LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to MAJOR BREAKING NEWS - 9/24/26

We've got a lot to discuss on this. episode of the Midas Touch podcast. We'll talk about what happened at the. United Nations as the General Assembly. general debate wrapped up where you had. Netanyahu delivering a lunatic kind of. concluding remarks as most of the. general assembly walked out on him. You. had the uh Israeli ambassador to the UN. pulling some weird PR stunt where he. went over to the Iranian ambassador with. a Starlink and then yesterday we'll talk.

about the speech that uh Ukraine's. president Zolinsky gave. Of course we've. covered in detail already Donald Trump's. deranged speech but that whole kind of. Trump Epstein class network the Javier. malaise who were also talking about like. we need to destroy the United Nations. was just this kind of performative. outrage, nihilism, destructiveness. We'll we'll cover what went down there. Then we'll go uh first to what took. place in the White House earlier in the.

day where Donald Trump met with Xi. Jinping yesterday. Donald Trump had our. Air Force personnel and our army. personnel get down on their knees and. bend down for Xi Jinping and roll out a. red carpet and use their hands to get. rid of any dirt on the red carpet to. make sure it was perfect for Xi Jinping. Donald Trump then did a fly over with a. B1 and it was it was allowed but I mean. it's a flyover. Xi Jinping just kind of. stood there because he's used to. flyovers I guess. Donald Trump winced in.

pain and agony. It was so weird to just. observe that whole scene. And Donald. Trump's been bragging the whole day how. much Xi Jinping loves granite and stone. and loves he helipads. It is utterly. deranged. But Xi Jinping announced a. deal, folks. Two pandas will be going to. the Atlanta Zoo. Look, I'm a fan of. pandas. I'm glad they're going to the. Atlanta Zoo. But that seems to be what. came out of this is both a humiliation. ritual for the Trump regime as Xi. Jinping further talks about the. Thusidities trap and we got two pandas.

out of it as well that will be visiting. at least the Atlanta Zoo. Meanwhile, you. have gas and diesel prices continue to. surge. If you look at the 10-year. Treasury yields, vertical line up. If. you look at the price of crude vertical. line up right now, that's not good. That. that's bad. So now the Trump regime, more government intervention, export. diesel controls are on the table, which. would probably just lead to gas and. diesel prices going up if you just know.

a little bit basics about supply and. demand. Meanwhile, catastrophic war in. Ukraine continues to escalate. A true. dystopian nightmare scenario there. I've. been covering it every damn morning on. the Midas Touch network because I don't. see the footage out there of what's. actually going on in this war. And. meanwhile, you have the CIA warning. European countries that a Russian drone. attack may indeed be imminent. But at. the same time that you had Marco Rubio.

invite Vladimir Putin to the G20 at. Donald Trump's resort in Dural, Miami, when the G20 meets, you also of course. had the Xi Jinping meeting. At the same. time that China's foreign ministry. spokesperson said that they will never. comply with the Trump regime's. unilateral imposed sanctions on Iran and. that Iran's airplanes um can always. freely fly into China. And then Donald. Trump though wants everybody to know Xi.

Jinping loves that granite. He loves. that granite. Everybody, we've got we've. got a lot to discuss on this episode. Brett and Jordy, how are you? I mean a. true humiliation ritual where you could. say could you imagine if Biden or Obama. but the reality is is that what we're. seeing here is so degrading debasing. humiliating from the perspective of the. it is unfathomable what is taking place. and I'll just say this too I've seen. some people Democratic party kind of.

talk about it but folks this is a. freaking layup on a layup and you all. know I don't like political message and. like this I'm not like a political me. I'm talking about the objective damn. facts I see in the Louisy before me BUT. GO AND FREAKING TALK ABOUT what are you. doing right now we're got we got right. Brett and Jordy how you doing what's. going on. >> good to see you Ben good to see you. Jordy good to see you Midas mighty I. mean let's face it our expectations were. rock bottom but somehow Donald Trump. continues to uh surpass even those rock.

bottom expectations every single day I. mean every single day it's something. worse than the next it really is the. catastrophe that everybody imagined it. would be or at least that we uh were. trying to warn about in advance of the. 2024 election. Every single day gets. worse. But Donald Trump has also never. looked weaker. He just looks weak in. every aspect. He looks weak electorally. when you look towards these midterms. He. looks incredibly weak on the global. stage. all the promises that he made uh. not only not coming to fruition but the. exact opposite of everything happening.

to the extreme with these Treasury with. this inflation. with these new neverending wars with. conflict raging in Ukraine and. everything that is going on it is just. an absolute mess and I think you know as. we see what's going on here uh with. China it could not have been more of a. humiliation ritual by Xi Jingping and I. think what he basically was able to do. is one of the things we've talked about. in terms of the strategy of of China and. and Xi is that their whole kind of.

aspect is their whole thing is like. we've been here for thousands and. thousands of years. We'll let them kind. of destroy themselves, right? Never. interrupt your opponent while they're. making a mistake. Never interrupt your. enemy while they're making a mistake. We're just going to say sit here, let. the world fall into our lap. And I feel. like you were you were literally seeing. that uh this weekend with Donald Trump. when you saw that side by side of. President Xi and Donald Trump next to. each other with Xi Jinping staying. completely stoic, not reacting at all.

and Donald Trump wincing in pain as his. attempt to I guess show American might. and American strength completely. backfired uh in his face. All the while. he rolls out the red carpet for Xi. What. do you see? You see uh the uh Chinese. government seizing the parts of our one. of our top secret F-35 planes uh that. were accidentally shipped from Australia. to Hong Kong. They're getting access to. some of our most sophisticated.

sophisticated secretive technology there. is. You're seeing the Chinese foreign. minister say, "Uh-uh, we don't give a. damn about your sanctions. We are going. to let Iranian planes land on our. shores. Get the hell out of here and. this could not be more of a humiliation. for Donald Trump. And we've got plenty. to talk about. Jordy, what's the latest. on your end, >> brothers? Mattis, Marty, it is amazing. to be here. Did we ever get an answer on. the Trump wins thing that when did we. ever get like what was the lie that they.

had told the American people as to why. he was making th those faces? Did we. even get one? I know. >> you got the right-wing propaganda. machine was like, "Oh, Trump is so. excited about it that he. >> That was excitement." It was exciting. >> Got it. Got it. So, so his sarcasm, like. when he's like, "I'm going to end the. war tomorrow as soon as I'm president. It's over day one." That's you you're. supposed to be able to tell that's. sarcasm. And when he winces, when he. does the big wse like a very painful. wincing face, that's that's excitement. He's got a lot of interesting emotions.

Well, you know, it's an important thing. the media ecosystem that independent. media that we continue to try to build, right? Because as soon as that went. down, within seconds, the right-wing. propaganda machine was ready. immediately. And they were trying to. frame it as he loves the B1 and he was. so inspired that that was a face of. inspiration, right? But we actually got. the clip out before the right-wing media. got the clip out, right? And we put it. out right away and we said, "Look what's.

going on." And then we gave context and. we said, "Look, we're just giving you an. opinion here, but people with dementia. have a lot of auditory issues where loud. sounds hit them differently." And if you. want a control variable group, I mean, you take a look at how she responded to. it and you contrast it with how Donald. Trump responded to it and she acted. normal, like it was loud, but yeah, but. Donald Trump looked like it was the most. painful thing. in people who have. dementia or people who have other. cognitive issues there is a auditory. kind of discombobulation if you will.

that people experience and that seemed. to be again just an opinion what was. going on let's just show people I don't. we showed we've seen the clip a lot but. it is very jarring and it's worth. putting on one of our shows so it lives. here in perpetuity on the Midas touch. podcast so we'll we'll put it to the. record some things I want to add to the. record right we're going to add this to. our record of podcast here let's play. There's Trump with she and Trump with. the ultimate wse. And you know, it's one. of those things also where like Trump.

organized that like he planned for it. It's like when somebody tries to like. scare you, but you know they're going to. scare you. You normally don't get. scared, but Donald Trump knew it was. coming and he's still, >> you know, like she, if anybody, he was. the one who should have been like, "Oh. my god." And it was one of these things. where you just see Trump constantly. trying to like show off to these people. But somebody like Ashi Jinping, what. does he think as he's watching all this. go down? He's looking at Donald Trump. like look at this weakling. Look at this. pathetic loser out here. When you saw.

those that video, the Chinese officials. looking out of the plane watching our. military get on their hands and knees to. wipe the dust off the red carpet, rolling it out for Xi Jinping. I mean, that image to me is a uh career ender. You know, if you're anybody else, right? If you're a Barack Obama, a Joe Biden, that's the defining image of your. presidency. And the fact that Donald. Trump continues to give the people who. he gives that treatment, right? Xi.

Jinping, Vladimir Putin. He did it in. Alaska during the Putin meeting. We saw. our soldiers on their hands and knees. Who notably does does Donald Trump not. meet at the tarmac and does not greet. with respect? Vladimir Zalinski of. Ukraine, right? leaders who are actually. supposed to be our allies in any normal. world. But Donald Trump just loves to. suck up to these authoritarians and all. that makes them think is, "Wow, we got. this guy in our pocket. He is weak. We. control this guy. What a freaking. loser.".

>> That wincing, man, that wincing face. The only time I've ever seen that before. is when Ben, remember when you're going. through the sciatica and you were still. doing like the YouTube hits and you had. that like L5 vertebrae in between hits? You just I could tell y'all here, Ben's. face, that was not excitement. Donald. Trump's face, very different situations. Not excitement at all. >> You know, it also goes though to Brett. You point obviously major red flags. cover up. There's obviously something. going on with his health in my opinion. But then there's the planning. The B1's.

a louder a louder plane, right? One of. the loudest planes that there is. didn't. really impact Xi Jinping all that much, but I assume Xi Jinping planned, all. right, they're going to do a flyover. Be. prepared for it, you know, and Trump. should have just known that was going to. happen. So, if you have these auditory. issues, which is putting it lightly, what he probably has, why just don't do. that. Like, use another I don't know, use a different plane. Don't do the fly. over there. Like, plan so it doesn't. look like that. And you know, I think. one of the things that she wanted to.

accomplish showing up here in the United. States is to once again show the world a. contrast right now between what China. has projected itself as. Whether you. agree with it or not, this is how it's. projected itself. And it makes a more. compelling case than it ever has before, especially in contrast to the United. States that they're focused on. multilateralism and empowering nations. with sovereignty. They say this, they. repeat it over and over and over again. that they're going to be the stewards of.

a new global order that's less dependent. on the United States and focus on. investment. Like it was a marketing. pitch to the world. Look at me and. contrast me to Donald Trump and who. would you rather do a deal with? Who. would you rather do business with? And. that's what this trip was all about for. she not actually to give anything to the. United States. Quite the contrary. While. he was here, they made a number of. actions that one would think would be if.

you were looking at the US policy, which. again I think is wrongheaded, its. embargo on Iran, its catastrophic war, but if you were to look at the policy, what China is doing was basically as. hostile as you can get, breaking the. embargo, supporting Iran publicly, loudly in response to Bessant saying, "Any country that lets Iranian planes. in, we're going to go after." Right? I. mean, the same thing was also going on. in the United Nations where you have. Marco Rubio. At the same time, our CIA,

the US CIA is out there. Okay, say what. you want about the CI. I'm just giving. you undisputed facts of what the CIA is. saying. Believe them, don't believe. them. Do what you got to do, but our CIA. is telling all these European countries, Russia's planning hybrid warfare. They're going to put drones on a ship. and they're going to start invading. places potentially like Estonia, Romania. with drones. Not like full invasions, but like attack areas to test article. four and five of NATO. And then Marco. Rubio's like, "Hey, guess what we did?

We invited Putin to the G20 and we want. to really encourage them to show up.". And so it's like you have the CIA doing. this and then you have Rubio doing that, you know, which clearly undercuts this. message that Russia would pose this. threat if you're going to invite them to. the G20 like this. And again, one of the. things that we've been focusing on every. day here at the Midas Touch Network, I. try to do a video once a day is the. escalation of this catastrophic war in. Iran. I mean, you I mean, the. catastrophic war in Ukraine in addition. to the catastrophic war in Iran. I mean,

you had at the United Nations, Donald. Trump's like, "And my wife Melania is. reuniting the children that Ukraine and. Zalinski stole from Russia and she's. reuniting the kids that it's both sides. that Russia and Putin stole from. Ukraine. We've done our 25th. reunification of it and it kind of both. sides this children exchange and like I. who are these kids? Which kids did the. Ukrainians steal? And that's what you're. alleging is happening. And it seems like. a both sides giving cover for the fact.

that there are children who were dying. in this catastrophic war every damn day. The war is escalating and is out of. control. Far worse than anywhere close. to what it was under Biden. But every. day it gets worse and worse and worse. and it's going to be a catastrophic. winter. Zalinsky said, "We're preparing. for it, but we're going to make sure. it's mutual mutually assured. catastrophicness." But then you're. saying, "Look, we're reuniting the. children." Reuniting the children. This. is a war Trump said he was going to. resolve 24 hours after the election of. which because he's got the best words,

but it's all lies. It's not the best. words. It's literally a freaking. lunatic, you know, in the Oval Office. I. mean, I'll show you today. Donald Trump. was like, this was his takeaway. So, he. meets with Xi. He shows Xi the. ridiculous wall of fame thing that he. created in the White House where he. mocks former President Biden. He mocks. former President Obama and uh it's like. that's weakness. That's that that's. weakness masquerading as weirdness. like. why why do you think it's strong to. attack predecessors.

before I mean and it's it's and again. this is exactly. >> by the way not not to give the guy a. compliment but it reminds me the other. day when we showed that clip of Pierre. Palev on American TV right the. conservative in Canada and they were. trying to get him say just on an. American TV channel to say just. something a criticism of Mark Carney to. say something against him and he was. like I'm not going to do that on foreign. TV and you have Donald Trump you know. not showing the you know rock bottom of. decorum, the the minimum of decorum that. you could possibly show uh by just.

mocking former leaders and and. presidents of the United States. It's. just such a disgrace. Complete disgrace. And then Donald Trump meets with We'll. talk later in the show when Netanyahu is. like uh attacking New York City Mayor. Mom Donnie from the United Nations. It's. like, you know, look, I believe. Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac. You. know, there's there's a lot worse that. he does than attack New York City Mayor. Manny. But it is reflective of this. also. It's like you're here, not in your.

country. No other world leaders are out. there attacking New York city leaders, municipal city leaders or US political. people in the United States. It's unac. unacceptable. Doesn't do it justice what. that is. And saying, "Oh, Mani's. anti-semitic and he pals around with. Hamas and this and that." And it's like, screw you. What are you talking about? It really pissed me off so much. Honestly, that that made me so angry. because it it also not that he has any. credibility at this point, but it also.

harms Netanyahu's credibility entirely. Right? If you're willing to make up such. horrific lies about uh any politician in. the United States, but like one of the. single most beloved politicians in the. United States with like one of the. highest approval ratings in his city out. of like any politician. If you're. willing to make up such heinous lies. about a person, then like Donald Trump, you're willing to do other heinous. things as well. You're willing to kill. people and lie about it. You're willing. to start wars and then lie about the. reason. And for Netanyahu to come to New. York to release this video saying that.

Mamani supports Hamas and that Manni. >> Forget about he said it on the floor of. the UN. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But he set it up with. he set it up in the video beforehand by. saying that Mdani incited riots against. the Jewish people in New York City. incited riots and that the Jewish people. were running through the city because. there were riots hunting them down. I. think it's a disgrace. And I think part. of Netanyahu's strategy, one thing that. he wants to do, which honestly really uh. it makes me incredibly angry, is I think.

he wants Jewish people in this country. to feel scared. I think he wants to do. as much as possible to make people feel. like their life is at risk, like M Dani. is going to get you, like this person is. going to get you. It's a propaganda. tactic so that you say, "Oh, but Israel. is defending me, right? Oh, but BB. Netanyahu, he's defending me. He's the. one taking strong action." No, he's the. problem. He's the one causing all of. this. Just like Donald Trump, it's the. same. It's the same strategy, right? It's the same exact mindset of.

approaching a population where you try. to scare them, you try to, you know, other other people. You try to do. whatever you can in order to get that. kind of, you know, that passion out of. people where they just hate the other. person, right? Where they think that. their lives are being threatened and. that they have no other choice than to. give their own agency over to this. individual. >> Well, also, yes, all of that and. additionally is the forum at which he. said it. It's not like he was on one of. the Paul Brothers podcast, which by the. way still would be reprehensible, and.

went on this rant. He was at the. freaking UN. He was addressing the UN. like the form at which he spoke in the. madness that he spoke in. First off, good job on everyone just kind of. walking out when he when he went to go. stand up and deliver a speech right on. them. Unbelievable, man. It it's really. just it's a like we're at like a global. disgrace where there are so many weak. leaders masquerading as strong men, masquerading as like these these people. who who know all. They're they're the. wise ones. They they have all they have.

all the answers, but only they have the. answers collectively. So you have to. listen to them. It's really, really. pathetic. >> You know, look, you go through the. Epstein files and we talk about the. Epstein class, but you had Epstein. talking with world leaders in real time. about basically destroying the global. structures so that this right-wing. oligarchical Epstein class that causes. disruption and confusion can basically. use the panic to enrich themselves. I. mean, you would see him talking about.

how that was going to impact crypto in. 2013 when no one was really talking. about that. I mean, he would talk about. Russia's annexation of Crimea before it. took place and how it could impact the. ruble. I mean, they were talking about. all of these things at a global world. leader level. And so when I watch the. behavior of fat Elvis Javier Malay, you. know, give this deranged speech about. tearing down the UN, when I watch Donald. Trump saying, "We need to get rid of the. ICC and UNESCO." When I see how. Netanyahu behaved and how the UN.

ambassador from Israel behaved and like. tried to hand the Iranian um ambassador. to the UN like a Starlink and like, "Hey, this is what you like. You show. this to your people. We're going to take. down your regime." You know, and like. doing it for social media, you know. I. think about the global chaos and. division being sowed and I think about. the ultimate shared humanity that I. think people naturally want to feel and. you see how all of these bad actors are. trying to pit us against each other and. create great panic and great chaos in. order to feast on us and in order to.

enrich themselves. And I think that's an. objective lens of what we've seen here. at the United States and globally you. know as as well. And I think when you. see the polling data that's happening. right now where you're seeing this kind. of catastrophic numbers for MAGA. Republicans and for Trump with record. low approval, I I don't think it's. necessarily per se an endorsement of the. Democratic party. It is a growing sense. of opposition of we need to stop what. this mega republican.

oligarchical Epstein class thing is. And. then we need to hold the new group of. leaders accountable um for actually. bringing real change and not status quo. stuff. So we'll talk about that when we. get back. We had a great discussion. there. So, I wasn't showing any clips, but I'm kind of glad I did not do the. clips there so we can have that. discussion. First break of the show, but. I want to remind everybody our book's. called WTF America. Pre-order it now. It. comes out October 20th, but the momentum. for the pre-orders is so good. If you're.

thinking about buying it, can you just. do the pre-order right now? And that. helps us determine where are we going to. visit? Are we going to do book tour? It. really informs a lot of what we do um in. terms of the release and the pub day of. the book. So if you're a And we also. have an audio that each brotherh. recorded certain chapters. So we were. the ones who did the audio. We spent a. lot of time. >> we're very competitive about it. It's. funny. We we each did the audio. individually and we had you know there. was an engineer there with us and. there's there's a director who's.

speaking with you while you're doing it. Making sure you're saying everything. correctly, the right pacing, the right. tone, you know, all that sort of stuff. And I think all of us individually said. the same stupid made the same dumb joke. to the director. Uh, we were each like, uh, I I just want to let you know I'm. going to be the best of all the brothers. at this, so let's make sure that I'm the. best reader. And when I said that, they're like, your other brother said. that. >> I actually pretty much said verbatim. I. said, "It's very important to me that I. do better than my brothers, so let's.

make sure that happens." And he's like, "It's hilarious you said that because. Ben and Brett have said the same thing.". >> Yeah. >> First break first break of the show.

That's what initially got me. interested in collective. What I really.

liked when I tried it was how. straightforward the entire experience. was. I could actually message a real. doctor when I had questions instead of. dealing with some AI chatbot. And there. wasn't this confusing pricing structure. where you're constantly wondering what. you're going to pay next month. Collective was founded by Gunnar Love. Lace, founder of Thrive Market, with a. similar idea. Bring people together, pull their buying power, and negotiate. better prices. That's how Collective. offers doctor prescribed compounded. GLP1s for $59 a month from registered. USarmacies with thirdparty testing for.

quality. And that price stays the same. at every dose. No hidden fees, no locked. in subscriptions, and no introductory. medication price that suddenly jumps. You also get unlimited messaging with a. real doctor and access to a licensed. nutritionist for nutrition, exercise, and supplement support. And you can. start with a 21-day free trial where you. just pay for the medication and easily. cancel anytime. Get compounded GLP1s for. $59 a month from Collective. It's the.

same price every dose and you don't have. to prepay in advance to get the lowest. price in the country. Visit. collective.org/midas. That's c o l ccti v.org/idas. Mi das. Let's go.

Benji, where you next big bro? >> Did you know Xi Jinping loves Granite? Did you know that, Jordy? He loves. Pandas. >> I think that's that's kind of my main. takeaway from this event. That Nanyahu. is just a. >> pandas. Two pandas we got. But by the. way, I'm good with the pandas. I mean, >> I'll keep the pandas. That's. >> I'll keep the I don't think we get to. keep them though. I think they're on. I. think we get them. >> I got to say, I think the pandas are. pretty cool. And I. >> Wait, we don't keep the pandas. >> Listen, I think he says they visit. Atlanta. I don't think he says they. remain in the Atlanta Zoo. I think. they're visiting. got to look into this. >> I we.

>> at least I now have an answer because. when we do a lot of these interviews a. lot of people are like what's your way? >> No, this is the one question that every. interviewer likes to. So tell me. something good that Trimp did that you. like. I'm like I don't think we got to. give the guy credit for anything quite. frankly. But now I'll just be like. pandas visiting the zoo. That's. exciting. >> Pandas. Yes. Gas prices have hit record. highs. Diesel prices are at record highs. and they're only going higher. The Trump. regime is now saying they're going to be. doing an export ban on diesel because.

they think, you know, how you drop those. prices, just decrease the supply of. diesel to the international diesel. market. Isn't that the way isn't that. the way supply and demand work? And we. could also ignore the fact that in a. barrel of oil, you make both gas, diesel, and jet fuel. So, uh, what's. going to happen to the gas? >> Oh, that'll make the gas prices go down. Or maybe when there's less supply. generally because the refiners are no. longer sending their stuff to. international markets, maybe they're not. going to be able to refine as much gas.

And is that what's going to happen? Oh, the gas prices are going to go up. Who. could have predicted these things? But. as Donald Trump was telling people in. the oil industry, well, that's a. December problem. We we'll try to get. the prices down artificially for the. next 40 days or 30 days, whatever, before the elections, and then we'll. deal with the December problem. We'll. blame the Democrats. We'll say they did. it. We'll just be blamers. Dr. Fouchy. maybe did something to do with it. Dr. Fouchy did it every and Biden and Biden. did. Oh, do you see the auto pen? He or.

she? Do you see the haha? Aren't I so. ridiculous? >> It shows how full of crap he is also. because what's the one thing that he. always says when he's asked about the. war because he has no way out of the war. at this as of this moment, right? He. goes, "Well, I'm not worried about the. midterms. I'm not worried about the. midterms. I'm not going on a clock. I'm. not doing this." And then in the next. breath, he's like, "We got to get these. gas prices down before the midterms, right?" He's devising these schemes, even if it's a shortterm win, and I put. win in quotes. Even if it a short-term. win at the expense of gas prices.

exploding in a month or two, he's okay. with that because this is how he deals. with everything in his life. It's always. push it off, push it off, try to get a. delay on the court case, try to delay. it, try to delay it, and then hope that. it all resolves itself at some point or. or that just something happens or he. bullies somebody into submission. But as. you're seeing with Donald Trump and. Secretary Treasury Secretary Bessant, they're trying to bully these markets. right now and it ain't working. I've. seen memes now and particularly amongst.

the finance community which are not. particularly uh Trump haters. I will say. uh you know after the 2024 election and. all these people are just making fun of. Besson and making fun of Donald Trump. There are all these memes going around. right now of like Besson throwing like a. like a person throwing a cup of water at. a at like a big fire and they're like. here's Besson's, you know, plan to pump. funds, you know, out on the six billion. bond buybacks when you deal with. trillions of dollars of a bond. >> That'll that'll that that'll do it. I.

see people like throwing cups of water. in like an ocean and making fun of. Bessant that that's like basically what. he's doing here. They're trying all. these desperate moves. They're trying to. bully the market which doesn't care. about their BS to a certain point. They. may be able to manipulate these. shortterm spikes and and you know drops. like on a daily basis, but on an. overarching basis like the markets know. that this is just all instability right. now. It's why you're seeing oil prices. spike. It's why you're seeing uh. inflation rage. It's why you're seeing. all of these issues that are continuing.

to uh not get better, but just to get. significantly worse every single day. >> They're doing communism, but they've also ripped away people's. healthc care. Also, they're doing. authoritarian communism where the. government does this control and that. control and this and that and beef. We're going to get foreign and fro. The. government will take foreign frozen beef. and we'll undercut our ranchers. How are. we going to do with oil export controls?

That's what we're going to do. What are. we going to do with AI and this and. that? We're going to call it SI. We're. going to call it super intelligence and. that'll deal with it. And then we'll. take stakes in this company and that. company. And when you add them up 35. companies the United States will have. government ownership of and we're going. to take away your health care while. while we're at it also. I mean, isn't it. obvious what's going on here? You know, when when these billionaires and this. oligarchy when they get together in the. back uh what they used to call them like.

the smoke filled cigar rooms or. whatever, you know what they create? They create socialism and communism for. themselves where the wealth is shared. amongst the billionaires and everybody. else gets screwed. The rest of the. public gets the harshest form of. corporatist c capitalism, not even. capitalism, the harshest form of. exploitation. And you know what the. billionaires get? and the deck of. millionaires get when they're all in the. back room. Socialism where they divide. the wealth amongst themselves and hoard. it and steal it from you. Isn't it so.

damn obvious what they're doing while. they take while they take away your. health care, these sociopaths. But by. the way, when you also watch Donald. Trump's behavior and just how he. interacts, I mean, you see the level of. sociopathic predatorial behavior this. guy has. I mean it is beyond even. fathomable. The level of every sound. syllable is a lie and it is psycho and. it blah blah blah blah. So it is hard. Think about what he think about what.

he's thrown at Iran. You know every day. there's a deal. I mean it's crazy level. Now imagine the stuff that he does there. with the media manipulation and with the. constant lies and the predatory stuff. Imagine when he goes after like Eugene. Carol in the lawsuit because he sexually. assaulted her and she was defending. herself and she filed a lawsuit against. him. I mean, think about what it's like. And this is the, you know, the issue. that lots of people give up in because.

he's so in every, you know, he lives. this miserable piece of existence. and it's like you go, am I going to roll. in the mud with this freaking mutant. pig, you know, or do I just say enough, enough? And that's what he relies on. I. mean, the degree of it over and over and. every damn day, he's a true freaking. lunatic. And every news entity is not. doing their damn job if you don't call.

it out like that. There's no other way. to say it. You can't just show the guy. You got to explain what the hell's. happen. I mean, look at this. Look at. this. This was him with Gi. He I love Xi. loves Granite. Look what he says here. Play this clip of G loves Granite. >> A very good meeting. >> We had a great meeting and he has great. interest in Granite. >> He likes He likes Granite. He's an. expert on stone aside from any other. things and he loves Good Granite. Thank. you very much.

>> He's got the trans she's got the. translator behind him and she's like, "Oh, okay." Then she gives his speech and he. talks about the Thusidities trap which. he's saying, "US, you are the declining. power. You are Sparta as we see it. We. China are the ascending power. We're. Athens in this example. That's what the. Thusidities trap is. Thusidities is an. Athenian who wrote the story or a story. on the Pelpeneisian war, two decades.

long. And the idea of the Thusidities. trap was coined recently as a reflection. of Thucidities writing about the. Pelpeneisian war. You should read this. It was really a good good uh story on. the Pelpeneisian. not a great story, but. I mean he was a good uh writer about. everything that went down. But how the. conflict was inevitable when the. established power Sparta saw the rising. power Athens and what that meant. ultimately Sparta won the war against. Athens. But then Sparta was destroyed.

shortly thereafter. So everybody loses. in the Thusidities trap. But what he's. saying in the United States after Trump. rolls out the red carpet, after our air. force brings the red carpet, our army. gets down on their knees. By the way, nobody should do this. We shouldn't have. anybody doing this for foreign leaders. But like, you couldn't hire contractor. You. couldn't hire other people to like do. that. It had to be our service members. getting on their knees with that visual. I mean, for I don't think anybody should. be in that visual, but our freaking.

army, our freaking air force, that's. what you were doing. Uh but she talks. she talks about the Thusidities trap. what I just described and so she is. saying here we are the rising power you. are the descending power don't mess with. us and Trump's like he likes granite he. likes granite here play this clip. >> dialogue and improve mechanisms for. crisis communication and prevention the. thusidities trap can be overcome.

>> Donald Trump's like fallen fall asleep. behind him, dude. Like, >> yeah, chance idea what the hell he's. talking about. >> It really is the strangest visual. You. have a Donald Trump who is slumped over. on the far like Yeah. slumped over like. sleeping. Just utterly bizarre. >> Here's what uh also, you know, we should. note if you're thinking I feel like I. heard you talk about this before. It's. because uh she said the same thing when. Donald Trump went to China in front of. Trump also. And so this is a very.

deliberate thing that he is trying to. tell the world to tell Donald Trump. about the new dynamic of power that. exists due to the Trump regime's. weakness. >> Yeah. And he's using that language also. to show how stupid Donald Trump is. You. know, while Donald, it's also used to. it's perfectly picked out to say here is. a broader historical context because she. and China thinks about things not in. two-year cycles or elections. They think.

about things in thousand-year. civilizations also a lot how Iran thinks. about things as well. So invoking the. Thusidities trap is invoking a. spirit of thousands of years of of where. things are heading and not viewing. things in a gamified political lens. I. think that's important. But she. announced the deal. The deal was the. panda deal, everybody. Multiple pandas, too. Listen carefully. Does it sound. like these pandas will be residing long. term in Atlanta or will they simply be.

doing a visit? Here, play this clip. The. giant panda has been an envoy of. friendship between the Chinese and. Americans. Here I have a piece of good. news. In a few days, two pandas, Pingping and Fushuang, will come to. their new home in Zoo Atlanta and meet. with the American people. >> New home actually sounds like they're. here long term. So, actually great news. Everything's amazing. Things couldn't be. better. I know. Maybe it's not. Is it a.

rental? Is it a I need more I need more. data behind it. But like do we all. realize that they're trolling us? Like. we all like pandas. It's fine. But like. dude is there like trolling us. I bring. good news right as treasury yields are. at all-time highs at mortgage rates. 30-year fixed is over 7% as we get more. horrific news. I mean I think that a lot. of these AI you know companies are like. you know now invoking force majour. clauses and all like America's going.

through it right now. Like we're going. through it. The tariffs against the. world's backfiring. Groceries are all. done. I bring good news, everybody. What's the good news? Two pandas. Two. pandas, everybody. Like, that's clearly. a troll. I mean, am I. >> People are like, "Hey, can we get you. health care? Can you help us with, you. know, the gas at the pump? How about how. about mortgage rates and and and. affordable housing?" They're like, "Hold. up. >> Two pandas. >> Two pandas. Not one. Two pandas. I come.

bringing good news. And then you have. Treasury Secretary Bessent though. And. you know he he does his rounds as well. because you know the American people are. like dude come on. You said this war was. going to we shouldn't have been in this. war. We know it was done also to cover. up your cover up of the Epstein files. You and Netanyahu slaughtered the little. children in Manab and Lame Mered and you. recently slaughtered the family in Sirk. and before that the family in Keshum and. there are all these war crimes being. covered up and we now learn some.

reporting that Hunga the uh under. secretary of the navy or secretary of. navy now acting secretary was under. secretary acting secretary of navy he. was the one who now had to admit that. there were eight suicide attempts aboard. the USS Abraham Lincoln alone eight on. one on one of the super carriers alone. That's how horrible the conditions were. there. There was another service member. who died but wasn't included on the. original uh list because you got the. Trump regime not claiming it's combat.

Um because they say the war is over. You. have all this horrible stuff and then. you have Bessant going back on the. making his rounds on the news and he's. like I don't know if it will be a week. or a month but Iran will cry uncle. They. will cry uncle. What words are you. using? What do you mean they'll cry. uncle? Listen to what he says here. Play. this clip. >> We had negative wage growth. We are. seeing substantial wage growth here. That wage growth is going to continue. going. We will get to the other side of.

this Iran conflict. The energy prices. will will drop and you will they pick. your purchasing power back up. >> I think there's another clip of Bessant. That was one I wanted to show. But do we. have the other clip of Bessant where I. believe it was the cry uncle clip on. Iran? Maybe. >> Let's see. >> A month ago, you launched what you. called economic D-Day on Iran. Uh today, u oil is still, as we talked about, about a hundred. The strait is. definitely pinched. There are tankers. that are getting through, but there a.

lot of them are getting t attacked. regularly. A month in, is it working? >> Well, first first of all, Brett, the the. tankers, they may get hit. Many of them. just sail on. They they just sail on. You the Iranians may launch three, four, five, six the drones after them. Our our. great navy is blocking them, but we are. getting between 10, 15, sometimes 17. million barrels a day out to put that. in. >> I'm not sure there's definitely I wanted.

to show that one also to show the fro. I. don't blame Brett because the clips. they're just like screenshots of of. Besson's face. And again, his face, it's. just such plastic looking face that it's. so hard for Brett to tell the clips. I. don't blame you, big bro. >> They all look the same. I'm kind of. flying. I'm kind of flying blind over. here. I'm sorry. >> Okay, good clips nonetheless. >> Okay, there's one where he says, "Okay, the the point I'm making I'll just. >> start I'm starting I'm starting to think. you're making it up. No, I'm just. kidding. >> I'll just I'll just make the point. Okay. Besson says whether it's a week or. a month, they are going to be crying.

uncle soon. And so it's like that's. where we're at right now. They're going. to cry on who's who's they? The people. of Iran. I mean, the lesson that you've. learned from all of this is that if we. just torture the Iranian people that. they're going to now want to support. Donald Trump and Netanyahu, like that's. what that's the lesson that you've. gleaned now um from this war that was. launched in February. And also the. language. Cry uncle is what he says. It's like you're going to cry uncle. I'm. going to give you a swirly. Then you're. going to get a wedgie. And then you're. gonna It's like, okay, what? What are.

you going to cry uncle? I mean, this is, you know, this who who you're the. Treasury Secretary. Could you ever. fathom Janet Yellen saying, and the. reality is is that any word I put, can. you fathom Janet Yellen saying, you. probably don't even know who Janet. Yellen is, which is great. She was like, you shouldn't know who. You know why? Because you should not Janet Yellen, we're going to give you Willy Ben. >> What do you say? The old Treasury. Secretary Willie. >> Do you think Janet Yellen be like,

here's what we're going to have to do. Look, I didn't have to know what Janet. Yellen was saying on a day-to-day basis. when Biden was in office and when other. people I didn't have to know what the. Treasury yields, the 10, the 20, the. 30-year was. >> salt caverns. >> I didn't have to know about the salt. caverns. >> Pash trade potach. I don't have to know about the potach. trade and this the amount of metric tons. of soybeans of and you know, but the. reality is is that you know why? because. that's boring bureaucratic but.

existential stuff that government would. do and we would rely on competent. people, experts, science-based people. who would just get the job done. And I. didn't like when I go on an airplane, I. don't need I don't want to think, you. know what, I better learn to be a pilot. because those pilots don't know what. they're doing right there. So, at any. moment's notice, I got to fly the plane. No, what we expect is them to fly it.

And you know what we don't expect them. to do? I don't expect them to go over. the loudspeaker, the pilots, when you. get on the plane, AND THEY'RE LIKE, "HEY. EVERYBODY, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY. ballroom and aren't I the greatest pilot. ever? I'm such a great pilot. You know, the previous pilot was going to crash. your plane and I'm so much better than. the other pilot." Uh, you know, it's. like, "No, just shut up and be a. grown-up. Get me to point A to point B. be respectful, be an adult, and stop. this crap. And there's so much of this. that is not a political thing. And.

that's what I keep on coming back to. And frankly, that's why I also think uh. Oh, Brett, okay, Brett's got the clip. We'll play the clip just so you know. that I'm not making up the clip. Here's. the clip. in terms of constricting and. cutting off the financial oxygen to. them. And I don't know whether it's. going to be a week, a month or two. months, but they are going to yell. uncle. And you know the goal here can be. one one the goal is to make him cry. uncle and to cut off the financial. lifeline. That's a war crime. You're.

describing a war crime and you're not. going to make the people of Iran want to. rebel or revolt or march in the streets. for Donald Trump. If you and you behave. like that, when you slaughter the little. girls in their elementary school and. then you cover it up and then you blame. them for using their tomahawks when they. don't have tomahawks, what do you think. the reactions? You think they're going. to want to they're going to want to. welcome you or do you think it brings. more solidarity against you? What do you. think is going to happen when you say.

things like this? I mean, it is so. absurd. It is so dumb. It is so. offensive. It is so conscious, shocking, and we need to call it out when we come. back. We've got a lot more to discuss on. this episode. We'll take our last break. of the show. But remember, WTF America, it's dedicated to all of you. The might. is Mighty, The Way Out of This Hell, and.

By the way, if. you're on Medicare, I've got good news. and bad news that you might want to.

hear. According to the National Council. on Aging, the average senior on Medicare. is overpaying by more than $1,000 a year. for their coverage. And it gets worse. One in 10 is overpaying by $2,000 or. more, and only about 10% are on the plan. that actually fits their needs best. It's easy to see why the system is so. confusing, and that confusion allows. unscrupulous brokers and insurance. companies to rob you blind. That's why. it's so important to talk to a trusted.

advisor whose only job is getting you. the best coverage for you at the best. price. The good news is I found an. adviser for you. Chapter Chapter is the. only national Medicare advisor that. compares every plan nationwide.

Brett, real quick, uh it. would have been kind of funny if right.

before you played the Bessing clip, uh. actually when you played it, it was the. wrong clip. Yeah, I was gonna say that. it should have been it was the wrong. clip. >> if that was just the bit. >> Yeah. Yeah. I felt I felt bad by that. point, you know, >> but you know, but I I wanted to show. that because you the point is what. you've gleaned. I mean, look, we have. all of the knowledge that we should have. gathered since this catastrophic war. Point one, we should never have been. involved in this catastrophic war to. begin with. Easy, obvious, done. Okay. But now your main lesson is.

that if we sanction Iran more, if we. torture the people more, the Trump. regime says, then the people are going. to rise up and they're going to support. Donald Trump and Netanyahu and they're. going to want to turn Iran into Gaza or. southern Lebanon or they're going to. want to become like MB. Like that's your. letter. It was a failed plan to begin. with because they thought that they. could win with overwhelming military. force as by the way many presidents have. felt about the Middle East for decades.

and decades and decades. The Iranians. were smart. They actually do have smart. leadership who understand the mechanics. of the global economy and the United. States of America and what's important. to the global economy and the United. States of America. And they played the. long game and they're continuing to play. the long game just as we see with China. By the way, we see all these countries. playing the long game because they know. that they could squeeze the United. States. They could harm our economy. They could hit us where it hurts. And. that Donald Trump is at the whim of. these elections um and is now slated to.

just get shellacked in the midterm. elections. And so you're seeing all of. this, you know, stuff happen. And it. really is just they keep doubling down. on these failed strategies thinking that. they're going to get a different result. They're not going to get a different. result. It's going to keep getting worse. if they continue to go down this road. And it's like, how many chances could. you get? I've never seen people be. afforded more chances in my life than. these people who destroy everything and. then things start getting marginally. better and then they they can't help. themselves and they destroy things.

again. It's like it's been Donald. Trump's entire life and it's been his. entire presidency where you see Donald. Trump coming in and interest rates are. coming down and inflation's coming down. and gas prices are down and all these. things and Trump goes, "We can't have. that. I got to do something stupid. I. got to do uh liberation day, right? That. reverses the trend, right? Everything. goes back up up up. You get the that. knocked down. Things start coming back. down. Remember before the Iran war, what. was happening? Interest rates were. coming back down. Gas prices were coming.

back down. These were starting to head. down. Donald Trump once again, well, we. can't have any of that. We need to go. into this lawless war, this illegal war. Back up it goes. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up. And you have the Republicans. justifying it every step of the way. And. they give you this false choice, which. is either you could either accept paying. uh 7.3%. interest rates and $8.50 diesel and. everything you buy costs double what it. cost last year. you could accept that.

because the alternative was you were. going to get killed by nuclear. annihilation. That's really the premise. that they're trying to set up. But it's. like no, first off, Iran is not any. further away from a nuclear weapon than. they were to begin with. So it's a it's. not even like we haven't done anything. here to even help that goal. And. additionally, the economy is in utter. turmoil and people are suffering from. this. So it's like you're giving me two. options. It's a false choice and you.

failed at both options. >> Well, it's also how they weaponize. patriotism from that party. It's what. they do, right? They have their people. wrap themselves in the American flag and. they say it's your patriotic duty to pay. more at the pump. And if you're. unwilling to do that and unwilling to. sacrifice your money to pay more at the. pump in order to make sure to order to. ensure Iran will never have a nuclear. weapon, well, then you're not a patriot. Then you don't love this country. I. thought you loved this country. And then. Donald Trump is, well, don't you love. me? It's it's really manipulative and.

really freaky you know, and it. goes back to the Epstein class, right? In my view, what this behavior is. reflective of is Epsteass behavior. I. mean, these people are predators. And so. the conduct you describe, Brett, is they. prey on people's happiness and they. don't like seeing people happy or doing. well and for them only they can fix it. and they need to inflict the pain and.

then they'll say now I need to help you. with the pain that I inflicted. You need. me. You need me in your life. They're. sick. These are sick, sick, sick people. They're predators. They're Epstein class. people. They are the arsonists. Yes. then they want to be the firefighters. But it's deeper than just that metaphor. They are sick Epstein class predators. who are vultures who it isn't enough for. them to have even wealth. Limitless. wealth for generations to come is not.

enough for them. They need to measure it. based on your suffering. And that is who. they are. They relish the suffering. They like the slaughter. I mean, it's. not a coincidence, right, that when you. look at the Trump regime, yes, they're. covering up child sex trafficking rings. here in the United States and then they. start this catastrophic war and they. start slaughtering little girls. They. slaughter little children, little girls. in Manab, little girls during volleyball.

practice in La Mer. This is who the. Trump regime is. When you look at a lot. of these images coming from Gaza as. well, you see little girls going to. school who are murdered and slaughtered. with their backpacks on. I mean, it is. absolutely absolutely horrific. And. then, you know, you look at these. people, these MAGA Republican senators. like Senator Kennedy. I mean, look, you. let me do it like this way. You want to know how we resolve the.

catastrophic situation in Iran right now. caused by Trump and Netanyahu's. invasion? You want to know how you do. it? You want me to solve it? You ready? I'm going to do accordion hands. Will. that will that help with it? Accordion. hands. Here's what you do. You take the. two aircraft carriers that are in the. Arabian Sea and you leave. That's what. you do. And then if Iran still won't let. tankers leave the straight of Hermuz, then you go see international community, we left. Look what they're doing. Then. you can build an international.

coalition. And it's a pretty I'm all for. the quiet quitting approach. And and I. know Donald Trump was floating that at. some point. Just just pretend it never. happened. >> Leave. Let's get out. Sorry. >> You leave. You know what's going to. happen to you know the the mo the lunacy. of it all the after all of the attacks. on Biden this and Obama, right? If Trump. just took the freaking aircraft carriers. and left. All of a sudden the price of. oil would go down. The price of diesel. would go down. The treasury yields would. go down and people would be like he did.

it right. people would genuinely even. today, even September 24th of 2026, if. he took that action, he would get. probably not the same credit he would if. he did this earlier, which he does not. deserve. And let me be very clear, dude. deserves no credit. Dude's a war. criminal. Dude's a felon. Dude's a. sexual threat. I hate the guy. I think. that this Trump regime is the corruption. doesn't do it justice. So, I'm not. trying to give cosign this idea. I'm. just telling you the lunacy of all of.

this right now, this shared collective. reality. If he just took the steps of. removing the aircraft carrier, he'd. actually be praised as doing the right. thing. You would see all these metrics. go in the right direction. And the guy. who did the damage would get credit for. the damage that he caused, which should. never take place in the first place. But. but but at the same time, you know, and. I mean this sincerely, where, you know, and I don't say this as a political. question. I just say it as an observer.

Like, where the hell are Democrats right. now? Where the hell is leadership? Where. the hell is anybody looking at this and. saying in a profound way that can break. through. This is crazy. This is lunacy. What the hell? I mean, could you let I. mean, know we didn't. Can you imagine. this person, that person? But the moment. they roll out the red carpet for she, you know what the Democrats should do? Or any opposition party? Do a press. conference. Bring a freaking red carpet.

Call it your red carpet press conference. and basically say, "We just rolled out. This was embarrassing. This is. humiliating. We're going to hold. hearings on." I mean, just do some. like that. Like it it it doesn't seem. and and I don't want just so people. like, "Oh, I want you to run. I don't I. don't want to run. I don't want to run. for Congress. I don't want to run for. Senate. I don't want to run I don't I. have no inter I those are not my. ambitions. My ambitions is my role here. at this network to build independent. media and to continue to grow it. That's.

it. And I think it's important to have. someone focused on that and that's what. I am focused on doing here. But come on, this is like from a political. standpoint. This is some layup stuff. right here. Speak out. I mean, look, you've got MAGA Republican Senator. Kennedy from Louisiana. Here's what he. says. This what this is this is his take. on his assessment of this whole. situation. This is how he sees it. This. is like like I truly wonder what what. what how do people even think like this?

Here, play this clip. >> I think that the people running Iran. are reptiles. Um, and they're part of a colony of. reptiles. China, North Korea, Russia, and as I said, Iran. The chief reptile, the quarterback. is President Xi in China.

Um, you can't trust any of them. All. four of them are the same. It's like the same hooker in different. dresses. They all lie like time share salesman. Uh you can't trust them. I wouldn't turn. my back on any of them even if they I. thought and knew they were two days dead. again. Yeah. Hooker. Reptile hooker. So,

so are you saying the reptile hooker. time share salesman is in the White. House and we're bowing down to the. multiaceted. multi-dressed. reptilian hooker timeshare salesman at. the White House? That's so so and then. you also managed to pick they managed to. pick like the one of the politicians who. actually resembles a reptile. Also, I'm. just going to just going to the the only. person they could have picked uh you. know that would have been more like a. reptile would have been Rick Scott, I.

think. Uh but uh it's the thing is these. are smart people, too. You know, the. thing about a guy like Senator John. Kennedy, by the way, every that whole. affect he puts on his voice, the voice. is fake. >> It's all fake. It's all literally fake. And I believe like he went to like he. like got some degree from like Oxford at. some point. Like he's a very bright guy. And you see those moments in those. hearings occasionally when Cash Patel. comes there, right? When he starts. talking about, so what's this about the. beastiality, right? And it's a pretty.

good impression, right? And and you're like, um, and you're. like, oh, like, you know, Cash had his. defenses down and now he kind of got. trapped by this guy. And you've seen. that a couple times. And so it makes it. all the more maddening that these people. are actually intelligent and know what. they're doing and continue to do stuff. like that. Somebody who doesn't fit this. category who's not intelligent and shows. it all the time is Senator Tommy. Tuberville. Coach Tuberville. Tubberville. And his whole thing now as. as we have interest rates spiking and.

and people suffering. His big concern. right now that he wants the American. people to know is that did you know that. pilots are furries? They engage in. sexual behavior while wearing animal. costumes. And we need to do something. about pilot furries. And you must be. saying, Brett, that's ridiculous. Well, he literally said it, it is. And but. it's real. He said it on the floor of. the United States Senate. And uh when he. got called out by it, and a lot of. people made fun of him for it because of.

how ridiculous it is. He had to defend. himself with this ridiculous tweet where. he wrote, "I know the deranged Democrats. don't like the fact that I called out. the insane furry culture this week. The. hell are you talking? What you the. deranged Democrats? Everyone's making. fun of you, dude. But the truth is, there is an alarming, and by the way, these words are like all all caps for. the audio listeners. Alarming number of. these deranged people working in our. airline industry. Don't believe me? Just. a few months ago, pilots were meowing.

and barking at each other over the radio. at DCA. I don't even know what. >> I'm going to I'm going to say something. using my First Amendment right here. And. I fully believe that Tommy Tubberville, he's really into furry porn. Like that. is that like I think I'm pretty sure I. could say that. So that's my that's my. takeaway. If someone is so fixated on. this as Tommy Tubber's coach, >> Ben, >> you're the legal expert. My goodness. >> Contrast that. Contrast that though to.

what the parliament leader and lead. Iranian negotiator MB Galab posted. today. Happy 5.1%. 10year America. Celebrate. It's the. floor two years out. You wanted Iran. dragged back to the 1970s. Nobody told. you Iran isn't for arrogant amateurs. We'll return you to 1970s rates plus. high gas prices, diesel shortages, and. bell bottoms. Enjoy the nostalgia. And.

then Galab posts wild e coyote memes. with that also that MAGA meme guy who. wears the MAGA hat that's been going. viral lately. And then it's news. articles like Bessant dares traders bet. against him. I am the house. You realize. that Donald Trump was the house with the. Trump casinos and they went bankrupt. like not once, not twice, not three. times, not four times, like five times, like six times. Like he bankrupted. casinos over and over and over again. with the same pathological.

um flaws, which is putting it nicely, the same behavior, the same malicious. incompetence, recklessness, malice that. we're seeing right now. It's the same. stuff. That's why they were bankrupt. because we're seeing what Trump does in. in in real time. It's happening now with. our country. And so as MB Galibaf is. posting that, what's the actual data in. a threehour time period? Treasury yields. on the 10-year notes now went above 5.2%. for the first time in 19 years. The.

10-year note yield is now up 50 basis. points in 30 days and 30 basis points in. two days. 30 basis points in two days. Even more. >> Can I also just do Can I just do the. math on those years, by the way, because. 19 years ago, it's actually a. significant time period. 19 years ago. from right now is 2007, right before the. great financial crisis. And so I think. that's worth pointing out. I know to me. when I think uh I'm sure everyone has. their own version of this. When I think.

like 19 years ago, I'm like, "Oh, you. mean like you know 19 when was 19 years. ago?" I I always think like 20 years ago. is 1980. I always think like 30 years. ago is 1970. You know, my my time's all. off. But 19 years is 2007, right before. the great financial crisis, right before. the great recession. >> Yeah. But you know, our leaders who. aren't leaders are behaving like this. He loves his granite. Look at the. reptile hookers. Uh furries barking. Meow. Meow. You know, and their leaders.

You can say what you want about them. Say what you want. MB Galabaf is a f there. Do you realize. they're all doctors? Like they're all. PhDs. They all have engineering. backgrounds, technical backgrounds. I. mean, Iran's president is a. worldrenowned cardiovascular surgeon. Dr. Pescian who's like invented. methodologies of certain types of bypass. surgeries. Dr. Ragchi, Iran's foreign.

minister, wrote the main treatise on. international diplomatic negotiations. and guiding principles that's used by. foreign ministers across the world. You. have MB Galabaf right there, Dr. Galabaf, who himself is a PhD, a. background in very very kind of. technical areas and who's has. >> How many New York real estate guys do. they have, though? >> Yeah. Well, we have we have we have. Trump's son-in-law Kushner who basically.

bankrupted his one business deal before. all the grift, you know, was to bank. I. mean, it was probably grift too, but. using daddy's money, bankrupt a building. on Fifth Avenue. Then people forget. this. In the first term, we did like a. blockade on Qar with the Saudis and then. Qar bailed Kushner out and then the. blockade was removed and then Kushner. went and did all that, you know, did all. that, you know, did all his deals. You. have Donald Trump's scumbag real estate. guy Witoff. Witoff and Kushner out there. making fools of themselves. And so.

you've got this incredibly just again. from a non-political lens, we're putting. out the weirdest losers out there and. they're putting in their a team of. smart, sophisticated people. And then we. are, and it's a collective we I know we. aren't underestimating them and mocking. them and behaving this way. And then. I'll just leave you with this. I don't. want to show Netanyahu, you know what. he's doing because I show I did a video. on it. Enough Netanyahu, you know, and. and I didn't even have to show that many. Trump clips, but I want you just to look. at right here the Israeli ambassador to.

the United Nations. And this guy's been. making his rounds on all the US media. attacking Manni and threatening war with. Iran and we're going to bring the US. back into war. So, he shows up and goes. and gets right into the face of the. Iranian uh ambassador to the UN and. brings a Starlink to give to the Iranian. ambassador, then records it for like the. propaganda for the Netanyahu campaign in. Israel. Just watch this here. Play this. clip. >> I thought it's appropriate to give you.

the stallink. If you are the prime. minister, it can be very useful for you. to allow the Iranian people to get their. freedom after what you did to them. So. you want to take it and deliver it back. to Thran. It can be very useful for you in Iran. We love the Iranian people and we pray. for the regime change there. It will. come that day. >> And then you expect I mean for just. think about it like so you're saying to.

the guy we pray for regime change. meaning we pray for you to be dead. basic. I mean that's what that means. And then we're saying that we want to. negotiate and try to do a deal and that. we're going to do a deal and that Iran. respects Witoff and Kushner, which they. don't. We talk about this in WTF. America. At a basic level, if you're. going to do a deal with someone, you're. going to have to expect and understand. their existence. Okay? You're not going. to do a deal the way uh the Trump regime.

is doing, you know, and threatening, we're going to kill you, we're going to. make you cry, uncle. I mean, again, this. behavior is so disgusting and it's weak. and it's pathetic behavior. And you know. what I hope you see that we're calling. out here are universal bigger principles. here on the Midas Touch Network that. it's like right and wrong and just basic. stuff here. And so, in any event, we're. calling we're calling it out every step. of the way. I wanted to end with that to. share what um you know, what was going. on there. I did a whole video on. Netanyahu speech, but he attacks Manny.

and then he says, "We're going to get. rid of the Iranian regime." He attacks. Syria's president al-Shara, you know, and he and and it's just non-stop. attacking country after country and. saying, "We're for peace, not for. genocide." And so, I don't want to play. it, but I know we covered a lot on this. episode, so I'll leave it at that. Brett, anything you want to say? >> No, it was all it was all very Trumpy, but you see, you know, one of the things. we try to highlight is this kind of. network of autocrats and how they all. kind of use the same strategies with. their own kind of flavor to it, so to.

speak, based on, you know, where they. are and and who the people they. represent are. And you see it everywhere. from the United States uh to you saw it. in in Brazil with Bolsinaro, you see it. in Turkey, you see versions of it in. Argentina, in Israel, you see it all. over and and it's all interconnected. And so I think it's important to kind of. continue to, you know, connect those. threads and and show everybody what's. going on. This has been a great episode. Uh great to be here with you, brothers.
