LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to MAJOR BREAKING NEWS - 11/2/26

Welcome to the Midas Touch podcast. midterm election edition. We are less. than 24 hours from this live recording. of the midterm election day of voting. If you're listening to this on Tuesday, go and vote. Today would be the. elections. If you're listening to this. on Tuesday, a huge day indeed. Now, leading to election day, Donald Trump. gave his final speeches in Kansas and. Iowa. Each speech more deranged than the. next. He was making weird noises like uh.

uh uh he said that he would have won the. Vietnam War in a week by blowing up the. US allies in Ho Chi Min City. He kept on. talking about the Qatari jet and how big. it is. Of course, he continued to. profess his love of John Eusted's ass. and how he's attracted to men or. whatever the hell he was saying. And so. we'll cover what was going on there. Then today, Donald Trump gave a speech. in front of the reflecting pool to a. group of about 20 people who all work. for the National Park Service. It was.

frankly a pretty sad and pathetic thing. to watch. Not for Donald Trump. He. deserves all the karma he's about to get. on election day. But just for the. country to see that this is the. president of the United States standing. in front of the reflecting pool talking. about granite and the smell of algae and. how he's building a prominade and what. the what it's going to look like and how. he loves building and designing things. in Washington DC. Again, he looks. sickly. You could hear like three people.

clapping. really really humiliating. frankly for our nation. Also, the Trump. regime continued to get humiliated in. court. They've been losing in all of. their federal cases where they've tried. to attack the election integrity of. various states. They've been losing in. states like Texas. They've lost in. California. They've lost in Washington. DC. literally all of the cases that. they've brought or have been involved in.

regarding the election they have lost. And by the way, over the weekend, Donald. Trump lost his defamation case where he. sued the Wall Street Journal for. billions of dollars for saying they. defamed him by publishing about his. letter to Jeffrey Epstein for Epstein's. 50th birthday. You know that really. creepy letter where Donald Trump did. like a doodle of a naked girl and he. talked about enigmas never age and. talking about keeping their secrets.

together. Uh yeah, Donald Trump sued the. Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street. Journal filed a motion to dismiss. They. prevailed and the federal judge was. like, "I'm not really sure why you were. pointing to another Wall Street Journal. article which included other signatures. by Donald Trump because it kind of looks. identical to the signature that you're. claiming isn't yours." where I guess. your point is is that somebody. timeraveled back to 2003 for Epstein's. 50th birthday and planted it there.

knowing that more than 23 or 22 years. later it would surface from the Epstein. estate and then it would have you in it. and then that's somehow defaming you. Like what are you even talking about. here? Again, it just shows that Donald. Trump is part of the Epstein class. In. my opinion, this is someone who's been. found civily liable for sexual abuse. He. is a sexual predator and a disgusting. piece of trash and we need to call him. out for that. Also, Iran struck. somewhere between two to four tankers.

today in these straight of whoo. We're. trying to keep up with all the tankers. that are struck. One of the reasons that. I say two to four is that the main. reporting group UK MTO, they're now very. late in reporting. So, they've done two. reports, but I've been tracing two other. strikes in the straight of Hormuz. So, I. believe the number is four. They've. reported too. They've admitted that. they're not reporting the majority of. times tankers get hit. So, we'll focus. on what's going on there. Also, Iran.

says that they destroyed one US MQ9. Reaper and two US MQM1. 170 reconnaissance drones that were in. and around these straightforward moves. Although, Donald Trump claims that he's. very close to a deal with Iran. They're. very, very close and that things are. about to get much better. And when Trump. finished that deranged speech he gave in. the reflecting pull a reporter asked. him, "So are you going to go to go to. war with Iran after the midterms and he. said,"No, no, no." And on that and on.

other just kind of market manipulation. that he does, the price of oil dropped. today and it's like it's just such a. freaking scam. And I I mean, look, we. all want it to go down, but it'll go. back up. It's just more of the same. And. I think it just reinforces the. unpredictability, the madness, the. dangerousness, the psychotic nature of. this failed regime. Brett and Jordy, it's good to see you on this midterm. election edition of the show. Reminder,

if you're listening to this on Tuesday. or watching on Tuesday, vote. And if. you're watching this live or listening. to it after the live on Monday, make a. plan to vote. >> That's the biggest message I want to get. across right at the top of the show. Make sure you're voting. And if you're. online right now listening to the Midas. Touch podcast, thanks for listening and. thanks for voting. And maybe share the. show with a friend who is online with. you. And if you're not and you've not. returned your ballot yet or gone to the. polls, please go now. Do not take. anything for granted. You're going to. see a lot of polls and the numbers do.

look really good. We're going to go. through that. But we cannot count on. polls. The only poll that matters is you. actually going to the polls. Brothers. mighty. I don't think the Democrats. though prepared for this October. surprise. what Donald Trump was going to. pull out in the final moments of the. elections. Just a day before the midterm. elections, Donald Trump highlights the. reflecting pool. Nobody could have seen. the reflecting pool coming. And this is. the message that Donald Trump wants to. leave with the American people. His.

failed reflecting pool project, which. was supposed to be completed in July and. then was a disaster and had cracked. sealant and turned bright green. and. then he tried to charge a former. Olympian and blamed the former Olympian. for the damage that his own contractors. that this is the image that Donald Trump. wants to leave voters with as we get. into the midterm elections tomorrow. Uh. I have been tracking what these. Republicans have been saying on the. trail, what Donald Trump's been saying. and I've been following of course the.

Democratic campaigns and there is such a. messaging gap between the two of them. Democrats historically have gotten a lot. of crap for their messaging. I think. they've actually been honed in this. cycle. And Republicans, I don't know. what the hell they're even talking. about. I don't know what their message. is. It's John Houston's ass. It's Nicki. Minaj's ass. It's It's reflecting pools. It's more war. I I don't even know what. the heck is going on there. We're going. to get into a whole lot of stuff today. But first, you know, I got to toss it. over to Jordy. Jordy, what's the latest? >> Brothers, mightest mighty. It is so.

wonderful to be here. I am so excited to. get into tonight's show. Do not take. anything for granted. As the brothers. have already said, if you are listening. on Tuesday, make sure you're getting out. and voting. If you are listening and. watching tonight, make sure you get that. ironclad plan out on how you plan to. vote tomorrow on Tuesday on election. day. Benji, where are we starting off. today, big bro? >> That new Magga Mike talking point, Brett. It was a variation of some. classic Magic. He said, "Donald Trump. not only doesn't sleep, but he says, Mike, if you're going to sleep, you're.

being a sissy." That's what Maga Mike. said. And that's one of the closing. messages of Magga Mike in his last day. or two. Great message. Don't be a. is what Magga Mike said. You know, I. didn't talk about I'll just address it. very briefly, but she's absolutely. irrelevant and doesn't deserve any. attention. Goodbye, Haley Stevens. I. mean, the stunt she pulled over the. weekend. So utterly despicable. I've. heard some people say she looks deeply. unwell and what a bizarre relationship. she has with that fiance of her and what.

his involvement is. I'll just say this. Bye-bye. You are now an irrelevant. person. You've destroyed your career. This is what you've done. Nobody cares. about you and we're not going to spend a. single moment more of this show talking. about you nor should anybody talk about. you ever again. You are an irrelevant, irrelevant human being. You just threw. your whole career away with what you. did. It is shameful. It is disgusting.

Good riddance. That's all I want to say. about her. But Dr. Abdul Elsed, I think, has run a campaign on the issues. He. said, "It's not about me. It's not about. someone who ran against me in the. primaries. It's not about my opponent on. the MAGA Republican side. No, it is. about the voters. It is about what. people are experiencing. These aren't. talking points that people are. struggling to get by. It's not a talking. point that healthc care has been ripped. away from people. That diesel and gas.

are at record highs. That people can't. afford their rent, that credit card. delinquencies are at record highs. When. people open up their fridge, they see. empty shelves because groceries are. unaffordable. That we are in neverending. wars right now. that the war in Ukraine. is escalating, that Trump has no plan to. get out of Iran, and things get worse. there, that he's covering up a freaking. child sex trafficking ring with the. Epstein files. These aren't talking.

points. This is the reality that people. live in. And Trump wanting to bend. reality and create these madeup worlds, which by the way, we talk about in WTF. America, bend reality. That's done. enough. focus on what's actually. happening here. You know, the Trump. regime's like, "Oh, oh, they're going to. transgender your child." That's one of. the things that they say when he's not. talking about Qatari jets or men's asses. or how rich he is or whatever, they're.

going to he goes, "They they they. transgender a kid. They take him, they. steal him, and they chop off his penis.". Like, and it's like, "What are you. talking about?" Like, what weird people. are you to even say like just like. demented things? So they create their. fake worlds where they apparently are. the ones that save penises from being. chopped off or whatever the hell they. even want to talk about. But that's who. they are. These are deranged, demented. people who are covering up the child sex. trafficking rings. And as we also talk. about WTF America, this is a globalist.

authoritarian network that work on these. messages together to destroy elections. They're not playing by the rules. They're not doing good faith. They want. to destroy elections. They are the. arsonists that want to burn down systems. and replace it with nothing so that they. come in and they go, I alone can fix it. It's their playbook. Watch for it. Realize it. Build systems with us. Build. systems to fight it. That's what we're. focused on here at the Midas Touch.

Network. So over the weekend, Donald. Trump threw an Gatsby Epstein weirdo. looking party at Mara Lago where he had. like half naked men dressed as kittens. And then he had freaking zebras running. around and the whole thing was grotesque. like live zebras, half naked men. The. whole thing was so strange. And then he. was there and he was like, "You see, you. see how rich my This is one of his. closing messages. These are rich guys.

These Wall Street guys, they're the. richest that they are. And they took all. of their time to dress up. They wanted. to dress up with me. And that shows you. how great Mara Lago Club is here. Watch. what he says. Let's play this club. >> All my rich members, they spent all day. getting ready. And look at these guys. These are the big quiet for a second. These are the biggest guys on Wall. Street. And they spent all day long. getting ready. I only had 10 minutes. I. just put on a red dot. You expect to go.

back to. >> they spent all this time getting ready. Then he spoke in Kansas and Iowa where. right now Democrats are surging ahead of. the MAGA Republicans there or polls have. those races neck and neck and then. Donald Trump would go in these speeches. and just start making noises and go ah. here let's play this clip. Oh, baby. Oh, mom. Oh. And then he said that he would have won.

the war in Vietnam in a week by bombing. South Vietnam, our allies in Ho Chi Min. City. We would have won the war. He. said, "Well, I guess if you would have. bombed your allies, then I guess that's. your plan to victory would be to bomb. the allies." I mean, does he even know? First off, he's a fivetime draft dodger. saying that he got bone spurs. Also. thinking about all of the courageous. Vietnam vets that are out there, by the. way, including federal judge Carter who.

has also ruled against Donald Trump in. the central district of California in. election cases there. While Donald Trump. said, "I would have solved it by blowing. up Ho Chi Min City. That's what I would. have done." Now, if he meant that he. would have bombed Hanoi, if he would. have bombed northern Vietnam, what that. would have triggered is Russia and. China's involvement and would have. created World War II, which is why that. wasn't really directly bombed. But, you. know, for Donald Trump, who's basically. put the world right now either in World.

War II or on the brink of World War II, just listen to what he says. Let's play. this clip. >> Ty, I don't know what we do with this. Stupid, stupid presidents. But Afghan, we could have won that. I could have won. that war in three weeks. I could have. won the Vietnam War in a week. You know, they dropped whatever the hell that red. crap is that they dropped it. Kept. dropping it in the forest. >> Agent Orange, even though it's red,

agent orange. They drop it in the forest. for years and years and years instead of. going after Ho Chi Min City and the. different places. I would have won that. war in one week. I would have won the. just saying words. I mean, you would. have won the Vietnam War, a war that you. did not fight in because you dodged the. draft and now you don't even know the. difference between the cities over. there. to say again. It's like anything. like that in normal times would be. absolutely disqualifying or the noises.

or the sounds. And as I've said, this. nation has been suffering from battered. nation syndrome. It's a term that I. heard Dr. Bandy Lee talk about. And when. you normalize the behavior of a. psychotic authoritarian, the nation. becomes this traumatized thing where you. just well that's just him. That's just. him. No, no, no. We need to fortify our. minds and build systems to purge that. cancer to purge this scourge out. And.

this is going to happen in the election. But we have we can't be okay with that. behavior at all. And when people are. like, "Oh, that's being hyperbolic. That's being hyperbolic." That's like. somebody criticizing the type of. medicine that's needed to get rid of the. illness. Oh, why would you take the. medicine? Just just get better yourself. You have to use the right words and you. have to stand up to it clearly with. moral clarity in the moment and say, "No, that's crazy. This is a crazy.

person. What are we talking about here?". Like today, his closing message is him. in front of the reflecting pool. Okay? And he's talking about his favorite. types of granite and that the granite is. actually alive and it's thousands of. years old. This is what he says about. granite today in his closing message. before the midterms. Let's play it. This. is granite, so it's pretty strong stuff. And we fixed the granite. We reccocked. it. All of this has been reccocked. And. if you go around the pool, you'll see. it's in very good shape, very pristine.

shape. We didn't have to replace it cuz. the granite stone is so. >> Then he had Don Jr. as one of his main. proxies today in Ohio calling Dr. Amy. Actton a drunk when he looked deeply. ill. Like, Don Jr., I read your. comments. You can form your own opinions. of what he's experiencing in this. moment, but he looked deeply, deeply. unwell. And I'll let you form your own. opinions, but let's take a look at what. he said. Let's play it. I can watch.

some of these Democrats on TV. I mean, watching Amy, it's like she got back. every speech. It's like she got back. from a really long happy hour with. Camala Harris. I don't know that that's a person I want. making decisions that our children and. our children after them are going to be. dependent on. Do you? >> Don Jr. talked about how, you know, if. you leave it to the Democrats, they want. to make Ohio into a state. Can you.

believe that? They're going to actually. turn Ohio into a state. How dangerous. would that be? Ohio into a state. Here, listen to what he had to say. Let's play. it. They want to pack the Supreme Court. They want to make Ohio a state, make DC. a state, HAVE PERMANENT ONE PARTY RULE. ALL ALL APPARENTLY, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT. WORKS, BUT you know, they can do these. things and get AWAY WITH IT. ALL IN THE.

NAME OF SOMEHOW PRESERVING DEMOCRACY. The big MAGAR Republican alpha. influencer Scott Presler has been sent. out on the trail for an emergency. lastminute push right here. This is the. ultra MAGA guy. Here's their kind of. MAGA bro kind of guy. They put him out. there to try to get the youth vote. So, he's in Pennsylvania right now trying to. connect with all of the young college. men. Here's what he's got to say. Let's. play. >> Now, I have a message to the American.

people. I realize that we haven't. accomplished everything within two. years. That's why we're out here asking. for another two. Make President Trump a. four-year president. Make sure that the. job that we gave him in 2024, he can. accomplish and use all four. That's. going to be tough to compete with right. there. Then Maggami Johnson during one. of the final rallies, he said, "Donald. Trump said that I'm a or you're a. sis. Don't be a or something. And.

when you you should uh don't he doesn't. sleep. He doesn't sleep. That's uh. that's my the closing message is this. man doesn't sleep. We see him sleep all. the time. Here's what Mac and Mike says. And I I work almost as hard as this guy. I try to keep up with him. He doesn't. sleep at all. You understand that? The. man calls me at like 1:00 in the morning. and also at 5:00 a.m. Mike, are you. sleeping? No, sir. Of course. Sleep is. for sissies. We don't. Of course not. What's on your. >> Let's bring in Brett and Jordy after all. of that. That's uh I think it's a good.

like here's the thing though, right? Like what I just did there, that's what. news should do. And I'm not trying to, you know, be like, "Okay, great." It's. just those like that's craziness. Like. this is some real crazy stuff that we're. observing. That's why the title of the. book is called WTF cuz what what what. the f is that Brett and Jordy? Just like. when you when you view everything. through the horse race lens, you try to. find balance where there isn't balance. And one of the issues of the times that.

we currently live in is that things are. so far off the rails and and these MAGAs. have gotten so extreme. the things. they're talking about are so absurd that. using the kind of typical formulas that. you kind of learn in journalism school. and stuff by its nature kind of uh. sanewashes what's actually going on. because you're designed to say while. this person was doing this this person. was doing what was their framing on. talking about affordability and you're. like what are you talking about he was. talking about John Houston's ass the. whole time they may have build it as a.

rally for that that's not what they. actually talked about and that's one of. the issues with covering uh you this. stuff. And that wasn't like a, you know, select few clips that we pulled from. these various Republican events. That. that was the nature of these events. And. when you look at the difference right. now, like I said, Democrats have. historically gotten a lot of crap for. their messaging. But I don't know what. the hell these Republicans are doing. If. if Democrats are better messaging them, what the hell is that? But I got to say, you look at these events and you see the. Republican party, they just have a very. destructive vision. They have a first.

off a very dystopian vision of the. United States of America. and they have. this uh vision for the future that isn't. about how can I help you, how can I make. prices come down, how could I uh help. you get uh healthcare. It's you don't. hear anything like that at all. It's all. fear-mongering. I mean, I I I I was. going to say I encourage you to watch, but I really don't. But if you watch any. of these rallies, it's just. fear-mongering. Fear they're going to do. this to your kids. They're going to do. this to your family. They're gonna steal.

from you. They're g and and it's all. projection also, but it's just one. threat after the next. These horrible. things are going to happen to you unless. you vote for me. When you look at the. rallies that the Democrats are doing. right now, I think you're seeing. actually a huge shift in messaging. Probably a lot inspired quite frankly by. New York City Mayor Azoran Mdani who. deserves a lot of credit for for the. shift and the focus we're seeing in a. lot of people. But you see Dr. Abdul El. Say out there and what's he saying over. and over again? He's saying money out of.

politics, money in your pocket, pass. Medicare for all. I mean, those are the. things that he's focused on. You know, how do I make your life better? When you. see James Terico in Texas, what are the. things that he's speaking about? He's. speaking about how do I make your life. better? How can we all live together in. harmony? How could I bring down your. prices? How could I make life easier for. you and your family? And that difference. to me is just absolutely striking. It's. this election really truly is almost. like a roar shack test of sorts or I. don't even know if that's the right way.

to put it. I'm just I'll just say it's a. like a science experiment. What if we. designed the worst messaging that we. could ever come up with in a lab? What. if we have the president speak about. John Houston's ass and Nicki Minaj's. ass? Let's have him hold the final rally. in front of the reflecting pool that he. screwed up miserably. Let's do. everything as humanly bad as possible. and see what happened. Like I feel like. we're living in a social experiment. sometimes, right? >> It's like, you know, they came up with. this messaging playing some weird MAGA.

mad libs where they're like, "Okay." And. the president will talk about Houston's. ass and then he'll give his closing. message in front of the reflecting pool. It It's utterly bizarre what we're. witnessing every single day. I I want to. recap a couple of things here and I. think it goes to speak about, you know, a lot of what Donald Trump and his. psyche re really is. He truly believes. we are living in this golden age that he. has created. Why? Because he has. surrounded himself by a bunch of yes. people. And he has intentionally lived. his life by surrounding himself now by a.

bunch of yes people. Whether it's his. cabinet who only tell him how great he's. doing. Oh, great job, sir. Oh, amazing. Oh, you're striking fear in everyone, sir. Oh, incredible work, sir. Or when. he goes to Mara Lago and gets to hang. out with the 0001%. the best the most richest bankers in the. world, right? They all they all tell. Donald Trump, "What a great job you're. doing for us, sir. You're doing great.". Donald Trump truly believes that we are. living through a golden age. He cannot. acknowledge the affordability crisis. that is hitting this nation hard. He.

cannot acknowledge the the senseless war. that he has gotten us into that. continues to drive our gas prices up and. get our troops killed. When he's at that. Halloween party, like I just want y'all. to remember like there is a war actively. happening. And the president of the. United States who got us into that war. in order to escape from the Epstein. files in order to in order to try and. run away from that he started this war. is now spending his time at Halloween. parties because he is he he wants to. hang out with his people. He wants to be. glazed. He wants to hang out with the. 0.001% and he doesn't want to work for.

you the American people. So as he's. giving his closing message, his closing. message is look at how great my life is. Look at how great everyone here and. their lives are at my beach club in. Florida. What? Why is he even there in. the first place? He's the president of. the United States and he's spending his. free weekends hanging out at a beach. club while there's a war going on while. our troops are dying. It is bananas. Vietnam. I want to go I want to go to.

that really quickly. So, what is he. saying when he's going to Vietnam? He. has to make up fictitious scenarios now. of how he would have handled situations. because we have data, concrete data of. how he actually handled situations when. he was in charge of a war that he got us. in. The Iran war that's still happening. 10 months later, 12 months going on a. year. I It is crazy to me that anyone. lets him slide on this messaging that I. would have ended the Vietnam War in a. week. Dude, you dodged the war five. times because you said you had bone. spurs. You didn't fight in the war. You.

were too cowardly to do that while. Americans risk their lives and die. fighting on behalf of this country. And. you have the audacity to bismerch their. legacies to say that you would have. ended the war in a week, man. Like, go f. yourself. You are just the scummiest of. scum ever, man. Like, he says it with no. shame. And it is just so frustrating. Every time he degrades the troops. This. is not a blue or red issue to me. This. is someone who loves the country and. wants to understand why the president of. the United States thinks he knows better.

than our commanders, our military men. and women, who thinks he has the. smartest strategies around. And the only. thing that I always come back to is he. has so insulated his entire life of. surrounding himself by yes people that. don't want to tell him no, that only. want to tell him how smart he is. So he. truly thinks we are there as a country. and that has opened up this lane for the. Democrats to take back the messaging. here in a very efficient and smart way. and just realize the situation that. we're all living through. There is an. affordability crisis in this country.

There is a war that is waging on that we. do not need to be in. There is a health. care crisis. There is a housing crisis. and we collectively as leaders need to. do better to address these issues. And. then lastly the reflecting pool. The. closing message. He's talking about how. he sealed the reflecting pool with. granite and now it's super strong. I don't know how no one has the courage. in Donald Trump's inner circle to be. like maybe close with some sort of. unifier of you know there's a positive.

outlook if you elect you know. Republicans and my agenda for for. another two years. There has been. absolutely none of that. And uh you know. I I think it's important that we realize. here that look I I I'm not a Democrat. because I love the color blue, right? I. think the party needs a lot of work in. itself. But this is a party that. actually wants to work on behalf of the. American people where Donald Trump only. wants the country to work for him and. his inner circle.

>> I mean he's the psychotic demented sex. predator lunatic. I mean, you know, I. mean, you know, regardless of who's I. mean, he's he's just a awful, vile piece. of trash human being and he's behaving. like that. I mean, he's a felon. He's. been found civily liable for sexual. assault. He's a bankruptor. He's been a, you know, someone who has destroyed. things his entire life. And that's what. he continues to do, you know, right now. I mean, it's it's obvious. I don't know. I don't know how you look at this and. you go, "Hey, okay, God." I mean, it's.

it it is the most demented behavior. imaginable. Our book is called WTF. America: The Way Out of This Hell and. Back to Democracy. It's currently number. two on the New York Times bestseller. list.

You. could click the set the reminder so you. don't forget right now. Benji, where to. next big bro? Trump regime also. releasing footage from a podcast. interview that Donald Trump did with far. right-wing propagandist from New York. Post Miranda Divine where Donald Trump. says if Democrats take control of the. House or the Senate, then Trump says he. will become Mr. veto where he will veto.

everything that's passed by the House. and the Senate. Let's listen to what he. has to say. Let's play. >> We're not going to let that happen. >> You still be able to do what you do, work with Democrats, even if they do. >> Well, if that happens, I guess um M I'll. become Mr. Veto. I'm not going to let. them run. And then at some point, we'll. probably make deals. That's what's. happened. I mean, this is this. >> Brett, you had a good point I want you. to share. It's what you were telling me. earlier today. And I think Democrats do. two things when they take control of the.

House and potentially even the Senate. Number one, relentless robust. investigations. I mean, every day, every. day, subpoenas fly, and what they're. doing gets communicated to the American. people. We want hearings across all. committees. We want long hearings where. people are grilled as aggressive as can. be. And I'm confident with both who. would be taking over in the House and. the Senate that you would get very.

aggressive uh oversight. And the other. point is the affordability agenda. And. Brett, I want you to share what you were. saying with me earlier today because you. were like, you know what, every day the. Democrats should pass the most popular. legislation, universal prek and. universal health care and uh housing uh. legislation and education legislation. and um you know, ways to fight back. against corporations screwing over. consumers and you know, banning stock.

trading by everybody, including in the. executive branch. branch like just. everything that the American people are. demanding and then if he wants to become. Mr. veto with all of that with this. popular legislation. Just call the bluff. and make sure it's message to the. American people that what was about to. pass and then if he's going to veto the. housing and the infrastructure and the. health care and the education and you. know and all of that and and and.

universal prek, then let him and the. Republicans still own that every day, but communicate to the people exactly. what was passed. This was passed. He. vetoed it. And you know what? Like use. it against him. If he wants to call. himself Mr. Veto, you can be like, "Mr. Veto strikes again. Here's what we would. have delivered to you. But Mr. Veto. strikes again." And you could even. Brett, bring back the by hear about this. one, too. Bring back the bipartisan. uh border immigration bill that Biden.

had previously passed. That would have. provided dignity to um it would have. provided dignity to immigrants. a. pathway to citizenship to people who. were here legally and lawfully and. stronger borders at the same time and. say here it is, we just passed it. Mr. Veto strikes again. And I think you you. raised a great point there, Brett. That. should be the strategy in my view. >> And I think you summed it up perfectly, but like just every every single day. just keep having people uh keep having. the Democrats vote on things that are. extremely wildly popular that move the.

agenda of actually helping people. forward and let Trump take his mantle of. Mr. Veto. Okay, Mr. veto. Let's see you. veto uh affordable care act credits. Let's see you veto healthcare for. children. Let's see you veto universal. prek. Let's see you veto $5,000 checks. I don't even care what. Just keep. throwing things out there, right? Just. keep throwing things out there and let. Donald Trump and the Republicans be the. ones to block it because they're going. to constantly try to make the Democrats. out to be the bad guys, right? It's.

their fault that this is happening, that. that's happening even though Donald. Trump is the president of the United. States. So, you need to fight back. And. it's not only a uh procedural thing that. you do when you're there, but it also is. a messaging thing. You're telling the. American people, look at all the things. that we are trying to get done and look. at who is stopping us. It could could it. be any more clear right now? So, I think. that it would be an incredibly effective. way uh to get that message out to try to. call Donald Trump's bluff, to try to.

make this happen. Um, and I think it. would be a good look quite frankly, you. know, for for Democrats to be fighting. for those issues, the things that people. elected them to be in there for. And of. course, relentless investigation, investigation into all the corruption. And Ben, your midterm election special. the other night, I thought was really. important and powerful with Jim Hemes. and with Jamie Rascin where they spoke. about all this stuff and they spoke. about everything they wanted to. investigate. Um, and it gives me a lot. of hope quite frankly for the way they.

are going to run things and also, you. know, the fact that they've been. wargaming out all of these various. scenarios. Any of the sort of uh ways. that Donald Trump may try to manipulate. the election or Elon Musk may try to do. things or who whomever it is, they have. war gamed all of these plans. And. there's a whole sea of very smart. attorneys out there who are going to be. swatting down uh the Trump regime as. they try to do all of this. Uh just like. with what happened even by the Supreme.

Court today in California, which we get. to in a bit. But uh but let the law. legal process make it. Let let that. happen. You just need to do what you. could do. And what you could do is vote. >> Building on Mr. Veto very quickly, I I I. want to start here. Donald Trump, one of. his final closing message has also been. to just bribe voters seemingly. He he. says, "If the Republicans take the. House, I I I will give you $5,000 is one. of his message." Now, no one believes. him anymore because he's promised Doge.

dividend checks and these checks and and. no one's ever seen a dime of these. failed promises that Donald Trump. continues to uh promise his. constituents, promise the American. people that they're going to see money. I want the Democrats the very first. thing to do. I want them to go ahead and. pass the Donald J. Trump affordability. check relief bill. And I'm no economist. and maybe that name needs a little bit. of workshop, but if they pass a bill. that just says, "Hey, $5,000 to help. Americans in this affordability crisis. that we live in." Donald will even name. it after you. You know what he's going.

to do? He's going to be Mr. Veto because. it's not about helping the American. people. His $5,000 bribe is not about. helping the American people. It's about. again only helping the Republican party. and Donald Trump continuing to just have. unfiltered power. And so if he were to. pass it, at least in uh immediacy, uh. Americans could see $5,000 hit their. pockets and help them with this. affordability crisis that Donald Trump. has, you know, bestowed upon the country. by not acknowledging. If he doesn't, I.

think it sends a very clear message. exactly where Donald Trump is going to. take these next two years, and that's. play this role of Mr. Veto. No matter. what the Democrats want to do, no matter. how good or how lofty the goals are, Donald Trump is going to be nope, vetoing it. Because here's the one thing. about this $5,000 plan. I have not heard. one Republican speak out against Donald. Trump in this outright bribe to to the. American people about if Republicans. take the House, they get this check. So. why don't we just put all the chips, you. know, on the table and and Donald, we. pass the $5,000 to the American Relief.

Plan. Can we do it? >> And let me be clear. It's a it's a. terrible idea. But but but call. >> I genuinely I genuinely don't think it's. a bad idea. >> I think it's an awful idea. >> Let's explain. Explain why. explain why. it's a bad idea because it's a joke. because his outward corruption just so. blatantly. >> No, it's a good idea to call the bluff. The the policy is a horrible idea. >> Again, I again I'm no economist. I'm not. wolfers, right? That's not that's not. the lane I'm playing in. I have no idea. how this impacts the national debt. My. personal No, >> but probably you want Yeah, probably a.

data point you'd want before you. actually say it's a great idea because. it's it's it's a horrific idea. the the. the the the broader issue with it, so. everybody knows is that it could cause. inflation to surge even higher. And so. if you're going to do it, it needs to be. done surgically and it needs to be done. in a way that at least studies, you. know, these issues because I think that. there are a lot of ways to address the. affordability crisis and to address the. health care crisis, you know, in a way.

that isn't just $5,000 for everybody. Because also, think about it, Jordy. Does the five I mean, you have to think. about does the $5,000 then go to like. billionaires and millionaires? Do they. need the $5,000? I mean, how do you. actually target the relief and how do. you do it in a way that makes sense? But. I think it's fair to say more broadly. and globally that there's a lot of. things that government can do to help. people out to not have a tax system that.

screws over everyday working folks while. giving every benefit, every deduction, everything, you know, to the richest 1%. and how do we allow people to have. access to health care and to have. affordable housing? And I think there's. a lot of things that we could do. So the. point though, Jordy, I think that you. make is actually well said and well. taken. There needs to be ways to call. Donald Trump's bluff. And I think that. that is he could be Mr. Veto, you know, for that. I just I just want to turn to.

an area where, you know, I like to think. that I have a level of expertise as. well, which is on the legal side. um and. Donald Trump's lawsuits against uh you. know these various states, whether he. was suing Alaska, whether he was suing. California, you know, these threatening. letters that he's been sending to. various state secretary uh secretary of. states, um and the local officials. threatening them. There's been real, I. think, powerful response from the.

states, even in Alaska, I might add, and. also a lot of nonprofit groups and a lot. of uh legal groups that have been doing. a great job fighting back. Look, I give. the Alaska state government credit now. that it was a Republican state attorney. general's office that did indeed file a. motion to dismiss Donald Trump's efforts. to interfere with the Alaska election. where Donald Trump's like, "Oh, the. people in Alaska don't understand that.

when it says Dan Sullivan, Republican. incumbent, that that's the Republican. incumbent, Dan Sullivan." And when that. there was another Dan J. Sullivan that. doesn't have the name Republican or. incumbent that in the rank choice voting. people don't know what the word. incumbent means and the superior court, the Supreme Court of Alaska had already. ruled that there's no issue with this. That the people of Alaska aren't going. to be confused. The people of Alaska. aren't confused. They don't need people. in Washington DC or California to speak.

from them. But I give the Republican. state attorney general's office credit. for now, right? They fought back and uh. Mary Pelah's team and the Democratic. senatorial campaign committee, they. intervened as well and they filed the. motion to dismiss. So did the state of. Alaska and so did a nonprofit group. And. there the court ultimately ruled against. the Trump regime and said the Trump. regime can't interfere and try to block. the vote or segregate certain votes or. pry into the privacy about why people.

voted. Uh state set the states set the. election laws unless congress otherwise. rules article 1 section 4 clause one of. the constitution says the time place and. manner of holding elections for senators. and representatives shall be prescribed. in each state by the legislature thereof. but the congress may at any time by law. make or alter such regulations except as. the places for choosing senators. Congress has not made any laws that say. otherwise. So it is the states rights.

until Congress passes a law. So Alaska, Donald Trump's attack there rejected in. California where the Trump regime came. up with a list of like their 20,000. voters that they said were nonitizen. voters who were registered but weren't. citizens and would be unlawfully voting. You had a federal judge in the uh. central district of California, Judge. Carter, say, "Look, if you think crimes. are being committed, then prosecute the. crimes." Like you're not going to just.

speculate about lists and then actually. thwart the ability of legitimate voters. to vote based on some list that you. claim exists. So if you think there are. crimes, go after the bad guys, prosecute. them. I'm a federal judge. If you tell. me people are committing crimes, file on. them, and then we could have criminal. cases over here. Then there was a judge. in the Northern District of California. who also issued an injunction against. the Trump regime for their threats to. state and local officials. Then you had. in Washington DC, Judge Booseberg, a.

federal judge there. He issued uh. certain orders against the Trump regime. Okay, if you claim there's 20,000 voters. out there that are unlawful, let's let's. see the list. Show me what this list. looks like. And then the Trump regime's. like, "No, we don't want to show the. list." Well, Judge Boseberg made the. Trump regime turn over the list. And it. turns up the list is like a fabricated. list. Like the names are like made up. And there's like like immediately it was. like 47% of the list were like madeup. people. So just think about that that of.

this list before you even get to who the. hell are these people who are actually. in this like state but are probably. registered voters 40 47%'s made like 50%. of what you would be doing is just like. madeup work product. And then the other. people you then have to say well is that. maybe someone with a similar sounding. name? Does that person actually live in. the state anymore? you can still go into. all of those types of issues and you. know it turns out that the list was kind. of bogus to begin with. So that's what.

was discovered in DC. Then you had the. Supreme Court making the ruling that you. just showed over there denying the. Department of Justice request for an. emergency stay of the California. election cases with no noted dissents. The court did not even ask for. opposition briefs. So this was a. complete defeat for the Trump DOJ which. again wanted to pry into the California. votes. Hat tip to Mark Elias and the. Elias group. They do really good work. over there and all of the uh clients of. Mark who participated in that case. But.

the final takeaway is the Trump regime. lost. They lost everyone of their cases. and they will continue to lose if they. bring these frivolous cases. But I want. to go back to article one section 4. clause one. time, place, and manner of. holding elections for senators and. representatives shall be prescribed by. the state because this is a states. rights issues. But of course, the Trump. regime is never about states rights at. all. They're about a authoritarian like. Donald Trump destroying states rights.

and destroying the rights of people. But. here's what Donald Trump said on that. New York Post deranged podcast with. Miranda Divine where Trump says people. don't know what the word incumbent. means. just people don't know what it. means. Here, play this clip. >> Something about Republican, incumbent, tiny little, you know, letters on the. bottom. A lot of people don't know what. that means. Incumbent, what does that. mean? Incumbent, they have no idea. >> So, what other.

>> I mean, and she's looking at him. It's. like, why normalize that behavior? People know what the word incumbent. means. They know like there's 743,000. people who live in Alaska. They know who. the Republican incumbent is, okay? And. they have rank choice voting which. actually requires a lot of diligence. instead of just basically bubbling one. person. It's not confusing to anybody. there. There's anyone who's outraged. about this. I'm more outraged about. James Comr's new hair dye than I'm.

outraged about, you know, Alaska. And. when we come back, I want to also. because Donald Trump doesn't apparently. know the word incumbent. He also doesn't. know the word resilient because when. Donald Trump was asked by the New York. Post reporter, "Do you think Iran's been. resilient?" He goes, "What does. resilient mean?" They want to talk. They. want to talk. You don't know what the. word resilient means or you're. pretending not to know. And it's like, it's ridiculous. Brett and Jordy, I want. to get your take on all of that, but. let's go to a quick break. WTF America. is our book, The Way Out of This Hell.

and Back to Democracy. Number two on the. New York Times bestsellers. Get the hard. copy, get the ebook, or the audio. Let's. get it to number one. Love to hear your. reviews.

So, I'd love to read your. review. And it helps when people see.

that this is an important book. And I. do. I think even though this book was. released before the election, it is a. book that's actually not about. elections. It is a book about how do we. create a healthy democratic democracy. small D environment where we can get out. of this hell and we focus on. generational change, the globalist. authoritarian network who want to attack. elections and the foundation of. democracy and how they are the. arsonists, destroy systems and then try. to be like they're the ones who can fix.

it. That's their game plan. internationally. It's what the Epstein. class does. It's in the Epstein files. that plan as well. We talk about that in. the book. All right. Um reminder, election coverage tomorrow uh right here. on the Midas Touch Network. Scott. McFarland, Katie Fang, Luke Rael, and I. will also and I'll be uh co-hosting it. as well.

survey, let them know we sent you. Benji, where your next big bro? So. basically the DOJ is being treated like. Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell as Mark. Elias said right now. >> Yeah, I wanted to bring up that quote. I. thought it was a great reply by Mark. Elias who is the attorney on these cases. and uh in this case and he said note the. Supreme Court has denied DOJ's. application about the California. election without even asking for us to. respond and it was referred to the full. court. Not a single justice noted a.

descent. This is unprecedented. DOJ is. now being treated like Cydney Powell and. Rudy Giuliani. The president's lawyers. told Scotas that there's a huge. emergency and the court just shrugged. and said, "Nah, without even hearing. from the other side, this is how far. this DOJ has fallen under Todd Blanch in. the eyes of the court." And I think. that's, you know, obviously an important. ruling to see for practical reasons. before these elections, but I think it. also should be a motivating ruling to.

people because I think there are a lot. of fears about this election out there. because Donald Trump has tried to. instill fear in you. But despite all. that fear, people are showing up to the. polls and it's looking like a record. turnout election. So don't mind Trump. He's going to do what he's going to do. But the big point I want to hammer home. is we got the smartest people on the. prodemocracy side who are handling these. cases. We got people like Mark Elias. We. got people like Norm Eisen. We have.

people who actually have intelligence. and know how to work these cases. So let. them do their thing and you do your. part. Everybody does their part in a. democracy. And the other thing so over. break I was thinking again about Trump. in front of the reflecting pool. I just. it's just really a stunning image. I. mean, if you were to say like what is. the. what what's the best metaphor for Donald. Trump's failed presidency? You could. argue that the metaphor for the. disastrous Trump presidency is the.

reflecting pool. In fact, we have a. whole chapter in our book WTF America. about how the reflecting pool is a. metaphor for every bad thing that Donald. Trump does. And so Donald Trump the day. before decides to show up in front of. the reflecting pool in front of the. physical manifestation of his disaster. I you can't you Democrats could I mean. this has got to be an inkind. contribution to Democrats at this point. I just can't even I just can't even. believe this. But. >> well look himself. This is that's.

exactly what happens though again when. you're surrounded yourself by a bunch of. yes people who have not who who are too. afraid to speak up. I believe some of. the people he surrounded himself are. smart. I think they're smart and evil, but I think some of them are smart. I. think some of the dumber ones think. they're smart, and those are probably. the loudest ones in his cabinet, but yet. they are all they they all share this. one thing in common, and is that they're. all too cowardly to tell them, "Hey, maybe let's not have it in front of, you. know, the reflecting pool where you. tried to have that Olympian arrested.". Maybe maybe we maybe we don't do it.

there. you know, the one that's Ninja. Turtle Green that may maybe the closing. message should should really be more. about like affordability and like yes, this country can get back on track if we. all just stick together. Not going to. your Halloween party and and saying I. have the richest bankers here. It's it's. the whole thing is lunacy, Benji. Sorry. >> Yeah. You know, and I I'll say this. because you talk a lot, Jordy, about the. people around him and whether they're. cowardly or whether they're just. different versions of him. I mean these.

are also deeply demented people. Um but. at some point also I mean this is about. him. I mean right it stop it starts and. stops at the top and he picked people. around him whether it's the JDs or the. Hexits or the Bessins or the Lutnik and. it's a cabinet of Epstein class. disgusting vile creatures and that's who. they are you know but at the top you. have the most disgusting and vile. creature of them all and it's why. character matters and it's why I don't.

want to sound like a broken record or. that you know I'm talking in these these. kind of deep platitudes or these deep. concepts. But it's really important. because where you have corporate news. gamify elections and it's who's up and. who's down and you almost kind of create. uh you remember in video games growing. up there was a there was a feature, right, where you could have computer. assistance on and computer assistance. off, right? And if computer assistants. on, they'd always kind of keep the games.

close and so you would turn computer. assistance off so you could actually. play the game if maybe you have no clue. what I'm talking about. But, you know, corporate news has almost been computer. assistance on or Trump assistants on. where they've tried to, you know, make. this all seem kind of normal. And it's. like I I don't love covering all of. these rallies, nor do I think you like. watching all of them. But it is. important for a productive democracy to. open our eyes and to see how demented. this behavior is because if you watch it.

and I try to make the recaps, you know, not the full two hours. I break them. down 10 to 13, 14 minutes, sometimes. less, sometimes slightly more. But you. can see this behavior and it is so. deeply dangerous. And it is, you go back. and you look at the guy's character, it's consistent with where he's been his. whole life. He's bankrupted thing after. thing after thing after thing. He's a. felon. He's an actual felon. I don't. know why we don't like that's not. mentioned. I mean, the guy is a felon. Dozens of felony counts. He was found.

guilty. Unanimous jury. He's a sex. predator. He's been found civily liable. in a federal court for sexual assault. And he was scared to testify. So, he hid. in Europe or he went to I think he was. in Ireland um when he was in Ireland or. Scotland during the trial, the sex. assault trial. He lied and said he was. going to show up to the trial and then. no showed. And then the judge is like, "Is he going to show up?" Remember the. Takapino? Remember the lawyer talking. about say he's not showing up. He's just.

saying he's going to show up like he's. not going to show up. And if you look at. him, whether it's the case he files. against the BBC for $10 billion and then. they say, "All right, let's take your. deposition." Oh, no. I don't want to be. deposed. I don't want to be deposed. Right? You know, whether it's the case. he files against the Wall Street. Journal, uh, saying that they defamed. him for publishing an article that. showed that he sent a letter to Epstein. on his 50th birthday. Right. Trump's a. loser. He he loses the case. He's a. loser. I mean, he it's it's loss after.

loss. When you stand up to the guy, he. doesn't win. And so, if you look at what. he's doing in Iran as well, it's a. version of it's it's all part of this. deeply flawed and sick and demented. pathology. And it's like uh for our nation again, it's like for all even like like. obviously for me, we should never have. been involved in this catastrophic war. to begin with. No matter what your view. is, like I don't know how you look at. that and go, "Huh, that's that's what we.

were looking for." Like that's strength. What What the hell are we even doing. right now? What are we do, Donald? What. what there's no strategy. There's no. plan. Our military bases were all. destroyed. The closest our aircraft. carriers could even get to the straight. of is a thousand kilometers. Every day. Iran strikes more tankers. Um you have. Iran's top leadership today. Hey, they. met with Wangi in Beijing. At the same. time, you had the Sultan of Oman meeting.

with Wangi, the foreign minister in. Beijing. You had Moshin Razi, another. top Iranian adviser to Ayatollah Mojabak. speaking with Putin. It's so obvious. that they're planning an entirely new. security architecture in the Middle East. with China and Russia as the kind of. security guarantors in the region as the. US gets pushed out of there. You have. Kim Jong-un doing more ballistic missile. nuclear tests right now. You have Iran. today striking um you know two one MQ9.

Reaper and then two other MQM. reconnaissance drones were getting. struck down like 55 MQ9 Reapers have. been destroyed. A lot of these. reconnaissance drones are being. destroyed. And then Donald's like, "We. don't we don't even know who their. leaders are because I killed them all.". No, you you didn't. I mean, you didn't. you killed their Ayatollah, you know, which was not the right decision to be. very clear. It's the stupidest decision. that you could make. Um, along with his.

daughter and his grandkid and his. son-in-law and other people in the in. his house. Um, but we know who the. Iranian leadership is. I know who the. IRGC leadership is. I know who runs. their navy. I know who runs their army. I know who their foreign minister is. I. know who their deputy foreign minister. is. I know who their president is. I. know who are the top advisers to. Ayatollah Moabaka. I like you know it's. takes some time to study it. In the past. I might not need to study this because.

you'd believe that we have a functioning. state department and we have a. functioning defense department but we. don't. He just acts like we don't know. who their people are. They're all in. caves. They don't have weapons. THEY'VE. GOT A LOT OF WEAPONS. They've got. probably more weapons than when the war. started. ballistic missiles, cruise. missiles, uh missiles, anti-ship. missiles. They've got uh upgraded drone. capabilities right now. And so if you. were to launch a catastrophic escalation. against Iran, the response would be. absolutely equally and significantly.

more catastrophic in the region. And. it's like what what are we even like. what are we doing here other than Donald. Trump like enjoying the idea that the. world lives or dies by like his decision. and he gets off on that concept. >> Trump is really playing with fire here. too. And you know, behind the scenes, if. you're kind of reading the tea leaves, which don't require much reading, it. just requires just looking at what's. happening. It really feels like Donald. Trump is begging these uh back in these.

back channels, Iran, to please make a. deal with him. And it just goes to show. you all the projection when Donald Trump. says they're begging for a deal. They're. begging for a deal. All the information. that's coming in is that Donald Trump. and his negotiating team through. intermediaries are begging Iran to make. some sort of deal. and they were hoping. that they could get something done. before the midterms and Iran every step. of the way has just been like nah nope. nope maybe later not right now see you. later and it's just like a humiliation. ritual after humiliation ritual for the.

Trump regime to do this and so Trump's. strategy a day before the midterm is to. again just go back to this idea just oh. we won we actually we won as like while. Donald Trump is saying that there are. multiple tankers in the straight of. Hormuz that are being struck and the war. continues to escalate and there's all. this talk right now, okay, so if Trump. escalates, then Iran's going to escalate. and they're going to attack all the. other countries in the Middle East. And. if uh Trump and and if Iran does that, then the countries in the Middle East. plan on striking back at Iran and then.

it's going to create this massive. regional war once again that's going to. be a very big war. And Donald Trump just. goes, "We won, we won, we won." I I'll. show you the clip from the reflecting. pool which is the perfect side by side. of two of his uh disasters from his. regime from his term to see the. reflecting pool behind him and him. talking about his failed war with Iran. >> things planned for Washington and I. could get into the nation but for that. you don't have enough time but I can.

only say that we're uh we had a war with. Iran we won we had a war with and you. know I don't know if you even. >> we won we won that's the strategy no. plan no strategy That's it. >> If you say it enough times, they'll. believe you. That's what that that that. is Donald Trump's whole methodology. You. know, I not in the prediction business, nor am I making a prediction, especially. over something so serious as what I'm. about to say here. But I do grow. increasingly concerned over one, Donald. Trump and his reactionary behavior, if. you will, because it just seems like he. he's not in control of his own emotions, the way he snaps at female reporters,

the way he snaps at reporters in. general, and just how he behaves. generally. Assuming a gigantic blue wave. coming up here, I worry about very. specifically the next 24, 48, 72 hours. and the escalation of what Donald Trump. will do in this war in Iran. Like where. where could he possibly take this? I I. think we could actually see something. pretty severe. And again, I I'm not. making a prediction here. That's. disgusting. But it's just my own. personal worry of his erratic behavior. and where he's going to take these.

things and how quickly he can escalate. this because there's just no checks. right now on him at all. You know, my. view of him studying him is that he's a. coward and he's very scared. But the. ambiguity he creates with all of his. lies creates a terrain for. misunderstandings where there could be. an escalation that is. uh you know. but is you know mis misconstrued, right? I mean, the fact that our military right.

now is prepared for catastrophic. escalation and you've got Hegsith and. this Brad Cooper, the head of SenCom, you know, and a lot of bloodthirsty. people. You have specifically you have. Netanyahu who is cornered right now and. you have Gotti Eisenkot the opposition. leader with the Yashar party apparently. working to form a government with an. Arab block which could push Netanyahu. out of power unless Netanyahu could can. try to instigate a national security. incident to create kind of a national. emergency government over there. And so.

you have all of this dynamic and you. have this weak coward, you know, but. blowh hard and that any mistake or any. whatever can lead to this kind of. massive escalation. I mean, you look. what Donald Trump's doing around Mara. Lago right now, and he's building all of. these Avenger or he's built out this. system of these Avenger surfaceto-air. missiles to protect himself from drone. and ballistic missile strikes at Mara. Lago while the United States coast. doesn't have uh protection. We showed.

videos here on the Midas Touch network. of one of the commanders of NORAD who. said, "We don't have any protections. from drones or ballistic missiles or. cruise missiles." And so I I truly. believe that in Donald Trump's mind, he. he would like to catastrophically. escalate. You know, he's a sicko. He he. he he gets off on it. I also think he's. a I think he's scared. I think he's a. scared person. And I don't and I don't. think he I think he expected just like.

in the litigations that his bluffs are. going to work. He's used to the bluffs. working. He's used to in out easy. You. know, some law firms bend the knee. You. could uh like say that's similar to Deli. Rodriguez in Venezuela, right? But when. you fight back, he loses. So when Iran. pushes back, he loses. Or in a trade war. context, right? There are some countries. that like immediately like bend the knee. and like agree to what he wants, you.

know, and then there are countries that. push back. And when you push back, you. know, like Canada and you create other. structures like Trump loses and then he. just goes, "We won." You know, they're. begging for a deal. They're begging for. a deal. And I I I I come to the same. conclusion, Jordy, that uh we could be. very close to catastrophic escalation. And there's also no strategy, there's no. plan, there's no anything because we. never should have been in this. catastrophic war to begin with. And what. Iran's position, which they make clear.

over and over again, is that we don't. have any trust in a negotiation. Every. time we've engaged in negotiations, you've escalated the war. So we have. zero trust. We do anou and then you. didn't unfreeze the funds. You've made. no efforts to try to get out of southern. Lebanon. Marco Rubio immediately travel. to the Middle East to undermine the. memorandum of understanding. You try to. open up a southern route, which you. didn't have during the war in order to. get ships out. So you use the MOU as a. way to achieve objectives you couldn't. achieve during the catastrophic war. So.

Iran's position is you don't control the. straight of Hormuz. You may be able to. smuggle out some ships but you don't. control the straight of Hormuz. So the. negotiation has nothing to do with. nuclear. It's only going to be about the. straight of Hormuz. We don't want to. talk about nuclear. So every time the. Trump regime is like we'll get you even. a better deal than the Obama deal for. the JCPOA with nuclear capabilities. Iran's like, "Sorry, we're not talking. about nuclear. There will be no nuclear. conversations unless you first do our. seven preconditions, and then we might.

have a talk about the nuclear file, but. we have no interest in combining them at. all. We're just not going to talk about. it." So, Donald Trump blusters. He. threatens. He does this, that, and the. other. he sends Qatari mediators and. this one and that one and Iran keeps. coming back with the same message of. saying no, we're not discussing anything. relating to the nuclear file um until we. get these seven conditions met because. we don't believe you'll do the things. and then you'll try to declare a. victory. You'll try to use this to then.

further escalate on us. So, we're not. falling for it. And that's been kind of. their consistent position and Donald. Trump's not used to like what do you do? They're like no no no. And then to Brett. your point you can see JD Vance sending. a letter to Moshin Razi who's the top. adviser to Ayat Mojabak and then Trump. will be like oh he did it because we. want to give medical supplies to the. Iranians. What we did it because we want. to give medical supplies or you believe. Moshin Razi side of it which is he's. asking us to do a deal where we give up.

nuclear and we're not going to give up. anything relating to nuclear right now. until they meet our seven preconditions. Like what do you think the Qatari. mediators are going there to talk? They're being dispatched by the United. States to offer Iran what the US. believes is a better deal from the. perspective of you know a strong or weak. a weaker more diluted deal. Obama's deal. would be stronger but Iran's still like. we don't trust you. We don't believe it. until you do our seven conditions. So.

that's what's going on right now. But. I'm also paying attention to what's. going on in Beijing where you had the. top Saudi Arabian leaders. Uh you had. the top Omani leaders, the Sultan of. Oman, you had a top Iranian official. They were all there meeting with Wang Yi. while Moshin Razi is calling Putin. And. so I'm looking at it from the standpoint. of the security architecture being. changed. And Donald Trump's like posting. memes of himself and Elvis and it's. like, okay, like we're not we're not a. serious It's true. Like we're not a.

serious nation. For those on audio, I'm. showing the picture of what Donald Trump. is posting before the midterms. His face. superimposed on Elvis. >> Maybe he just heard Jord's rant calling. him fat Elvis in the late stage of his. Elvis. Yeah, >> the analysis I gave there is serious. analysis. The American people can handle. that, right? And we need to determine, okay, well, what's the plan right here? We obviously got involved in this. catastrophic war. We shouldn't have. What should we do? You know, and I've. I've given you my plan before. We should.

leave. We should leave the straight of. Hormuz. We should allow at this point. We didn't have to before, but this is. the only option. Let Iran and Oman and. regional powers control the straight of. Hormuz for some nominal fee or for some, you know, uh, environmental impact fee, which will be a fraction of the cost. that's taking place right now. And then. what you can say is if Iran doesn't open. up the straight of Hormuz or if they. create issues, build a regional.

coalition, start making, you know, it's. hard because Trump destroyed all of the. alliances, but then if Iran doesn't open. it up once you remove the aircraft. carriers, you know what? Unfreeze the 12. billion funds. It's like well what what. and then you can talk about a. reconstruction budget in the in the in a. format of investment in the region so. that you know you could save face as the. United States government but it could be. kind of cooperative and you know and and. and you give regional powers more power. and autonomy and that's the plan like.

that's my that will work you know then. we can be out of it. I don't think it. looks weak. I think a deal is needed and. it's done. What looks weak right now is, oh, we're winning. We're winning. We're. winning. We control it. Or send comp. that that's weak. Just get out. You. lost. There's a way to do this in the. right way. And if Iran then controls the. straight of Hormuz after you do that, then you go, okay, re, we're building a. coalition throughout the world. And now. you'll be able to, you know, work with. the moral authority to open it. That's.

it's simple. That's it. That's the. strategy. It's actually fairly simple, but we need serious freaking people. So, I leave I leave you with that uh with. that thought right there, >> Brett Jordy. That's what I got for you. >> Sorry, my mic my mic was muted and I had. something up on my screen. Um, no, I I. completely agree with everything you. just said. Um, we got a big day. tomorrow. That's what I'm going to say. We got a big day tomorrow and all I want. to say is that expect the Trump regime, especially considering just the chaos in.

every other aspect of this presidency, expect them to try to do the worst, right? expect them to try to sew as much. chaos and division to try to pull stunts. throughout the day. I already saw the. Department of Justice like the Trump. rapid response account responded to like. a PBS tweet or something like that. And. the PBS tweet was essentially uh you. know just to let you know how elections. are counted. It's very normal for you to. go to bed at midnight on Tuesday night. and not know all the results and that. the results take a while to get counted.

and the Trump uh rapid response account. or whatever like they did a quote tweet. or something of that and said wrong, incorrect, nope, not normal. That's the. kind of stuff that they want to put into. the bloodstream, right? And that's the. kind of stuff you're going to see from. all these MAGA influencers, these MAGA. propagandists. They're going to start. pushing all this crap. They're going to. start pushing, oh, look at the anomaly. at this location and this location, and. look how they're cheating here, and look. how they're cheating here, and look, oh, of course, more ballots just dropped at. midnight at 3:00 a.m. They're going to.

pull all that crap. But we're prepared. for it. You are prepared for it. Stay. tuned to our coverage tomorrow here on. the Midas Touch Network, be on our.
