Topics
Ben Meiselas: 今天早上对于特朗普来说是灾难性的一天。首先,他的预算案因为MAGA共和党人的反对而陷入僵局,至少有12名议员表示反对。其次,美国的就业数据大幅下降,六月份私营部门减少了33,000个工作岗位,远低于预期的增加100,000个。我认为特朗普政府的经济政策存在严重问题,他们一直在试图掩盖经济的真实情况,但数据不会说谎。我一直试图向观众解释,美国经济的基本面并不像他们宣传的那么强劲。货运量下降、美元疲软、国际抵制等因素都表明美国经济正在走下坡路。特朗普的贸易政策,特别是关税,正在损害美国经济,导致通货膨胀和就业岗位流失。我认为我们需要改变方向,采取更加务实的经济政策,才能真正改善美国人民的生活。 Maria Bartiromo: 特朗普总统认为这项法案将促进经济增长。我们正在等待五月份的就业数据。预计ADP数据将增加95,000个。我们现在看到的数据显示就业岗位实际上在下降,ADP下降了33,000个。该法案包括250亿美元用于导弹防御系统。我想了解你对国防的看法,以及特朗普在社交媒体上发布的关于增长的言论。 John: 今天最大的意外是ADP关于私营部门就业的报告。该报告显示就业岗位减少了33,000个。劳动力市场正在软化,趋于平缓。我认为公司可能会提高价格以应对更高的关税,但我不认为消费者会做出积极的反应。他们会减少支出。因此,由于关税导致的价格上涨将受到限制。最终,关税可能更多地增加联邦收入,减少联邦赤字,而不是增加价格通胀。 Ashley: 如果政府经营杂货店,人们就不必提高价格。 Jim Jordan: 我认为我们已经得到了最好的结果。我认为这是一项很好的立法。政治就像体育,势头很重要。现在所有的势头都在我们这边。总统已经确保了边境安全。我们在伊朗进行了一次了不起的行动。我们在北约也取得了一些进展。我认为我们应该通过这项法案,继续推进我们告诉选民要做的事情。 Brooke Rollins: 我坚信,我们迟早会实现100%的合法劳动力。不会有任何大赦。我们将确保所有法律都得到遵守。特朗普总统是“美国优先”愿景的架构师。重要的是要认识到,在美国的数百万非法移民中,只有1%在农业领域工作。我认为很多事情都被颠倒了。这就是为什么总统说我们需要关注大城市和庇护城市,并将犯罪分子转移出去。我们必须建立一个100%合法的劳动力系统,同时确保我们的食物供应安全和充足。 Donald Trump: 我刚刚与越南达成了一项贸易协议。这将是我们两国之间的一项伟大的合作协议。越南将对运往我国的所有商品征收20%的关税,对任何转运征收40%的关税。作为回报,越南将做一些他们从未做过的事情,给美利坚合众国22万美元。 Jim McGovern: 共和党人为枪支消音器提供20亿美元的税收减免,却削减弱势家庭的SNAP福利。那些削减食物福利,同时给杰夫·贝佐斯减税的共和党人,我们和他们价值观不同。削减食物福利是一种恶劣的行为,那些从饥饿的家庭手中夺走食物的人应该下地狱。

Oof, a devastating morning for Donald Trump as the disastrous budget bill is in limbo with MAGA Republicans not supportive of it. At least 12 holdouts so far. We'll see what happens. Also, jobs are plummeting here in the United States. The U.S. private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June, badly missing expectations for a 100,000 job increase. Um,

This is according to the latest payroll ADP data. This was the moment on Fox where Maria Bartiromo was ready to spike the football. She knew that Donald Trump would be watching this and she was ready to announce that there were 95,000 to 100,000 jobs that were going to be created. She was going to say, look, all of Donald Trump's plans have been working. And then she had to announce what we've been telling you

here on the Midas Touch Network is happening, that jobs are plummeting. Watch this moment and you see how upset she gets. Let's play this clip. Of course, President Trump is talking about this bill leading to growth in the economy. We are waiting any moment now to get the jobs numbers for the month of May. The expectations call for the ADP numbers to be up 95,000 for the month.

of June, rather. It's the June jobs data. And we'll, of course, right now, seeing the number actually show a decline in jobs, down 33,000 on ADP. The bill includes $25 billion for the Golden Dome,

the missile defense system senator you introduced a bill supporting the construction of that system i want to get your take on on defense and whether or not now about an hour before that donald trump posted on his social media platform nobody wants to talk about growth which will be the primary reason that the big beautiful bill will be one of the most successful pieces of legislation ever passed

The growth has already begun at levels never seen before. Trillions of dollars are now being invested into the USA more than ever before. Likewise, hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs are filling up the coffers of treasury, dot, dot, dot. He goes on to say more. It's all lies though. What we're trying to explain to you here on the Midas Touch Network is that the fundamentals of the United States economy is not strong anymore.

Do not believe anybody who tells you otherwise. And I'll give you the data points right now. Shipping, we continue to cover here on the Midas Touch Network that these ships are not coming into our ports in Los Angeles and throughout California for that matter. That's a problem. If the ships aren't coming in with products and goods,

then that also means that it impacts trucking it means that american is america is not trading the way it used to that is a big problem we also know that the dollar is off to its weakest start since 1973 what does that tell us it tells us that money is being moved out of

of the United States and the world is seeing the United States less as the world reserve currency that is a big problem we're also seeing boycotts of the United States from Canada and elsewhere we're seeing tourism boycotts and setting aside boycotts who wants to come to the United States when you can end up in alligator Alcatraz or some concentration camp and have the Trump regime say

We don't even know where you are anymore once they send you to who knows where. That is a major issue. All those factors...

It shouldn't come as a surprise. I know that the business networks are like an unexpected drop. We expect there's nothing unexpected about this. We know the impact of tariffs. We know it's devastating. We know it's inflationary. That's why core inflation was unexpectedly up last month, 2.7% core inflation. That's

expected to me because we know what tariffs do. We know what the impact of these policies. We know when China is not providing rare earth minerals to the United States at the levels it did before. That's a problem for our manufacturing. So you can try to Ponzi scheme this economy, but it's all BS because I'm telling you what the fundamentals are right now.

And also, we're doing a home. New home sales are down significantly. Construction is down significantly anyway. So then Fox had to pivot because their day was going to be, look, celebration, growth. Everything's going great, which was all Ponzi scheme economy stuff anyway. So then watch what happens on Fox. Here, play this clip. Trump would like to sign this right before the July 4th holiday to celebrate freedom and independence. John, we are 30 minutes away from the opening bell.

for Wednesday in a holiday shortened week. Your thoughts? Well, our big surprise today had to be that ADP report on private sector employment. That was down by 33,000 jobs. The labor market is softening. It's flattening out.

And that tells me that companies can go ahead and increase prices in response to higher tariffs. But I don't think that consumers are going to respond positively. They'll pull back on spending. So any increased prices

by inflation because of tariffs will be quite limited. Ultimately, tariffs may do more to increase federal revenues, reduce the federal deficit than to add to price inflation. And of course, all this adds up to lower than expected interest rates by the end of this year. - Yeah, great point. Markets have turned negative now 30 minutes before the open on the heels of that weaker than expected June ADP report. That's why President Trump keeps talking about growth, Ashley.

John, you just mentioned, you know, people will have to raise prices not in Mamdani's New York, Ashley. No, no, no, no. Not if the government is running the grocery stores. So then in the usual humiliation ritual routine, the MAGA Republicans who consider themselves moderates and other MAGA Republicans who are not who don't consider themselves as such.

the 12 holdouts or so, you start to see them walk into the White House. You have people like Congress member David Valadao from, I think he's California's 22nd. You have a New York Congress member Lawler who said that he wouldn't vote for those things. But then remember the video I made this morning. In addition to those people who were entering the White House, I mean, you had Andy Harris who leads the Freedom Caucus, no moderate. Ralph Norman,

Andy Ogles, Chip Roy, again, none of these people are moderates. I mentioned Valadao, Thomas Massey, Warren Davidson, Andy Biggs, Spars. I mean, all these Congress members have said that they're not going to vote for this thing in its current form. So Donald Trump's trying to force them to vote for it via social media. The one big beautiful deal is all about growth. If passed, America will have an economic renaissance.

This is what you've said about all of your companies, which you've bankrupted before. Let's be clear who Donald Trump is. He is a felon. He is a sexual abuser. He is a fraud. He was found liable on 34 felony counts.

of fraud, right? He was, he's bankrupted business after business, after business. This is his same shtick. We're going to make Atlantic city so big. People are going to get so rich. And then the casinos go out of business. We're going to make everybody. So this goes out of business. This is his whole life is a life of failure. And we have to be like, dude, you're the worst business person ever. You destroy everything.

And then what he does is he blames it on people. So now who's his target? The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, who he calls too late Jerome Powell. And so when he says too late, what's he setting up for? Exactly what he did to Dr. Fauci. He's trying to Dr. Fauci Jerome Powell, who Trump appointed Jerome Powell. And he's going to go, oh, it would have been magnificent. Everything would have been so,

great. I told you, but he was too late, Powell. He did it. It was his fault. That's what they were doing. So now Donald Trump has his stooges, MAGA Republicans like

um, sexual abuse cover upper, uh, Jim Jordan. You get a trend here with these MAGA Republicans, Jim Jordan, who covered up sexual abuse at his prior job before going to Congress, who now leads the set, the, uh, house judiciary committee, but he's never passed the bar exam and he's not a licensed lawyer. Go figure. That's who they have as the head of the judiciary. Here's what he has to say. It's as good as it's going to get. So just, just pass it.

It's as good as it's going to get. So just pass it. You're playing. I think we probably got as good a product as we're going to get. And again, I think it's good legislation. The other thing I would point out is...

Politics is like sport. Momentum matters. And right now, all the momentum is on our side. I mean, the president has secured the border. We had this amazing operation in Iran. We have, you know, all the other things that happened in NATO where the countries are now going to any up any up five percent. So we're on a roll and now we're going to stop this legislation, which, again, lets families keep more of their money.

I think we've got to be careful about that. I think it's best if we just pass this and get moving and keep moving on the things we told the voters we were going to do.

Then they have, it's like the worst, it's like the dumbest crew of people. Then you've got Donald Trump's Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, and her thesis is that in the farming industry, she goes, only 1% of people who work in our agriculture industry on farms, only 1% are undocumented.

That's what you really think. Those are the numbers you're going with. You think only 1% of farm workers are undocumented. You idiot play this clip. So I believe sincerely, we will get to a 100% legal workforce sooner rather than later. There will be zero amnesty. We will ensure all laws are followed, but.

President Trump is the architect of the America First vision. That's kind of hard. We're working. 42 percent of farm workers are undocumented, according to your department. Well, it is important to realize that of the millions, perhaps tens of millions that illegal aliens that are here in America, only one percent of those are in the farm industry.

industry. So I think a lot of this gets topsy-turvy, and that's why the president has said we need to focus on the big cities, on L.A., on New York, on the sanctuary cities, where a lot of these illegal aliens, the criminal pieces, all of them are being housed and really working to move that out. But never forget or take our eye off the ball

that we really have to have a system with 100% legal workforce, but doing it in a cadence where you're not imploding the food supply. Listen, we lose our abundant food supply. We have real national security implications in this country. So it's supporting the farmers and ranchers. It's effectuating his vision of 100% legal workforce, but also ensuring that our food supplies stay safe and abundant.

You know, and that's the thing. I mean, you could be like, oh man, don't call people idiots. No, I mean, what, snap out of it, right? Like, what are they talking about? Every word out of their mouth all day are lies and they're lies that hurt us. Just recognize that a massive portion of our farming industry is undocumented migrants. It is what it is. Then let's come up with a comprehensive policy to address that, to not treat them as criminals, to realize that they're being productive

people to our country. Let them live a life with dignity. And let's just figure this thing out. Let's get the criminals out. Let's have strong borders. Stop with this freaking BS. Americans are sick of this crap. And you said you all said you were going to make things more affordable. You all said you were going to make housing more affordable. Things would be cheaper. There would be no war in Ukraine in 24 hours, no war in Gaza. But talk is cheap.

And all Donald Trump is doing is making deals for himself. Look what he announces. He just announced this. I just made a trade deal with Vietnam. Details to follow. Okay, is this a comprehensive trade deal that is hundreds of pages long that addresses comprehensive systemic trade issues? Because that's what a freaking trade deal is, not some propaganda statement. Oh,

Wait, in Ho Chi Minh City, the Trump Organization is going to do a $1.5 billion golf project in northern Vietnam upon completion. Oh, and the Trump Organization is going to manage it. What does it really mean? It means that they're not really going to be making any capital investments themselves. They're going to attach their name to it. They'll probably just attach their name to some management company and make a massive amount of money in licensing fees and other fees for doing minimal work.

in order to do some quid pro quo deal with Vietnam. But is this really a deal? Let's take a look at the deal because first off, trade deals have to be passed by Congress. It's not by fiat, by a dictator, but it's via social media. So here's what Trump says. It is my great honor.

to announce that I just made a trade deal with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam after speaking with Tho Lam, the highly respected General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Okay, it will be a great deal of cooperation between our two countries. The terms are that Vietnam will pay the United States a 20% tariff on any and all goods sent into our territory and a 40% tariff on any transshipping. In return, Vietnam will do something that they have never done before, give the United States of America $220,000

Oh, because there's such a massive demand in Vietnam for what American products are worth.

we making here that there's this massive demand in Vietnam? Relatively, Vietnam is not a wealthy nation. The reason that there's a trade deficit is because the United States is wealthy. Vietnam is developing. So naturally, their products are cheaper. We're bringing in more here than they can afford to buy from us here in the United States. It's the most basic

You don't even have to go to school for economics to realize that a trade deficit is not a tariff. It is a reflection often on the disparity of wealth between nations. And they're not paying us 40%. You are taxing.

20%. You're taxing Americans 20% on products from Vietnam. And so now if a good goes from China to Vietnam, to the United States, now 40% of a tax from China. So now those goods that were being using Vietnam as a go around will now tax the American consumer. 40% the American company pays the tariff. This is just the stupidest stuff that we're seeing when they keep on claiming one, that these are trade deals and two,

They act like Vietnam's paying. Vietnam's not paying us anything. The hell are you talking about? Oh, and then finally, Donald Trump posts the following. A photo of an alligator.

bragging about the alligators eating migrants at Alligator Alcatraz, a concentration camp in Florida. So that's what's going on in the Trump regime today. Oh, I might as well show you this. This is what's going on on the floor right now. Democrats fighting back. Here's Democratic Congress member Jim McGovern. Here's what he's got to say. Let's just watch this clip. Let's play it. So I said to my Republican colleagues,

What's wrong with you people? In this bill, you provide a $2 billion tax break for gun silencers, but you cut SNAP benefits for vulnerable families, which, by the way, is on average $2 per person per meal. Jesus Christ, what are you people thinking? I reserve my time. Gentlemen, the reserve is time. And finally, here's one more clip of Congressmember McGovern. Let's play it.

and an attack on this most basic, effective program that is about food. You can live without a lot of things, but you can't live without food. So, Mr. Speaker, for those Republicans who think that it's OK to give Jeff Bezos a tax cut and at the same time cut food benefits for struggling families, let me say clearly, we don't share the same values.

We don't share the same values. Unloading billions of dollars in new costs on states, money they do not have, will force them to cut benefits and throw needy people off of SNAP. It is a rotten thing to do. And I believe there's a special place in hell for people who take food away from veterans, from seniors, from children, from former foster youth,

and from hungry families. This is sick. This is disgusting. I yield back. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers.
