LIVE: Trump Employee BREAKS HIS SILENCE, Trump MELTDOWN Rages

a trump employee previously identified. in the maral Lago criminal indictment as. employee number five is now speaking out. and breaking his silence his name is. Brian Butler he worked at maralago for. over 20 years up until 2022 when he. hired his own independent lawyers and. now he's telling CNN the crimes that he. saw take place which he previously. relayed to the FBI we will break it all.

down also Donald Trump earlier today. filed a motion in the Manhattan district. attorney criminal case against him which. is set for trial on March 25th and. Donald Trump is claiming absolute. presidential immunity in that case he's. filing a motion to exclude everything. that happened while he was in office and. also to adjourn the trial to stop the. trial and ultimately throw it out on. absolute presidential immunity grounds.

we're going to break that down this is. conduct that occurred before he was in. office so what he's essentially arguing. is that because he tried to cover up the. crime while he was in office that should. serve as a way to provide immunity for. the crimes that took place before he was. in office the way I've previously. described it on a hot take earlier in. the day if you were to rob a bank then. become president and then try to cover.

up the robbery you would do exactly what. Donald Trump's doing and say you have. absolute presidential immunity because. of your coverup we'll break it all down. Donald Trump a big loser in the case. against egene Carrol he tried to avoid. posting that Bond but he ultimately had. to post a 91.6 million shity Bond he did. not post it himself he had a company. called Federal insurance company or chub. actually post the bond in in that case.

Donald Trump put some fine print in. there to try to say that he had 60 days. to pay if he were to lose on the appeal. EEG Carol made sure it was a 30-day. period and that the money would be. immediately transferred another win for. egene Carol and her legal team also. immediately after President Joe Biden's. electric inspiring and hopeful State of. the Union that I'm sure you watched here. live on the Midas studge Network Donald. Trump spent his time honoring hungary's.

authoritarian leader Victor Orban at his. Club telling Orban things like he would. cut off Aid to Ukraine and allow. Vladimir Putin to win that's how Trump. would solve the problem Trump spent his. time defaming his rape victim mocking. stutterers spreading lies about the 2020. election while glitching on stage. insisting over and over again as part of. his stum speech that he is not in. cognitive decline and mixes up names on.

purpose and promising to cut Social. Security and Medicare and he was only. getting started folks the Republicans. then proceeded to give a disastrous. response to the State of the Union which. has been widely panned and mocked on. Saturday Night Live Donald Trump was. then humiliated in front of the entire. world by Jimmy Kimmel during the Oscars. and President Biden uh really kind of. kicking into overdrive right now at the. right time as the campaign really. started starts to heat up President.

Biden's been traveling around the. country he's got a swing state schedule. um where he's going around spreading the. message of pro-democracy of normaly of. compassion I think it's really. resonating and he kind of is peing at. the right time we'll talk about all of. that more this is the mightest touch. podcast Brett and Jordy it's great to. see you Brett I know you've been doing a. lot of traveling we last saw you at a. hotel room and Washington DC because as.

we told our viewers your favorite thing. to do is to travel to Washington DC to. watch the State of the Union from a. hotel yeah the move is always you want. to travel to where an event is but then. actually go to the event you cover it. from down the road in your hotel room. that's the way it's supposed to be now I. I I had a great trip in in Washington DC. I just got back sometime in the middle. of the night last night I I I I I was. had an opportunity to visit Jordy hang. with Jordy meet my little nephew which. was the greatest thing of all time.

honestly such an absolute Joy but oh my. gosh was my flight home the biggest. disaster of all with maintenance issues. on the plane and having to deep plane. and just I'm not I won't bore you with. the details but it was a not not not a. fun experience but my trip was a very. successful trip I had such a great time. in Washington DC met with so many. incredible people including and deep. teas over here including with the vice. president of the United States kamla. Harris which was just abs absolutely. incredible and had an opportunity to.

share with her all about the pro. democracy movement here at mest touch. which she was very familiar with and it. was just a great thing you know what I. really want to get into the details on. this but I think I I save it for the. patreon so we could get into the news of. the day because I know we have a lot I. love. it you know if you want to hear the. story of the meeting with vice president. Harris you go to. patreon.com mightest touch sign up there. for one of the tiers we'll tell the.

story on the after show but it was such. an incredible meeting such an incredible. weekend and man Vibe shift or what last. week I think was also like the vibe. shift I think when we look back on this. pivotal election over in November next. year all future years you know looking. back on this moment we will say that. that week was the week where everything. sort of changed in this campaign and so. you know it was really cool to cover. that State of the Union live and to see. see this momentum you know coming off.

that it's it's just awesome we'll get. into all that but Jordy first I want to. check in and see how you're doing B I'm. doing great man it was great to see you. thanks so much for coming that was so. sweet for you to stop on over here. before making your way back to LA sorry. about the fights but baby Elijah loved. seeing you Brett so man just super. stoked that you came through Ben you're. up next man you're up next I'm not going. to tell you you have to come but I'm. gonna say Brett's early lead for. favorite uncle so just throwing it out. there see what you could do I like your. sweatshirt today Ben that's a it's a. great pale orange is that what you're.

wearing today looks good think I think. that's what the color experts would call. it Jay thank you thank you thank you. very much but let me tell you let me. tell you who are not the experts on. watching pretty much anything it's the. kind of media punditry and right-wing. media which has you know portrayed this. narrative for so long which they did in. 2020 also it's just the exact same. Playbook that they're doing again versus. actually looking at the data sleepy Joe.

this and and Joe Biden has dementia he. can't even say any words and it'd be one. thing if like that was true you know. right but like one of the reasons that. we go play the clip play the clip let's. show this let's show this and we don't. just show clips that are like three. seconds like the right-wing media does. if you were to clip me and find three. seconds of something I'm sure you'd be. able to find you know basically anything. but we want to show you over time the. way these speeches look and how they're. being conveyed and President Biden has.

actually always been the President Biden. that we've saw at the State of the Union. like that wasn't like a different fiery. Biden that's like the Biden we saw in. Pueblo Colorado when we met him that's. just because you're not reporting it. doesn't mean that that's not what's. actually happening then you know what. people kind of forget also it's like. President Biden in addition to. campaigning to be the next president is. also the president and has to do the job. of a president so he can't go out there.

the same way that Donald Trump's been. going out there for all this time and. just do these rallies every day and. these Bizarro events he's actually got. to like lead the country and so it's. just such a ridiculous narrative that. both the media and the right has pushed. because yes the guy has been being. president he has to both be president. and he has to campaign for reelection. and so this state of the union was. basically the you know for all intents. and purposes like the kickoff to okay. it's game time let's go game on campaign.

on you think we have you think we got. started we have not gotten started yet. we are just getting started now and just. you wait for what's to come and we're. seeing right now that Donald Trump is. you know he's out there he's bitter he's. angry he's giving all these dark. speeches he's fumbling his words he. can't speak he's defaming his rape. victim he's just just disgusting. everything that's the opposite of. American values is what Donald Trump's. doing and he's really Overexposed. honestly and now you have President. Biden coming out there swinging and I.

think these Republicans and Donald Trump. they're not going to know what hit him. once once you see President Biden out. there like we have like that was such a. momentum shift and it's already already. resonating with the American people the. timing really good to your point I mean. just the sense that Biden isn't. President Biden isn't Overexposed like I. feel like just Trump has like just. beaten even his like loyalist followers. down at this point where they they know. his shtick they know his thumb speech. that he's going to take out there every. single day and it's disgusting right but.

but he's so Overexposed that's the. perfect that's the perfect synopsis of. that being now President Biden's just. gearing up and he's getting going and. also do you want a president or like do. you want like a performer like sometimes. I feel like the media is like perform. for me and Brett you said like just you. wait it reminded me of Alexander. Hamilton it's like okay I want someone. who's going to be getting into the weeds. and the nuance and understands the. issues you know I'm not I don't want. some who's like Alexander Hamilton and.

starts doing like a play out like like I. want someone I want someone who's a. who's a leader and that's what President. Biden's doing and then on the other hand. you've got Donald Trump cosplaying this. like wannabe. WWE Bad Guy character you know that is. just like the person you would boo you. know when you we grew up watching when. it was WWF for me I'm like what in the. world is this so I want to cover what's. what's gone down at this Trump event. over the weekend I mean like you know he.

spends his time. mocking uh people with the disability of. of stuttering and he like then does like. a stuttering thing um and then like the. crowd's laughing it's some real. Despicable stuff but before doing that. let's talk about the breaking news and I. think very very big breaking news a. Monday bombshell if you will of this. former Mara Lago employee let me just. set the stage this is someone who worked. at Mara Lago since 2002 as a seasonal.

valet he ended up basically starting a a. company that would do all of the um. valet services and kind of driving the. guests from maral Lago to the airport. and built kind of a business around that. his name is Brian Butler he was very. close friends with Carlos De Olivera one. of Donald Trump's co-defendants and was. also very close to walte NAA Donald. Trump's bodyman and kind of personal.

assistant another one of Donald Trump's. C- defendants in his position as a. driver Brian Butler also was a witness. to a lot of the people who left maral. Lago for example remember that. Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt who. ended up bragging that Donald Trump had. told him nuclear secrets about Australia. and nuclear submarine arsenals and. things like that Butler was one of the. people who tipped the FBI onto that.

because Pratt was in the car bragging to. Pratt's Chief of Staff about getting the. nuclear material and so Butler told that. to the FBI among other things but back. in June of 2022 Butler got a very odd. call from walte now to one of Donald. Trump's code defendants and it was very. unusual for how Brian Butler normally. would operate walty natto wanted to. personally take these documents and. watch them in Butler car these bankers.

boxes that you see in the indictment. Butler didn't really know like what was. even going on but just found the. encounter to be very very odd obviously. after the indictment Butler put two and. two together and was like oh that's the. day that was the day when the Department. of Justice met with Donald Trump in June. of 2022 June 3 2022 remember when. Christina Bob and Evan corkran and. Trump's lawyers signed the declaration. that they had returned all of the boxes.

to the FBI and doj that day guess what. we now know it was in the indictment but. Butler talks about it that's when wal te. NAA and Trump took the boxes from maral. Lago put it in the truck being driven by. Brian Butler the Escalade drove it to an. an airplane and then loaded in the. airplane to end up going to Bedminster. in New Jersey raises another question. where are those boxes right now of. course um but Brian Butler speaking out.

right now and I think one of the reasons. why Butler is breaking his silence right. now is because of the failure of Judge. Eileen Canon and I think Brian Butler's. looked at the case and he's like look I. need to get my story out Butler was like. one of the biggest trumpers he spent his. whole life around Trump but then he saw. what was happening with our nation. secrets and he's like I can't take this. anymore and by the way I think Butler. would have kept his silence Ence again. but for the fact that Trump's judge.

judge Eileen Canon has delayed this. thing forever doc gets a complete mess. but why don't we show this one short. clip from CNN of Caitlyn Collins. exclusive with Brian Butler hat tip by. the way Caitlyn Collins for getting this. exclusive play this clip and then what. happened is Walt left before me and he. never goes directly to the plane he's. either in the. motorcade when he goes there with the. boss which the former president and I. remember telling him he left the club.

with I I didn't know what he had in his. vehicle but he waited for me at a nearby. business and I told him I would tell him. when I was leaving Mara Lago so I left. Mara Lago I texted him hey I'm on my way. he followed me he pulled out and got. behind me we got to the airport I ended. up loading all the luggage I had and he. had a bunch of boxes you noticed that he. had boxes oh yeah they were the boxes. that were in the indictment the white. Banker boxes. that's what I remember loading and did.

you have any time any idea at the time. that there was potentially US National. Security secrets in those boxes no clue. no I had no clue I mean we were just. taking them out of the Escalade piling. them up I remember they were all stacked. on top of each other and then we're. lifting them up to the pilots how many. boxes was it you know they asked me in. in the interview and I I believe it was. I 10 to 15 is what I remember I know. being the investigators correct.

wow wow wow Brett Jordy your reaction to. that I thought it was important that I. gave the framework though before playing. that clip of like who he is fact that he. was there for all of that. time his perspective right here is just. so powerful and it just goes to show you. the lengths of and the Criminal Intent. that issue before throwing it to you br. Jordy on this one more thing I I want to. say here so Trump's argument before. judge Eileen Canon there's going to be a.

hearing on March 14th she actually found. this issue has enough Merit where she. wants to hear do a hearing on it and she. also accepted Amicus brief from stevenh. Miller's group like America Legal. Foundation or whatever they're called. that's the group that files all of those. lawsuits against corporations for. discriminating against white males they. filed a brief to this effect on the. Trump's argument is not that he didn't. do it not only is his argument that he.

telepathically Declassified these. documents which is one thing in and of. itself his claim is that our nuclear. secrets our National Defense. information actually belongs to him. personally that they're not presidential. records that they belong to him he says. that when he packed this information put. it in boxes and then shift and shipped. it to maral Lago that converted the. property from belonging to we the people. to Trump personally so that it's.

actually his and that there is no. criminal implications all you could do. is file a civil case to try to get it. back and I just want to say this and I I. said this in another hot take that's the. equivalent of somebody robbing your. house and then taking I mean if you're. we the people robbing your house and. then saying it's mine now because I put. it in my car and then you the victim of. the robbery this is to the Trump.

supporters out there basically saying. yeah it's his he put it in the car now. so it it it belongs it belongs to him. that's how you know you're in a cult. this shouldn't be a political issue this. is We the People our nuclear secrets our. codes our sensitive information our. National Defense information it doesn't. belong to President Biden didn't belong. to Obama it doesn't belong to Donald. Trump to Ronald R it doesn't belong to. any of them it is a sick argument that. he's making we've heard the you know.

phrase growing up remember Finders. Keepers Finders Keepers losers weepers. well Trump's argument in court seems to. be Steelers Keepers that he could steal. whatever he wants and then it's just his. and it's his property and you're right. Ben it's it's fundamentally. anti-American and this is truly my. biggest issue with the modern-day. Republican party and this Maga movement. that has so infected this Republican. party because it used to we used to have. a common set of American values right.

and I think this is one of the defining. issues of this election this notion of. American values what do we stand for as. a country and who is this nation for and. what we are seeing is that this modern. day Republican party has been co-opted. by this faction that says America stands. for Donald Trump it doesn't stand for. the values that we've had for hundreds. of years it doesn't stand for the. Constitution it doesn't stand for the. rule of law it stands for whatever is in. the benefit of Donald Trump and that's.

my biggest issue like honestly Beyond. any single policy you could throw at me. behind Beyond any policy debate Beyond. any disagreement I may have with. somebody on the other side of the aisle. you know that is my biggest my my. biggest thing and just the lies and the. doubling down on the lies then the. gaslighting to try to act like you're in. the wrong for defending American values. and that Trump is actually the right one. here the whole thing is just flipped on.

its head and it's incredibly disturbing. that we now have as one of the major. political parties a cult a a a it's a. cult and that's no better embodied than. by the fact that they just made Lara. Trump the co-chair of the Republican. Party the Trump takeover of this. political party is absolutely complete. and we're already seeing the. ramifications of that they are doing. Mass firings right now at the RNC we. learning where the Trump team is. expected to push out about 60 or more of.

the staffers because they only want. loyalists in there they are installing. somebody to watch the money uh and we. know how that's going to work out when. they're watching the money for Donald. Trump that comes into the RNC and so. Donald Trump's goal with all of these. cases is never to say I'm innocent I. didn't do it it's kind of acknowledging. like yes I did it but I'm allowed to do. it but by using this kind of perverse. ideology these bizarre arguments and. then just trying to postpone And Delay.

as much as possible just like you. brought up the Manhattan da case which. we'll get into more but it's all about. it's not about the merits of what he's. doing and oh let's look into like the. legal uh the the scholarly legal. arguments that they're making it's all. just designed to push the ball down the. road Kick the Can down the road and to. make it so this last so he could. hopefully catch a break in November but. we're not going to let that happen well. look you talk about what's Donald Trump. filing before judge Eileen canon in the.

maral Lago document case the case where. we see employee number five who's Brian. Butler saying I worked Trump for 20. years this isn't a Witch Hunt I saw I. saw Trump do it I was there everybody I. saw it happened so Trump's filing in. that case well we can't go to trial. judge Canon you need to delay everything. I'm about to start the Manhattan. district attorney case that case starts. on March 25th so you got to slow this.

down we're getting ready for that trial. what does he file in the Manhattan. district attorney case I'm entitled to. Absolute presidential immunity in this. case look the Supreme Court granted. cersi aori in the Washington DC uh. criminal case so the federal case there. so you should basically say that I'm. entitled to Absolute immunity and. adjourn the trial date there you know. when I saw the Supreme Court Grant cers. shiori on the issue of absolute. presidential immunity a few weeks back. I texted our group of employees who work.

at legal AF and I said let me tell you. what he's going to do he's going to make. that argument in the Manhattan district. attorney case and a lot of people said. on what grounds what are you talking. about I said it doesn't matter what. grounds he's going to make the argument. I didn't do a hot take on it because I. didn't want to be accused later of. giving him guidance on what to do but I. knew he was going to do it anyway. because I study his moves the way we do. so we have that text message with I'm. not going to pull up there but his.

argument you could confirm it we you. know but in the Manhattan district. attorney criminal case his argument for. why he claims he should have absolute. presidential immunity is sure the hush. money payments the stormmy Daniels the. underlying conduct occurred before Trump. was in office right but the coverup that. he tried to do which is some of the. checks that he tried to funnel as legal. expenses um some post that he on social.

media where he lied about what was. happening and what Michael Cohen's role. was right that those the cover up gives. him the immunity for the crime itself. and so the example I give is you rob the. bank you go into office you start. talking about the bank robbery that you. did before you were in office and then. you claim you're immune from prosecution. from the bank robbery because you tried. to cover it up while you were in office.

that's his argument now he also tried to. make an argument like this in federal. court. before a federal judge in New York. remember when he tried to remove that. Manhattan district attorney case to. federal court and then the judge. rejected that and Trump basically would. seem to have waved and the judge made. the AR you know said the order Trump. waved the claim of absolute presidential. immunity uh there but what I think Trump. is just trying to set up right now is.

he's going to go to the Supreme Court. he's gonna get rejected by judge Juan. Maran the the trial court judge is gonna. reject it I think Trump will try to get. emergency stays and deadlines from the. appell division you know who knows what. they're going to do there they should. reject it but his plan is going to be. he's going to go to the Supreme Court. and he's going to say look you've got. this April 25th oral argument in the. Washington DC case so what you should do.

is shut down this March case until you. rule on the until you rule then on the. Washington DC case shut down the. Manhattan da case and and then. interesting part about it is it will go. through the federal court so he'll have. to make an emergency pres petition to. Justice Soto myor um and the the way the. Supreme Court has been dealing with. these kind of controversial issues in. general is the Justice will then submit. it to the full court for consideration.

and usually Grant a short temporary stay. we'll see what Justice Soto mayor does. but I can see people getting upset and. say oh my God that's a Obama appointee. and she just made a move but that's what. they're doing on all of these cases for. across the country for a short period of. time and then it'll get referred to the. full Supreme Court and then the question. becomes is does he find those four. justices who will Grant a stay of the. case because that's what he's I want to.

prepare you what he's positioning for. now we talk a lot about legal cases and. ultimately I think all of this stuff's. going to backfire for Trump because we. the people are getting absolutely pissed. right we the people are getting so. annoyed at all of this and everything. that's going on here and then I think. it's gonna have an opposite reaction. than what he ultimately wants um that's. why I want to talk about what's. happening in the. various um you know on these campaign.

speeches and whatnot but for now that's. the update in Manhattan da let's take a. quick break when we come back we've got. a lot to talk about let's take our first. quick break of the show running mest. touch takes up just about all of my time. like seriously most of it that's why. when I needed a workout that was. convenient and effective total gym. turned out to be a total GameChanger do. you want a total body workout in just 10. to 20 minutes well you need to try total. gym right now you could try Total Gym. for 30 days for just $1 plus free. shipping seriously $1 the Total Gym Fit.

guys I I love those too and yeah. literally I use both products every day. it's the best check them out love it so. with literally hours remaining Donald. Trump posted the. 91.6 million bond in the egene Carol. Case although alen Haba told us how rich. Donald Trump is and it would be very. easy for him to just post the bond. himself he had to use a sh and he used a. company called Federal insurance which. is known as chub and more kind of common.

it's common doing business as name and. uh you know what was interesting too. when you read the fine print of the uh. surity agreement Trump he tried to pull. like a fast one last minute too and. basically they would have had 60 days. after the uh second Circuit Court of. Appeals ultimately I think when they. affirm the Judgment um they would have. like a 60-day period before paying. um and eege Carol over the weekend.

negotiated that to make it 30 days after. Donald Trump loses the appeal for that. money to be immediately transferred into. egene Carol's account the way these. bonds work is you usually have to pay a. nonrefundable premium that's about 10 to. 20% of what the overall amount is so. anywhere from probably 10 to15 million. that Trump will never see back um in. order to be able to post this Bond. ultimately Trump would be on the hook. for the full amount based on his.

agreement with the shity who's posting. the bond but in the event Trump doesn't. pay there's now a deep pocket insurance. company that's that's able to pay and I. I've read a lot of different kind of. stories and accounts of oh this money. came from Russia or this is clearly kind. of Vladimir Putin's money and you know. look based on my initial analysis um you. know the way it's been posted in this. federal court I don't know if there are.

other imaginations outside of this that. are more complex I I don't I haven't. personally seen any evidence of of that. here you know it's it's a company that. has a long-standing history of being. involved in a business like this you. know I think it raises some questions. why they did this specifically um you. know here and and but I I'll just say. it's it seems to be a company that posts. bonds like this that's what that's one.

of the business lines that they do so. now the question turns to the New York. attorney general civil fraud judgment. and there Trump would have to pay a. non-refundable premium of somewhere in. the range of40 to 50 million to secure. the shity bond. of $464 million with pre- and. post-judgment interest so the question. is is that something that he was able to.

work out with them as well we don't we. don't know that yet but you know I also. think it just shows you with eene. Carroll and Roberta Kaplan like with. Donald Trump he's gonna do every tactic. of a sociopath he's gonna beg the judge. he's gonna say that you're okay with him. not paying he'll throw every tactic the. same way he did to try to overthrow the. result of the 2020 election it doesn't. matter logical consistency doesn't. matter he'll throw every roadblock but. you got to Corner him like the rat that.

he is and then you got to just kind of. push and push and push and he gives up. he gives up he's a weak loser who has. bankrupted everything he's touched. almost everything he's touched his. entire life when you go through through. some of these disclosures that he has to. file you know like when he's doing the. spack and things like that it lists so. many bankruptcies and so many failed. businesses like over and over again he's. not a builder he's a destroyer and.

frankly he's a loser as well and so you. just. gota and this is frankly why I like the. pro-democracy community's approach to. him and why I'm so disgusted by what the. Republican part's become the Republican. part's like yeah whatever just do what. you want to do to us and the. pro-democracy community is like screw. that why would we give into this loser. like no what are you talking about and. that's like the big one of spread to. your point just one of the big. disconnects that's not even a political. thing it's just like do you have any.

pride in yourself kind of thing you know. yeah I mean if they had any monom of. self-respect they would be pushing back. every day and Donald Trump never would. have taken over the Republican party if. they had any bit of self-respect but the. fact is once he started winning they all. just basically kind of folded and and. and got behind him and decided okay I. guess we're just going to like bow down. to this cult leader now I guess we're a. cult now that that that's it and then. even the people who you know know that. all Bs who know that he's an idiot who. talks so much crap behind his back.

publicly go out there and say just the. most embarrassing humiliating things but. there are real world consequences to. their action and they are walking this. country right off of a cliff in their. actions what they're doing let me do and. then BR let me just say this real quick. it just allows you then if you're the. Republican party to open up the. floodgates and and let his family like. then like get his teeth into you and. then infect you with everything dumb. Trump like the fact that lar Trump is.

the co-chair in the RNC I know he. mentioned it earlier but it is utterly. ridiculous and we can highlight enough. now that there is a report that about 60. RNC employees are are going to be gone. move the side so Lara Trump could bring. in her I don't know yes people around. them so they could keep an eye on the. money I mean it's utterly ridiculous how. far this party is fallen and honestly. regardless of how the 2024 election shap. out I don't see it ever getting any. better under this current Republican.

party you know regime in the sense that. they all have this mindset right now. that it doesn't matter you know. democracy doesn't matter to them at the. end of the day the only thing that. matters to them is continuing to win. their you know primary elections winning. their elections you know in- house they. don't want to actually lead as long as. the Republican party at large can. continue on an individual basis to earn. money off of their elected seats then. they don't care then they don't want to. fix it because this Republican party. does not care about democracy it's.

bizarre yeah they pushed out any. talented people they've promoted all of. these Maga people who have these like. horrific views who many of them are even. like just as bad and weirder versions of. trump if that's even possible some of. them are literally murderers like in the. past week we saw we saw like what one. guy who was a trump endorsed person. running for congress who was arrested. for murder murder um and then there was. and then I saw yesterday there was. somebody else who I don't think was.

running for congress I could get the. exact details but it was somebody who. had a lot of influence in one of these. State Republican parties or something. who was also arrested for murder and so. like I mean that's what we're dealing. with here it's it's an extremist. movement and they're playing to the most. extreme forces within that extremist. movement and so that's what you're G to. get yeah you know you remember when they. did the uh Colorado fourth congressional. district and they had that uh debate. where Lauren bobbert was there with all. the other people and the moderator said.

you know raise your hand if you've been. arrested before and I think everybody. but one person like raised uh they all. raised their hands and they'd all been. arrested and they all like laughed at. that and thought that was hilarious that. they that they've all been arrested but. then again you know when you idolize. someone like Donald Trump who gives. these speeches that so low that so. lowers any type of you know morality at. all like that's that's like when you're. like who are these people in the. audience laughing at this and liking.

they're horrible people I don't know. what to say if you laugh at somebody an. adult who is mocking people for the. disability of stuttering and then doing. an impression of somebody stuttering and. you clap for that there's something. seriously wrong you're unwell you're. you're you're not you're not you're. unwell you're not acting and behaving. like an adult you have horrific. character that's not how we should just. be acting and like we'll show you some. clips in a bit of President Biden saying.

like I can't believe I even have to say. this like you have these Trump. supporters who are bringing their kids. to events with signs that say FU on them. and have all these curse words like like. that's not acceptable in our in our. country let's just start off with. Trump's speech in Georgia Rome in Rome. Georgia Trump began the speech over the. weekend mocking President Biden for. stuttering here play this clip two. nights ago we heard crooked Joe's angry. dark hate fil rant of a State of the.

Union Address wasn't it didn't it bring. us together remember said I'm going to. bring the country to to to to together. I'm going to bring it I mean and the. fact that people would laugh at that is. just so utterly and for context margorie. Taylor's green district is is Rome. Georgia which I think is helpful if you. think about who who's in that crowd. right now it's the people who are voting. for margorie Taylor green and that that. Clips the perfect example of the Trump. projection right speaking about the. darkness of the Biden State of the Union.

speech trying to tear us apart as he is. on a rant mocking somebody for their. stutter and getting the audience to. laugh at this person like like President. Biden's speech was optimistic it was. about possibilities it was about. progress it was about who we are as. Americans and every single one of Donald. Trump speeches are are about how. horrible America is they're about how. you know just towards everybody he's. confused he plays qanon music he.

highlights the January 6. insurrectionists and song Seas things. with them it's that is the darkness the. Trump the entire Trump brand now I think. is one of of criminality and. darkness yeah and that's and and it's. just right out there like that's why you. know if if you watch some of the weekend. shows based on the way the media. portrays the story it's kind of like the. lesser of two evils is the way the media. tries to portray this and it's like I. think little by little and we we the.

people need to push the media as well. and we need to call them out we need to. be so loud about their behavior as well. and hold them accountable because it's. like what are you talking about I mean. you've got Trump mocking people for. stuttering you've got Trump saying that. Ukraine in Russia wouldn't be fighting. if he was in office because he knows. potin he calls Putin potin I know potin. well here play this clip when Trump was. when Trump was President there were none.

of these problems Israel wouldn't have. been. attacked Ukraine and Russia wouldn't be. fighting I knew potin I know him very. well he was no way he was going. in and again I know potin very well and. just like even the fact the way he talks. about himself Trump like that's weird. like that's very bizarre like every. aspect of this is beyond weird including. his I I I know potent very well and here. one of the things that Trump says as.

well as he continued to glitch he says. that he was a political appointee of. President Biden here play this clip. that's why they are weaponizing law. enforcement for high level election. interference against Joe Biden's top and. only political appointment a guy named. me it's a guy named. me a guy named me a political. appointment what are you talking about. then Donald Trump appeared confused. while claiming that pundits are saying.

that there will be violent attacks on. him here play this clip. pundits and inside sources say that the. attacks on me will be violent they say. that it's violent uh the attacks Biden. said it he said you know what their. whole plan is it was just released the. other day no it didn't it was. leaked that's kind of the speech that he. gives and as I said like if it wasn't. Donald Trump I I would feel bad for the. person saying that because he's just up.

there as I said he's not speaking in. sentences like he's he's just. saying magam mush of words together and. doing accordi in hands and it's just. really strange to watch here's him. glitching while claiming that maral Lago. was raided play this clip they raided my. house in Florida marago they raided with. no ra they had no reason to. and do so they violate and then again. what and then who talks like that like.

again like shut up like as I've said as. we show you more of these clips it's. like if someone like this worked at a. company you were affiliated with large. small big mediumsized a nonprofit a. social Gathering a group of people you. play cards with your fantasy football. league if somebody was behaving like. this I truly hope that you would kick. them out and and and instead the. Republicans want to give this person the. nuclear codes he can't even stand there.

and behave in a in a normal you want to. give that guy the nuclear codes I mean. here he struggles to say the word. compliments play this. clip all complement of an incompetent. that's the part where he plays the Q. andon music as well while people hold up. the Q andon symbols in the crowd he made. the same face there that he did when he. did the last one when he went. ah he did the same sort of like his face.

scrunches up like you know in pain and. Agony kind of almost when he glitches. like that if you notice it's been. happening a lot lately no I'm sorry. continue here he talks about being a. crumb of a Nation here play this clip. crime ridden Nation we have become a. nation like nobody thought possible and. here he talks about why he thinks. Suburban women support him he says that. he's the protector of women he says says. that he protects women here play this. clip and then so what happened is he has.

made that horrible question about women. women love me you know I protect women I. protected I. protect he then goes on to defame the. woman he was adjudicated to have raped. EEG Carol he spends his time at his. campaign. speech mocking and defaming a woman who. he was found liable for raping play this. clip sometimes it's not good to be. rich I just posted a.

91 million Bond 91 million on a fake. story totally madeup. story think of it 91. million I could say things about what it. would cost normally 91 million based on. false accusations made about me by a. woman that I knew nothing about didn't. know never heard of I know nothing about. her she wrote a book she said said. things and when I denied it I said it's. so crazy it's false I got sued for.

defamation that's where it. starts notice there too obviously what. he said is horrific but he goes I know. what it would cost to pay normally did. you notice that he said that in there. was he talking about the payoffs that he. has to make to people like stormmy. Daniels for. $150,000 or Karen McDougall for around. the same range was he saying that he. kind of previously had created a market. to pay off victims or to make hush money. payments and he thinks that that market.

for grabbing women by their genitals. which he brags about on tape is actually. less than when he's adjudicated to have. engaged in sexual assault by a jury and. he knows he's the market maker for the. amount of money you have to pay when you. sexually assault people he he he knows. better than and he's speaking about this. let's not forget at a campaign rally. where you're supposed to talk about. things like improving wages and. protecting veterans and our national.

security I mean it's it's horrific. horrific stuff then he went on cnbc's. Squawk Box and talked about how he's not. conservative here play this clip we're. gonna turn our country around we're. going to bring sense and and common. sense you know people say you're. conservative I'm not conservative you. know what I am I'm a man of common sense. says I'm not conserv we know you're not. a conservative at all that's why by the. way. we here at Midas Touch for years and now. others are catching on we said do not.

call the Republican Party conservative. they're not conserving there's nothing. conservative about him here Trump says. he'll cut Social Security and Medicare. play this clip you changed your your. outlook on how to handle entitlement. Social Security Medicare Medicaid Mr. President it seems like it it something. has to be done or else we're going to be. at stuck at 120% of of debt to GDP. forever. so first of all there is a lot you can. do in terms of entitlements in terms of.

cutting first off the CNBC questioner is. a total clown he's had Pete Budaj on. he's had other people on and he tries to. grill them and cross-examine him what. you should ask if you're asking. questions like that is you Donald Trump. added n trillion of that debt you're the. one responsible for that so arsonist. tell me how what your plan is for your. fire and by the way if Trump does a.

debate which I don't think he'll. actually end up doing and I think he's. positioning right now and again I think. that we get really into his pathology. he's positioning now to ask Biden to. debate now before the debates take place. because Trump knows each passing day he. gets more cognitively worse and worse. and worse so his whole thing is he's. gonna go well I said I would debate back. in January or February and now now I. don't want to debate later he will not. be able to answer actual serious.

questions on serious issues at all if. he's asked real questions and finally on. again this squawkbox interview this is. from NBC right so this is you know you. hope that the that this network is you. know you know moderate and honest and. whatever which they are absolutely not. they're just fueling Trump propaganda. but he manages to take these softballs. and turn it into a way to defame his. rape victim like he's getting these.

softballs and then he defames EEG Carol. again here playing this clip if I didn't. win on Appeal on these ridiculous. decisions if I didn't win on appeal the. most ridiculous decisions including the. Miss Bergdorf Goodman a person I never I. never met I have no idea who she is. except one thing I got sued from that. point on I said wow that's crazy what. this says I got charged I was given a. false accusation and had a post a $91.

million Bond on a false accusation. people aren't moving into New York. because of the kind of crap they're. pulling on me and I'm like I feel like. I'm a. Pioneer I feel like I'm a Pioneer for. having to post a bond for defaming your. rape victim and being found to be an. adjudicated sexual assaulter and again. this is why when CNBC does something. like that they're talking about the. financial.

markets frankly CNBC if that's how you. behave you have zero credibility you. should it's malpractice for you to talk. about business because if someone makes. a statement that people are leaving. Manhattan right now because of rape. judgments against them and defamation. judgments and you as the reporter are. unable to Simply say yeah that's not. true the data is incorrect and you go. yeah okay well then then who are you.

like what a pathetic pathetic interview. one point to make though the ultimate. irony there though is that by Trump. making the defamatory statement on CNBC. that way where the host is based in New. York Trump's conduct is directed at the. state of New York which means that even. if his Rome Georgia statement that we. played before egene Carol would have to. have sued in Georgia the fact that Trump. now has another defamatory act close in. time in New York means that Trump could.

file this I mean that EEG Carol could. file this defamation case against Trump. in New York in Manhattan federal court. it would get related judge Lewis Kaplan. who's already found him. liable it would be automatic liability. and it would go before the jury but. Brett I want you to talk about President. Biden I want you to give the contrast. there um and I want you to talk about as. well some economic news some new news. about energy that I want to highlight as. well um and I want to talk about what I. see is is real tangible momentum let's.

Brett I kind of deliver the dark Donald. Trump speech and then I toss it to you. for the uh you know for the hope but the. reality is I think President Biden's got. a lot of momentum right now kind of.

peing at the right time I don't even. think kind of peaked yet we talked about. it like I call it peing at the right. time I'd say he's he's he's Rising now. at the right time he's taken his time. and now it's go time and now he's going. to go so he'll Peak at the right time. which will be towards the election. rather than the way Donald Trump's been. doing it which is just let's just throw. everything to the wall at once and. that's how you burn out that's why he's. broke in addition to a lot of other. reasons that's why the RNC is broke in. addition to a lot of other reasons.

there's no strategy happening right th. on that side and there are a lot of very. smart people with the Biden campaign and. you know after the State of the Union. I'm still like DED by that State of the. Union I thought the State of the Union. Address was absolutely incredible I. thought that ad that President Biden. released the day after the State of the. Union was an incredible ad where he took. the age issue head on and was fun and. and made a direct comparison and. contrast with Donald Trump and I started. thinking about that famous Martin Luther.

King quote right Darkness cannot drive. out Darkness only light can do that hate. cannot drive out hate only love can do. that and we've been so mired in the. darkness that I think when you have. these moments like President Biden at. the State of the Union speaking so. passionately and so optimistically about. who we are as the United States of. America was it just me or does everybody. else feel small like does every do all. the magas does Donald Trump does all.

that stuff they just appear so minuscule. right so diminished because that's. powerful right it's powerful to be. empowered it's powerful to hear that. optimism and to have it resonate and to. go you know what that's right we are the. United States of America damn it that's. our that is who we are so stop with the. darkness stop trying to divide us stop. with this Maga BS stop with the. gaslighting we are the United States of. America and I think that's going to be.

the contrast we see this entire campaign. as we see Biden now he's hitting like a. bunch of Swing States this month really. ramping it up following the State of the. Union this week alone he's going to be. in New Hampshire Wisconsin Michigan and. he's speaking optimistically about the. American experiment right he's not. playing weird Q andon music and speaking. about how we're a nation in Decline. we're a failing Nation we're the worst. nation in the world that's what Donald. Trump does no President Biden speaks. optimistically about our country what we.

need to do better and he has a positive. vision for the future and he summed it. up well you know in a speech over the. weekend I think this one was an Atlanta. when he was saying you know what this. Donald Trump guy and I we have we have a. bit of a different value set as I think. you know Trump and I have a very. different value set of an denious. already mine is based on core values of. the defined. America and the rest of the world looks. at us that way decency honesty fairness.

equality but we all know Donald Trump. sees a different America an American. story of resentment revenge and. retribution that's not me that's not. you selection is so much more than about. these individuals right it's so much. more than just being about Joe Biden or. Donald Trump it's about who are we as. Americans. who who is this country going to be for. in the future and what are the values. that we're fighting for and do we want.

to be this dark Russian style autocracy. do we want to look more like Hungary or. do we want to look like a modern liberal. democracy and I don't mean that liberal. the way that it's used in the political. context but I mean a liberal thriving. democracy that that appreciates freedom. and liberty uh President Biden went into. some of his policies and and his views. on how he could decrease housing costs. and he said you know what we got to do. we got to build build build for those. seeking to buy their first home or trade.

up for a little more space I propose the. tax cut will provide $400 a month for. the next two years because every. family every family deserves a place to. call home and a place to have your. American Dreams Come True look millions. of renters are also out there in trouble. we're also cracking down those landlords. who break the anti tric laws by price. fixing those. rents landlords should be competing to.

give folks the best deal not conspiring. to charge them higher. rent we also cut red tape so more. Builders can get Federal Finance which. is already helping construct a record. 1.7 million new housing units Nationwide. because of. you and the federal budget that I'm. releasing today has a plan for 2 million. more affordable homes including housing. housing Innovation fund to help.

communities like yours build housing. renovate housing and convert empty. office space and hotels into housing. housing for renters for owners middle. class families and folks folks. struggling just to get by look and we we. realize many of you are dealing with. homeless encampments in your cities and. towns well we're providing $8 billion to. allow you to provide Al alternatives to. move unhoused people off the street. getting them into. home the bottom line we have to build.

build build that's how we bring housing. cost down for. good it's always like it's such Whiplash. to hear somebody actually just speaking. about like detailed policy ideas on on. how to actually fix things and one one. of the things I like that President. Biden also does is you know we spoke. about how weird it was that Donald Trump. always goes and then Trump did this. Trump did that you never hear Biden do. that in fact you know you never hear. Biden go and then Biden went this and.

then Biden says that that would be you'd. be like what is this guy's talking about. but additionally Biden's the president. he's always like and you did that you. know you're the one who made this. possible he always puts it back on the. American people you know this is. inclusive this is about all of us uh one. moment in one of these speeches uh over. the past few days President Biden was. speaking about Donald Trump inviting. Victor Orban the Arian autocrat to his. maral Lago Resort here's what President. Biden had to say it can tell you a lot.

about a person who he keeps company. with and yesterday he was hosting at his. Club Victor. orbon who says he doesn't think. democracy Works call him a fantastic. leader. seriously he's been sucking up to win. anyway at at Mara Lago this is a quote. from Donald Trump there he said there's. nobody that's better smarter or a better. leader than Victor Orban this is the way.

it's going to be and that's the end of. it he's the boss was a direct quote from. Donald Trump at maral Lago as he was. honoring him there and then he had like. singers perform for Victor or the whole. thing is is straight out of one of these. Bizarro dictatorships then Victor Orban. made like a campaign video for Donald. Trump Donald Trump told Orban that he's. not going to give a single penny to. Ukraine if he is President then even it. got to a point where Russia Today Was. even celebrating Victor orban's return.

from marago saying that Trump told him. about all the stuff that he's going to. do to screw over Ukraine and not give a. penny to Ukraine this is a direct quote. from Russian State TV today this. revealed a secret way Trump is planning. to end the war in 24 hours this scheme. suits us well that's a quote from. Russian State TV but okay so that's. Russia though like imagine if President. Bill Clinton was praising Slobodan. mosovich like and Clinton was like you.

know who is the most respected leader. out there Slobodan mosovich like that's. actually what this you know I mean. orban's like one degree adjacent to like. a mosovich type of figure and we would. think about that time whoa could you. imagine in the mid 1990s if you had Bob. Dole running on you know what I'm a. mosovich guy you know and and or you. know or or or you go George W bush and.

John kery or George W bush Al Gore how. about George W bush Al Gore and George W. Bush was like you know who we need to. become allied with Slobodan mosovich and. Kim Jang and I think that time it was. Kim Jong eel Kim Jong ill at that time. and you'd be like okay what that's the. Republican party today folks for you. that's the Republican party sorry bro. anyway back in normal land we heard uh. Donald Trump earlier on that squawkbox.

clip say that he is going to cut Social. Security and Medicare and so almost. immediately after President Biden issued. a response during one of his events many. my Republican friends want to put Social. Security Medicare back on the chalking. block block again if anyone tries to cut. Social Security Medicare or raise. retirement age again I will stop them. work working people built this country. they pay more into Social Security than. Millionaires and billionaires do it's. not fair folks we have two ways to go at.

Social Security Medicare Republicans. will cut Social Security and Medicare to. give us more tax cuts for the wealthy. even this morning Donald Trump said cuts. the Social Security Medicare are on the. table again and Ben here was the clip. that you were referencing earlier where. where President Biden calls out just. this corrosive Maga culture that they. have and how there are kids who are. being influenced by this disgusting. behavior and just listen to the story. that President Biden tells because the. soul of the country is who we.

are look you know did you ever think. those of you are over 40 did you ever. think we'd be in a. situation where we talk to each other. like we talk these days why you see. things that we see that no matter how. tense things were and they're really. tough in other parts of our history. where you ride down the street and. there's a Trump Banner with a Fu on it. and a little and a six-year-old kid. putting up his middle.

finger did you ever say no I'm serious. did you ever think you'd hear people. talk the way they do look it the means. It Dem means who we are that's not who. America that's not. America those. between th look those of us who want to. pull America back at the past and those. who want to move it into the future my. life time has taught me to embrace the. future I mean sincerely Freedom. democracy a future based on the core.

values that have defined America honesty. decency fairness equality just treating. people just fairly no I really mean it. we don't always live up but that that. that's the American. creed you know I I think it's important. that this is President Biden's kind of. his main message right it's about. American values and American democracy. and makes me think I you know I saw a. lot of like bad faith pundits kind of. saying that speech at the State of the. Union felt awfully lot like a campaign.

speech and not like a traditional State. of the Union speech but honestly it's. not and I'll tell you why it may have. felt that way to people may have felt. that way to people because the whole. Maga ideology is against everything the. United States stands for it's against. our core values right and so when you. have a president up there and he is. speaking out in defense of democracy in. defense of funding Ukraine in defense of. the middle class in defense of you know.

lifting people up out a poverty when. you're speak when you're speaking to. fundamental American ideology. fundamental fundamental core American. values it feels like an attack on the. Republican party and you know what they. say a hit dog may holler so when you. hear President Biden speak in defense of. democracy and then you go hear. Republicans go how dare you attack us. that's what you call a tell right and. that was President Biden's whole speech. his whole speech was just a.

fundamentally American speech that in. the past would be a uniting speech that. everybody could get behind right there. may have be some policy differences. thrown in the mix of course but those. big ideas that President Biden was. pushing that Republicans were so. incredibly offended by are just him say. speaking highly about the American. experiment and there's this just this. just corrosive right now in this magga. culture we speak about this mag sorry go. on Ben then I'll I was gonna say so one. of the things that the Maga Republicans.

in the House of Representatives had as. their plan was that they were not going. to clap at anything normally there's. some bipartisanship at the State of the. Union but here the Maga Republicans were. like there's nothing we're going to clap. or stand up for and then you saw on the. weekend shows they tried to use that as. one of the reasons that they didn't like. the speech you see even the Republicans. didn't stand up at any point in time. it's like okay three years old like what. is no offense to threeyear olds but the. way President Biden kind of counted it.

truly playing three-dimensional chess. was he just spoke to enduring values. mean President we need to be good and. decent people and we need to inspire. future Generations the Democrats Clap. the Republicans shaking their heads are. like how dare you say that about me I'm. there I didn't say anything about you I. just was speaking about America here but. you know I I want to talk about this. corrosive magga culture because while. you have President Biden giving this. message of optimism here are what like. the Republicans are doing right this is.

an official uh Kansas City uh Kansas. Republican party hosted fundraiser and. I'll play the video I'll describe it for. the listeners out there but you see here. this is an event where they feature it's. featuring Ted nent who himself is an. accused child molester and the whole. idea of this event is that attendees. could donate to assault a eff an effigy. an effigy of President Biden they are. assaulting like a a doll of President. Biden they're kicking him they're. they're punching him they're hitting him.

with with polls he's wearing a this he's. wearing a let's go Brandon shirt like. this is really sick stuff that people. are taking their kids to and it's just. it's so out of step with the America I. know and it's so out of step with. American culture and what I you know. it's something I've realized for a long. time but what I really kind of realized. especially yesterday when the Oscars. were on and you just see the endless. stream of Republicans whining about the. Oscars you know and then there's that. hilarious Jimmy Kimmel moment at the end.

because Trump was making you know trying. to hate on Jimmy Kimmel during the. Oscars and never make fun of a a a. skilled comedian when he's on stage in. front of millions and millions of people. what are you doing Jimmy Kimel. completely just destroy Donald Trump in. one of the best moments I think but I. what I realized is you know if you look. at from the Oscars to things like the. Super Bowl to just the in general to the. NBA to Bud Light to you know all these. things that do Sue like I could name all.

these various things and what I kind of. came around to realizing is that. Republicans hate American culture they. they they hate modern American culture. and I think they hate modern American. culture because they feel like the. culture has left them behind because the. culture has embraced all of America. right and so they have this Nostalgia. some of it not even like an accurate. Nostalgia about this culture of like the. 1950s right and this whole anti-woke.

movement all that stuff it's truly just. an anti- it's anti-modern American. culture because while it doesn't always. get it right our culture has become so. much more inclusive and has become for. all people and these people who are. fundamentally a lot of them just just. complete racists or white nationalists. Nazi like whatever you want to call them. right they're uncomfortable by it. because of that so they call it woke. right they try to push it out and it. just when it comes down to it they.

really don't like America so what do. they do right they create their own Maga. culture and what do they do in their. Maga culture they go to these weird. rallies they go to the Border they sell. each other these weird T-shirts they. beat up these things of Joe Biden like. this is what this Maga culture has. become this is their version of culture. in this country which is is so far apart. from American culture you know in in in. in my opinion and I I think that you. would agree uh with that and you know I.

think that's at the heart of it I saw. Elon Musk respond to a post you know. somebody one of these people on on X. posted something like at the end of the. Oscars yesterday oh Best Director white. man best actor white man screenwriter. white man and Elon musk's comment was. something to the effect of oh so I I I. guess the Oscars weren't so woke this. year after all I I mean you just kind of. gave away what you mean by woke huh like. like and and you play it into my entire. thesis of of what the issue is here you.

hate that America has become more. inclusive and that's why you're so angry. that's why you're so livid because you. think that you can't succeed in a world. where people who look like you are. succeeding and that is fundamentally the. problem and we can't give those people. any air right we we cannot let them. because that's not what America is all. about in 2024 it's it simply isn't and. while you have President Biden giving. all these inclusive speeches I want to. get some quick economic data shortly. real quick real quick what real quick.

Brett just that Boll of the Trump. supporters beating up on the Biden doll. it's a bit poetic in the sense that the. doll the Biden doll comes out on top. like these for for Alphas right they're. not they're not doing a great job. beating this this guy falls like this. guy just lost to Boom. gone it's a great observation J it's. it's very poetic of just of the magga. mentality and that's the best analysis. ever that might be the best analysis. ever you could beat him down you could.

throw whatever you want at the guy but. guess what he still. stands your your negative momentum your. negativity will only knock you down like. this guy right here ready boom bring you. it's it's such a good call while you. have President Biden you know I think. one of the great things he did recently. too was how he reached out to the Nikki. haly voters we spoke to that last week. after Nikki Haley suspended her campaign. and you know I saw some people go but. what but Nikki Haley but what about. progressives and I mean you could do it.

all right it's not an either or thing I. just want to be clear about that but I. think it's important that Joe Biden is. building his campaign his reelection. effort using addition he's trying to say. this is about America right a lot of. things we say on the show like come join. me that's what it's all about we could. disagree on the issues but we should all. agree on this American experiment and. what Donald Trump and these Republicans. are saying is you don't you don't agree. with the cult you don't want to follow.

this cult leader then get the hell out. you don't belong here and you see Donald. Trump saying that and you see people in. the Republican Party saying that and I. wanted to play quickly this call Andy. bigs received on the C-SPAN hit today. and it it was a conservative who was. concerned about the party and I want you. to hear what Andy big says to him and. the divisiveness that I've seen uh from. my party um in the past 40 years has got. me uh kind of puzzled I just registered.

as a republican two months ago uh for. the fifth time Mr Bigs and uh I'm just. going to leave you with this comment and. that is that uh I register as a. republican uh because I'm a conservative. and I'm going to vote for Joe Biden. because I'm a Christian thank you for. listening Mr. well I think that's really interesting. um uh he probably should re-register as. Democrat um I I think if you're not.

voting for Donald Trump because you. think he's not a Christian or not a. moral man um I you know I'm not going to. say look at Joe Biden I would just say. um we should all look at ourselves and. see see who's casting the first. stone yeah you should look at yourselves. and and Ben your your thing yeah I was. saying I don't know what that means when. he says that look exactly BR look at. look at yourself and I want to show this. post also that you know Donald Trump. just did this repost which speaks to.

this exact idea that we're speaking. about right instead of saying you know. what I understand your concerns and I. assume we disagree on the issues but. here is why I think you should vote for. our candidate and here is my defense of. conservative values right that's what. Andy bigs could have said instead he. said well I guess he should register as. a Democrat then okay I guess he should. here's what Donald Trump posts that just. this has just happened Donald Trump uh. did this repost on his social media of. this uh meme that says from some account.

named Ultra extremely stable genius on. Truth social and the meme says I'm not. voting Republican I'm voting. Trump the entire party has been now. revolves around this cult this. personality cult and anyone who does not. bow down to the cult is cast out of the. party so when you're looking at the. coming elections and you see one. candidate. saying literally verbatim I'm a.

president for all Americans I believe in. America Joe Biden then you look at the. other side and you see America is a. nation in Decline and if you don't. support me then get the hell. out those are two fundamentally. different visions of the country one is. by addition one is by subtraction and I. think that is going to be one of the. deciding factors of this election Jordy. quickly and then I'll get into the. economics yeah just real quick on Andy.

bigs right there so the reason why it. didn't make any sense is because he kind. of boxed himself into a corner because. he couldn't use Biden's you know the. Biden phrase don't compare me to the. almighty compare me to the Alterna he. couldn't use that there because if you. do compare each candidate if you stack. one up against each other I mean it. couldn't be more clear who has integrity. and who doesn't right like when we hear. the Biden speech versus the Trump speech. it it's hope over despair you know it's. compassion over hate it's frankly reason.

over treason and so the worst thing in. the world a republican could do is. compare Donald Trump next to Joe Biden. because Donald Trump's moral failures. are just you know magnified times a. thousand when you're looking at someone. who actually stands for democracy who. who stands for compassion like President. Biden yeah it's like all right keep keep. defending the rapist and say you're. behind Christian values it's like all. right buddy all right anyway let's get. into some news about the economy because. there's a lot of good news to report.

about the economy a lot more evidence of. resilience in this American economy we. we received a stunning jobs report again. it was jobs day last week again what did. we get 275,000 new jobs created in. February at the same time unemployment. remaining under 4% for the 25th month. straight that's two years and running. the longest stretch of unemployment in. 50 years and I want to show you this. chart here something that we've said on. the show before but I think this really. visualizes it for us it shows how the. change in GDP in the United States how.

we have increased uh higher faster than. any other of the G7 Nations here you. could see the US far outpacing Canada. France the UK Germany and Japan you see. that our economy is Far and Away doing. better than other economies in the. modern world you're also seeing here. that Biden's first three years in office. have seen the fastest real GDP growth. since Bill Clinton's first term on this. chart I mean the data is undeniable and. obviously you know things aren't perfect.

everywhere and and there's a lot of. economic disparity and there's a lot of. work to do but especially coming out of. this covid Crisis coming out of this. Global pandemic to see the resilience of. the economy and just the way that the. United States has been growing compared. to other countries I mean we're number. one if you're number one at anything. that should go a little bit right. that should mean something and then this. is just a point I really want to hit. before we go because you hear Donald. Trump and these Trump supporters they.

invent this concept that the United. States was energy independent over. Donald Trump which is not a true thing. and they say that Joe Biden ruined. energy Independence well it's just a. madeup talking point but you know who. has achieved energy Independence in the. United States President Joe Biden this. is from not Brett melis or Midas Touch. This is from the Analyst at JP Morgan. the the famous Libs at JP Morgan and JP. Morgan said the US has achieved US.

Energy Independence for the first time. in 40 years while Europe and China. compete for Global energy resources and. you could see the chart once again right. here that shows the us as energy. independent so you could share this. chart with all your friends you know if. you're listening on audio you come back. take a screenshot of it and anytime. anybody goes oh the country is no longer. energy independent you got the country. was an energy independent over Trump you. know who the country is energy. independent under Joe Biden for the. first time in 40 years that's my update.
