2/16/202615 mincomplete
0:00Donald Trump is having a terrible President's Day, the President's Day he deserves as he's
0:06finding out that the boycott of his State of the Union coming up next week,
0:11it is growing. We're hearing from more Democrats saying they are absolutely not, not attending
0:18this State of the Union.
0:20Midas Touch got the exclusive right here of Democratic Congress member Dr.
0:25Ami Barra. He writes, Donald Trump continues to run roughshod over the Constitution, display utter
0:33disregard for Congress, and openly engage in corruption to enrich himself and tarnish the country
0:39I love. I will not give him the dignity of having my presence at the
0:44State of the Union. In less than 48 hours, the Midas Touch Network is going
0:48to announce our counter -programming to the State of the Union, and we will be
0:53featuring senators and Congress members who will be boycotting the State of the Union.
0:58I can't wait to make that announcement.
0:59Make sure you subscribe. Help us hit 6 million subscribers.
1:03I'm going to show you more about what Dr.
1:06Ami Barra had to say in just a moment, but I also want to talk
1:11about internationally we're seeing real presidents, real leaders stand up to Donald Trump like President
1:18Zelensky of Ukraine. Here's what he just posted on President's Day.
1:22And I should note, Donald Trump has yet to post any message on President's Day
1:26as of the recording of this video.
1:29I mean, he did say, Nicole Parker, formerly of the FBI, is doing a great
1:34job explaining on Fox News the Nancy Guthrie investigation.
1:39Others also working so hard with so much expertise and knowledge.
1:44Hopefully, there will be a positive result, he says.
1:47What president talks like that?
1:49Hopefully, there will be a positive result.
1:51Didn't y 'all like kidnap a guy named Carlos, who was a delivery driver, who
1:56had like nothing to do with this at all, and then parade him in front
2:00of cameras? This is like the most sloppy and despicable FBI, not to mention, of
2:04course, that y 'all are covering up the child sex trafficking ring.
2:07And by the way, new reporting out there, this is what I've been saying the
2:11entire time on the Midas Dutch Network as well, suggests that there are now over
2:1550 terabytes of documents in the Epstein files, and only, what, 1 % to 2
2:22% has been produced. So remember how people have been saying, well, they produced half
2:29of the documents. Imagine what's in that other half that they're still hiding, right?
2:33They produced redacted documents, but there's 3 million unredacted documents, and then there's a whole
2:39another data set of 3 million documents.
2:41There may be 100 million documents, 150 million documents, and what researchers were doing and
2:47analyzing this is they looked through a lot of the communications, which seemed to indicate
2:5150 terabytes, 50 terabytes of documents, and maybe a fraction of that has been produced,
2:57but I digress. Okay, going back to what I was saying about Zelensky, here's Zelensky's
3:03post this morning. He goes, when you want to get a real president, president of
3:08Ukraine, when you want to get compromises from people who are under attack and who
3:13are not aggressors, what do you give them?
3:15They don't trust anybody. They don't trust anybody because we had a Budapest memorandum that
3:20was security guarantees. We gave up our nuclear and other weapons, a lot of aircraft,
3:25dozens of jets. We gave them up and received.
3:27security guarantees of sovereignty and independence.
3:30Just so you remember what he's talking about, 1994, Ukraine enters into the Budapest Memorandum.
3:36They give up their nuclear arsenal.
3:38They have one of the biggest nuclear arsenals out there.
3:40They give up their weapons.
3:42And then there was supposed to be security guarantees.
3:44The United States, the UK were members of this.
3:47Russia was a member of this.
3:48And the entire Budapest Memorandum was obviously violated.
3:52Zelensky goes on to say, in the end, we don't have those weapons and we
3:56don't have security guarantees. Nobody saved our independence.
3:59It's true. And that's why it's understandable.
4:01Our people have no trust.
4:03They don't live in a fantasy world.
4:04They are realistic and they have lost a lot.
4:07Their families, their houses, their way of life.
4:09That's why people have to see what the security guarantees look like.
4:13What if Russia comes? Many of them are asking.
4:15What if they come? They're asking.
4:17What will happen when they come?
4:18Because they are sure that Russia will come again and they will simply say, no,
4:22we will not run away.
4:23We will just want to hear what it means.
4:25What is the price? What do the security guarantees mean from the world, from the
4:28United States? What do they actually mean?
4:30And our American friends, they are preparing security guarantees, but they're saying, first, swap your
4:36territories and then we'll talk about security guarantees.
4:39We will not give up our territories.
4:41We're not ready for compromise.
4:43What kind of compromise are we ready for?
4:45Not for the compromise that gives Russia the opportunity to recover quickly and come again
4:50and occupy us. That is an important thing.
4:53First, we want security guarantees.
4:55Second, we can talk about the compromise and the stuff like that.
4:58This is how we see the priorities.
5:00But in any case, security guarantees will work only after a vote in Congress.
5:04So what is there to be afraid of?
5:06I don't understand. We can sign the document on security guarantees for Ukraine with the
5:11leaders. It will be a strong signal for the people.
5:14But let's do this in the right order is essentially what Zelensky is saying.
5:18Let me go back to the boycott letter that was exclusively published by Dr.
5:23Ami Barra here on the Midas Touch Network.
5:25Here's how he puts it, too.
5:26I just like to see people standing up to this regime on President's Day as
5:32well. And I'm going to show you Senator Ossoff's speech in a moment, too, which
5:35was, I thought, absolutely incredible.
5:37Here's what Dr. Ami Barra writes, an exclusive on the Midas Touch.
5:40As a senior member of the House of Representatives, I feel an obligation to attend
5:45the State of the Union out of respect for the president as they outline their
5:49vision for the country. But this year, I feel different.
5:52After watching President Trump run roughshod over the Constitution, display utter disregard for Congress, and
5:58openly engage in corruption as he and his family use the office to enrich themselves
6:02and tarnish this country I love, I will not give him the dignity of having
6:07my presence at the State of the Union.
6:09Donald Trump is a troll.
6:10As such, I expect him to use this annual event at our nation's Capitol, a
6:15building I hold sacred, to troll both my Democratic and Republican colleagues.
6:19I expect him to intentionally make outrageous and inflammatory statements that will make Democrats furious
6:24and rise in protest. I expect him to make outright lies and exaggerations, boastfully talk
6:30about his brilliance, and stare down my Republican colleagues until they stand applaud feverishly and
6:36demonstrate their fealty to this malignant narcissist.
6:39I would urge my colleagues and friends on both sides of the aisle not to
6:43fall for his traps or feed his massive ego.
6:45Remember, we are the first branch of government.
6:47We represent the people of this great nation.
6:50We work for our constituents, not a maleficent autocrat.
6:54And by the way, we had Congresswoman AOC tell us that she was going to
6:58not be attending last week.
7:00Our D .C. Bureau Chief Pablo Manriquez was there.
7:03Here's what he had to say.
7:04Here's what she had to tell Pablo.
7:06Just to remind you, here, play this clip.
7:09Are you going to go to the State of the Union?
7:11Probably not, no. What did you make of...
7:14When was the last time you truly trusted the seafood you brought home?
7:17For me, it used to be a constant question mark.
7:19Nutrition, sustainability, taste, where it even came from.
7:23That all changed when I discovered Wild Alaskan Company.
7:25Wild Alaskan Company is hands down the best way to get wild -caught, perfectly portioned,
7:30nutrient -dense seafood delivered right to your door.
7:33And trust me, you haven't tasted fish this good.
7:35I still remember my first box.
7:38I went with a whitefish box, halibut, cod, pollock.
7:41And I made a miso cod that honestly tasted better than what you get at
7:44some of the fanciest restaurants.
7:46The flavor is clean, rich, and incredibly fresh, and it cooks beautifully.
7:50What really matters to me is that it's 100 % wild -caught, never farmed, no
7:55antibiotics, no GMOs, no additives, just real fish that supports healthy oceans and fishing communities.
8:01It's frozen right off the boat to lock in flavor and nutrients like omega -3s,
8:06and everything is sustainably sourced from Alaska.
8:09My personal favorite is that cod, but I'm also all about that halibut.
8:14It's unbelievably versatile, and there is no risk.
8:17If you're not completely satisfied with your first box, Wild Alaskan Company offers a 100
8:22% money -back guarantee. Not all fish are the same.
8:26Get seafood you can trust.

8:35-caught seafood. That's wildalaskan .com slash Midas, M -E -I -D -A -S, for $35
8:43off your first order. Thanks to Wild Alaskan Company for sponsoring this episode.
8:48Now, while Donald Trump is really not saying much on President's Day, other than praising
8:54the FBI's investigation into the Guthrie kidnapping, that was his one message today.
9:01Hope they do well. Good luck, folks.
9:05It's not exactly reassuring. Let me show you somebody who certainly looks very presidential, who's
9:10running for re -election in a Senate seat in Georgia, Senator Ossoff.
9:16He gave an incredible speech on President's Day this morning.
9:20You're not really going to see this in many other places.
9:22Hat tip for Rupert for getting it.
9:24Let's show you what he said here.
9:26Incredible speech here at Playlist, Clint.
9:28First, I will affirm what you can all clearly see.
9:34You can see it, right?
9:38Our nation is afflicted and in crisis.
9:43Americans losing insurance in the middle of chemo.
9:48Hospitals closing down services to fund tax cuts for the very wealthiest people.
9:56Masked federal agents profiling, brutalizing, and killing American citizens.
10:04And maybe amidst all the cruelty and the chaos, you start to feel a little
10:11doubt. A government transformed into a tool of one man's vengeance and enrichment.
10:25A spiritually broken president. A government who digs the moral pit deeper and deeper.
10:37But Pastor Proverbs says, whoever digs a pit.
10:42All right. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and scripture is full of
10:55kings brought low by their own arrogance.
11:00Ahab surrounded himself with 400 yes -men, false prophets paid to affirm the king's delusions,
11:09and those delusions led him to his defeat.
11:14And among today's false prophets are the election deniers, who indulge this president's obsession with
11:23overturning the 2020 election. Now hear me when I say this, they tell a lie
11:32so absurd and therefore so debasing to tell that the act of telling it proves
11:41the teller's total and humiliating submission.
11:44And just to show you the priorities, what is the Trump regime doing today on
11:49President's Day? Well, you had Marco Rubio is in Hungary.
11:53So that's where Marco Rubio is spending his time right here.
11:56You have Russian TV, Russian propaganda reposting Rubio.
12:01Rubio is campaigning for Viktor Orban, the authoritarian Putin bootlicker leader of Hungary right now,
12:07who's trailing significantly in the polls.
12:10But this is what the U .S.
12:10is trying to do. U .S.
12:12is trying to prop up right -wing Putin extremists, Putin backing candidates and destroy democracies
12:20in Europe. That's the stated goal of these treasonous, traitorous, fascist Trump regime people.
12:26And here he is. Here's Rubio.
12:27Right. Rubio, you know, he went and booted.
12:31He went to Munich and he was like, we're going to stand with our European
12:34allies. No, you're not. This guy's a clown.
12:37This guy's a fascist clown.
12:39And he's a Putin bootlicker is who he is.
12:41Here's what Russian TV quotes him as saying.
12:43We're entering the golden era of relations between our countries, Rubio says in Hungary.
12:48I don't think it's any mystery and shouldn't be a mystery to anyone here.
12:51How the president feels about you, Rubio told Viktor Orban.
12:55At the end of the day, we are still human.
12:57We are still people. So the U .S.
13:00interfering in European elections to try to prop up Putin proxies, as our editor in
13:05chief, Ron Filipkowski writes, Hungary holds elections in two months and the U .S.
13:09secretary of state is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban.
13:12As you can see, Russian state media loves it.
13:15Now, finally, I'll just share this with you as well.
13:18What else is the Trump regime focused on?
13:21Well, the new health department chat bot advises the public on the best foods to
13:26insert into their rectum, recommending bananas and cucumbers, is what the chat bot says.
13:33RFK Jr. has a new chat bot on the Department of Health website, and it's
13:38advising the public on the best foods to insert into their rectum.
13:43Oh, I'll give you one more, two more data points because I want to arm
13:46you with the right information heading into on President's Day, too.
13:51So there's an AI company called Anthropic, which runs the Claude system, and that's used
13:57a lot in the military, and it also has a lot of business uses as
14:01well. They want to limit the government's use of it to spy on Americans and
14:06to allow military weapons to shoot without commands.
14:10So they want to place some limitations on their AI, and as a result, Axios
14:15is reporting exclusively this morning that Pete Hegseth is close to cutting business ties with
14:20Anthropic and designating the company.
14:23Now, as a supply chain risk, meaning anyone who wants to do business with the
14:27U .S. military has to cut ties with the company, a senior Pentagon officials telling
14:31Axios, the senior officials said it will be an enormous pain in the ass to
14:35disentangle and we're going to pay the price for forcing our hand like this.
14:40And the reason it talks about is that Anthropic and Pentagon have held months of
14:46conversations and they want to limit its use for spying on people, spying on Americans.
14:53And Hegseth wants it to be able to spy on Americans.
14:56That should tell you everything right there.
