LIVE: Trump COLLAPSE GETS WORSE!! 11/10/2026

Welcome to Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben. Mycelis and this is your breaking news. It's been exactly one week since we went. live for over 9 hours here on the Midas. Touch Network. A historic day indeed. that was and as we learn more about the. utter shellacking [snorts]. that Donald Trump and the MAGA. Republicans got in the House, in the. Senate, in state legislatures, in local. races, in school boards, in judgeships,

turns out that this was probably the. biggest historical beatdown in midterm. history, folks. And you made history and. now it's time we turn that. history-making action into actual action. in terms of legislative policy, in terms. of getting things done, you know, with. all of these Democratic trifectas in. states that haven't had trifectas in a.

very long time. I mean, I interviewed. the governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, the last time they had a trifecta, Democratic trifecta. We're talking about. what, 50, 60 years ago over there. And. there's so many. what we once would call red states are. red no more. You look at that map. It. was all blue arrows filling up the. entire United States map. We're still. waiting to call some very important. races, although we seem to know what the.

outcome is going to be. We're just. waiting because the MAGA Republicans. have not yet conceded there. I mean, Mary Peltola seems like she's clearly. going to win that race in Alaska against. Dan Sullivan. All of the latest votes. that are coming in are heavily skewed. towards Peltola, like 60-ish percent to. 30-ish. percent. And so it's possible that she. even gets to 50 percent before any of. the ranked choice stuff that would to. happen. So we're waiting to make that.

call. We recently made the call that. Lauren Boebert, bye-bye Lauren Boebert. in Colorado's fourth congressional. district. She's still refusing to. concede even though she lost, but for. all purposes, bye-bye Lauren Boebert, you are gone. She moved to Colorado's. fourth congressional district because it. was a more Trumpy district, a more. MAGA-friendly district, like a plus 18. MAGA district and she lost there. Bye-bye Lauren Boebert. And we're.

waiting to call Mississippi, although. it's like a 99% chance that Scott Colom, the Democrat is going to beat Cindy. Hyde-Smith there. She's the MAGA Republican senator who. said, we don't care about affordability. Just just eat some different protein. Stop whining about the price of beef. Eat some spam and shut the hell up. You. know, that didn't play well with voters. But interestingly, notably, MAGA.

Republicans don't seem to be learning. their lesson as their collapse. continues. They thought it would be a great idea. Let's make the minority leader for the. 120th Congress, Jim Jordan. Yeah. While the voters were livid and furious. that the Trump regime and MAGA were. covering up a child sex trafficking ring. that is the Epstein files and engage in. rampant corruption, let's bring in the. gym coach at a university who covered up.

rampant sexual assault by a team doctor. Let's bring that guy in who was. inextricably intertwined in a rape. cover-up. Great, let's bring in Jim. Jordan. By the way, a guy who previously. led the judiciary committee who was not. a licensed lawyer. Yeah, that's who you. want in the judiciary. Someone who. didn't pass the bar exam and didn't even. take the bar exam. Not sure better. Kate.

Zacharia, who failed it or Jim Jordan, who didn't take it. And by the way, I'm not judging. Just. don't lie and say you did it if you. didn't do it. Or in the case of Jim. Jordan, I don't know. Maybe you should. not be. Just me. Maybe you should not be leading. the judiciary committee if you're not a. licensed lawyer. I don't know. I just. think that. But Jim Jordan will now be. leading the Republicans in the 120th.

Congress while they're in the minority. This is going to be a generational. beatdown for these MAGA Republicans, and. I am here for it. But what I'm not here. for is the fact that the Trump regime's. awful policies continue to cause our. economy to be in shambles and utter. disaster. The latest inflation report. this morning was way worse than. expected. So much so that this. disgusting, vile, demonic sicko Trump.

regime, they're not even printing the. year-over-year numbers. They say, we. can't print the year-over-year numbers. because there was a government shutdown. last year. So you can't print the. year-over-year numbers? Okay, let me tell you what it is, everybody. It's 4.1% inflation. year-over-year. Seems pretty obvious. when you just do some basic addition. right now that it's over 4%. And if it. keeps on increasing 4% each month, which.

seems to be what's going to be. happening, we'll be at 5% inflation. year-over-year very soon. It ticked up. 0.4% month over month. That was higher. than expected. Obviously, now the. Federal Reserve will need to increase. interest rates yet again. The big. question is how much will they have to. increase the interest rates? Are we. talking about 25 basis points, 50 basis. points, 75 basis points? But they're.

going to have to increase it. And just. to think, when former President Biden. handed economy off to Donald Trump, if. literally Donald Trump did nothing. I. mean, I say this seriously. My little. two-year-old baby, ain't that little. anymore. She's like two and three months. and she's out there reading and talking. I mean, she's a real This is a pretty. incredible thing, by the way. I digress. I love her so much. She would be a. better president. than Donald Trump would be cuz really. you don't All you have to do is read Dr.

Seuss books and we could read her. two-year-old book about the little pigs. and the bunnies that love each other and. all that. This is all you have to do and. you would have had inflation. You just. let it go. Inflation would have hit 2%. year over year. We would have had. multiple rate cuts. Mortgage rates were. going down and then Donald Trump could. have taken credit for IT, BUT HE CAN'T. DO IT cuz he's a psycho. He's a lunatic. He's a failure. You know, even as Mohsen. Rezaei said, you got this failure. gambler energy. You just want to lose. I.

mean, that's what the Iranian advisor to. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei says. He says. you've got this failure gambling energy. What are you doing? Like do We don't. even know who the hell we're talking to. in the United States and it pains me to. say this, but when you look at Admiral. Brad Cooper, who leads CENTCOM hosting. podcasts or whatever the hell he's. doing, it is another show here in. the United States. The economy in. shambles. The never-ending war. continues. Iran struck at least two more.

tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. It. seems like they also may have hit a. cargo ship today as well. Earlier in the. week, they hit American military. facilities over in Oman on an Omani. island in that southern area by the. Strait of Hormuz. On Sarala, the Houthis. have been striking hard in Saudi Arabia. as well. They hit the Saudi Aramco tower. and city center in Riyadh. If on Sarala, the Houthis can do that, what do you.

think what would happen if the Trump. regime engaged in a catastrophic. escalation of the war in Iran? I wonder. how Iran would respond to that. And then. you have maniac lunatic Donald Trump. calling into C-SPAN last night. There. appeared to be a woman with him. Many. people are saying it sounds like Natalie. Harp like laughing. He calls C-SPAN and. he's like. Hey, I love your show. I love your show. And you hear like a girl or a lady. giggling in the background. It's like.

what the hell is going on here? He. brought Dana White into a press. conference yesterday. He's like I was. just joking. Dana White really isn't. going to be the press secretary. LOL JK. Look, there's a time and a place and. manner for you. Bro, I'm not anti-humor. But when we have our country suffering. the way it is, when you have the. American people that want this. despicable vile demonic regime removed, they want them out. I don't want to hear you know the Isn't. it so funny Dana White is the press. secretary? No, they're doing that to.

distract. And the American people, we. ain't distracted. We are freaking pissed. and furious in a healthy governing body. politique. When you got a. the way the Trump regime did, the. executive branch would be removed from. power. You would have a snap election. right away and there would be a new. executive branch. That's what the. American people want. And you would say. well, wouldn't Donald Trump just get the. message that was sent by the American. people? No, he's psycho. He's a freaking.

lunatic. He's a sex predator. He's a. felon. You can't expect this guy. All. he's DONE HIS WHOLE LIFE is bankrupt. things. Bankrupt this casino, bankrupt. that casino, bankrupt this casino, bankrupt that casino. Never seen someone. bankrupt something more than this guy. before he ever got involved in politics. This company, that company, this thing, Trump this, Trump that, Trump this, Trump that. Bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt. That's just what he. does. And he does have this failure gambling. energy. And all he knows how to do is.

just lie. Oh, we're doing great in the. straight of her moves. All the Middle. East countries, all they told me was. that we're doing great. They want the. status quo. They don't want the status. quo. Look what the Middle East countries. are doing. Look what their having in. terms of meetings. They're meeting with. Wang Yi over in China, China's foreign. minister. They're meeting with Sergei. Lavrov and Putin in Moscow. We're seeing. major meetings take place, major deals. with Iran, new gas pipelines into Iran,

new nuclear deals with Iran and Moscow, new helicopter deals between Iran and. Moscow, broader economic cooperation, new railway lines. The Trump regime begging Xi Jinping, Xi, Xi, can you help us with Iran? And she's. like, I'll help you, Donald. You're. you're so hot. You're doing so hot. there, Donald. As China just completely. completely and utterly outmaneuvers the. United States. I mean, look, Mohsen Rezaei, the top advisor to.

Ayatollah. says, look, we are creating a new West. Asian world order. He says it. He put it. in a message. It's what I've been. talking about. I see the meetings taking. place where they're announcing the new. security architecture. Not only was this. war catastrophic in it of itself as a. catastrophic war, it's destroyed the. entire US security architecture post. World War II. You don't get much worse than what's.

occurred in this war that we should. never have been involved in in the first. place. So of course Pete Hegseth should. get impeached, as Thomas Massie says. Frankly, that's doing the guy a favor, right? I mean, this guy's a war. criminal. He deserves to be behind bars. He deserves to be tried in the Hague. So. does Donald Trump, so does Rubio, so. does JD Vance, so in my opinion, or. anybody who engaged in these unlawful. orders that slaughtered little children. in Menab and Lemaire and slaughtered. people in fishing boats off the coast of.

Venezuela. I mean, these people are war. criminals and they should be tried as. such. Impeachment, of course Hegseth. should go. He's the worst ever. There's. never been worse. There's never We. learned a story today. I mean every day. you hear you hear something new that in. the NSA, the National Security Agency, which is in embedded in the DOD, there were 11 suicides this year in the. Cyber Security Division of the NSA, just.

the Cyber Security Division, 11. suicides. So Hegseth wants to talk about. morale. 11 suicides in cyber security. What else happened to cyber security? Oh. yeah, Tim Howe, the former four-star. general who ran cyber security. Oh yeah, he was one of the people that Hegseth. forced out with all these other. four-star and three-star, the head of. cyber security. So now we see these. hacks happening everywhere, hacks in. water supply, hacks in food supply,

hacks in military bases, hacks. internationally. Yeah. You fired the top guy, the four-star who. ran it, who ran cyber security at the. NSA. And then we hear 11 suicides. What did those people know? My heart. goes out to their family. What do they. know about what was really going on? I mean the level of PTSD and stress that. they must be under with the secrets that. they know that we'll learn about soon.

about what's actually happening. 11. suicides we learned about, 11. And meanwhile, we also LEARN ABOUT ALL. OF THESE whistleblowers. who are reaching out to democratic. leaders who will be taking over the. committees like the House Oversight. Committee, like the House Judiciary Committee, all. of these House committees. Corporate counsel have been urging their. clients. and corporations, if you were involved.

in a Trump crime, if you were involved. in a Trump scheme, the best thing you. can do right now, the best thing you go speak with the. Democrats and cooperate. Now is the short window you can cut a. deal, possibly, if you give them real. information. Otherwise, you're done. They're going to. find out. The top lawyers in the country. are quitting their jobs to work for the.

Democratic committees to bring this. sick, disgusting, demonic Trump regime. to justice. The top lawyers at the big. law firms, the former top lawyers at the. DOJ, all of this top talent that has. been purged by the Trump regime, they've. been waiting for this moment. They've. been waiting to work with a committee. that investigates. these disgusting, demonic creatures who. have hurt our country. They are ready, and these people are methodical.

These people know what they're doing. This ain't Donald Trump who can't do a. reflecting pool. This ain't Donald Trump. who can't speak in sentences, who can't. implement the most basic of plans. I did. a deal. I did a deal. I did a deal. I. did No, these are some smart, top-level. people who are going to find, identify, bring to justice all of these. disgusting people who aided and abetted.

this filthy, dirty, demonic, disgusting. Trump regime that covers up child sex. trafficking. These freaking sickos are. going down. That's what is happening over there. We're learning more also about Jensen. Huang, you know, the head of Nvidia, who had the affair. Seems like the. Chinese spy Alice Huang.

created these companies in Singapore and. Malaysia. Speed Max, Mega Speed, which was just basically a front to. funnel Nvidia chips, it seems, to China. A Obviously, the salacious issue is the. affair, but. dig deeper about what was going on here. How much of Nvidia's business was. actually unlawful exports to China. routed through Singapore and Malaysia? How about the whole damn semiconductor.

industry? How much of their business was just. basically funneling their chips through. Singapore and Malaysia to China at this. point? Is that how they were making some. of these record profits and disguising. it by like, no, it's just Malaysia and. Singapore? No, those seem to be cutouts. for China. And there's broader security. implications. That's why you may think. bureaucracy under Biden is boring, boring bureaucracy. Oh, national.

security checks, how boring. Let's just. make let's just have everybody make so. much money. Why would you try to stop. them, Biden? There's national security. implications. That's why there were. freaking export controls on some of this. stuff. where we now see these semiconductors. Guess where they're ending up? They're ending up in weapons used by. Russia to kill Ukrainians. They're. ending up in weapons used by Iran to. attack American bases. You wonder how. the Iranian military has advanced so.

much so quickly, how Russia has. increased its drone and missile and. cruise techno ballistic missile and. cruise missile technology so quickly, how they went. from the Shahid drones, which Ukraine. was able to strike with a 91%. target rate, to the Geran 4, Geran 5 where the. interception rate by Ukraine with those. new drones, the jet field ones that go. 450 km an hour. It's like 50%, 30%. Ukraine can shoot.

down the Iskander ballistics or other. Russian ballistics. They needed the. Patriot missiles. They needed the THAAD. interceptors. They didn't get any of. those. But you wonder how did how did they. develop these weapons so quick? You open. up the weapons, dissect the weapons. You know what find. in these weapons? Semiconductors, GPUs. as Donald Trump was like,

I'm not going to do security protocols. Let's just have everybody while Trump. was trading in all of these stocks. personally, making all this money for. himself, right? As he's making all this money for. himself, let's just ignore national security. We're going to find out, in my opinion, that what we're learning with Nvidia is. just the tip of the iceberg and that. this entire industry. has made all of this money, a lot of it, transferring. critical US-made components, classified.

components to China. You want to know why China has bought. zero donut-hole H200 chips once it was. finally approved by the Trump regime in. 2026? Cuz they did it. They got it. already in 2025. And the more advanced chips are the. Blackwell, the Vera. There's so much. better chips out there and China was. able to develop its own chips. Thank you. very much. We got what we needed and.

once they had that base, they were able. to develop from there. What do you think. was that? That's why this story is a. bigger and broader story about the. profits that all of these chip companies. were actually making at the expense of. US national security and what the. consequence was for our national. security. Important. Pay attention to. that. With all of this going on, you have. Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's loser.

son-in-law, and Steve Bannon, Donald Trump's scumbag business partner, right? They've got World Liberty. Financial together. Their kids getting. their. disgusting hands on all of this Middle. East money, these grotesque creature. kids of theirs, sickos, bunch of sickos over there, right? And you have Bannon, Trump's scumbag. buddy. They are in Abu Dhabi, which we know has. also served as a front for Russian money.

to basically take over Alaska LNG, right? The big LNG, the polar LNG in. Alaska. They It was a US company that thought. they had Abu Dhabi investors. Turns out. that the Abu Dhabi investors seemed to. be just fronts. for the Russian money. That's why all of. these executives at Polar Energy quit. when they were like, oh crap, I guess. we're basically owned by the Russians. And this was their way to get around. sanctions in Siberia by coming into. Alaska. Hell yeah, that's what they were.

doing. Wake up, open your eyes, see the. bigger picture of what the hell is. actually going on here. Trump's selling. off our land to freaking Russia. That's. what's actually happening right now in. front of our eyes. So I wonder why they. chose Abu Dhabi to hold meetings on a. purported peace deal, negotiations. between Russia, Ukraine, the US. Trilateral, everybody. Trilateral. Okay, it's a big It's a big freaking.

joke in terms of actually resulting in a. peace deal. Russia is basically mocking the whole. process. Ukraine believes there's zero. chance of success here. Russia. only wants to talk about a broader. security architecture of Europe where. Eastern Europe isn't even a thing. Russia doesn't recognize Eastern Europe. That's part of the Soviet Union. Forget just Ukraine. Russia doesn't. recognize Ukraine as a country, but it. doesn't stop there. It's all of Eastern. Europe. Russia says that's ours. You You.

don't get Eastern Europe. What are you. doing? So that's Russia's view. They say we. don't want to do a ceasefire. A. ceasefire just allows Zelenskyy to rearm. and get more weapons and interceptors. That's what Russia's view is. Zelenskyy's view is we just want to. freeze the borders where they are. We. want a ceasefire at the current border. and we want security guarantees that if. we do that, that the US and Europe will protect us. if we are invaded again.

And Kushner and Wittcoff were like, you. know what would be a good idea? Let's do. the security architecture. And Europe's. like, no, not the security architecture. You know, do the Ukraine deal that Trump. promised he would do in 2024. You don't. make it a bigger deal. If you can't. handle the smaller deal, you don't go, oh, we're going to make a bigger deal. involving all of Europe, right? Europe's like, get the hell out. of here, you freaking losers. What are. you talking about? You're not talking. about our security architecture. What.

the hell is going on here? So, that's where we're at today. First 20. minutes of the show, I wanted to frame. this is where we are in the world. You. can't just do videos on one piece. Yeah, it's a story. Jim Jordan became the. leader for the MAGA Republicans when. they're in the minority. Sure. You know, yes, we could talk about Hexit. impeachment today, what that means, what. the ramifications are. Of course, we'll. talk about that. We'll cover the Hexit. impeachment. You know, we'll talk about.

inflation surging, what that means, the. bond market, the Treasury yields all. over 5%, the 10, the 20, the 30 year, really, really bad right now. Mortgage. rates skyrocket, really bad stuff. But. you have to understand the connections. here because these forces are global, national, and very local. And we have to understand where is all. this coming from? What's the bigger. picture here as this globalist.

authoritarian network want to screw you. over? That's what the American people. started recognizing in this election, that wait a minute. These oligarchs, these trumpers, they. hate this country. They hate us. This is the Epstein class against. everybody else. That's what it and. they're trying to divide us against each. other by bullying marginalized groups. and launching culture war over this, over Although I'll be clear, it's not a.

culture war when you attack a. marginalized community. That's a people. It's a group of people who deserve to. have their dignity protected. You. understand? But they then launch other culture wars, this or that. It's just to divide us. against each other. So these. transnational, pan-national oligarchs. who don't like countries, they don't. care. They just want to use countries to. take out all the resources. for them to get rich. And then they'll. go and they'll they'll they'll take. their islands in Albania, the Sazan, and.

they'll take this island and that island. for them and then just and just feast on. on everybody else. That's what they're trying to do. All. right.

So this must be our. breaking news. So moments ago, MAGA Mike.

Johnson, the lamest of lame duck losers, who by the way, I don't think he's even. going to be a Congress member in the. 120th session. He says he wants to start. a lawn mower business, which is great. except he'll probably be awful at it. He'll probably tell people that the. grass is cut when it's actually. overgrown and then call up Donald Trump. and say, Donald, um but but do you like. it? And Donald Trump will be like, no, I. don't like a MAGA Mike. And MAGA Mike. will be like, ah okay, then. I'm MAGA Mike. I'm going to cover up.

child sex trafficking for you, Donald, as a lawn mower. Not really sure where I. was going with that one, but landed it, I guess. Here's MAGA. Here's MAGA Mike at the press conference. before where he says, Jim Jordan is a. very honest broker. Yeah, Jim Jordan, who before going to Congress covered up. sex abuse, rampant sex abuse by a doctor. at a university. An an honest broker. Honest. Jim Jordan, Mr. Honest Broker. Okay,

MAGA Mike, you freaking loser. Here, play this clip. >> The election of Jim Jordan say about the. lessons you all learned from last week's. election. >> I think the election of Jim Jordan is a. a sign of uh the members confidence in. him. Um I mean both of these candidates. got big uh big big packs of support. Um. but but um Jim is a known entity, a. trusted uh voice, a trusted leader. Uh. he's an honest broker. He's a good man. He's a fighter. And uh I think that.

that's the the signal that is being sent. here that we're they're ready. we are ready to dig in for the fight. And uh I think Jim's going to do a great. job with that. >> Jim Jordan, what was the biggest. >> Jim Jordan is an honest broker the way. Epstein was an honest broker, I suppose. What am I talking about? He's an I like. the most dishonest individual I know. But I mean, look, folks, you know, it's probably a good thing. that Jim Jordan's going to be leading. the minority. I mean, the guy is an. idiot. The guy is a loser. People hate him. I.

mean, is actually like in terms of who would. be the worst person. remaining. that MAGA Republicans can now have as. their leader. after these elections. You'd be like, I. don't know. Lauren Boebert, well, she's out. She. lost her race. Anna Paulina Luna, yeah, but. no one really knows her. I mean, some. people do and we reported on her, but. you whatever. Jim Jordan, yeah, that. guy, the worst.

Jim Jordan, a home run for a generationally growing. Democratic coalition. So we shouldn't even complain. Let let. him be the minority leader. More Jim. Jordan, let's see him every day. Let's. see Jim Jordan, you know, on TV. Fantastic. That's, you know, he's literally a vomit-inducing. creature. So great. Let's let's have. him. So then, you know, as Donald Trump. continues down this lunatic psychotic.

spiral of his, he calls in his first the first day. basically of Stephen Miller as chief of. staff. It's like uh it's like Looney Tunes in. the White House right now. I mean, for. real. I mean, this collapses a sight to. behold. So Donald Trump calls into. C-SPAN. like uh like a middle schooler. And I. say like a middle schooler because I. don't know if I called into C-SPAN as a. middle schooler, but I would call into. the Public Broadcast Network that they.

would do. they would do all locally on Long. Island. There was a channel. I don't. know if it was channel 1 or 12. I forget. which it was. But they would have this. show where this guy would bring on all. of these pets. And it was really poorly. produced. And he would just have all. these pets. It wasn't like even she just. was like a guy with pets. And he would. take these calls. And I would love to call him. And I. would find it so funny. And I would call. him and I would giggle. And then when I. would have like my in middle school when. I would have like you know girlfriend.

like who let's call let's call the guy. who who who let's call him let's call. him. I'm like okay what's the name of. your parrot? [laughter]. What is your parrot really? You know. what I mean? You know that that's what. you that's what you did as a middle. schooler. Maybe in your middle school. you didn't call into the Public. Broadcast Network and joke around. I. didn't do it a lot. I wasn't. disrespectful. Um but maybe I'm. oversharing. But Donald Trump, the. commander in chief. as we have our economy absolutely in.

shambles. There's a catastrophic war. that we're in right now. Everything is going wrong. And he calls. into C-SPAN and you hear a lady that. sounds like Natalie Harp giggling. You're like what the hell is going on. here? What the hell is happening here? Here play this clip. >> And it looks like we've got a call from. the White House. Um. Mr. President, welcome to Washington. Journal Prime Time.

>> [laughter]. >> Well thank you Mimi and good luck with. the show. And I've watched you numerous. times and you do a great job but good. luck with the show. >> All right. She ended up conducting. though one of the worst interviews. I'm. not even going to play anymore of it. She was like so what do you like about. C-SPAN? And then she just let him like. ramble. It was like literally the worst. interview imaginable. Um although I. guess it highlighted further how. psychotic he is. And by the way do you. remember in February somebody who said. they were John Baron called in and it. sounded like Trump? Maybe it was someone.

just doing the voice. I maybe it was. actually him. calling in as John Baron. Just remember. in the 80s and the 90s Donald Trump had. a alternate personality called John. Baron, who was his publicist, but it was him. And he would call around town to all the. gossip places as John Baron. And he. would say, yeah, I'm John Baron, you. know, Donald Trump's doing this, Donald. Trump's doing that, Donald Trump. This. is what this guy's always been a lunatic. his whole life. His whole life he's been a bankrupter, a.

lunatic, a sex predator. He's. disgusting. He's disgusting. He's disgusting. Here he is over here. doing this press conference yesterday. And the reporter asks him, look, so are. you going to bring up the case of Jensen. Wang. of Jensen Wang when you are. with Xi Jinping? He's going to this. APEC, A P E C, APEC. It's Asian Pacific.

conference. in in a few days. Are you going to bring. up Jensen Wang Wang with. with Xi Jinping? Here, play this clip. >> Are you going to bring up the case of. Jensen Wang with President Xi when you. visit with him next week? >> No, I don't think so. I mean, maybe I'm. sure President Xi will ask me about it. I just know Jensen very well. I just. think he's a very honorable man. I mean, he's he's a.

>> bring him I guess. Why would I bring it. up? Why would I bring it up? Why would. you bring Why would you bring up if they. may be spying. on the company that at least was, I'm. not sure if they will remain, the most valuable US company by market. cap that has hoisted up the entire. semiconductor industry here in the. United States. I also want you to remember. what Biden did though with the Chips Act. to actually help companies like Nvidia.

and Dell. and. this whole tapestry of semiconductor. companies. that as soon as Trump took office just. went completely unrestrained. And Trump turned a blind eye, and then. he took stakes in these companies, the. Intels of the world, right? They were given money under the CHIPS. Act if they met very specific criteria.

If they met very specific goals and. objectives. That's what the purpose of. the CHIPS Act was. It's a bipartisan. bill, and it actually was working. And it would have resulted in actually a. lot of growth. from the semiconductor industry. But. what Trump did is say, you know what? The money that was tied to you meeting. certain objectives, goals, national. security obligations, Trump was just. like, you know what? We're just going to.

take because he's a communist. Trump's a. communist, authoritarian communist. Like, we're just going to take stakes in. your companies. You know, with Nvidia, Trump was like, you can sell the H200. chips to China, but we get 20% of the. sale. You're you can sell your chips to the. United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi. You can. sell it there. By the way, the Blackwell. chip, the most highly classified chip goes to. the UAE. And then, right around the same.

time, the UAE puts their money where? In the Witkoff Trump World Liberty. Financial. And you can say, well, what a. coincydink. What a coincidence. We gave them access. to the most highly classified chip, the. one beyond the H200, the Blackwell. And then Donald Trump and Witkoff's. company, they then they then get all of this. money from Abu Dhabi. And where's Jared.

Kushner and Witkoff today? Abu Dhabi. Oh, they're the ones who also brokered. the deal as the straw man, as the. intermediary, the secret deal that had. Russia take over the liquefied natural. gas of Alaska. using Abu Dhabi. Oh, interesting, interesting. That's where this meeting is taken. That's why I say, folks, is, you know, this is what we need. This are the.

biggest stories out there that aren't. getting covered in the press. You know, the press wants to do a story about. still the gamification of politics. And. I understand there's an allure to that. It's not unimportant, you know, who's up. or who's down in a given day. But we need to build something. generational here. So we need to. understand what these connections are. that the Epstein class, these. transnational, pan-national. oligarchs, this is what they do. This is.

how they interact with each other and. screw us all over. That's why things are. more expensive. That's why there's a. housing crisis. That is why there's all. of these catastrophic wars. That's why. all of this is That's why the whole. world is in such disorder right now. The. Epstein class was plotting it, planning. it. In addition to the child sex. trafficking that's in the Epstein files, you can see all of these connections. that exist today. The royal families in.

the Middle East, some of these leaders. of this organization and that. organization. And why do you think. Trump's name appears over and over and. over and over again? Trump's name is in. those Epstein files that we know about. And there's far more that we don't know. about cuz they're covering up millions. of documents. Still, his name appears more in the Epstein. files than the name Harry in all of the. Harry Potter books combined. More than. Jesus or God in the Bible. That's how much his name is in the.

Epstein files. That's sick. That's sick. A reporter from MSNBC now asked Donald. Trump, it seems like Putin keeps. ignoring you, man. So what do you think? He keeps ignoring your demand. So when. are you going to acknowledge that? Watch. Donald Trump's response. Let's play it. >> You've given Vladimir Putin multiple. deadlines over the last 22. to enter into a ceasefire but also to. meet directly with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He is repeatedly ignored your demands. Yet you have provided He has provided. even. Has he been fighting us in the war?

Yeah, you Let me ask you this question. Who you with? Who you with? >> MS Now it's a fake That's. MS Now. gets the worst ratings in their history. Used to be MSDNC. It's one of the worst. You're a fake network. Go ahead. >> Yeah, that's why that guy needs to go. Donald Trump is not qualified. He's unfit.

That behavior. we condemn it. The American people. repudiate it and rebuke it. It's. disgusting. It's disgusting. Just answer the. question, you loser. You sicko. You sex predator. You felon. Answer the. question or get the hell out of there, you freaking loser. You embarrass us. You shame us. You shame American. history. You disgusting traitor you. You're disgusting. You make us all want. to puke. You are sick.

Answer the freaking Oh, fake news, fake. news, fake news, you're fake news. No, you're a loser. You're a bankrupter. That's how the American people feel. about you and the entire MAGA movement. right now is a group of you and Jim. Jordan and MAGA Mike, a bunch of. freaking losers. And we're done with it. And the American. people are not silent about it anymore. The American people are standing strong.

That's what the election showed. That's. how we feel today. We'll see what your approval starts to. look like next week. I suspect it'll be. in the 20s. I suspect you You pick Stephen Miller. and Jim Jordan. Inflation continues to go up. People. continue to get screwed right now. Yeah, I suspect your approval will be dipping. into the twenties very soon because you. are an absolute disgusting, abhorrent. creature that the American people hate.

Here's what Donald Trump says about Iran. during that press conference that just. in case we've got another aircraft. carrier in the just in case. Here, play. this clip. >> munitions than at any time in the. history of our country. We just had just in case we had another. aircraft carrier, we have many. sailing over and just arriving. in the Middle East, so we have three. and they're all locked and loaded and. hopefully we don't have to use them. >> have so many family members of active.

duty service members are not able to. share. everything that's going on because their. children are unable to share it or their. husband or their wives or whomever. overseas is not able to share it. But they know. that that lunatic, that that traitor, that that sex predator, that that felon. should not be responsible. for the lives.

of their loved ones. And that's the biggest understatement. They are terrified as like, oh, I guess. we're going to use their aircraft. carrier and we're going to we're going. to make them pay. We're going to make. them pay. Trump has made. a lot of service members complicit in. his war crimes, slaughtering little. children in Menab and Lemaire, slaughtering people at a wedding in. Sirik and other areas. And that's why you have also massive,

massive. mental health issues and massive PTSD. There's a lot of reasons why though. amongst active duty service members. about people who are returning, people. who are involved in in whatever the hell. this is. And Trump's like, deal, deal, deal. We're so close to a deal, deal, deal, deal, deal, deal. No. We're not. And the way you so cavalierly. talk about aircraft carriers, you're. using the United States military right. now in the Middle East.

as basically. providing what? Air coverage. for tankers. and some cargo ships to leave the Strait. of Hormuz, which was open before this. catastrophic war. You've turned the entire US Navy, our proud US Navy, our aircraft. carriers, which are war fighters, which. should only be used in the most extreme. of circumstances, not this catastrophic. war of choice that you and Netanyahu got.

into in order to cover up the Epstein. files. But you've turned our armed. forces and our proud Navy into like a. what? At best, a shuttle service. for VLCCs, very large crude carriers, to leave the Strait of Hormuz that now. bring out 10 million barrels a day when. before the war it was 20 million barrels. a day. And then every day we hear about at. least one tanker, usually multiple, getting struck in the Strait of Hormuz.

That's the role of the Navy when people. signed up to protect our country. They're providing guidance for oil. tankers in a strait that was open before. this war. And then Trump's like, well, they the Middle East countries like the. status quo. They don't like the status. quo. They're all losing so much money. right now. They don't like the status. quo. You have Ansar Allah, the Houthi. striking Saudi Arabia. You've got Dubai and Abu Dhabi having a. massive tourism plunge.

You've got the whole area right now. struggling, suffering right now, as is. the whole world. But what they're working on behind the. scenes is that new security architecture. with China and Russia to replace the. United States as Treasury Secretary. Yellen begs Beijing for help. with the Strait of Hormuz. But this is what Donald Trump's done his. whole life, right? why when I talk about. his past,

when I talk about his bankruptcies, this. is what he does. He doesn't know what. he's doing. And he surrounds himself with idiots and. other traitors and war criminals and. equally vile, unqualified people. And. then they just go, we doing it. We're. doing it. We we're winning. We won. We. won. I mean, that was Hexit's press. conference this morning where he only. called on far right-wing media outlets. Why would I get impeached for victory? Why would I get impeached for victory?

Anyway, let's take our last quick break. of the show. We'll be right back. Still. got a lot to discuss. Get your copy of. WTF America the way out of this hell and. back to democracy.

Breaking News. Special shout out to all. of our sponsors. They support our show. Support our sponsors if you can. Discount codes are in the description. below, folks. Even Kevin Hassett, Donald. Trump's national economic advisor who. tries to spin all the bad economic. numbers, he couldn't this morning. He just said, it's bad. It's bad. It's bad. Play this clip.

>> You say slightly hotter inflation and a. virtual certainty from the market at. least that the Fed raises rates in. December. What say you on that? >> Right. Well, well, there's no doubt that. you guys are right that it's a it's a. disappointing report. that we had this period in the summer. You and I talked about it back then. where core got all the way down over a. three-month average to about 1 and 1/2. annual rate, but then things have. accelerated over the last three months. And you know, my friend EJ that you just.

quoted, I think he characterized it. pretty well what we're seeing in the. data, which is really uh energy prices. in the CPI are up 20% year-over-year, and gasoline prices are up 37%. year-over-year. And uh we had so much. good news throughout the year like lower. drug prices and everything that it kept. things from you know heading in the. wrong direction on the wrong trajectory. But right now the trickle down from the. higher energy prices is definitely very. palpable in the data. >> And a little disappointing for you. Got. that. Now I'm going to change the. subject. I want to talk about.

>> I'm going to change the subject right. now. I finally got Kevin Hassett to say. that things are going bad, but perfect. time to change the topic. Let's talk. about unicorns and rainbows right now. Let's talk about let's talk about how. dangerous socialism is going to be, right? Let's completely change What do. you mean change the topic? Dude just. said. Here. maybe just think about it. If you're. doing this interview. maybe you say, hey Kevin.

what may have happened over the summer. that led to inflation going down? What. happened in those months? Oh, wait a minute. There was a. memorandum of understanding between the. US and Iran where the Strait of Hormuz. was opened and oil was getting out and. that resulted in inflation going down. during a temporary deal that was. reached. But then what happened? Oh, wait. The United States then sent Marco Rubio.

to the Middle East to then cut a deal. with Netanyahu. and Lebanon that allowed Israel to stay. in southern Lebanon. And then Rubio told. the Middle East countries that despite. what the MOU said. don't unfreeze the funds that were. promised to Iran in the MOU. Don't do. it. Oh, what else? There wasn't a ceasefire in the region. because Netanyahu continued to occupy. southern Lebanon and then started. striking other areas right away in order.

to provoke the end of the MOU. Oh, then. what else happened? Oh, the US then set. up a southern route by Hormuz, in the. Strait of Hormuz, which they were unable. to achieve during the war, but used the. MOU period to do that. And then Iran. started striking tankers. Oh, what else? Rubio said we're never going to give. redevelopment funds to Iran. That will. never happen ever. Oh, wait, those things happened, and.

then the MOU ended. And then what happened? But you guys said there was oil glut. All of this oil was getting out of the. Strait of Hormuz. I guess it wasn't. I guess it wasn't. I guess when Iran was. striking the tankers that had the oil on. it, the oil couldn't leave when they were. being struck. being on the freaking tankers. Then the. cost of a VLCC, a very large crude. carrier, went from $30,000. before the war started each day to $1.5.

million. a day because of insurance costs and. other risk premiums that were placed. on people who are captaining, who are. captains of these very large crude. carriers. And so even though we know that there's. only 10 million barrels getting out. today, as I've been telling you all. along, I think I've been radically. consistent on everything I've said about. what's going on, and I think it's proven. to be accurate. Which people like, oh, you're rooting you're rooting for Iran.

I'm not rooting for Iran. I'm just. telling you what the facts are. I'm. rooting for peace. I'm rooting for us not to get involved. in catastrophic wars. The best way for. me to root for my country in the United. States is to call out when we have. somebody in the Oval Office behaving. like a traitor and harming this country. When we have an admiral of CENTCOM. becoming a podcaster and acting like a. podcast bro and doing shows like, yo, man, it's Cooper here. It's Coop. You know, man, like I love I love French. fries.

You like French fries? Yeah, man. I like. the French fries. You like to dip? You. like to dip your French fries with. ketchup? Yeah, at CENTCOM we like to dip. french fries. Should we touch french. fries? Yeah, let's do it. Bro, I'm watching. Why is Admiral Brad Cooper. doing a weird podcast about eating. french fries? So so Coop, what would you. do if you weren't the commander of. CENTCOM? Oh man, I'll tell you what I. would I would just. I would just chug some beers, man.

I kid you not. This is what the guy. said. I would do a I don't want to work. I would just be at a beach drinking. beers each day. Oh yeah, man. That's. what you would do. But what would you. do? You like basketball? Yeah, I like basketball, but like. I'm not sure I could do that year round. cuz it's seasonal, but I could be at the. beach when I'm not I'm like you're. CENTCOM commander. What are you doing? What are you doing? When you're not. doing the podcast, you're posting what? That the Strait of Hormuz is open and. everything's doing good? No. Kevin.

Hassett, the reason that things were. better for a short period of time in the. summer, which actually probably wouldn't. have. or would have resulted in Donald Trump. and these MAGA Republicans not doing as. bad in the midterms. They would have. been rewarded. Just think about this. They would have been rewarded for. getting involved in a catastrophic war. and then doing the MOU if these idiots, if these traitors could just stick to. the MOU. But they couldn't even do that. They would have got rewarded. I'm like, oh man, they did the MOU. What a deal.

They're the arsonists and then they. tried to do a little band-aid on it, which by the way, that band-aid I told. you at the time. I Yeah, of course it was a US surrender, but that's what you have to do. We lost. the war. You You don't You don't pretend to win. when you lose the war. We lost the war. That's what happens. Our bases were. destroyed. The logistical depot and. Bahrain was destroyed. All of our. equipment We ran out of weapons. We lost. the war. Okay, you have two aircraft. carriers that are in the Arabian Sea.

That's not winning a war. You know, okay, you're you're you're shooting your. pirates. The The Our Our proud navy is pirates. We just shoot We shoot ships that leave, that are trying to bring medicine and. food into Iran? By the way, you don't think that they. can figure out ways to do this outside. of the Strait of Hormuz? I mean, the. Strait of Hormuz is the most convenient, but look at the border of Iran, right? You have these idiots in the Trump. regime like they you saw their new one, Operation Iron Clad.

Okay, Operation Iron Clad. What What's. this one? Midnight Hammer, Epic Fury, American Freedom Iron Clad. Okay, well, what's What is Iron Clad? We're going to. We're going to have 20 people in Tampa. Why Tampa? Oh, because Bahrain's. destroyed. Okay, we're going to have 20. people, 20 in Tampa. run this special group that's going to. try to stop Iran from shipping using the. land borders. Okay, well, first off,

it's November. You just figured this one. out that there's land borders and. there's something called the Caspian. Sea. Well done just for figuring that. out. But do you know the countries that. even border Iran? Okay, you're going to. tell the Taliban and Afghanistan, guys, Admiral Brad Cooper here with a new. podcast, and I'm telling you, we really. want you to not allow Iran to use your. You understand, Taliban? You under We're.

going to tell Pakistan that. You know. how big the Shiite population in. Pakistan is? Good luck with that. You. want to know why they have a field. marshal in Pakistan right now? Because it's a very tenuous dictatorship. over it. Who else are you going to tell, Turkey? You're going to tell Turkey? You're going to tell Turkmenistan, a. neutral country? Who Who Explain to me the plan here with. You're going to tell Iraq? Iraq announced its borders are open. yesterday. You saw the amount of people who showed. up in Iraq for Ayatollah Khomeini's.

funeral, millions of people. There's a. massive Shiite population in Iraq. Your. plan is to cause another sectarian civil. war in Iraq, which is close to happening. right now? That's the game plan over. there? No. When you see the Mecca pact, right? Of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, I. believe Syria is going to be joining it. as well, probably Egypt as well. When. they meet with Tehran, then there's. meetings with Wang Yi in China, then. there's meetings with Sergei Lavrov and. Putin in Moscow. And then Mohsen Rezaee,

the top advisor to Ayatollah Mohammad. Bagher Ghalibaf, talks about new. security architecture in Iran. They're. talking about the new West Asian. security architecture which China and. Moscow lead against you, Trump. Against you, idiot. They're not helping. They're They're. announcing how they're helping. And. they're helping on nuclear. They're helping on the thing. [laughter]. They're helping on nuclear facilities, not just Bushehr nuclear plant, which is.

a JV between Iran and Russia. They're. helping on other nuclear plants that. they're building. They're saying it. publicly. I'm I'm I can show I show everybody the. press conferences and the videos where. they talk about all of this. So that's actually what's going on right. now. So I don't know, if we wanted to. solve inflation, how would we do it, folks? How would we figure it out? I. don't know. I don't know. It's so hard. It escapes me. What could we do? What. could we do? What happened in the. summer? What Oh, MOU Maybe we just do.

that. Maybe we You already signed the. thing like Rubio today. I'm not going to. I showed the clips earlier. Rubio's. like, why would we do bad deal terms? You did it already. They're in the MOU. Why would you sign that if you don't. like it? What's your game plan? Maybe. think about this before getting involved. in a catastrophic war. It's very easy to. resolve this situation. And it may be. like, well, Ben, how is it that easy? It's very easy. The US take the two. aircraft carriers, get the hell out of. the region. The military bases have. already been destroyed, so we barely. even need to do anything there since we. don't really have any troops there to.

begin with. So leave over there. Then. what you do is when Iran is out there, and if they still have the Strait of. Hormuz shut down after you leave, then. build an international coalition and. say, you see, we left, they still are. closing the Strait of Hormuz. Now rally. an international coalition and and then. try to build popular support, which I. doubt exists. But you lost the war. There's nothing else you can do. You. know, lean on your Arab nation allies or. former allies in the region. Have them.

take the regional security in it of. itself. Have a more arms-length. relationship. They're not going to have. the bases that that's the only solution. right now. That's solution one. Solution. two is you do a catastrophic you. escalate. You do a draft, which I don't. want to do. I don't want to be in this. war in the first place. You do a draft. You draft hundreds of thousands of US. soldiers, um young Americans. You send them to war. because if you're actually Netanyahu's. talking about regime change. So if you. actually want to engage in what you.

think will be regime change, which will. still fail at, expect to take 30 to. 50,000 casualties a month. No one wants that. So then if you're not. going to do that, which we shouldn't do, the solution is pretty obvious. Just get. out. That's your only option. But what. Trump's going to do because he's a. bankruptor, he's just going to continue. to be he's going to do the fraud. Who am. I going to blame? Is it Zelensky's. fault? Is it the Democrats' fault? It's. their fault. It's this Who's fault? It's. never my fault. Hey Natalie, come here.

Sit on my lap. You want to call C-SPAN? [laughter]. Go say C-SPAN, I love your show. I love. your show. And it 's like, dude, you're. an idiot. You're a bankruptor. You're a. loser. You're covering up child sex. trafficking. You're all over the Epstein. files. You're a sex predator. You're. disgusting. Just stop it. Just get the. hell out of the region. Make the. decision. Just just you want to say you. won, say you won, but then get the hell. out of there. It'll cause inflation to go down. We can. try to get back to normal. We'll have to. rebuild and figure out what the hell the. future security architecture looks like, but you lost. So what are they going to.

do? They're going to just keep this. awful status quo of we're still at a war. right now for what the next two years? And then a Democratic president, whoever. comes in next, has to deal with this. mess. And then all the Trump and MAGA, oh your fault. Then they become deficit. hawks and debt hawks and and again and. China hawks and all of a sudden they're. they're hawks hawks hawks hawks. They're. just hawks all of a sudden again, right? These losers, that's why we can't forget. this moment. That's why independent. media is so damn important now. Yeah, we.

need to impeach Hexa. Yeah, elections. are important. Yeah, we need to impeach. RFK. Yeah, we but we also need to. understand this moment and what's. actually happening. And we need to you. know, we have sometimes as a country. with all of the stimuli with social. media, with algorithms, with all of. these things that are used by the. oligarchs to try to distort our brain. and our thinking and they put trillions. of dollars. They want to create this. goldfish brain where we just forget, we. forget, we forget that Trump is the guy. who screwed up COVID, right? And that.

Biden was the guy who was trying to fix. it. It's like, oh wait, no, no, no, it's. Biden who's doing it. Why? Because the. algorithms were pushing that. There was. a whole corporate news that was pushing. It's Biden, Biden's fault, Biden's. fault, Biden's fault. What we can forget. is this moment. Who are the arsonists? It's Trump, it's all of these Trumpy people, it's. the MAGA Republicans, but then it's a deeper global. authoritarian network, pan national, transnational, right? It's the Bolsonaros, it's the. Javier Milais, it's all of these people.

who are out there um and the Putins who. are out there. wanting to sow chaos. and then destroy our stability and then. pick pocket us and then loot from us and. then keep us oppressed. That's what. their goal is. All right, I'll leave you with that. We'll keep we'll we'll we'll make sure. we cover the Hexa impeachment, we'll. cover all this other stuff. Um WTF. America is our book. We appreciate you. Get the hard cover, get the ebook, get. all of it right now. We're thankful for. you, we're grateful for you.

Oh, let me talk about this as well. It's. a good it's a good point. I I always. like to on these episodes uh talk about. issues regarding climate. Um and I think. it's important because it's often times. understated what's going on right here.
