LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to MAJOR BREAKING NEWS - 7/30/26

We've got a lot to discuss on this. episode of the Midas Touch podcast. Donald Trump's approval hitting record. lows. Donald Trump even underwater. amongst non college white voters. Talk. about that. Even Alex Jones is saying. that Donald Trump needs to be impeached. immediately and the 25th amendment needs. to be invoked. Well, you have war. spreading everywhere. We have strikes on. a port in Egypt. We have attacks in Sana.

and Yemen. We have attacks by the United. States on Iran. Iran responding, attacking Bahrain and Kuwait and Jordan. You have US Saudi attacks in Iraq on. Iranian militias. You have. [clears throat] big strikes by Russia in. Kev. They hit a major weapons drone. depot recently as well. And a US. manufacturing. uh plant was hit in uh Ukraine. You've. got Ukraine hitting these wild berry.

logistical facilities in Russia, which. is like the Russia version of Amazon. You have Russian ballistics actually. going through Poland and one fell in. Poland's uh territorial region. Uh we'll. talk about that. On the domestic front, you still have Midas Touch host Katie. Fang pushing forward with her lawsuit. and preliminary injunction for the. release of the Epstein files. federal. judge reviewing some of those files in.

camera, meaning the judge is viewing it. with nobody else in the room. That. Katie Fang sued for the release of the. Epstein files. His nomination right now. is being stalled, at least as of this. recording. Well, I have no faith even in. these Republicans, John Cornin and Tom. Tillis, to ever do the right thing. because they never do the right thing. They're at least saying until there's a. written document voiding Trump's. settlement with the federal government. to give himself a super pardon regarding.

no tax audits, no criminal. investigations into his taxes going back. basically forever. They're not going to. agree to Todd Blanch. Donald Trump then. said, "Well, then I'm going to pull Todd. Blanch's nomination and we'll wait until. after the elections." That's how. important it is for Donald Trump. apparently that there's no written. document that says they're voiding the. settlement agreement. So, Blanch said. it, you know, in hearings and Blanch. said it uh DOJ officials said it to the.

federal judge. The loophole that Cornin. was able to expose during his question. of Blanch was that in order for you to. void the written [clears throat]. agreement between Trump and the federal. government, you need a written. instrument to overturn the written. settlement agreement. And so that's why. they don't want to put anything in. writing. Um, and that's been fully. exposed right now. So much so that Trump. will push the nomination, he says, until. after the midterms. But that just makes.

the midterms also an indictment on the. Epstein files and this level of. corruption. I think that's important to. note. Bad GDP numbers came in today. 1.5% annualized rate when the Trump. regime promised by now there would be 6%. growth. Of course, they're fraudsters. They lie about everything. One of the. big pushes this week is Dr. Fouchy. apparently. And then they had the. hearing with Dr. Fouchy and uh because. things are so bad right now in the. United States, our economy is being.

crushed by the uh unlawful and. catastrophic war in Iran, which is to. distract from the Epstein files that the. Trump regime now wants to distract with. talking about the pandemic again and and. again how bad things were then to. distract from how worse I don't know how. bad things are now. You'll you're. smarter than me. You tell me what the. what the plan is there. And then we. should be paying attention as well to. what's going on with FIFA where Giani. and Fontino working with the Kushners um.

and Trump trying to create a hold co a. parent company to sell off FIFA's World. Cup to private equity 20% to one of. Kushner's uh Kushner's brother's company. uh Thrive or whatever the hell it's. called. UEIFA, the European Football. League, KAKAF, the um other major uh. conference, they're all saying, "Well, we there won't be a World Cup if you do. that. We're boycotting it." So, the fact. that you have UEFA, Kanka all saying, "No, no more World Cup." It's like.

really Trump regime like you're. destroying everything and we got a. glimpse of happiness through all these. dark days of the World Cup. Not because. of a trumpet infantino, but because. football internationally or we call it. soccer in the United States bring people. together and they're like, "How do we. ruin this thing? Let's take it over with. private equity." And fortunately in, you. know, UEFA and Kunkov and these major. football associations are like, "Nope.". And that may now be the undoing of.

infantino. And hopefully this is a no. confidence and we get this sicko. [snorts]. the hell out of here. We got a lot to. discuss. Brett, how are you doing? So. much corruption, so little time, but. we're going to do our best to go through. it. Ben, it's good to see you. Ben, Jordy is not going to be with us. tonight. Jord's on daddy duty, but shout. out to Jordy. We know Jordy is fan. favorite here at Midas Touch. Um, you. know, things are bad as you said it, Ben, when they are trying to distract. from the Epstein files and the war to.

cover it up and the crashing economy by. directing everybody's attention to the. glory days of 2020 uh during the CO 19. pandemic. Ah, those wonderful years of. 2020 where we couldn't leave our homes, where everybody was scared of getting. sick and where we had a president. telling us to inject bleach. The good. old days. It really does frustrate me. though that it seems like so many even. in the kind of legacy media and people. who kind of consider themselves to be. kind of you know straight shooter I'm a.

moderate type people they kind of a lot. of people have just memoryholed how bad. CO truly was. I think the experience was. so traumatic for so many people and we. lost so many loved ones and so many. people are still living with the. consequences of the pandemic that I. think when there are moments of of such. extreme trauma people even as a kind of. coping mechanism and a survival. mechanism kind of try to memoryhole. things like that and I feel like we've. seen that and now you see I I feel like.

the Republicans and MAGA Donald Trump. they're trying to kind of use that. trauma that they created and the memory. hole that so many people have kind of. done with COVID now in order to exploit. that to distract from their endless. failures to distract from the Epstein. files to distract from the war high. prices. But, you know, like we said. about COVID back then, the reality hits. you, you know, at some point the reality. hits you hard. It cuts right through the. propaganda. And while Donald Trump could.

say that everything was okay, people saw. people dying every day. They saw they. were losing their family members. They. were getting sick. Today, people are. going to the grocery store. They're. seeing their prices are higher. They're. going to the gas station. They're seeing. they're paying more at the pump. They're. seeing that we're losing soldiers. overseas. You can only lie to people for. so long before it catches up to you. That's where we are right now in this. Trump regime. And that's why the bottom. is falling out again on Donald Trump's. approval rating. You know, I'm watching. some of this uh state regime news like.

Newsmax and Fox and I want to understand. like things are really bad. So like what. are they what are they doing? What are. they trying to push for their viewers, you know, as it's a dwindling and. dwindling base and I constantly see. myself or hear myself out loud saying. WTF? Like what what in the f is going. on? I mean, so you know, earlier today. you had MAGA Republican Senator Ron. Johnson from Wisconsin and he was like, you know, with Fouchy, one of the big.

issues, he fear-mongered with COVID just. like he fear-mongered with AIDS, you. know, AIDS and HIV. Well, he acted like. that was a big deal. He just wanted to. get on TV for AIDS and HIV. And I'm. like, what are you what what are you. saying? This is your platform going in. general? Who cares if it's going into. the midterms that AIDS and HIV also was. nothing was a nothing burger? What the. hell? Here, play this clip of Johnson. >> The injection injuries, the economic.

devastation, it never should have. happened, but it all happened because of. St. Fouchy fear-mongering, scaremongering, just like he did with. AIDS. If you remember that, you know, AIDS, it could be, you know, you know, household transmission. No, that's not. it. But he did that same way because he. wanted to get a vac. Again, he's a. vaccinologist. He he he admitted in. October 2019 in Milin Institute panel, >> right? And while the House of. Representatives is shut down, you've got. MAGA Republican Congress member John.

Maguire who's like you you all you all. remember the uh the human fetus burgers? You remember those? The human fetus BLT. sandwiches? Like, yeah. I'm like, what? The human fetus BLT sandwich? What are. you talking about? People are having. their health care ripped away. Trump and. Netanyahu are in a neverending war. People can't afford. You talk BLT fetus. burgers. In fact, what are you what what. are you saying here? Play this clip.

>> It's just it's crazy. I don't know if. you heard about the BLT sandwich using. uh human fetus baby parts. >> in the vaccine when they could have used. ivormectin. But. >> okay, I [laughter]. >> these people are freaking nuts. And and. I don't here's the thing I don't. understand, Ben. It's that there is so. many think pieces and so many so much. endless conversation like are the. Democrats too radical? Are the Democrats. weird? Are the Democrats crazy? Like. this is a constant refrain that you hear.

from people who write like op-eds in the. Washington Post and and you know. obviously people on Fox but people on. other mainstream kind of networks as. well. These Republicans are like the. most batshit crazy people. And I think. this is like such an op by all these. people in order to cover for just how. freaking nuts these people are. Ron. Johnson was one of the biggest. disinformation spreaders of the. pandemic. And he is specifically saying. stuff like that ironically accusing. Fouchy of wanting to get on TV so that. his clips get played on Fox so that his.

clips get played on TV and that they're. shared. That's why he's doing it. So it. is again another form of projection. And. also, did y'all notice Laura freaking. Ingram in the background? Speaking of. Fox, the the freaking drama, the drama. that we are seeing. You have Laura. Ingram in the background just making. faces at Dr. Fouchy the entire time, acting so distraught. Oh, woe is me. I'm.

Laura Ingram. And then there was this. moment where, you know, they had this. plan thing with one of the senators in. the hearing where he's like, "Now I want. to do something serious. I want. everybody in this room [laughter] to. stand up. If you feel like you were. ashamed by Dr. Fouchy, stand up. Stand. up now. Show yourself as if they're like. the Epstein survivors or something." And. then like Laura Ingram stands up looking. somber and all those people behind him.

who they had fill the the seats they end. up looking like somber like oh yeah Dr. Fouchy hurt me Dr. Fouchy. And meanwhile. it's the biggest gaslighting. You have. the people who were lying about the. pandemic who caused mass death accusing. the one guy who was just trying his. freaking best to figure this thing out. as it was evolving. Like it the whole. thing the whole scene is absolutely. crazy. And I would say give Laura Ingram. an Oscar, but this acting was really. shitty. I mean, give her maybe a RZY or.

something. This is just f acting. Terrible acting. Laura Ingram, shut up. >> What [laughter] does she make? $30. million or $45 million. >> She was shamed by Dr. >> Turn around. Turn around and face them. Laura Laura face them. Face them. Face. them. But look, we need to let's also. face reality. So with all of their crazy. behavior,

are they helping out the economy? You. know, they told us there would be 4% GDP. growth, 5% by now, actually by the end. of last year, they promised us all of. these things. So what's the reality? State regime media Fox, what was the. second quarter GDP? What did it come in. at? State regime media watch Fox. Business give their report. Let's play. it. >> in line with estimates. Let's get to. GDP. This is the first look we're. getting at second quarter GDP. Maria, the first read is 1.5%.

1 and a.5%. The estimate was a gain of. 2.1%. So, we're coming in a little bit. light on this first look at second. quarter uh GDP. >> And the markets go crazy. >> A little bit light. By the way, did you. see did you see that propaganda. technique? While it like in the uh you. know like in the drug commercials and. the prescription drug ads while they're. saying like you know this drug may cause. [clears throat] death, vomiting, diarrhea, they always have people like. frolicking in a park and they're like on. the beach and they're smiling and.

they're happy, right? You put the happy. visual with like the worst news ever. over it with the audio. That's what Fox. is doing right there. They're putting. the stock market being green and they're. making sure that that is full screen. while they're talking about something. completely different because they just. hope that their audience misses the. reality that the economy has slowed to a. crawl when these Trump officials for the. past few years keep saying 6% growth. It's coming next year. It's coming right. around the bend, right? I mean, the fact. that Trump is judged by a participation.

trophy, if Biden had these numbers, I. mean, you would see the markets crash. and things would be absolutely. um, you know, horrible, but like you get. a very horrible GDP printout right. there, objectively like bad, right? Especially relative to the promises that. they were making. And then the market. manipulation is just so crazy. All. right, we're not negative. We're not. negative. It's a good day every We. haven't yet bombed Iran today. Even.

though if you look at what's going on, Saudi Arabia did bomb the Houthis and. the Houthis say that they will be. charging tolls in the Babel Mandab. Strait. And we're not really sure what. happened in Egypt anymore. Iran's. blaming it on Netanyahu trying to do a. false flag. We believed it was Iran that. was striking this Damiata port in Egypt, but now Iran is saying that it was. Israel. Whatever. But we we know that it. was struck. um by a drone. We have we. have footage of it being struck, but the. market's like, "All right, okay, okay.

Should we manipulate this one today?". You know, Trump creates the dips from. like that. And then it's like, "Buy his. own dips, everybody. It's it's. ridiculous." Um, so what else is going. on? You've got Bessant, Treasury. Secretary. Let's talk about what he. previously said, just so we have the. receipts. This was Treasury Secretary. Bessant. This was what he was saying. December 3rd, 2025. This was his uh prediction for GDP. growth. Let's play. >> So I I think we could be at 4%.

inflation. Excuse me, 4% real growth and. then inflation trending back towards. targeted two. So 6% nominal growth. >> Question. >> Okay. Well, not true. Although he got. the inflation part right. >> Yeah, he got it right the first time. >> He nailed it the first time with the. Fidian. What about Kevin Hasset July. 1st, 2026? What do you predict, Hasset? Let's play it. year we're cruising at. about three and again I expect the. second half will cruise about four. >> 4% growth in the second half.

>> That's right. Yeah. >> Embarrassing. Even even Bar Romo's like. uh 4% growth. Okay. Okay. You know, but. she goes along with it. I mean she's an. Ingraim also. Then you've got Lutnik. He. goes on CNBC which has basically become. a Trump propaganda network with a lot of. their hosts. Not all them. They got some. good hose. And this is what Lutnik said. September 11th, 2025, what he said about. the first quarter. Let's play it. >> So now everybody knows their tariff,

right? So now you're going to see. factories built in America at a scale. that you have never seen before. Okay? 10 more than 10 trillion dollars of. factory builds coming. All right? And so. there's huge amount of construction. jobs. So I would say the first quarter. of next year will be the best quarter of. construction jobs this country's ever. seen. And that's going to roll all the. way through 26. So I think you're going. to see GDP growth next year over 4%. >> You do 4% 10 trillion over what period.

of time? Secretary. >> Mr. Donald J. Trump the president of the. United States during his term. >> Okay. And the way he Mr. Donald J. Dude, that is Bernie Maidoff nuclear version. Like right. >> con artists. >> the worst. Here, I'll just show you one. other clip of Lutnick before we get back. into it. This was him on the allin. This. is like the finance bro all in. >> Yeah. If you want to know what's really. happening with the markets, watch the. Allin podcast.

Let's go all in, everybody. the and then. and then he also does the creepy Lutnik. voice from the Epstein Files voice where. he said that there was no um you know. that he never visited Epstein Island and. he and it's the same no you know where. he was asked about it like did you ever. go and see him after that first visit he. was disgusting of course I didn't he was. gross okay but now we learned you were. there with your children exactly that. makes it worse I never said you said you. weren't there after you saw him one time.

and I never said, "I didn't go there. with my kids." Yeah, it went worse than. you going there is you with your kids is. double bad. I I I don't see it that way. >> I know they don't believe in pronouns, but. >> this this is what he says about GDP. about on this all-in podcast that he'd. said last year. Let's play it. >> Fives. You're going to see fives in the. greatest economy in the world. you're. going to see fives.

and people think you can't you can't. >> 5% GDP on a base this big is just it's. >> we have a $30 trillion so 5% is 1.5. trillion in growth and if we cut rates. you'll see sixes. and people do not would never before. Donald Trump walked into that office. they would don't think that's possible. and what's six mean. >> let's just put six in. >> yeah I'll put it in context your liars, your frauds, your con artist. I'll put.

it in perfect context right there for. you. >> I could smell the cigarettes off his. breath, but this the way he speaks, gang. >> A few a few observations. Number one, there's something about these guys also. in wearing shoes that don't fit them. Like, [laughter] like if you just look. at it just looks like their shoes don't. fit. I know it's a stupid observation. >> Well, there's the thing where Trump. bought him the shoes with the guessing. their size. them shoes and and that are. a size bigger on in purpose to make them. feel that they can't fit into the size. of their shoes and that they'll wear. shoes that don't fit them. But also,

they don't they mix up all of their. fraud schemes, right? Because didn't. they say they brought in $19.2 trillion. also? So, they're saying that the GDP. growth from $1.5 trillion additional. dollars would net us a 5 to6% GDP. growth. Well, Donald Trump said that. he's brought in $19.2 trillion. So, based on that analysis, shouldn't our. GDP growth have actually been 70. 70%.

70. 75 if they lower interest rates of 75%. growth because that's essentially what. it would be if you brought in $19.2. trillion. All right, let's take our. first quick break of the show. A. reminder, we all. >> Can I be honest about this Latin guy? I'll be honest. I don't trust him. I. think that he may be a liar. I don't. trust him. W Everybody get your copy of. WTF America.

One thing I've. definitely noticed as I've gotten older. is that you wake up one day, look in the. mirror, and think, "What's going on? Why. do I look like this?"

your pre-order right now of WTF America. I very frequently wake up in the morning. and think in the afternoon and think. before I go to sleep. WTF America. But. there is a way out of this hell and it. is a generational project that we all. need to engage in. So, Donald Trump held. a WTF press conference earlier today. where one would hope the. commanderin-chief, though we have a.

commander and thief. [snorts] You would hope that he would. discuss what the hell seriously what the. hell's happening, you know, with this. war. I mean, I'll show you right and and. the wars across the world right now. I. mean, just to show you a little bit of. what's kind of going on right now, uh. this is some of the video coming in from. Egypt as you have a drone striking the. Damiata port right there. Let me show. you this uh this this footage. Let's. play it.

Okay, I'll direct our attention right. now to Russia's war against Ukraine. I'll show you Penza in Russia where a. wild berries factory, that's the.

logistical facilities, like it's their. Amazon. There's like 20 of them in. Russia and like 10 or 11 of them have. been destroyed at this point by uh. Ukrainian drones. Those long range FP1. and FP2s. Let me show you Penza right. here so you can see it. Let's play it. A Russia striking in Lviv, Western.

Ukraine. And as part of these Russian. strikes, they also struck or there was. an area in eastern Poland where a. ballistic missile landed and these. sirens over Lublin, which is in eastern. Poland, were going off. Zalinsky was in. Lublin. yesterday uh in Poland. First, let me. show you Leviv. This is Ukraine. Let me. show you just so we could all see it. Let's play it.

What? >> Also today in Kev, there was a uh US. manufacturing plant that was hit by. Russia um and intentionally targeted uh. by Russia. Right there. Get you the. >> say makes for a great audio podcast. A Russian ballistic missile destroyed a. Kev drone factory owned by a US.

registered company terminal autonomy. marking the first known Russian strike. on a US-owned company in Ukraine. potential. I mean there were other one. remember there was like candy factories. and other factories but this is the. first you know US-owned weapons company. The factory produced AI guided attack. drones. No one was reported killed but. you know this this this war is. spreading. Notably, when I heard about. the Lublin attack, you know, Poland's. response was.

very reminiscent of what the Arab nation. responses are when the drones strike or. the ballistic missiles from Iran strike. these bases, right? What is what are. they? It's always the interceptors were. always 100% effective and then if there. were damage, it was the like drone. residue or the you know, whatever the. debris. It's the debris. They say the. debris hit it and it's like, "Okay, stop. the debris." Yeah, it becomes debris. once it hits and it becomes debris, but. the drone or the ballistic missiles is.

not debris before it hits. So, I wasn't. I'm not trying to get conspiratorial. I. I just think that Poland knows that if. it invokes article five or even article. four, which is consultation, article 5. is the mutual defense pack of NATO, that. the United States isn't going to abide. by it. I think Russia wants to test the. resolve of NATO. Will they invoke. Article Five and that's why Poland's. pretending that, you know, look, fortunately, it didn't um kill anybody. as far as we know. Um and it did just.

kind of hit an open area, but you know, I I think it's being downplayed. personally. So any event with with all. of this taking place by the as it. relates to the Egypt strike in Damiata. right now Iran through both MBalibaf and. Arachi are saying this is actually. Israel that did it false flag from. Israel in order to try to blame us to. draw Egypt in um in a in a bigger way. It's conflicting reporting there but I. want to give you at least the latest of.

what they're saying uh in Iran. But in. any event, like, and by the way, Netanyahu is in the United States right. now with Hegsith. And so, like, Netanyahu stayed. >> He's like, yeah, he's like parked. himself here. Like, he he was supposed. to be in and out, but he's like, "Nah, I'm just going to stay." Because I think. he realizes that he's going to have a. lot more influence face to face with a. Hexith, with a Trump by being here. And. he could actually dictate the terms of. the war. Because, you know, I think what. Netanyahu is is acutely aware of is. something that we've kind of known about.

Donald Trump for a while is that oftent. times his opinion and his actions are. based on the last person he spoke to. And so I think Netanyahu knows well I. could speak to him on the phone and. probably persuade him to increase a. bombing campaign or do something, but. then if somebody comes in the room right. after I do the phone call, what was. that? >> NBS or NBS's brother. >> Yeah. Then then they say, "Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill." And they're that. that is going to be what sticks with. them. But if I'm there, if I'm always. around, then I'm going to be able to.

kind of get around that. I'm going to be. able to tell Donald Trump exactly what. needs to be done here. >> That's why NBS sent his brother. yesterday also to the Did you notice. that? That I mean, and it's like, well, why would you personally you can't just. pick up the phone? No, because Netanyahu. is not leaving. So that's why NBS sent. his brother to the United who happens to. be the uh defense secretary and the the. Arab nations are run like the United. States. It's like the brothers and the. sons. >> I was gonna say it so sound familiar, >> you know. [laughter] So So the brother.

shows up and speaks with Kushner who. tries to take over FIFA. We'll get we'll get to that one in a. moment. But any event, look, so so Trump. is asked a qu you know you know he's at. this press conference. He did this like. anti-immigrant press conference where. immigrants can't be truckers because. they don't speak the language is what he. says. >> Midterm guys at the time they're were. bringing out the greatest hits. >> Bringing out the greatest hits. You. can't have immigrants as truckers. It's. got to be veterans. Like why can't it be. both? Why can't veterans be truckers and.

why can't immigrants be don't let's. let's be let's it has to be one or the. other for Trump. It's always a zero sum. game, right? But in any event, he's. asked I'll show you him like running. away like where he's asked the question, you know, uh, so we going to be in this. war forever like what's the status here? Let's let's play that clip if we got it. >> Very much. Bye. Thank you. [cheering]. >> So, you know, if you heard the. questions, the questions are how long.

are we going to be in Iraq? How much. Iran or Iraq? I should me I could say. it's a Freudian slip but it isn't. because the US and Saudi Arabia struck. in Iraq and it should also be noted that. the US basically controls the Iraqi army. at the I mean through the funding but. then you have an Iranian militia. embedded within the army um which is who. the US and Saudi Arabia struck and they. killed IRGC people and so you have this. the short of it is you have this massive. regional war and Brett do you remember. growing up when the type of footage that.

we're showing though there you know the. strike at Damiata the strikes in, you. know, Russia, the Russia strikes in. Leiv, like when we grew up, war was. covered, you know, and it was ugly some. kind of non-stop. >> non-stop. You'd have the people there. with the hats the same way they covered. weather event, you know, and we'd we'd. get the information and now you have. Sencom out there publishing things like. um the straight of her. Do we have this. post of SenCom? I mean, just so people. can see how ridiculous it is. Sencom,

it's a social media post, but SenCom was. doing it's like true false. And the. false is the IRGC says it's dangerous to. go through the straight of Hormuz. because the IRGC will potentially shoot. your tanker if you use the Oman route. and they have that as false. Not that. Not that one. Not that one. Just keep. going. Just keep shuffling. Not that. one. Not that one. Not that one. Not. that one. Not that one. Yeah. That one. Not that one. Not that one. Not. that one. Not that one. Not that one. Not that one. Not that one. Not that.

one. Not that one. [laughter]. Not that one. It's one. It's one of. them. But it it's the SenCom graphic. that you But we'll show later. Um and. then the Sencom also says US strikes did. not hit. um or that Iranian strikes did not hear. that did not hit um certain air bases. Muafik, Salty in Jordan, um Fisizel in. Kuwait. And it's like we have the. surveillance, we have the satellite. footage, like we know, we know these.

bases were hit. Um, you know, and it. appears that the F-35s were hit. It. appears, you know, that these hangers. were indeed hit. There it goes. 17th. time is a charm. >> That's a big bro. >> This just how you know this how Sen This. is how Sencom has zero credibility. And. it's sad to say this, right? This is. what SenCom says. First claim by Iran. False. The IRGC again claims free and. open routes through the straight of. Hormuz are dangerous for commercial.

vessels. False fact. The immediate. dangers posed to commercial vessels and. their civilian crews are the IRGC's. verbal threats and attempted attacks. Well, first off, that's a threat. Okay. Second, they've they've knocked out like. dozens of tankers that we've seen. So, if you're gonna start off and say that. it's false, that it is a false claim for.

the IRGC say that going through the. straight of Hormuz is not safe. I don't. need to read on anymore. You're just. Trump fraudy level and that's what sent. It's sad. >> I think we should send Trump through. I. think Trump should go through. It's. safe. It's a sh everybody lead by. example. Let's send him to the straight. of hormuz. Brett a Qatari LNG tanker to. I just want to tell people the the. facts. A Qatari LNG tanker right because Qar is.

suffering right now. They're struggling. Uh I mean not suffering like you know I. think American people are suffering more. but but Qar is struggling. Qatar sent. its first shipment of liqufied natural. gas through the straight of Hermuz in. weeks using the Iran designated shipping. corridor. They negotiated this with. Pakistan. This is interesting because. before they were trying to use the route. closest to Oman and what was happening. there, someone's at the live right now. [laughter].

Um I I'll go check it out in a second. But but we had um what would happen to. those tankers? They would be shot. They. would be hit hard, right? And so now. they're using the other route. So like. we need to focus on the facts. So now. when you tell me the casualty number is. whatever and you tell me the you know. the killed in action. I don't believe. anything you're saying. This is Sencom. If you can't agree right now that at a.

bare minimum the straight of Hormuz is. dangerous. If you think that's then then. then it's just enough. Everything you're. saying is false. And Brett, we have a. war and wars involving the world right. now. It's deeply problematic. What do. you make of it all? I think it's deeply. problematic and I think it goes against. everything that Donald Trump has said. from the beginning of since before his. term. I mean he like his big promises. Think about every single promise Donald. Trump made that everything was going to. become affordable in day one. Prices. were going to be cut in half. Your. electricity bill was going to be cut in.

half. Uh the war in Ukraine was going to. end within 24 hours. Uh there was going. to be no new wars. Uh the Epstein files. would be released. Like you go through. every single aspect of all of Donald. Trump's promises and he's failed on. every single one of them. And not only. failed, but he's made all of these. things worse by his own doing. And you. know what Justin Wolfers when we had him. on our chief economist here at Midas. Touch who's uh we're working with his. platypus economics he's doing you know. >> platypus he's doing amazing work um I.

mean he's brilliant Justin and you know. Justin what really stuck with me from. the last time you guys uh did a hot take. together was he was saying you know. normally I you know nine times out of 10. or you know 99 times out of a hundred uh. you know the economy really isn't. attributed to the president you himself. like he is maybe one piece of a larger. puzzle. But this time you could you. could definitively say that Donald Trump. is to blame for all the chaos that we're. seeing right now. You could trace. everything back to his war, to his.

tariffs, to his coercive actions, everything right now stems from one man. All the global chaos, everything that. we're seeing indisputably so, right? You. take a look also what's going on. in. Iran's army before we went live says it. struck the US Shake Issa air base in. Bahrain with attack drones targeting. power generators, navigation systems, and support buildings. It claims the. strikes cause significant damage to US. military capabilities in the region.

It's striking these US bases with out. much resistance at this point because. the US interceptors. have been depleted. the PAC threes and. the THAAD. They're different systems. They're acronyms and and the PACs are. the Patriots. The THAAD is like has a. whole long acronym, but the THAADS are. 12.5 million each. Okay? And what Iran. would do is it would send its shahi. drones or even decoy ballistics and it.

would have three of these THADs would. shoot up and it was like even if they. struck the ballistic of Iran or the. Shahid that was a big win for Iran cuz. it's like you just spent $50 million on. our $25,000 $50,000. >> It's asymmetrical warfare and it's what. we it's what everybody's warned about. It's why Ukraine has been able to do so. well going up against Russia because. they've been employing the same. strategies um in in so many ways except.

>> ballistics. >> Yes, >> Ukraine needs the interceptors for they. they don't have any capability on their. own because that's what Patriots are. supposed to be used for are the. ballistics. Now they say we need. immediately. I'm concerned. I really. have a deep I know there's a prevailing. narrative of Ukraine is, you know, is is. is hitting all of these things. They. are. They are. But what concerns me is. also what the prime minister of Poland.

said today. The next one, this is what. he said. The next 100 days are going to. be decisive and determine the course of. the war. And it depends on Donald Trump. and Elon Musk. Okay, that is a. concerning stake. When I look at that, I. go red flag. that that's a worrisome. concept to me, you know, and I don't. trust Donald Trump pretending that he. may give Zalinsky things. To me, it's. all part of Trump's manipulation where. this doesn't work. That doesn't work. So, now you kind of lovebomb. I'll lure.

someone in. I'll say I'm going to give. you the Patriots, but then what does he. do? I I I mean, this is my opinion. Then. he calls up Putin. I'm sure I'm giving. you my opinion. And says, "Hey, you know. what? You know what we talked about?". To me, that is a more likely scenario. than Donald Trump helping. One more. thing, Brett, and I'm sorry I'm. blabbering. You know, even that that. Lindsey Graham legislation, the. sanctions for Russia. I saw some people. say, "Well, the de there's some. Democrats who aren't supporting. sanctions on Russia." And they give the. list. What the hell is wrong with these.

people? If you actually read the. legislation, it gives Trump the. discretion to decide if he's going to. impose the sanction, which he already. has now. And what it does also is if. Trump claims that you could be aiding. and embedding Russia in his own mind, he. could tariff you or sanction you while. not sanctioning Russia. So Trump has the. power if he wants to to do what the. legislation, but the legislation makes. it discretionary. So the people who.

didn't vote for it, it's not that they. didn't want sanctions on Russia. It's. that they didn't trust anything that. gives Trump the discretion on his own. and opens up a path for Trump to do more. tariffs, which is a more likely scenario. than sanction. That was the issue with. that. And have you guys seen the reporting. also about this uh Trump erupting in the. in meetings with his own aids about. these wars? I mean, to me, this is. probably the most concerning kind of.

piece of evidence that we have about. this whole war. And frankly, it confirms. everything we've been reporting that. Donald Trump is indeed panicking about. this war. Donald Trump is panicking. behind the scenes. He may get up to the. cameras and he may say, "We're going to. beat the FNS out of them." Or, you know, whatever he's telling Fox, Trey Inst at. Fox, right? He may try to act like a. tough guy, but behind the scenes, he's. rudderless. Behind the scenes, he. doesn't know what the hell to do. And. behind the scenes, all of his aids have. disagreements with the approach. And. it's a very precarious situation that.

we're finding ourselves in right now. You have General Dan Kaine, Raisin Kane, who Donald Trump calls him. He has one. kind of view of the war. There's the. Admiral Cooper guy who heads Sentcom. He. has a different view of the war. Uh. Kaine has been very worried according to. this NBC news reporting about the. dwindling amount of interceptors and and. and Patriot missiles that the United. States has. Even though Trump every time. he gets on his social media app and. stuff goes, "We have infinite we have. unlimited amount." It's like a video.

game. We have unlimited amounts of. interceptors. Well, Kaine is like trying. to tell Trump like we are running out. fast. Like this is not a good situation. right now for us to be in. And that's. leaving our troops in great harm in the. region. And then you have Cooper just. trying kind of trying to get a word in. with Trump. Apparently, he's not even. speaking to Trump all that much. And you. have Trump freaking out. The official. who was giving who was the source, one. of the officials who was one of the. sources in this piece described Donald. Trump as exasperated. Exasperated. They said that he erupted.

during the meeting on his aids. He. doesn't know what to do. He does. He is. incredibly frustrated. He's his back is. against the wall. He really in his heart. of hearts apparently believed that he. would be in at this and out of this and. that everything would go great and he. would be fine and he'd be able to topple. this regime. And now he is living the. reality of what everybody warned him. And he's still trying to gaslight his. way out of it. But this is how you know.

that he really does know the truth. The. fact that you are actually getting this. reporting that yes, he is panicking. behind the scenes. Yes, he is screaming. at all of his aids behind the scenes. Yes, he doesn't know what the f to do. right now. And that's why he's lashing. out to Fox reporters going, "I'm gonna. beat the fing out of him because he. doesn't know what to do at this point.". Well, that's why I say he's panicking. Oh, how do you know he's panicking? I. know. Obviously, that's why he says I'm. beating the effing out of you. We'll. talk about that and more when we come. back. Also, updates on Todd Blanch. A. new poll from Fox State Regime Media.

shows Dame James Talerico up three. You. add that to some of the other polling of. the United States Senate, whether it's. Osaf ahead, whether it's Sherid Brown. that's ahead.

them for supporting the show. Support. our sponsors. You know. what what says panic more than. uh giving a phone call to state regime. media? Fox and telling him, "Here's what. I want you to put out. Here's what I. say. I'm going to blow the FNS out of. them. I'm going to blow the FNS out of. them." You're calling up Fox going on.

the record. Is it like I'm background or. off the record? You're on the record. with a media and regime media like they. can package this for you in a way that's. regime Donald Trump says that whatever. No, I mean this is the message that you. want out there on your regime media. Here, let's play it. >> President Trump tells Fox News about. Iran, "We are going to beat the effing s. out of them." He went on to say, "We'll.

be hitting them hard. They're going to. get a beating." So clearly, the United. States is going to respond to what the. president described as a surprise. attack. He says US forces. >> just think about and and by the way the. surprise attack framing you know I think. and I apologize if I even went surprise. attack and perhaps could have been a. little more nuanced with it. It's. surprise in the sense that usually the. pattern is Trump strikes, Iran responds,

then we see then Trump claims fake deal. and then Trump strikes and then Iran. strikes. So this was Trump strikes, Iran. strikes, and then Iran strikes. So it. had a, you know, perfect fifth, perfect. fifth, perfect fourth, perfect third, you know, it had a little that was from. my my class. It added a perfect third. It had a little bit of a it had [snorts]. a little bit of a different rhythm, you. know, to the normal kind of back and. forth strikes. But the reality is is.

that Trump's doing fake negotiations. So. why if Iran has a target of opportunity. and it sees a radar or this or that way, you know, it's it's going to it's going. to go by Donald Trump's deranged views. of like, you know, like. >> I guess Trump's just counting on like, you know, if he doesn't do anything, they won't do anything. It's like you're. still in a war. You violated theou and. theou isn't a thing anymore and so. you're in active war. And you know, this. was one of the big disputes in that NBC. uh news story that I was talking about. um that was talking about Dan Kaine and.

was and I was speaking about Admiral. Cooper the who who leads Sentcom and and. one of the you know Cooper was saying is. that you know he's starting to think. that these limited strikes that we're. doing aren't really doing much. There. have also been US officials who have. been saying uh you know telling the. press that uh exactly what we've been. warning about from before these strikes. even began all these kind of tifft. strikes that the more Donald Trump does. these things the more he's actually. going to make it more difficult to.

achieve his objectives in this war. whatever the hell those objectives even. are at this point aside from opening the. straight of Hormuz because all he's. doing is he's strengthening the regime. and he's building support behind the. regime and he's really not doing any. damage damage to the regime, but he is. killing civilians, which is only. hardening the power of the Iranian. regime and is also bringing the people. in Iran closer to the regime. So. everything that they're doing is. actually having uh is actually having. the opposite of effect. And one of the. conclusions, unfortunately, that it. seems like Admiral Cooper drew from all.

this is that that's probably because. we're not hitting them hard enough. We. got to we got to bomb them harder. If. only we now bomb if we did I'm telling. you Donald if we did one big massive. bombing campaign for a week that we. would end this. And that's just not. going to happen. I don't think there's. ever been an instance in history ever. ever in history where an airbombing. campaign alone wins a war. It's never. happened before. It's not going to. happen here. And I don't know why they. keep thinking that they could bomb their.

way out of this situation. Well, even. their strikes yesterday in Keshum. apparently killed uh a family over. there, you know, an innocent family. You. have MB Galab making a social media post. uh before talking about look you just. killed another innocent family in Keshum. and you are Brett to your point I mean. constantly committing these war crimes. over and over and over again which. regardless of you know the fact that. it's even rallying people to the.

Ayatollah um and turning public. sentiment against there's no public. sentiment that wants this war even in. the United States nobody wants this why. Trump's approval is not like all-time. lows. Nobody wants to be in this with. Netanyahu other than Mark Levvin, but. it's a war crime. You know, when we blow. up the ships in Venezuela, those are war. crimes. Those are war crimes that are. taking place. And we covered the drop. site scoop uh about the prosecutor from. Ecuador who was assassinated, who was. investigating the US war crimes off the.

coast, which involved also people from. Ecuador as well. When you look at Donald. Trump's polling lately, I mean, we we. it's as low as you can get across all of. the major polling. It's uh 33, 34, 32. When you look at the uh subset of nonol. white voters, that's Trump's crew, right? Plus 24 back in February of 2025. Negative8 right now. That's a new low.

He's ne negative on white non-ol voters. right there. But basically you look at. all voter I mean independence he was. like net negative -22 on every issue gas. netg 58 net negative50. I mean his. polling is as bad or worse than after. the January 6th insurrection. Uh right. now you look as I told you there was a. Fox poll uh before James Tarico up three. on Ken Paxton. You know, I mean, I guess. the, you know, the old MAGA playbook of.

Talifico. and vegan and um six genders. Six six. gender. I, you know, I just think, you. know, I mean, Ken Paxton's a guy who's a. crook. He released. child sex abusers. You know, he got. impeached by his own party. You know, he's been indicted. You know, he's like. the worst human. like he's Trump's crew. >> Divorced them on biblical grounds. >> He's he's he's Trump's crew. But um.

>> you know what's interesting about those. attacks? I'm not saying they don't work. cuz I think they I think they do have an. impact for sure. You know, when they do. the you know the culture war stuff, they. do it they do it for a reason, but I. think the ironic thing about those. attacks is they work a whole lot better. when the economy is actually better. when things are actually better, when. things are running smoother and people. actually can be redirected into those. culture war games. But when the world is. quite literally on fire, when the GDP is.

slowing to basically nothing, when. inflation is going through the roof, I. think people look at you trying to do. talofo and transgender this, transgender. that, and they go, "Shut the hell up. Like, stop. Like, we're all being beaten. down by you now. Stop like trying to. beat down, you know, other communities. as well." enough enough of this crap. And ironically, it worked, you know, and. during Biden because actually things. were recovering and people were able to. get a little bit of a breather at that. point. >> Yeah. Well, look, and I don't want to. paint the rosiest picture. Biden had to.

deal with Trump, right? And so there was. high inflation the first, you know, years. That was a big problem and Biden. had to deal with it and there was. recovery from COVID. There was a lot of. things that were going on that had to be. dealt with. But there's a difference. between dealing with problems and the. house affirmatively being on just total. fire. And if you think about Brett to. your point again, not to uh you know. glorify you know that everything was. great and rosy and amazing, but you.

didn't have like a full house on fire. And so you were able to basically get in. there into the house and shout to. people, hey, I got a nicer house for. you. That's that house. But it could be. better. You want the bigger house. You. want the nicer car. You want I alone can. fix it. I can do it. I can do it. And. that's an argument that may appeal once. people like, oh, let me what what house. is that? The moral. Oh, you know the. maybe you're promising me all of these.

things. Electricity bills are going to. be half as much. Gas is going to be. under $2. Housing is going to be affordable. There's going to be no wars. Oh, that. sounds like a a a maybe a better house. than the house I'm in. But right now, the house is on fire. The house is on. fire. People know who the arsonists are. because they're burning the house right. now. I mean, we see Trump meeting with. Netanyahu. We see we know who we know. who's doing it. We know where it's. coming from. And then while the fire's. taking place, the arsonists are going in.

and going, "Yoohoo. Hey, everybody. Um, what do you think about the transgender. people?" Okay. What do you think about. uh Telerico? What do you think about um. communists? What do you think about uh. commun like dude shut up that you're. burning that? Take your freaking fire. hose and put this thing out. We don't. want to hear any of this crap. That's. the moment that we're, you know, that's. the moment that we're in. And also on. the Democratic side, people I think.

don't want to even like hear, you know, well, are you gonna move me 3.2 two. points to the to the center or 2.2. points to the distance. And are you. going to people like where's your fire. hose? Where the hell is your fire hose. to put out this fire? And don't direct. that fire hose up in the air. Direct the. fire hose at the firehouse and show me. you're going to get in there and I don't. care. Yeah, it's dangerous to get in. there. Yeah, you may get hurt getting in. there, but show me you're going to get.

in there and put out the damn fire. Because if you're not going to do it, I. want to know who's putting out the damn. fire. That to me is the moment that. we're going through right now and who is. out there fighting, who is up there. rolling up their sleeves calling out the. corruption, the criminality, and. everything that's going on in plain view. right now. And one of the things that I. think we need to uh you know talk about. first off Todd Blanch should not be. confirmed period full stop for every.

unethical hor the worst the worst Todd. Blanch in my opinion shouldn't have a. bar license for what he that's like and. that's generous that to me that's. heaping praise if the if saying he. shouldn't get a bar license because to. me it's far worse the damage that this. guy has done. He's way worse than Bondi. He's frankly he's way worse than I think. Gates would have been. Right. In any. event, you have the two Republican. senator senators who Trump screwed over, Cornin and Tillis. They're holding out.

and saying, "We're not going to confirm. you until you put something in writing. that you're going to avoid Trump's. collusive settlement with the government. where Trump gets a super pardon uh. voiding or where Trump gets a super. pardon." So there's no tax audits and. there's no criminal investigations into. his tax evasion and Trump gets a free. pass and you know gets to um not have. not have any investigations into him. there. And then there's a January six. slush fund for $1.776 billion and Blanch.

and Dest. [snorts] Yeah, they've said, look, they've said, "Well, we'll make. the oral representation that we're not. going to enforce the settlement. agreement, but Cornin was a former Texas. Supreme Court justice before becoming a. United States Senator. He knew what was. going on. I mean, I guess I would give. him a little bit of credit, but. certainly not give him lots of credit.". So, he was like, "Got it." So the reason. you're saying you'll make an oral. representation but not a writing is.

because in the settlement agreement. between Trump and the government, Trump. and his individual asset, it says the. only way this gets overturned is if. there is a written instrument. So you're. preparing Trump to have the no written. instrument loophole. No written document. loophole. Ah, they made the oral. representation, but there was nothing in. writing, so therefore this agreement was. still enforceable. That's a gimmick. That's a Trump stunt. That's so Trumpy. right there. Right. That was their plan. Cordon identified it and Cordon's like, "Look, just put it in writing. Just put.

it in writing. You say you're not going. to enforce it, so put it in writing that. you're not going to enforce it." And. Blanch is like, as as far as we know, Blanch is like, "Well, there's nothing I. can do about it right now." And Cornin. and Tillis are like, "Well, what's going. on?" They also want to like, they're. like, "Somebody in Trump's orbit, maybe. it's Trump. Maybe it's Trump in Trump's. orbit." Is the one telling Blanch, "Absolutely not. Maybe, I don't know, Donald Trump made a post this morning. saying that, well, we're not going to uh. maybe we won't even have Blanch. confirmed until after the midterms where.

Trump suspects that Republicans will. control the United States Senate still, and then we'll get his confirmation done. after the midterms once Tillis and. Cornin are gone. Well, at least with. Tillis, it seems pretty clear that. Tillis is going to be replaced by former. Governor Cooper. Uh, and you'll have a. Democrat in that seat now in North. Carolina. And it's possible Cornin after. Trump endorsed Paxton is going to be. replaced by Tal Rico based on the. current polling. And if you look at, you.

know, places like Iowa, Josh Turk, great. ad that he just had with Obama. I've had. him on time. Incredible. Uh, parolympian. basketball player, incredible guy. He's. up. Shared Brown's up in Ohio. Um, Assaf's up. And then these people have. pretty significant leads as well, you. know. So. >> the the craziest thing though is you. look at the polling, right? And I know I. know how people feel about polling. I. feel the same way. You never know with. the polling, right? But you look at. polling, you look at the environment. that it appears that we are in on these.

generic polls where you're seeing. Democrats plus 12 or more on a lot of. these polls. Like nightmare scenario for. Republicans when you look at the data. But then you turn on the news and I feel. like all of the news is like just. constant stream of Democrats in. disarray, Democratic catastrophe. What. are these Democrats doing? Look at all. this infighting. And like you said, like. direct your fire hose where it's. supposed to be. Okay, we got a freaking.

fire burning in front of us right now. How about we pay attention to the. fascist threat that's in front of us, beyond a threat, the one that's all. consuming right now. How about we pay. attention to these various fraudsters, these corrupt individuals who are. continuously trying to take over our. government? And how about we actually. look at the data at what's going on and. acknowledge the fact that this is. actually quite a good environment right. now heading into the midterms for the. Democrats. And it's the Republicans. right now who are actually in a very, very bad position.

Um, you. had the hold code that was being formed. by Giani Infantino with the Kushners to.

bring in a 20% sale of the FIFA World. Cup. Um, you know, this is just another. kind of Trump Kushner scam. You had. UEIEFA in Europe, Kanka as well in North. America, Central America, you know, all. of the kind of Western hemisphere. Um. you have 41 countries in Kanka um UEIFA. all the member countries in Europe uh. the US football program all basically. saying hands off it's a no confidence. vote for Giani Infantino as well he may.

have to go now um you know with this. scam and yet again I it was just. something where it was you know not. because of Trump or Infantino they made. this World Cup weird but the best parts. were when people could just enjoy sport. and It brought people together in spite. of Trump and Infantino and Giuliani. trying to screw it up. But then they're. like, "How do we ruin this good thing. even more? How do we ruin it?" It's. like, "Let's sell it off to private. equity." And it also is important to.

note they're doing this with kids sports. as well. These right-wing MAGA. extremists, I'm sure you're seeing, raising up the price of children's. sports to make it inaccessible.
