By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things.
Like how family is precious.
Work can always wait.
And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles.
Not everyone at risk will develop it.
But I did.
The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks.
Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way.

Donald Trump is suffering this morning.
And that suffering will continue to get worse.
Humiliation as MAGA Republican Congress members are now cutting ads before the midterms.
Attacking Donald Trump.
Realizing they may lose their seats in plus 15, plus 20 Trump districts from 2024.
Based on how deeply unpopular Donald Trump is.
And as the MAGA movement is essentially dead.
We'll talk more about that.
Also, we're learning about how MAGA Mike Johnson held a meeting before recessing Congress.
Yet again, he shut down the House of Representatives.
And in this meeting with top MAGA Republican Congress members in leadership.
They were all at each other's throats.
They were saying, you're an effing traitor.
You're an effing traitor.
There is a complete collapse right now among the MAGA Republicans in Congress.
Let me show you what's going on though right now as well.
You had Harry Enten on CNN saying, congrats, Donald Trump.
You always wanted to break records.
Guess what?
You broke another record this morning.
Here, play this clip.
I want to congratulate Donald Trump, the President of the United States.
Because he is breaking records.
He is literally breaking records.
Yesterday, the Marquette University Law School poll came out.
And take a look here.
Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation.
Minus 61 points.
61 points under order.
That is the worst that Donald Trump has.
Ever polled on inflation.
And not only is it the worst that Donald Trump has ever polled on inflation.
It is the worst that any president ever has polled on inflation.
This is literally the worst net approval rating on inflation for any president.
It is truly record-breaking.
Congratulations, President Trump.
You're breaking records.
But perhaps not in the way that you wished.
Worse than Carter?
Worse than Jimmy Carter.
Worse than Reagan.
Worse than Reagan.
Worse than Biden.
Worse than Biden.
He is worse than all three of those.
And he is worse than any poll.
He has ever had himself with this minus 61 points.
Literally the worst of all.
And then Harry Enten says one of the other reasons why these MAGA Republicans wanted to
shut down Congress is that there was a huge movement, even within Congress, to impeach
Pete Hegseth.
The American people want Pete Hegseth, that vile war criminal.
Americans want that sicko gone.
In fact, we want him tried at the Hague, actually, because what a sick, vile human being that
is.
Here's what Harry Enten has to say about how Americans view Hegseth.
Let's play this clip.
Where is his where is Hegseth's popularity right now?
You know, we start off the title slide asking who hates Hegseth and basically everyone.
If you're the American public, no wonder, no wonder the speaker sent everybody home
because just take a look here.
OK, Hegseth's net approval, you know, back before the Iran war started back in January
of twenty twenty six, right?
It was minus nine points.
You think that's so look at this.
He's more than twice as unpopular.
Nearly three.
Three times as unpopular now in his net approval rating.
Minus twenty five points.
How about among independents?
You think that minus nine is all about minus twenty before the war started?
You think that minus twenty?
So how about minus forty three points among independents?
Now, no wonder, no wonder, no wonder Speaker Johnson did not want his Republicans
representatives to actually have to vote on this, because if they voted with the president,
they'd be voting against the American public because the bottom line is Pete Hegseth is hated by basically
Now, what about Benny Johnson, ultra MAGA propagandist when you lose Benny Johnson?
Donald, look at what happened this morning with Benny Johnson.
Play this clip, everybody won't like you just can't.
I mean, just it just the biggest political swing and miss in my lifetime has been not keeping the two dollar gas that we had in December and January.
And that's exactly where we that's where we were.
That's where the market where the market was headed.
Was to most people paying less than two dollars a gallon for gas.
It was the nationwide average was two dollars exactly on.
I just checked it this morning on December 31st, twenty twenty five.
That was the nationwide average for a gallon of gasoline.
Yeah, more from Benny Johnson right here says, you know, gas prices are so bad, he says that he thinks that AOC is going to be the next president.
This is Benny Johnson, MAGA propagandist through and through.
Here's what he said.
Here's what he had to say this morning.
Play this clip.
I think they are.
I mean, I think they are.
I think it's built different.
I think they're going to run AOC.
And I think that's where I think that it's going to be the battle.
It's going to be AOC versus Vance and AOC will be president if we can't get prices under control and start delivering wins domestically for people.
I think what a what a what a crazy timeline.
Yeah, I mean, what about state regime media Fox this morning?
How do voters rank the economy right now?
And the rate hike comes as new Fox polls.
Show warning signs for Republicans with 77 percent of registered voters ranking the economy negatively and saying Democrats would better better handle inflation and higher prices by a 15 point margin.
Meanwhile, of course, you saw what Donald Trump was saying last night at that deranged speech in North Carolina.
He said everything is great.
I've kept all of my promises here.
Play this clip.
And I've delivered on every single promise I made and far more than the promise I made promise.
And then Donald Trump said that he.
Thought that gas prices were actually inexpensive.
He said they should be more expensive.
I have to say, you have a little higher.
You have a higher.
It's a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done.
Remember that it's a little more.
It's even if it was frankly, even if it was a lot more, but that's going to come tumbling down.
That's going to be like a rocket ship in reverse.
Now, as Donald Trump's approval crashes as the MAGA movement.
Is done, of course, the grifter going to grift Donald Trump running ads, running ads about what interesting that you might ask that beyond parody Newsmax running ads on behalf of Donald Trump for the Trump $1 coin.
So heading into the midterms, Donald Trump's message by my $1 coin, my commemorative coin here, play this clip, look closely at history in the making for the first.
Time in 100 years, a US coin is featuring the portrait of a living president.
The United States government is releasing one of the most historic coins of our lifetime.
The 2026 semi-quincentennial president, Donald J.
Trump $1.

You also have Donald Trump's top advisors freaking out in front of the White House today.
You had Trump's top economic advisor, or one of them, Peter Navarro, trashing the chair of the Federal Reserve.
Kevin Warsh.
He took the seat of the Federal Reserve Board on a 12-0 vote, hiked interest rates by 25 basis points to the range of 3.75 to 4%.
Interesting, right?
Because Donald Trump was threatening to criminally prosecute Jerome Powell, who, by the way, Trump appointed during his first term.
Biden reappointed Jerome Powell because Powell would not lower interest rates.
He kept him steady.
Donald Trump says, "He's too late, Powell.
He needs to be criminally prosecuted."
Okay. So Donald Trump then does
picked an interest rate hawk in Kevin Warsh, a hawk meaning Warsh believes in kind of stricter,
tighter controls when it comes to raising interest rates. So hawk is an interest rate hawk. And what
Warsh do? Well, the board unanimously raised the interest rate, not even lower them, raise them.
Right. So here's what Peter Navarro had to say. And he was on the Steve Bannon show trashing
Trump's Federal Reserve chair pick. Why do you think I'm surprised? I was not a Warsh guy. I'm not a Warsh guy. I see him not as MAGA.
I see him, let's call him MARA or MASA, like make recessions great again. You know, it's like,
or make stagflation great again. I just, look, he sold himself and now he's selling us out. I think
it's pretty much as simple as that. And I don't know. Here's what I don't know. I don't know
whether.
It's a gap in his training or whether he's just one of them. And this is political. I fear it's
political. I mean, if he understood this issue, he would have gone against the grain of what is a
very politicized anti-Trump fed and tried to lead on the issue and maybe lose, but at least try to
lead. He did not do that. What was it? Was it? So why did he go along?
Joe Rogan's like, yeah, you know, these people who are still MAGA are like sickos. Here's what he has
to say. Play this clip. You know, Trump supporters are fucking nuts, man. They're rabid. He represents
something other than just a person to them. Oh, it's Christ. Yeah. Well, he represents something,
some, a leader that they wish they had, you know, which is a real problem. Our society in general
with leaders, we look to them as if there's something different than every other person
that's ever been a leader before. Like this is the one.
This is the one that's going to save us. You know, you even had a weird appearance
from Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir this morning, and he was trying to justify why he and Donald
Trump think that there should be no regulations when it comes to AI. And he's like, what, what?
It's like, you're going to try to tell me that I need to tell me not to wear a condom or something.
I don't even know what he's talking about. Let's listen to what he's saying. How can they tell me
not to wear a condom? I just, do you just, okay, here, this is what, this is what they're saying.
Got it. Here, play. I can't repeat what the customers are saying, but they're basically
like one to give you the one that was the least vulgar. It's like, but, but how can they tell me
not to wear a condom? Like this is, and that's the least vulgar person that we deal with. They're
like livid. And so they're livid. So that's safety. Wait, can you just like translate what
you're talking about? All right. Now you have MAGA Republican Congresswoman,
Maria Salazar from Florida, South Florida. Her district is 75% Hispanic. It was a district that
Trump carried by plus 15 in the 2024 election. She's now cutting ads, looking straight at the
camera and saying, Donald Trump, your immigration policies have been horrible. They've been bad.
Okay. Really? Congresswoman Salazar, you aided and abetted this. You told your community,
I remember watching it. You told your community that Trump supports your dignity act. You said
the dignity act and that Trump said he promised you, this is what you assured your constituents
that Trump would never go after immigrants who were not criminals, who were not violent criminals.
In fact, what you promised Trump supported a pathway to citizenship. That was part of your
dignity act. That's what you told your constituents where you have a heavily Cuban, Venezuelan,
uh,
constituent base and also people from other, uh, countries in South America, Central America. But
this is in Caribbean. Here's the ad that she just released. Play this clip.
Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far. In July,
50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record. Be careful what your advisors
are telling you about immigration policy. The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White
House in 2024 feel betrayed today. You can be for immigration, but Lincoln was for slavery and
Reagan was for corruption. You can be for immigration, but Lincoln was for slavery and
communism. I'm not talking about giving them amnesty. I'm talking about giving them a
dignified life in this promised land. I am Maria Elvira Salazar and I approve this message.
But of course, at the Midas Touch Network, we have receipts from November 2024. This was
Congresswoman Salazar. Here's what she said before, uh, the Trump regime was officially
inaugurated. Here was her promise. You can all hear it for yourself. Let's play it.
Congresswoman, if I may, I know our time here is limited. I'm asking about the potential
deportation of hundreds of thousands of people. Well, okay.
The deportation is going to be among those criminals who are the gang members, the gutterways,
the trend, the Arawa. I am sure not all 200,000 undocumented in your community. Is that what
you're saying? I am sure that we're not, that the Trump administration is not going to be targeting
those people who have been here for more than five years that have American kids that don't have
criminal records that have been working in the economy and paying taxes. I am sure that they're
less than four years ago because I wrote the dignity act and I am the first one who understands
that you have to give some type of dignity to those who have been here for more than five years.
People who have roots in the country, not people who are coming. Okay. We're seeing lots of videos
like this. Three time Trump voters are posting videos while they're filling up their, uh,
vehicles with either gas or diesel that they can't afford. Play this clip right here.
I voted for you three.
times, Trump. Voted for you three times. This is the thanks I get. Thanks, Trump.
And meanwhile, on the international front, you have China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs
spokesperson responding to the legislation that was enacted here, or the legislation that passed
the House and the Senate, imposing sanctions on Russia or secondary sanctions on countries that
do business with Russia. It has yet to actually been implemented by Donald Trump. I don't think
it's been signed yet either, at least as of this recording, that is. And China made it very clear,
we will not, this will not deter us.
In any way, we will continue to do business with Russia. We will continue to do business with Iran.
Any threat of secondary, bring it on, is basically what China is saying. The last time you threatened
us, we cut off your rare earths, and then you back down right away. Donald Trump, you are begging Xi
Jinping to show up at the White House. We are not afraid of this at all. We dare you to try to
impose secondary sanctions on China, whether it's our dealings with Iran or our dealings
with Russia or our dealings with anybody. We don't support unilateral sanctions by countries.
That's what China's message was this morning. Also, satellite imagery this morning showing
the Houthis have dug roughly 20 kilometers of trenches in the mountains around Bab el-Mandab
between September 8th and September 16th. The trenches serve a dual purpose, defending against
any Saudi-backed counteroffensive to retake the East Coast and providing observation posts over
looking the shipping channels. So the trenches allow the Houthis on Sarala to target pretty
easily ships that are going through the Bab el-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea. Finally, good news to report
as well. The Midas Touch Network has surged past every other podcast in the world when looking at
