LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to MAJOR BREAKING NEWS - 6/4/26

We've got a lot to discuss on today's. episode of the Midas Touch podcast. You. have Donald Trump praising the Ayatollah. after a 28 billion dollar nuclear deal. was announced between Iran and Russia. Also, when Donald Trump was not praising. the Ayatollah, he was falling asleep. during this bizarre Oval Office press. conference. Donald Trump had disappeared. for about eight days. And since he has. surfaced, he has not been looking too. good. and the things that he's been. saying even more derange than before.

Also, we saw Trump regime cabinet. officials one by one falling under. brutal cross-examination at Senate and. House of Representative hearings. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, brutal cross exams. We'll show you what. went down there. also a war powers. resolution passed in the House of. Representatives to block Donald Trump's. unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran. A.

procedural vote to proceed on the war. powers resolution previously passed in. the Senate. So the actual War Powers. Resolution would need to pass in the. Senate. Trump could still veto it, but. it does send a very powerful message. when you have both the House and the. Senate declaring Trump's war in Iran to. be unlawful, catastrophic. And we see. each day the problems compounding as. Donald Trump pretends that there is no. war taking place. And of course, since.

the last time we've done a Midas Touch. podcast, we've seen massive escalation. with the United States, striking areas. in the straight of Hermuz, Iran. responding by striking an air base of. the United States military in Kuwait and. also the international airport terminal. in Kuwait. Sententcom first claimed that. there was actually no targets that were. hit by Iran, right? A Sententcom message. said everything was great. Our. interceptors and the interceptors of.

Kuwait were able to stop any of the. incoming drones and ballistic missiles. We reported shortly thereafter like, "We. think Sentcom's lying." To which I know. a lot of people responded, "What do you. mean? You think SenCom's lying? Like why. are you saying things that we're not. hearing anywhere else?" because I I'm. watching video of what the airport looks. like and it looks like the airport was. hit and it's on fire. And then the next. day it was undeniable what happened. At. least one person was killed in the. airport, an Indian national, at least 63. people were injured. That number may be.

understating things as well. And of. course that follows a US soldier being. killed in northern Iraq, a UK soldier. being killed in northern Iraq which. Sencom claims was caused by military. training uh exercises. Also the US fifth. naval fleet in Bahrain was targeted by. Iran as well and American military. assets there were significantly uh. damaged. And so the bottom line is we. need a war powers resolution to block. this catastrophic and unlawful war. And.

with each day that passes, things are. just getting worse. And we are now. getting very, very dangerously close to. hitting kind of rock bottom of the oil. reserves. And I know I keep raising this. red flag, but we're like a week and a. half away from really running out of the. kind of threshold number in our oil. reserves where all of a sudden you then. see a dramatic spike. So we'll we'll. cover that as well. There's also a. screworm outbreak killing cattle. There's a measles and Ebola outbreak.

that's killing people. And Donald Trump. wants to focus on his reflecting our. reflecting pool that he thinks is his. pool that he's turning bright blue, which he keeps on saying is larger than. skyscrapers. Okay, I don't I don't even. understand the comparison. What are you. talking about? A horizontal pool is. taller than vertical skyscrapers. Just. the most ridiculous thing ever. Also, Donald Trump posted moments before we. went live that uh he's definitely.

cancelling all musical concerts in. connection with America's 250 birthday. and that it's going to be a disgusting. Trump rally. And speaking of disgusting. and Trump, Ivanka and Jared Kushner are. trying to take over an island in. Albania. Uh and the Albanian people are. protesting that. I mean, hundreds of. thousands of people in Albania have. taken to the streets to say, "Get these. people away. We don't need another. Epstein island over here. We don't want.

a Trump island over here in one of our. most kind of protected and beautiful. islands." And then you have like Ivanka. saying, "I discovered this island when I. was on a boat with a Rothschild heir.". She said she discovered the island when. she was on a hundred million dollar. yacht owned by a Roth's child heir. I. must have I must have the Albanian. island, Daddy and Jared. I must have the. Albanian Island. The people there are.

not having it. And then Eddie Rama, the. prime minister or the leader rather of. um of uh of Albania is out there. He's. like, "There's no project. It's not. happening. What are you talking about? It's just just just just all the things. you see here. The $4 billion project. No, don't believe it. We'll talk we'll. talk about that and more on the Midas. Touch podcast. Brett and Jordy, how you. guys doing? >> Doing well. Good to see you, Ben. Good. to see you, Jordy. Good to see you, Midas Mighty. Everybody who's tuning in.

live, everybody who's listening, whether. you're listening on Apple Podcast, Spotify, whatever audio apps you get to. show, thank you for uh tuning in. Just. regular Mellin there, folks. Ivanka. discovering islands. Wow. Very very very. very impressive Ivanka can't amazing. amazing talent in that family I gota. say. >> Ah can I have that Albanian island Mr. Rothschild Mr. Rothschild can I have. that one papa does that belong to me? I. >> if if I made the scenario up I think he.

would be like okay Rothschild reel it. reel it in a little bit like that's a. little extreme. What a what a freaking. mess. you know, as I listened to your. intro, the one thing I can't help but. think about is like I never realized how. uh everything apparently in the country. and in the world was basically hanging. by a thread. And thankfully we had smart. people who were keeping everything in. check and keeping things going on like. keeping screworm out of the United. States of America and keeping Ebola. under control and then doing all these.

things. Then all a sudden you put these. incompetent fools in uh who think they. could just tweet their way out of issues. and suddenly everything is on fire. everywhere you look. I mean, who who. would have thought? But I in all. seriousness, I feel like things are a. lot more fragile uh than than most. people thought probably in a pre-Trump. world, but here we are. Uh there's a lot. to get through today and so I think we. should really kind of just get into it. But you know, first got to check in with. the J man. Jordy, what's the latest. >> brothers? Might asy what's going on? Pumped to get into today's show. Brett,

you're so right. I mean, look, it's it's. why I I I say it maybe too often on the. show. It's why we need real adults in. the room making real decisions and not. just like haphazardly deciding what to. do based on vibes, which is I think what. we're seeing out of this Trump regime. A. lot to get into today, Benji, where are. we starting off, big bro? >> Yeah. I mean, it's not shocking though, Brett, right? I mean, everything kind of. hangs by threads like like we hang by. threads, right? Like like like just. think about us like if if I'm recording,

right? And all of a sudden I just. started like taking this pen and just. started like jamming the pen into me. like I'm going to be hurt, right? And I. could say, "No, I'm not hurt. This is. normal, everybody. >> Be careful. Be careful. Be careful. >> This is normal. This is normal, everybody." But what do you think. happens when you inflict pain upon. yourself that every expert says to you, "Hey, Ben, if you do that, you're going. to cause pain. You're going to rupture. things." Right? People were saying, "Hey, when you do tariffs against the. world, you are applying attacks on.

yourself." No, no, I'm not. Yes, you. are. Yes, you are. That's what a. freaking tariff is. Stop it. And then. you have the Trump sickens who are all. like, "Uh, no, it's actually a tax on. the other country." No, that's not. that's literally not what it is. You. know, something that they announced. today when we talk about this press. conference. We're going to invoke the. Defense Production Act. This like. wartime cold war error authority in. order to help coal plants while we. destroy clean energy. And because we.

don't like the word green, we don't like. Green New Deal. We don't like the idea. of anything unless it's like dirty. We. don't like that. So, we're going to. destroy wind and we're going to destroy. solar. all the things that are being. invested in by other countries, not just. to do the right thing for the. environment, but to make money. And it's. like, okay, we're going to do that. We're going to go to war with Iran. because Netanyahu says so. And then. we're not going to even think through. the second and third level consequences. that maybe the straight of Hormuz is.

going to be closed. And then while the. straight of Hermuza is closed, our grand. plan is to do a blockade on a blockade. and then declare that there's a victory. and that there's a ceasefire while a war. is literally taking place still to this. day. But we're just going to say. ceasefire and then when prices continue. to go up because there actually isn't a. real ceasefire. And guess what? The. straight of Hermuz had hundreds of. tankers leaving every day and now that's.

not happening. that's going to have. consequences not just when it comes to. the price of crude but also the price of. fertilizers also the price and supply of. helium and other things that we need to. like run our country and function. So. all of these things, Brett, as you. mentioned at the beginning, everything. is hanging by a thread. That's that's. life sometimes. And that's why on this. show, what we talk about very frequently. beyond the kind of gamification of. politics is you need adults and you need.

experts. the same way that you wouldn't. go see a uh individual who has no. medical experience to help you with. issues regarding your heart where you. need to see a cardiologist expert. You're not going to pick some trust fund. kid who has no clue about intelligence. and the intelligence community to become. the head of the ODNI, the office of the.

director of national intelligence and. give somebody classified information who. before being appointed to work at some. obscure housing agency that he. weaponized to go after Donald Trump's. enemies by saying everybody didn't do. their mortgage documents correctly and. deserve to be politically ally and. criminally prosecuted. The guy was out. there doing these like weird meme stock. conventions where he was like uh with. these with these like weird dudes. hitting each other with dildos and uh.

and and giving themselves trophies with. they said tram stamps and that like he. likes them young and I don't want to. show that video again, but you've got. this guy now leading the ODNI, you know, and to me there's just core competency. issues right here and there's issues of. just needing the facts and needing the. truth and this Trump regime, you know, they can try to sell this alternative. reality. But guess what? The world, the. rest of the world isn't buying it. And.

we're feeling the consequences, you. know, take place every day. I want to go. over those consequences. I want to talk. about what's happening. But, you know, I. I'll go out of order from where I. thought the show was going to go. I. mean, why don't we just start off by. showing you I mean, I'll show you first. what Ivanka said because while you and I. and and I just want to show you, oh, Ivanka, look, you know, she's a horrible. human. Yes, she's a horrible human. Jared Kushner's a horrible human. These. are terrible, terrible people. But the. point is is that while you're out there.

struggling to pay your rent, while you. are having your health care ripped away. from you, as the May job numbers show. 97,000 jobs were cut in May, the most. since 2020. While people are out there. suffering and can't buy gas or groceries. or can't afford anything, and it's going. to get much worse, you have Ivanka out. there making these weird videos that. look like they're from Demolition Man.

Remember that movie with Wesley Snipes? You know, it looks like some dystopian. futuristic thing. And she's out there. and she's like, "Hey, I want to let you. know about this island I discovered. Everybody knows that I love adventure. And so I was out there and she says all. of these like there's all these like. this language that she's using and that. Jared use. I don't even know like it I. know they're speaking English but. they're like just named dropping all of. these like islands and things that are.

just not accessible to most human. beings. I'm like what are you even. talking about? C can we just get someone. health care please? Can we get the. American people the ability to live and. not die so we can have affordable. healthcare? Watch. Ivanka, >> I'm working on an incredible project. with my husband in the Mediterranean. It's It's massive in scale. >> I think that's an understatement. Can. you explain it? >> There's no power on this island. You're. building You're building everything from. scratch. Correct.

>> Well, it's an unbelievable beautiful. 1,400 hectare private island in the. middle of the Mediterranean. We were on. a friend's boat and we stopped for a. swim. Effectively, that's how we found. it. We swam to the islands. We went on a. hike barefoot all the way up to the top. and we were just captivated. >> And now I'll show you what Jared Kushner. had to say. Play this clip of Jared. >> I was on a vacation after we left. government in the summer of 2021. We.

were on our friend Nat Rothschild's. boat. Uh we got picked up in Montenegro. and then we started sailing over to. Corfu and we spent a couple days in. Albania. One of the nights uh there. Prime Minister Rama came to the boat. I. had not met him when I was in. government. Uh but I was very very. impressed with his vision for what he. wanted to do with Albania. I really. didn't know anything about the country. I didn't understand the history and the. darkness of the history with the. communism and the terrible leadership. actually led to it being fully. undeveloped as a nation. But Eddie came.

in, he has a one of the cool things I. was attracted to is the fact that he uh. seemed like a very skilled politician as. a very strong uh and smart leader, but. also the fact that he was an artist. I. thought it would be very uh cool to see. what a country really led and and built. by an artist could be. Now, let me be. very clear. This island, they didn't. discover it. It's an island in Albania. that is well known. It's known for its. uh ecological.

uh uh landscapes and uh this area there. was not any uh there were you were not. allowed to develop this island. purposefully because it had flamingos. and seals and all of these incredible, you know, animals and wildlife and it. was a point of pride for the people. And. then you have, you know, Jared Kushner. and you had Ivanka right there basically. saying, you know, no, that that we we.

discovered it on the Rothschild's. yacht. Like that's what they're talking. about. And then the prime minister of. Albania, Idi Rambo, who you just heard. them say, he goes on CNN and here's what. he has to say. Let's play it. Uh in this. protest there are wellmeaning people, young people interested uh genuinely to. the environment that have been uh misled. big time. There is not such a thing like.

a Trump family Ireland. There is not. such a thing like the family of the. American president taking over uh. protected areas where flamingos will be. will be killed uh by uh yeah by them. Are these are all stories that of course. get traction but uh are can't be far. from the truth. >> I wonder why they would get traction. Where where would we get this idea from.

that they were doing this island? where what how would we get such an. idea, Brett? I mean, who was it possible. that Jared and Ivanka would be the ones. promoting that? And look, I don't want. to belver Jared and Ivanka. You get the. point. Um, but the but they are pushing. that. It's a intentional decision that. they want to push that in your face. while you while you are out there. suffering. And they're doing projects. like this in Bgrade where there were. protests, in Australia where there are.

protests. They're doing one in Telissi. They're going up and they are cutting. deals also with the most corrupt people. as well in order to further enrich. themselves. And that's kind of Donald. Trump in a nutshell as well. While that. was going on, you have Trump in the Oval. Office. Did. >> Hold on. Hold on. I I One sec. We got to. say something. I I I I I am [laughter]. I I I I I think you know ultimately when. you look at what's going on there though. it's the perfect representation of the. global oligarchy that we're seeing right.

and and just the disdain at which they. look at normal people. I think it's. interesting because throughout this. entire second Trump term Jared and. Ivanka have really kind of been on the. back burner. Now Jared got very involved. once the Middle East uh war once that. all heated up and Jared is now like this. unelected bureaucrat making some of the. most important decisions while he is. heavily invested in the Middle East that. has all of these conflicts of interest. Somehow someway he has been thrust into.

the middle of these negotiations with. zero oversight. I think that is. absolutely appalling. But you don't even. see Kushner go on TV to speak about this. stuff. In the first term you'd see him. at press briefings. In the first term, you would he was a public-f facing guy. At this point, he's really not. Nor is. Ivanka. Ivanka's try almost tried to. separate herself in a lot of ways from. the Trump brand. almost to a point where she's kind of. pretending not even to be Donald Trump's. daughter. Like she is so distanced from. what is happening in the White House. this term compared to past terms. But I.

think what we are seeing this term. compared to the last Donald Trump term. amongst Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, really. all of them is I think they've kind of. realized, oh, we could get away with all. this stuff. The grift, we could if we. just had like a slightly lower profile. and we aren't out there in the White. House every day. We aren't at the press. briefings. We aren't at the events, but. we'll just do our thing. We'll invest in. these companies that are going to get. contracts with the United States. government. We're going to invest in a.

drone company here. We're going to sell. this product there. And that is the. strategy that they've used. And so I. think it's actually quite fascinating. that Ivanka and Jared wanted to kind of. announce this project in the way that. they did. But when you also track the. history of this project, like Ben said, it was protected land. uh the it was. only fasttracked after Donald Trump won. the election. It is the perfect. representation of all this global. corruption that we've seen and all these.

leaders and CEOs and lawyers who at the. beginning of the Trump regime started. immediately capitulating to Donald Trump. and offering all all these things. We. saw it in the first Trump term a lot. with like China, right? China fasttrack. the Ivanka patents. There was a lot of. stuff like that that has been. supercharged this term. and the fact. that a head of state of government can. give away a public piece of land to. Donald Trump's relatives so that they. could build their own weirdo island for. them to do god knows what on to me it.

just shows the moral rot and the. oligarchical rot that we are seeing not. just in the US but that's connected in. this way across the world. >> well saidby I I don't really have much. nuance to add to this conversation other. than the fact that if you watch those. videos for our audio listeners like I I. really want you to go to the YouTube and. watch those videos. They Jared and. Ivanka, they look like AI. Like they. just deeply look like soulless creatures. as they're [laughter] up there. You're. so right. As as you're watching that. video, you're like, what what are these. words? Like what are they even saying?

Is this your first time speaking? >> It honestly it is so like beyond. anything. And I think you know something. deeper here is what we could probably. see. Again, I hate doing these dumb. little predictions here, but it's just. like what seems to be criminality to a. certain degree, maybe within the family. when it comes to certain investments. that they're making. I think they're all. just kind of banking on the fact that. they know that they're going to get a. blanket pardon when Trump leaves office. in 28. And so, Brett, to your point, right, there are no consequences for.

these children right now, at least as. they see them. And I hate calling them. children. They're they're grown ass. adults, you know, they're digital right. now, the oldest president of the United. States. They're his kids. So, we refer. to them as children, but they're no, they're grown as adults. They know. exactly what they're doing. >> I'm going to say it's a safe a safe bet, Jordy, that you are right that at the. end of this Trump term that there will. be a flurry of pardons like we have. never seen. And of course, he's going to. use the justification of well, Biden did. this, Biden did that. I'm allowed to. His are going to far exceed anything we.

had ever seen ever. And by the way, I. will defend Biden's pardon to the end. He was exactly right to do what he did. because he knew who Donald Trump was and. he acted accordingly. >> Yeah. Well, you know, as as you note, Jordy, like yes, they are speaking. seemingly in English, but that's like. some Epstein class language. >> Yeah. >> That Ivanka and Jared are speaking to. Like those words I I know that those are. words that do exist. So, we were off the. coast in Montenegro and then there was.

a, you know, on on the Rothschild's. yacht. I'm like, what what what what. words? What's a lot of these videos that. come across your feed now? You got to do. these double takes and you're like, is. this AI? This must be AI. >> Just Greg, play the first 15. I'm gonna. I'm gonna move past this, but play the. first 15 seconds of Jared again or so. until Just play the first 15 seconds. I. was on a vacation after we left. government in the summer of 2021. We. were on our friend Nat Rothschild's. boat. Uh we got picked up in Montenegro.

and then we started sailing over to. Corfu and we spent a couple days in. Albania. One of the nights uh there, Prime Minister Rama came to the boat. I. had not met, right? It's ridiculous. I. mean, as I said, I was 2021. I had just. finished the government. I was on Net. Rothschild's boat and we were leaving. off the coast of Montenegro and we were. sailing and we passed Kaufu and then I. noted is that Albania right? I'm going. dude what what world is this? What are. you even talking about? And you know and.

dude most Americans right now are like I. yeah I want to be able to pay my rent. and these are the idiots right here who. are the reason that I can't. Yeah. And. it's Jared Kushner right now who's out. there speaking with the Iranians. And. what do you think they're talking about? Like Jared Kushner and the Iranians are. like, "Dude, what are they talking? They. want to do a real estate deal." You. know, could you imagine when foreign. minister Arachi has to actually go to. the Ayatollah and pass these ideas that. Steve Witco and Kushner are doing? like.

they're talking about like you know and. the Iranian side you know they're. thinking these conversations are going. to be about like real specific. meticulous details on nuclearra dilution. and multilateral mechanisms to ensure. IAEA compliant you know and the I told. like all right what do we got what do we. got what do we got um they want to. develop condominiums. in tyrron and they they're hoping that. we can fast track in 87.

And by the way, this isn't like a. hypothetical thing. This isn't like a. satirical thing. This is something that. actually happened. Like because this was. something that was buried at the bottom. of one of these New York Times stories. about the previous negotiations when. they're like, "It's about to get done, folks. This is it. This really going to. happen this time." You know, Lucy with. the football yet again. And there was a. quote, I pulled it up right here where. it said, "Steve Woodco and Jared Kushner. who have been integral uh well I I put. this part who have been integral to the. failed negotiations in the Iran war have. quote suggested promoting real estate. projects in Tyrron and an investment.

fund in the event that a deal is. reached." So that's their concern. And. so think about the room, right? You got. all these experts, nuclear experts, scientists, some of the most brilliant. minds in the world that Iranian has, right? to speak about this issue. And then you. have a bunch of real estate developers. who want to develop properties and lands. and condos and hotels and and and. they're asking the most basic of. questions that's making the Iranian. negotiators and the mediators going,

"What the are these people saying? one of these. >> you know and it's like yeah you know. it's like and Trump and Wickoff I mean. they think their strong armed real. estate tactics from you know from. Manhattan and Queens is going to like. you know somehow persuade the Ayatollah. come on man come on Ayatollah I scratch. your back you scratch my back Ayatollah. don't make me bring in don't make me. bring in Johnny from the Bronx Ayatollah. you know what I'm going to do to you. Ayatollah you know and they're like what.

who are who these are these are a. deranged group of people. And I'm. referring to the Trump negotiating team. They're all crazier than the next and. they make the freaking Iranian regime. negotiating team look like uh you know. like you know very professional crew. And by the way, you know who's praising the Iranian team. as like okay these are professional. highly Trump. Trump today. Let me just. give you the quick sequence of events. right here because as Brett says, like.

Ben, what you were saying, you were not. like making that up to be like funny. I. mean, maybe my tone and cadence. reflected a sarcasm, but I was actually. channeling what the actual discussions. were. And so today you have Iran and. Russia announce a 28 billion nuclear. agreement where they are going to work. on developing Iran's nuclear. capabilities. So what more of a fertive. aggressive move can you make if you're.

Putin and Iran when Donald Trump's like. we're going to get rid of the dust and. then Putin's like okay I raise you your. dust and I'm going to give $28 billion. commitments to Iran to develop their. nuclear material and to develop their. nuclear capability. Whether that's a. bluff or real, they announced that. Okay, pretty freaking aggressive, right? On the other hand, Donald Trump. announced today that he's afraid to give. Tommahawk missiles to Germany who were.

promised these tomahawk missiles because. he was scared that that may trigger. Putin who may be thinking that that's a. way to escalate in Ukraine. So, I'm just. trying to understand that. So Putin's. not a not afraid to announce a $28. billion nuclear agreement with Iran, but. Trump is afraid to give Tommahawk. missiles to Germany, who's buying it. with money [laughter] from American. military companies for defensive. purposes. So do do we see do we see.

what's going on right there? And then we. have Donald Trump do this weird Oval. Office presser, which I told you what it. was about earlier. It was over you. activating the defense production act to. lean in on and and invest more in open. up coal plants which were closed for. reasons um while shutting down green new. energy projects. Okay, which would which. are good for the economy and good for. the environment. But at this Donald. Trump said the Ayatollah has a great.

reputation here. Watch Donald Trump. He's got a good reputation in some. circles actually. here. Play this clip. >> person. But with that being said, he's. probably a prof. I don't know. He's. probably a professional. In some. circles, he has a very good reputation. Actually, you know, sometimes some. people say bad, but a lot of people say. bad about me. It's totally false. Of. course, >> you know, it's like two, it's like. stupid Tony Soprano over there, right? [laughter]. Like a stupid mob like like it's it's.

it's like the dumbest mob, you know? You. got like the you got like uh like what's. it called the I say the three stooges. but you got like the eight stooges. behind them you know and you've got like. the lieutenants I mean just look at the. people behind him you know I he's got a. very good reputation I hear I hear the. Ayatollah I know some things about the. Ayatollah now I'm not saying I want to. meet the Ayatollah but if I was to meet. the Ayatollah I would tell the Ayatollah. look I respect you my man okay I mean it.

it is it is the dumbest version of. Sopranos meets I I I can't even think of. the fictitious meets VEP meets Game of. Thrones meets the dumbest thing. imaginable, you know, while Donald. Trump's fall. He's got the crew. Just. just imagine this crew right here. This. one, >> just imagine them wearing Adidas. jumpsuits right there basically, right? And then Donald Trump's like, I don't. want to meet the Ayatollah, but if I. didn't want to meet him, I'd be honored. to meet him. I would tell you Ayatollah.

I'm It's an honor. It's an honor. Okay, here. play this clip. >> No, what we had to do. >> and we want to meet with the new. Ayatollah, the new Supreme Leader. >> I don't want to meet, but if if I did. meet, I'd be honored to meet him. I I'd. like to see if we make a deal, >> but if we make a deal, it's possible. that I would meet him. I'd be okay with. it. >> Would that happen here in the US White. House? >> Oh, I I haven't really heard too much. about it. It's I I didn't suggest it, but some people have suggested it. If it. happened, it would be happen. I'd be I'd.

be respectful. The only thing that may be effective. about this is just how psychotic it is. And it's not done in it's not like the. crazy Ivan intentionally psychotic. No. The the only way you can construe it. though, like if you're the CIA, you're. like, "Okay, well, the guy's we have a. guy who's so psychotic." And when these. messages are delivered back to the. Ayatollah through the chain of command. there, like I just I just truly have to.

wonder like. what they like what the reaction is. >> It's like when somebody like isn't. guilty [laughter] isn't ruled guilty by. a jury for a murder due to like the. insanity defense. The ITL is like, "All. right, well, you've he's this guy's. killed my whole family. [laughter]. He's killed a lot of people I know. Done. a lot of really effed up things." Uh, but he's like clearly seriously mentally. ill, right? Kind like this [laughter]. guy not not well. >> He's falling asleep in these meetings. And if you watch those videos, he has a.

death grip over his right hand that he's. desperately trying to cover up. And like. corporate media is in there just. pretending that like this is the face. and body of good health. This is the. oldest president we've ever had in this. country. He is actively falling asleep. during these meetings. The the images. are there. Sorry GOP Twitter account. He's not blinking. No matter how much. you want to gaslight us. And again, he. has a death grip over this right hand. because he is so embarrassed that he is.

literally decaying in front of our eyes. I mean, it's awful. And I'm not like. saying this to make light of it or make. jokes about it, but it's just where we. are as a society where this corporate. institutionalized media refuses to cover. this portion of someone's clearly ailing. and failing health. Not to be used as an. excuse downline. Look, there he is. falling asleep during this meeting. Like. literally lights out for the audio. listeners, eyes shut, laying like laying. down. >> But look at the guy behind me. Corporate. was just like I need to always talk.

about Biden's health. Biden's health. Biden's help, right? And I hate even. bringing it back there, but just here we. are in 2026. Donald Trump is literally. falling asleep in the Oval Office as he. has a death grip over his right hand. because it's rotting in front of our. eyes and no one in corporate media is. going to like raise their hand and be. like, "You okay? You good, bro?" You. know, the corporate media, >> what are we doing? >> I'll tell you what they're doing. They're too busy on the Rothschild's. yacht, leaving off the coast of.

Montenegro and sailing to Kurfu and then. seeing a new island in Albania and. saying, "Papa, could that one be mine, papa?" All right, I gotty. writing the book and it's going to be. out at the end of the term and it's. going to be on the president's health. It's going to be a sequel to the Biden. book. >> Sequel.

Benji, where to next? >> Why don't we go back to the Oval Office, though, just for one more moment over.

here? And I know Brett, you showed the. video. Um do we have uh you showed the. photo. Do we have video of Donald Trump. actually sleeping there? Um yeah, you. could see it there. And then each thing. he said was kind of more deranged than. the next at this press conference. Um, why don't we show you where when he was. actually saying things, he he didn't. realize that he's like, "Where's Chris?". Like Chris Wright was like right behind. him. Do [clears throat] we do we have. that video where he's like, "Where's.

Chris?" And it's like right there, man. He's right behind you. The he's the. energy secretary. >> Better man than me for that one. Not in. all ways. You feel that? But in one way, in energy, you know, and that was Chris, right? Where's Chris? >> Right here. >> Right behind you. He's a hard one to. find. And Chris has done a. >> What do you mean he's a hard one to. find? He's right behind you. Then he. starts saying things like, "Nobody's. allowed to fix their car anymore." Or. like, "I saved people who couldn't fix.

their cars and now you can fix cars. again." I I I truly don't even know. what's going on in this guy's mind. Here, let's play it. >> And the job he's done is great. We had. the auto industry in yesterday. They don't want people to fix their car. I said, "That's strange. I never heard. of that. They have a thing to Nobody's. allowed to fix their car." They gave a. man seven years in jail, actually, because he fixed his own car. So, I. thought we'd do something about that. But, we'll get we'll get it all.

straightened. Can you believe it? They. want a bill that prohibits people from. fixing. So, if you're mechanically. inclined, you know, I grew up I went to. school with some guys they will. >> Okay. Okay. Then he talks about the. Giants quarterback again, Jackson Dart, who introduced him at that weird MAGA. event and he got a lot of backlash from. other NFL players for doing it. And. here's what Trump has to say about. Jackson Dart. Let's play it. >> We had the quarterback, Jackson, was the. quarter is the quarterback for the.

Giants. He's a big strong guy. And I. said, "How do you think you do it in. women's sports, Jackson?" He said, "Pretty good, sir." [laughter] He didn't. know I was joking. He was not worried. So, let me put it. that way. He would have been the. greatest. athlete in the history of women's. sports. You got to see the size of this. guy. Like a male model and he's going to. be a great quarterback. >> Okay. >> Is he reading that? Is he reading that. off the p like it looks like he's like. legitimately reading a script for the. folks who are did you see like he was.

looking at the paper and also real quick. when he was looking for for Chris. It. reminded me of that Indiana moment when. he had the Indiana college football. team, the Hooers over there at the They. couldn't find Kurt Signi. He's like, "Where's Kurt? Where's Kurt?" And Kurt's. like right over his right to like all. the time. That. >> keeps happening. It keeps happening. He. he does it every day. And then also, I. mean, I I talked about this in some of. the hot takes. Like, who are these just. ghouls behind him who are like gremlin. humans? Like, they're creatures and they.

like they laugh at these things. Like. there's quite literally nothing funny. about like honestly if you were five. years old, you know, and you were like. like boys have peees and girls have. like I I'm just what are you like you're. grown men you and it's all it's all. mostly all men behind like what are you. what's the humor in that? >> It's legit like Dr. evil and Austin. Powers where they all like look at each. other and they're like [laughter]. so you've got that and then and so right.

>> and then perhaps even weirder you know. you had Magga Mike did a press. conference and he was being asked a lot. of questions like are you. >> just stopped that even weirder Mike. >> yeah Mike even weirder you know do do. you you know you're the speaker of the. house somehow Bill Py who's the head of. Fanny and Freddy for which he shouldn't. be. And he runs some obscure housing. agency that he's used to like anyone who. Trump hates he claims engages in.

mortgage fraud and then that these. people get criminally prosecuted by the. Trump regime. Now he's going to be. running ODNI, the office of the director. of national intelligence and get access. to all of this classified information. He's going to be the acting head of ODNI. when the statute literally says that you. passed the law. Congress passed a law. saying you have to have extensive. national security and intelligence. background to be nominated for this. So. even the nomination is a violation of. the law. So Magga Mike, what do you.

think? Well, but I want when you watch. this and you listen, I want you to watch. these ghouls behind him because it's. even worse than Magga Mike. Magga Mike, you'll hear'll be like, "If the. Democrats nominated Jesus, if we nominated Jesus, the Democrats. wouldn't want Jesus." What are you? You're nominating Jesus. Well, you're. nominating you're nominating some. You're nominating some real. crappy humans. It's not you're you're. not nominating Jesus. And then you'll. see that Congresswoman Mlan like she's a.

ghoul. She's a weird freaking human. And. she's like, and I'm watching. I'm like, who are. these? I'm like just who are these. humans? I'm what? Like I'm like, have I. I mean I go, have I lost my damn mind. that these people have positions of. power? These are like the most bizarre. and dangerous humans. Here, watch this. clip. Let's play it. Could you pass FISA. without Democrats? The answer, >> the Democrats wouldn't trust Jesus.

[laughter]. >> He hasn't been nominated. >> They're not. There's not a single. person. He hasn't been nominated. But do. you [laughter] do you I mean how do you. handle this if you can't get if you. can't have Democratic votes? >> Well, I look I they're playing political. games. Uh Jake, the the Democrats are. not willing to do anything even the most. simple basic important responsibility to. keep the American people safe because. they want to make life hard for the. president. This is another version of. what we said in the first half of the.

show about Montenegro and Kafu or Kafu. and Albania and the Rothschilds like. like I yes he's he's speaking the. language that I speak you know English. but they're they're laughing I don't. know what they're laughing at. I I truly. feel utterly detached. from whatever that whatever that. existence is. I if you're like me and. you're listening to this and you're. watching this, I just I hope you feel.

like who what I hope you don't think. that that's normal. I don't know. Can. >> I also tell you what would actually. happen here [laughter]. and under Magamike's uh Jesus scenario, if Republicans nominated Jesus, they. would deport him. Republicans would. deport him, calling him a middle middle. eastern radical. They would call him a. socialist for feeding the poor and. healing the sick. They would brand him. Jesus is the most woke. >> They would brand him a They would call. him a snowflake for loving thy neighbor. They'd call him woke. They call all the. names. That's what the Republicans would.

do if Jesus uh so happened to be a a a. candidate here. It wouldn't be the. Democrats who would be upset ironically. throughout all this. >> What are you What are you trans Jesus. man? You you you six genders, man. You're six. You got six genders. Jesus. >> Six. Six genders. >> You got six genders, Jesus. >> Do people know what's going on with. that, by the way? And I I I saw this. theory and it's 100% right. You know how. so Trump and the Republicans in Texas. like they have nothing to say about. Terico. So they just and and their. candidates's awful. So they just go. Tyler. He's got six genders. And what.

somebody put together online, which is. 100% true, is that Donald Trump heard. somebody say the word cisgender and say. that Terico is cisgender or something to. that effect. And Donald Trump heard six. genders. And so now anytime Donald Trump. speaks about Taler Rico, he goes, "He's. six gender. He's six gender." Because. he's done this before. Was there another. example? >> Asylum, Brett. Asylum. >> Oh, asylum. Oh, yeah. He he heard. somebody say uh im immigrants getting.

asylum and then he thought that meant. that they were being let out of insane. asylums. A lot of the stuff Trump says. is because like when it comes to things. like that, very stupid, very very dumb. guy. And but he repeats it with. confidence like he's this brilliant guy. And then he has all those people behind. him that Ben keeps pointing out who go, "Oh yes, sir. Asylum. Oh yes, six. genders. Oh yes, they are. They're. transing the mice. Let's print out the. signs. They're transing. >> What do you got, Talerie? You got you. got some soy coming out of your nipples, Terico. I'm like, ew, what are you.

talking? Have you heard what these guys. say? You got some he he produces some. soy out of those nipples. I'm like, okay, you guys are some I don't know. what goes on in your MAGA weirdo minds, but let me explain to you what's. happening in America right now. Okay, Americans can't afford rent. Americans. can't afford gas. Americans can't afford. groceries. Americans can't afford. anything. Americans have lost their. healthcare. You're ripping away Medicaid. from people. Americans are. psychologically tortured by all the crap.

you continue to overwhelm them with. every day. America Americans see the. genocide that this regime is complicit. in. They see these never-ending wars. taking place. They see all of this. happening and Americans are fed up. and. you're out there like like again I don't. even want to compare you to a bunch of. bully toddlers because they behave far. more mature than this. I'm trying to. think like when I went to elementary.

school and the biggest bullies and the. weirdest things that they said weren't. this weird and now we have grown-ups who. don't behave as grown-ups and it gets. normalized through oh well this is the. Republican party and this is the. Democrat and here's the polls. I'm like, we need to start with a kind of. threshold understanding that this Trump. MAGA thing is not normal. Like none of. this is none of this is is is normal or. should be acceptable discourse for.

grown-ups. Like that's to me the biggest. thing when I watch clip after clip after. clip of this. Anyway, that may that that. that that may just be me. You know that. I'll just I'll just show you I'll just. show you one more. And Trump's main. thing that he wants to talk about is uh. the prominade at the Lincoln Memorial. Like we're now we're doing Lincoln. Memorial prominods after reflecting. footballs, arches, ballrooms. Oh, let me. add this quickly. Guess who?

While Russia's bragging about a $28. billion nuclear deal with Iran. Pretty. big deal, huh? Like it's kind of like. giving Trump the middle finger. You have. Kel Demetri of Russia's envoy to the. United States announcing private public. partnerships between the US and Russia. to build tunnels. from Alaska to Russia. And you have the. head of Donald Trump stoogge from his. arts commission or whoever approves the.

ballroom and all of these things going. to the St. Petersburg economic. conference which is like Putin's version. to compete with Davos. It's like Putin's. thing of all the BRICS nations show up. So we had the ballroom guy show off. Donald Trump's ballroom to Putin and. everybody there. That's what. that's what was going on in the past 24. hours. You had Trump's lackey in Russia. showing off the ballroom to at the. Russian economic uh at Russian Economic.

Forum. But here's Donald Trump. >> While while Iran is cutting a nuclear. deal, >> Iran is cutting a $28 billion nuclear. deal with Russia while Russia is using. hypersonic missiles to kill dozens of. civilians in Kev. Um that that's. >> priorities. Trump had to show off his. ballroom. You know what? But let me show. you what he says about this Lincoln. memorial prominade. Again, this is the. language though. Like I get it. He is.

speaking the language of English. I. understand it. But it's like what we. need is a prominade and a link. prominade. kurfu. the Rothschild. like call me completely disconnected. from all of this crap. I I go I go what. what's what what's he saying? What what. did he what what did he just say? Does. that have anything to do with anything. that any American is experiencing right. now? No. No. Okay. Got it. Got it. Here's the clip. And we're doing. something that just came up. We'll have.

a little breaking news here because. nobody's heard of it. But at the Lincoln. Memorial, uh the front was supposed to. be the back. The back was supposed to be. in the front. It never got built because. they built two roadways behind it after. it was built and it shut off the uh. gateway to the water. That was really. going to be the main entry. And we're. going to be doing that. We're going to. It's called the prominade. Be the. prominant. They want to call it the. Trump prominade, but I don't know if I.

want to do that. But it's going to be. beautiful. It's a beautiful project and. it's going to take the Lincoln Memorial. right down to the PTOAC. Just I can't. get these sopranos. And now I know. people like it out of my mind, but. you've got his little gangsters behind. him. I'm going to build a prominade. Okay. They're going to call I'm not sure. I want to call it the the soprano. prominade. I'm going to call it the. Trump. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I. don't know. I don't know. What should. what should I do? Everyone's lives would. be so vastly improved if his parents.

just encouraged his love for decoration, for decorating uh when he was a kid. rather than this. Like I wish he pursued. a career in decoration. I wish he. pursued design something. You could even. >> literally anything else. >> Anything else? I would I would honestly. if if you said he would step down as. president and we're going to make him. the lead decorator of Washington DC, the. city. Let's do it. Sounds great. Decorate decorate away. The more I watch. those clips, I didn't pick this up on. the first watch, but now that we're. playing them here on the pot, it really. does look like he's reading from the.

papers, like even as he's trying to like. remember these stories. I I'm not trying. to dabble in conspiracies here, but like. when you watch him look down, like it. looks like he's like literally reading. off these papers. I see people in the. comments agreeing here, and it's just. it's pretty striking when you actually. watch this one. >> You know, I think his eyes are also. heavy in addition to that. So like it's. hard to tell. Is he looking down or his. eyes shut? is. >> they say that's also another symptom of. of like dementia. >> Yeah. Yeah. Like not sleeping a bad. thing asleep day and you're up at weird. hours at night. I mean it it fits all it.

fits all of that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Bragging about uh do Dr. Oz. the other day. He takes dementia tests. every day. He aces it all the time. He. aces it every day. He loves taking the. tests. He loves taking it. >> It'd be like it's like saying uh yeah. Jordan. Oh, he's a great guy. He passes. his sobriety test every day. Every day. he passes another sobriety test. I'm out. there bragging. I passed it with fly. I. walked a straight line. They said it was. the most straight line ever. >> Hey, at least his name's coming off the. Kennedy Center and they confirmed that. uh there's a leaked memo today that says.

it's h it's coming down. It's got to. come off of all of the various. merchandise that they have. It's it's. going to come off the building. They. have a deadline of June 12th, I believe, to get it off the building. Um and all. the letterheads and and and all of that. And so, uh I'm curious to see, do they. wait till the last day to do it or do. they do it before? Either way, I want to. see if we could get some cameras out. there and do a little live stream of it. coming down if we can. We will we will. we will see. I'll let you know if we if. we're able to pull that off. >> Yeah. Well, you know, Court of Appeals. Judge Ludig, who appears frequently on.

the Midas Touch Network and on Legal AF, um he gave us an exclusive comment about. how the federal judiciary is finally, uh. asserting itself and how, you know, the. federal judiciary, it took a while, but. is actually doing its job for the first. time. And I think we've seen and we've. been covering on legal AF and here um. some of these major orders uh that. here's what he said to us. Uh the. tectonic plates this is from Judge Ludik.

who's like he was like the this guy was. a federalist society guy. This guy was. the judge in the court of appeals who. like everybody worked for before the. kind of Trump MAGA movement if you were. going to become kind of like a. right-wing I don't want to say like. normal but like this was but this was. like the path there was like liberal. versions of him and he was like the. conservative guy but he's a conservative. guy who cares about the country and he. was he was like he's like George HW Bush. kind of conservative guy and his.

statement was the tectonic plates of. American politics have at last shifted. seemingly suddenly and overnight. But. these plates of America's politics have. actually been shifting inexurably and. indetectable every single day for the. past 18 months. There is no mistaking. that the federal judiciary, the federal. courts of the United States have brought. about this inevitable end to this. president's war on the federal. judiciary, the constitution, and the. rule of law in America and with it the. effective end to his presidency. It's.

powerful words by uh Judge Luding right. there. When I come back, when we come. back, I want to share with you uh some. of these congressional hearings and what. went down calling out Donald Trump's. cognitive and physical decline. We'll. share that with you. Uh we'll show you. just, you know, how these Trump sickants. are reacting to all of this and then. we'll talk briefly about this uh Trump. cancelling this uh this this concert. that was going to take place in in late. June. Also, Donald Trump wants to go to.

the Knicks game. He says he's going to. go to Madison Square Garden game three. >> Can you imag what what do you think the. cheer the chants are going to be? Is it. going to be Jeffrey Epstein? Jeffrey. Epstein. You think they're going to do a. Jeffrey Epstein chant in at the Mass? >> Let me tell you like the Knicks series. right now is like the one thing in my. life that's not politics related that. Trump has not infested and this. has to get a stink all over it. Like I.

thought I could cruise through this. series, just rooe on the Knicks and. watch some basketball and forget about. all this stuff. But of course, of. course. >> You think we get a lock him up chant or. a Jeffrey Epstein? Lock him up. Lock. what do you what do you think they do in. the garden? I think they may go lock him. up. >> I think it's going to be pretty vicious. >> I think it's going to be lock him up. >> It's gonna whatever. Maybe we do a poll, Brett, on our YouTube and we ask people. if he goes to game three, will the. chance be Jeffrey Epstein? Lock him up.

or then they could fill in. miscellaneous. Anyway, let's take our. last quick break of the show. Everybody. subscribe. Help us get to 7 million. subscribers.

Let's take our last quick break. You've heard us talk about One Skin. before. And whether you're someone who. tries every new skincare product that. hits the market, or you've been using. the same one or two things for years, at. some point, most of us realize our skin. just isn't keeping up the way it used. to. That's what One Skin changed for me. It didn't just make my existing routine. better. It actually works differently. than anything else I've tried. I've been.

using the One Skin face moisturizer, and. what stands out most is how my skin. feels day after day. It's smoother, more. hydrated, and it just looks healthier. overall. What surprised me is that the. improvement wasn't some overnight. miracle. It's been the consistency over. time. My skin simply looks and feels. better than it did before. And that's. something I've not experienced with most. skincare products. As we age, some skin. cells stop functioning the way they. should. Longevity scientists call them. zombie cells, and that's what's actually. driving those visible signs of aging.

One skin's OS1 peptide was specifically. engineered to address those cells. So, you're getting everything you expect. from great skin care with OS1 doing. something most skin care was never built. to do. And this isn't just my. experience. Once Skin's results are. backed by four peer-reviewed clinical. studies, over 10,000 five-star reviews, and they've been recognized by Bloomberg. as a leader in skin longevity. You. really don't need a complicated routine. to get healthier, younger looking skin. Born from over a decade of longevity.

research, One Skin's OS1 peptide is. proven to target visible signs of aging, helping you unlock your healthiest skin. now and as you age. For a limited time, try Oneskin with 15% off using code.

You know what's. easier than fixing a problem? Not having.

the problem in the first place. Your. liver is one of those organs that you. don't think about until you have to. Supporting it daily is one of those. small things that can make a huge. difference in how you feel overall. And. that's where dose comes in. Dose for. your liver is a clinically backed liver. health supplement. This isn't just. another capsule or powder. Dose is a. liquid supplement. It's taken in a daily. 2 oz shot and it tastes like. freshsqueezed orange juice. Here's why. it matters. Your liver is your body's. filter. It processes everything you. consume and handles over 500 plus daily.

functions. Energy production, digestion, fat metabolism, vitamin storage. When. your liver is overworked, you feel it. Dose helps cleanse the liver of unwanted. stressors that may be slowing your liver. down. And it promotes daily liver. function so that your liver can do its. job. Zero sugar, zero junk, zero. calories.

Trump better not. show up to MSG brothers. He just I. didn't get to speak right before break. He better not show up. He better not. He's we've waited our whole lives for. this moment. Plus, it's really not his. crowd. So, I'm like, New York hates it. Like, New York does not f with Trump the. way, you know, I he could he could waltz. his way into maybe some of these other, you know, stadiums or whatever and do.

the propaganda thing. It's not going to. be that type of reaction. I'm telling. you right now. So, it's like there's. nowhere to really hide, too, cuz like. the boxes at MSG aren't like really like. boxes from what I understand because. it's like an arena that does like heavy. music and all of that. So from like a. gameplay perspective, like if you're. there to actually see the game, like. you're out there with the people if you. want a good view. And I'm he's a coward. That's not his own his only hope, and I. shouldn't even suggest this, but like.

he'd have to wear like a Nick's hat, a. Knicks jersey, Nick shorts, which he. never he'd always wear a stupid suit, so. I'm not giving But you'd have to like. drape yourself. You'd have to be holding. two Nicks things. You'd you'd have to. baby put a sticker on you like big Nick. fan. >> As he comes out, they take out like a. World War II veteran. [laughter]. >> Yeah. You'd have to he'd have to be. holding Yeah. veterans wearing Nick. outfits, you know, 93. He'd have to be. in Yeah. He'd have to He'd have to be. wearing The only way he doesn't get.

booed is he'd have to be wearing an. entire Nick jersey, Nick hat, Nick fan. Uh it have the sticker would have to say. boo if you want the Knicks to lose, right? Then he'd have to then he'd have. to be holding hands with two 92year-old. World War II veterans also dressed in. Nick outfits with stickers that say only. boo if you want the Knicks to. Strategically. He'd have to create that. type of blockade against the booing if. he was hoping to negotiate a way out of. the a way out of the booing right here.

In any event, let's just get right to. the reality is is I think if he goes. it's going to be a disaster. I don't. want him there at all. I don't want him. anywhere at all. you know, just get that. stay the hell out of sports. Stay the. hell out of everything. And I just want. I just want grown-ups. I just want. adults. At any event, let's just talk. briefly about this open letter that. Zalinsky just uh published. I'll do a. whole other hot take on the letter. itself. Um, but I thought this line to. Putin, it's an open letter. And here's. what Zalinsky says to Putin. We have.

heard that you were promised in Alaska. the resolution of certain issues. concerning Ukraine and Europe, but you. can see for yourself that Ukrainian and. European issues are not decided in. Anchorage. It's powerful stuff right. there. and he's saying, "We now know. through our intelligence network that. Donald Trump promised you that he was. going to hand you Europe, the end of. NATO, Ukraine on a platter. Remember.

what we were saying back then what Trump. told Putin? We get the West, you get. Europe, China gets Asia, and then we can. kind of fight over, you know, we can. share Africa. We can share some of these. other but but that was basically that. was basically the deal. And Trump. doesn't care about Africa. Trump just. wants Western Hemisphere and control the. entire hemisphere and Greenland. Trump, we get Western Hemisphere, Greenland, you get Europe and and China, you get.

Asia and Africa and Russia. You can have. a little bit of Africa. That was the. deal. That's what they That's what they. discussed. There are other countries. though who have a say in this and that's. what Zalinsky is saying right there. I I. I want to go though to these. congressional hearings so you can see. for yourself what was going down. These. are some powerful hearings uh right. here. So, first let me show you from. earlier today, Treasury Secretary Scott. Bessant. He appeared before a House.

committee and I want you to watch as. Democratic Congress member Larson asked. him a very simple question. Are we. currently at war? Let's watch it. >> Are we at war? Every year under the. Biden administration, are we at war. currently? >> That the conflict has been halted. The conflict has been halted. Uh, so we're not at war. Special. military. >> So our military is not involved. We're. not at war. >> Again, if if you would like for me to.

call the secretary of war, I can ask. I'm the [clears throat] secretary. >> So as part of the administration and as. part of this, we're not at war. How in. God's name, if we can't answer any. questions at all, and I don't know, maybe there are some special orders. where we're not allowed to these these. questions or not. We ought to make that. clear. Are we at war or not? >> I'm asking as relation to the cost of. going up with for oil and gas that. hasn't risen. Has it risen because of.

the war? >> It did rise because of the conflict. Yes. >> Okay. Um and we all know by now that. there was the United States strikes on. Hermuz. Iran responded by striking in uh. Kuwait. The military air base and the. commercial airport are right next to. each other in Kuwait if you were. wondering like where where they're like. literally located in the same area. And.

we saw the international terminal. destroyed by Iran and we saw the air. base significantly damaged by Iran when. Sentcom claimed that didn't happen. They. said all they said all of the drones and. ballistic missiles were intercepted by. Kuwait, the United States and Bahrain. and nothing hit anything. And then. Sencom had to admit it. And so it's like. you just because the video surfaced and.

then it's like okay you're I've been. saying this for a while now. I think I. was early money on this. um that SenCom. I I remember three or four weeks ago I. was like I'll tell you what's really. upsetting me the fact that SenCom has. fallen you know and that Brad Cooper guy. Admiral Cooper I'm like gh ugh when I. saw that guy start to do the whole. magistic I'm like damn that's really bad. because I at least was hoping that.

Sencom can give us accurate data and. just think even right now they're still. covering up the slaughter of the little. elementary school girls in Manob like. they know the answer. Just think that. they're if they're covering that up and. they're covering up Epstein files. Just. think of what the the lengths to which. they'll go. Anyway, back to Bessant over. here. Some cross-examination by. Congresswoman Sanchez. We could play. this clip. >> Um, Mr. Secretary, do you believe that. all Americans should follow our tax.

laws? >> Yes, Congress. >> Yes. Good. So do I. And do you believe. that for those Americans who break our. tax laws, they should be audited or held. accountable? >> Well, I think there are two things. there. An audit is not a result of. breaking the law. >> Yes or no? Simple question. >> Well, no, it's not a simple question. It's let me break it into two. Do you. think. >> if you're asking me if you're asking me. a please answer that? I came here for.

answers. If you came here to waste time, I'm going to try to make sure you don't. do that. Do you believe that people who. lie on their tax returns should be. audited? >> Yes. >> Okay. Do you think that people who break. our laws should be held accountable, our. tax laws? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. Very simple. Not a hard. question. >> I'm glad we agree. So, why is it that. you are allowing President Trump to have. complete immunity from being audited? >> Again, I'm going to have to refer you to.

my previous statement. And. >> what was your previous statement, sir? that I am unable to comment on any of. the ongoing litigation. >> Okay. Can you name the ongoing case. concerning President Trump's immunity. from audit? >> Sorry. >> Can you name there there are three. cases. >> Can you name them please? >> That are out there now and I will be. happy to get them back get back to you. on those because again I am not a. lawyer. Wait represent. We are. represented by the DOJ. >> Right. You said that you can't because. there's ongoing litigation. you'll get.

me the name of the ongoing litigation. because the only ongoing litigation. that I know of is surrounding the 1.8. million slush fund which has already. been suspended. The fact is that the judge's ruling in. the litigation, >> I know Bessant probably is much more. comfortable on the Rothschild yacht. going to Kuru spotting islands in. Albania than answering very basic.

questions like that is is I'll I'll pray. give the commentary there. >> Commentary pictures two pictures of. Scott Besson. >> Yeah, just there it goes. I see bessent. and bessent. And then he's asked by Chu, not who? He's asked by Chu. Do you agree. with Trump that you also do not care. about America's financial situation? Let's play it. >> Do you agree with President Trump that. you also do not care about Americans.

financial situations? >> Congresswoman, who was the president. during World War I? >> Can you are you refusing to answer my. question? No, I'm asking who was the. president during World War I? >> I don't know. But clearly you are not. the president World War I was. But let. let me tell you. >> So I'm clearly getting the idea that you. do not want to answer. Why do you agree. with President Trump that you do not. care about Americans financial. situations? >> President Trump does care about.

Americans financial situations. Well, he. actually said that he doesn't. >> the no that that is a truncated thing. like everything is uh that he is futurep. proofing because I can tell you. Americans financial situations would be. the devastated if Iran got a nuclear. weapon and there was a permanent. permanent shutdown of the flow of energy. out of the Middle East. Americans. financial situation will be devastated. by this fictional scenario that I just. created here that we have saved you.

from. And so you're welcome. >> Just ask me a question. I'll be like, uh, >> hold on. What are these Epstein class. like words that he's futurep proofing? Like what like what is what is he. saying? What is he up there saying, Ben? >> Future proofing, Jordy, pretend you're a. Congress member and just like ask me. >> Ben, uh, President Trump says he doesn't. care about Americans financial uh, problems right now. Do you agree? Who. was the president during the. SpanishAmerican War? Uh, >> no sir, that's not the question I'm. asking. I'm asking you [laughter] to.

answer the question whether you believe. uh that Trump is right in his assertion. that he should not care about the. American people's financial status right. now. >> Name me the governor during the. California gold rush. That's like. [laughter]. a like I'm just I'm I'm struggling. What. What are we talking about? Like are we. doing Jeopardy? Are are you Ken. Jennings? Like but like and and like. they're seriously like you're there to. answer. >> It's truncated. It's a truncated. response. What are you talking about?

Like you're words, but Trump said the. whole thing with his chest. He said it. It was It was clear as day. Why? Like. why are you providing cover? I mean, I. know why why you are, but isn't it just. so pathetic that we see our political. leaders acting like this? >> I'll just give you this in all context. I'm going to show you that's Brook. Rollins cross-examination by uh. Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig who. says, "Do you understand like the. difference between error rates and fraud. in SNAP? Like do you know what your own.

numbers say? Because the SNAP program. has the least amount of fraud in it than. any program." And if you come to think. about it, like doesn't that make sense? costs like who's really out like you're. the fraud would be getting food stamps. in order to buy kind of like the bare. threshold of nutritious sustenance. So.

like who who's really going out there. and going, "Okay, [snorts] here's my scam. I'm going to try to buy apple juice and. I'm going to scam the government out of. some bread and a baloney and a piece of. baloney. Like I understand why in a. system like Medicaid. from not from the recipients of Medicaid.

from purported operators who are doing. fraudulent billing of Medicaid with fake. patients. Why in something like that. there would be fraud. H [clears throat]. who was involved in that? I don't know. MAGA Republican Senator Rick Scott was. the and people like who Donald Trump. pardoned who ran clinics and companies. that purportedly provided services to. lowincome Americans who then sought.

reimbursement at either excessive rates, duplicative rates or for phantom. patients. That's where you have a lot of. fraud and there's a lot of criminal. prosecution. That's why MAGA Republican. Senator Scott had to invoke the fifth. the way he did over and over again. And. that's why so many people were. convicted. And Trump has pardoned a lot. of Medicaid fraud people. It doesn't. usually happen though at the level of. somebody getting the health care. services because you're not getting a.

blank check to do to get it. It goes to. the provider. Now, if the provider. enters into a conspiracy with you and. then kicks you back the money that they. get, that's an elaborate scheme where. that that usually is not what's. happening at the patient level. Although. arguably that get but but most people. who receive Medicaid or Medicare or. other types of health care, they're. getting a surgery that needs to be done.

that's kind of verifiable if they got. the surgery or they got the treatment to. begin with. And so that's why the fraud. amounts are less for a SNAP recipient. But when Trump's idea of of waste, fraud, and abuse is actually let the. people who engage in waste, fraud, and. abuse off. That's why according to all. accounts, there's been 18% more waste, fraud, and abuse under Trump than the. year before. Doge has had the opposite.

effect, but go after the people who. really need the services and need the. food assistance and say that they're the. con artists, not the oligarch Epstein. class who are going to kuru and al and. taking Albanian islands while actually. defrauding the government. Here, watch. this clip of as Congresswoman Angie. Craig cross-examines Rollins. But uh we. are now it did go up almost 90% under. the Biden years. So uh even though we're.

we're hitting record numbers. >> Reclaiming my time. You are in power. You own this entire town. >> This is a conversation without being. reclaiming my time. >> Okay. I just ask you not to be so rude. I mean I'd really like to have a. legitimate conversation. >> Do you know what percentage of farmers. now say they can't afford fertilizer for. this year as a result of the president's. war in Iran? Well, it depends on the. geographic location. Southeast. >> 70% is the answer. >> Those are not the numbers. That's that's.

not correct. >> Madam Secretary, do you know what the. SNAP fraud rate actually is? According. to the most recent estimates from USDA, the fraud rate. >> Well, that is based on data we're. receiving from the states that we can't. verify. That's the whole point of this. is we have no ability to verify. California, Minnesota, where the fraud. has been. >> Reclaiming my time. It was one. 6% because Minnesota according to USDA. >> your state is saying we only have 1.6%. fraud rate which we all know is an.

absolute joke. >> I'll say it again. The USDA's own data. found 1.6%. >> I don't. understand the difference between error. rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. It is one of uh the lowest program. The. lowest fraud rate in any program in. America is the SNAP program. >> The lowest fraud rate of any program in. America is the SNAP program. >> You can't be serious when you say.

>> you can't you can't be serious. You. can't be serious. What do you think? There are just so many people going. around who are saying we need food. stamps so desperately so desperately. that we're going to commit fraud on the. government so that we can eat a peanut. butter and jelly sandwich. Let me put it. in perspective for a second. All right. Trump has pardoned people. He's commuted. people's sentences. Fraudsters who have. stolen tons and tons of money from. people. He's wiped out about $2 billion. in victim repayment money. Money that.

was going to go to the victims. Gone. not going to the victims because Donald. Trump pardoned these people or commuted. these people. Now, I want you to think. about the two billion dollar number. And. now, I want you to think about how much. SNAP costs, how much SNAP is per month. for an individual. I looked it up. The. average SNAP payment per person is about. $188. per month. So for $2 billion dollar of. payments that Donald Trump has wiped out. uh in fraud repayments, that right there.

alone could uh actually account for over. 10,638,297. people's SNAP payments. So yes, there is. a whole lot of fraud going on. The. fraudsters are the people in the White. House and they are going after the. people who are living off the crumbs. right now. And then they have the nerve. to attack them and not the people and. and then give these rewards actually to. the people who are committing this.

masscale fraud to the tune of billions. and billions of dollars. And then if I'll leave you with this, I. mean I've shown this clip before, but we. have to include it on a Midas Touch. episode. It's Congress member Ted Lou's. cross-examination. of Rubio where he literally shows the. video of Donald Trump sleeping and he. asks Rubio, "Is he sleeping?" And Rubio. goes, "No, that video doesn't show him. sleeping." And we all see him sleeping.

in the video. And. you you remember what Jordan, what what. was that thing where it was like where. where you'd like look at the dress and. some people would see like gold and then. >> blue dress the blue dress black dress. Was it the Yeah. Was it the golden white. or was it. >> never Some people saw this, some people. saw that. >> Like for me, >> I was at a Knicks game when that came. when that dropped. When that heater. dropped whenever that was I was at a.

Knicks game. So just bringing it full. circle. Sorry. >> Bring it full circle. But to me and and. it's not though that it's not that have. to be it's that you are denying the. reality. The reality is as we showed you. earlier Donald Trump slept today in the. Oval Office. He slept yesterday in the. Oval Office. Every single appearance he. falls asleep. Every one of every single. one now he falls asleep. Not closes his. eyes and you know just to rest him.

Okay, that's also called sleeping. Um, he is like in borderline REM sleep. I. mean, I'm not just saying this to be. hyperbolic. Oh, Donald Trump sleep. No, he's like literally sleeping. And that's. dangerous. And the world is looking at. it. The world is saying, man, you have. an ill. You you you have like a real. psychologically, cognitively, physically.

ill human being in the Oval Office who. is. delusional, who is. lives in an imaginary world, and he has. this cult that goes around and pretends. like this is normal. And they want to. bend our. collective reality into accepting this. and then they have a trillion dollar. media apparatus that beams this stuff.

and like norm and filters it through a. lens of like normaly and I'm like what. the hell is what do we do? What the. hell? So let's just watch this clip. together. You've seen it before. I have. to show it in this episode. Um, so. [snorts] let's just play it. >> If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at. these important meetings where the. cameras are rolling, imagine what he's. like when the cameras are not there. So,

I'm going to ask you, have you been at. classified meetings where Donald Trump. has fallen asleep or had trouble staying. awake? >> I've never been at any meeting where and. the things you're showing me now, he was. not falling asleep. And I think so. you're lying foreign affairs. representative to Congress about sleep. >> You're lying to Congress, Secretary. Rubio. So I'm going to show you another. video in a moment. The. >> Okay. And he shows the video of Donald. Trump sleeping that we all see. And then. Ruby. >> pulled the Ben. He said, "Play the clip.

He's not He's He's not He's not Do we. have the other one of Lou Brett? There's. the other one of him where he just shows. the where he shows the clip. I mean, there was that one, but then there's. another clip of of Lou. If we if we. >> Secretary Rubio, have you been at more. than one meeting. >> where President Trump has fallen asleep? >> That's false. That's false. I've never seen him fall. asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn't. sleep, which is a big problem because he. calls me at 2:00 in the morning. He. calls me at 5:00 in the morning. And you. know, I like to sleep a little bit. Maybe not 12 hours or but at least 6. So.

he works. The other day he was at the. Oval Office until 12:30 p.m. I 12:30. a.m. I don't know what you're talking. about. Cyber Rubio, I'm going to show. you in a moment a video that shows you. just lied to Congress. >> Oh, okay. >> So, this is a video of a cabinet meeting. literally from last month where Donald. Trump is sleeping while you are talking. Please show this video. >> Coalition of countries that line up. behind the peace deal, behind the border. peace, and it's still an every day is a. challenge, but it's been driven.

personally by the president. It's the. reason why we're involved in this whole. Ukraine Russia conflict. That's not our. war. It's not the president's war. This. war started. It never would have. happened if you'd been president. But. this war is going on and the president. is trying to end it. You are literally. talking about issues of war and peace. and Donald Trump is sleeping right next. to you. >> No, he's not. >> If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at. these important meetings where the. cameras are rolling, imagine what he's. like when the cameras are not there. So, I'm going to ask you, have you been at.

classified meetings where Donald Trump. has fallen asleep or had trouble staying. awake? >> Meeting I've never been at any meeting. where and the things you're showing me. now, he was not falling asleep. And and. I think. >> so. I'll I'll leave it at that. There. >> Rub. lying under Oh, okay. >> Oh, oh, okay. Oh, okay. Also, it dude. Rub, it's not the flex you think it is. when you say that Trump is calling you. at 2 am, 5 a.m. I mean, these are. symptoms of dementia when these are not.
