Chapter 1: How is Donald Trump being criticized in this episode?
Even North Korea is denouncing Donald Trump's proposal to take over Gaza. Yes, we're in the timeline where North Korea is more sane than Donald Trump. And just look at what Donald Trump is posting, by the way, in his social media platform. Trump wrote this. President Donald J. Trump was just unanimously elected chairman of the board of the prestigious Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
The president stated, quote, it is a great honor to be chairman of the Kennedy Center, especially with this amazing board of trustees. We will make the Kennedy Center a very special and exciting place. And below it, they're advertising whatever the hell this AI thing is. Don't borrow from banks. Do this instead. Brilliant. Now, again, of course, it's making Kim Jong-un look a little rational.
Chapter 2: What bizarre incident involved Elon Musk's child at the Oval Office?
I got to show you this clip because a lot of people have been going back to that bizarre and deranged Elon Musk press conference with his kid inside the Oval Office with Donald Trump. And if you actually have seen a lot of people point this out, I got to show it to you. Then I'm going to go on to increasing inflation. Donald Trump talking about capitulating to Russia. I'll get there in a moment.
But look at this. Elon Musk's kid appears to have said to Donald Trump during that Oval Office press conference, I want you to shush your effing mouth. Watch for yourself. Here, play this clip. from one year to the next are the same. Okay, let me just show it to you one more time. This is from a viral TikTok that's just been making its rounds. You may have seen it.
So he says, shush your effing mouth. It looks like, I mean, tell me what you think. He says, then he picks his nose and wipes it on the desk. And Donald Trump just sits there and takes it because let's face it, Elon Musk is basically running the government at this point. Let's play it.
And the prices from one year to the next are the same. And their mortgage, all their debt payments dropped. This kid. Oh my God, there he is again. No, oh!
He's gonna put his booger fingers on the presidential desk.

Chapter 3: What charges did Pam Bondi announce against New York officials?
All right, I just had to show you that in the morning. Oh my God, all right. Speaking of bizarre, so Donald Trump's Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who's supposed to be like the, she's supposed to be like the smart one and the rational one in the administration. So she held a press conference yesterday where she said that she was bringing
charges against the New York governor, Kathy Hochul, and other New York officials like Letitia James, the New York attorney general and others. She goes, I'm bringing charges. Watch this. Watch this. Then we'll talk about it.
We have filed charges against Kathy Hochul. We have filed charges against Letitia James and Mark Schroeder, who is with DMV. This is a new DOJ, and we are taking steps to protect Americans, American citizens, and angel moms, like the mom standing right behind me, who you're going to hear from in a moment. New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops.
It stops today. As you know, we sued Illinois and New York didn't listen. So now you're next.
So when people saw that, like, are you bringing criminal charges? Like, what are you, you're charging the New York governor and the New York attorney general with crimes? And by the way, nothing even was filed on the docket until hours later. Here's what Governor Kathy Hochul wrote once the case wound up on the docket finally. New York is proud that immigrants from across the globe come here
searching for a better life. And we're protecting all New Yorkers by cracking down on violent criminals. We expect Attorney General Pam Bondi's worthless publicity-driven lawsuit to be a total failure. My full statement. Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul. on Attorney General Bondi's publicity-driven lawsuit.
Earlier today, Attorney General Pam Bondi marched in front of the television cameras for a dramatic media briefing to announce she was filing charges against New York State relating to our immigration laws. Hours later, when legal papers were shared with reporters, we learned this was smoke and mirrors.
The Department of Justice was filing a routine civil action about a law passed in 2019 that has been upheld by the courts time and time again. Here are the facts. Our current laws allow federal immigration officials to access any DMV database with a judicial warrant.
that's a common sense approach that most new yorkers support but there's no way i'm letting federal agents or elon musk's shadowy doge operation get unfettered access to the personal data of any new yorker in the dmv system like 16 year old kids learning to drive and other vulnerable people new york is proud that immigrants from across the globe come here searching for a better life

meanwhile the canadian boycott on all things america and american continues strong i think we're going to see this in some of our economic data here in the united states over the next several months it won't hit right away because the boycott is a few weeks old canadians are not buying american nor are they traveling to america
If they have rental properties or homes, they're trying to get rid of it and sell it. In essence, it's a scarlet letter from Canadians or for Canadians to travel here or to buy American. And Canadians are pretty united about this across the country. Obviously, if they're forced to be here, if they're forced to do something, they got to do what they got to do.
But unless that's the case, Canadians are saying no. Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, who you've seen a lot here on the Midas Touch Network, said the following. Don't spend another dollar in America. Across the country, Canada, people are canceling long-planned trips. I just heard from a Canadian travel agent who was telling her customers she won't book trips to the United States.
Canada, the boycott is strong. Canada, strong as F-word. We don't bend. We don't break. Meanwhile, one of the things we also learned is that New York, by the way, has good reason not to give Elon access to all of the personal data for another data breach.

Chapter 5: Why is New York City seeking legal action regarding FEMA funds?
We learned that Trump and Elon Musk illegally revoked $80 million in congressionally appropriated FEMA funds from New York City's bank account yesterday.
money previously dispersed for shelter and services says new york city comptroller brad lander lander is demanding that the state pursue legal action so remember what happened donald trump dismissed without prejudice the federal case against the new york corrupt mayor mayor adams
In return, it seems there was a quid pro quo to allow the federal government, allow Musk to just steal $80 million that was appropriated to FEMA, from FEMA to the people of New York. This is the statement from the New York City comptroller Lander on Trump administration's illegal reversal of FEMA funding.
This morning, my financial team shockingly uncovered that President Trump and his crony, Elon Musk, illegally executed a revocation of $80 million in congressionally appropriated FEMA funding from New York City's bank account. Late yesterday afternoon, this is money that the federal government previously dispersed for shelter and services, and it's now missing.
This highway robbery of our funds directly out of our bank accounts
is a betrayal of everyone who calls new york city home new york city cannot take this lying down i call on the mayor to immediately pursue legal action to ensure tens of millions of dollars stolen by trump and doge are rightfully returned if instead mayor adams continues to be trump's pawn my office will request to work in partnership with the new york city law department to pursue aggressive legal action so this is what the deal that was cut
between Trump and Adams to steal the money that belonged to shelter services in New York. This shouldn't shock you though, because Republicans hate everyone other than billionaires. Repeat after me, Republicans hate everyone other than billionaires. Look at the budget that they released yesterday, right?
This is their budget, $4.5 trillion in new deficits for tax writing, 4 trillion debt limit hike for their tax cuts that go to billionaires. trillions in tax cuts to the billionaires. And then it goes on to talk about $800 million or so reduced from Medicaid. 800 million reduced from Medicaid right there. Increase the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. While all of this is going on,
the ap associated press was banned from the press room because they refused to refer to the gulf of mexico as the gulf of america this is the statement by associated press as a global news organization the associated press informs billions of people around the world every day with factual nonpartisan journalism.
