In legal trouble, she's been named in a court document related to. Donald Trump's true social network. Have that coming up for you. Not the only member of the Trump administration who has found themselves an illegal quagmire. We also have Pete Hexeth with calls of impeachment growing very loudly. Now, if you don't know, Congress is back, baby. They're back to go to D.C. to do nothing. I mean, when's the last time they did something? But they're there. They're answering questions. And here's one member of Congress saying that that mother effer needs to be impeached. And last question. Do you think it's time to impeach? Pete Hexeth? Every day of the week, it is time to do that. Every single day of the week. With this last bombshell that's dropped about the Secretary of Army resigning, there are no people, no civilians at the top who have the credibility and the support of our military. The military need to know that they have someone looking out for them. That is not Pete Hexeth. This guy should be impeached, but he should go to jail. And he can take all of his little exercise routines and his little sorry Fox News commentating failures with him. Not to be outdone, Sarah McBride was also asked by Midas Touch, and here's what she had to say. Congresswoman, do you think it's time for Pete Hexeth to be impeached? Absolutely. I was one of the first members to support the impeachment resolution that was introduced by Representative Ansari earlier this year. Look, the reality is that from day one during his tenure at the Pentagon, Pete Hexeth has fomented cultural wars and started forever wars. He is someone who is willing to pursue an ideological agenda at all costs, no matter how much it leaves our nation and our military weaker and less secure. But it's not just ideological with Pete Hexeth, it's also insecurity. Pete Hexeth cannot handle having anyone who is smarter than him around him, which is why we're seeing him fire generals, why we see people resigning who have more qualifications, than him, who are under him, because the man is fundamentally unwilling to have anyone who makes him question his own superiority surrounding him, and that unfortunately excludes pretty much everyone. Got it. Thank you, Congresswoman. Appreciate it. Nancy Mace, for some reason holding a dog, I don't know why, was also asked, and here's what she said. They're there, and hopefully they get enough R&R that they need to continue the mission, and we appreciate them on the mission. If it were a report card, what grade would you give Pete Hexeth? I think he's doing a great job. I like it. I like change. I like doing things more efficiently. It's such a bureaucracy over there. Making it more efficient, run better, faster, more, and more economically efficient is a good thing. Would you say that Pete Hexeth is doing a good job? I'd say he's doing a good job doing a bad job, but he's certainly not making us safer at all. Now, he's not the only one that has found himself legally in trouble, because we have Natalie Harp here, who's been dragged into a legal battle, for Donald Trump's $100,000 post. Now, if you don't know, Donald Trump owns his own social network called True Social, and I call it his blog because he's the only person on it. He's the only person that people pay attention to that posts on it, and what he's doing is he is now allowing people and companies faster access to his posts, which move markets, for $100,000 a pop, okay? And that has put him and Natalie Harp in legal jeopardy, says here Natalie Harp, the president's 35-year-old human printer was among the top aides. Name dropped in a Monday court filing seeking a preliminary injunction that would prohibit both her and Trump from posting or allowing to be posted announcements on True Social, so long as Truth API is in operation, goes on to say here, Truth API, as I said, is a new service introduced by Trump Media that would grant users early access to the president's post in exchange for a staggering $100,000 post, $100,000, oh, it's a month. I thought it was a year, $100,000 a month, really nice. The feature would give high-flying users like Wall Street firms an early peek at Trump's posts on U.S. policy and tariffs, and it should be illegal. Truth API was hit with a lawsuit filed by The Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, which claimed it violated First and Fifth Amendment rights. Trump is trying to enrich himself by privatizing government information that he has no right to sell. That's a good point. We won't let it stand, says here the Monday court filing named Trump, Harp, White House deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, the executive office of the president and the White House, along with, quote, "others who are in active concert or participation." The plaintiffs asked the court to stop the identified officials from posting or allowing to be posted announcements from Donald Trump. And as you can see here, there is her name, Natalie Harp, in the PDF. Now, we actually have Adam Mockler, who confronted the true social communications director, comms person, about this on CNN. And here's how she confronted him. - I've confronted this issue. - Pointed it out perfectly. The Iran war could have been stopped with a war powers resolution after 60 days. And that helps the American people a lot on affordability, on gas prices. Knowing that the Strait of Hormuz is open again would be nice. I also think we need a massive anti-corruption push. We need to be investigating some of the corruption happening. For example, Donald Trump is selling early access to his true social for $100,000 a month, where you can get insider information about stocks in the Iran war. You're the communications advisor for truth social. How do you justify that? - It's not insider information. It's what other companies are doing. This is what competitors are doing. - Well, $100,000 a month is only able for like 100,000. - They're not getting insider trading information. They're getting early access. And this happens on X. This happens with every other competitor. But to the Tallarico point, I would love to be able to answer that. I worked on Senator Cruz's Senate race in 2024, and there was a large hysteria. I don't know if you remember, that Senator Cruz was gonna lose Texas. And he won by eight and a half points. And I think we're gonna see the same thing in this race with Ken Paxton and Tallarico. We've had 189 consecutive GOP statewide wins in Texas. The last Senator elected to Texas, that was the Democrat, was in 1988. And the one that was appointed was in, I think, 1993. This is like saying we're gonna have a Republican governor, as much as I love Steve Hilton, in the state of California. - Well, but the polls, the polls are much closer in Texas. - The polls are closer. - With the Democrats and Republicans than they are here in California. - They are closer. - Much closer. - And I haven't seen a lot of momentum out of, and I will be, to be fair, out of Ken Paxton's race at his Senate campaign. And I think as we get closer to the November election, we will see a little bit more from him. But Texas is a very traditional state, and Tallarico has an incredibly high uphill battle. - Adam mentioned the stakes, how he sees it, in terms of what would a Democratic Senate be. What is a Republican Senate? What's the stakes for you? - Well, for me, it's continuing on President Trump's legacy. And if we are very likely gonna lose the House, in my opinion, I think we have some chance to win the House, but it's looking at about a 60/40 that we lose it, that the Republicans lose. And I think that the Senate will hold as a safeguard to continue at least being able to not weaponize the entire next two years against President Trump, tied up in impeachments. I would also like to continue to see deportations. I would love to see President Trump's continuation of the ability to tariff and make America great. - I mean, I don't know what the legacy is that you're protecting. Is it like the Iran war that's failing? Is it the Epstein files? Is it the Truth Social that you kind of just dodged away from? The reality is, $100,000 is a very high barrier of entry. If you wanna have that barrier of entry, you have to already be some sort of firm or have a lot of money. Other platforms aren't selling access to the president's early Truth Social posts. I don't know what legacy you're defending, but he's gonna go down as one of the most corrupt presidents in American history. - Trump Media and Technology Group is a publicly traded company with a fiduciary duty to their shareholders. Early access API, which is what you're talking about, is done by all of the competitors. This is not something that the president has done. This is something that the company has done. - Which platforms have the competitors as the president on? Like, is the president making announcements on Twitter or on Instagram? - All of his Truth Social posts end up on every other single platform. - But you get early access-- - But it's on Truth Social first, right? You just beat your own argument. can subscribe like everybody else to Early Access. Okay, thanks. The communications advisor for Truth Social. I mean, I just got to say like, sure, the $100,000 a month for his posts, awful, don't like it, should be illegal. But let's also point out that Donald Trump has made over 1000 stock trades just in June alone made anywhere from 78 million to $263 million. We have a long road to go because when Trump supporters were confronted with him making $2.4 billion in the last year, here's how they responded. How much money did Donald Trump earn in office last year? Oh my God, probably zero. Zero? Okay. How much money did he earn in office last year? I believe he earned 400,000, but he gave it to charity. But also like his businesses, how much money did he? Don't know that. Do you know how much money Trump made last year? Take a salary. No, I don't. Do you want to take a guess? So you say there could be a winner? A billion. Billion. Do you want to guess how much money Trump made last year? Two billion. He wins $2.4 billion he made last year while president. That's great. That's great. Did you buy his meme coin? No, no. Do you give him one out for free? I'm not giving one out for free, but. My people ahead of us now. No, I got to get in line. Infuriating, right? Infuriating. Here's one more person with a dark MAGA shirt being asked if there's anything that would happen to stop their support of Trump. What would it take for you to stop supporting Donald Trump? The end of the earth. That's it, buddy. What if he profited billions of dollars off of being president? Would that make you question? Well, you again, that's just, you know, what everybody keeps saying in the media and so forth. I mean, he's not taking any salary or anything, right? So not taking $400,000 a year, but he's making $2.4 billion a year. Well, yes. But, you know, just because he's president doesn't mean that his his companies that are run by his sons are going to stop. You know, I mean, if I if I was president and I had five pounds of gold and when I came president, it was only two cents an ounce. And then during my presidency, it was $100 an ounce. You're going to say that I'm making money because I'm the president. Because the gold prices went up? No. But he made it off like crypto ventures and stuff. It's not. It's great. I made money off of crypto, too. But it was his coin. Like he was charging for every single. I understand his meme coin. And, you know, and if you had bought Milana's meme coin, it got a rug pull and a lot of people lost money. You got to that there. You just have to be smart at crypto, unfortunately. And I don't know what's going on, but Alex Jones is literally the voice of reason. He's actually calling out the insider trading and the corruption. I'm not on the Trump train, but I'm still hoping some sanity can come into the situation. But at a certain point, I'm going to have to 100 percent even abandon that if this continues, because this is getting crazier and crazier and stupider and stupider and more stuff he did is just bonkers and more open insider trading, more open corruption where they just advertise pay us money. We'll give you insider trading information. They put out new. Promos about it that are the definition of insider trading. What about all of us that signed on to Trump and promoted him and went through hell for him? So, yeah, it's going to be a long ways between now and Donald Trump supporters actually breaking from him. I am actually beside myself that we have folks that are like, no, he shouldn't make money. He's not taking a salary. Do you understand? Like if I gave you four dollars and you gave me back one hundred thousand, do you think you'd make that deal? Of course, that's literally what's happening with Donald. Trump not taking a salary. He is making money like like no one could believe off of information that he really should not be allowed to sell. So we're going to keep following this. I mean, we do know that the stuff that's happening in the country negatively affecting his voters and some voters are dropping him. We have Alex Jones who's actually saying the truth about Donald Trump. So I think that's like a canary in the coal mine. We're going to keep following this if we do want to follow along, whether it's with the impeachment or Donald Trump's corruption. Do. Do hit like subscribe and I'll see you in the next one.
