Full Episode
Donald Trump is posting AI images of himself as the Pope. This is a very unserious, unstable, vile individual. Meanwhile, the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, is posting AI cartoon images of himself holding a sword that says, budget cuts, and looking at a dog that says, wow. and posting cartoon AI images of himself that say 100% operational control.
And when you zoom in on his hands, his sleeve is part of his hands. Why does his finger look like that? Then you have Donald Trump giving an interview with Kristen Welker of Meet the Press. And Donald Trump says that he is okay with a recession. He'd be fine with it. He doesn't care. Here, play this clip.
And that's my question. Long term. Is it OK in the short term to have a recession? Look, yes, everything's OK. What we are. I said this is a transition period.
I think we're going to do fantastic. As former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says, post this image from CNN, which is now finally reporting on this. the last boats without crippling tariffs from China are arriving to the US. The countdown to shortages and higher prices has begun. No, it's begun three weeks ago, CNN. But as Pete Buttigieg says, this isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains. This time, not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president. How long have we been talking about freight volumes and trucking volumes and showing you photos of the ports here on the Midas Touch network?
As Senator Bernie Sanders told me, sometimes the most important issues are what news isn't talking about. It's why I talk about these things here over and over again, because we can follow the data where these things are headed so it doesn't hit us like a shock. That's why we report on this stuff weeks in advance on the Midas Touch Network.
We also learned yesterday that the Trump administration will not renew Biden-era grants worth $1 billion that were aimed at boosting mental health services in schools. A Department of Education spokesperson confirmed to ABC.
As Travis Aker says, I do not understand why mental health programs are being defunded by President Trump when every school shooting is blamed on mental health by MAGA Republicans. I just want you to think about that. Every time there's a school shooting, the MAGA Republicans say it's not because of the guns. It's because of mental health.
OK, well, now you're defunding mental health services to schools, right? Cruelty is the point, folks. This shouldn't be a political issue. I'm just giving you the data points. I'm not speculating what they're doing. I'm reading you statements that the Trump MAGA regime is confirming. Oh, another post by Donald Trump. Oh, he's doing the cartoon image of himself right now.
