LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to MAJOR BREAKING NEWS - 10/29/26

Welcome to the Midas Touch podcast. A. lot to discuss. We are just days away. from the midterm elections. It is here, folks. And Donald Trump and MAGA are. getting more desperate than ever, meaning they're talking more about men's. asses. A lot of talk about Trump. cognitive and physical exams. Uh, a lot. of talk Donald Trump bringing up the. Epstein files as part of his closing. message as he keeps getting heckled at. all of these small venues that he I.

guess you could say he plays at. I don't. he's not really giving political. speeches. He goes there, he behaves like. an absolute lunatic. There are. occasional protesters who show up. He. talks about all this deranged stuff. He. makes weird noises. It's kind of like, what's he going to do today? Like, what's what's what's the crazy guy going. to do today? But as I contrast what. Trump is doing to what former President. Obama is doing, talking about issues and. policies, remember what Obama is saying, you know, and I think it's important. that this is what we talk about here.

that Donald Trump and MAGA want to. distract with all of this craziness. They're going to talk about the men's. asses and cognitive exams and all of. this deranged stuff because they don't. want to talk about what's actually. happening in this country right now. because Donald Trump has destroyed the. United States of America. He's destroyed. our alliances. He has destroyed our. military. He has destroyed our economy. He has destroyed people's health care.

He has destroyed people's ability to. afford anything. and he lies about every. damn thing all along the way. Every. sound syllable and utterance from his. mouth is a complete and utter lie. Now, we're learning also that Donald Trump, he was supposed to be heading to Kansas. for a speech, but he just cancelled. that. Lots of people believe that both. the uh Kansas uh MAGA Republicans over. there did not want him there based on. the damage that he causes all of the. places that he goes and also Donald.

Trump just sees he keeps getting heckled. about the Epstein files. So, I think. they're just going to keep him in Mara. Lago now for as long as uh as long as. possible. Um Donald Trump lashed out at. a Reuters reporter who just asked, you. know, are you getting tired or. everything okay? And Trump goes to this. Reuters reporter. We'll show you in a. little bit. And he's like, you're you're. you are disgusting. Look at you. You're. out of shape and you're gross and you're. just a disgusting physically. You're. disgusting human. I mean, he is falling.

apart right before our eyes. And at the. same time, it's important to remember. though, this is no laughing matter. Look. what he's done to our economy. Look at. the catastrophic war in Iran and the. consequences we've seen already. And now. we learned the US Army is starting to. practice digging mass battlefield graves. right now. The first time they've done. this since the Korean War. The US Army. soldiers are now training to bury fellow. troops in temporary graves in mass for.

the first times in decades, rehearsing. how the US military would respond if it. sustained a high number of casualties. while fighting a still blazing war. soldiers with the third core sustainment. command and the 20th engineer brigade. based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, as. well as religious support personnel like. military chaplain use diggers and. excavators to see how effectively they. could build mass graves in a war zone. This as the Trump regime is preparing.

for a massive escalation of this. catastrophic war in Iran. Senator Chris. Murphy warned about it in a conference. that he was just speaking at. We'll show. you what he had to say. And this also. comes at the same time that the Trump. regime fired a threestar lieutenant. general who's kind of the key advisor to. the chairman of the joint chiefs. The. guy's name is Lieutenant General Brett. Sylvia. He used to be the commanding. general of the 101st Airborne Division. before taking over this role called the.

J5 vice director, which is a director. for strategy, plans, and policy for the. joint chaff. That's joint joint staff. That's the chairman of the joint chief's. top adviser is Lieutenant General Brett. Sylvia. And for those who know about the. United States Army, I mean the Screaming. Eagles, the 101st Airborne Divisions, like one of the most storied, incredible. divisions. This guy was the commander of. that. And the Trump regime fired him. late last night, then defamed him. They.

said they polygraphed him and he's a. leaker and they're going after him as it. seems like he Trump and Admiral Cooper. in their little circle are out there. talking about how they'll do this. catastrophic escalation. It'll just be. three days of dropping MOABs and kind of. doing a Hiroshima Nagasaki style attack. on Iran but not using nuclear using. MOABs all over and that that will force. Iran to surrender. Iran's preparing to.

respond. So, we're going to cover all of. this and uh you know, this is all. happening right where we have these. midterm elections. Folks, we got a lot. to cover. Brett and Jordy, good to see. you. >> We certainly have a lot to cover. Good. to see you, Ben. Good to see you, Jordy. Good to see you, Midas Mighty. And. first, I got to say a huge thank you to. everybody for doing this. I mean, you. beat you beat Fox News. You beat the. corporate media who tried to keep us off. the air and you made us a New York Times. bestseller and we were number two on the. best New York Times bestseller list for.

our book WTF America: The Way Out of. This Hell and Back to Democracy. I am so. freaking grateful. And it's even cooler. when you look at some of the other names. on the list who we defeated like N. Gingrich who if you were watching Fox. over the past couple weeks, they were. like flooding the airwaves with this guy. to try to get people to buy his book. Then it turns out if you look at the New. York Times list, it has an asterisk next. to his book showing that most of his. purchases were bulk buys like for. giveaways or donors or or or whatever, not like factual purchases. And so he's.

right behind us. We were ahead of Brian. Kilme at Fox. We were head of Peter. Navaro. Uh like we we we beat that whole. machine, that multi-billion dollar. machine. This community did it. So thank. you so much to everybody who bought the. book, who was a part of this. Let's keep. it going. Let's stay on the list. uh. order the book now if you haven't yet. and it's so cool seeing people who have. gotten it for their friends as gifts and. and for local libraries and stuff like. that. So just thank you from the bottom. of our hearts. Honestly, it's like the. cra I got the chills yesterday. I like.

couldn't even believe it. I had tears in. my eyes. So thank you. Also huge. announcement. So this is really freaking. cool, you guys. And this is the first. time that we're announcing this to the. public right here. So Midas Touch now. has a 247. live streaming network. You heard that. right. I'm really excited about this, too. You're going to get all the Midas. touch content all day from Ben, from us, from people like Scott McFarland, from. Legal AF, from Katie Fang, from.

Tennessee Brando, from Aaron Parnes, everybody. It's going to be on one. streaming channel going 247, all the. shows. And you could watch it if you go. to Prime Video, Fire TV. It's on a. service called Local Now. If you know. local now, you just sign up for free and. you'll find the MTN channel. Just go to. the news channel guide when you go to. those apps and or just search the Midas. touch network and you'll see it and you. could have it on in the background in. your house all day and just have it. streaming. And this is so cool. This is. part of our vision right now to just.

continue to expand into more platforms. and get this message out there. And we. could not do it without you. We are. super super excited. Now I'm going to. turn it over to Jordy to see what's the. latest with Jordy. But I was excited. I. wanted to get that out from. >> brothers mightest mighty. I I could. spend 10, 15, I could spend the entire. episode just thanking you guys from the. bottom of my heart, you know, helping us. get we we this team, you prodemocracy. community. We are on this list together. When we're number two on that list, that. is all of us. And it's because the power.

of this group, this community, the. mightest mighty. I just I'm so grateful. genuinely from the bottom of my heart. for your guys' passion, dedication to. the truth, just relentless effort out. there. So, thank you all so much. Let's. run this back week over week because you. know those folks at Fox News that. they're real pissed that we're ahead of. them. They got a lot of tricks up their. sleeve. I I got to say the New York. Times, I didn't realize it. They do the. funniest thing. I love it. So, when you. look at N, you know, on that list, there's like a little scarlet letter, if. you will. has like a dagger under his. name and I guess it signifies that like.

look I'm not all I'm saying is I I'm. just reading what the New York Times. says when they put that little uh cross. under new's book is like it says uh bulk. orders like just basically something. like that. Anyway, I think that's the. funniest thing ever. Thank you guys from. the bottom of my heart. I am so excited. to get going for this show. Benji, where. we started off, we were talking about. Donald Trump and just his his his uh. absurdness. I said this in a previous. show, and I think I'm proven to be right.

even more as we go forward here. This is. like MAGA Elvis, you know, in those last. couple of days during Elvis's residency. in Vegas, right? The crowds are. dwindling. People aren't as locked into. his rallies as they used to. He's. getting heckled. The the the the. ferocity, it's just not there for Donald. anymore. And so I think it's, you know, on full display. We have a couple of. super cuts that we cut here that we're. going to show in a little bit. I mean, it's just it's really striking to see. that like that's the president of the. United States. So Benji, where are we.

starting off today, Big Bro? >> I think we talk about the dagger, Jordy, one more time about N. Gingrich's book. And uh for extra emphasis, emphasis. supplied that. I'm just saying, you. know, Nuke Gingrich was promoting the. hell out of that book on state regime. media Fox and we barely got an invite to. any corporate news and he needed the. dagger apparently and uh we still beat. him and we beat Brian Kilme. So now. >> isn't it a total paint it blue moment. again though for like right-wing.

ecosystem right-wing media like he he. couldn't do it on his own mer paint it. blue let like get on that list any any. way necessary. I'm not saying who bought. the books for new, but it's clearly. there. >> I'm not sure that's fully what I meant. by the painted blue, but I understand we. can extrapolate that he he was trying to. Well, let's just say this. They're all a. bunch of con artists. And I know people. say, "Well, don't call him a con artist. because it has the word artist in it. They just lie. Everything's a scam. Everything's a freaking grift with these.

people." But Jordy, as you mentioned, you know, it's like a struggling artist. who's now playing small venues and no. one really wants to see him anymore. Um, it's really what this like. He's not. he's playing venues and he's playing. high school gyms basically at this point. or he's playing airport hangers at this. point. And they set it up so when you. see it on camera, it's hard to really, you know, see. But why don't we show a. super cut that Brett made? And Brett's.

the best at making these super cuts that. show the contrast between Donald Trump. at a high school gym in Ohio, while you. had former President Obama and Senator. Oaf at a massive arena in Georgia. Let's. play him. We named a lovely lake named like Lake. Ontario.

>> Jeffrey, the president wasn't even mad about the. Saddam Hussein comparison. THAT PART DIDN'T BOTHER HIM. But he was very upset. about the Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said, "I. didn't understand the work of the. artisans in the White House." It's all. crazy, but this was the really crazy. part. They mobilized a whole of.

government response to that joke. Not to. inflation, but to that joke. But will. you two guys stand up, please? Everyone. thinks they're my best friends. I don't. know. Black joke. There's only two tonight. What's going on? >> These are not serious people. They don't. have solutions to actual problems. So, they'd rather have the media and you. talking about the Cheesecake Factory. That's the game they've been playing for. the last two years. Just keep throwing.

distractions out there. Attacks, fabrications, phony outrage, and hope that you won't. notice THAT YOUR BILLS ARE HIGHER AND. your life is tougher. We I passed three. cognitive tests. >> It passed. You know what? It reminds me. of you. >> How could he get better than Barack. Obama? >> Who was it? Was it Mike Meyers on.

Saturday Night Live who did an. impression of like a grandma who talked. about Barbara Stryand? Do you know the. SNL skit? Like, do you like Bob Stysan's. legs? You know, like, you know, Bob. Stan's do you know? No clue what I'm. talking about. >> Oh, you know what it was? You know it. was welcome to coffee talk. You remember. like this is what Donald Trump is doing. Welcome to coffee talk. Have you seen. Barbara Stri ads like no clue what this. reference is? >> Yeah. You know you're an older. millennial. I'm sure a lot of our.

audience know the reference. >> Yeah. A lot of our audience is going to. know. You know I was more you know my. era was like Tina. >> F talk amongst yourselves. >> That was the line talks amongst. yourselves. I. >> I love it. First off the heckling too is. so good. the the Robbie Road steamer out. there and like all these people going to. the rallies and and doing that. He. picked the perfect time for to say that. He waited till Trump is really freaking. genius. He waited till Trump stepped. aside from the microphone to do one of. his stupid bits with his hands and then.

he struck and Trump was caught. flatfooted and Trump like looked and he. and he wasn't at the mic to do the go. home to daddy like he wasn't ready for. it and it was really just one of the one. of those. >> bad he studied the game tape. He knew. what strike. That wasn't an accident. there. >> And you know, one of the things I. noticed though too about the difference. between Obama and Trump, aside from the. everything because that's completely. different. Um, Obama works in the humor, right? He's a showman, but he's also. focusing in on the issues and he makes. all the things that the Trump regime.

does look so incredibly small. And you. know, talking about how they weaponized. how they used this whole of government. response in order to respond to his. cheesecake factory joke, I thought was. completely brilliant and relating that. to inflation and the Trump regime not. wanting to speak about these actual. issues. And in a way, you know, people. often talk about, you know, don't take. Trump's bait. He's baiting you. Don't. take the bait. Trump took Obama's bait. here so bad. He sent out the entire. government to talk about the freaking.

Cheesecake Factory for days and days and. days the week before the midterms when. people are looking for answers right now. to some serious And so it was. honestly just the most brilliant thing. that was a knockout blow uh I thought by. Obama there. One of the big differences. in these rallies is when Obama's there. and he's there with Kesha Lans Bottoms. and John Oaf. Kesha Lance Bottoms and. John Oaf speak. They actually give. speeches and they're good speeches and. they have a lot of heft to them. They're. talking about the issues. When Trump's.

up there and he is there theoretically. to promote a Senate candidate, they. don't speak. He like brings him up like. like it's like a cameo. Come up here. Come up here for a second. And then like. they like whisper something into the mic. and he's like that's enough. That's. enough. And he sends him back down. It's. it's just the most bizarre thing you. have ever seen in your life. We have the. clip, Brett, of Darling Graham from. earlier today in South Carolina. It's a. perfect example of that where Trump gave. her like literally 12 seconds to speak.

and it's like, "Okay, well, what are you. going to say?" And she I. >> I think this is it. Let's let's let's. play it. >> Are we going to let her do that? >> I don't know about you, but I will not. allow the liberals and socialists to. turn South Carolina blue. You know what? They can just kiss my. ass. >> Are you going? >> Is he the greatest president ever? Yes.

USA. USA. USA. >> Are you going to let her in fre. Are you gonna let them transgender your. child? Are you going to let them take. away that beef jerky from your mouth? You know, Donald Trump, USA, USA, he. loves a big stack of meat in his mouth. You know, my man Donald USA, YOU GOING.

TO TAKE. >> WHY WHY DID it sound like when she was. chanting USA that she was like, she kept. trying to think of the next letter for. the USA? I've never heard such a. lackluster USA chant. >> You know, this is this old president. right here. He makes sure that they. don't transgender your child and and. he's gonna protect the Olympics. He's. gonna protect the Olympics from you. He. loves a big old pile of MEAT RIGHT DOWN. HIS THROAT. DO YOU KNOW THAT ABOUT BIG.

DONALD? And Donald Trump's like, "Give. me the meat. Give me the meat." And you. watch this and you're like, "What am I. watching? GIVE ME THE BIG MEAT. YOU'RE. HOT. YOU'RE HOT. LET ME SEE YOUR ASS. KISS." I MEAN, you watch this thing and. it is like the most direct. I mean, my. description there. I could show you the. other clips. He said all of those things. that I just said. >> Yeah, those are actual direct. >> quotes. And he did the hand gesture of. taking a big. >> meat meat to the mouth. Yeah, he Yeah, he he he did indeed. You know, when you. watch those Trump events, they they.

don't feel like political rallies. They're like WWE events. And, you know, I think that's kind of the point of. them. And it just goes into Donald. Trump's whole kind of weapon of mass. distraction. His whole everything he. does is designed to try to get you to. forget about the real problems and the. people who are causing those problems in. your life. And those people are uh many. of the wealthiest Americans who are. exploiting the system. Uh Donald Trump's. friends, the Trump regime, I mean, he. wants to distract from all of that. And.

so he'd rather speak about John. Houston's ass all the time than speak. about that John Houston is the face of. data centers, right? He doesn't want to. he doesn't want that to come up. And so. he's constantly trying to say, "Look. over here, look over there." And even as. you see, you know, in the crowds, the. way they go after these protesters and. everything, it looks and feels more like. a WWE event than something that belongs. in our political system. >> Yeah. >> Let's take our first break of the show. We've got a lot more to discuss and one.

of the things I want to talk about when. we get back is vote hub has changed the. Texas US Senate election race from tiltd. to lean D in Texas. Then we saw the. polling data out this morning in all of. these races in the Senate. Democrats. surging ahead by large margins. I guess. the American people are not feeling the. closing message about Donald Trump. feeling ass and Donald Trump talking.

about uh cognitive exams or Donald Trump. now threatening to further escalate the. war or Donald Trump and the United. States military planning to do mass. graves for service members after they. draft Americans for the catastrophic. escalation. I guess that that's not a. sell to the American people. But I'll. say this. I'm so damn proud of everyone. who's a part of this community. Here we. are. We're stronger than ever. And we're. going to keep on freaking fighting until.

the end. We're not going to back down. And what we talk about in WTF America is. building the structures, the systems. It's a generational play right here so. that we can do the fire hose of truth. internationally to fight the fire hose. of lies which is the MAGA authoritarian. globalist network which we'll talk more. about when we come back from our first. quick break. Get your copy if you. haven't got it yet. I know it's sold out. at a lot of bookstores. You can support.

your independent bookstore. Get it. wherever it's sold. WTF America the way. out of this Helen back to democracy a. New York Times bestseller number one in. politics number two overall beating Nuke. Gingrich and Brian Kilme and they had. the whole state regime media propaganda. network behind them and we had you this. community and that's all we ever need. Let's take our first break. A lot of people use nicotine as a. pre-workout thinking that will actually. make their pump and their workouts. better. The reality is it's the complete.

opposite. Nicotine is actually. detrimental to your workouts because it. narrows your blood vessels and restricts. oxygen delivery to muscles which. directly contract the pump that you want. to get out of your workout. That's why I. started using ultra pouches and they've. been a complete game changer for my. workouts and energy levels. I've been. using them for a month now and ultra. pouches are like the ideal thing for. athletes, runners, and healthconscious. people because they are 100%. nicotine-free. These give you an instant. focus and energy boost without the vasco.

constriction, crash, and addiction that. come with nicotine. They use clinically. proven neutropics and adaptogenins to. deliver immediate focus and smooth. energy that lasts 1 to two hours. Just. pop one pouch in 5 minutes before you. run, workout, or workday. And you'll. feel it sharpen your mind and lift your. energy by the time that you start. Ultra. pouches have a shorter halflife than. caffeine, so they won't disrupt your. sleep. I keep these in my gym bag. And. for that extra push needed before my. workout, I pop one in and honestly see. the difference every single time. Keeping them at my office or right.

beside my computer when I start my day. has been a real game changer cuz it. helps me focus and absolutely lock in. 90% of users saw significant. improvements in their overall focus. levels while using Ultra pouches. Ultra. is the ultimate guilt-free pouch, delivering instant focus and mental. clarity without nicotine or caffeine. New customers can use code Midas to get. 15% off at takeultra.com.

I. was like, "Where is he?" Because we're. always talking to each other. And then. boom. Well, that was pretty loud. Uh, that super cut launched and I'm like, "This is fire." And then posted it up. everywhere. I think it has a couple. million views across the different. social platforms. Excellent work there, B.

>> Let me show you what went down. Usually. ago, Benji, let me throw it to you. >> Yeah, I know. I mixed it up. >> Keeping everyone on their toes tonight. Uh, let's take a look at what was. happening in South Carolina before that. speech went down. Fox was interviewing. somebody who was there. So, why are you. here this morning? Fox asked. And let me. show you. That's a perfect response. It. sums up everything here. Let's play it. >> Tom, why are you here this morning? >> Well, in the late 70s, I was a little. too young to get involved and um go to.

South America for the Jonestown. Massacre, but this is as close as I'll. ever get, so that's why I'm here. >> Wait, the Jonestown Massacre? That's. right. >> There's nothing like seeing a cult right. up front, man. >> All right. So, maybe maybe this is not a. Trump support right now. >> It's okay. We'll find over. I appreciate. that. See, >> Speaking of the cult, Brett, do we have. that Katie Zakaria clip where she was on. Piers Morgan. It was actually a pretty. good interview that Piers Morgan gave. where Zakaria was responding and Piers. Morgan was like, "Are you like a robot?

Like, what what are you even saying to. me?" Right? Like, >> I haven't seen this. Have you have you. do we have the clip? Yeah, just just. just watch this. Let's play it. >> Pierce, I will keep private. conversations between the president and. myself confidential. I will say that. what I what I've always wanted to do. conversation. You asked what I said. You. asked what I said, Pierce. That is not. what you That's not what you said on the. South. You asked.

>> Katy. Katy, come on. Katie, he's told. he's told the entire world what he said. >> I'm not going to mince words or split. hairs over this. I will not disclose. private conversations that I've had with. the president. I will keep fighting for. him every single day. No matter how hard. the media wants to spin, no matter how. hard anchors, pundits, reporters, journals want to spin what he is doing. and focus it on me. I will continue. fighting for him. I am ruthlessly loyal. I always have been and I will continue. to be pierce. This interview should not. be about me. It should be about the fact.

that we have less than 5 days away from. the midterms. that Katie Katy Katie Katy the whole. point of the interview was it was about. you. You know that and I know that. So. come on, let's cut the crap here and. have a serious genuine conversation. You. sounded like a robot. Has Donald Trump. got some program plugged into you to. make you come out with all this stuff? >> It's a question I have for like all of. them, by the way. What the What the heck. is this?

>> WTF? >> WTF? Is this Katie Zachariah? What is. the tour that she's on right now? You. were in the position for like four. hours. Why you even on TV? Why you on. Why are you in like the news? Why you in. Page Six? Why you on TMZ? Like Like that. doesn't happen by accident like most of. the time. I I keep seeing these articles. like Katie Zakaria taking a stroll. getting the last laugh on Sunset. Boulevard. >> She got more press from corporate news. than we did on WTF America. My god, that. is so true. Number two bestseller. Not a. peep. Not one.

>> No one no one wanted to interview us on. any of their corporate news. Bre like. got like two. >> I got two hits on Ms. Now shout out to. them for having me on. >> Literally nobody wanted to talk. And And. look, it's just funny because it's the. number two book in the country. It's the. number one podcast in the country. It's. the number one video on the country. And. so you would just think, and by the way, I was telling the brothers and I was. telling the PR team at the book, I said, "Look, I I'll be honest. I said, "I. really don't want to go on corporate. news." I I said, "But I'll be a team. player. So, you get me on The View. You.

get me on, you know what? Today's show, you get me on any of them." We We talked. about shows where I thought these people. liked us from the past. I don't know. I'm kid, but go ask that person. Go ask. I'll be a team player. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Brett got Nicole Wallace and. you got Ariel. Yes. And shout and shout. out to them. I I like. >> No, they got great. You got. >> No, they're wonderful. They're. wonderful. I'm saying. this out. They tried to I'm I'm happy. about that, but I'm saying, you know, she's on a she's getting all this press.

about, I don't know, being a perform. They are shameless. They are shameless. in their incompetence. Cuz you're right, she's getting all this press for being a. loser. >> She did the worst anyone could probably. ever do in a job. She had eight minutes. up there and it was that big of a train. wreck where she was like in the next day. and now she's Katie Zachariah gets the. last laugh strolling down. What are we. talking about? >> Loser.

>> You know I you know I I like this show. and it's brothers cuz we get to be a. little looser and we get to speak about. in insider stuff. But at a certain point. like when we were approaching publishing. day of the book I was like I thought. they were going to put us on TV show. I. was like I thought they were going to. put us on TV show. >> Do I be doing a book tour? Do I go out? Do I do I go on TV? Why does this look. very different? >> And then I kept asking them and and I. was like I said, so did anyone book us? Like I know. >> my wife was deeply concerned. She's. like, "So, are you going to like go on. any like shows?" I'm like, "I don't. know. No one wants. >> I don't know." Yeah.

>> And then like, you know, the answers we. got were kind of like, you know, a. little bit Hollywood speak. And then Ben. texts us and he goes, >> "I think I know what's happening here.". >> Yeah. >> They all said no. They're trying to be. nice about it when they tell us that. they all said no. none of them want us. on. And so we said that to when we had. like our meeting with the like the. publisher group, we were like just be. honest with us like everyone said no, right? And they were like. okay. >> great team great obviously outstanding. the book. >> It's not them it's.

amazing. >> They're incredible and they were trying. to protect our feelings and then we're. just like oh we know we know. >> whatever I got to thick skin. But the. thing is when they were trying to. protect our feelings like as brothers we. don't protect each other's feelings like. like you couldn't have more direct blunt. conversations that sometimes is too. blunt and too direct you know when it. comes to all of that. >> So true. >> Ben's Ben's cutting out a little bit. right now. I'm sure he'll be back in. >> corporate media trying to ice him out. from this. >> Trying to ice him out. Comcast.

>> first. First this is the first time. we're on TV live streaming our 247. channel. Explain to me. and they cut and they cut Ben out and. now he's. >> and they cut me out. They cut me out of. the show right as I was going in for the. >> he was going in. Here's Let's Let's. Let's get back into it. Uh. >> back to the show. Back to the show. >> Can I Can I say this though? Um one of. my favorite I think genres of Heckler. right now is like the person who. presents as MAGA and isn't MAGA. Like. that guy. Like I understand why they.

went to that guy. You know, Fox went to. that guy. They thought for sure. for. sure like like no like there's no ain't. no chance because in their mind they've. also cooked up these stereotypes about. Democrats right I mean think about what. Fox you know and and there's nothing. wrong with any of these stereotypes at. all I want to be clear before but you. know oh the they have the colored hair. and the cats and the this they they just. paint this picture as like there's this. one thing that Democrats are when it's a. whole lot of people and people of all. different kinds a very diverse group of. people who oppose Trump most people.

oppose Trump and So they go to these. people who they think are going to be. Trump supporters. That's why Robbie. roadste you know was able to get in too. because he you know presents himself. like could be whatever and it just keeps. happening and you know while I'm on this. subject I'll just play also Vive Rama. Swami walked into the same exact trap. from a guy also that presented as a MAGA. guy and he probably thought this is my. safe space. I'm going to get a good. moment and then this happened.

Save say pedophiles. >> Oh, you what are you talking about, man? >> Come on. I really want to say. >> why are you associated with so many. >> Sam Hill? That that that clip, by the way, is so. interesting to watch because when he's, you know, when the guy does his thing. there, VC really shoves his shoulder. like I don't know if you guys see he he. really shoved him away and then he tries.

to overcompensate it with like this. really hokey big smile and grin as he. steps away to talk about to the next. family. >> Yeah, but but he but he was pissed. He. was like, "No, not that. Don't say that. Don't say that. Why would he say that?". And the guy was a real push for for for. those who couldn't hear your push. assault. It honestly you could probably. like press charges there. There was uh. in case you didn't hear what he said, um. instead of say cheese, he said say. pedophiles. And then uh Vivbec was like, "Why would you say that? Why would you. say that? Why would you say that?" And. the guy's like, "Well, you sure do hang. around with a lot of them." And then all. Vicc wanted to do is go on. And then he.

basically said that Vic doesn't have a. chance in hell of winning. >> Well, look, it's really important that. we don't lose sight, and this is why. it's good that this is happening right. now, that people are bringing attention. to the Epstein files. Like here on the. Midas Touch Network, Midas Touch host. Katie Fang has been pursuing the one of. the biggest, if not the biggest lawsuits. under the Epstein Transparency Act, which by the way, she won a major. victory the other day where the DC. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the. Trump's request that they uh that the. entire case be stayed because there's.

irreparable harm if they have to review. foreign language documents that are in. the Epstein files, which they uh refuse. to produce. But a lot of this that we're. seeing right now, it's Epstein files. related, right? Like, so if you go back. to the origin of the Midas Touch network. and you start watching my early videos, I was talking about Paulo Zoli. I was. talking about the KitKat Club. I was. talking about, you know, all of the. sexual assault allegations against.

Donald Trump. I was talking about the. Epstein connection. I was talking about. the Mara Lago spa. I was talking about. Virginia Grey. I was talking about all. of this stuff. 2022, 2023, and we were. all here for that journey together. And. I think we were all saying, "Why isn't. like anybody covering this?" Like, what? I said, "This is it. This is everything. right here." And frankly, why weren't. the Democrats talking about this in. 2024? And like, why why were you. ignoring this glaring thing? And why do. you still ignore that this guy's a.

sexual predator? Like, why are people. afraid to say Donald Trump is a sexual. predator? He's been found civily liable. for sexual assault. He's on audio. bragging about sexually assaulting. women. He says he's rich and he can do. it because he's rich. He's on audio. bragging about using beauty pageantss. where there are young girls in his. beauty pageantss where he goes into the. locker rooms and looks at him naked. He. says because when you own it, you get to. inspect him. He says he's sick. He's a. sick sick sick person. Why do we ignore. the fact that this guy's a felon? Like.

he's actually a criminal. Like he's a. real criminal felon. like he was. adjudicated as such by a jury in a. business records case. He's a. bankrupter. He's a loser and he's. dragging us all into this, you know, and. so yeah, the guy who covered up the. Epstein files then launched a. catastrophic war as all the Epstein file. documents were being unearthed. Congress. basically worked, what was it, Jordy and. Brett? 14 days. Basically, after the. Epstein files started to, you know, come. out, they worked like 14 days. They shut.

down Congress. They wouldn't show up to. work then. >> They didn't show up to work over a cover. up of a child sex trafficking ring. Like. it's it couldn't be more clear and. obvious. And then they went into this. war to cover up the Epstein files. And. everybody understands that. And you know. who and this is why like the Epstein. files is I'm not even sure what I'm. trying to do with my with my glasses. here, but I'm just going to keep on. going with this. You know, I'm I think. I'm trying to make like a bow and arrow. and I'm just gonna keep on doing this. even though it makes no sense and and. it's not even going to make any sense. and I'm gonna keep describing it without.

actually saying what I'm saying. It's. it's so on target about everything. because the Epstein class, the. oligarchs, the people who get us. involved in the neverending wars, all of. they're the same people. All of this is. inextricably intertwined and connected, which is why the unearthing of the. Epstein files and the outing of all of. these people at the very top, they've. all lost it. They are losing it. And. that's one of the reasons you actually.

see a lot of the postw World War II. architecture collapsing. But even. embedded in the Epstein files, you see. Epstein as an agent of the Epstein. class. all of these world leaders who. wanted to tear down the postworld war II. systems and structures so that in the. anarchy in the chaos they could loot and. steal and make a lot of money. I mean. you had Epstein talking with leaders of. various countries about shorting the.

ruble right when there was going to be. the uh annexation unlawfully of Crimea. See he's talking about that. They're. talking about how they can manipulate. the Bitcoin and crypto markets together. They're talking about the precursors to. the data centers. They're talking about. all of these ma, you know, um, putting. in power all of these right-wing puppet. regimes that will give all of their. resources to the Epstein class. People. like the Bolsinaros, people like the. MBS's, all of this is in the files in.

addition to, of course, the child sex. trafficking. It's all wound up in the. same thing. And once we make those. connections, it becomes very clear what. the hell is happening. And it's like. we're about to go into this like world. war right now. And we basically are. There's regional wars everywhere as the. Epstein class is freaking out as you. have, you know, Donald Trump, one of the. biggest, you know, Epstein classers in. my view that there, you know, that there.

are. And you know, from all of the. reporting, he's got Admiral Brad Cooper. and Hegsith. They've been planning and. plotting that right after the midterm. elections, they're going to do this. catastrophic escalation. They say, "Don't worry, it's going to be very. short and Iran is going to surrender. right away. They're going to surrender. right away, and then it'll all be over. Then they'll want to do a deal." They're. not going to want. sabotaging us again. Sabotaging us. again. You know, I think what's been.

saying is they're trying the same failed. strategies over and over and over again. They think that they could bomb Iran. into submission and that Iran will. eventually relent. That if the the issue. with the war, the issue with operation. epic and they never say it was an issue. because they they say it's perfect. Everything was perfect. They obliterated. uh Iran, the nuclear program, yet we. need to stop their nuclear program. Okay, a lot of double talk. But the in. according to the Trump regime and all. their kind of plans and all the news. that's coming out, if they just bomb.

Iran just a little bit more, they're. going to get them to surrender. But. that's just not how this works. And if. you study geopolitics in the region, heck, if you just look at the previous. wars that America has been involved in. in the region, look at Iraq, look at. Afghanistan, go further back to. different areas to Vietnam. You can't. bomb your way into success in a lot of. these situations. These are big. countries, too. Like, like Iran is a big. country with what 90 million people.

It's vast. It's been around for a very. long time. And in order to actually. achieve those objectives, and by the. way, I oppose this war 100% and we. should not be there. But if Donald Trump. sincerely wanted to achieve those. objectives, you would have to have a. mass mobilization of ground troops, and. it would lead to absolutely devastating. results. It would lead to so many of our. troops being put in harm's way, so many. of our troops being killed, so many. innocent people in Iran being killed. And that is what Donald Trump is.

pushing. That's what BB Netanyahu is. pushing. That's what they are trying to. say. If only we just bomb them a little. more, then we will get success in this. war. whatever that means to them. But. that's just not how it works. Re the. reality is you need to have diplomacy, especially at this stage, especially. when US interceptors are dangerously low. and we basically run out of weapons and. we're in a very, very bad situation. You. could say, but aren't they bleeding Iran. dry right now? Right? Iran's economy uh.

has taken a hit. Inflation is high in. Iran. Yes, I I'll concede that inflation. is high in Iran and that their economy. has certainly taken a hit, but they're. adapting and they're also resilient. because they know that this is. existential for them and they're not. going to let a bad economy collapse. their entire way of life and way of. being. They're going to continue to. fight this, you know, no matter what. And they know that they hold a key to. the western economy with the straight of. hormuz and with other uh choke points.

where oil flows and where diesel flows. and where there are major implications. on global markets. They will continue to. push those buttons every day while Trump. continues to say they they're begging me. for a deal. They want a deal. I I really. don't understand what the I mean there's. no strategy here, but there was anou. It. was meticulously negotiated. Uh it was. uh lopsided. Honestly, it wasn't it. wasn't a great deal for the United. States, but it made sense considering. where we are, the position that Donald. Trump has put us in. And then Donald.

Trump broke theou and now here we are. and there's no end in sight. And Iran. really has not budged on their terms. Like if you look at the terms from theou. that the United States agreed to, that's. what I keep seeing Iran asking for right. now. And it's Trump, unfortunately. It's. our own government that keeps moving the. goalpost every day. We do not have. leadership at the highest level of. government that is able to actually. effectively lead us out of the situation. that Donald Trump has gotten us into. because Donald Trump has surrounded. himself by a bunch of yes people that.

just simply want to do anything Trump. says jump. They say how high. How can. they pe appease dear leader? It's. absolutely pathetic where we are as a. country right now and it's going to. continue to get worse. 21 troops that we. know of are dead because of this. senseless war that we're in right now. Because Donald Trump is trying to cover. up from the Epstein files. This the. reason why we're in this war. Make no. excuse of it. That that that's the. reason. It is absolutely dangerous and. despicable that there is not someone at.

the helm to lead us out of this. To have. the courage to tell Donald Trump enough. is enough. You've lost this. We have to. get out because we have to get our. economy back here in the States going. again. And we have to get our troops. home safely. Troops be damned. Donald. Trump hates them. That's what I see. That's what I see when I'm witnessing. this play in every single day. He hates. our troops. I come to no other. conclusion. There isn't another. conclusion because Donald Trump only. cares about one thing, and that's. himself. And so long as this continues. to, I don't know, allow Donald Trump to.

again, I guess, hide from the Epstein. files, he's going to continue to do. this. There is no way out of this right. now under this current Trump regime. It. is despicable. anyone who's America. This isn't just like a Democrat talking. point. Like I I don't even view myself. as political. I view myself as someone. who loves this country and who hates. seeing our troops be killed because of. Donald Trump. So I don't care what. political party you're from. You should. say that's not right. That there is no. strategy behind this. And what Donald. Trump is doing right now is reckless and.

deplorable. Benji. >> Benji's on mute. He's just being totally. sabotaged. He's holding up the book W. Is it is it your first stream or first. time on live or what?

So I'm just. going to switch it up. Be a little. loose, you know? Speak, you know? >> I think it's a combination of a few. factors. I think that we are very close. to the midterms and we've worked very. hard collectively as this community. So. there is a little bit of feeling of.

we're here. I do feel good. We put it. all out there. I'm honored to be with. everybody. And so I actually feel maybe. paradoxical because we're in a very. serious moment. I feel a little looser, you know, because now I feel like we're. almost on autopilot if that makes sense. Like to me the most important times of. what we need to do. This is what I said. to somebody in an interview today. I. said the most important day is going to. be actually like what we start to do on. November 9th, 10th, and 11th because.

that's the time when people think like, okay, I don't need to do anything. anymore. The election's over. I'm like, no, that's really when independent news. needs to be as strong as possible. You. know, towards the end of the election. and Obama comes in. you know, the. candidates are hopefully good candidates. and run good campaigns. You know, at. some point they're going to do their. thing, right? And we're not political. operatives. You know, I'm if I see a. good speech, we're going to platform a. good speech of an Obama or an Assaf or.

Dr. Abdul Elsad or you name the person, right, on the Midas Touch Network. Um, but our work is really like in a. marathon like we're miles three to like. 24, right?

It's just news. Here's what this. person's saying. Here's what that. person's saying. Here's what it is. Here's what's going on. Inform the.

people. Then we have the vote and we. cover the election. By the way, make. sure everybody watches our election. coverage um on Tuesday. It's going to be. a very big day. We're going to have. Scott McFarland and Katie Fang are. co-hosting it. Luke Rael, who's our. White House correspondent, will be on. that team as well. I'm going to have a. role kind of introducing everything. Then I'm going to toss it to Katie and. Scott. They have a studio in Washington. DC. We're going to have guests. throughout the day. So, I want to remind.

everybody about that because it's a. really big deal. >> It's in studio. Katie and Scott are. going to be together. >> live from Washington DC and and Ben will. be plugging in remote and we're gonna. have a lot of guests coming in and out. You know, senators, governors, uh you. know, a lot of people who who you'll. want to hear from on election night. And. we're getting started at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time uh Monday, uh Tuesday, sorry, the 4:30 Eastern time Monday, uh. right here on YouTube. And it's going to. be uh on our 247 streaming channel. So. you can watch it at both places. And.

right after this ends, if you're. watching on YouTube, it's actually going. to send you over to that stream where. you could set your reminder tonight so. that YouTube will notify you uh the. moment that uh you know that we're that. we're going live right before we go. live. >> All right, let's talk about what went. down on the tarmac a little bit earlier. >> Dogs are excited about it. >> My dogs are excited about it. >> You're chaos. You're chaos. >> Is your first pod? >> You're a tornado. I I'm a It is an. absolute is an absolute tornado right.

now. >> Why don't Why don't I set this one up, Ben, because your dogs are going a. little nutty. Uh let's go to the tarmac. Uh when Trump was in South Carolina and. uh Donald Trump lashed out at this. reporter. I mean, just a really. grotesque thing to to see him do. And. and we've seen this kind of behavior, right? And I and I think it does. honestly connect to his mental state a. little bit, his mental decline, deterioration, these outbursts and. outbursts that like questions that. aren't even like hard questions. And so.

he was asked why like why you no longer. going to Kansas? You know, as are you. kind of sick of traveling at this point? You've been going to a lot of places. Why aren't you going? I think Donald. Trump at this point has canled every. remaining rally he was set to go to. If. you remember in the last episode, we. were telling you that Trump was set to. go to all these red states, which is. very odd, in the last stretch of uh of. the election, and he's canceled all of. them at this point, I believe, except. Daytona. And so the reporter was like, "Why'd you cancel Kansas?" Like, that's, you know, that's a weird one. Look and.

listen to how Donald Trump reacts to. this Reuters reporter. >> Not going to Kansas has nothing to do. with you being sick of traveling. >> Oh, you're sick to ask that question. >> You are sick. Who you with? >> I'm with Reuters, sir. >> You are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible, by the way. >> Make sure you're doing well. >> Look at this guy. He's way out of shape. Look at how badly. He comes to me. Sir, you're not going to go to Kansas. I'm. not going to Kansas cuz he's doing very. well. I'm going to do a teller rally. tomorrow. I'm doing Florida. He said, "What's the reason?" After doing what?

28. He says, "What's the reason for. this, sir? That you're not going to. Kansas?" You know what the reason is? I. don't feel I have to go to Kansas. I'm. going to Florida tomorrow and I'll do if. something else comes up. But he said, "You're not going to cancer, sir. Are. you feeling well? You've been following. me for two weeks. I feel perfect. You. are disgusting. Put yourself in shape. You look like hell." Thank you. >> I mean, first off, Donald Trump looks. disgusting. First off, Trump looks like.

hell. Second off, the way Trump like. also narrated the question, the guy. said, "Why aren't you going to Kansas, sir?" Like it like that was the question. like like you know is it because you're. it wasn't like a crazy question. The. question wasn't like. >> why don't you go to Kansas. >> It the question wasn't like you know. you're barely completing your sentences. Donald and you look horrific and your. hands and your flesh is rotting. Like it. wasn't like it was it was it was a. Reuters question that was right down the. middle and then Trump was like and did. you hear what he said? And he like. dictated the 10-second question for like.

a minute and a half. >> and then he made it to be like and he. was like sir sir sir like sir. So we. heard we can't understate here just it's. Donald Trump looks disgusting in that. clip. I mean talk about uh. >> Donald Trump is sweating. He is. profusely sweating. He and I keep going. back to this. His tanner is like he's. he's doing a form of blackface. Like. it's it's disgusting and despicable. And. I think more people just need to be like. hey do we all see this right now? And.

the reason why, by the way, Ben, Donald. Trump is is regurgitating the question. is because it's the only way he. understands how to respond to questions. at this point. He has to remind himself. in the moment. Like, what what was just. asked? Oh, Kansas. Okay, I got to tell. him, let me bate the guy and tell him. how fat he is. And like, how in the. world is that the. >> guy asked why you're not attending a. rally? And you tell him he's sloppy and. fat. I mean, it's the weirdest. It's the. weirdest instinct. Just answer the. freaking question, dude. Just be like, >> or or don't answer. Like, he could. answer it. You could say, "I'm not. answering that question." Next question.

I mean, you you you tell the reporter to. your point, "You you are fat and you are. gross. Put yourself in shape." I mean, again, >> regular Adonis. >> And then another reporter asks Trump, you know, so now you're arguing as part. of your desire to take over the East. PTOAC golf course. That's like what. Trump posts over and over and over. again. He destroyed the mature maples. and oaks. his biggest concern a few days. out from the midterms is renovating the. scul. >> and like lying to the judge and so he.

sends in these lawyers from the DOJ and. like there's no plan judge and then. he'll like post there's a plan and we're. destroying it and then like destroy the. trees and like even the federal judge. like this case started off about golf. okay and about whether the procedures. are being filed uh followed if they want. to renovate it and now it's just become. like everybody's lying here about this. like it's a deranged situation I've. never seen anything like it in the. course and the DOJ the court's history. and the DOJ is arguing you can't trust.

Trump's statements. They're not real. His social media posts don't matter. Don't believe the president when he says. that he's destroying the golf course. So. the federal judge like this is the first. time in my history as a judge that I'm. being told by the DOJ that the words of. the president don't matter and to ignore. it. And then she'll be like, "Well, he. just posted that, so is he going to do. it?" And the DOJ is like, "Well, actually, he may be doing it." And the. judge's like, "But you just came in here. and said he's not doing it." Like, what. are you even doing? The judge originally. in this case was like, "Look, you can. build the golf course. Just follow the.

rules." Congress did a set of rules and. guidelines that if you want to do this. renovation, you just have to check these. boxes. And then Donald Trump's like, "Nope, I'm tearing up all the trees. I'm. not going to do environmental. protection. I'm not gonna I'm just going. to rip it up. Try to stop me." Is what. he's basically doing. So anyway, he. posts all throughout the night about the. golf course, the golf course, the golf. course. And he says it's a national. security threat. He said that people who. work at the White House are being hit by. kid you not. He posted this. People at. the White House keep getting hit by golf.

balls whenever they show up there and. they are being severely and seriously. injured by the driving range and getting. hit by all of these golf balls. It's. actually a post that Trump made. So a. reporter asked him, "Who are who is. getting hit by golf balls? Like that's. your justification as national security. to shut down the golf course that people. are getting hit with golf balls. Who are. these people? And listen to what he says. here. Play this clip. >> He's doing he's doing very well. >> And who was hit at the golf course? >> Who was what? >> Who was hit at the golf course?

>> Oh, many people. You mean uh are you. talking about the one over here? >> Yeah. Many people. It's very dangerous. because the holes are too close. It's a. very obsolete course and we're doing. very well. We're going to have something. great for the country. Mr. President, >> we'll have top tournaments here. >> Listen, there is an affordability crisis. in this country and Donald Trump's. number one concern is that there are. apparently many people getting hit with. golf balls at this golf course. Are. like, are we all collectively watching.

this insanity together, Benji? Bro, >> it's like a funny It's a funny visual. though to picture a bunch of Trump uh. officials walking on the golf course and. just getting hit in the head with golf. balls like Happy Gilmore. I I I just. need to understand like how. >> the guy who keeps getting hit in the. house. >> I I Golf was never my sport. That's not. what I do. I I've been out on a golf. course a couple of times. It's not like. every second someone's getting hit with. a golf ball. This makes it sound like. it's the most dangerous sport on earth. Yeah. Well, then he was asked earlier in. the day about Lieutenant General Brett.

Sylvia, but the person who asked the. question just said L, you know, what. about General Sylvia? What happened to. General Sylvia? So Trump hold heard the. name Sylvia and thought that they were. talking about a woman. Now Lieutenant. General Brett Sylvia, I talked about him. at the outset of the show. He's a. three-star lieutenant general. He held. the position of J5. That means joint. staff and the J5 position is a director.

for strategy, plans, and policy. So his. role is basically the number two to the. chairman of the joint chiefs and. Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia is. responsible for basically all of the. kind of planning on logistically. how you would map out a future war. And. he replaced somebody at this position. called J5 who was forced out by Hegsith. and basically made to resign. and.

Hegsith basically concocted a pretext to. get rid of the previous guy at this. position. Now, Lieutenant General Brett. Sylvia, you look at his background right. there and we put it up. He was a. graduate of West Point in 1994. He led. the 101st Airborne Second Brigade Combat. Team during Operation Inherent Resolve. in Iraq. So, he was the main commander. on the ground in Iraq for the 101st. Screaming Eagles. Then he was the. commander of the 101st Airborne.

Division, the Screaming Eagles. The. commanding general of the 101st. Like. for those who know about Army history, the Screaming Eagles, the 101st, has one. of the most storied, incredible. histories. And he was that guy who ran. the 101st. You look at this resume and. it's like the most impressive resume out. there. by the way, significantly more. impressive than the chairman of the. joint chiefs who had to get a waiver to. get his position. Whereas the previous. guy, CQ Brown, was a four-star general.

who was fired by Hegsith because he was. black. And then they brought in Dan. Raisin Kane because they liked the name. Raisin. Um, Raisin Kane. And then. Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia was. fired kind of out of nowhere. It seemed. like last night. And then at around. midnight, the Trump regime leaked to O. that they were going to try to. criminally prosecute Lieutenant General. Brett Sylvia. They said he was leaking. information about the war in Iran and. Ukraine and that they hooked him up to a.

polygraph and he failed their polygraph. And so they say that he's basically the. worst of the worst and he said he's. getting rid of him. They famed the guy. also. And one of the biggest tells is um. the actual chairman of the joint chiefs. and the joint staff, they issued a. statement praising Lieutenant General. Brett Sylvia. They said very nice things. about him after they learned that he was. fired. And then the defense def the. defense department defamed him. And so.

that's the guy, by the way, one of the. most critical positions if you're going. to do escalation of a war. you need that. guy to advise the chairman of the Joint. Chiefs who can then advise Donald Trump. about what's going on. So, if you read. between the lines of probably what is. happening as we're learning that this. catastrophic escalation is about to take. place and if you're reading some of the. articles that are warning that the. United States does not have munitions. and we're out of weapons, my gut is that. somebody like Lieutenant General Brett.

Sylvia, who is a actual patriot, is. trying to get out the message or he's. being accused of trying to get out the. message that the US is out of munitions. and escalation would be catastrophic. So. that they purge themselves of a guy. who's giving honest candid advice about. the risks of going into war right before. they're about to escalate. That's what I. believe is happening that he was. objecting behind. Just read between the. lines of what's happening the statement.

that came out from the joint staff and. the chairman of the joint chiefs versus. what Hexith is saying about being a. leaker. And we have all of these stories. coming out now about all these top. officials who have been warning uh about. any escalation would be catastrophic. Now Hegsith and Cooper and Trump, they. want to escalate this thing and they're. also being led by Netanyahu. Netanyahu. has been calling for regime change. Anything short of regime change, you. know, Netanyahu is saying, you know, is.

is, you know, nothing short of regime. change can happen. And when we talked. about what regime change means, I think. this whole catastrophic war should never. have happened in the first place. But. regime change would mean we'd have to. commit like hundreds of thousands of. people on the ground. We'd probably have. 30,000 deaths every month, which by the. way is why they're now doing mass grave. practices because that's what would. happen. you would need mass graves for. what would happen if you if you try to.

take over any of these islands by Iran. or if you try to take over the coast. Iran's ready. They've got their. ballistics. They've got their cruise. missiles. They've got their um drones. ready to go. Um and they're not. destroyed. I mean, look, they in the. past 24 hours, they've hit three. tankers. They knocked out from the sky. another MQ1. Do we have Brett the the. you know Trump's like they don't have. radar. They don't have any radar. They. keep striking these drone these these.

planes these MQ1s the MQ9s. Show the. drone show the radar that Iran just. released when they struck an MQ1 today. I think we've got it. Let's play it. you know, similar to like a Sententcom. video that you know, they would put on. that channel is what it looks like for. the audio listeners. >> We we didn't add that music to be clear. >> Yeah, I know the music. Um, okay. Let me.

show you with that as background. What. did Donald Trump say about Lieutenant. General Brett Sylvia when he was asked. about it? Let's play it. >> Said Lieutenant General Sylvia leaked. classified information at the Pentagon. >> She's got problems. She's going to have. big problems. She did. We're very much. looking for leakers and uh she's going. to have big problems, long-term. problems. >> Has no clue who he's talking about. >> He has no clue what he's talking about. I honestly and I think that's actually. indicative of a lot of the ways that. Trump handles questions and a lot of his.

answers to things is he he doesn't care. if he's actually knowledgeable about the. subject or not. He just says things. He. he just says whatever comes to mind, he. says. And you know, we've seen a pattern. here with Pete Hegsth and the way that. he has been purging generals from the. military and this falls into that. pattern. And we've also seen in the past. that he hasn't always been communicative. to Donald Trump about his actions before. he does it. And that Trump is often. caught off guard by these actions. And. so I think it's, you know, very possible.

that Hexath just kind of did this on his. own. Um, you know, I think if you looked. at the actions that Hexath has taken. with our military, it's and and Trump at. large, it's hard to say, you know, what. a enemy of the United States would do. any differently um than tear apart our. entire military infrastructure, destroy. our country. I mean, this is like a. Vladimir Putin's wet dream. He cannot. believe how lucky that he got to have. these fools in the White House. And of. course, it wasn't all luck. he helped.

push Donald Trump here and and and and. made it, you know, possible. Um, but. it's really really really the stuff. we're witnessing. And they always make. these accusations and, you know, we'll. we'll see what, you know, it's actually. the truth, I guess, at some point, you. know, but we've seen Hexath now do this. multiple times and say, you know, they. we're leakers. They're leaking they're. leaking information and they're they're. liars and and you know, liars get hanged. and treason and blah blah blah blah. blah. But then he never produces a shred.

of evidence to show the American people, here's what happened. This is a serious. issue and we have to take care of it. Never happened. And all the people that. he's accused of leaking, he's never done. that. And in one case, I'm pretty sure. there was a guy who Seth purged who he. went after just like that and said how. this guy's a leaker and he shouldn't be. anywhere near the military or the. government. And then Trump ended up. reassigning him to another role inside. the government. So if he was really this. dangerous leaker, would you reassign him. to a different position in the.

administration? Just the whole thing is. just is just completely. >> I did this chart of the three star, four. stars that have been fired and pushed. out effectively all fired by EXO. And if. you look at this list of people, these. are not just the most qualified people. like if you went through like like just. think about, you know, I don't know if. it was the NBA, right? and you got rid. of like all of your starting lineup and. then all of your, you know, your bench. players and then you basically brought.

people in from the Jordy, what's it. called? The G- League. Um, you brought people in from the G-League. and then you got rid of them and then. you brought people in from, you know, the group that filters to the G-League, from the this, the that, you know, it's. like these are like we're showing for. our audio listeners all of it's a list. of all of the three star and fourstar. generals. And these people were also. beloved figures in the military. And so. it's not just losing their experience, it's also crushing to the morale. When.

you fire a guy like they just did with. Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia and then. the commanderin-chief thinks that Sylvia. is a woman because it's the name Sylvia. When you get rid of CQ Brown Jr., when. you get rid of General Donnu, when you. get rid of um when you get rid of uh you. know, and pull up the list again one. more time just so I could see the person. who I'm thinking of. When you get rid of. Randy George, you know these are like. you know it's like getting rid of like. LeBron James at his prime. Like it's. like getting rid of Michael Jordan at.

his prime and and doing it in a way that. then just spits on him and like defames. him then doing it if you look at this. like every month two like two times a. month you do it to somebody who's like a. top person you know and as Donald. Trump's out there you know doing all. these deals with Putin or trying to that. isn't making a single difference on the. price of diesel what's actually. happening in Moscow right now is you had. Iran was there for the gas export. uh conference talking about and you know.

expanding its exports. Iran has opened. up freight lanes and more train lanes to. China. It's using more highways to get. into Russia. They're getting out stuff. They're maybe not using the same. straight of Hormuz route. Although. they're doing shipto- ship transfers, they're getting out their stuff. Not. maybe to the same degree as before, but. they are. and they're being viewed as. like an honorary guest at these like. various conferences while Donald Trump's. a Putin bootlicker. Putin is rearranging.

the multilateral order before our eyes. So is Xi Jinping. It's taking place in. real time and it's why, you know, we. we'll leave it here because we're going. to do a lot more breaking news items and. maybe we leave by just showing that that. the latest polling data so people see. where we're at before we go. But it's. what we talk about in WTF America all. the time. you know that we wanted to. release this book in this election cycle. because we do want to say this election. is existential and important like it's. critical but we also need to think about.

generational change so we can get beyond. the gamification of politics and we can. focus on how do we create an. international network that supports. truth and democracy and empathy and love. to fight back against the authoritarian. globalist network that exists from the. Trumps to the Bolsinaros and the Putins. and the Javier Malays and the. Netanyahus, you know, there who who are. all kind of working together and. coordinating together. So anyway, let me. play this clip of the poll so we all see.

where the data is right now. So we keep. you updated there and then Brett, I'll. give you and Jordy the final word. The. breaking news, seeing blue, brand new. CNN polls and races that could decide. who controls the Senate with results. Democrats will like across the board. In. Texas, Democrat James Talerico leaves. Republican Ken Paxton by six points. This would be a major flip. No Democrat. has won a statewide race in Texas in. three decades. In Michigan, Democrat. Abdul Alsed leads Republican Mike Rogers.

by seven points. This is a significant. shift. Back around Labor Day, there was. no clear leader here. For Democrats, holding on to Michigan is essential in. their Senate math. In deep red Kansas, Democrat Adam Hamilton is at 49% to 45%. for Republican incumbent Roger Marshall. This is within the margin of error, but. still a blaring warning sign for. Republicans in a state that should be. safe territory and not where they want. to be spending time, effort, and money.

And in Maine, Democrat Troy Jackson is. at 49%. The incumbent Republican Susan. Collins is at 45%. This too is within. the margin of error. Collins has been. able to hang on in the past when there. have been years favorable to Democrats. Can she do it one more time? But again, across the boards in these numbers that. we've seen from these four states, Democrats will see a path to the. majority. There you have it. There you have it.

I'm going to do a lot more I'm going to. do a lot more reporting also on Ukraine. A lot of ballistic missile strikes this. evening as we're live. I want to get the. full picture of that. Um, but I do I do. a report on Ukraine pretty much every. morning. Um, you know, which I think is. very important right now. And, uh, I'll. just say to the audience, I love you. I'm grateful for you. You know, I think. part of the looseness also is I'm also. not getting a great deal of sleep right. now. And so, and so there's a little bit of. like, you know, but this is it. You.

know, we're. >> great. >> Yeah. Thanks. >> And I'll say this uh before we go. Um, you're doing great, Ben. Uh, even though. it's your first you did on your first. podcast. >> Your first your first show. For your. first show, this is really good. >> I hope I met expectations. >> Exceed us. >> We're just we're just we're just getting. around. >> real quick. No, no, no. I'm in the. middle of talking. What do you mean real. quick? Um, quiet, Piggy. Uh, so listen, we we we got uh, you know, you're going. to see polls, right? There are a lot of. polls. The polls look good. The data. looks good. The early voting data looks. good. But your job is to, you know,

understand the data is good and and you. should be allowed to feel good, but you. can't let any polls in any direction. affect you. You should basically ignore. them in terms in practical matters. Go. to the polls, make sure that you vote. That's the only poll that matters at the. end of the day. So encourage your. friends and family to vote. So. important. We don't get many. opportunities to do this. You know, every couple years we get this. opportunity. So please take advantage of. it. Vote. vote early if you could vote. early. Incredibly important. And they're.

going to throw a lot of stuff at you. There's going to be lawsuits in Alaska. They're doing stuff in California, right, to try to do mess with the voter. roles in California. They're going to. try every trick up their sleeve. There. are a lot of smart people in the. prodemocracy community, attorneys, uh, election lawyers, people like that who. are fighting back. And so my philosophy. in life is always like, you got to do. the things that you could control. We. can't control what the Trump regime is. going to do. we control our actions, our. responsibilities to get to the polls and. vote and do our civic duty. And then. Trump's going to do whatever the hell he.

does. And then we're going to have the. experts who are going to make sure that. everything is safe and everything is. okay. More people are voting right now. than ever and have done so safely and uh. and the numbers are are great. I just. love seeing that civic participation uh. in our system. And so make sure you do. that. Get the book WTF America. Um check. out the streaming channel live Mid is. touch streaming channel 247. Throw it. on. just have it in the background all. day.

What I'm going to say now like makes no. sense. I'm still going to say it. I I. missed. >> I see what you got. A lot of people are. waiting for this. >> I miss seeing Harry Anton up there when. he when we were going through like the. when they were going through the. different If we're going to play a CNN.
