GOP Leaders IN TERROR over Trump's MIDTERM COLLAPSE!!

[0:00] Republican leaders are panicking and they are panicking on live TV as the last remaining group [0:06] supporting Donald Trump. Non-college educated white voters are no longer supporting him. [0:12] Donald Trump is deeply underwater among non-college educated white voters. He's deeply [0:17] underwater amongst all groups here in the United States. Inflation continues to rise. [0:23] The never ending wars continue. Donald Trump wakes up one day threatening war crimes against [0:29] Iran, then wakes up another day and says, we're going to deescalate and we're just going to leave [0:34] Iran. Can you please open the Strait of Hormuz? And Iran said, nope, you break it, you fix it. [0:39] You started this catastrophic war. You better pay us reparations. And then Donald Trump's like, [0:44] I'm just going to low key it. Okay. I'm just going to do a semi negotiation. And people are like, [0:50] what the heck are you even talking about? People are suffering here. They can't afford anything. [0:56] And all Donald Trump is doing right now is trying to talk about the communism boogeyman. So let's [1:03] take a look at what's going on. I want to show you the data, which shows Donald Trump losing among [1:10] non-college educated white voters at this point. I mean, we are at the home stretch or at least getting [1:16] to the home stretch right before the midterms. But first I want to show you the reaction. How are [1:20] these Republican leaders responding? And as noted, they are panicking on live TV. Let's take a look [1:27] at the chair of the RNC, Joe Grutters. And his response is kind of the typical MAGA response. [1:35] It's kind of an A or B at this point, right? Either say communism, socialism, boogeyman, [1:42] and maybe boogeyman, and then maybe say Hassan Piker, or put that in there. That's kind of one route [1:47] that the MAGA Republicans do. And the other is blame Joe Biden and just say it's all Joe Biden's [1:52] fault. Gas, $4 a gallon, inflation rising, GDP slow. Blame Joe Biden. Watch the RNC chair here [2:01] on live TV. Let's play it. But here's part of the record. Inflation, 3.5%. That is now, [2:07] according to government figures, higher than the 3.2% for nationwide earnings. Gas, [2:13] not $2 a gallon. As we all know, it's double that at four. Electricity prices haven't been [2:18] cut in half, as the president talked about. They continue to go up and to the right. And GDP [2:22] is at 1.5%. Why do Republicans deserve to keep power in Washington if that's part of the scorecard? [2:31] People have short memories, and they forget that Biden or Biden's economic disastrous [2:37] rain led us to the much higher inflation, higher gas prices. And this president, from day one, [2:45] has been working on getting these things under control. If it wasn't for the- [2:49] Inflation was 3%. Inflation was 3% when he took office. 2.2% by the time voters went to the polls [2:55] in November 24. And now it's higher than that, Joe. Inflation was at 9% under Biden, though. [3:02] But then I think there was a delayed feeling of all that pent-up price increases. And now that we have [3:08] to deal with it, this is certainly Biden's prices that we're still dealing with and we're still [3:14] getting under control. This president- [3:16] So is it the Biden economy then? I mean, if it's Biden's prices- [3:20] It's Biden's disastrous economic record. This president, the working family tax cuts, [3:27] no tax on tips and overtime, has had a big impact across this country. He's been working at $19 [3:34] trillion worth of investments that you're not going to see right away. This president's gone to work for [3:39] the American worker. That's what the Republican Party is. We are the working person's party now. [3:44] He has a lot of empathy for people that are paying these high gas prices, and he is doing everything [3:49] he can to get these prices down. Sometimes these national security issues come up. Listen, he's a [3:55] peace through strength guy. We've had eight different peace deals around the world. He's going to get [3:59] this under control, and we're going to get prices back down. But yes, people need to have faith that [4:04] the Republican Party and this president cares about them, and we're going to move this forward. [4:08] More from RNC Chair Joe Grutters right here. And he's like, look, the bottom line is we all know [4:16] Donald Trump is super popular amongst the base, super popular among MAGA. And that's why we're going to [4:23] win this because of Donald when all of the data shows the exact opposite. Play this clip. [4:29] Does he need to look inward here a little bit? No, I think that the president's beloved by the [4:34] base. As a matter of fact, the reason why we're going to win in November is because the president's [4:38] still super popular and probably the most popular president in the history of the country within [4:42] our base. He's the one person that we know could deliver these low propensity voters. That's why we're [4:47] having this midterm convention for the first time ever. It's going to be a Trump-a-palooza. And then we're [4:52] going to go out there. And I talked to him. I was traveling with him. We're going to maybe do 30 [4:56] rallies together in some of these districts to help try to drive turnout to make sure that people come [5:01] out and vote. You then have Republican Congress member Troy Downing, who says, look, we all know [5:09] Iran is losing right now because time is on our side. MAGA Republican Congress member Downing says, [5:17] each day Iran gets weaker and weaker and soon they're just going to collapse and they're going [5:23] to break. Do y'all remember what was it? Was it in April or it may have been May, but it may have been [5:29] April or May, where Donald Trump said in exactly three days, he said, Iran's oil facilities are going [5:39] to blow up because the blockade is working so great that they can't even hold the pressure [5:47] anymore, whatever that means, within the oil production facility. So they're going to just [5:52] explode. Doesn't it kind of remind you of with COVID where Donald Trump's like, one day it's going to go [5:57] in two days. There's only going to be one case. That's it. It's all going away. Dude lies about [6:04] everything, but here's Republican Congress member Troy Downing, you can see for yourself, play this [6:09] clip. Eventually they're just going to run out of resources and have no, have no choice. You know, [6:14] some of the, um, positives, but again, take this with a grain of salt is we've heard that, uh, I, [6:20] that Iran has been talking in talks with Oman about opening the strait. Uh, they're making some [6:26] demands on, uh, on, on the United States in terms of, uh, you know, uh, compensation for the cost of the, [6:34] the war and some other things, which I think are non-starters. And I, I hope they're non-starters [6:38] for this administration. And then on the other hand, we just heard from vice president Vance [6:43] very recently that Iran is saying that they have no plans on imposing tolls in the strait, [6:49] which is obviously good because that's something that I don't think anybody, you know, on this planet [6:55] is, is willing to do. It's completely contrary to maritime and, uh, uh, any kind of international law [7:01] there. So really the, the thing is, is we've got them against the ropes and they're going to continue [7:08] to bleed out resources till, till they can't do this anymore. And I understand Americans are, [7:13] are concerned. We've got a $4 gas at the pumps right now. I think that's about the average [7:18] and that will all come back to equilibrium. Then you have MAGA Republican Congress member, [7:25] uh, Emmer, uh, one of the leaders in, uh, Republican, uh, Congress. Uh, he says, look, [7:33] the bottom line is that our enemy China is trying to stop us from beating them in the AI war by [7:40] frustrating our ability to build data centers. We need to build data centers everywhere, but our enemy [7:47] China is stopping us from what our goal is. What Trump's goal is data centers in everybody's backyard. [7:55] And on state regime media, she's Maria Bartirom was like, this is industrial revolution part two. [8:01] All of the CEOs I speak to all of these data centers, that's, what's making us rich. These [8:05] are like some sick people. This is their message though. Here, play this clip. [8:10] We believe in local control. And I think people have to start reporting and talking about the fact that [8:16] not only are we in a race with China, when it comes to AI, when it comes to computing, [8:21] we we're competing with China every day. And you know what they're doing? [8:24] They're pumping money in with misinformation to this country. They're using our freedoms against [8:30] us. Our enemy, uh, China is trying to stop us from beating them in the AI war by, uh, [8:36] frustrating our ability to build data centers. [8:38] Yeah. I mean, it is an industrial revolution part two, uh, with the amount of jobs and, and, [8:44] and build out from these data centers. And it's certainly helping the economy as well. [8:48] Yeah. We're not buying that. We're not, we don't, we don't want that. We don't want data centers in [8:52] our backyard, Trump and MAGA, but that's what Trump's saying. So they got to go all in on it. [8:57] And so now let me just share with you some of the data, as I promised I would. Um, you have Harry [9:03] Enten over on CNN, showing that Donald Trump's approval with non-college white voters and non-college [9:11] voters in general right now. Think of this number with non non-college educated white voters. He's [9:17] net negative eight non-college educated voters in general net negative 19. So net negative eight [9:26] to net negative 19. And then in the 2024 election, he was plus 13 with that group here. Watch what [9:34] Enten says. Let's play this clip. Well, is the MAGA movement was built among the working class, [9:40] non-college Americans. And take a look at this trend line that we're looking at in the data. Here we go. [9:45] Okay. Net favorability rating, the MAGA movement, non-college adults back in October of 2024. Look at [9:50] that on the plus side of ledger, positive plus six points. Down we go into the Atlantic Ocean. Now look [9:57] at this movement. Now minus 22 points. That is a shift, Johnny B, of 28 points away from the MAGA [10:07] movement, away with non-college Americans. So the bottom line is, it's the group at which the Trump [10:13] movement was built upon. They are shifting away and saying, we don't like MAGA anymore. Same question, [10:18] same poll here. This is really interesting to see these numbers move like that. Yes, exactly right. [10:22] It's the same question. Same poll. All right. So how about what the same group is saying about [10:28] Donald Trump specifically? Yeah. Okay. So you know what? The idea being, okay, maybe they've [10:32] soured on MAGA, but they haven't saved, soured on MAGA, but maybe they haven't soured on me, [10:37] Donald Trump might be saying. Ain't the truth. Take a look here. Okay. Non-college voters on Trump. [10:42] Hello. Okay. In the 2024 election, he won them by 13 points, right? That was the reason he won. He won [10:48] among non-college voters, a very strong performance amongst them. And that, of course, [10:52] was the reason he was able to win because college voters were against him. But look at this now, [10:56] minus 19 points, minus 19 points. We're talking about an even bigger shift here. We're talking [11:01] about, what is this? This is a 32 point shift away from the president of the United States when it comes [11:08] to his key core political group. This is why he's in so much trouble. It's not just that college voters [11:13] are against Trump now. It turns out that non-college voters, the ones that he built his [11:17] presidential bid on, have waved adios, goodbye. See you later, Mr. Trump. We don't like you anymore. [11:22] So what impact might this have on Republican House members? [11:25] Okay. Johnny B is asking the key question here, because maybe they're abandoning President Trump, [11:30] but you know what? The midterm elections, they may not like Democrats either. [11:34] Well, if you're a congressional Republican, you wish that to be true. I have bad news for you, [11:38] because it turns out that the non-college voters are turning on you too, [11:41] and it may in fact turn you out of power in the congressional elections coming up in the midterms. [11:45] Choice for the House, non-college voters, 2024 election. Look at this. Republicans plus 13 points. [11:51] Now Democrats, Democrats actually lead among non-college voters in an average of polls. [11:57] It's just a point. But you know what? When it comes to a point, and given how well the Democrats [12:01] are doing among college voters, these are the types of numbers in which blue waves are built. [12:05] And therefore we can say that the key group that put Donald Trump in the White House, [12:08] the key group that he built the MAGA movement upon, is leaving him, and it's leaving congressional [12:13] Republicans too. [12:14] And as you see Donald Trump's polling crash like that, I'm reminded by the incredible [12:21] cross-examination of a very sweaty Pete Hegseth, and a very equally disoriented [12:28] Brooke Rollins, Agriculture Secretary. Hegseth is the Defense Secretary, unfortunately. [12:34] Both unfortunately have cabinet-level positions. The cross-examination that was done to them [12:39] by Democratic Senator Gillibrand. It was one of the best cross-exams I've seen in a while. [12:45] Now mind you, with everything we know that just is taking place right now, as Donald Trump's just [12:50] saying, I'm just going to low-key my negotiations with Iran. We're just going to do semi-negotiations, [12:58] and we're just going to walk out. And Iran's like, you ain't going to walk out until you pay us [13:02] reparations. You lost the war. You think you're just going to walk away and declare victory? [13:06] We're not even going to give you that. I'm reminded by what took place three weeks ago, [13:11] when you had Hegseth and Rollins being cross-examined by New York Senator Gillibrand. [13:16] Watch this, especially now with everything we know. In the past three weeks, we've learned more about [13:21] how the Trump regime has depleted all of our weapons. We don't have interceptors. We don't have [13:27] attackums. Our military bases have been abandoned in the Middle East. So this cross-exam from three [13:33] weeks ago takes on a new meaning right now. Here, watch this. [13:37] And what would you say to them who are seeing their health care bills rise because [13:44] massive cuts to Medicaid? They've seen their grocery and gas bills rise, and this unpopular [13:52] and unauthorized war abroad is a higher priority to this administration than their ability to feed [13:58] their families and provide health care to their loved ones who are sick. [14:05] Well, Senator, you're talking about political trade-offs, and our job is to deliver for the [14:09] United States military and the President of the United States. And we look at the cost of a nuclear [14:13] Iran, and we want to prevent that for future generations. And that requires funding and supplementals [14:18] and this budget and next generation capabilities. And that's why we're here today to request some of that, [14:23] to ensure we can ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. [14:25] So you're essentially saying, you're asking for literally $1.5 trillion for a war that President [14:32] Trump said he already won. You're asking for $1.5 trillion, unlimited money for bombs, [14:38] but insufficient money for the American people for their health care, their food, their housing. [14:44] And our farmers, Secretary Rollins, who we have cut SNAP program, we are not funding the [14:53] losses from emergencies that have happened in blue states, particularly when we had [15:00] cross. That's not true. That's not true. [15:02] False. You're not funding it. But back to you, Secretary Hegseth. [15:05] And I would like to respond to the fertilizer and gas. [15:07] You continue to have your chance, Secretary Hegseth. [15:09] There's no reason to be rude. [15:11] You are asking for unlimited money for bombs when people can't feed their families. And I don't know [15:17] how this administration intends to defend those decisions to the American people. [15:21] I'm not unlimited bombs, Senator. I'm asking for the right bombs at the right time to ensure we [15:26] can deter our adversaries into the future. And that's why this is a generational investment. [15:30] And it was the previous administration that didn't fund this department. [15:33] The reason why they are so upset with you and this administration is because the words you have [15:40] used in the past don't add up about Iran specifically. You said that we had obliterated, [15:46] quote, unquote, Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons. The president made the same claim. [15:51] Yet eight months later, in February of 2026, the president launched an active war, [15:56] claiming Iran was within two weeks of having a weapon. So when you say two very different things, [16:02] the American people don't know who to believe or what to believe. They just know they can't [16:06] afford their health care. They can't afford their food. They can't afford housing. And our [16:10] farmers are continuing to suffer. So which is true. Was it obliterated or wasn't it? What's the status? [16:18] The nuclear sites under Midnight Hammer were obliterated. But Iranians foolishly continued [16:23] to attempt to pursue nuclear capabilities, which is why we destroyed their defense industrial base [16:28] and so many of the other capabilities to ensure they can't get to a nuclear weapon. [16:32] We're staying laser focused on the objective. And you're trying to make campaign commercials. [16:36] No, we're not. So listen to this. You also say that you made the missile program, [16:42] quote, destroyed and made combat ineffective, quote, Iran's entire ballistic missile production [16:48] capacity. Every company that builds every component of those missiles has been functionally defeated [16:53] and destroyed. And that the missile program existing stockpiles were depleted and decimated, [16:58] almost completely ineffective. So why are there missiles left to hit Jordan and result in the loss of [17:04] life of our brave men and women? As we stated from the beginning, [17:08] the Iranian defense industrial base is effectively gone. But they do have underground [17:13] facilities because they're the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. And they've spent 47 [17:17] years trying to hide their missiles under mountains, just like their nuclear capabilities, [17:22] because they would like to get a nuclear weapon to wield it against us. [17:25] Of the war to believe because it's even over or it's not over. It's within two weeks or it's not [17:30] two weeks. We have no missiles or we have missiles. And that consternation is why so many New Yorkers are [17:37] perplexed, stressed out and find this war to be incredibly unpopular because they don't understand [17:43] the choices that the president's making. They don't agree with those choices. Secretary Rollins. [17:48] So you have cut over 160,000 New Yorkers have been kicked off SNAP. What do you have against [17:55] hardworking New Yorkers, children who need SNAP and seniors who need SNAP? [17:58] Well, first of all, diesel is down under Biden versus today, 581 versus 480. Gas is down from [18:06] Biden today from 484 to 386 today. Fertilizer is down 56% from Biden highs. [18:13] Prices are higher than when you took office. All of those prices are higher than when you took office. [18:19] So you are not making life better for New York farmers. That is not true. That is not true, [18:22] Senator. And let me tell you what New York is stressed out about is the fact that your state [18:25] is taking prime farmland and turning it into a solar farms. That is absolutely inexcusable. [18:31] For you to stay- I have visited the New York farmers two times, two times in upstate New York. [18:38] You know, I want to bring in my interview with Senator Gillibrand from New York. [18:43] Let's bring in that interview. Senator Gillibrand, great to see you. [18:48] We were showing before your cross-examination of Defense Secretary of Pete Hegseth. That was back [18:54] on July 21st, where you were calling him out, where he showed up. He wanted $1.5 trillion [18:59] after claiming they won the war four months then. Now we're learning even more alarming information [19:05] about the interceptor stocks being depleted. The Navy destroyers don't have the anti-ballistics. [19:10] Our attackums have been depleted. Donald Trump announces fake negotiations with Iran. [19:16] They're just mocking us now. I mean, as an American, to see Iran [19:19] mock these fake negotiations. And I'm watching the fake negotiations and I'm like, [19:23] we're getting mocked by Iran? Like, what is going on? It's all very embarrassing. [19:28] But just as Trump bankrupted casinos, it seems like he's bankrupted our military now also. We're out of [19:34] weapons. And Iran knows it. Everyone knows it. What do you make of this? [19:36] Well, Trump has brought this country into a deeply unpopular, unauthorized and illegal war. [19:44] And he has literally unlimited money, a blank check for bombs, and he is unwilling to pay for [19:50] health care, unwilling to pay for our seniors to get their prescription drugs, unwilling to pay for [19:54] Medicaid, unwilling to pay for food stamps. It's disgraceful. And so he's making choices for the [20:00] American people that they have no say in. And I think that's what's making these elections as game [20:07] changing as they are, because people want a different type of leadership. They want someone [20:12] who cares about the challenges we have here at home, who cares about the cost of groceries or [20:17] the cost of housing or the cost of health care, which continues to rise under Trump. [20:22] A lot of people talk about, oh, he's doing the golden ballroom. He's doing the heliport. He's [20:26] gilding the statues gold. He's doing the reflecting. When you talk about what Hegseth was asking for [20:31] with $1.5 trillion, they're reporting that now they're building out these Trump-class battleships [20:37] because Trump likes the way World War I battleships looked like. And so they wanted to put $200 billion [20:44] and then it's $300 billion. And then the numbers just keep on going up to do nuclear battleships [20:48] because he likes the way they look. And it's like, they're lying all the time. And to your point, [20:55] it's like, that's where the trillions of dollars are going. And while the Americans are having [21:00] their health care ripped away because dude like battleships, the way they looked in World War I, [21:04] when we know that right now, just drone warfare, unmanned submersives can knock out a [21:09] Trump-class battleship, you know, very easily. Battleships, ballrooms, and bombs. That is what [21:15] Trump is fixated on, not the cost of groceries or housing or our health care. And it's a disgrace. [21:22] Let's talk about also, you know, Trump's also plan. I guess we can add a V there voting and [21:28] trying to take away people's vote. Talk about your campaign finance bill. It's a big deal. It needs to [21:34] be getting more attention. There's too much money in politics and the people who have the money get [21:38] to control everything. And so we need money out of politics. When in America today, 100 billionaire [21:46] families are responsible for one in every six dollars, that's an outrage. It means that they [21:51] have an outsized voice in our democracy. And it means they set an agenda that doesn't respond to the [21:56] needs of the American people. We need the American people's voice to be heard. And I think if you get [22:02] rid of money in politics, people will campaign differently. Instead of going to those fancy living [22:07] rooms and asking for money, they will be going to subway stops. They will be going to corner stores. [22:13] They'll be going to community centers and talking to voters directly about what they care about. [22:18] And if their campaigns are funded through these democracy dollars of everyday voters, [22:24] I mean, investments by everyday voters, as opposed to the wealthiest among us, it changes everything. [22:32] And the communities that have had this done where they've actually used democracy dollars or other [22:37] really good, innovative campaign finance systems. It changes who votes, it changes who runs, and it [22:43] changes who wins. And I think that's meaningful. I mean, you see the contrast between in our system, [22:49] Trump propped up by the oligarchs. And on the other hand, in Canada, you got someone like a [22:54] Prime Minister Carney, someone who is experienced and diligent and articulate, you know, and who has now [23:01] kind of taken the mantle, it seems, of fighting for values and principles that I once thought, [23:07] you know, the United States president would focus on internationally. But I want to talk about that [23:10] for a second as well, because Canada, obviously very close to New York, both in geographic location [23:17] and economically and relationship wise. And I think one of the most damaging things Trump has done amongst [23:25] many, his constant attacks on Canada, Canada, just the other day, he said, they're nasty, they're nasty [23:30] people, you know, and the tariffs for the wildfires versus normally, we would help them, they help us [23:37] out. We have Midas Canada, whole Canadian division, you know, and the people there are just livid. [23:42] They've gone elbows up after what they've seen Trump do, you know, to Canada. Talk about that from [23:47] your perspective, you know, being a senator from New York, given the proximity. Well, we have a lot of [23:52] businesses that were cross border, we have a lot of communities that benefit from Canadians coming [23:58] down to go shopping to come to Lake Placid to tour the Olympic Center. We have a lot of businesses in [24:05] Buffalo that people come from Canada to come see Niagara Falls. So we have a lot of tourism and [24:12] economic engagement and entanglement. And Trump's reckless tariffs have resulted in a lot of those [24:18] businesses suffering. Businesses costs have gone up. People have not been able to go across the [24:24] border in the way they used to go because of these tariffs. A lot of Canadians have just stopped coming [24:29] to America because Trump has been so rude towards them. And it's very hard for these border communities [24:35] where they rely on visitors and they rely on tourism. On top of that, the tariffs on Canada affect [24:41] our everyday spending. We import a lot of things from Canada, things like lumber that make our [24:47] housing costs go down. Making lumber costs more and putting those tariffs on Canada, it means [24:54] the houses and apartments can't be actually built for low cost. And it costs everybody much more to [25:01] afford it. The same with food. We get a lot of food from Canada. We just do a lot. And so his chaos, [25:07] his chaotic tariffs is creating just higher costs for New Yorkers and Americans and ruining a lot of [25:13] community businesses. He seems to try to, he always wants to punch down and he thinks, and I think he [25:19] thought that Canada would just submit to the crazy 51st state. They didn't, they stood up. And it seems [25:25] like when people stand up, he can't take it when you stand up to him, you know, but then, but then he [25:30] always loves punching down. I mean, you know, it's like, what's the latest stuff? He goes after endangered [25:34] species. He's like, that's what we're going to do. Let's go after the endangered. It's like, that's one of their big [25:38] initiatives. What's the other thing? Medicare Part D, you know, it's like, okay, it wasn't enough just [25:42] to rip away, uh, Medicaid from people and the Obamacare subsidies. Like what now can we do? [25:48] Let's go after a very important thing, Medicare Part D and let's just screw over people. It's like, [25:54] what are you doing? And I know this is a big issue, you know, for you. Talk to us about. [25:57] It's a big issue for Medicare patients, because if they have Part D and don't get that subsidy, [26:03] that could mean hundreds of dollars every month for them. It's real money that they will not be able [26:08] to have to afford their prescription drugs. And if you have anybody that you know or love on Medicare, [26:14] you know that these medicines is what keeps them comfortable, alive, functioning well, thriving, [26:21] and without access to medicine, their lives will be lost. Their quality of life declines. It's just [26:27] really callous and cruel to treat our parents and grandparents that way. And ourselves. I mean, [26:33] I'm 59, I'm not quite 65, but boy, it's, um, it's very hateful towards a lot of Americans who need [26:40] those resources to, to live. I want to, before we go, just get your perspective on these, just the [26:46] different hearings. We've highlighted a lot of your cross-examinations of people, whether it's Hegseth or [26:51] one of these Trump stooges. And, um, it just kind of feels like an alternate reality to watch, [26:57] you know, on one hand, you know, we've got, you know, you and people like that asking questions. [27:01] And then we've got these people here who it would be parody, you know, and it would be funny if it [27:06] wasn't so dangerous to see these people show up and how they answer and they can't speak in sentences [27:11] because they're thinking, I need to say what's going to make dear leader happy. And then I watched [27:17] some of your Republican colleagues who treat them with like kid gloves. Like I'm like watching this whole [27:22] thing. I'm like, to me, this is not a political thing. I'm just watching this. And I'm like, [27:27] I'm like, and I wonder what goes through your mind when you ask these people questions. I'm like, [27:32] how are these real people? Like, what the hell are they, what the hell are they even talking about? [27:36] Like what, how is this America? He's complicit. I mean, he is, [27:42] he's literally just whatever Trump commands he does. And he's not prepared for the job of secretary of [27:48] defense. He's not focused on making sure our military is strong. You know, when we started [27:54] this war against Iran and they had insufficient information to make appropriate targets and hit a [28:02] girl's school in Iran, um, I grilled him on how was that targeting done and why are, why are we putting [28:12] in at risk civilians that is against all laws of war. It's against all human rights. [28:19] And we had a whole division in the military whose job was to make sure we don't have civilian harm. [28:24] He fired all those people. Um, we have protections within the military to protect against cyber [28:31] interference, cyber crime, cyber, um, espionage. And we had all these protections to make sure foreign [28:38] countries didn't undermine our elections. He fired all those people, every type of senior person that [28:44] is in place to protect our service members and make sure that when we do, uh, do engagements, [28:51] we do them right. He continues to fire them all under the auspices of we need to be more lethal or we [28:57] don't have enough testosterone. Like these issues and ideas that he keeps bringing up are absurdities and [29:03] he's leading us down a reckless path. And we are much less safe because of the decisions that Hegseth [29:08] has made and the, his unwillingness to stand up to president Trump when he's wrong. [29:12] Senator Gillibrand, it's first time appearing on the Midas touch network. We gotta make sure you [29:17] come back on more. We, we appreciate you fighting. I certainly appreciate your cross exams. You know, [29:24] I show them because you know, you don't, uh, a lot of people like to listen to themselves talk and they, [29:30] it's like you ask the questions and, and, and put them on the spot and we need, [29:34] we need more of that. I appreciate it. Thank you. Well, I'm going to keep fighting [29:39] as hard as I can because I've never seen a more corrupt, um, self-focused, irrational, [29:45] uh, reckless administration. And what they're doing is harming New Yorkers every day. [29:50] Yeah, no, I appreciate it. And sometimes the language doesn't even, it's, it's, it's, [29:54] it doesn't even capture it. Like it's just, you look at, you're like, what the F is, the hell is, [30:00] what the, what is this? His new, his new idea that he wants to sell people on truth, social early [30:06] access. Um, he's basically offering insider information. He's actually encouraging trading [30:12] on non-public information and offering that for a hundred thousand dollars a pop. Uh, it's one of [30:18] the reasons why I want to ban stock trading by all members of Congress, by the president, [30:22] the vice president, the senior administration officials, nobody should be getting rich off of [30:26] the access to the non-public information that their job is giving them. And so we need to ban [30:31] all stock trading and all access, um, to markets because the truth is they have non-public [30:36] information and Trump right now is selling it. So going even the next degree of not only trading on [30:42] it for himself, but that's selling that non-public information. [30:45] Yeah, but your Republican colleagues, Senator Loomis, Senator Scott, they go, we've never seen [30:49] a more ethical. They go, we've never seen a more, and that's what they said today. We've never seen a [30:54] more ethical administrator. It's crazy stuff. Crazy stuff. Thank you. Thank you. [31:00] Everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
