Trump Has Catastrophic Monday as Reckoning Begins

Meanwhile, geopolitical developments show a growing alignment between Iran, China, and Russia, challenging U.S. influence in the region. The economic narrative is undermined by Trump’s misleading statements about inflation and affordability, despite evidence of rising wages and stable employment. The piece concludes by promoting Brodo as a nutritious, all-natural bone broth alternative, emphasizing its health benefits and accessibility. Overall, the content combines financial advice with a critical political commentary, framing Trump’s campaign as both harmful and ineffective amid a broader trend of voter disillusionment and rising global realignments.

Donald Trump is not handling this well. Election day is here less than 24 hours away from election day. The blue wave is already forming. Maga Republicans are pissed. Maga Republicans leaking to Politico the following. At least when Barack Obama was president, he only screwed his enemies, never his friends. And then others were saying, "Yeah, I think John Eustid's ass and Nicki Minaj's a great, great closing message there," Donald. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is ranting and raving like a lunatic on social media. What else is new? And he's posting the ballots in Alaska and he's just saying, "Scam! Nobody knows what the word incumbent means. It's too difficult. Nobody knows Republican incumbent means Republican incumbent. You need a 190 IQ for that." He's continuing to post-arranged AI photos of his face superimposed on the face of Elvis. And this as all of the polls are showing that blue wave is indeed real. Whether you look at the New York Times, CNN, a poll showing Democrats ahead in all seven of the states likely is to decide the Senate. And I think there will be some additional surprises as well. Also, Atlas Intel, which is the most accurate pollster of 2024, just released their final poll, showing Democrats up 14 on the generic ballot. This would be a generational wipeout for Republicans. So with all of that going on, what's Donald Trump doing? Well, he went on this right-wing New York Post propaganda podcast and Donald Trump started saying, "Okay, okay. Well, if we lose, I'm going to become Mr. Vito. That's what you call me. I'll do Vito's, then I'll do deals, because you know I could do deals. Watch Donald Trump on this New York Post podcast saying, "I'll be Mr. Vito," here, play this clip. We're not going to let that happen. You still be able to do what you do work with Democrats even if they do. Well, if that happens, I guess I'll become Mr. Vito. I'm not going to let him do it. And then at some point, we'll probably make deals. That's what's happened. I mean, this is then the reporter asked him, "So, can you promise the voters that we'll see $2 gas line again, $2 a gallon?" And Donald Trump's, "Oh, it's going to be way less. It's going to be you'll see, we're going to do a deal with Iran. It's going to be amazing." Here's what he says. Into us made someplace else. They may come here and there were no tariffs. We are doing better than we've ever done as a country. We'll be, say, $2 gas again. Oh, you'll see less. So, when I started, when I had to go to, I said, we're going to have to do a detour, go to a rent. You know, I knew what was going to happen. The price would go up. Then he says, "You know what, though? This really hasn't even been a war. There hasn't even been fighting. There's not a lot of fighting taking place." Here play this clip. No clear does. When you think about it, we're not fighting right now. It's, you know, much of this war we haven't really been fighting. We fought and we didn't very hard a couple of times. There was that back and watched right now then. And then, of course, he's already setting up for the election was rigged. It was faked. Everything's unfair. The New York Post reporter Miranda Devine, she says, "Are you confident that these elections will be secure?" He's like, "No. Look at Alaska. Look at what's happening in Alaska." I mean, what's happening in Alaska? Where you even had the Republican State Attorney General's Office said that your arguments are frivolous. The Republican led Supreme Court in Alaska throughout and rejected this a long time ago. What are you even talking about? Here, just play this clip. Do you, are you confident that these elections will be secure that you've managed to. No. Well, look, when you have Alaska, where they look for a guy, not only, you know, people don't even look like Dan Sullivan. And then Donald Trump's like a lot of people don't know what incumbent means. It's a very hard word for people. The word incumbent. People don't know what it means. Play this clip. Something about Republican incumbent, tiny little, you know, letters on the bottom. A lot of people don't know what that means. Incumbent. What does that mean? Incumbent. They have no idea. So what are they doing? And Donald Trump sending out his secret weapon, Don Jr. is now campaigning on the final day. Really, Don Jr. I would say where has he been, but he's been grifting over and over again at the expense of the American people. No wonder corruption and the economy are the top two issues that voters are focused on heading into the election, because they're an extricably intertwined, right? I mean, the corruption while the American people are suffering, the Trump family is quite literally making billions of dollars. Don Jr. does what the Trump Magna Propaganda's do. He lies and he wants to scare people. He was speaking in New York and he goes, "The Democrats are going to transgender your child. They're going to transgender your three-year-old. You send them to school. They chop off the penis." What are these people talking about? Like, what world are you? Just make up fake, deranged stuff. And it's like, disgusting that this is what you're thinking about three-year-old. What are you even, what are you even saying on a day that this isn't what's happening here? Play this clip. They're saying these things. They want to let the transgender things not an issue. We just want to go after your three-year-olds without parental consent. Then they send out their other secret weapon. The Magna Republican send out their Republican Wisconsin congressional candidate, Michael Alfonso. This is the new Magna Prince they're calling him. He's the son-in-law of Sean Duffy. And he goes, "I'm 26 years home, but all poles are fake. There's no such thing as a real pole." This is what Duffy's son-in-law, who's the Magna Candidate of Wisconsin. This is what they look like right now. I don't know what's even going on with the eyebrows. What is going on here? Play this clip. Look, I know I'm only 26 years old, but I've never seen a pole that was real. Every single one is fake. Why are we suddenly going to start believing that these poles are actually showing reality? They're telling you that Republicans are down everywhere from Kansas to Alaska. That's not true. Republicans don't answer poles. I've talked to people all over the district. Not a single one has had a polling call and I'll tell you what, they are excited to get out and vote not just for their futures but their kids futures and their grandkids futures. Then you had JD Vance spewing a bunch of nonsense, play this clip. But by re-electing Donald J. Trump two years later, the men and women of this district stood tall for common sense. They stood cults, stood strong for patriotism and they sent a message that Rome was sick of being left behind by its leaders. This morning, you then had RNC chair Joe Grudders. He was on news nation and he was asked, so do you think it's like good strategy that Donald Trump is bragging about how people wouldn't even be able to afford a burger and a desert if he were to give them $5,000 because Mar-a-Lago is so expensive. Like this is what he's going around saying on the campaign trail and also he actually hasn't given people $5,000 before and it's just another lie that he's just more fraud from the regime and so the Republican National Committee chair says, no, no, no, he's a man of the people. This is, he does not mean to in any way, you know, understate what's going on in America. Things are really good here here, play this clip. You know, I know that the president is still making jokes about how expensive it is just to eat his Florida golf club. This was something that he said over the weekend. Unfortunately, at Mar-a-Lago, at $5,000 all you'd get would be one hamburger and a very small desert. Are you worried that the president's tone when it comes to the economy and affordability has turned off some voters, Joe, or a lot of voters? I've talked to the president about this and he definitely has empathy for people. The one good thing about the president is he's been focused on the American workers since day one and if you look at the fact we've had like a million private sector jobs created under his presidency, he's brought $22 trillion worth of investments back, you know, five decades in DC leadership. We've seen American jobs be shipped overseas for cheap, in exchange for cheap foreign goods. This president said no more. He's going to bring that back. I want to eat healthy, but a bowl full of leaves just doesn't sound that good. Enter Brodo, super nutritious bone broth. That's as delicious as it is good for you. This podcast is sponsored by Brodo.

He was on CNBC this morning, and he was asked by the MAGA hosts, like a MAGA network now CNBC. And Joe Kiernan and the MAGA hosts says, you know, while there's income growth, because of inflation, people aren't feeling any income growth to which Kevin Hassett says, "Yeah, that's only in the last couple of months, but things are great." And he just lies about the economy play this clip. - But it's not, it's either you're breaking even or you're not really getting ahead because of where inflation is. - Well, that's just the last couple of months. That was just the last couple of months. In fact, one of the things that we did when we got the 3.4% GDP number is we just looked at what consumption, real consumption after adjusting for inflation is in the latest report compared to what it was when President Trump took office, and it's up $5,000 per family. $5,000 per family, because people are not losing their jobs and initial claims for unemployment insurance are about the lowest that they've been. And people are seeing wage growth. And there were a couple of months in a row where inflation outstripped wage growth, but from the beginning, people's purchasing power is way up. - Meanwhile, the catastrophic war in Iran is a war, I know Donald Trump says, there isn't a lot of fighting, it's because you ran out of weapons, you ran out of munitions, both interceptors and offensive capabilities, very early on in the war, and most of the US military bases in the region have been destroyed by Iran, the Midas Touch Networks. Did a great report on that a few weeks back where we showed the various bases. Here's what's going on. Iran struck another tanker in the strait of Hormuz earlier this morning. It's about 11 or 12 in the past 10 days or so that we've been covering if you're keeping track. And also a new security architecture is being formed in the Middle East, which is pushing out the United States and bringing in China as kind of the main security guarantor as well as Russia. This is a result of Donald Trump's recklessness and horrific policies and catastrophic war. Here's what we're learning. So Iran's security chief, like the top advisor to Ayatollah Mojtaba Komene, motion Razai had a call with Vladimir Putin earlier today discussing security issues in the region and other cooperation between Iran and Russia. At the same time, you had Ali Bagari, the deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Another kind of top advisor to Ayatollah Mojtaba Komene was in Beijing meeting with China's foreign minister, Wang Yi. Also meeting with China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, was the Sultan of Oman. And also meeting with Wang Yi today was Dr. Masood bin Muhammad al-Iban, Saudi Arabia's minister of state. So you had all of that activity taking place in Beijing where they are talking about security guarantees, where they're talking about more cooperation with China, Russia, Iran, and Middle East nations. What else do you think they're talking about? While Donald Trump is posting photos of himself with his face superimposed with Elvis, China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, issued the following statement after meeting with Iran's top security deputy chief, kind of the right hand to motion Razai. China's foreign minister said, China supports Iran in protecting its sovereignty and its security. In other words, China stands with Iran against the United States is what the message is. You also have Saeed Jalili, the Supreme Leader's representative to the Supreme National Security Council Secretariat, another top advisor to Ayatollah Mojtaba Komene and other top person in Iran's security apparatus. Here's what he just posted. Every day, people from various countries come to Iran and say they've brought a message from the enemy referring to Trump. But these messages are nothing but messages of desperation. The enemy is trapped in a quagmire with no way out and this is a manifestation of your greatness, oh people. That's how they view this situation of what's going on. And Donald Trump did get the United States into a quagmire with Trump and Netanyahu invading Iran. Meanwhile, you have former president Bill Clinton. I'll do another video of this in about 90 minutes. He was speaking in Mississippi to promote the candidacy of Scott Kolom, who I've had on the show, who couldn't actually win that Senate race in Mississippi against Cindy Hyde Smith. She's the manga Republican extremist in Mississippi who said that people should just stop eating beef because they can't afford it. So just try to try some cheaper protein. She said, well, here's what former president Bill Clinton told the crowd in Mississippi. Let's play it. The people of Mississippi, understand why something they used to be able to afford is out of reach. They know good and well that gas prices are higher because of that war in the Gulf. Now, contrast that to Donald Trump speaking on that right-wing New York Post podcast with Miranda Divine when he was asked, do you need regime change in Iran? And Trump's like, we've got regime change. Things are already changed here. Play this clip. Do you need regime change for that? Well, sort of, you know, we've knocked out two of their regimes. So we've sort of changed it in a sense. You also have to have somebody to talk to, you know, we're saying, who do we speak to? But no, it's very simple to me. They can't have a nuclear weapon. We're Donald Trump saying things are going so well. The real people, Trump says, the real people are doing well. When Trump says the real people are doing well, he means the Epstein class, the Mar-a-Lago class. Remember earlier this morning I showed you the video of like the half-naked men running around Mar-a-Lago dressed as cats while they had zebras running around Mar-a-Lago, and then you had, you know, that whole, you know, deranged scene. I called it like a Gatsby party meets Epstein party and Donald Trump was like, look at all my rich wall street friends. That's what he means when he says the real people, not like, by the way. Anyway, there you have it. Appreciate you for watching. Got a big show tomorrow that we're doing election day coverage. It's going to be led by Scott McFarlane and Katie Fang of the Midas Touch Network. Got a studio in DC. Luke Raidel, White House correspondent, will be in DC. Working with them as well.
