LIVE: Trump MIDTERM COLLAPSE Gets WORSE!!! 11/5/2026

Welcome to Ben on breaking news. I'm Ben. Mecelis and this is our breaking news. A. historic week indeed. The historic week. we've been waiting for. A wipe out of. Trump and MAGA across the country. at. the federal level, at the state. legislature level, at the local level. level. MAGA was rebuked in a massive, massive way. And folks, we have a new.

group of Democrats who will be leading. in the House of Representative, in the. Senate, in state legislatures. And I. want to talk about that during this. episode. And I want to talk about some. additional races that were not called as. of even yesterday. Um, but we're getting. more data in. Some of these races. perhaps cannot be officially called yet,

but they are moving very close for us to. be able to make that call. I'll give you. an example. In Mississippi, Scott. Cologne, we had Scott back on in. September of 2025. Do you remember that? We did a video that said, "Mississippi. is waking up." And lots of people said, "Ben, don't get our hopes up. You're. being hyperbolic. Mississippi, what are. you talking about?" Well, Scott Cologne. looks like almost certainly he is going.

to win that Senate race against Cindy. Hyde Smith, the MAGA Republican senator. there. And there's of course a backstory. where she was trying to deprive and deny. him of a federal judgeship when he was. going to be appointed by Biden. Right. now again I I'm not like an odds guy, you know, and I'm not going to take. money ever from the couches or the poly. markets or or them. So I'm not in any.

way sponsored by them. Just I it is a. data point amongst lots of data points. I just want to be very clear. But Scott. Colom's odds over there to win that. Senate race are about 98% right now. And. lots of people are saying they're kind. of ready. I don't want to things can. happen. It could get weird, but I think. we're getting ready to be able to make. that call. Another one, Lauren Boowbert, looks like she's about to lose in a plus. 18 plus 19 uh Trump district in Colorado.

right now. We're getting closer to being. able to make that call over there. Other. calls were able to make. We'll go over. that on this uh show. I mean, you just. take a look at what's happening in some. of these state legislative races as. well. You take New Hampshire for. example, where Republicans had the. majority right there of their state. house and now Democrats have a super.

majority over there. You look at even. like the Texas Supreme Court races that. were up and you had Democrats winning. all of those seats on the Texas Supreme. Court and all of those statewide. offices. Democrats won in Texas. Like. Texas is a blue state right now, folks. You look at Indiana, where Bo became the. Secretary of State. If ultimately. Indiana went with Trump's gerrymander,

the entire Indiana state house would be. Democratic right now because all of. Donald Trump's all of Donald Trump's. gerrymandering turned out to be dummy. mandering. They lost every gerrymandered. seat across the country. You have Major. Oha. He ended up beating the National. Republican Congressional Committee. chair, the guy in charge of running the.

House races for the Republicans, lost. his race. Fred freaking Wellman from the. Midas Touch Network. Shout out Fred won. Missouri's second. We've have a Midas. Touch podcast congress member right now. not sure what he's going to do with the. podcast or the show, but congratulations. to Fred. That victory was all his and uh. incredible, incredible work over there. and really just grassroots meeting the.

people of Missouri's second. congressional district, flipping it blue. from the MAGA Republican extremist an. Wagner. Uh so we got a lot to uh discuss. and folks though you know with this. victory. Democrats have a mandate and they best. not blow the mandate. I think the. biggest aspect of this mandate is. accountability and oversight. We have a.

creature in the Oval Office surrounded. by other ghoulish creatures. We have a. sex predator in the Oval Office. We have. a felon in the Oval Office. We have a. vile piece of trash in the Oval Office. And that Oval Office needs to be cleaned. up. Get the trash out. That whole. disgusting family trash. Losers. Losers.

their whole life. Like their companies. that they bankrupted. their disgusting, perverted, sick behavior throughout that life. What. this election said is that is not. America. As Warren Buffett said, you're. not going to do a deal with bad people. Folks, that doesn't mean the Democrats. should not fight for affordability. Of.

course they should because that's what. the American people were saying as well. that our cost of living is impossible. But Donald Trump's already said, he. said, "Call me Mr. Veto. That's what I. want to be known as. Whenever Democrats. pass something, I'm going to veto it.". Well, I think Democrats should certainly. pursue, an agenda first and foremost, of. course, that's focused on affordability. keep on putting legislation that the. American people want. Making housing.

affordable, e access to health care, universal prek, universal health care. Let's talk about making sure that the. American people are taken care of. Let's. talk about raising a minimum wage, not. just to a living wage. We deserve more. to just live, right? People deserve to. be paid with dignity. So don't just make.

it a livable wage. I don't think people. wake up and go, you know what I want to. do with my life? Just can I just be. livable? I think that's the bare. minimum. Give people a wage with. dignity, damn it. Tax the freaking rich. more. Tax them more. Put bills that say. those things. Absolutely. But if you think you're going to be. doing deals with that sex predator, with. that vile piece of you know what in the.

Oval Office, he can't do a deal. All he. knows how to do is destroy. He knows how. to steal, how to pick your pocket. That's all. He's a lifong. fraud. And what the American people said. is that is not America. So I don't want. to see people nice to him. I don't want. to see people cuddle him. I don't want. to see people appease him. I want people.

to roll up their sleeves and just like. in Canada where they went elbows up, go. fist freaking up and punch the f back. That's what the American people want to. see. Not just Democrats. That's what. independents want to see. That's what. conservatives want to see. Trump ain't a. conservative. Trump is a freaking fraud. The American people know that. That's.

what you're seeing. You know, you're. seeing people say, "Ah, you know, in. Texas, they're saying, "Wait a minute. I. don't want data centers. I want health. care. I want to be paid more. I I'm sick. and tired of being freaking defrauded by. these billionaires who are out there. doing $70 million weddings and flying in. 18 different private jets, Qatari jets. [ __ ] Americans are saying we stand.

united against all of this crap. So understand your mandate and what it. is about. It is about ruthless. oversight, robust oversight, not. weakness. Okay, that's what it is about. for it's actually very simple. You talk. to any American, that is what they want.

Subpoenas need to fly every damn day. I. want to hear about it from the. agriculture committee. I want to hear. about it from budget. Of course, we're. going to hear about it from oversight. I. want to hear it from the armed services. committee, from the intelligence. committee. I want to hear about it from. every single committee every damn day. doing oversight, subpoenaing people, calling them up. Let them run scared,

then go to court and sue their asses and. force them to testify. And if they plead. the fifth, make them do it in public. We. will live stream the [ __ ] out of that. every damn day. That's what the American. people want. The American people are. under no illusion that you can do a deal. with Donald Trump. You can't do deals. with bad people. And Donald Trump's not. just a bad person. He's not even really. a person. These are demonic forces in.

the Oval Office. These are the worst of. the worst scum. All of them. It's really. that simple. Understand your mandate is. to hold these people accountable. Be. strong. That's You want to know what. every American talks about? That's what. every American talks about. And when it. comes to impeachment, do not take it off. the table. Do not take it off the table. ever. you I want to see these people get. impeached right away. And you know what?

If people are gonna vote, if this showed. you anything, as Dr. Abdul Elsad said, you know, these bullies, they huff and. they puff and they act all tough, but. you have to stand up to them. You have. to fight back. And if you take a look at Abrago Garcia, if he can defeat Donald Trump in court, so can we. If Eene Carol can defeat. Donald Trump in court with the facts, so.

can we. If those two people, they don't. have powerful armies. Though they had. good lawyers, but they don't have. powerful armies. They don't have the. full DOJ at their disposal. They don't. have a Department of Defense at their. disposal. They don't have the. billionaires at their disposal. No. If. people like that, if every day people. who were wrong can stand up, so can we. So stop with the head fakes of, "Oh, but.

what if we do this, but what?" No, but. this is not a time for the butts. Donald. Trump's time was the butts. That's all. he wanted to talk about. Men's asses, men's butts. Okay? For us, there is no. butt. It's here is what we are doing. here. We hear you. We're listening to. you. We understand. We understand you're. angry. We all have a right to be angry. because this regime screwed our country.

Freaking today you have the top Russian. advisor to Putin, Kil Demetri, is in the. Oval Office. doing some weird freaking propaganda. with Melania Trump. You got Melania. Trump. Kil Demitri. Melania is saying. what a great humanitarian Putin's people. are. Both sidesing the issue of. kidnapping children. Yeah, Ukraine's. kidnapped all of these children is. basically what Melania said. Ukraine's.

kidnapped them and Russia did it, too. So, we're just going to reunite all of. the children because Ukraine was. stealing them and Russia was stealing. them. No, you want to talk about what. the facts were, you could talk about. Russia stealing the Ukrainian children. and then when they came up to a certain. age using those children to fight. against Ukraine in a war where they're. now getting killed in a catastrophic war. and you're giving cover to that with all. of this freaking [ __ ] That's what's. going on. Let the oil companies know.

Let all of the US companies know that if. they touch that Russian diesel that. there's going to be real ramifications. for them. Be freaking tough. Tough. Put. it all on the line because that's what. the American people voted for. And yes, the American people voted for. affordability. Absolutely. But these. issues are inextricably intertwined. You. know why also? Because in a healthy. functioning democracy, when you get.

shellacked the way the MAGA Republicans. just did, you know what happens in every. other democracy pretty much but ours? That's a vote of no confidence and the. government leaves because that's what. the American people were saying. The. American people were saying these pieces. of [ __ ] need to go. That's the message. that was being sent. And when you see. this in other governments, it's a no. confidence, especially parliamentary. systems. Heck, in Canada, if they can't.

put forward a budget, that's a vote of. no confidence. And they need to. constitute a new government. If they. can't pass a budget, a new vote, a snap. election has to take place. And so what. the American people really want to see. is Trump deposed. We want to see him go. under oath. But people want these people. out. And I know we have to live with. them for two years, but what the. American people are saying is that for. these two years, establish the. president. Do everything you can to get. them out. Everything you can. And we.

understand that our system is a. president serves four years. Sure, whatever. But you better fight like. hell. Like the goal and the objective is. impeachment. Why see I teach negotiation. at a law school. That's what I do. I. teach negotiation. I teach different law. classes. On negotiation, you never give. up from the outset any one of your. possibilities. So, if asked about it,

you say it's on the table. Now, personally, I want it more on the table. I want it now. That's what I want it. I. want it right freaking now. Start with. Hegsith next week. Sure. Great. Bessent. the day after Epstein Island Lutnik the. day after. I bet you Republicans would. work with Democrats right now who have. lost their job who are in this lame duck. session. So start let's start right now. Let's go. Epstein Island Lutnik for all.

of his lies. Let's get him. Bessent that. little pathetic thing. Freaking Bessant. Uh obviously Hegsith, right? I mean I. want to see Admiral Brad Cooper, Mr. Podcaster. Dude started a freaking. podcast today talking about eating. grilled cheese sandwiches or or French. fries or something today. Dude was. talking about French f. We don't give a. [ __ ] that you're eating French fries. Admiral Brad Cooper. I don't care that. you like French fries. Why? What are you. doing podcast? YOU'RE THE YOU'RE THE. COMMANDER of SenCom. You're behaving.

like a freaking loser. I don't care. I. want to shoot hoops. I don't care if you. shoot hoops. You got us into a. catastrophic war and you're losing the. war. I don't want to hear about your. French fries and your ketchup. Stupid. Stupid. I want him impeached now. But. certainly don't take it off the table. It's ridiculous. On the table first and. foremost. It's it's on the table. All. options. If if if. mean it, say it that we will pursue the.

ends of justice wherever they lead. If. that is impeachment, that's where it. goes. If it is a war crime tribunal, we. should make referrals to war crime. Oh, we can't do that. We can't do that. [ __ ] WE COULD DO ANYTHING. If. Donald Trump can cut off USAID and. destroy these independent agent, we can. do it. If if if you can do it for bad, we can do it for good. Wield your power. That's the mandate that is being sent.

right now. I want to be very clear. because this daughtering freaking loser. creature in the Oval Office, you want to. see this is what my team tells me he's. doing right now while I'm recording. This is what he This is what they're. telling me he's doing right now. He's. making Look at what this piece of [ __ ]. is doing right now. Okay? And for those. who are new to the Midas, this is why. independent media is important. Okay? We. speak with moral clarity. That's it. It's a simple simple formula. We just. speak the truth. We say what we feel to.

you. And look at this loser. Look at. this freaking loser be clowning us, embarrassing us on the World Strait. It's precisely the reason that people. want this loser gone because of [ __ ]. like this. Trump, we have something. that's of great interest to a lot of. people. The Oval Office and the cabinet. room. I'm gonna make this uh uh I'm. gonna make this into a landmark of all. ages so you can't uh make any.

renovations to all of this piss on the. wall here. Let me show you everybody. what that looked like just moments ago. I'm just seeing this now as well. Let's. play it. >> Well, thank you very much. We have. something that is of great interest to. me, but it's of great interest to a lot. of people and it concerns the Oval. Office and the cabinet room. very. important spaces and I'm going to be. signing a document which will make them. into a landmark uh for the ages. It.

won't be able to be taken down, destroyed, touched, or anything else. It'll be uh it's called actually a. national monument. It's a federal. landmark and uh when completed and when. we get the documentation. uh fully done and legally binding, it'll. make it impossible for anybody ever to. destroy this incredible space. We won. World War II. We won World War I. We won.

a lot of things. We've built a a country. largely the modern the country as we. know it, the modern country. And we. certainly had some good years during my. so far six years. And uh I just thought. >> show the other clip from the Oval. Office, please. Let's see the other one. >> We've had tremendous victory in this. office. So we're making it a national. monument and it will not be allowed to. be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped. down by uh stupid people in order to.

build something in a slightly different. shape. We like the Oval Office and it's. a symbol like the White House itself. It's a symbol. >> And then he says what we're doing in. Iran is not a war. He says he says it's. something else. Says we're doing an. occupation. Says we're doing an. occupation. His own words today. We're. doing an occupation. Here, play this. clip. >> Wars. Somebody said a war with Iran. You.

know, we have succeeded with the. blockade tremendously. and we have destroyed so many men told. me today it's from the area a. neighboring country that it'll take them. 25 to 30 years right now to rebuild. their country and you know so we'll see. how that all works out. I think it's. working out very well. Somebody else. called, you know, they say it's an. occupation. Remember, we're because it. it is virtually an occupation. And we're.

not looking to be wise guys, but uh it. it is an occupation. Get that piece of trash out of there. If. you don't see the emer the American. people see the emergency, the hell is that thing? The hell are you. talking about? And by the way, you want. to know what Iran's doing? You vile sex. predator. You vile piece of trash. You.

freaking loser. You know what they're. doing today? I'll tell you what they're. doing. You know what? Moshin Razi, the. top advisor to Ayatollah Mojabak, you. know where he is? Yeah. He's at the. Kremlin right now with Putin while. Putin's number two or top adviser Carill. Demetri is in the White House right now. Yeah. motion raz I know how you say we. don't know who the leaders are of Iran. yeah I know who they are I know who all. of them are I know who the top advisers. to Ayatollah Mojabak are I know at the.

army level I know at the navy level I. know at the IRGC level I know at the. civilian parliament level I know at the. foreign ministry level I know at the. deputy foreign ministry level I know at. the presidential level you know why. because that's what you have to do to. educate yourself to know that you're not. feeding us a bunch of [ __ ] because. What was actually announced today is. that Russia and Iran will be building. gas pipelines connecting the countries. and they will be building more uh train.

uh and freight capabilities, more rails, more railway is going to be built. The. railway networks will be improved. At. the same time, they also announced that. they would be providing a lot more. helicopter equipment to help Iran fight. us, to help Iran fight you, you freaking. idiot, and intelligence sharing and. gathering. So, that's what's happening. over there. Also, I'm not sure if your.

friends who called you, you know, who. are working on replacing the US security. architecture in the region with one. dominated by China and Russia. Not sure. they told you, but if you actually had. people who did their jobs at the State. Department and people who did their jobs. at the defense department rather than. talk about injecting themselves with. testosterone while they look like the. most weakest and pathetic I don't even. want to call them. I don't want to call. these people. They would tell you that.

Iran's had multiple phone calls today. with leaders from Oman and Jordan and. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and others. While. all of this is going on, they are. planning for what the future looks like. over here. Um they are looking for the. future. Now this is just coming in right. now. Donald Trump commented to Iran on. Axios. Now we will make a decision. He. says regarding Iran. Do we want to go. further and ensure that this will never.

happen again? I would prefer not to. destroy what is left of this country if. possible, but I may have to do so. You. will know very soon. Folks, get the sex. predator piece of trash out of there. And Democrats, step the hell up right. now because this sicko who has suffered. this psychic injury, this trauma about. what a freaking loser he is right now. You see him, you saw him yesterday and.

by this is why I did the interview with. Dr. Bandy Lee because I want to study. people's psych psychology. I want to. understand and she explained what you. saw yesterday was almost a cathartic. moment for him. feeling like the loser. that he is as he was walking around the. ballroom and doing all of that. He. looked like a defeated like just bizarre. and deranged, right? I mean, you know, more so um you know, than than even. usual. But what she warned about is that. then as he tries to find his balance, a.

likely outcome of people who feel. trapped, who feel like such losers when. limits are placed is to lash out. And in. the case of somebody like this, she said. that could lash out in the form of. catastrophic war to feel emboldened and. empowered. You've got Hegs who's about. to actually be impeached likely with the. support of Republicans. You have. Netanyahu is about to be deposed from.

power as a coalition has formed with the. Yashar party with Gaddy Eisenat and the. Arab block forming a government over. there and actually the Orthodox party in. Israel not supporting Netanyahu anymore. So Netanyah so you have some very. desperate war criminals right now who. are panicking and who want to escalate. this catastrophic war. And if you think. that you're going to finish them off, you're going to finish. They're not. finishing them off. They're stronger.

than before the war, you freaking idiot. And that's not me propagandizing. I'm. telling you the truth. They have more. ballistic missiles. They have more. cruise missiles. They've upgraded their. drones. They have their targets ready to. go in the region. They will cut the. underground. cables that exist that that connect the. internet to the Middle East. They will. destroy the American assets and American. related assets in that region right.

away. You didn't destroy them. They've. hit five tankers in the straight of. Hormuz in the past 24 hours. They've. downed two US Lucish drones in the past. 12 hours using electronic jamming. equipment which was probably also. provided by either Russia or China. Although don't underestimate Iranian. engineering, okay? Because they have. some of the best engineers. Stop acting. like Iran and a proud Persian.

civilization, even if they have their. criticisms and serious ones and serious. issues with the government. Stop acting. like they're cavemen and that you can. obliterate them. You did it. You've. already lost. They've already destroyed. a ton of our bases. They've destroyed. our logistical freaking hub in Bahrain. Stop with the [ __ ] Stop pretending. that it's like that is like, "Oh, we're. beating." You didn't beat him. You lost. You lost. And do we have Admiral Brad. Cooper? Show Show with what this idiot.

I mean, this is SenCom. You're doing a. bro podcast about freaking French fries? Are you stupid? Are you Are you that. freaking dumb? The hell are these people. right now? I mean, for real. Are the Are. these gremlins? like who who who are you. here? Play this clip. >> So, you're more of a salad, chicken. Caesar salad person, but here's. something that people might not know. about you. You are the original, in my. opinion, my thoughts, you are the. original fry guy. You like French fries.

Uh, most people don't know this, but I. did not know this. When we stationed. together years ago, my lunch would come. and I always had French fries, you know, bad on me. But you would see my French. fries coming on my plane. you at least. take one or two. And they would tell me. and you never knew. I don't think you. ever knew that. I knew you took my. French fries. So, is that your favorite. food? French fries. >> We should let the world know. For years, I've been eating your French fries. The. secret is now out. But yeah, I never met. a French fry I didn't like. Uh and thus. the need to exercise frequently to. balance that out.

>> What What are you talking about? Your French your French fry habit. You. French fry you French fry eating. Dude, I don't give a [ __ ] about you eating. You're the commander of SenCom. Behave. like a grown-up. We don't want to see. this podcast of you two talking about. this [ __ ] You got us involved in a. catastrophic war. You have the so-called. commanderin-chief. out there say, "Oh, I'm going to teach. them. They've already been destroyed.". No, they haven't. Bragging about.

occupation. The hell is going on here? That's real. They posted that. That was SenCom posted. that to the world on their official. Sencom. The secret is out that you're. bunch of losers and everybody sees that. the United States is so damn weak right. now. It's like a major league team. putting out no offense to the middle. schoolers who would do a better job. Like putting out the the middle school. team, not even the middle school team.

like again unserious, you know, the the. I don't know. I was going to say, you. know, Back in the day when I went to school, we had this area called like the bump. and the bump is where all the bad kids. would smoke cigarettes in middle school. and they'd be at the bump and you would. see the kids smoking cigarettes at the. bump, right? Yeah. I mean, no, no. offense if you I mean, I'm not I don't. endorse smoking. You shouldn't be a. smoker. I'm not trying to like whatever. But if you know, it's like the middle. school bump kids. You're like the bump. you're like the bump kids trying to play.

Major League Baseball. That's what you. showed the world. And sure, you may have. the the military equipment, but you. don't know how to use it because if. that's your behavior, that's what it. reflects to the entire world. Anyway, I. want to show you this. It rages me. Let. me get back to a more happy place right. now and then I'll get back to an angry. place. This is a super cut that Brett. made about the election. Let's play it. >> Except for the fake polls out there. My. poll numbers are great. No, they have. such fake polls. CNN projects that.

Democrat John Asa will win the Senate. race. >> Kisha Lens Bottoms will become the next. governor of Georgia. >> You can dismiss the polls, okay? The. polls are wrong. >> Don't buy it. I'm telling you, I'm on. the ground in the swing districts. I am. seeing huge energy in crowds. It feels. like 2024 to me. >> Amy Aosa makes history. James Town Rico, >> we just took back Texas. >> Roger Marshall. He's one of the best. senators. I think he's tied or up by a.

little bit. >> Hamilton will defeat the Republican. incumbent Senator Roger Marshall. They. pull way too many Democrats. >> Chris Papis, Joselyn Benson, Amy. Clolobachar, Deb Holland, Zack Dembo, Paige Cognetti. Democrats will win. control of the House of Representatives. They were made up fake. >> Rob Sand Democrat Josh Turk will win the. Senate seat in Iowa. I know I'm only 26. years old, but I've never seen a poll. that was real. Every single one is fake.

Why are we suddenly going to start. believing that these polls are actually. showing reality? Democrats will win. control of the US Senate. >> Frankly, I think the Times should be. prosecuted for that. >> Roy Cooper will win. Democrat Peggy. Flanigan will win. >> Senator Susan Collins has called. Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson. to concede. You know, we have sent a. thousand pollsters all over the country. I'll bet you some guy says that. >> Michigan. We did it.

>> And I examined his ass. >> The green. That's not grass. That's. algae. >> Oh, baby. Oh, mom. PRETEND THAT I'M ON THE BALLOT. I'm on. the ballot. You know, I don't like to. consider it a defeat for me. I was on. the ballot. saw Shawn Duffy's nephew. I'm I'm only. 26 years old, but I never seen a poll. I'm never seen a poll. Shut up. I I.

mean, shut up. I mean, we just we need. to stop allowing these losers to like, you know, think that just just tell him. to shut up. Shut up, you freaking loser. Or I mean. all these people just you stand up to. these people, folks. That's what this. election showed that you stand you you. expect me to have a rational. conversation with Shawn Duffy. Shut up. Shut it for real. I mean, you. know, or Donald J. You're going to do.

negotiations with that guy. Oh, let's. talk about affordability. I think what we need I mean, good luck. Good luck trying to do a deal with that. thing, you know? Good luck trying to. deal do a deal with that guy who's on. audio bragging about sexually assaulting. women because he says he's rich and when. you're rich you could do it or brags. about going into uh the beauty pageant. locker rooms and looking at girls naked. because you can inspect them naked. He. said you want to know one of the reasons. why they're so obsessed with men and. women's bathrooms. It's because that's.

what Donald Trump would do. That's why. why do you know it's always projection? That's what Donald Trump did. He brags. about doing it. that that that that's. who we should be freaking worried about. right there. You guys see the uh. store.midestouch.com. We've got the blue wave gear.

I wasn't. mean to offend the bum kids out there, but I think we should do some merch that. says I was a bum kid and now I'm a Midas. Mighty. I was a bum kid and now I guess.

we're all we're all bum kids when it. comes down to it though, right? We're. all just bump kids trying to just trying. to get over the bump. Uh, if you will. All right, let's talk about. some resignations at the White House and. within the Trump regime. Earlier today, we learned that Harm meet Dylan, Donald. Trump's handpicked DOJ civil rights. chief, has resigned following the. Democrats historic midterm route. Dylan, as you'll recall, gutted the civil. rights division, drove out career.

attorneys, and pursued some of Donald. Trump's most odious legal crusades. Also, there has been a lot of reporting, first by the independent and then by. Bloomberg, that Secretary of State Marco. Rubio is trying to figure out how he can. extricate himself from this regime. Can't extricate yourself, Rubio, when. you're inextricably intertwined with all. of the war crimes. You, sir, are a war. criminal who should also be turned over.

to the Hague for war crimes prosecutions. along with Hegsith, along with Donald. Trump. The kind of energy I want in. future Democratic presidential. candidates is I want them to confirm. I. want them to agree perhaps even in. writing that on day one they turn over. the war criminals to war crime. tribunals. I mean I mean to me like. impeachment's like a five, you know, like like I want to see like war crimes.

tribunals. Like that's what like that's. what I mean the war criminals need to go. in front of war crime tribunals. I think. it's a pretty basic formula. I mean what. they did in Manab, what they did in La. Mer, slaughtering little children in La. Mer with these tungsten pellets. Little. boys, little girls were playing around. at a volleyball practice. The Trump. regime slaughtered them there. The. children from Manab in elementary school. slaughtered with tomahawk missiles over. there. A lot of other war crimes being. committed off of Venezuela and South. America. Um the shooting and destruction.

of these fishing boats uh that the Trump. regime says are narot traffickers. Even. if they are narot traffickers, you don't. just kill people. Okay. Also, narot. traffickers, which type of narco, which. what are we talking about actually here? Um, people still get due process. You. don't just kill people who are accused. It's not what we're supposed to do here. So, those are war crimes. But there's no. evidence that they're actually narot. traffickers. But I'm not afraid to say. even if they were, they still get due. process. You don't just kill people. You.

know, lowlevel narot traffickers. Not. good. I mean, they deserve to be brought. to justice. Um, does it mean you just go. up and start shooting them in the face? You know, I mean, these are probably. impoverished people. These aren't these. aren't the narco kingpins. The narco. kingpins are Donald Trump's friends. That's who Donald Trump is installing to. lead these narco regimes in South. America. That's what's actually. happening. Trump's pardoning the top. narco people. I mean, Trump's pardoning.

the narco laundering ring, right? We all. know about that Binance hack that. happened. Trump's buddy from North Korea. apparently hacked this Binance crypto. that was previously prosecuted for being. used for laundering funds for the. biggest narco trafficking. Trump pardon. that guy. Trump pardon that big narot. trafficker from South America as well or. Hernandez. Trump mean so don't so spare. me that. But those are war crimes. war. tri, you know, war crime tribunals. That.

that's what frankly frankly the the. impeachment the impeachment argument is. like uh like like we're kind of well. past that, right? Like like the. impeachment argument is like uh that's. like that's like uh that's like the. chaser. That's like uh that's like the. orange juice. Like that what are we. talking about? We we I'm not even sure. what I mean by that. But but but what we. need to be focusing on is like there's a. bigger picture here. I mean like these. are these are war criminals covering up. their war crimes. But yes, I'd like to.

see I'd like to see the impeachments and. we could start off with HGsith on. Monday. Um we could start off with. HGsith on uh Tuesday. But but but Marco. Rubio and then Ruby's like, "No, I'm not. doing that. That's not true. That's a. lie." He hasn't said that. But his. people have said that. His people have. said that. Um I I just for for for. really no reason at all. C could we just. show Saddam Hussein statue being pulled. down? Just want to show it here. Let's. play it.

Yeah. And then I'm just going to show. you Bashar Assad statues being tor. I. don't know. I'm just I just have an.

impulse to show it to you. I don't know. why. I'm just going to show it to you. just showing historical uh historical uh. historical footage uh over there. Um. take a look over here. Congress member.

Maron Stzman over here. This is a MAGA. Republican. He's saying there needs to. be some accountability. Here's what he. has to say. Let's uh play this clip. >> Uh we're in the minority in a big way. and this is gives us a chance to start. fresh. Uh you know, I'm a business guy. and if uh in business all of a sudden. you lose uh that much of your uh work to. your competitor, uh you you're going to. fire people. In fact, I think there. should be some heads rolling from the. White House as well right now. And I.

think we need to start with our own. house right now and making sure that we. have new leadership, new voices. Um, you. know, I I appreciate everything they've. done and tried to do, but it didn't. work. And so, I'm going to be supporting. Jim Jordan in this race and believe that. as we look to the other positions as. well, that we need new people stepping. up. That's what Republicans are for. We're for competition and getting the. best people uh out in front to lead our. party. >> Okay. We need We need the heads to roll. Sir, who you going to bring in, sir? Uh,

let's bring in the uh gym coach who. covered up uh the pedoes at the at the. college. Sir, it's a it's a brilliant. idea, sir. Let's bring the guy who is not a lawyer. who head. Are you a lawyer or are you an. attorney? The non-licensed guy who went. to law school. No offense to it, but you. shouldn't be leading the judiciary. committee. like we're going to have a. constitutional scholar right now who's.

actually going to be leading the. judiciary committee in Jaime Rascin, right? Like someone who's actually. qualified and competent and is a lawyer. and is a top lawyer and who knows what. he's doing. Right. Right. It's a it's a. thing. Um but let's let's let's do Jim. Jordan. This is a this is what Hegsith. is posting right now. Let me share. This. is a video. He's lashing out over. efforts to impeach him. Here, let's play. this clip. This is not about me. But of.

course, the other side, in case you've. noticed, they're obsessed. A disgruntled, defeated congressman. along with all his Democrat allies has. also dropped sham articles of. impeachment against yours truly, just. like they tried against President Trump. twice. You see, their policies don't work. So. their obsession with political theater. disguised as power drives them to try to. destroy their opponents. It's all about. the politics of personal destruction.

Didn't work against President Trump and. it won't work with me. You can rest. assured of that. To the troops, don't blink. Ignore the. noise. Never hesitate. You see, all this. is politics. You do real things, so stay the course. And as always, President Trump leads the. way. In service of our nation, he has. endured more than anyone can fathom. He.

literally took a bullet for this nation. He shook his fist and said, "Fight, fight, fight. Shut the [ __ ] up, traitor. War. criminal." That's what the America get, you know, I don't like to curse, but I'm. fired up on this episode. You are a war. criminal. That's what you are. You have. destroyed our military. And don't you. dare cloak yourself in our troops who.

you've abandoned, quite literally. abandoned them in the Middle East. You've destroyed our military. leadership. You have pushed out or fired. our top four star, three star, two star, onestar generals. You've stopped. promoting people because they're black, latino, or women. You have literally. gutted our military. You've made us. weaker than ever before. You couldn't.

run a veterans nonprofit. You were. pushed out of that because you were so. corrupt for a small veterans nonprofit. group. And then you've also attacked our. veterans community as well. You want to. build a gigantic arch to cover up the. view of the Arlington Cemetery. And when. our courageous veterans sued to block. it, the argument from the Trump regime. is, "What standing do veterans have with.

respect to the Arlington Cemetery?" So. spare me that Donald Trump has endured, you know, you use your hand gestures, that he's endured more for this country. No, he was called to serve during the. Vietnam War and he did not serve. He. claimed that he had bone spurs on five. different occasions and got deferments. and didn't actually serve when he was. called to serve our nation. then had the. audacity in between speaking about men's.

asses on the campaign trail to say that. all we had to do if we wanted to win the. Vietnam War in a week was to bomb Ho Chi. Min City, which then was Saigon, which. was the capital of our ally, South. Vietnam. And if he wants to actually. open up a history book, and know why. there wasn't strikes on Hanoi, that. would have caused World War II and drew. China and Russia into the war. as well. A war that we look back on as being.

utterly catastrophic as well. But I. suppose when Donald Trump is promoting. that we should bomb the capital of our. ally, is that really any different than. how he treats Sinski or how he treats. Canada or how he treats NATO or how he. treats our actual allies who he's thrown. under the bus. So I suppose to some. extent, yes, Donald, if we would have. bombed our ally during the Vietnam War,

it would have ended in a week because we. would be bombing our ally. And what. Trump has done with Ukraine is frankly. the equivalent of bombing our ally. And. against all odds, Zalinski has managed. to not surrender, to hold the front, to. recapture a lot of land previously. And now he has to endure a winter. onslaught without any interceptors. The.

remaining interceptors going to the. despicable Netanyahu regime that already. has the Iron Dome. That's where our. remaining interceptors are going to. while the US has run out of. interceptors. And Zalinsky is left to. fend for himself while Russia has built. up a massive arsenal of thousands and. thousands of ballistics and iskanders. and other ballistics given by North. Korea. Dual use parts that were given by.

China. Iranians contribution with the. initial shahid base that became the. garin fours and the garin five jet. fueled drones that Ukraine now struggles. to strike down the way they used to be. able to strike down these shaheds the. cruise missiles that are at play. Donald. Trump and this regime of war criminals. has done so much damage international. and they want to do more as Dr. Abdul. Elsiad again said and I want to quote.

him because there are so many people too. like Dr. Abdul say he'll never get the. independence he crushed with the. independence. What are you talking. about? I I don't need to hear from. people to tell me people who aren't. fighting with us. People who aren't. shouldertosh shoulder with us all of. these years. I don't need people to show. up 30 days before an election who. haven't been there with us to tell us. what independent voters are going to do. or what this type of voter is going to.

do or what that type of voter is going. to do. Do you know that Zoron Mdani has. a significantly higher approval rating. with Jewish New Yorkers and Jewish. people generally than Israel than than. Netanyahu's regime does right now in. Israel? I mean, do do you know that. people view Mamani more favorably? That. overwhelmingly he still has broad. support amongst the Jewish community. even. So, so don't tell me this group is.

that group and that group and. independents will never vote for that. and you don't know. I don't need to I. stop. And corporate news, do you see. what they're doing right away? They're. coming at it again and they're being. like, so this was a uh this was kind of. an election that was like all about like. not progressive and like what are you. talking about that that's the lesson. that you the opp what are you talking. about? They're gonna they're run by. oligarchs, right? So, they're going to. do their thing, but we need to build our. structures here, and we need to be.

supportive of each other. Does that mean. we're going to be right all the time? No. Does that mean we're going to be. perfect? No. But we need to remember. that we all fought with each other. That. we were in the trenches with each other. Not before an election, but during life, in life. Because life is not just an. election. Life is every [ __ ] day that. we have to deal with on this earth. It's. taking our kids to school. It's going to. the hospital. It's running errands. It's.

giving back. It's trying to find a. doctor. It is struggling. It is trying. to uh live and support ourselves and our. family and better our community. That's. life is every day. Yes, elections happen. two years or there could be special. elections, but life happens every damn. day. And we fight for life. We fight for. each other because we fight for what's. right. That's what this is about. That's. what and then the elections will fall.

into place. Because when you have the. values and principles on your side that. you fight for in life, then the. decisions in the election become easy. Then we can fortify our minds against. the bad actors who pop up during the. elections and try to deceive and pit us. against our fellow Americans and fellow. people in the world. We fortify our. minds against the bad faith actors. That's an important lesson I want you. all to remember as well. WTF America is.

our book, The Way Out of This Hell and. Back to Democracy. We talk about so many. of those ideas in this book. It was not. an election book, but I wanted to drop. the book during the election to remind. us about what's really at stake. Why we. win. Not just for the sake of winning. Not because it's a game, but because. this is about life. This is about. family. This is about community. It's. about the planet. It's about what we do. with the short time while we're on this. earth and what we leave to future. generations. That's why we win. That's.

why we care. It's about that. Also, store.midasouch.com. Check out the latest merch as well. The. blue wave merch. Go and check it out. right now. I think you'll like it.

As I noted before, it. does appear that Scott Cologne can go on. to win this. We can't confirm. We can't. make the call yet. Odds are very high as. the votes are coming in. You still don't. know what's going to happen over here, but it looks like he can go on and win. We could be talking about 56 seats, folks. Um, you take a look at what's.

going on in Colorado's fourth. congressional district. That's Lauren. Boowbert's seat. It's looking can't make. the call yet. Anything can happen. There. could be late drops. So, who knows? But. as of now, Democrat Eileen Laacher uh. veteran uh looks like she's going to. beat Lauren Boowbert. We will see. though. Nancy Laor, who was fired by. Defense Secretary Pete Hegsith in August. 2025 after 35 years of service in the. United States Navy. It looks like she It. doesn't look like she has defeated the.

Republican Jenny Costa Honeyut in South. Carolina's first congressional uh. district over there in Arizona's first. Another flip. Democrat Amish Sha. defeated Dr. Republican Jely over there. Um, we're talking about uh V uh in V in. North Carolina's fifth Virginia Fox. Remember Virginia Fox, that evil lady. person? Um, remember remember when Maga. Mike Johnson I was got to find that.

video somewhere? Remember when Maga Mike. Johnson first became the speaker and. like he was asked like a very basic. question remember like shut up. Anyway, she lost Democrat Chuck Hubard. Yes, that's what I mean. The blood. pressure. Just just tell the news, Ben. You don't need to do impressions for the. rest of the show. Democrat Democrat. Chuck Cubard has defeated incumbent. Republican Virginia Fox in North. Carolina's fifth. Democrat Jessica Kllin. defeated incumbent Republican Jeff Crank.

in Colorado's fifth congressional. district over there. I know we know. about the big Texas races. We know the. governor's race, which was previously. called Governor Gina Hosa. Senator James Taler Rico, but also. Democrats won the Lieutenant Governor's. race, the Attorney General, Comproller. of Public Accounts, Agriculture. Commissioner, Railroad Commissioner, Commissioner of the General Land Office,

Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice, Texas. Supreme Court Place 2, 7, and 8, the. entire Texas State House of. Representatives. You all saw the. interview I did with uh Oh, yeah. We we. we we have the Virginia Fox clip, folks. We have the clip. Take it away. >> The efforts to overturn the 2020. election.

>> Next question. >> Shut up. Shut up. Pretty much all those people have lost. their jobs. It's like almost all of them. have lost their jobs. Um, you saw the. interview I did with Governor Shapiro. yesterday. By the way, I'm going to do. another I'm going to do these like uh. podcast specials where I have like two. featured guests and they're kind of. different which kind of makes it cool, right? Like I had Governor Shapiro and.

Mayor Mom Donnie, right? obviously. different people, but both are fighting for affordability. and I put them in the same episode, which I thought made a really cool. episode personally. And so tomorrow, not. all that different, but tomorrow I'm. going to do Bernie Sanders and Gar and. Congress member Garcia in an episode. I'm gonna do a special drop tomorrow.

morning. When should we do it? like 9:00. a.m. So, I'm going to do these like. special drops that are just going to. release kind of randomly, but they're. going to be great episodes. So, I think. tomorrow we'll do Bernie Sanders and. Robert Garcia. That'll be a cool. episode. Um, oh, why am I mentioning. Governor Shapiro? Because there's the. trifecta in Pennsylvania. Democrats flip. the Pennsylvania Senate for the first. time in over 30 years. It's a big, big.

deal. Democrats flip the Michigan House. That's a trifecta in Michigan, meaning. governor seat, House, and Senate. Democrats flip the Georgia House. For. the first time in over two decades, Democrats won control of the Georgia. House of Representatives. As I mentioned. before, Fred Wellman, Midas touch host, went on to defeat MAGA Republican. extremist Rep. Anna Wagner in Missouri. second congressional district. New. Hampshire state house exploded from a 43.

seat GOP majority to a 200 seat. Democratic supermajority. You know how big that is in New. Hampshire. That's huge. Also, Dr. Abdul. Elsa did indeed call his shot. He. previously said that he would smoke Mike. Rogers by seven and he won by a little. over seven. As I noted, Scott Cologne is. up there right now. I think he's likely.

gonna win that race. Let me share with. you when he spoke with voters what that. looked like. He went to he went to the. Trump rally in Mississippi. and he waited online with people who. were there for a Trump rally. Let me. show you what that looked like. Let's. play. >> What are you expecting at the rally. tonight? I never been to a Trump rally. >> I Okay, I was going to ask you. >> That's where you from? >> I'm from Columbus. How you doing, sir? Can I introduce myself? >> Bill Cal. >> I'm Scott Cologne.

Absolutely. >> Have you taken any money from Apex? >> Absolutely not. You mind me asking you. what matters to you as a voter right. now? >> Um honestly, well, honesty. What you learn when you speak to people. is that these binaries of progressive,

conservative, independent, people by and large actually share a lot. of the same issues when it comes to. affordability, housing, honesty, integrity. And it's these oligarchs who want to try. to divide us, find these wedge issues. that pit us against each other. And so. it's really important that we lead with. values and principles. first and foremost. That's the whole.

game. When you gify it, when you put. this team versus that team, it obscures. the truths. because then people are just entrenching. themselves into why they like the Mets. versus the Yankees or the Celtics versus. the Lakers, but where the stakes are. much higher. And so we can deconstruct. that and say we're all team America. We. shouldn't be happy that there's like the. number two aid to Putin doing Russian.

propaganda from the White House today. Like we shouldn't be like celebrating. that our taxpayer dollars are going to. fight catastrophic wars or commit war. crimes overseas. Like that's not what we. want. Blowing up schools versus building. schools here. We don't want to see a. government covering up a child's sex. trafficking ring in the Epstein files. And they're going to pit us against each. other. I mean, what was the thing they. kept on saying in this race? They're. going to transgender your kids. Does it. even mean they're going to transgender.

your kids? Don't bully a marginalized. community. And we as leaders need to. stand with marginalized communities and. never abandon marginalized communities. Never allow it to be used as a wedge. issue. It's not a culture war issue. It's not culture. It's not culture. These are people. We treat people with. dignity and respect. if they're trans, if they're gay, if they're straight, if. they're white, if they're black, if. they're Asian, if they're Jewish, if. they're Muslim, we treat people with. respect and dignity. It's a very simple. formula. Okay? That's it. That's all you.

say. It's all you say. Simple. Um, I'll. show you what the MAGA Republicans were. trying to do at the last minute to get. out the vote, which failed. They sent. the MAGA prince, Scott Presler. He was. in New Hampshire, which you just saw the. results of New Hampshire. So, it seems. like he had a very positive impact for. Democrats in New Hampshire. We we we got. to send We got to send this trio right. here of Scott Presler and these other. two these other two dudes. We need to. send like uh here's what I advocate for.

Send this crew around. uh like 50 state tour. Let's let's fund. it. Let's fund these guys to go to every. state, every city. I mean if you want to. know what you know I get asked a lot. political messaging political I know. that you know what I think about values. and principles but if you want me to. start getting tactical if you want me to. be you know okay show show us show us. some tactics. Okay, I would fund these.

three and I would say, "All right, 50. state tour, hit every community and tell. people to vote for Republicans. Just go. for it and we'll help." Well, we should. help fund them. Maybe they start a. GoFundMe, whatever. You know, I'm I'm I'm I'm all. for it here. Listen to what Listen to. what they say. Let's play. >> Hey everybody, this is Scott Presler. I'm here with Davis and Brandon of. Turning Point Action. Now, we just. wrapped up an high energy electric event.

here in Manchester. And so, after the. event, we're knocking on doors, making. sure that everybody is coming out to. vote for our Republican candidates. And. Davis, who is running for the United. States Senate here in New Hampshire, >> Johnny Cenounu. And who do we have for. Congress here, Brandon, in this. district? We have Anthony Dorenzo. So, New Hampshire, I stopped what I was. doing in Pennsylvania coming to your. state because I believe in you. Make a. plan to vote by Tuesday, November 3rd,

2026. Game on. So, that was the Trump MAGA approach. I'll show you how Democrat Bo ran in. Indiana. Let's play his ad. >> Most politicians are weak. Bought and. paid for by special interests. I'm Bo B, a captain in the Marine Corps, a seventh. generation Hooser, and I'm running for. Secretary of State because I'm disgusted. with the corruption in that office. I'll. end it on day one. No more wasteful.

spending, for politicians getting rich. while Hoosiers struggle to pay for food. and gas. I'll stand up to anyone who. clean this mess up. I'm a Marine and we. never back down. You want to place Saddam Hussein statue. falling down one more time? We could We. could do anything. It's our show. It's. your show. Should we do it or should we. not do it? Do we do it?

>> Whoa. I just do things for no reason now. It's. post midterm energy. I'm going to show a.

random clip of Saddam Hussein statue. getting getting torn down for no reason. I just say, "Let's play it." That's what. we do. Oh man. WTF America, the way out of this. hell back to democracy. Check it out. Check. It's a good book. Spent a lot of I spend so much time so. much time. But it's an enduring work. that I hope gives a sense of the.

generational change we're capable of. What lessons we can draw from an. international landscape. How do we. fortify our minds to this globalist. authoritarian network? The Trumps, the. Bolsinaros, the Netanyahus, the Putins, the Javier Malaise, the Boullies. We have to see the bigger picture of. what's uh of what's going on here of. what's going on here.
