in South America, Central America. But this is in Caribbean. Here's the ad that she just released play this clip. It's a president. Some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far. In July, 50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record. Be careful what your advisors are telling you about immigration policy. The same Hispanics

who help you get to the White House in 2024 feel be treated today. You can be for immigration with Lincoln was for slavery and Reagan was for communism. I'm not talking about giving them an amnest. I'm talking about giving them a dignified light in this promise land. I am Marie Isle virus Salazar and I approve this message. But of course, that the mightest touch and

network we have receipts from November 2024. This was Congresswoman Salazar. Here's what

she said before the Trump regime was officially inaugurated. Here is her promise. You can all hear it for yourself. Let's play it. Or someone if I may. I know our time here is limited. I'm asking about the potential deportation of hundreds of thousands of people in the community. The deportation is going to be among those criminals who are the gang members, the gut ways, the trend of the Ottawa. I am sure. I am sure that I'm sure that we're not that the

Trump administration is not going to be targeting those people who have been here for more than five years that have American kids that don't have criminal records that have been working in the economy and paying taxes. I am sure that they're going to hone in on the criminals who are arrived less than four years ago. Because I wrote the dignity act and I am the first

one who understands that you have to give some type of dignity to those who have been here

for more than five years. People who have roots in the country, not people who are coming. Okay. We're seeing lots of videos like this. Three time Trump voters are posting videos while they're filling up their vehicles with either gas or diesel that they can't afford. Play this clip right here. I've voted for you three times. Trump voted for you three times. Listen, the things like that.

Thanks, Trump.

Meanwhile, on the international front, you have China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson

responding to the legislation that was enacted here or the legislation that passed the house

and the Senate imposing sanctions on Russia or secondary sanctions on countries that do business with Russia. It has yet to actually been implemented by Donald Trump. I don't think it's been signed yet either, at least as of this recording that is. And China made it very clear. We will not, this will not deter us in any way. We will continue to do business with Russia. We will continue

to do business with Iran. Any threat of secondary, bring it on is basically what China is saying.

The last time you threatened us, we cut off your rare earths and then you back down right away. Donald Trump, you are begging Xi Jinping to show up at the White House. We are not afraid of this at all. We dare you to try to impose secondary sanctions on China, whether it's our dealings with Iran or our dealings with Russia or our dealings with anybody. We don't support

unilateral sanctions by countries. That's what China's message was. This morning also satellite

imagery this morning showing the hoothees have dug roughly 20 kilometers of trenches in the mountains around Bob L. Mondab between eight and between September 8th and September 16th. The trenches serve a dual purpose defending against any Saudi-back counteroffensive to retake the East Coast and providing observation posts overlooking the shipping channels. So the trenches allow the hoothees on Sarala to target pretty easily ships that are going through the Bob L. Mondab straight in the

Red Sea. Finally, good news to report as well. The Midas Touch Network has searched past
