LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to MAJOR BREAKING NEWS - 10/22/26

This is the Midas Touch podcast and. we've got a lot to discuss. So, let's. just get right into it. After a bizarre. and deranged trip yesterday in South. Carolina, Donald Trump is in Iowa today. where I'm sure he'll be talking about. men's asses. He'll be making a bunch of. weird noises. He'll be saying how great. the catastrophic war in Iran is. He'll. say affordability is a hoax. He'll tell. weird stories about Melania asking him, "What's wrong with you?" and he said, "I'm just pretending to be Biden. That's.

the situation. We'll try to talk about. all of this, tie it together." And the. real thing is the American people are. struggling right now. Diesel and gas are. at record highs. People can't afford. groceries. People are really struggling. Donald Trump is a destroyer. And then. once he rips to shred institutions and. deals and all of these things, he. doesn't replace it with anything. There's just anarchy. And then what does. he do? Blame. Blame. Blame. Blame. Blame. That's been his whole life of. bankruptcy. The American people see it.

It's why as we approach the midterms, which is literally right around the. corner, Donald Trump's approval at. historic lows for any president since. the invention of polling. And same thing. for MAGA Republicans. And they can try. to say things are great and amazing and. golden age. That ain't true. The. American people are absolutely furious. We'll get into all of it. Brett and. Jordy, good to see you. Midas Mighty, great to see you. The book is out. WTF. America. Thank you all for the.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I I I appreciate. it. Um, but uh, you know, I've been. seeing all the photos, all all the, you. know, comments that have been coming in. of people saying how much they love it.

So, I'm. going to toss it over to Jordy. Jordy, what's the latest? >> Well, real quick, sorry. I have to just. kind of rehash exactly what Brett and. Ben said to lead us off. I just so. grateful for this community. Thank y'all. so much. Obviously, like we're always in. the chats talking with y'all. We're. always talking on all these other. platforms and it's just it's so. incredible to see this community. I'm. going to choke up. It's crazy. It's. always so incredible to see this. community just from all places on on.

earth come together like in moments like. these. Like, you know, we put out the. call for y'all to show up. Like, we. really needed your help with this one. and you guys showed up in such a massive. way and we knew you would. You know, it's so much far beyond, you know, Ben, Brett, and Jordy. like the book is just. representative of this collective. community of people who truly faking. care about democracy and about what the. United States should be doing in this. crazy time. And so just first off just. like thank you guys so much. Uh I I. could go on for another 10 20 minutes.

just thanking you all. But please just. know like these past couple of days have. just been such it's been an emotional. roller coaster in a positive way just. seeing this community rally. So thank. you guys truly from the bottom of our. hearts. Benji, where do you want to. start off today, big bro? >> Let's get into it. As Donald Trump was. heading off to Iowa, he said, uh, many. great patriots really love the war in. Iran. It's, uh, it's a love fest with. the war. He says, here, play this clip. >> Have a nuclear weapon. I mean, in one. way, people probably don't love it, but.

many people, many great patriots really. love it. This should have been done a. long time ago by other presidents. >> Many great patriots love it. You're. talking about war. You're talking about. life and death, war and peace. And I. guess for Trump and his regime and. corporate media, this is all one big. game for them. But war is hell. It truly. is. Hell is breaking loose. That is war. People die, children slaughter, people. dead. And the way he talks about it,

he's so detached from the reality. And. he wants to bend reality so that we all. live in this deranged world that he. inhabits. And it's really important for. us to just say no no this is a deranged. lunatic. Then he goes on and he's asked. a question about uh how Ukraine. President Sullinski says that look Putin. keeps on striking overnight and doesn't. this show you that while Zinsky said he. wants an energy ceasefire, he's ready to.

do a ceasefire tomorrow and Putin then. responds like this. Doesn't that show. you that it's actually Putin who doesn't. want the ceasefire and doesn't want. peace? Watch Donald Trump's response. Let's play it. >> Ukraine, Mr. President, President. Zilinski said these new Russian strikes. overnight are proof that nothing's. changed with Putin, that he doesn't want. peace. How do you see it? >> Well, we'll see how it works out. That's. been happening a lot. >> Well, we'll see how that works out. It. will be h it happens a lot. It's.

happening a lot. Okay. What kind of. statement is that? I know people, you. know, in the corporate news like, well, he makes himself available. Well, available for what? Available for that. What the hell is that? And I think it's. important that we point it out to show. again how utterly unfit this person is. for that position. We'll see how it all. works out. This is the person who. promised in 2024 that he would bring. peace to Ukraine in 24 hours with his. magic words that he would use to. Zalinski, that he would use to Putin, and he would resolve everything. Also,

your electricity bill was supposed to be. half the amount it was when Donald Trump. took office. And obviously, now it's. probably 50% more or even higher than. that, maybe double uh maybe triple for. some people. It's significantly more. Gas was supposed to be $2 a gallon. Right now, we see record highs. I mean, right before we went live today, I. looked at the price per barrel of oil. It was like $113, approaching $114. a barrel. It was up 4 and a.5% today. As.

I've always been saying, that's going to. head to 120, 125, 130. It's important to note though when. people like, well, it's not 150. It. actually is because when you hear about. the price per barrel of oil, you're. still hearing about a futures contract, that price is a price two to three. months out that's being bought now to. hedge. the actual price, the spot price. or the dated price right now is 150 is. 160. And usually the dated price and the.

futures price um or the price of a. barrel per oil versus the refined price, usually these prices are not so. dramatically. uh significant. The delta isn't usually. that huge, but it is as well right now. Um, that's called a crack spread, which. also shows you as well what actually. people are paying at the pump is even as. significantly higher than what the price. per barrel is, but the price per barrel. is still very high. It has to be uh.

refined. And so, but you know, this is. what Donald Trump is out there saying. He's blaming Zinsky. He's blaming. everybody for his own behavior right. here. Trump has asked about Starlink and. Star Shield um being throttled and being. shut off. There was reporting in the. Wall Street Journal that uh really it. was Elon Musk who just said on his own. off I don't I want it off. But obviously. I mean I think we all recognize that. Donald Trump would be complicit with. that. And then you had like JD Van.

saying nope it was a corporate decision. We we can't intervene on corporate. decisions. That's just what corporate. does. We're we're the government. Okay. We don't have any say over what Elon. Musk does with Starlink or Star Shield. throttling Zalinsky's. >> Trump famously never tells any companies. what to do or corporations. >> We have no uh we have we have no power. So first let me show you what Trump says. then I'll show you what JD Van says. Here's what Trump said. Let's play. back darling from Ukraine. Well, I don't. want to say, but uh I know it was a very.

interesting situation. So, I don't want. to comment one way or the other, but uh. my my relationship with Elon is a very. good one. Go ahead. >> Yeah, I don't want to comment on it. You. know, whether I called or whether. somebody else called doesn't make any. difference. I guess the bottom line, he. put it back. It does make a difference because we. need to hold the murderer accountable. Whoever turned it off directly caused. the deaths of multiple Ukrainian. civilians, including children, including.

pe mothers with I mean, I've seen these. horrific photos of the children who were. slaughtered. It it is it is it is of. consequence. Things matter. Who did. things matter? Who says what? Who gives. the order? These things matter. The this. is reality. These things are the most. important things. Who gave it? whether. it was I or him. Okay. Well, if it was. you or it was him, and if it was both of. you, which it seems to be part of the. criminal enterprise that we're used to. seeing with Donald Trump and this uh. regime, that's important because.

especially when Democrats take control. of the House and likely the Senate right. now, who are we going to hold. accountable as a country, as a. collective, we regardless of political. party is an important point. And just. let me show you what J D Van said that. this was this was corporate like you. know like did you notice the various. iterations of the story? I don't know. how it happened. It was a technical. glitch. It was the weather. Oh, it was. corporate. It was corporate that day. I'm not going to say it's just a bunch. of blame and a bunch of loser be loser. behavior. Watch what JD Van says. Let's.

play. >> Well, I I think that fundamentally Elon. Musk runs a private corporation. And I. think it's completely understandable. that he doesn't want to get in the. middle of what is a war between two. state actors without the United States. government effectively directing him on. what to do. So, I don't think this is. about Elon. I think it's fundamentally. what is America's policy in Ukraine to. Russia going to be. As I just said. earlier, I think we're working on some. renewed negotiations. >> It is about Elon. Okay. Number one, and. it is about you and it is about Trump.

But what you're asking the question, what is America's policy going to be? That's that's for you. What what is. America's policy? What is the policy? Tell us. Articulate it. Have a strategy. What is America's policy going to be. with these straight F4 moves? Is it. Trump truthing on Truth Social? Is it. him making a post? Did you see what it. said on Truth Social today? It was like. Donald Trump blasts Iran on truth. social. Okay, that's that's the. strategy. What is this? Is this is real. folks. Truth Social had a breaking news.

breaking Trump slams Iran in new truth. as we read on the Midas Touch account. Not sure how Iran is going to recover. from this. That's the plan. just lie. about the oil coming out of these trade. of Hormuz every day and while the price. per barrel of oil continues to surge. What is the plan with Ukraine? It was it. was to lie about it. It was to say that. you had a strategy and you didn't. Your. strategy was to tell Zalinsky to. surrender. Zalinsky didn't surrender and. now you have no plan. So that's where. we're at right now. And now you're. asking these questions. What is the. strate? What is the meaning? You are the.

leaders that that's for you to decide. And there's zero accountability, zero. responsibility. It's weakness. It's. loser behavior. Our adversaries and. friends, there's no friends anymore. Our. former allies, they all see this for. what it is. It's pathetic. Brett, Jordy, >> two things. Uh, first I I just like I I. think everything that you have to. understand about this regime and kind of. this moment in time, this entire Trump. era, it's it's something that we say. often on this show, but it's it's worth.

repeating when we see comments like that. from JD Vance and Donald Trump and what. Elon Musk's doing. So much of what we. are dealing with and so much of what we. speak about here on the Midas Touch. Network has nothing to do with Democrat, Republican, left, first, right, independent, all that stuff. It's really. a matter of good versus evil. It's a. matter of decent versus cruel. It's a. matter of honest versus corrupt. And. when we watch the things that this Trump. regime does, you know what side they.

fall on. When you watch Donald Trump get. out there and say, "Oh, I think that ad. that Vive Ramaswami did where he decided. to elevate the aranged mother of Amy. Actton who stayed married to her. daughter's rapist and the guy who abused. all of her children. I think that is a. great ad. Brilliant ad, Vivec. Great. job. That's great. He should definitely. run that again." Like, that's it's not a. political calculation for me to say. that. That's disgusting. And there. shouldn't be a single Republican. I.

don't care what the hell your political. affiliation is. Who doesn't look at that. behavior and go, "Wait a sec. What? Like, what did I get myself mixed up in? This is some sick stuff. This is a real. sicko. This is a real sick individual, a. bad person." And people who are. supporting this behavior are all really. bad people. What Donald Trump is doing. right now and what Elon Musk is doing, what Vance is doing, their actions. toward Ukraine are frankly far worse. than the actions that Donald Trump got. impeached for in 2019 by extorting.

Ukraine. This is like a whole other. level. That makes this makes that look. like nothing. And Donald Trump is doing. this basically out in the open. And so I. hope that we see some accountability and. investigations and get these people. really on the record when Democrats come. into power. Grill these people. Impe. whatever you got to do because this. right here is murderous behavior. This. this is behavior that is leading to the. deaths of Ukrainians, the deaths of many.

people uh in the Middle East. These. people don't give a damn about human. life and they're showing it every day. It's why we never should have given. And. this isn't even a a Trump criticism. This is a every president criticism. We. should have never given Elon Musk the. power that he has. That criticism also. goes to a lot of these world leaders. across the world. We should have never. given this guy so much power. Why put. all of our eggs in the Elon Musk basket? And now that we know that this guy could.

flick off a kill switch and literally. kill people by doing that, are you still. are foreign governments still going to. start tr keep trusting Elon Musk with. their security, with their defenses, with their missiles? To me, that is a. big big big mistake. And all of Europe, anybody who relies on Elon Musk should. be looking right now and say, how do we. get the hell away from the sky as. quickly as possible? And the next. Democratic president that comes in. should also that one of the big things. should be we need to detach from this. guy. He's a monster. We should not allow.

this guy to have so much power in our. government. >> Really well said be and for me it comes. down to this. When you look at JD Vans. up there, when you look at Donald Trump, Donald Trump I I I have to comment on. this quick. He looks crazy. Like when. he's giving these one-offs now to the to. the press, I it looks like he's doing. blackface. Like I I there's no other way. for me to describe it. Like the bronzer. is so ridiculous. He can't even open his. eyes. If you're watching that clip and I. was watching pretty closely, I'm like. trying to find where his eyes are and. where the bags start. He doesn't look.

well. And I'm not like saying that to be. like Donald Trump doesn't look He. doesn't look well. And that should. concern everybody. Could concern every. American. I don't care what political. party you are. should concern everyone. across the world that the leader of this. country and I use leader very loosely. here but he is and has all this power. the nuclear football looks like that and. is behaving like that and then you have. JD Vance talking about how well that. we're just going to have to figure out. what the policy is JD to Ben's point.

you're the guy that's supposed to have. figured it out and I think I know where. you're falling on this and it feels very. pro-Russia to me in a very disastrous. and concerning way but for me ultim. Ultimately, like again, we really don't. view ourselves as political. Like when. we started this that we talked about in. WTF America that Brett just brought up a. photo of of Trump get like it is so. beyond the pale. I if I were to describe. this and I'm going to for the audio. listeners, you're going to think I'm. making this up. Please go to the Midas. Touch YouTube and literally look at this.

to the time stamp. You have Donald Trump. out here like leaning forward. His eyes are are closed or they're. opened. I really can't tell. and the. amount of bronzer he has on his face. I. it it it is so utterly bizarre and just. concerning. And you look at that person. and you're like, "That's the president. of the United States. That's who y'all. elected to speak for you, to act for. you?" Uh-uh. Uh-uh. There's going to. have to be really like a massive.

overhaul here when we go forward as to. who we are putting in positions of power. in this country to lead us out of this. stuff and and and to just lead us with a. clear vision forward because right now. it just seems like Donald Trump is. leading by truth social post. Truth. social post after true social post and. then they try to get JD Vance to. comment. He's someone's going to have to. figure that out. JD, you are supposed to. be the someone. Unbelievable to me. the. lack of leadership that comes from the. White House.

>> You know, it's like going to a surgeon. and then there's open heart surgery and. then you look at the uh dissection and. what you're supposed to do and you're. like. nurse anybody want to figure this one. out? It's like no, this is you. It's. you. You're supposed to confidently know. what you're supposed to do. Jordy, speaking of what Trump looked like. there, a potato head and not Mr. Potato. Head because I don't want to defame Mr. Potato Head. um and. >> wouldn't want to do that on the show. Big big friend of the show, Mr. >> Big Friend of the show, Mr. Potato Head.

But and and if I did defame Mr. Potato. Head and he sued me, he would not do. what Trump did with the BBC, which is. hide from a deposition. Again, how. cowardly is that too, though? I mean, we'll talk about that with the weird. transition I just did from Mr. Potato. Head to this and deposition in BBC. But. Trump terrified of BBC. Trump sues BBC10. billion dollars and says they defamed. him by running a documentary that was. edited in a way that Trump didn't like. and said, "Well, this makes it seem like. I was involved in the insurrection.".

Okay. He said, "I'm defamed 10 billion. dollars." And then BBC fights back and. they notice his deposition. And they ask. for documents that shows proof of $10. billion of damages. Trump won't turn. over the documents. And then he refuses. to show up at his deposition. And then. he says, "I'm dealing with Iran and. national security issues, except during. the day of his deposition, October 16th, he was in Dalton Municipal Airport. giving a speech in Georgia." One of. those deranged small speeches that he. gives. And then he went to a pack event. at Mara Lago that night. And so BBC.

calls him out and says to the judge, "Order him to show up." Trump goes, "I. want my deposition to be late January. and no video deposition. I don't want it. to be on video." And BBC's like, "Well, then don't sue me. Dismiss your case.". Okay. Yeah. And then they're like, "Wait, you're the ones who sued us.". Like they had to like that's what they. said their like remember he sued us. We. This isn't our thing and now he's trying. to avoid the process. >> Then this has always been your your. strategy that you've spoken about. outwardly. Like accept the lawsuit when.

Trump sues you. Great. Depose his ass. Depose him. Get him under oath. Get his. deposition. Do it. And every every. single time he cowers. >> Well, you know, the judge is forcing. Trump to open up for BBC. Uh yes, >> Trump wants it for BBC. There's a lot of. Yeah, there's a lot of Trump and. >> anyway, right, right, right there. But. but yes, Jordy, what you do is you. notice his deposition right away and. then you see how scared he is, but it's. just like straight of Hormuz, right? It's just like catastrophic wars. He. comes up with the name Epic Fury, the.

lawsuits, $10 billion lawsuit. Okay, the. other side fights back and then he runs. away. And it's a pattern. It's a. pathology. It it it's it is a weakness. He bullies, but when you punch him back, he runs away. It's like right out of the. like uh examples that you give like when. you punch back the bully which is not. >> it's the perfect example. Yeah. It's. just it's clear BBC is just giving the. smack now to Trump right now. Like. there's no other way to put it. >> It's getting whacked by a by the BBC. Let's take our last let's take Okay, let's take our first break of the show.

reminder. Uh WTF America is the book. Um. but seriously, if you can get the hard. cover or the ebook, if you love it and. you're able to get it for gifts for. people, like now's the time. Go get it.

I was waking up I literally woke up in. the middle of the night last night and. looked at my phone because this clip on. our TikTok got like 12 million views or. something crazy. >> Looks like a toad like. >> and I watched it again in the middle of.

the night which is such a mistake. >> I'll give you the explanation the. majority of what it is though. I I I. know I I have the answer. >> All right. And I'd say 90% of the reason. I took the governor. I took the governor. I put her over at. the United Nations. It's a rough one. It's a rough one. Okay. So when people I'm going to give. you the general issue of dementia and. rapidly accelerating dementia. Um. there's a number of things that appear.

to be that. Um but it's opinion based, you know. But um. >> Tik Tok search like the Tik Tok will. tell you like what people search for to. find videos like this or what it. suggests. >> The Tik Tok search suggestion is. dementia random noise. >> Yeah. Yeah. But that's actually an. attribute where you can't he was. surprised that it happened as he's. struggling with the rapidly cognitive. decline that's happening. And so it even. surprised him, but you lose control. So.

what that was, it was like a vocal. disconfiguration. and and that'll actually start to happen. more and more and more. We're going to. see a lot more of that happen in a lot. of these events um taking place. And. then the homosexual disinhibition is. actually a thing. Um you know, whether. it was repressed homosexuality that's. always existed or whether it is a new. homosexual urge that he has. Um, but. whether it was existing before or now,

it it when he sees men, these are the. thoughts that are in his mind when he. looks at men and now he literally can't. control them. And so he he blurts them. out, you know, your ass, your ass, your. ass, your ass. And it is a version of. how does he treat female reporters? He's. always a nasty guy. He hates women. Um, and to me his sexualization of women and. others was all about power and. domination. I always thought ver you.

know he's a sex predator versus actually. like the thing the way he actually talks. about women in the past is not how um. straight men who love women or like. women actually talk about women or the. for like it just it just isn't. So, there's a whole there's a whole thing, but like let's be clear, he is a sex. predator. He's been found civily liable. for sexual assault. He brags about. sexually assaulting women. He says, "You're rich, you get away with it." He. bragged about inspecting girls naked at. beauty pageantss. He said, "When you're.

when you run beauty pageantss, this is. what you get to do." I mean, he's a. sicko. Um, he says, "This is locker room. talk. This is how men speak in locker. room. This is how men speak in locker. room." I represent a lot of athletes, professional athletes in my path. It's. not how leaders and men and captains of. football team. They don't talk like. this. Not how people talk. And it's. important that we we call out this um. behavior, but but there is homosexual. disinhibition with women. He goes piggy. piggy piggy hate piggy. These are the. thoughts in his mind. Piggy piggy. >> Lately also he's had a lot more.

outbursts even than normal. Um I'd say. like if you saw him in the Oval Office, that clip we played, I think on you guys. played it on the last show where was. like quiet. I'm like it was like the one. of the craziest. I'm like this guy looks. like a freaking demon. Like this this is. unbelievable. And it get it will it will. continue. >> It's gonna get worse. Yeah. And he was. doing this a lot. He's been doing this. like every press conference now. It's. just like quiet, stop like just bizarre. outbursts. And you know, we we have. people, you know, we have As and other. folks on the team who they clip shows.

and clip Donald Trump's speeches and. they put them out all day, right? And so. they're able to really notice the. nuances also of like if Donald Trump is. declining, if he's. gaffing more than usual, you know, if. there's weird things going on. And one. of the things that we all noticed was. how and that, you know, As and and our. team noticed, especially in these last. few speeches, was like, wow, there's. something really going on with Donald. Trump because there's he's making a lot. more mistakes. He's getting confused. What's the Atlantic Ocean? What's the.

Pacific Ocean? What's the name of the. peace prize? Is it the Pulitzer? Is it. the Nobel? I have no idea what this is, what that is. Blurting out those random. noises. A and and it's it's another. level from what we've seen. And sorry. for laughing for I was just reading the. comments on on the Instagram and every. one of the comments is funnier than. funnier than the next, but I won't bore. you with that right now. >> Yeah. And he tries to preempt it by. turning it into a joke and making. everybody kind of laugh with it, right? because he knows that he can't control.

his homosexual impulses, right? Like he. can't control it and the disinhibition. he can't. So he turns it into a joke to. blurt it out. So when he says it, he. goes, "Oh, it's just a, you know, it's. just a joke." It's the same thing, you. know, when he talks about the cognitive. exams and the different things he's also. trying to like, why is he devoting so. much time to this in the speech? I mean, one because he actually is, in my. opinion, I mean, rapidly declining, but.

he's also so self-conscious about it. that he's trying to get ahead of of all. He tells this story about how he walks. into walls and he doesn't he doesn't. remember the words he's saying. He can't. complete sentences and how awful he. looks. And so he says, you know, I go. home to Melania. He's making up the. story. He doesn't go home to Melania. She not they don't live in the same. room. They're not in the same area. But. he goes, I go, "Hey, baby. Hey, baby. Baby, was I the greatest last night, baby? Did you love what I did, baby? Hey, baby, you like this, baby? And then.

Melania tells me, "Are you okay? What's. wrong with you?" And I go, "No, baby. Baby, I was just pretending I was Biden. That's what I was doing, baby. I was. just pretending." So, that was me not. actually walking into walls and not. being able to get down steps or talk. Baby, I was being Biden is what he said. Here, I'll show you this example. Let's. play it. And then I came back and I. finished my speech and I said, "Baby, how good was that tonight? Was that the. best? Nobody can do it like me, baby.

You see that crowd?". And she said, "What happened to you? Are. you okay?". I said, "What do you mean? They had you. walking around the stage hitting a wall. Are you okay, darling?". So, they took my little routine and they. said that that was me doing it. I said, "That's the end of sarcasm.". Okay, I'll toss it to you, Brett and. Jordan, then we'll get into our. exclusive reporting. But it is a.

severely like I don't want to use the. severe illness as a way to not hold him. accountable. So, I'm not Sometimes I. fear that when you say it, it sends the. message that he's going to claim mental. impairment when accountability smacks. him in the face, right? And he probably. will try to do that. Um, because that's. part of his victimhood. So, I don't want. to give the out. I need to acknowledge. that. But I also want to acknowledge.

we're dealing with a what was a mass. psychosis, but the hypnosis of the mass. psychosis is fading now. just smaller. crowds. There's still a bunch of people. there though who are laughing in a way. that you should never do. But if you had. a severely ill uncle, for example, and. you enabled it versus actually getting. the help and calling it out, you then. take on those traits and attributes. It's a whole body of work that uh social.

and clinical psychiatrists talk about. Dr. Bandandy Lee does a great job. explaining it on the Midas Touch. Network, on the Weekend Show, um, and. other shows with Anthony Davis. He's on. a lot. But but but it the behavior rubs. off and you see those people behind him. like like we're we're looking at a. really like a really sick like a really. sick person who has the nuclear codes. who's making decisions over life and. death, war and peace who frankly isn't. not is to say isn't fit is really doing.

a disservice to isn't and fit because. it's in such a strata of unfitness that. what really should be happening in a. normal healthy country is that there. would be an involuntary hold psychiatric. hold placed on such a severely disturbed. individual. I mean it's it's really it's. it's not and there's no both sides. It's. not Biden. It's it's nothing even at a. level. It it isn't. It it truly isn't.

Right. >> All right. Some of the comments we. received on that video. Uh my grandpa. did this at the end of his life before. he died. He had dementia. He made weird. noises all the time. Daisy wrote that to. us. Someone wrote that was a kidney. giving up. Somebody said, "And they. degraded Biden for onetenth of what he's. showing." Somebody joked about the. supporters saying, "Are they all going. to start making that noise now?". Somebody said, "I'm high. You can't do. this to me." Someone said, Someone said,

"I'm crying real tears over this video. in the comments." Somebody said the. alien powering him was trying to escape. Uh, the search being dementia random. noise is sending me. Someone said, "Y'all don't understand. I'm having a. laughing fit. I can't effing stop. laughing. Every time I hear it, I laugh. harder. It's on replay. I can't stop.". Somebody says, "Oh, it's getting close.". Some Okay, I'll I'll end it there. >> Okay. Seeing Trump at these rallies or.

whatever and just in just the way he is. physically and and and mentally. I can. only sort of describe it and I obviously. wasn't alive during this time period. And no shade, you know, to to Elvis, but. like I just feel like when Trump is is. giving these speeches, this is like. Elvis in Vegas during the residency in. the last couple of weeks there because. what we're seeing is just someone who. even his own diehard people who go out.

to see him and support him. And Brett, you had a perfect, you know, view of of. the people they put behind him and and. the faces that they were making when he. was giving this speech. They're. confused. They don't know what to make. of it. And when he's losing his diehard. grip on the MAGA cult, that is his core. core base. And we see his his MAGA core. approval ratings are [ __ ] now. Like. they're not good. And it has a lot to. do, in my opinion, with this, his. behavior that's been so on display, his.

erratic behavior, his snapping at. reporters, specifically female. reporters, and the way he talks and. demeans female reporters. And then when. he's going on these tours, you know, his. his Vegas residency, if you will, his. obvious and clear mental and physical. decline that he doesn't even have. control over his body at this point of. of what we're seeing. This is. disgraceful. Like the fact that more. people in the Republican party itself. aren't speaking up against this. It's so.

obvious and it's so in front of your. face. And the fact that they just bury. their heads in the sand and pretend that. he is a beacon of good health. That that. is the person that what a leader, Donald, what a leader. No, I have great. concerns and it's not because oh George, you're you're so lived out, bro. No, that's the president of the United. States. And it's concerning to me that. he can't get through a sentence without. hyperventilating. I I I don't even know. how to describe that action because he. physically and mentally can't. He.

doesn't have the capacity. Yet, he is. making very consequential decisions that. are getting our troops killed. They're. raising prices here at the pumps because. of his needless war in Iran that he just. haphazardly just decided to start with. no end in sight. And our troops are. dying because that man that we all saw. on that stage who can't control his own. impulses is at the helm. That should. strike fear in everyone. And not in like. a good way. Like not like a good like.

like that's a scary thing that that's. the guy with the nuclear football. Well, and it could get way worse. This could. be, you know, how the Trump regime says, you know, there was the banquet and the. appetizer and then there was going to be. an incredible prosperity. Just you wait, right? Actually, what we could be in for. and what we appear to be in for unless. there's intervention. imminently is this is just the. appetizer. You know, you have Netanyahu.

recognizing how severely ill it seems. Trump is. Netanyahu, also a severely. ill, sick, genocidal maniac, talking. about regime change, finish the job. He. and Donald Trump like these genocidal. furbies are out there, you know, reinforcing themselves and living in an. imaginary world where regime change in. Iran is as simple as dropping a MOAB, a. mother of all bomb on Pickax Mountain. and doing more aerial strikes and that.

that's going to make a difference. without the collateral consequences. where we just saw a small taste of what. that could be while the Trump regime. still covers up what is happening to our. bases. is in the Middle East, how. utterly destroyed they are, how. defenseless they are right now, and if. there is a catastrophic escalation of. this war in Iran, we will see trillions. of dollars of infrastructure in the. Middle East destroyed very rapidly by. Iran and the IRGC, which has its.

ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and. heightened better drones, better drone. uh technology. Um, and if you know, we. should never be involved in this. catastrophic war in the first place. If. you're talking about regime change in. Iran, which won't happen, you have to. commit troops and ground troops, not. just a few. You have to do a draft and. you'd have to get literally like. hundreds of thousands to millions of. soldiers would have to be sent to war in.

Iran based on how big it is, the. terrain, the amount of IRGC. If that's. really what your goal was, that's what. you'd have to do and you would still. lose. And even if you temporarily did. it, there would be a version of it that. likely would come back. That's what. we've seen in a history of regime change. generally in the region, but it won't. achieve its objectives. But when you say. these words, we're going to finish the. job, we're going to beat the [ __ ] out of. him, all this stuff which for Trump and.

you know is is words, it's meaningless. mush out of the deranged ranting and. ravings of a lunatic. That means life. and death. That means that means body. parts falling off, mass death, great. global economic depression. That's. that's what that means. That when he so. cavalerily says, "Well, we're going to. do this. We're going to do that. We're. going to do that." Okay, there's another. side to the equation. Iran and Iran has. demonstrated capabilities that are. serious and severe and they control the.

straight roads. Seven more tankers. destroyed in the straight of Hormuz and. around it in the past 24 hours. the. price of crude $114 a barrel or so and. it's continuing to go up. Um the US does. not control these trade or hormos. It's. a ridiculous lie that's retold over and. over and over again. Uh to use a VLCC, a. very large crude carrier costs a. million5 a day, $1.5 million a day. That. in and of itself, the risk premium adds. $30 to $33 a barrel of oil just with.

that alone. Even if you get the oil out. of these traded or what are we talking. about here? When we come back, I want to. talk about our exclusive reporting at. the Midas Touch Network. It's important. It's something that I haven't seen. anywhere else. We actually show you. what's going on in these bases across. the Middle East that have been destroyed. by Iran that have been left defenseless. And we hear from troops who shared their. story with us in Valor Media. Aaron. Parnes wrote the story along with Ken. Harba. It's having an incredible impact.

survey, let them know I sent you. Benji, what's up? >> Let's talk about the reporting that we. did here on the Midas Touch Network. I'm. so grateful for the work of our. editorial team, our writers, our. reporters here and across the world. I. mean, the great Aaron Parnes, veteran. Ken Harba, the team of veterans that he. has at Midas Defense and Valor Media, the great work that they've done when we. partner with them. Um, you know, Ken has. a lot of great segments that he does.

here, um, where we get into the real. weeds of, uh, defense issues and. obviously the platform that Aaron has. built. And we worked with Aaron when he. was literally in undergrad, right? As he. was starting law school like seven years. ago at this point or six years ago at. this point. >> For context, Aaron went to law school. when he was like 17. >> Yeah. Aaron went to law school and he. was like 12. Like Aaron is Aaron is. Doogie Hower. And yes, um but uh we by the way we do. talk about in WTF America our strategy.

you know in terms of how we bring people. and try to recruit people who are like. top corporate news the Scott McFarland's. the Katy Fangs who are leaving and they. want to be entrepreneurial and have. their own platforms but how we also grow. talent um and and promote talent you. know who these are people who I think. would have great careers without us um. but we try to do our best to help um as. much as we can and support their growth. and accelerate it. People, >> it's all part of building this.

prodemocracy infrastructure so that when. uh we have a story like this that we can. make sure that we are digging into it as. deeply as we can, that we're getting it. out to the most amount of people as. possible, that we can deploy it through. all forms of media, through Tik Tok, through the web, through Substack, through Instagram, you name it. And so. this story today uh has been going viral. and it's really um shocking reporting. and we've been working on this now for a. long time and so it's great to finally. get this out into the world and to let.

people know the truth about what's. happening on these bases. We've seen. some stuff about the bases. I haven't. seen stuff this detailed about our. military bases in the Middle East uh. from the attacks over the summer and and. other attacks. And here's our article. It's called So much worse than people. realize. Never-before-seen images. revealed damage at US bases as troops. described being abandoned. And uh like. like Ben said, this is us, Valor Media, uh uh Aaron Parnes, and we have, if you. go to the website, if you go to.

midestnews.com or or Substack Midas. Plus, you'll see we have a bunch of. photos, a bunch of videos, a bunch of. firsthand accounts from US troops, from. their families in the region, from. contractors in the region. And we're. getting photos like this, photos of. massive explosions on the bases. We're. getting photos of uh bunkers and. barracks destroyed, makeshift bunkers. being built um like our troops had to do. in World War II when they had no other. protection, digging into the ground in.

order to build their own foxholes. We. are seeing planes blown to shreds. The. stuff we are seeing in these photos and. what I'm showing right now to the folks. watching the podcast is truly shocking. and the comments from the troops, from. their families, from the contractors. also adds a whole other element to it. One key quote from this piece that one. of the uh service members said is quote, "It's so much worse than people. realize." And I want you to sit with. that uh for just a second. Not only is.

it worse than people realize, and you. see the evidence here in the various. photos that we're showing you, but it. seems like these troops have been. completely abandoned by the United. States government. One of the most. shocking things to me, and and this is. if this was any president, I'd be highly. critical of a president who abandoned. our troops overseas, especially in the. middle of our war. But our troops told. us that quote, "We are sitting ducks.". They said they've been facing constant.

incoming missiles and drones. They're. lacking adequate defenses, shelters, and. basic supplies. They're finding out. about a lot of what's going on by. watching the news, not actually learning. about it from people in the United. States government. And you just see just. these wrecks. Whether you're looking at. Saudi Arabia, whether you're looking at. Jordan, whether you're looking at. Kuwait, whether you're looking at the. UAE, where we saw these images of the. troops forced to dig their own foxholes. because they had no adequate shelter.

anymore due to the attacks. Bahrain, we. literally left behind the military. families. We did not. The evacuation. planes were apparently ready to go, ready to bring people to safety. and the. Pentagon, the Department of Defense. refused to authorize the departures of. the military families to bring them to. safety. Why? And we have a quote from a. family member, and if this doesn't make. your stomach turn, then I don't know. what will. The families told us, quote, uh they said that uh evacuation would.

quote make the situation look bad at. home. So you had our troops, their. families, the United States government. refusing to evacuate those people who. are at risk, who are in harm's way, whose bases had been bombed, refusing to. do it because they figured it would look. bad at home. They were more concerned. about the optics than they were about. the actual well-being of those. individuals. And you know, a lot of.

these families, they are living, you. know, close to these bases. there. There's, you know, American civilians. who are in Norwegians often times and. their homes shaking from the nearby. missile interceptions. You have like the. children now. Uh they say that they are. terrified when there are thunderstorms. back in the United States because it's. giving them flashbacks to the missile. interceptions, the missiles firing down. around them. And these people are saying. to us that they believe the United.

States government that Donald Trump, the. Department of Defense are using them as. pawns in this war. Here's another quote. right here. And I compiled these because. I wanted to make sure I was getting them. exact. As an American citizen, I felt. completely abandoned by my own. government. And here are some comments. from the troops. They said, "This is not. a normal deployment. No one was coming. to help. You just have to ride it out. and hope you survive. Some of us don't.

care if we live or die anymore. This is. appalling stuff and this is just the tip. of the iceberg of what's out there and. it's frankly a tip of the iceberg of. what's in the story. If you go to our. Substack midasplus.com, you could go. just become a free subscriber. You could. read the entire thing. We made this free. so everybody could access it. midasenews.com. You could check it out. there as well. But these reports are. wild. I'll show you uh a few of the. videos uh that we have in as well. We.

have some some of the clips from the. articles. I think this is from the. United Arab Emirates. An Iranian missile. evaded our air defenses and struck. dangerously close to American personnel. Let me show you this one. going the interceptors.

There's a miss. Interceptors aren't working. and. now let me show you another clip that. the Department of Defense that the Trump. regime did not want out there. Here's. never before seen footage of a missile. attack on a US base in the United Arab. Emirates. This shows a missile striking. just meters away from American personnel. caught out in the open. This is also.

from our reporting in the story. Check. this out. This is wild. You see just a massive explosion. really just meters away from the. American personnel here. A huge plume of. smoke explosions. This is the kind of stuff that's. happening out there. And this is the. kind of stuff that Donald Trump doesn't. want you to know about. This is the kind.

of stuff that Trump keeps saying. everything's going great. We're winning. the war. Everything's amazing. We. control the strait. We're doing. incredible. The fact is we're having to. evacuate all of our bases in the Middle. East because they're destroyed. They've. been destroyed. When Donald Trump says. something, remember it's always the. opposite. So what does Trump always say? Is I rebuilt the military so far back. I. built it up and it's so impressive now. It's so strong. Oh yeah, because we. literally don't have bases anymore. Because you let them get destroyed.

because of your haphazard actions, because of your failed war. And we could. just keep going through the photos here, but I mean these photos to me really uh. tell a story um you know beyond what. even my words can even do. But I but I. recommend you read read the story, read. the reporting. Um keep spreading the. word about this because that's you know. one of the key things about independent. media of course is you all running with. these stories and making sure. everybody's aware of the truth and. what's going on. >> Yeah. And every one of those.

interceptors that misses, by the way, depending on if it's a Patriot or a. THAAD, each one costs between $5 million. and 8 to10 million, and they usually. shoot as two, sometimes three. So, every. time you see one of those uh patriots or. THADs activated on the low end, you're. talking $10 million or potentially. you're talking $20 million. Whereas the. Iranian drones, 25 $30,000 to make an.

Iranian drone. Their cruise missiles. more like a h 100k. Their top. topofthe-line ballistics are like a. million bucks, but really you could do. one of their ballistics that are very. effective at a quarter of a million. dollars. And they've massroduced these. ballistics, these uh cruise missiles, these anti-ship missiles, these drones. and you know they have a massive. stockpile and they've demonstrated their.

ability um their ability to use it and. uh we're seeing that uh we're seeing. that take place. Meanwhile, you have. Iran's parliament leader MB Galib. He. continues to troll Treasury Secretary. Bessent and the Trump regime. His latest. post was Morpheus from the Matrix uh. saying 10 pills all bad, no red, no. blue, all suit. You don't have to take. any, but if you do, you will take all.

Break the manufactured matrix. Leave. And he's saying, you know, mortgages are. up, gas prices are up, debt is up, jets. are down, real wages are down, killed. soldiers are up, reputation is down, diesel is up, legacy is down, stocks are. down. And he's been posting a bunch of. that. Meanwhile, you had Treasury. Secretary Bessant out there saying, "Ah, economic outcast is working great. Operation economic outcast." And it's. like, okay, this past week you had.

Russia's foreign minister Lavrov met in. Iran in Thran with Iran's foreign. minister Aragchi talking about their. strong relationship together, their. cooperation. and across nuclear, across regional. security, economic cooperation, how their causes are one, their causes. are united. We've heard that. Um, we. also, uh, meanwhile saw Witkoff, he was.

in Russia meeting with Putin and Witoff. said, "Oh, Putin, you're such a. humanitarian. You're such an incredible. person. What a wonderful human being you. are." And so, we've seen Witoff do that. stick again. you know, great economic outcast where. you are sucking up and being a. bootlicker to Putin who's supporting. Iran in the catastrophic war that you. initiated while I mean like if you just. think about the stupidity of what it's. not a policy it's just literally acting.

dumb which is Russia is helping Iran. you invaded Iran created an oil crisis. which now you're using to say why you. need to buy Russian diesel and they're. helping I mean it's just it's it's. inexplicable except this is who Trump is. and then you know I'll leave you with. this one because there's so much we can. talk about but to me this sums up how. despicable he is where you know he keeps. going over and over again how great Vive. Ramwami's ad against Dr. Amy Actton was.

you know the Ohio governor's race it's. Dr. Remy Actton the Democrat a beloved. figure in Ohio uh who was there helpful. during the pandemic health policy over. there against Vive Ramaswami kind of a. lifelong scumbag you know everything. he's done has been filled with deceit. and trickery and just being an utter. phony so it's Vake versus Dr. Amy Actton. Vive is getting desperate. I mean, he. was trailing by a little bit in the. polls and now he's trailing by a lot, but you know, he was trailing. He runs.

this ad featuring Amy Actton's aranged. mother. You probably know the story, but. just to be very brief about it. She's. aranged because she took the side of Amy. Actton's stepfather. Amy Actton's. stepfather raped Amy Actton when she was. 12 years old and he was arrested. Um, and so Amy Actton and her brother when. they were young, they were moved into uh. another home obviously because the. stepfather was arrested. The aranged mom.

became estranged because she supported. her husband, the stepfather who was. sexually assaulting the daughter. And. then Amy Actton and the brother never. talked to their mom again because that's. the situation that happened over there. And so Vive Ramas Swami runs an ad from. the aranged mom saying my daughter's a. liar. Don't trust her. She's a serial. liar. And it was like universally viewed. like that was like a disgusting ad. Like. you know even there was Republicans and.

even the people I guess who supported. Fake were like dude that that's a really. bad that's a sick ad. You know you're. taking the do you realize what happened. to Amy Actton? Like who does that? And. Trump's like all in on this ad. And so. like what Trump that was a great ad. It's an amazing ad. Of course I'm. defending the mom. Why would we go after. the arange mom? And so like I'll just. show you. We'll just show one of them. here, Brett. Let's just show the one. where uh the reporter's like, "But do. you realize like what the situation even. is? Like do do you know what you're.

saying?" He's like, "No, no, but why but. why why are we mad at the mom?" Here, let's play this clip. >> Nothing wrong with him. Amy Actton's. mother said horrible things about Amy. Actton. And I don't know why you're not. allowed to do that. You're not allowed. to broadcast it. Now, I'll tell you. this. The press is ganged up because you. hate it because that one ad should. really win. Look, if what the mother. said about the daughter is half right, she has no right even running for the.

governor of Ohio. >> What a daughter said about mother. >> I don't know what the daughter said. I. don't know. her her stepmother, her. mother remained married to her. stepmother respectfully. >> Well, when did she make that statement? Was it just recently? >> You know, I have no idea. All I know is. Amy Actton's mother said horrible things. about Amy Actton, calling her a liar and. other things and unreliable, a lot of. very bad things. And I say that she's. fair game. And I know one thing, if it.

were my mother, I'd be fair game. And. you know that and you know that well. You're trying to help Amy Actton get. elected. The press has teamed up to help. Amy Actton get elected and that's all it. is. What the mother said is terrible. from the standpoint that I wouldn't want. somebody like that to be the governor of. a great state. >> I mean again just I've said it before. like Trump and his ilk are demons. They're demonic human beings. They're.

not even human beings. They're demons. They're just evil, putrid creatures who. are here to hurt you. That's who they. are. They are really just bad creatures. They are bad evil demons. They are deceitful. They try to pretend that they are with. they are demons. They are sick, sick, sick people. They cover up the Epstein. files. They cover up child sex. trafficking.

They get into catastrophic wars. They. slaughter little children. That. everything's a lie. Everything's a. deceit. There's There are demons among. us. There really are. There are demons. and evil things, evil creatures. And. they've inhabited the White House. Now, it's not a political message. It's just. sick, sick, sick, sick, sick demons. That's all I got to say. Brett Jordy. >> But wow, that's the perfect. encapsulation of MAGA uh right there. and this entire movement and everything. that's wrong, frankly, uh, with this.

entire era and our society can be some. that clip. And what a surprise that. Epstein's best friend and the person. who's covering up for the Epstein files, the person who's had many accusations. against himself would be now covering up. for a pedop protector, right? I guess. ped protectors stick together. That's. what Donald Trump is doing. Uh, I. imagine supporting someone's abuser. I. mean, this is really just horrific. stuff. I hope it backfires in the. biggest wave. If a Ramaswami deserves to.

be nowhere near the government, the. governorship, not because he's a. Republican, but because he's a scumbag, because he's a bad person, and that's. what a only what a bad person would do. is release that ad, then throw four and. a half million dollars behind it, play. it on C uh played on ESPN and all these. channels. Like, what a what a how cruel, what a what an absolute disgrace. And. anybody who supports that, to me, that's. a litmus test for you as an individual. like, can we actually get along? Can we. find commonality? Can we find a a place. where maybe we could disagree on some.

things but agree on some things? If you. believe that that is okay, then you're. you're dead to me. You know, you're. you're lost. You got to find your way. back because that is just some. reprehensible stuff. Reprehensible. stuff. >> Absolutely. Seeing Trump respond to. that, too. Also, again, uh it is a case. study in what a leader shouldn't do. Donald Trump says, "Never heard of it.". What? I I I don't know what what. happened. He He doesn't take any sort of.

account. Like, he's obviously been told. the entire scope of this story by now, especially when the reporters by the. time the reporters get to ask him, and. he just continues to play dumb. I found. it very interesting that Donald Trump. kept talking about, well, wow, that. Amy's acting her own mother said her. said this about her, said this about. her. Just got me thinking. Hey, you. know, Donald Trump, you seem to be. taking the words of of the mother. daughter relationship very seriously. here. Why didn't you take it seriously.

when Pete Hexa's mom came out and said. he was abuser of women when that was. well documented? It just goes to show. you that he like his his line of. thinking when it comes to this is again. it's it's a zero sum game to him in the. sense that he only views this is how can. ultimately this benefit me Donald Trump. how can this benefit MAGA me Donald. Trump and and my personal movement. He. doesn't stand for anything. He's a. disgusting creature that only wants to. move forward his own agenda no matter.

what trail of of violence and. destruction he kind of leaves behind. him. It's disgusting. And again, that on. full display right there, that is the. perfect encapsulation of MAGA, of what. Donald Trump stands for and that rot in. this society that will really be a. generational fight to to to get out of. here for good. I want to remind. everybody the book WTF America: The Way. Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy.

It's out now. If you were planning on. getting it, now is the time to do it. because this is when all of the kind of. first week lists come out. And so if you. are able to get it, the way out of this. hell and back to democracy, purchase it. now or get it as gifts for people that. you know. I think it's an important. work. I really do. And um it's dedicated. to the mightest mighty. We we write a. lot about this community, how this. community grew to become what it is, our.

philosophy about independent news, how. we are expanding internationally, what. that means, how we build these teams in. this decentralized way to do the type of. reporting that you're seeing, for. example, with our story about the. military bases, how we are optimistic. that since we've only been around for. six years and state regime media Fox. really developed 60 years ago with a. memo from Roger Als to Richard Nixon.

Where we can be in 40 to 60 years is. something that I actually think is a a. lasting legacy that we want to build for. for future generations for our children. and our grandchildren and your children. and your grandchildren or just future. generations of people that you know just. to leave the world a better place. That's all I got. Brett and Jordy, anything else you want to say? >> No, I think we covered a lot. Thank you. to everybody for your support. Thanks. for bearing with us when we talk about. the book.
