Summary

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: Trump makes the absurd and mathematically impossible claim that he lowered drug prices by “more than 1500%” as his economy continues to crater and jobs vanish. Right-wing media tries to deflect from Trump’s disasters with their newest culture war subject: Sydney Sweeney. Texas Democrats take a bold stand, fleeing the state to block a gerrymandering power grab while Republicans threaten them with arrest. Trump brags about his relationship with notorious conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, and his unhinged DOJ launches a sham investigation into Democrats over the Russia probe. Meanwhile, MAGA supporters rally for the release of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, Trump gets booed at WWE Summer Slam, and MeidasTouch Gen Z correspondent Adam Mockler hits the road with MoveOn to fire up the grassroots.

0:00.0	We have a lot to cover on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. You have Donald Trump returning to Washington, D.C. after another weekend of vacationing and golfing and being caught cheating. Donald Trump claims he scored a 69 on an 18-haul course, which means he would have had the greatest score in the history of the world for anybody of his age.
0:22.3	We'll break that down.
0:23.6	But he returned and said, everything is rigged.
0:26.3	The jobs report is rigged, just like the election is rigged.
0:29.3	But he's like, you know, Sidney Sweeney, she's really hot.
0:32.7	She's got hot ads.
0:34.3	She's a Republican everybody.
0:35.9	We'll talk about what's going on in Texas, the unlawful
0:40.3	gerrymandering scheme by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republican Governor Greg Abbott and the MAGA
0:46.1	Republicans there. The Democratic state representatives left the state of Texas. They're under
0:51.8	the protection of the governor of Illinois right now,
0:55.1	not giving the MAGA Republicans in Texas the quorum needed for them to hold an emergency
1:00.8	session to try to change the map to eliminate five Democratic congressional districts. Earlier today,
1:08.2	the MAGA Republicans and the Texas legislator voted to arrest all of
1:13.0	the Democratic state representatives in Illinois and to remove them from their jobs. We'll break down
1:20.3	what's going on there. Donald Trump got relentlessly booed at a WWE event that took place this weekend in New Jersey.
1:29.9	You know, W.W.E fans used to go like 90-10 in favor of Donald Trump.
1:34.9	And when his image was put on the big screen there with Triple H, he was booed throughout that
1:40.5	event. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about Donald Trump's disastrous trade war
1:45.1	against the world, continuing to spiral out of control. We learned today from South Korea that,
1:52.4	indeed, there is no deal for them to give the United States a $450 billion signing bonus, just like Japan, just like the European Union. South Korea is saying,
2:05.1	nope, there's no guarantee, there's no binding agreement. It is a discretionary high interest loan.
