      Overview

      Literally going mute, Donald Trump retreats to Mar-a-Lago, causing waves of curiosity over his quieter than usual presence. With just one post about TikTok, it’s not the boisterous Trump we've come to expect. Insider sources suggest this may be tied to plummeting approval ratings, currently sitting at a record low 43%. Could his own silence be an unwitting admission of growing pressures?

        Meanwhile, the economic landscape paints a grim picture. Inflation is on the rise, triggering worries about stagflation—a term not thrown around lightly since the '70s. Trump's economic policies, like his infamous tariffs, are catching a lot of blame. And all this while he’s supposedly "living it up" on his Mar-a-Lago retreat. The disconnect is evident, and it’s fanning public frustration.

          While he unwinds, the legal vultures are circling tighter overhead. Trump’s faced multiple legal defeats recently, with several injunctions blocking his controversial orders. His scattered, slurry interviews aren't helping his cause either. But even as traditional media redirects its gaze, platforms like MeidasTouch step in, holding a flashlight steady on what they see as the former president's irresponsibility.

            Chapters

            • 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction and Trump's Silence In this chapter, the focus is on Donald Trump's recent behavior of visiting his residence in Mara Lago, Florida, and becoming less vocal in his usual commentary. Despite typically being very active with social media posts, particularly on Saturdays, Trump has only made a single post referencing TikTok. This unusual silence is highlighted amidst discussions about his declining approval ratings.
            • 00:30 - 01:00: Golf Email and Strange Interview The chapter titled 'Golf Email and Strange Interview' begins with a discussion on the current economic situation, hinting at some turbulence or issues. The primary focus then shifts to an email that was sent out the previous night, offering a surprising opportunity for a free round of golf at Trump International. The email, addressed in a casual manner, suggests this as a 'first time for everything' moment and presents it as a lucky day for the recipient. The email reveals a 'top secret' chance for Trump supporters to win a free round of golf at Trump International, specifically at Mara Lago. The summary closes without detailing the interview, implying it might be addressed in a subsequent section or is left intentionally vague to pique curiosity.
            • 01:00 - 02:30: Trump's Plummeting Approval and Economic Issues The chapter discusses Donald Trump's declining approval ratings and economic issues. It outlines an interview Trump gave before leaving Mar-a-Lago, where his performance was unsettling. The host observed Trump's growing confusion, particularly in a misinterpretation, where Trump mistook 'signal' for cell phone reception in a discussion about 'signal gate.' This portrayal supports concerns about his well-being.
            • 02:30 - 04:00: Isolation and DEI Hires Criticism The chapter discusses the criticism surrounding DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hires, highlighting the isolation some members feel when faced with negative perceptions. The conversation points to Jeffrey Goldberg, a media figure who is disliked by the speaker, portraying his involvement as unusual and unwanted. The speaker criticizes Goldberg's failing magazine and attributes their continued attention to either a mistake by their team or a problematic signal.
            • 04:00 - 05:00: Defense Secretary Controversy The chapter titled 'Defense Secretary Controversy' discusses the plummeting approval rating of Donald Trump, with statistics from Gallup indicating it's at 43% while 53% of Americans disapprove of his performance. This low approval is compared to previous presidents other than Trump in his first term. The reasons highlighted for this disapproval include accusations of lying and failing to deliver on promises.
            • 05:00 - 06:00: Legal Defeats for Trump The chapter discusses the hostile takeover of the government allegedly led by Trump, Elon Musk, and 'Doge', leading to the destruction of essential services and the economy. It highlights the firing of veterans and federal workers by these figures, who are depicted as mocking the public. Additionally, the chapter notes economic issues, such as rising prices and the impact of Trump's tariffs, with Core PCE increasing significantly.
            • 06:00 - 07:00: Plane Incident and Political Fallout The chapter titled 'Plane Incident and Political Fallout' discusses the economic condition where inflation is rising, leading to a situation known as stagflation. This period of economic instability is marked by a stagnating economy combined with high inflation. The Federal Reserve faces a challenging situation as they cannot lower or raise interest rates effectively, leaving the economy in a precarious state. This backdrop of financial uncertainty sets the stage for further discussions around policy responses and economic strategies.
            • 07:00 - 09:00: Media Reactions and Closing Remarks In this chapter titled 'Media Reactions and Closing Remarks', the focus is on the reaction to economic policies, particularly under Donald Trump's administration. The speaker discusses the adverse effects of Trump's tariffs, notably the 25% tariffs on imported cars and parts, which are increasing costs for American families. The chapter also highlights international reactions, such as the strained relationship with Canada's Prime Minister Carney, stating the end of their special relationship, and Europe's formation of new alliances.

            Trump GOES MUTE as he HIDES on DISASTER SATURDAY Transcription

            • 00:00 - 00:30 Donald Trump has once again gone to Florida to Mara Lago for another vacation and he has gone mute. Yes, the blowhard himself not making really any post this morning. He made one post saying something about Tik Tok being very Trumpy, but other than this one post, usually on Saturday it's post post and then you know maybe he'll do a podcast interview in the morning and there's a lot to discuss. But this says his approval is plummeting and he is
            • 00:30 - 01:00 crashing the economy. Um he did send this following email out uh last night. Um win a free round of golf at Trump International. Ben, free round of golf at my home course. Ben, there is a first time for everything. And today is your lucky day. I just launched a top secret opportunity for Trump patriots to win a round of golf at Trump International Mara Lago. Free round of golf, free
            • 01:00 - 01:30 hotel stay, free flight. All you got to do is give Donald Trump some more money. Also, before Donald Trump left Tomorrow Lago, he gave this slurry strange interview with this MAGA podcaster where uh clearly he seemed confused and deteriorating and I think he thought signal meant cell phone reception when he was asked about signal gate. Watch this. He's unwell. Play this clip. But
            • 01:30 - 02:00 let me just start with that piece of it. Out of a country of over 300 million people, how is it that Jeffrey Goldberg, who hates you, ends up on this signal, Chad? Isn't that bizarre? It is bizarre. And he's a, you know, sleas bag, but at the highest level. Yeah, his magazine is failing. It's going to be out of business soon in my opinion. It's bad. It's really, it's too bad we give it a little boost like this, but somebody in uh my group either screwed up or it's a bad signal, you
            • 02:00 - 02:30 know? It's a bad signal happens too. But um so as I mentioned at the outset of the video, Trump's approval is plummeting right now. It's at 43% over 53% of Americans disapprove according to Gallup. This is like pretty much the lowest ever other than Trump in his first term for any uh president. And of course, we know the reasons why he lied about everything and he's failing
            • 02:30 - 03:00 miserably and he and Elon Musk and Doge have engaged in a hostile takeover of the government where they've wrecked essential services and they've wrecked the economy. They've fired veterans and other federal workers. And they've done it while mocking and laughing at we the people. Take a look right here. Uh prices are rising faster than expected. Trump's tariffs are making it worse. Core PCE um jumped 4% in February. We learned that on Friday, hitting 2.8%
            • 03:00 - 03:30 year-over-year. This is now the highest in over a year. In other words, inflation is going up. Prices are going up and we're heading towards something called stagflation, which hadn't happened in like 50 years. This is a crashing GDP, rising inflation. It basically freezes the Federal Reserve. They're not sure what they do. They can't really lower interest rates. They can't really raise interest rates. And you're kind of stuck in this horrible
            • 03:30 - 04:00 economic crisis. And you know, with Donald Trump, things are going to get worse. As this post from Chris Jackson says, his 25% tariffs on important cars, imported cars and parts are driving up costs for American families and just going to make things worse. You've saw my other reports today and this past week how the international community is reacting. Of course, Prime Minister Carney of Canada has said, "See you later, United States. Our special relationship is over. Europe has formed
            • 04:00 - 04:30 its own unique alliances outside of the United States and they invited Zalinsky to their meetings this past week. America is isolated all alone." You know, you're seeing polls like this as well. This is from the CBS Yuggov poll. Is your income keeping up with inflation? 76% of Americans say it is not. New breaking news on Hegsith as well. Pete Hegsit's younger brother, we learn, is now serving in key positions
            • 04:30 - 05:00 inside the Pentagon as a Department of Homeland Security liaison and senior adviser. Phil Hexit's past experience includes founding his own podcast production company called Embassy and Third and working on social media and podcast. So again, as it was with Hegsith, now with his brother Pete, they are the real DEI hires. Didn't earn it. Didn't earn it. Also, we learned uh
            • 05:00 - 05:30 yesterday, and we're getting more details this morning as Trump is vacationing in Mara Lago, uh Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegsith, brought his wife, who's also a former Fox News producer, to NATO meetings on Ukraine and a classified Pentagon briefing with the UK defense secretary. So just sharing with his wife and others additional classified information. Take a look at this headline right here.
            • 05:30 - 06:00 Trump suffers day of losses in his retribution campaign against law firm. So as Donald Trump is now vacationing at Mara Lago once again as a loser. The firm Jenner and Block won an injunction against Donald Trump from a Republican George W. Bush appointed judge in Washington DC. Then you had Wilmer Hail, another law firm. Uh there was a Republicanapp appointed judge as well in DC. They won against Donald Trump
            • 06:00 - 06:30 blocking his executive order. And then previously um we reported how the law firm Perkins Kuey, who Donald Trump targeted with an executive order, they beat Donald Trump and got an injunction against his executive order there as well. Um, and I also talked about in other hot takes how Judge Boseberg issued an injunction against uh the Trump regime's use of signal, not cell
            • 06:30 - 07:00 phone reception. Donald, signal for text communications because it violates the Presidential Records Act. another almost very tragic plane incident last night as well as Donald Trump uh was uh back in Florida for his vacation. New from Fox, a Delta plane uh and an Air Force jet nearly crashed last night in a loss of separation during Arlington National Cemetery flyover. The Federal Aviation
            • 07:00 - 07:30 Administration is investigating yet another incident after a Delta Airlines plane nearly crashed midair with a T38 Air Force jet Friday near Ronald Reagan, Washington National Airport just months after a January collision at the airport claimed 67 lives. Now, we previously reported here on the Midas Touch Network about JD Vance's disastrous visit to Greenland where literally no Greenlanders showed up. So, Vance and his wife Usha had to stay on a military
            • 07:30 - 08:00 base where they made fools of themselves and then waved to nobody. Here's the image that we made on the Midas Touch networks accounts out on the town having the time of my life with a bunch of friends. They're just all out of frame and they're all laughing as well. Wanted to share this with you. Midas got this exclusive yesterday of Virginia's GOP Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl Sears saying she doesn't understand why people
            • 08:00 - 08:30 are upset about jobs being lost in her state due to Doge and that it happens to everybody all the time. Play this clip. Now, I'm hearing about Doge and all of that, and yes, we don't want folks to lose their jobs. We have over 250,000 jobs that we've created since we've been in office. So, if you've lost your job, and how many here has ever lost a
            • 08:30 - 09:00 job? Oh, you mean it's not unusual? It happens to everybody all the time. Okay. and the media is making it out to be this huge huge things and I don't understand why. Or uh on Friday, Democratic Congress member Garcia held a town hall and gave the Midas Touch Network a shout out. Let's play this. So, what's next? How do we fix that? Fortunately, there's a young talented group of people that are
            • 09:00 - 09:30 sprouting up across this country that are building now these new YouTube sites. You some of you might know like Midas Touch for example. Absolutely. So that's right. So places like pl new new spaces like Midas touch like other other sites on YouTube are actually growing really quickly. And as Donald Trump is partying at Mara Lago, is he going to do a pink Birkin bag party once again? Is he going to do a Hermes bag party and show off their half a million
            • 09:30 - 10:00 dollar uh bags that they're all carrying around at Mara Lago while the people suffer? Is is is that what they're going to do? Is is that what they're doing there? Um the headlines are Dow Jones stocks plunge on hot inflation reading, weak consumer sentiment, treasury yield slide, gold hits record highs, things are not going good, and they know it on Fox as well. Here's how Fox uh closed out the week. Let's play this clip. So much woo, folks. This is a tough way to
            • 10:00 - 10:30 end the week if you're long the market. If you're long gold, you're happy. But uh Dow is losing about 724, the S&P down 113, the NASDAQ down 484. That will do it for us.
