The Trump grift just continues on.

Grift is almost too nice of a word.

It's thievery.

His kids are benefiting.

He's benefiting.

If anyone else had ever used the position that was the president of the United States to benefit financially in this way, the outrage from all media, independent media, corporate media, rightfully so,

would be holding their feet to the fire.

So I just posed the question, corporate media, you heard what Brett just said.

He laid that out beautifully.

Great work, B. Why not?

Why not you?

Where are you here right now?

And you know what?

We don't need you as the collective we here.

It's disappointing that you're no longer doing your jobs, but hey, that's why we're here.

And that's where we are going to continue to hold Donald Trump's feet to the fire every instance, every step of the way, Ben.

I have to tell you about this game-changing product I use before a night with drinks.

It's called pre-alcohol.

Zbiotic's pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.

It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking.

Now here's how it works.

you drink alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut it's a buildup of this byproduct not dehydration that's to blame for rough days after drinking pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow every time i have pre-alcohol before drinks i notice a difference the next day

Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying.

So I first gave pre-alcohol a try when I was at a wedding over the summer.

I drank it before my first cocktail and you wouldn't believe how on top of my game I felt the very next morning.

Now fall is right around the corner.

So that means it's time to raise a glass to your favorite team.

Whether you're tailgating, enjoying a college game day, or watching Sunday's action on that fancy new TV, don't forget ZBiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink.

Drink a pre-alcohol before drinking and enjoy great days after celebrating all season long.

Benji, where to next?

Well, that's why I urged on the show on Monday when I said this deal is fragile, fragile.

And our biggest concern, our collective, the brothers' biggest concern was what does the phase two of this look like?

Because it doesn't seem like there's been any thought put into it.

and that's just the once again being verified the longer now and and when these days pass can we also just quickly talk about how weird it is just that last little section of that clip when donald trump goes oh no not you cnn fake news not that i'm trying to defend cnn here but i'm just making a larger point could you imagine if everybody's favorite game imagine if biden did it but in this context imagine if obama did it

Imagine if Obama was fielding a question from Fox News or a whole gaggle of reporters, and he looked over and he saw Peter Doocy there raise his hand, and he said, not you, Fox News, fake news.

Could you imagine the outrage?

Could you imagine the outrage?

And yet, once again, let it slide.

It's just Donnie being Donnie, y'all.

I mean, it just grinds my gears there, Benji.

Benji, where to next?

but and that's the issue though right when you're not cognitively all there like i'm not saying that to be hyperbolic here like we're all witnessing this in real time what's going on like you know that stupid trick when you ask someone hey you got some sup dog on your shirt and you go what's up dog like i feel like he he would parrot that like he would fall for that and have no idea what's going on like

It's scary, Ben, because you're right.

Who knows what he's saying to Vladimir Putin when he's having these two-hour long conversations?

That's a long time to be on the phone.

I don't think I've ever been on the phone for two hours with anybody.

I can only imagine what's being said on that or what Putin's trying to bait and get out of Donald Trump on that and who's in the room there to kind of help keep him, Trump, from spilling all the secrets.

It's a scary thing when you do look at it from that perspective, Ben.

And I just like how Johnson keeps going, talking about this political theater when he is quite literally, Johnson, engaging in political theater.

Look, we're on day 16 of the government shutdown.

When the audio listeners get this, we'll be on day 17.

That's how counting works.

There's no end in sight.

And Ben, to your point, it's because Donald Trump doesn't want it to end.

I saw the stat from Ron Filipkowski, our editor-in-chief here at the Midas Touch Network, that Mike Johnson has now also had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days.

Yeah, that's a crazy stat.

That's a crazy frigging stat.

When you look at these numbers next to each other, there is no other conclusion I could draw, anybody can draw, other than the fact that these Republican politicians do not actually want to work, especially for you, the American people, period.

The Republican Party has proven once again that if you give them power, if you give them control,

They don't work for your answer to you.

They only answer to one person, and that is their dear leader, Donald Trump.

Trump says jump.

They say how high you say you need health care.

They say no.

You say you want the Epstein files released.

They cover their ears and eyes and they don't show up to work.

So this whole thing to me is just so frustrating on every single level because their hypocrisy just knows no bounds.

going on everybody i'm excited to get into today's show as well brett i want to build on what you were saying but i yeah first i want to start with here the firing missiles in camp pendleton like what in the kim jong-un vladimir putin is this stuff this is the type of strongman behavior that's quite literally the stuff of dictators and absolutely has no place in america and yet you know here we are

A deeply disturbing trend though, Brett, that I'm seeing as well, building on what you're saying, is that during the second Trump regime, there are some people out there who consider themselves, who may consider themselves pro-democracy,

but yet constantly discount very legitimate stories that are coming out of this White House because they think with no facts or data or sourcing, this is their gut telling them that this is too crazy.

This can't be real.

No way this is real.

Y'all are making this up.

Look.

we have got to come to terms with the fact that there are actually crazy things coming out of this white house so please stop giving this guy the benefit of the doubt we source meticulously here at the midas touch network facts are our friends here we lead with facts and data as our north star that's a good place to play so please if you actually do consider yourself pro-democracy and you are one of those people that i was talking about wake up
