The transcript highlights a significant political shift following the Democratic sweep of the U.S. Congress, with Democrats gaining control of both the House and Senate, flipping seven Senate seats and securing key state governorships. This outcome is described as a "blue tsunami," with widespread voter disillusionment over war, inflation, and the cost of living cited as primary reasons for the Republican defeat. Despite Donald Trump’s claims of a global economic depression and strong rally turnout, the actual results show a sharp decline in Republican support, with data indicating that many Trump 2024 voters shifted to Democrats in 2026. Market reactions are positive—stock indices surge and oil prices drop—refuting Trump’s economic predictions. Within the Republican Party, figures like Ron DeSantis and J.D. Vance openly criticize Trump’s leadership, calling it damaging and out of touch. Internal party divisions have intensified, with demands to expel Trump from the party due to his conduct and policies. The narrative emphasizes a turning point in American politics, where public trust in Trump has collapsed, and the Republican Party faces long-term challenges in recovery. The piece concludes with a call to action for citizens to stand against corruption and uphold moral clarity, while promoting transparency in financial tools like Wise.

He's MIA after Democrats had a full sweep. The House of Representatives, the Senate, state legislatures. The last post that Donald Trump made was around 11 hours ago where he was ranting and raving like a lunatic about state regime media Fox News and having build the Blasio on as a guest. Take a look at Donald Trump's daily schedule for today. He is nowhere to be found. You look at 8am, 11am, all closed to the press. Take a look right over here. The time magazine cover I voted with a massive sticker over Donald Trump space. Muzzling Donald Trump. A perfect encapsulation of the massive defeat that Donald Trump experienced now. Some of the White House staff are trying to get him to post or encourage him. So the official White House account posted. Thank you for your attention to this matter with some weird, creepy photo of Donald Trump that says, "PSA, Trump is still your president." What are you talking about? Donald Trump has been absolutely neutralized right now in a very big way by Democrats in the House and the Senate. That's what you're posting right now. I'll show you in a moment what Vice President J.D. Vance said because while Donald Trump has remained silent, J.D. Vance is basically saying, "Look, it's the economy. It's the war." We ran horrible campaigns, but the people are struggling. I'll show you what J.D. Vance's assessment was in just a moment. Take a look over here of Donald Trump's personal company, Trump media stock. It's down 46 percent today. Trump's stock is crashing. All of Trump's stock is crashing. Take a look at the actual markets right now. You know how Donald Trump said, "If Democrats win, it's going to be a bloodbath. We're going to be in a global economic depression." No. The Dow Jones industrial average, as of this recording, surged over 1,100 points as market opened for the first time since Democrats swept the midterm elections. The S&P was up 1.7 percent. The Nasdaq is up 2 percent. And also, oil prices decrease significantly on the news of the Democratic sweep because people now believe that Donald Trump's catastrophic never ending wars could potentially be restrained. Take a look at this. US oil prices crash below $93 a barrel as markets reacted to the midterm election results. And you know, whereas I don't think the stock market necessarily is what you point to in any meaningful way to actually describe the economy, I point that out because Donald Trump said we were going to have a stock market crash if Democrats won. And it's the exact opposite. Donald Trump will huff and puff and lie. But always remember, he is a massive fraud. He is a sex predator. He is a vial piece of trash. He is a loser. And that's every sound syllable, everything out of the guy's mouth is a lie. You stand up to him. You punch back hard. You're forceful. You speak with moral clarity. And you never give an inch. That's an important lesson that we all need to learn. And what's what we've always been talking about here at the minus touch network. Take a look at this map right here. And as Nate Silver says, if the remaining results go as expected, Democrats will hold governorships now in states totaling get this 392 electoral votes. Democrats took many state legislatures, including Texas, where Democrats control all branches of government in Texas. Also take a look at some of the data center, data center, moratorium that were on the various referendum in different states. So the 41 data center moratoriums Brad Carson says across the country are going 41 to zero. And nearly every case about 67 to 80% of people where data centers were on the ballot oppose data centers and have some form of blocking data centers from being built in the communities and cities where it was on the ballot. Folks, you have Ron DeSantis speaking out against Donald Trump and mega Republicans. Here's what DeSantis had to say this morning. He goes, this was an extinction level event for Republicans play this clip. But let's just be clear about what happened last night. This is close to an extinction level event for Republicans in many parts of the country as we have seen probably in the last 100 years. You have state regime media Fox saying this was a blue tsunami. The magnitude of the Democrats sweep cannot be understated here play this clip. Well, catch a wave. Yeah, it's a big blue wave. I'm characterizing as a big blue tsunami. Right. Well, good music to start the day. The nice day too. Here we go. The Democrats have seized control of both the House and the Senate. They managed to flip seven Senate seats. And Texas is going to see its first Democrat governor since 1995. All right, Lauren, lot to go out. Break it all down. Well, the magnitude of the Democratic sweep can't be understated here. As it stands right now, Democrats have 228 seats in the House 54 in the Senate. Just take a look at this graphic that state regime media Fox aired as well. Because remember after 2024, there was a lot of talk about Donald Trump having young male voters and having this coalition of young male voters. Well, look at this right over here. Fox just aired a graphic showing 65% of men under 30 supported Democratic candidates. And I think, look, as a man who does this podcast, it's always been very important for me to make it very clear that Donald Trump's, I mean, for everybody, but that Donald Trump is the worst role model for everybody in this country. Let me be very clear. But as I try to mentor, you know, young men, I always say, never behave like that. Now, don't punch down to marginalized communities. Don't bully people. Keep your word. Be honest. Have integrity. That to me, you know, in the magazine, like, oh, alpha, alpha, this alpha, that I said, none of that behavior is any of that. Their behavior is weak and pathetic and mean and bullying and loser behavior. And we need to stand up against it. That's my advice generally to everybody, but I just wanted to, uh, to point that out also on state regime media fox. You had another host this morning talk about what a horrible night it was. Play this clip. And by the way, for people who are now writing the epitaph for the, the Republican party for the GOP, and that was a horrible night last night. That was a blue tsunami wrapped in a cat five hurricane. I mean, it's a losing Kansas and in South Carolina. And the way they were wiped out in Texas, yeah, big cause for concern. And on CNN, the hosts we're talking about, you know, how the markets are actually reacting very favorably to Trump getting this generational once in a century, shellacking and they like it. And they actually like it. And it just goes to show you what a drag actually on the markets, Donald Trump was, which he always boasted about. Obviously, he's been the biggest destructive force on economy, but listen to what they said in CNN. Play this clip. These Democrats were going to have, they expected a democratic victory, but nothing quite like this. You can see the Dow is poised for a major major gain today. Also, tech stocks are fueling this. The reason is that markets are priced for perfection. And when they misjudge something, they need to recalibrate and we're seeing a recalibration. Cats are amazing animals, but I've got news for you.

One of the things the data analyst on our side obsessed over was composition, whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blow out, the data kept on telling us the same story. And some states turnout was merely okay. In other states, it was downright amazing. And in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team. Our people were showing up. So I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? No, he told me we might do better than the polls suggest, but the data is telling us that a lot of Trump vans 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us. Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. And he goes in Florida, for example, the electorate was nine points more Republican than Democrat. Just a couple of points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly, there were places we could have done better on turnout, but the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump and vans in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026. There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic message wasn't sharp enough down the stretch. I'm sure that's true. But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost anyone. Another pollster, one of the smartest people I know in politics told me yesterday, we'd lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us. What could cause them to come back on our team? The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were and the war focus on the cost of living inflation, put America first, change our relationship to Israel. Our voters showed up and the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gas lighting, expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement. The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night is what he's saying. The catastrophic war that your regime got into now. I just want to share this with you as well. Remember heading into the midterm elections, you had Donald Trump claiming that his midterm rallies changed everything and Republicans were going to show up strong. Remember that here playing this clip. Be a great rally also. That was fantastic. What did you think? Did you like it? Pretty good, right? Pretty good and we have another big one. So I think these rallies have changed everything and changed a lot of things have changed. I think a lot of people that maybe we're having trouble won't have so much trouble, but I feel I owe it to the Republican Party. I love the party. I love the people in the Republican Party. Or remember Maga Mike Johnson insisting the other day that Republicans will keep and grow their house majority play this clip. Can you give me a number? How many seats are you going to have never before? I'm not going to prognosis. But I'm telling you, we will keep and grow the house majority. And I've had the smallest one in US history. So any improvement is free. Or when R&C chair Joe Grudders said that this is what he said yesterday, we will win all seven toss-up senate seats play this clip. I think we win all seven of those toss-up senate seats. I think we hold the senate. I think so. Of course that didn't happen. These people lie about literally every single thing. Or remember when Donald Trump said that there would be an economic depression if Democrats took control of the House in the Senate play this clip. If the Democrats win, you will have a 1929 style economic depression. And I don't like saying it, but they don't know what the hell they're doing. They don't know what they're doing. Now I also want to share this with you as well because one of the main reasons that Marjorie Taylor Green and some other Maga Republicans were purged from Magas because they wanted the Epstein files released and Trump wanted to cover up the child's sex trafficking because Trump saw all over the Epstein files. Here's DeSantis talking about the Epstein files and how he's like, I would watch these ads. And it would say, these Republicans didn't want to release the Epstein files. And I'm like, how do you vote to not release the Epstein files? So even DeSantis is going there today against Donald Trump. And as I said, this is a major reckoning for Donald Trump. Play this clip of DeSantis. And they were running. I mean, these congressmen, you know, I'm like watching these. I'm watching the World Series. I see the ad, you know, so and so voted against releasing the Epstein files. And I'm like, you know, that's a bad vote. We ran as Republicans on saying we need to do that. And then you actually have people in the Congress voting against release when the attorney general said she had all the all this horrific stuff on her desk and that people were going to be held accountable. It's untenable when you. And then Marjorie Taylor Greene's message that she posted was the following. If the GOP wants any chance in the future, it will have to kick Donald Trump out of the party. He's absolutely destroyed it. And the current state of the GOP is warmongering corrupt, corporate focused entity that does not at all reflect the conservative values of its voters. It's a lie. But I highly doubt they will do it. Many elected Republicans only won because of his endorsement. And those in his administration are going to defend him and stay loyal in hopes for partners. They will probably blame everyone and everything else and continue to worsen Trump. And if that remains their course, Republicans won't be able to win nationally for decades. I should also note. Maga Mike Johnson said he's stepping down from leadership. I will do another video of that as the next video this morning. Then Maga Mike has effectively quit. There you have it.
