LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to MAJOR BREAKING NEWS - 8/27/26

It's getting real, Donald. We are. approaching the midterms. All of your. fraud, all of your lies, all of your BS. has now been exposed. The American. people are livid. Trump's overall. approval right now, according to the. latest UGGV poll, is only 13% of. Americans strongly approve of Donald. Trump. The overall approval is in the. low30s, but the strongly approved,

that's about 13%. When you look at. Texas, when you look at Iowa, when you. look at Florida, when you look at. certain areas, heck, I did an interview. recently in Arkansas, if you look at. what's happening across the country, you're seeing Democratic candidates. surge because the American people want. checks and balances restored. They want. accountability. They want ferocious, ruthless opposition. They want Donald.

Trump removed. They see gas prices. record high. Diesel prices record high. The neverending catastrophic war that. Donald Trump got us into with Netanyahu. continues. Trump continues to lie. Claims we control the straight of. The price of oil and common. sense dictates otherwise as does the. fact that we continue to see Iran strike. tankers in these straight moves. So.

Donald Trump can say I've demined the. straight of moose. That's what the new. lies are about. Not about the fake deal. anymore with Iran. He's kind of moved on. to we've never had so many ships leave. A navy destroyer demined the straight of. Hormuz and like our former allies. because the US doesn't have allies. anymore. Like, uh, there are still minds. in these straight of hormos. Like, this. guy's lying about everything. Oh, and. what about economic D-Day? Remember. that. You probably don't anymore because.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant is just. a complete and utter clown. We will be. issuing the most severe sanctions. against any country, any country that. does business with Iran. Well, China's. foreign ministry spokesperson said, "Uh, okay. We don't acknowledge what you're. saying. We're going to continue to do. business with Iran. Thank you very much. And we're going to give Iran a very. prominent lo role at the Shanghai.

Cooperation Organization meeting that's. going to be taking place next week." to. which Russia said, "Yeah, we're going to. be at the SCO, the Shanghai Cooperation. Organization meeting in Shanghai, and. we're going to talk about, I don't know, investing more money in Iran's nuclear. program. We already announced a new $25. billion investment in Iran's nuclear. capabilities. And so, we're going to. lean in, maybe do more. We already see. more Russian workers going into Iran.

right now to uh do more work on the. Busher nuclear plant as well as the new. investment which is going to be new. nuclear plants in Iran. So well done. Donald. The world is very scared of you. So, with all of this going on, with. America's economy absolutely tanking, with the American people suffering, with. no nation taking the United States. seriously anymore, with the US having. depleted its weapons, we had a $1. trillion military budget last year and.

they want $1.5 trillion more. We've run. out of weapons under the idiotic and. disgusting non-leership of Hegsith and. all of these idiots who pushed out our. top generals. So, just like the movie. South Park that I grew up with where it. was such a farce and a parody that the. US would blame Canada for all of its. problems. Donald Trump does that. Let's. blame Canada and say it's all Canada's. fault. They literally did blame Canada.

And then today, Donald Trump said, "We. are changing the name of Lake Ontario. and we're going to name it Lake. America." That's gonna show him. And. then Prime Minister Carney's like, "Do. you do realize that Ontario comes from. the indigenous people here?" And Ontario. means basically Great Lake or Big Lake. and it predates Canada. It predates the. US. You realize like in the United. States there are places called Ontario.

also because it is it's not a Canadian. word, you idiot. And so this is the. performative disgusting stuff that. Donald Trump was doing all day and then. he went off with Natalie and we've got. footage of him leaving with Natalie and. they're heading to fundraisers or. whatever the hell they're doing. Um, I. want to bring in Brett and Jordy and uh, we have a lot to discuss on this. episode. And brothers, I wanted to. mention all of those things before. getting into the clips and what's.

happening because I think that it's. problematic if the press just reports. Donald Trump does crazy thing, whatever. it is, you know, the same way Donald. Trump says that he loves Kim Jong-un, right? That was the earlier this week or. last week. That's part of Trump's weapon. of mass distraction technique. And he. wants us to just focus on that. It's. important that we recognize the why is. he doing this? Because he wants someone. to blame. Because he's destroyed the.

United States because he's run out of. the Ponzi scheme rope. And the American. people don't want to be ropeadoped. anymore in this Trump regime chaos. Brett and Jordy, great to see you. >> Great to see you too, Ben. Great to see. you, Jordy. Great to see you, Midas. Mighty. And it's also important that we. flag all of that at the top because it's. only going to become more and more of. this BS as we approach the midterm. elections. The name of the game with. Donald Trump is distract. It's divide. And you're going to see a whole lot of.

that. You're going to see a whole lot of. name calling, a whole lot of attacking. marginalized communities, a whole lot. more kind of Lake Ontario things. They. want to do everything to keep the to. keep Donald Trump's actual record and. the record of these Republicans out of. the headlines. I mean, we're literally. seeing that now uh in reporting like. recent reporting from the Atlantic which. says uh an inside source in the. administration says that they do not. want Iran in the headlines at all as we. approach the midterms. Well, maybe don't.

get us into this ridiculous, illegal, dangerous war of choice if you don't. want people to actually speak about it. But when you go down the list of just. about everything, when you look at the. economy, when you look at how people are. doing with affordability, uh when you're. looking at gas prices, when you're. looking at quite literally everything, our weapon stockpiles, I can go through. all the stuff Ben named. It's a. disaster. It's a disaster. So Donald. Trump needs to say, "Look over there. Look over there. Focus on this. get. angry at this. That's basically the plan.

in in a nutshell and that's what he's. going to continue to do and continue to. ratchet up. We're going to speak about. this and more on this episode. And I. want to say Jordy, congrats, man, as. well. Jordy, an incredible feature in. the Pittsburgh City paper. Uh hope you. all get a chance to check it out on just. look up Pittsburgh City Paper. >> I thought I thought you were about to. say that Jord's baby was just born. >> I thought that's where he was going with. it, too. And I was I was thinking to. myself, I'm like, "Oh, have I been so. busy that I just missed the birth of.

>> No, no, no. I just. >> That would have been pretty that would. have been pretty bulldo for Jordy.". Like, I I get it now. Looking back on. it, I could see why you would think. that, and I could see why the audience. >> The thing is in the comments, uh, and. our audience here is always so nice and. wonderful. They're they're constantly. asking me for updates, too, about did. the baby come, did the baby come, did so. bold move, big bro, leading with. congrats. Okay, now now that now that I. now that I think about it, I could I. could completely see why everybody would. think that. However, however, to in in. my defense in my defense in my defense, why would Jordy be here if that was the.

news? That would be pretty bad husband. You know, I'm saying. Jordy, what's the latest on your How. close are we? What's happening here? >> Let me bring this Let me let me bring us. back here. A couple things to unpack. there. One, I just want to say uh very. grateful to the Pittsburgh City Paper. to do some incredible local journalism. uh for that feature here. Uh definitely. check that out. It's on their website. Uh it was awesome. It was some behind. the scenes of how we got started here at. Midas. Uh where we look to go next and. just really what we're building here uh.

together collectively. So definitely. check that out. Big shout out to the. Pittsburgh uh city paper. And then for. for everyone asking in the comments, I. know Brett, very confusing way to start. the show. No, it uh not yet. Uh I it. could happen any moment. Like literally. any moment. could happen live right now. Again, this is the only hour of the day. when I do this show that I am not right. next to my wife. >> I I didn't think you were going to make. it to the show. I'm not going to lie. I. told I told mom and dad I said. >> we are getting very close. Uh all that. to say, very excited for tonight's show.

Benji, where are we starting off. tonight, Big Bro? >> I guess let's start off in that room. that looks like a bunch of piss. It's. the Oval Office. Piss yellow at this. point. That just looks absolutely gross. But the manifestation of the walking. piss uh that's in the Oval Office. Uh. Donald Trump had a big announcement that. he wanted to make today. A big. announcement. Uh what you going to make. gas prices lower? No. You The guy just.

looks ridiculous though, too. Like I. mean for those on audio, I mean the guy. like literally looks like cartoonishly. red and orange at this point. decrepit, rotting. Like it's uh very like it is a. very bizarre thing to like even like. look at this guy and be like what what. what am I even looking at? But was he. going to talk about I don't know helping. Americans afford a home? No. Is he going. to talk about getting the price of.

diesel under control? No. Any updates. with Iran? No. Uh what you going to talk. about? I don't know. I mean, our farmers. are struggling right now. Anything. you're going to be helpful? No. What. about the lobster men in Maine? No. Okay. So, what do you what what's this. about? You're going to rename Lake. Ontario. You do realize that the word. Ontario is not a Canadian word. You know. that it came from the indigenous people.

that were there. That Lake Ontario. predates the United States and Canada. And there are lots of places called. Ontario in the United States because it. literally means big lake or large lake. Like you do you do you real? No, you. don't realize that because no, the Trump. regime has spent the last 24 hours. posting weird memes of eagles attacking. Canada goose. A Canada goose. But then. it turns out in the video that the. Canada goose actually beat the eagle in.

the video. You may want to actually get. some context when you post things, but. like everything the Trump regime does, there's no they do it. It's mean, it's. cruel, and then it's also incompetent. What did they post yesterday as well? They posted uh. >> the church the Churchill movie. >> The Churchill movie where Churchill. references. >> calling out the tiger. >> Yeah. >> And the tiger was Hitler and the way the. Trump regime edited, Trump was Hitler.

And so they made a video that Trump was. Hitler and then people. >> and by the way of all the departments to. make this post it was the department of. education. It's like we truly are living. in an idiocracy right now. It's. everything I never imagined that when. authoritarian came to America, authoritarianism came to America, it. just be so stupid. >> You had the musician, what's the guy's. name? Jelly Roll. He he hosted Jimmy. Kimmel as a guest host and he did a joke. because he had lost a lot of weight.

recently. And so he said about Donald, he's like, "Hey, you know, you got you. got to drop, you know, at least 100. pounds or whatever." Um, you know, that. his own 300 pound weight loss meant that. he lost an entire Donald Trump because. he lost 300 pounds. And then he went on. to say that if uh Donald Trump lost some. more weight, maybe do like if Donald. Trump lost 100 pounds or 200 pounds, you. may be able to see your penis was the. joke. And then all of MAGA was like,

"Jellyfish, you're no longer MAGA.". Jellyfish. Jelly jelly roll. Jellyfish. >> That was not intentional. For those that. know Ben Heath, that was. >> jellyfish. You are banned. Jellyfish. >> Mr. Mr. fish. That's what MAGA would. say. Mr. Fish, you are banned from MAGA, Mr. Fish. But no, you had all these MAGA. Congress members are like, you're no. longer invited. You're no longer MAGA. You sold out. You have TDS. It's like, okay, these people are the most deranged.

people ever. Seriously, you have MAGA. Republican Congress member Patronis more. angry about that joke than the fact that. Americans have had their healthcare. ripped away in a state and that uh. American people are suffering. But any. event, so we got all that happening. Donald Trump in the Oval Office. This. big thing that he's talking about is. we're renaming Lake Ontario to Lake. America. And he rolls this out like in. an official executive order meeting. I'll show it to you. Let's play it. >> And finally, uh I guess the purpose of.

this more than anything else is we're. going to be changing the name of Lake. Ontario. effective immediately to Lake America. That's going to take place right now as. I sign the order. Do you have anything. to say about it, Ben? >> Uh, yes, sir. So, this is a. straightforward but important executive. order. It directs Secretary Bergam and. the Department of the Interior to update. the geographic names information service. to reflect that lake once known as Lake. Ontario will uh from this day forward be.

known as Lake America. Like if you told. me this was an SNL skit, I would be. like, like the guy even speaking there, sir, this is a relatively straightforward and. good order what we're going to be doing. Like this clown, you have Steven Miller. These are all a bunch of loser freaking. weirdos in the Oval Office, you know, but it's unfortunately it's profoundly. dangerous. These are profoundly I say.

weapons of mass destruction, but these. are profound manifestations of weapons. of mass destruction causing a huge. amount of damage to the United States. generationally and most likely. irreparably. And you know, you have. Donald Trump. >> By the way, Ben, did you see uh what. what a lot of people were pointing out. that you know, the acronym for the Great. Lakes used to be homes, hom. And with. Donald Trump's uh executive order, uh. another reason why you want a department. of education that people that are smart. in government is it now spells shame if.

you change Lake Ontario to uh Lake. America. So another genius move by the. Trump regime here. >> I mean, and it certainly is shame for. the United States. And so a reporter. said to Donald, "Are you concerned. that Putin has announced publicly with. Iran, the Iran's president?" Right. You. just announced economic D-Day against it. all tough that they will be holding a. meeting next week in China. It's part of.

the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. meeting to talk about the $25 billion. investment. by Russia into Iranian nuclear plants. Like did you all hear every word I just. said? Russia, Iran, China, $25 billion. nuclear in Iran. So all of those things, Donald, right? you does that cause you.

uh any concern over here about anything? Play this clip. >> There is reports that Vladimir Putin is. meeting with the president of Iran to. talk about a nuclear agreement next. week. Is there concern in the. administration in the White House that. these countries are taking economic. D-Day seriously that they're going to. continue doing business. despite the. >> Iran is right now they're not paying. their troops. They're in deep trouble.

They have very little capacity. Last night, we took 24 boats through the. straight. We're taking them through all. the time. I say it very openly. Uh it. doesn't mean we're finished with the. military, but we are the straight is. open. As you know, the straight of. Hormones is open. Uh we have control. We. have the blockade. Uh Iran's not getting. anything. Nothing is going through. Not. one ship has got. >> you punish Putin or Russia if they. continue. >> Well, it depends. It depends. So far, I. think Russia's behaved quite well having.

to do with the straight of harmon. And. you have to understand for everything. they do, we do also you know somebody. who's saying about China, what about. China? We hear they're spying, we spy on. them, too. Do it too. We do it too. By. the way, did you see that even before. the question was asked and the person. was like, you know, are you concerned? No. No, you didn't even hear what the. question was. Are you concerned that. Russia is building nuclear plants in.

Iran and they're doing meetings in China. with Xi Jinping? Nope. We do it too. Not. Not concerned at all. Okay. Okay. Then. then what does concern you? If that does. Oh. Oh, I know what does Canada concerns. you. You're spending your time attacking. Canada today while these other but. Russia's been very good to us in Hormuz. They've been good. They they've been. giving the weapons to Iran. Iran gives. the weapons to Russia. In what world. have they been good? They've helped Iran.

target and kill American service. members. Like it's pretty obvious, you. know, that that's what's helping Iran. find some of these targets. But but but. no in this narrative, Russia good, China. good, Kim Jong-un great, Canada the the. nastiest people, Brett, the nastiest. people to Donald Trump. I mean like but. he's a demented like you can't have a. like this is like when you watch these. shows and you'll have like a Scott. Jennings and then someone debated Scott. Jennings on CNN. You can't debate like.

these are garbage humans. Like these. people are absolute trash and they hate. America. They're traitors in my opinion. because they engage in behavior that in. my opinion it's like what are you doing? You're if you support this that means. you're supporting people attacking. America in my opinion. Well, the thing. is like those shows give credence to uh. their point of views which are just. blatant lies and then it leaves the. audience to kind of think that the truth. must be somewhere in the middle. I mean, it was something that Jordy said in the. Pittsburgh paper, uh, which is, you.

know, if someone looks outside and and. you see a blue sky and someone says the. sky is blue, someone says the sky is. orange. You shouldn't be led to believe. that the color of the sky is somewhere. in between blue and orange, it's it's. blue. And you don't need to have. somebody screaming at you insisting that. it's orange in the case of like a Scott. a Scott Jennings or whatever. By the. way, I know I've been awfully like busy. lately and we all been busy. Did I miss. economic D-Day? I thought this supposed. to happen on Monday. They forget like. what what happened to economic? No, they. did. They they they had Treasury. Secretary Bessant. He did a.

announcement. You know, remember he did. the announcement. >> He did a letter. An announcement. Yeah. >> No, he did a letter then he did an. announcement and then he was asked why. are you not actually going to implement. D-Day? Because actual D-Day there was an. invasion uh the day of and there was a. read a few letters in advance. >> He said why? And then Besson said why. would I destroy the global economy? I. need to work with. And then China. responded. >> Good question, Scott. >> Yeah, good good question, Scott. But he.

did write a very strongly worded op-ed. in the Financial Times where he talked. about bla1 Pascal's wager and he goes. like bla1 Pascal's wager. What we need to Okay, dude, you are. >> They didn't see Pascal's wager being. brought. When they saw Pascal's way, Iran was like, "Shit, >> was that the 17th century uh French. mathematician?" Oh he went 17th. century blaze. He went blaze Pascal on.

me in. >> We don't know what to do. Mr. Galabov, >> Mr. Mr. Ali told what is told they are. bringing out their secret weapon. Please. do not say it's blaze Pascal quotes. I. have some bad news for you, sir, >> sir. I have some bad news. It is a 17th. century mathematician named Bla1 Pascal. Jordy, top it. >> I'm just saying if if if Jellyfish could. comment on this, I'd be curious to get. his thoughts, too. It is it is it it's.

brutal, man. It's absolutely brutal. Like Trump's big three is, I guess, renaming a Gulf uh a lake and he's going. to do an ocean next. It it it is so. pathetic where you know other presidents. in the past I won't even name them. probably focused maybe more so on the. economy uh health care uh getting people. jobs affordable housing maybe that was. their big three big four Trump laser. focused renaming things he can't stop. renaming things it is so absurd and just.

absolutely pathetic that we sit here we. watch that clip and like how serious. brothers can you just describe for the. audio listeners like just how serious. Trump's delivery is. You know, when he's. sitting behind that desk talking about. renaming Lake Lake America, it it hurts. me. It hurts me as someone who deeply. loves this country as there is an. ongoing war of choice happening as our. troops die because of this ongoing war. of choice by Donald Trump that his laser. focus, what is he focused on? Lake. America. So pathetic.

>> Well, here's the thing, too. It is his. safe space because he's a loser and he's. pathetic, which is blame, right? He. blames everybody else. Blame Canada. Quite literally the parody from South. Park. Blame Canada for your own. problems. And then what does he do? He's. a fraud and he just names things. If you. think about what he does, this is what. he I mean, the guy looks like. ridiculously. It's. >> the straight of hair moose. >> Straight her moose. You know, I mean, this is someone, you know, Operation.

Midnight Hammer, Total Obliteration, Operation Epic Fury, Operation or. something like Project America. I don't. know what it was. Operation America, Project Freedom. Now, Operation Economic. Outcast, Operation Economic Fury. Okay, they just n you know but but you have to. understand again why are they because. they're losers and they're losing and. they're failing and they want to come up.

with a construct and a name and a thing. that makes you go ah got it and that's. what they do. That's that's how they. behave. He can't do deals and he can't. do the war. We should never have been in. the war in the first place. But yeah, the guy who bankrupted casinos. bankrupted our military very quickly and. we ran out of weapons. And so we hear. now from our former allies across the. world, be it in Europe and Asia and. elsewhere saying the US is done. They. can't protect us. The the whole. structure is destroyed. And these.

countries contributed to the US economy. It wasn't as Donald Trump's projection. Oh, everyone's taking advantage of us. He's he's just a loser. This is what. he's thought his whole life. And he just. comes up with fraudulent names for. things and then he blames others. And. I'll tell you what though, the American. people know that Canada isn't the bad. guy. And and it just shows you how. demented Donald Trump is and in all. states across the country, and it just. so happens particularly critical states.

to Donald Trump heading into the. midterms as well, these states rely on. trade with Canada. They know the. importance of Canada trade and whether. it is lumber or whether it is aluminum. or nickel or electricity whether it is. uranium whether it's other critical. minerals whether it is hospitality. whether it is I think I said electricity. you whether it's crude you name it. Canada is a vital vital essential the.

most important trading partner and as. we've heard from Canadian leaders and. they've explained this. They said Canada. has trade deals with all G7 nations. We're the only G7 country that actually. had free trade deals, you know, until. the United States, you know, went on a. rampage. We're the easiest country to do. business. We're and all Americans know. Canada's friendly. They're our best. friend. So, Trump doing this right now. just shows even more how demented he is. We're gonna take our first quick break.

If. there's that exit survey that the most. sent you, Benji, where you next big bro, >> talk about what else was going down in. the Oval Office right there. Report. arrest Donald Trump. Like why are you. attacking. America's allies? Like what what's the.

point of this? Like why are you. continuing to praise America's. adversaries or who were thought of as. America adversaries? And why why do you. just spend every day going after, you. know, like NATO and Canada and all these. countries? It's it's it's it's very. bizarre behavior. And you'll see Donald. Trump in this clip attacks Canada and. praises Xi Jinping. It's like, when I. speak with Xi, we talk about how. pathetic Canada is. That's what I always.

tell him. By the way, Xi Jinping has. increased his trading capabilities with. uh uh Canada um as a result of the. Trump's weakness and they've been moving. in more of their electric vehicles. And. now more people in Canada view China. more favorably than they view the United. States at this point. And it's like like. Donald, like you think Xi Jinping like. respects you, like thinks that you're. strong. Like you think Putin looks at. you and says strong. No, they think. you're clowns. I mean, you have the.

Iranian leadership mocking you on a. daily basis about how weak and pathetic. you are. You have all of their Iranian. embassy accounts like doing memes of you. hiding in catering containers in Turkey. with Natalie while you're too afraid to. board the old Air Force One. Like you. know the laughing stock where you're. like, "Oh, we were the laughingtock of. the world." Amongst America's. perceived adversaries or the traditional.

people we viewed as adversaries, they're. actually laughing in your face. Like. they've never thought this could ever so. quickly happen to the United States like. this. And our former allies are. terrified. They're horrified. Now they. are moving on. like this year and even. in these past few months, we've seen far. more. uh significant and tangible steps where. other countries are like, "All right, the America America's out, US is out.".

Like, they're done. Like, we we have to. really make sure we don't have anything. to do with them anymore. Um or just. where we need to, but we've got to phase. it out and phase it out quickly. But. anyway, here he is being asked, "Why are. you doing this to your allies and not. our adversaries?" And he answers the. question by attacking Canada and. praising she. Here, play this clip. >> Things like this towards America's. allies instead of um doing things that. >> Well, they haven't treated us well. The. Canadian officials have treated us very. badly. They're nasty people. Uh they.

charge our farmers 400% tariffs. They've. been doing it for a long time. And I had. them figured out in my first term and I. did some pretty strong things and had it. getting pretty good. And then the. election was rigged and now I'm coming. back and doing it the way it and. finishing the job. But they treat us. very badly. Canada treats us very badly. I would say that of all countries, as. you know, we have President Xi coming in. a couple of weeks. Uh we have a lot of. we deal with a lot of people. People. oftenimes they'll ask me who's the worst.

to deal with on trade and I said that's. easy. Canada. They are the worst to. trade. And they they feel entitled and. just we can't have that. They feel entitled for what? What do. they feel entitled to? I mean, again, Trump describes himself. He feels. entitled. He feels entitled to take the. sovereignty of countries and to take. their resources, by the way, for himself.

to enrich himself. That's what it is. Operation economic outcast. I mean, it's. just the utmost projection. He's talking. about the outcasting the United States. That's what the United States has. become. You couldn't get more projection. than that. I don't know. Did you see the. post of uh MB Galabaron's parliament. leader mocking uh Treasury Secretary. Bessant? I think we have uh a photo of. of it as well. And you had Bessant say,

this is what Bessant posted in the. morning. As the Iranian people struggle. to afford basic necessities, the corrupt. regime continues to squander enormous. sums abroad, instead of funneling. billions of dollars to its terrorist. proxies, the regime should spend that. money for its people. Brett, if you're. wondering what happened on economic. D-Day, it's just social media posts like. that. And it's the ultimate projection. Just substitute in the United States for. uh for Iran. I mean, what do you what do.

you mean as the Iranian I don't know how. I I I I don't know how Iran is going to. recover from another recent Trump post. Uh because this one is just I I just. don't know what they're going to do. Trump tweeted everybody Iran is a. failing nation. >> Other. I thought the Blaze Pascal 17th century. mathematician from France quote was. really bad. >> No, it's all over now. This post right. here with American flagfaced Donald.

Trump saying Iran is a failing nation. exclamation point DJT. That's really. going to hit him where it hurts. This. >> Well, I think we just won the war. >> I think I think after that post, can you. bring that back up because I also just. want to comment on, you know, we just. kind of let this slide, but also just. the president doesn't know basic. punctuation these days. Iran is capital. I a. >> by by the way Jordy if you remember when. Natalie Harp's letters were revealed at. the Daily Beast Natalie Harp's letters.

were had punctuation and grammar exactly. the way Donald Trump's uh posts appear. on social media random letters. capitalized and I think it's actually. probably you know a bit of a sign that. uh you know she's doing all these posts. like we know that she you know writes. his posts and So I think that's I think. it's a I think it's a Natalie Harp. signature, you know. >> Then Iran's parliament leader MB Galibah. responds to Bessant. Instead of. funneling billions to its terrorist.

proxy Israel and 750 bases, this failing. empire could spend that cash on its own. people. But nah, that'd make too much. sense for this regime. Scotty man, question mark, your credibility is on. the line. Do something. And in Iran, they just mock the United States like. that. But you also notice to the US. approaches, if we torture you enough, if. we make you suffer, that's what will.

make you want to do a deal with me. Right? That's their approach to. everything. And if you listen to what. the heinous rhetoric coming out is about. Canada, we need to inflict more pain on. Canada because if we hurt them more, that's what the Trump regime says. That's what all their Trump cabinet. people are saying, then they'll be. forced to do a deal with us. And you. have to understand Trump is a sexual.

predator, right? I mean, he is a. predator. and the Epstein class that. forms his cabinet and the people he. surrounds himself with also have a. mindset of being predators in my. opinion. And their view is that if you. say no, but they keep on forcing. themselves upon you, eventually you'll. say yes and that you'll want to do a. deal because they're sickos. because.

they are truly sick, vile trash humans. And that's what we have to understand. about them. It's not political talk. These aren't Republicans. No, these are. awful predators. These are demonic. things that want to cause harm. And. their perspective on everything is if. they hurt you enough, then you will. eventually say yes to them and you will. let them have their way with you. They're sick. They're sick. They're sick.

and you have to understand that about. them. So, I want to talk about what the. response is in Canada. Premier Wob Canoe. of Manitoba, he responded. Here's what. he had to say moments ago. Let's play. it. You know, when like a a rock band is. really over the hill and you see them. like in a casino playing some song from. like 50 years ago. I think that's the. part of Donald Trump's presidency we're. at now. Like he he thought he had a real.

hit, a real golden oie with the the Gulf. of Mexico and he's trying to bring back. that. He's trying to play the hits for. his base, but I think everybody here. thinks it's a little sad and it's not. his best work. Charlie Angus, leader of Midas Canada. Make sure you all subscribe to the Midas. Canada YouTube channel. Charlie Angus, former member of Parliament, NDP party, same party as Canoe, same party as David. Eie, another of my favorite premers from.

British Columbia. Here is what Angus had. to say. Let's play it. >> But I would like to make an offer to uh. the MAGA regime and those behind it. I. think you got to move Donald out. I. think it's I think he's decrepit. I. think he's creepy. I think nobody. believes him. I think you need to bring. Lego Man from Iran. Uh we don't know. that Lego Man has had anything to do. with Epstein sex cases, but we know. Donald Trump his name's all over the. file. So, I would rather as a Canadian.

negotiate with Lego Man at this point. Uh and as for the word of what comes out. of the White House, it means nothing. This is this this guy was a criminal. gripter from the get-go and it's all. coming home now. Um, that is what Canada thinks about the. United States. And the world just sees. that this Trump United States, which. hopefully won't be a Trump United States. for that much longer, is like the Trump. casino and the Trump stake and the Trump. board game and the Trump vodka and the.

Trump University and the Trump shuttles. and the Trump this and the Trump that, which all fail because the guy is. pathologically. a failure and a loser. And so now what. they resort to, they give it all away. The game plan, the blame, the fraudulent. names and the blame. Canada. Blame Canada. It's right blame. Canada. It's literally right out of the.

parody. It's that of the movie. But then. Maggamike was in Texas and this is where. they give it all away where Maggamike. says if Republicans lose the midterms. then the nightmare scenario will unfold. The markets will crash and America's. power in the world will be destroyed and. everything we built will all fall apart. We've had it. We promised you it was all.

right. Riches were right around the. corner. 2025, that was the appetizer. 2026 was the. banquet. 2027, we were about to give you the show. Farmers, ranchers, manufacturing. industry, workers, Americans, we had it. It was right here. We set it all up. perfectly for you. And then the Democrats took over and.

then it got ruined. So now we got to. blame them and then you got to elect us. back because they broke it. You need to. bring us back in and we'll fix it. This. is their playbook. It's always been. their playbook. The arsonist claiming. that they're the firefighter. They are. the arsonist. But listen, Maggamike just. lays it out here. Play this clip. Reason. that we are doing that is because people. like you understand the stakes are so. high, right? This is for all the.

marbles. We cannot lose this midterm. I. want you to imagine a nightmare scenario. with these insurgent Marxist Democrats. taking over the Congress. They would. impeach the president on the first day. They've already said what they're going. to do. They'll convert every committee. of Congress into an investigative body. They'll spend every waking hour. investigating the president and his. family and the cabinet and going on this. lawfare exercise. It would it would. royal the markets. It would undermine. people's confidence in the US and the. economy. It would empower our enemies. across the globe at the worst possible.

time. We cannot allow them to do that. Okay. The problem that that we have. right now is the people come behind us. don't understand how dangerous these. ideas are. They don't understand that. socialism is a road to ruin. They don't. understand that socialism is a step to. get to communism. It's Marxist. philosophy. They thought the communist. communism would be the utopia, the. perfect society. They're dead wrong. Okay. the communists and socialists, they're coming for you. They're gonna. destroy it all. We had it, guys. We did.

it. And then, nah, they took it all. away. By the way, I think that can maybe. hit a little harder if everything that. you warned that these scary, spooky. Democrats are going to do if they take. over after the midterms in the House is. what's already happening under Donald. Trump. He's like, they're going to royal. the markets. They're going to undermine. confidence in the United States. They're. going to empower our enemies. Like, could you even imagine somebody who. would do that? People who would do that. Yeah. The guy who's running things into. the ground right now who's literally. doing all of those things. I think.

that's a a pretty obvious. Also, by the. way, he makes the Democrats sound pretty. badass. I'm like, I'm not going to lie. It's like they should the Democrats. could just run that ad as like uh you. know, brought to you by the Democrats, paid for by the Democrats. >> Johnson do their branding. Geez. >> Right. Good messaging. They're going to. impeach on day one. Investigations into. Trump and his family. I mean, I think a. lot of people hear that and they go, "Okay, yeah, bring it on. We've been. looking for a check on this regime and. okay, that's how we do it. Okay, let's. let's try it out." Absolutely. No, by.

the way, when Johnson's up there, it. just always strikes me like, "Wow, this. is the best that they could do." Like, that that's that's their guy who they. put in charge of all this, to be their. communicator, to be their to be their. leader. Like, he's so pathetic on so. many levels. And he's just like, watching him makes my skin crawl. I. can't describe it. It should he's just. creepy. Like that that is my very astute. analysis. Why continuing to watch Mike. Johnson here spiral as we get closer and. closer to the midterms. He is he is. creepy man and he is definitely not the.

best person to put in front and uh start. doing PR here for the Democrats. >> This is who they are though Jordy. I. mean, if you look at Pierre Polv in. Canada, Maple Ma, who likely would have. been the prime minister, the way things. were trending until Donald Trump. demonstrated the dangerousness of MAGA. and the Canadian people woke up and and. there's a lot of Canadian people who. knew what was going on. But if you. looked at the polls of what was. happening before Carney, you had Maple. MAGA on the rise and most of the polls. before Carney showed that you were going.

to have a MAGA in Canada. And Pierre. Polb is a weird dude just like you know. I mean he does these weird workout. things he he's a very strange human and. you know he also lost his writing like. his congressional seat they call it. writings uh in the last major election. but then he like to he respawned and he. took somebody else's writing that. basically doesn't belong to him you know. but he took somebody else's and he's out. there doing the same ma Maple MAGA.

playbook right there and the people of. Canada are like, "Dude, we we we're. under attack right now." And let's be. clear, in Canada, they don't view this. as like a trade war. They view it. correctly as Donald Trump has declared. war on the country. That this is part of. a broader strategy by Donald Trump to. take over the Western Hemisphere. And. I'm going to drop a video in the morning. that I did with an incredible reporter. who's in Ecuador. So, I hope you'll all.

watch it in the morning. But we talk. about how Trump has installed these. dictators who are people from Miami. They're like Americans with family in. certain Central American, South American. countries. But the MAGA has been. interfering with these elections. throughout the Western Hemisphere, installing Miami guys who basically do. Trump's bidding and drain all of the. resources away. And we put the US. military in these countries and we're.

actually full-fledged like invading. Like we have US ground forces in places. like Ecuador doing actual missions. We. have boots on the ground and they go. we're going after the narco terrorists. and there's no evidence that that's. actually what's taking place. If. anything, you actually seem to be having. more uh drug issues and drug trafficking. and other trafficking happening, but. they're going after their political. opponents and they are in a war posture.

and the US military is involved in these. war crimes in these countries as they. drain the resources and they give them. to Trump and Trump's oligarchs. And so. we see that in Ecuador and we see that. Why do you think they pardoned Juan. Orlando Hernandez, you know, someone. like that? Like why why do you think. they What do you think is going on now. in Colombia, you know, over there and in. Argentina? And, you know, there's so. much that we uh that we get into um in.

this interview tomorrow. So, I hope. you'll uh watch it all. All right, let's. take our last quick break of the show. We'll be right back. And Jordy, you. said, you know, Magga Mike is creepy. When we get back, I just want to show. you what else is going on in that orbit. right now because it even gets worse. than that. But let's take our last quick. baker reminder. Pre-order WTF America if. you can. It's the book I wrote with my. brothers. It comes out officially. October 20th. The pre-orders are. available now. If you're going to buy it. in October, pre-order it now. It helps.

with all of the preparation for the. release. All right, let's take our last. quick break of the show. So, I have to tell you about this. gamechanging product I use before a. night out with drinks. It's called. pre-alcohol. You have to have. pre-alcohol before you go out. I love. getting together with friends on the. weekend, but I also want to be up early. the next morning with my family and. ready to go. Ziotics pre-alcohol. probiotic drink is the world's first. genetically engineered prebiotic. It was. invented by PhD scientists to tackle. rough mornings after drinking. I.

seriously could not go out without this. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic. byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of. this byproduct and not dehydration. that's to blame for rough days after. drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme. to break this byproduct down. Just. remember to make pre-alcohol your first. drink of the night. Drink responsibly. and you will feel your best tomorrow. I. got to say, I was a little skeptical at. first, but I tried it before meeting up. with friends for dinner and drinks. The. next morning, I was up early making. breakfast, hanging out with my kid,

getting on with the day exactly how I. wanted. That made me the ultimate. believer. Mondays don't move for anyone. Pre-alcohol works overnight, so you. could have a real weekend and still show. up sharp. So, do this for me. Go to. ziotics.com/midas. and use code midas for 15% off your. first order.

Uh if there's that exit. survey, let them know we sent you. Benji, I think calling Mike Johnson. weird honestly is like the nicest thing. anyone could like I think that's a very. PG mild take. Mike Johnson weird. What. What do you say to that? >> Yeah. Well, he's dangerous. He But, you. know, he is inherently this bootlicking. sickophant of the worst kind. And you.

wonder how people like Hitler came into. being. And wonder no longer. I mean, as. long as there are maggamics in this. world, in my opinion, that have a. mindset of uh bending the knee to anyone. they view as a strong man and just going. along with whatever the human psychology. aspect of it, and that's what I'm. referring to. It's obvious that there. are just enablers and Maggamike is just.

a horrible, trash, vile, pathetic thing. And again, I don't I don't view this in. a political way. You know, it's not. like, well, the Democrats are here and. the Republicans like these are loser. people and we've been too nice. We've. been too accepting of while they've. exploited this entire country. Like. these people, as I've said, are there to. kill you, MAGA Mike, the Republicans.

right now under this MAGA, they hate. you. They hate our troops. They hate the. United States. They hate our government. They hate democracy. They hate their. voters. I I truly believe that Trump and. Maggamike actually, and I'm I pass a lie. detector on this. I wholeheartedly feel. this way. And by the way, I I feel. wholeheartedly I'm right. They hate. their own voters more than they even. hate people who vote for the vote for.

the other side. Like they view their own. voters as the dumbest people. Imagine. like they look look at their actions. toward him. Look how he treats the. farmers. Look how he treats the. ranchers. Look how he treats look how he. treats all of his most loyal supporters. are the people who he loves just giving. them breadcrumbs and seeing them suffer. and seeing them beg for the breadcrumbs. That's who they are. While they're out. there saying like, "You know what? If we. don't get to put Donald Trump's name in.

an engraving in the Kennedy Center and. if we don't get to call the area around. the Kennedy Center the Trump pavilion, we're going to destroy it. We're going. to blow it up. Literally, I mean, in the. past 48 hours, that was a filing. That's. how Donald Trump and their regime is. spending their time. golden ballrooms, reflecting pool, hiding in catering. containers with Natalie attacking. Canada. And after losing a federal.

injunction which said you can't rename. the Kennedy Center the Trump Kennedy. Center unless it's Congress approves, Donald Trump's like, "Okay, so you're. not going to let me do that?" Well, then. I am going to put a giant tarp over it. and then I'm going to engrave my name. into the Kennedy Center and I'm going to. say it's not renaming it the Trump. Kennedy Center, but instead I'm saying. this is in honor of Donald Trump Kennedy.

Center. This is an honor to me. And then. I want to do the park and the. surrounding area the honorific to Donald. Trump so that everybody will now call. this thing the Trump Kennedy Center even. though it's been banned because he'll. have to now say it's in honor of Donald. It's the Kennedy Center in honor of. Donald Trump. And they're sick and they. said to the court they said we will have. to tear down the Kennedy Center. Now,

this comes at the same time that we. learn the truth, which is board minutes. leaked out. And since the name change. that Donald Trump did, which was deemed. illegal, the Kennedy Center lost $100. million in revenue, it lost 25 to 30%. immediately of its donor base as well. In addition to the revenue, and it. became decrepit because Trump broke it. And this goes back to what I said. before. They break it. They're the.

arsonists. They they destroy it. And. then Donald Trump in his filing, like. how he acts in this fascist capacity is. like it's destroyed. It needs Donald J. Trump to fix it. Why? Because he is a. predator. That's why. He's a sick, evil, disgusting thing. And all of these. people are who support this stuff. They're gross. They're gross people. I.

mean, look, you have Howard Lutnik over. here. Here's Howard Lutnik. He is uh. holding a press conference today. What. do you think Lutnik's press conference. is on? It's on the Kennedy Center. That's what they're talking about. And. why we need Donald J. Trump's name must. be on it. We have to engrave it because. it's not possible without his greatness. Jordy, you thought Maggamike was creepy? Watch this. >> center. The John F Kennedy Memorial. Center for the Performing Arts should be.

the greatest cultural institution in the. United States of America and possibly. the world. And the president wants to do. that, right? But it's not there now. It's had decades of financial neglect. And the reason that happened is because. Congress is good at a lot of things, but. what they're not good at is putting out. a little bit of money every year to. renovate and restore a building. They're. just not good at that. 10 million, 20. million necessary to fix this or fix.

that. They're just not good at that. And. so what happened is decade after decade, what happened was this building was. neglected. And so if we walk in, >> it wasn't neglected. It was great. People liked the Kennedy Center. They. showed up. It was sold out. Hamilton was. there. You had great shows. You had a. great symphony there. It was great. People liked it. What are you talking. about? The same way people like Canada. It's a great country. They're nice. People like it. The same way we had. allies. We liked it. Those were our.

allies. Those were. >> the strategy they use also um all the. time is to act like, "Oh, everybody knew. this, right?" It's like everybody knew. that the Kennedy Center needed. renovations and was was going to. It's like, no, it's what Donald Trump. says about Canada. Everybody knew that. Canada was taking advantage of us and. they were very bad people. I I don't. think anyone has ever said that in the. history. In fact, the stereotype of. Canada that people have is literally. about how nice Canadians are. It's the. opposite of reality. >> Yeah. I mean, look, you have MAGA.

Republican Congress member John James. this morning going on the Benny Johnson. show and as Aaron Rupert says, these. people are so effing weird. and they. talk about circumcision and they talk. about how it's a blessing from God. Let's listen to what they're talking. about. Let's play it. >> Well, the first thought that comes to. mind is that circumcision is has a a. sacred history. It's a covenant between. man and God. It is setting yourself. apart to as as chosen from Abraham. And.

this has been passed along in our. Judeo-Christian values as something to. >> that guy is a congressman, a MAGA congressman from Michigan. And. Michigan is going to face even more. economic harm as a result of the. escalating trade war that Trump launched. against Canada and Canada's very precise. and targeted and powerful counter.

tariffs, the retaliation by Canada, to. which the Trump regime then complains. about and they go, "Why are they. retaliating? Why are you why would you. fight back? If you're going to keep on. retaliating, we're going to have to. respond. If you keep your retaliation, then we're going after your auto. industry. Then they're going to retaliate against. that, too. They're going to cut off electricity. because we depend on Canada for. electricity in a lot of states, and we.

depend on Canada for crude, and we. depend on Canada for critical minerals. You want to see the United States. economy crash? just wait and see if. Prime Minister Carney starts unloading. some of the bonds that they hold some of. the treasuries. Canada does that. If if. you try to destroy their auto industry. as that's now Donald Trump because you. are retaliating and you're not taking. it, we're going to on January 1st try to. bankrupt your auto. Okay, then they're.

going to bankrupt the US. Wh why why is. this something wh why is this with. everything going on some no no American. want we don't want this we don't want. any of this even Trump's base doesn't. want people like what are you doing what. what what is what is this what are what. in the world and then you know I'm. showing you different people and I'm. showing you this is the stuff that they. want out there by the way it's not like. I'm cherrypicking like these are their. press conferences you know I didn't.

throw a camera on them and go all right, you know, and start asking them the. questions for for these ones. These are. pre-planned press conferences that they. held. So, this is Hegsip. He was asked. yesterday. or or it may have been earlier in the. morning. Um, what do you feel? What's. your view on the US running out of. munitions? It seems that we're out of. munitions and our allies are concerned. Here's what he says. Let's play it. >> Why would I answer I mean, this is kind. of stupid question I would never answer.

Like why would I answer a question about. whether we do or do not have certain. types of munitions? I would tell you we. have 110%. Or I'll tell you we have one. I would never answer that question. And. the press is foolish to want to press an. American press is foolish to want to. press an American war department about. where we may or may not be uh on on. classified exquisite system. And if you. saw the way he even visually looked like. flailing at his arms and then this and. the that why why would I tell you about. our exquisite systems,

you know, because we want to know why. the hell we gave you a trillion dollars. of our money and you went into a. catastrophic war with Netanyahu. against Iran and you ran out of weapons. We know you ran out of weapons right now. and now the plan is to just call it. economic outcast or economic fury and. give it stupid names. And then you had. under secretary of defense for policy. Elbridge Kobe. He's the number two to.

Hegs. He was at the NATO headquarters. today and he spent his time attacking. Germany and saying how is it reasonable. for the American people to be spending. 3.5 to 4% GDP on defense and project. power all for everyone's benefit and the. German people only spend 1%. They're. just attacking every country. They just. go out and just attacking everybody. here. Watch this. >> I think President Trump deserves.

tremendous credit. Uh no question. But. it's also something that the Germans. themselves are seeing as in their. interest and seeing as as something. that's that's reasonable. How is it. reasonable for the American people to be. spending 3.54% of GDP on defense and. being able to project power for all our. benefit and the German people to be. spending 1%? At some point that just. doesn't make sense anymore. We're beyond. that. That's one of the key things. We're beyond that. Okay, that we're. we're done with that. Okay, the American. people don't want to be spending 4% of. our GDP on the mil. We we don't we we.

want to spend it on healthcare. We want. to spend it to help Americans get homes. We don't want to spend it giving weapons. to Netanyahu to engage in genocide. We. don't want to spend it slaughter little. girls in Manab or to have people. slaughter people in Lebanon. We want the. money for Americans to build things. here. That's what we want. We would be. so much better if we didn't spend 3.4 or. 4% of our GDP. Look what you've done. with the 4% GDP. You idiots ran out of. our weapons. You ran out of our weapons.

You couldn't feed our service members. Our sailors and our marines weren't. getting food aboard the aircraft. carriers. And now the ships going into. Thailand because not only could you not. project power, you couldn't project food. for our troops to eat. And that's. systemic. That's and and and then when. people report on it like Stars and. Stripes, the independent news. organization that reported on the.

military, the Trump regime fired all of. their writers because they were telling. stories about the horrible conditions. that despite a $1 trillion military. budget, the only people who seemed to be. getting that money were Trump's oligarch. friends and people in Trump's inner. circle and Trump's orbit. while our. service members weren't getting food and. the publisher and the editor-inchief and. a writer all got fired. They filed a.

lawsuit earlier today against the Trump. regime because they got unlawfully. terminated from their job in retaliation. for telling the truth about our service. members and their family as Trump and. Hgsith defame our service members and. their families and call them liars. And. I've been reporting on this every. morning, so I hope you appreciate some. of the morning research that we do where. we go deep into the weeds about Army. Chief of Staff Randy George getting. fired by the Trump regime, getting.

pushed out. One of the main reasons he. got pushed out was because he was. investigating the Apache helicopter fly. over at Kid Rock's mansion, and that was. too much for the Trump regime. Also, he. wanted to modernize our military and. focus more on drone and anti- drone. technology and that conflicted with. Hegsith wanting the warrior ethos. Also, Randy George and Dan Driscoll. Driscoll. was the army secretary. Christopher. Donnu, a well-renowned,

a well beloved general also um they were. focused on promoting the best within our. military. But Hank didn't want to. promote and doesn't want to promote. women and black people. He's refused to. promote women and black people to even. the rank of one-star general and forced. out a lot of other top military leaders, even the chairman of the joint chiefs. because he's black. CQ Brown Jr. who's. got the most experience. And we moved in. a guy because he's a white guy named Dan.

Raisen Kane who had to get waivers. He. had to get waivers. And then our CIA. chief is over in Moscow and the Moscow. intelligence chief says this was just a. normal meeting that we have now with the. United States. There was some reporting. oh that we sent uh John Ratcliffe our. CIA head he because he was going to warn. he's warning Russia. Don't you attack. NATO. Why do you think you believe that that's. what's happening? Of course not. He was. there because the US works with Russia.

now because they're who Donald Trump. wants to be allied with. Why do you. think he's there? You think he's there. to stand up to Russia? Come on, stop it. Stop it. Nonsense. So that's where we. are right now. And Jordy, if you thought. the Magic Mike clip before the break, I've showed you that this is I could. keep on going. I could show you Navaro, this that you get the point. This is who. they are. >> Yeah. so much incompetence that then. there's like a cover up of the inco in. incompetence that happens uh like with.

the stars and stripes writers and and. editor-inchief um like them icing. reporters out of the Pentagon. You see a. pattern here and it's a pattern that you. see in authoritarian countries. throughout the world. You know, that's. what Donald Trump is doing. That's what. Pete Hexath is doing. They're trying to. shut down any disscent and they're. trying to cover up for just a really. incapable regime. I mean, there was even. a report earlier today from the New York. Times that remember there was that close. call recently where Marine One came. dangerously close to a commercial jet.

over Washington DC. Very dangerous. situation. Could have resulted in a lot. of deaths. They're saying the reason for. that in the preliminary reports that are. coming out that people are telling the. press is because of Donald Trump's. construction of the stupid ballroom. because it caused things to be moved. around. It made things more difficult. for air traffic controllers and it made. for a dangerous situation uh where it. almost killed people. I mean we saw that. during the UFC fight also where they had. those super bright lights shining and. pilots were blowing the whistle and.

saying this is dangerous. We can't fly. because they're beaming lights in our. face. Everything is for show. Everything. is just so absurd and ridiculous. and. everything that they do. And quite. frankly, a lot of folks in the media and. a lot of these consultants who go on TV, all they want to do at all times is. distract you from the issues that really. matter. The things that really affect. your lives. Uh the things that really. affect your day-to-day, the way that you. take care of your family, the way that. we take care of our allies. All these. actual issues that have a real impact on. your lives a lot of people don't want.

you to think about. But I do want to. give a shout out to all those brave. reporters who stand up to this regime, whether their reporter is, you know, at. papers uh even under a lot of stress. like the Washington Post or or if. they're at the New York Times or if. they're under a paper like the Stars and. Stripes, which is technically under the. Pentagon, but is supposed to be an. independent paper that is supposed to be. allowed to report honestly. Um it's it's. brave in 2026 when you're able to. actually report honestly and not what. the regime wants to tell you. So, I do. want to give a a a shout out to them and.

everybody who continues to stand up and. continues to make sure that all these. issues are grounded in the stakes of. this moment and what Americans actually. care about. Not just Americans, what. people of this world really care about. I think we're better than our leaders. Um, and I hope Canada knows that. Uh, we're in uh, you know, elbows up with. Canada. We're in great support with the. people of Canada. A shout out to them. The way they've handled themselves. through all these attacks, I think have. absolutely been brilliant. I think Prime.

Minister Carney has been brilliant. I. think all these premers have been. absolutely brilliant. Keep up the fight. Keep those elbows up. Keep going over. the boards.
