LIVE: War ESCALATES…NUKES and 10K TROOPS?!!! 10/1/2026

Welcome to Ben on breaking news. I'm Ben. Mecelis. This is your breaking news. Moments ago, we learned that there were. explosions heard in Sana. That's the. Ansarala or Houthi capital in Yemen. The. Houthis stated that they would have. severe retaliation against Saudi Arabia. if their capital of Sana was struck. We're going to be following these. developments throughout this live and. throughout the evening to determine what.

happened and what the Ansarala Houthi. response is going to be. Meanwhile, we. also learned that Iran struck another. tanker in the straight of Hormuz. The UK. MTO is now reporting that that took. place. Um, it took place about two hours. ago, but we now have the final. confirmation that it did indeed happen. a tanker on fire there. This follows at. least three potentially four other. tankers struck in the straight of Hormuz.

also in the past 48 hours by Iran's. IRGC. We also are learning that China is. putting on certain export controls over. its diesel over the diesel that its. refineries are exporting. um this as the. cataclysmic consequences of Donald. Trump's war in Iran. It's being felt. throughout the world on the news of. China's export controls. We're seeing.

Brent and WTI crude surge yet again. You'll recall earlier this week, the. Trump regime spent ample time trying to. manipulate the markets every single. moment and they were able to manipulate. the paper markets of crude for a few. days actually. Meanwhile, the actual. marketplace for refined distillate like. the diesel and the gas that comes from. refineries, those were still hitting.

record highs. It's why we talk a lot on. the Midas Touch podcast and on Ben on. breaking news about the crack spreads, right? The difference between what. refineries are selling gas and diesel. for versus uh what the paper price of. crude is Brent and WTI because that. paper market is subject to a lot of. manipulation that we've been talking. about. MB Galabaf, Iran's parliament. leader. He's been making social media.

posts just trolling the United States. and trolling Donald Trump for saying. that oil prices are coming down and the. straight of Hormuz is opened. And we. know that's not the case. The straight. of Hermuz is controlled by Iran. And we. know that the flow of oil has been. severely curtailed. The American people. see what's happening. Donald Trump's. approval hitting record lows. I mean, when it comes to the issue of the. economy, Donald Trump's approval across.

all relevant polling entities, it's like. in the low 20s uh at this point. Um, and. we're seeing the map shift even more. blue on all of these polls, both in. terms of the Senate and the House. Donald Trump claiming this is all fake. polls, fake polls, fake polls. And then. he was of course ranting and raving like. a lunatic um throughout the day. And in. that Time magazine article, did you see. that where he would be asked questions. about AI and he would say, "Did you know.

about my uncle?" And the reporter would. be like the I don't know the professor. in MIT from like 40 years ago who's been. dead for a long time. Is that Yeah. Yeah. I believe in genes, man. I believe. in genes. I have the highest of IQ's. I. have the highest Because my uncle, we. have the same genes. He was a professor. at MIT. I mean, this guy's an absolute. lunatic. This isn't political messaging. I'm not telling you vote this way or. vote that way. The guy's a freaking. lunatic. He's a liar. He's a lunatic.

And um you know as I showed you uh was I. I dropped the video yesterday. We spoke. with a pro- Houthi reporter uh Hussein. al-Bahhati and he talked about how. everybody was just like laughing at. Donald Trump at just how he behaved in. front of she and Trump is the. laughingstock in front of the world but. also kind of terrifying what a lunatic. and psycho he is and you know as we're. seeing uh the uh just instability.

throughout the world of course I mean. you have Putin and uh the Kremlin. yesterday putting out a statement. that if NATO makes any moves towards. Kalinrad, which is a city kind of. nestled between a lot of European. countries, it's not actually attached to. the contiguous uh Russia. Uh but Russia. says, "We will use nuclear weapons. against you if you take any actions. against Kinugrad." Um, and so you had.

those statements going out and as we've. pointed out here, Russia has developed. these new drones, the Garen 4, the Garen. 5. Um, the Garen 5 I view as kind of a. hybrid drone cruise. The Garin 4. jetfueled powered. uh drone, very hard to strike down. Zalinsky used to in Ukraine had a 90%. interception rate on the drones, about a. 0% interception rate on the ballistics. Now the drone interception rates around. 51% on those Garen fours, even less on.

the Garen fives. I would put it more. like 20% and still a 0% interception. rate on the ballistics. We're seeing. Keev get hit hard, Zia get hit hard. We're seeing areas close to Donesk Oblas. being hit very hard. Um it's going to be. a very difficult winter and this seems. to be exactly what Trump and Putin. wanted. Uh when it comes to uh Kev, look, Sinsky is still doing everything. he can to strike back. We're covering uh.

some of those strikes at the logistical. centers taking place uh in Russia based. on Zalinsky rolling out. Also, the FP7. um which is an upgrade from the other. flamingos that we were talking about, the Fireoint.1, the Fire. to long range. hitting 1500 2,000 in some cases even by. like Siberia like 3,000 kilometers. Um. but we're certainly seeing escalation. there. Putin is talking about nuclear. using nuclear weapons if Kalinrad um is.

uh taken or if there's any strikes. there. And Donald Trump meanwhile is. threatening NATO. Um, we saw Donald. Trump say that he would not meet with. certain NATO countries in Poland next. month, which he's expected to meet with. He said, "I I won't meet with them if. they're on my naughty list." So, there's, this is not like me being. hyperbolic, the Trump regime has created. a naughty list, and the UK, France, and.

some other countries are on the naughty. list. So, they're not invited to the. NATO meeting coming up. There's also a. working group uh that deals with NATO's. future and the plans for 2030 and. beyond. And if you're on the naughty. list, you're banned from that working. group according to the Trump regime. Now, look, I've had a lot of people. watch the videos I've made and when I've. worried out loud that NATO exists in. name only right now, some of your.

comments were, Ben, it's the United. States that's basically withdrawn from. NATO. you still have NATO pretty much. under the control of Europe right now. And so it exists, it functions as kind. of a NATO plus or NATO minus, whatever. you want to call new NATO, which is NATO. without the United States. Sure. Um, you. know, but that's like saying, you know, pick your favorite sports team. Yeah, we've got that sports team, but without. who used to be the starting lineup. And.

so, sure, it exists. I get it. But when. fundamentally the main player that put. it together isn't a part of it, that. should cause real alarm and we shouldn't. understate what that means. And so I. apologize if I was hyperbolic in saying. NATO exists in name only. It wasn't an. attempt to fear Monger. It was simply to. point out that the US is mainly. responsible for forging the NATO. alliance. And when that entity withdraws.

and attacks NATO, I have to kind of call. it out what uh it is. Meanwhile, the. Trump regime appears to be um ramping up. for further escalation against Iran, at. least after the midterms, of course, maybe sooner. About 10,000 Marines and. other members of our military are being. sent now to the Middle East. You have. the USS Theodore Roosevelt that's taking. off. um and sailing from uh its current.

position right now, I believe in San. Diego. Um and it's going to be heading. to the Middle East. It will get there by. mid November. So after the midterms, literally thousands and thousands of our. service members are heading there now. That will put three carrier strike. groups in the area. Lots of amphibious. assault uh ships there. And so you can. see things clearly escalating there. And. then you've had these incidents that. deserve scrutiny. I'll just say they.

deserve scrutiny. Um, and I I hear you. loud and clear that there are a lot of. question marks behind these incidents. And I think that would be putting it. lightly that there are question marks. behind what's going on here. And in. normal times, I don't think we would. doubt what we are being told and fed. But in these times, I think we have to. put our guard up and ask serious.

questions. And so that's what we'll do. here at the Midas Touch Network. It's. not my job to fearmonger or to say. here's definitely what happened. I'll be. very clear with the disclaimer that I. don't know, but I have a lot of. questions. So this Fly Dubai airplane. incident that took place um where you. had this Indian pilot with an Omani. co-pilot. You'll see the image in the. video right there. The story, I suppose,

is that the Omani co-pilot stabs the. Indian captain as they were heading from. Dubai to Tel Aviv. And then the plane. suddenly drops 17,500. ft, the distance of six, what is it? Burge Khalifa skyscrapers, and it's. going straight down apparently. And then. the story is a plumber who has no. airplane experience at all who watched.

airplane crash investigation television. shows. based on that went to the control. yoke in the cockpit which was opened up. by the pilot guy with zero experience as. the plane is going down 17,000 ft and. then he pulls up on the control yolk. causing the plane to gain altitude back. and then saving all 170 people aboard. this plane. Then there were two offduty.

pilots who were apparently on the plane. and they were the ones who eventually. landed it. That's the story that's being. told. This plumber who was the the hero. um said that he watched air crash air. crash TV shows and that's how he learned. about all of this. And then he met with. Netanyahu 11 hours after the incident. still wearing clothing that was filled. with blood and they didn't change his. outfit. So all I gave you there are the.

undisputed facts of what's being said. Okay? And I am always very careful on. this network as the co-founder of this. network other than to present to you. those facts that are being put out there. and fed. You can put in the comments and you. we're going we're going to explore. I. don't buy just the narratives that are. sold just because they're out there.

Okay. So, that's what they're pushing. We should say, "Show me more. Explain. how all of this happens." It reminds me. a little bit of when they said the F-15. pilot fell uh you know that the that the. plane was hit, the parachute didn't. work, fell thousands of feet to the. ground, the parachute didn't work, hit. the ground at a 100 miles per hour. um.

then got up, walked miles, 5, 10, 20. miles to a mountain, climbed up a 7,000. foot mountain and then was rescued over. there and then his name was Dude Bravo. He's like middle, like not even. middle-aged. Dude was like 50 years old. and he somehow got there and then he was. on uh he said the reason he did it was. because of God and God saved his life. And you know, and I'm thinking to. myself, if you hit the ground going 100. miles per hour after your plane gets.

hit, you're going to die and you're. certainly not going to be able to climb. a 7,000 foot mountain after traveling. multiple miles. I mean, you know, and. then I think about what's being told. about the Fly Dubai situation. And I. just question if you're going down. 17,000 ft at that at those speeds, you. know, someone who watches an aircraft. show on TV getting into the cockpit and. pulling it up, you know, it just is, you. know, it it it in normal times I would.

be like, okay. Um, but in these times. where the Trump regime and the Netanyahu. regime, you know, say all of these. things, I think we have to wait to get. more information because the thing is. now the Trump regime and UAE are saying. this is Iran. IRGC was likely behind. this. That's what Trump said earlier. IRGC likely behind this. They're gonna. pay for it. They're gonna pay for it. Right? So that's then the UAE is now. saying it's probably IRGC. And I'm also.

thinking like in terms of Iran's plan. controlling the straight of Hormuz. why of all things to do. that would clearly lead to an escalation. and turning world sentiment against you. if you did it and if you were going to. do that why would you be withholding. strikes from Israel right now but then. do it that way? I don't know. There's a. lot Just put it this way. There's a lot. of questions there and this is a network. where we don't just absorb and parrot.

back. We we think we're deep we're. critical thinkers over here. Then. there's the Royal Air Force Fairford. incident where they said there were five. terrorists who were captured and they're. apparently linked to Iran also. That's. the official narrative. But they were. released on bail and they didn't have. explosives on them either. They had like. empty cans of oil and apparently they. were the ones who called the police so. they called the police on themselves.

and I think that's strange and then if. they are terrorists why would you. release the terrorists on bail and so. we're but we're being told that's linked. to Iran. So you have Royal Air Force. incident. You then have the Fly Dubai. incident. And again, this follows. Netanyahu meeting with MBZ, the. president of the UAE, who's the leader. of the Abu Dhabi uh one of the Emirates, the Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi. And then.

Netanyahu was saying, "Look, he's got. before the election, we expect there to. be all of these terrorist attacks. We. expect these strikes to take place. We. expect all of this to happen. we expect. all this to happen is what Netanyahu. said and then there were others in the. defense community that said there really. aren't any significant elevated risks. that normally exist and then we have. Royal Air Force incident fly Dubai. incident and now Trump and Netanyahu are. saying Iran and UAE Iran you know part.

of the Abraham Accords Iran Iran Iran. Iran Iran and Trump sending the aircraft. carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt over. there and So, you know, again, what we. do here on the Midas Touch Network, I. I'm simply laying out the facts as we. know them. You could do what you want. with them, but that's what we do. We try. to break them down here in ways that are. easy to digest and understand, form. whatever opinions you want to form from.

them. Okay? We know we have an. intelligent audience here. And I think. that that's one of the things we. appreciate about this community. We're. not trying to propagandize each other. We put it out there and you may say, "Ben, that Royal Air Force makes sense. Fly Dubai makes sense. Don't even give. me any other implications." Good. Okay. Or you may say, "I am suspicious or I'm. asking questions." Good. What? Do it. Do. do what you want to do. I'll tell you. for me a major question that I have.

aside from those incidents. And I go. back to this and I admit to you that. when I heard about the Iranian protests. uh that were purportedly democracy style. protests back in January um and we were. told that there were 12,000 protesters. who were killed by Iran and the IRGC. I. never would have fathomemed that I would. not believe that number. And in fact I. would say I this is what we're being. told you know in January. Um, this was.

before the catastrophic war in Iran. where I think Trump basically did the. equivalent of a coach showing you the. playbook of how they what what plays. they're going to call before they call. them and like, "Oh, that's what you're. doing." And so I heard 12,000. I would. never I saw the protests taking place. I. would never think 12,000 people were not. who who makes that up. But then what. I've been seeing is then the Trump. regime said it was 30,000. Then they. said it was 35,000. Then they said it.

was 40,000. Then they said it was. 50,000. Then last week they said it was. 60,000 protesters who were killed. And. then this week, today in that Time. magazine article, they said it's. somewhere between 70, this is what Trump. said, 70,000 to 72,000 protesters were. killed by Iran. And so when you're. willing to now make up the number 12,000. to 72,000, the question that I genuinely. ask then is was there 12,000 or was it.

more like 3,000 or 4,000? And was the. United States, CIA, and MSAD, were they. the ones who were influential in this to. begin with? And what was really. happening here? things that I never. thought that I truly never thought that. I would go down this path of of of. awakening or understanding. But but when. you're telling me 12,000 a certain time. and now you're saying 72,000 and if. you're willing to lie about 72,000,

how do you know and and you lie about. everything? $21 trillion coming in and. this is happening. And what was the what. was one of the big lies that we were. told yesterday? Trump did that press. conference with the Alaska delegation, Alaska's governor, senator, we're. bringing in $54 billion from South. Korea. South Korea has agreed. They're. doing this big LNG investment in Alaska. Alaska MAGA Republicans are falling. behind in the polls, right? They're.

falling behind in the polls there um in. the Senate race and other major races. So just promised the people of Alaska. $54 billion dollars. That's never going. to happen. They announced it and what. happens today? South Korea, Soul, their. industry minister says completely false. Not doing it. We're not even past. preliminary discussions. Right. The day. before that, who' they bring into the. White House? Iowa. Iowa's delegation. Why? MAGA Republicans are trailing in. Iowa. So they bring in their candidate. for the Senate, Ashley Hinsson. MAGA.

Republican extremist over there. They. bring in all these other Iowa uh members. who are running for Congress and. elsewhere and Trump says, "Look, we're. going to be doing whatever there was 30. billion or $40 billion investment in. Iowa." And it's a company that's based. in Minnesota. I believe it is an. Indian-based company and Trump is. friends with these oligarchs over there. and they basically, in my view, make a. fake announcement giving you my opinion. of look what we're going to be doing in. Iowa. Y'all are going to get rich.

Meanwhile, the ranchers, the farmers, everybody's been screwed in the states. So, what do you do now? You just make up. fake deals. Fake deals here, fake deals. there. And so, it's all one big. fraudulent regime. And so, I go back to. where I started. It seems obvious the. Trump regime is looking to escalate. Donald Trump is this ranting and raving. lunatic. You've got Putin talking about. nuclear weapons if he says NATO makes. any move in Kenigrad. Donald Trump not. inviting NATO countries to this.

important NATO meeting in Poland. We. also heard from one of Ukraine's former. defense ministers who was saying that. not only has the Trump regime refused to. provide Patriot interceptors, but the. Trump regime also has refused to provide. certain missiles to strike the ballistic. missile launchers of Russia. About 3,000. were promised to Ukraine. That's now not. being turned over. So you you have to. just assess the totality of. circumstances for yourself about what's. going on here. And the way we just did.

this in 22 minutes, deeply. comprehensive, fact. That to me is what's needed. That's how. we get out of this hell. I want to. remind everybody WTF America is the book. I wrote with my brothers. Uh there's an. audio book here. I read the audio. So do. my brothers. Lots of people were didn't. know that there was an audio component. of this and we read the audio. It's not. like some AI voice or some other. narrator. We spent a lot of time doing. the audio. So once I said that, I saw. everybody going to get the audio. So go.

check that out. Also, there's an ebook. and a hardcover book. It comes out. October 20th, but order it now. The. pre-orders have been very, very helpful. It's dedicated to you. It's about you. It's about the mightest mighty. I say. that this community is the way out of. this hell. Let's come back.

Great sponsors. Great work, Jordy. We. appreciate the sponsors supporting us at. the Midas Touch Network. Support our. sponsors. Great dis great discount. codes. Look, when did uh the news just. decide they're not going to show what's. happening in the war? Like they just. don't show war footage anymore. When I. grew up, I mean, I remember when there. were wars, we would get to see it and. there would be people there who would. cover it and it helped inform our world.

view. Whether we were being heavily. propagandized or not, we probably were. Nonetheless, we saw some, I think, real. powerful war reporters, whether you go. back to the Vietnam era, you go back to, uh, the original Persian Gulf War, you. go back to all of these wars, it helped. us, I think, try to process it and make. sense of of all of it. Um, and that just. doesn't exist anymore. And instead you. have Trump in the Oval Office ranting.

and raving like a lunatic to go. like like when he speaks at this point. for me it's just like blah blah blah. and I mean it's just it's just like. watching it just it's just a buffoon. It's a clown according you know it's. just some stupid [ __ ] Um we we should. be seeing what's happening right when we. talk about Garin 4 Garin 5 drone. striking into Ke we should talk about. that when we talk about Zinsky striking. logistical centers and refineries in. Russia we should talk about that we.

should see it we should understand. what's happening we should be focused on. what's happening in the straight of. Hormuz there's visuals you know we. should show people what it looks like in. Manab when the Trump regime slaughters. little girls we should show what it. looks like in La Mer at a volleyball. game uh when the Trump regime slaughters. little children over there uh sports. hall over there. We we we we should be. aware of what's happening in the world. right now. And so, let me just show you. some footage right here. This is the.

past 24 hours or so uh of Russian. strikes in Ukraine. Let me show you. what's going on over here. You'll see uh. over here uh telecommunications. facilities uh that are being struck uh. over there. Um, yeah, let's let's play. the video of of what's happening as. well, too. Let's.

Yeah, maybe I have it over there. So, there you saw the drone striking into. Kev, striking into a supermarket. separately. Um, and then you saw the. telecommunications towers going down. And it does look like there was a new. style drone by Russia uh or an. alteration or an addition to the to the.

Garin series of drones that was able to. really kind of cut through some of the. Ukrainian defenses. Heading into the. winter, what we're going to see Russia. do is likely strike a lot of these uh. power facilities, try to make it a very. cold, frigid winter, try to destroy the. morale of the people uh over there. I I. did you all see what's happening here? um in that state of the force address, whatever the hell that was supposed to. be, um with Pete Hegsith and uh it was.

one of the most deranged things I've. ever seen in my life and I don't think. that's getting nearly enough attention. as well. So Pete Hegsith. um addressed uh I'm not even sure who. was even sitting there because in the. first iteration of this it was uh. generals and admirals and now I think he. brought in not the generals and the. admirals but his speech was basically. bragging about cutting 20% of admirals. and generals and getting rid of their.

positions permanently. And then he. talked about how we're an army of. patriotic cowboys with testosterone. testing. And he's not like, you know, is. he's not joking. This isn't like him. being humorous or funny. He he's a. psycho. Like he's an actual lunatic. also. And he says that he gets his. commands from the book of Isaiah. And. the book of Isaiah tells us all that we. all need to be sent to war in the Middle. East. And Isaiah says, "Send me. Send.

me. Send me to catastrophic wars and I. will die for anything. I mean, I'll just. show you what he says first. This is. where he says, "The ideological clowns. are out. The patriotic cowboys, but. their testosterone are in." Here, play. this clip. The ideological clowns are. out. The patriotic cowboys are in with. testosterone testing on top. Diversity is not our strength.

Unity is our strength because what. >> I'm literally thinking of like Manurion. defense secretary in my opinion. Also, he looks like a Simpsons character, right? I mean, he literally visually. looks painted um like painted a Simpsons. character color and the the year the. error of testosterone patriotic cowboys. with testosterone. I I I just don't know. what the hell is wrong with these. people. I don't think and I don't I.

really don't know. I mean, I was friends. with a lot of Navy Seals when I was in. college and law school and I I've lost. touch with some of those friends, but. occasionally say what's up. Um my my my. buddy was in one of the SEAL teams and. so I hung with them and I just I I I. been so busy building this network. I. should reach back out, but I you know, they're they've since no longer are are. in active duty or anything like that. But h how do you not look at this guy. like as as a total clown? I mean,

anybody who goes around bragging about. being alpha and having a lot of. testosterone, I mean, I I I just think. it's some like I just think it's some. weak [ __ ] Like, look at that. Like, what the hell are we the hell are we. even doing here? And then he goes on to. say um he does this like weird Trump. impression. The War Department, as you. know, is colorblind, genderneutral, and. merit-based. Well, you're proving that. it isn't. You should not be anywhere. near any position that's even 10 rungs.

down on the ladder from where you are. right now. Yet alone the defense. secretary. And frankly, shame on every. traitorous, treasonous Republican. senator who voted for this [ __ ]. Seriously, play this clip of him right. here. >> The War Department, as you know, is. colorblind, genderneutral, and merit-based. or as the president likes to say to me, Pete, central casting.

>> I'm just an idiot. He's just an idiot. It's not funny. He's an idiot. It's l. again, I don't care about your politics. Democrat, Republican, independent. I I. really don't. That's that's a loser. Okay? And we should not be augmenting. these loser, pathetic individuals to. positions anywhere near leadership. And. shame on people who were leaders who. normalize this stuff or who go there and. who don't call it out every damn day.

And then they announced a religious. department that they were creating in. the Pentagon. They announced they. they've created a religious division. because Hegid says that's as important. as physical fitness is your religious. fitness and you have a direct line. directly to God at the Pentagon right. now. And then he says, well, this is the. message from God that the book of Isaiah. said, all of you need to go to war. Send. me, send me, says the book of Isaiah.

That is Jesus and God's message to you. Americans. You need to die for Donald. Trump. Here, listen to what he says. Let's play it. Each of us committed to the nation with. the sentiment of the sixth chapter of. the book of Isaiah. Lord, here I am. Send me. Send me to fight the red coats. Send me to fight the communists. Send me. to fight the Islamists. Send me.

You see, the Ivy League facity faculty. lounges, they'll never understand you. And that's okay because they could never. ever do what you do. The media will. mischaria. told you. Send me to the red coats. Send. me to the Islamists. Send me No, don't. Just I just want you to think about. this, too. This Trump regime, these MAGA. con artist, snake oil salesman, they ran.

on Biden's going to send you to war. Biden's going to send you. We're going. to make sure you don't get sent to wars. Right? That's literally one of the. things they ran on. And now they changed. the name of the Defense Department to. the War Department. and their slogan is. send me based on anything you tell me. just send me to war. By the way, send me. is the in in addition to not being in. the book of Isaiah in addition to just.

being a lunatic slogan um is the exact. opposite of what our nation should be. about. The defense department shouldn't. be send me based on anything. It should. be defense. What are the values and. principles? What is it that I am. protecting? And the order should be. lawful orders, not the unlawful orders. that this war criminal regime has sent. our troops into making our troops. complicit in war crimes. And when I hear. from military families and at the Midas.

Touch Network, we hear from many. military families. And one of the things. we hear is that their family members who. are serving don't know what to do right. now because they know they are becoming. complicit in war crimes slaughtering. little children for the Epstein class. They know they're complicit when they're. on the aircraft carriers that shoot the. missiles that kill the little kids that. they are complicit and they're having. nightmares and they are feeling lots of.

uh sense of dread and depression and. they're not even getting the food and. supplies that they need. And now we're. sending another carrier to join the war. crime show that's taking place over. there. I mean, if you think about the. blockade that's taking place and what. Bessant's doing, what are they doing? They are attacking the civilians of. Iran. They're not going after the IRGC. They say the way we'll make a deal with. the IRGC and Iran's leadership is to try.

to starve the civilians to death. Again, that comes from predators. That comes. from the Epstein class thinking, right? It's sick. You are blocking civilian. supplies. You're not blocking military. supplies. By your own admission, you've. destroyed the Iranian military, which we. know is all [ __ ] and not true, but. regardless, you're stopping food and. medicine from getting into Iran. Same. thing with the blockade of Cuba. You. think you're going to win the support of. the people in Cuba by starving them? I.

mean, again, you think, well, who would. think that? Epstein class, right? Predators. The people who cover up child. sex trafficking rings are the same. people who start blowing up children's. elementary schools the moment they start. a war. Child sex trafficking ring cover. up blowing up child elementary schools. Epstein class. This is who they are. And. these sickos, these traitors, these. Epstein class oligarchs who are screwing. us all over. They're the ones who are. running our country into the ground.

Interestingly, when you read the Epstein. files, Epstein talked about all this. stuff also. And again, I'm not veering. into the land of conspiracy, although. sometimes as I articulate this, I feel. to myself like, "Okay, what are you. talking about there, Ben?" But if you. look at it, what's he talking about? He's talking about Putin taking over. Crimea in 2014, what that's going to do. to the ruble. He's talking about the. crypto, how everybody can make a lot of. money when you have all of these wars. taking place throughout the world. He's.

part of this oligarch network and he's. the middleman in this oligarch network. talking about creating fragmentation and. division and shattering the postworld. war II US architecture because in that. chaos these Epstein class people can. feast and steal all of your money and. make all of this money by exploiting. people who are panicked in this. environment. They view panic they view. that as a time for exploitation. inject. panic, make it easier to exploit. Panic.

becomes the numbing agent for their. exploitation. Remember that the panic. becomes their numbing agent for their. exploitation. And that is what they're. doing because people are so panicked and. numb that then they come in there and. then they try to overwhelming overwhelm. you with their shock and awe of all of. this uh horrific stuff that they do. which is coming from so many directions. It's hard to process. It's why we build. this community. It's why we build this.

decentralized network at the Midas Touch. Network to push back against it. That's. precisely what we're doing. Reminder, we. talk about this WTF America. I saw. people saying, "Is there an ebook?" Yes, of course there is an ebook. If you're. saying, "Ben, why do you keep on talking. about the book?" It's kind of the life's. work of us all like that I tried to. channel. I It's dedicated to the. community. It's based on the community. If something happens to me, I want this. book also to be kind of what we can do. And it's the road map that I hope.

doesn't just last short term. That would. be a failure to me. It needs to be one. of these books to me that lasts. generations and longer that we can. reflect on this moment and think about. how the collective we internationally. come together and get out of this chaos, get out of this true anarchy unleashed. on us by the Epstein class.

Thank you to all of our sponsors. They support the show. Support our. sponsors. I read your comments by the. way. So, right as we were taking the.

break, I saw someone say, "You didn't. talk at all about the nukes or the. 10,000 troops. All you're doing is. talking about the book." Okay, that's. factually incorrect. The whole first. segment was about the 10,000 troops that. were being sent by the Trump regime with. the Teddy Roosevelt aircraft carrier. That's literally what we talked about. And the nuclear threats coming from. Putin regarding Kenigrad. Then we showed. the foot. The whole 20 minutes was about. that. That's how we started off. and how. I'm showing after setting that up to.

begin with how unqualified the Trump. regime is right now and how they're. destroying the postworld war II. architecture. Then the third segment I'm. going to bring it back to domestic. politics about what's actually happening. here. So I think that it's incorrect to. say we haven't hit that. Of course we've. hit that as the main the main thing. we've been talking about on the show and. it's an important thing that we talk. about on the show. Pete Hexit. On that. point, Pete Hgsith was boasting about.

getting rid of our top generals and. admirals. And he says, "The number. crunchers say we fired 10% of the. generals." Nope. It was 20%. Watch this again. He looks like a. Simpsons character here. Here, play this. clip. Those generals who did not, who. clung to the woke department or seem to. think civilian control of the military. is simply a suggestion. Well, they no longer work here. You see, the the number crunchers say we've fired.

10% of the generals and admirals across. the force. And that number sounds about. right. And I know because I directed it. that we've also reduced the overall. number of general officer slots by an. additional 10%. So yes, 20% reduction across the board. Now the media calls that a purge. I call it accountability and long. overdue and frankly the bare minimum. As.

usual, what the media levels as an. acquis accusation. I wear as an accomplishment. You see, you can't change a culture with the same. people who enabled it. Personnel is. policy at every single level. >> Yeah. And I want to address this as well. because occasionally I'll see a comment. and I'm not one who like goes back to. the comments and goes a. be very thoughtful about it. But one of.

the critiques often is why are you doing. a video that's called all hell breaks. loose? Isn't that hyperbolic? And to. that I say it's absolutely not. hyperbolic. How would you describe. what's happening? And it's not every. video called all hell breaks loose. Occasionally there's one video a day and. it's usually about the escalation of war. from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and. Ukraine striking back in Russia where. you literally see apocalyptic scenes. that visually look like if they're what.

a hell would look like. Okay. So frankly. if there were stronger words to use I. would try to find the stronger words. I. think one of the problems that we have. is you go back to the founding of Midas. Touch when we would call out the Trump. regime as being fascist. We were often. told that's hyperbolic. You can't say. that. You can't say that they're. traitors. You can't use that language. And I would say, well, I'm looking at. behavior that shows they're fascists and. they're treasonous and they're traitors.

We should call out. We should not hide. from the fact that Trump is a sex. predator. We should call it out. We. shouldn't be normalizing this through. normal political Democrat v Republican. independent type of discourse. To me, that's one of the reasons we get put. into this hell. And I think we see as we. hit election season. All of the. corporate news wants to put this into. the horse race. This personality, that. personality, who's up, what do you think. about that? Could you believe this. person said this or what do you think.

about that person? The villains, the. heroes, they create these narratives. And for me, I think to myself, that's. how we got into this mess. Exalting. personalities, attacking personalities, you know, rehabilitating personal. It's. all about, to me, the American people, and what we're experiencing, what people. throughout the world are experiencing. right now. To me, it's about listening. and augmenting the voices of us all and. actually hearing from people who are. suffering as a result of the.

catastrophic war. people who are paying. higher gas prices and diesel prices who. can't afford anything. People whose. lives are being crushed and it's not. just here in the United States. We take. an international perspective and scope. on it. And that's how we ground our. reporting each and every day, not. through the horse race. It's interesting. if you've watched this channel. I think. that I I would really posit this. You. know, we're often I I I saw someone um I. saw who was it? It was it was one of. these uh one of these substacks or or or.

networks that cover emerging. independently media landscape and they. kind of put us as like the growth of. they call it partisan media. And so they. put us, you know, as you know, as on the. left, one of the big partisan media kind. of growth centers. And then on the other. side, they had like Candace Owens and. they had like two or three others. I I I. forget who they were. Um but they were. like making this kind of comparison. And.

for me, I mean, you've all been watching. this episode. This has been on Breaking. News other than the Brother show tonight. at 8 and which is on 8 Eastern, 5. Pacific. This is like the one of the. marquee shows of the network, right? Like I don't think I've said a single. thing that's been political the whole. entire show. I haven't said, "Oh, the. Democrats have done this D." I haven't. done any of that because to me I think. everything I say applies to Americans. Unless you're a rich Epstein class.

oligarch billionaire, I frankly don't. know how what I'm saying isn't relevant. to you because you're being hurt by this. Epstein class oligarchy. Most 99.9% of. Americans are being hurt by this Epstein. class oligarchy. That's what I see. taking place every damn day. And so I. think if we can talk about these issues. more in terms of our shared humanity and. building out this consciousness that. were part of this broader humanity, I. think that's important. That's why I.

speak to people in Iran. That's why I. speak to people in Yemen. That's why I. speak to people all across the world. And that's why the international growth. of this network is so important because. I know that we the people both here but. more broadly, we'd love to I don't drink. alcohol anymore. Um, but I know we'd. love to have a beer together. I know. we'd love to have if I did or we'd love. to have a coffee or a cup of tea. together or break bread together. internationally. I know there's so much. of just all of us wanting to live. decent, good, fulfilling lives with each.

other. And then you've got these. freaking fascists and these genocidal. maniacs, the Trumps and the Netanyahus. and the Putins and all these people in. the world who care so much about power. and themselves. And they don't just want. to see themselves in these entrenched. positions of power. They also want to. see people suffer. They also want to see. others suffer. And that's what we see in. this oligarchy here. I could go on and. on and on about that, but I uh I. digress. Yeah, they put us in a chart.

where it was like Midas, Brian, Tyler. Cohen, and someone. I love Brian, so I'm. okay with that. So, us, Brian, and. somebody else. And then they put us up. with. against Candace Owens, and they put us. against Benny Johnson, and they put us. against I forget who else they put us. So, it was like, what do you what kind. of even compare? What are we doing? It. just it just it's just I I appreciate. the recognition that and amongst all of. those channels, by the way, we had by.

far the the biggest there was. We were. the biggest ever. Um but setting aside. that it was the most subscribers. But I. it's just fundamentally I don't maybe. I'm detached from from what how you see. it. I see this as a shared humanity. community and I think our values and. principles align a lot with certain. groups and political parties but we. don't just aimlessly augment um anyway I. could keep going on and on. You get it. like Ben just tell us the news. We get.

it. We get it. We get it. We get it. All. right. Trump sleeping in the Oval. Office. Not cool. Weird. Clearly dude. cognitively and physically declining. I. could show you 50 videos like this. I'll. just show you one. But this is every. damn day. It's like they do it on. purpose just to show us, you know, that. they don't give a [ __ ] about us. Here, play this clip. >> So, Mr. President, thank you again and. everybody here. We're going to get this. done. We're going to get this done. This. is really exciting. >> We're going to get it done. This is. really exciting. We're going to get it.

done. What are you going to get done? $54 billion to Alaska. You're going to. get it done from South Korea. Okay. What. does South Korea have to say about it? Ah, got it. It's fake. Not real. Got it. South Korea says, "You made this up. Got. it." Again, you know, it's just when you. hear from former Trump supporters as. well, one of the things that has really. resonated, I think the Epstein coverup. was the real first thing because look, if you're going to lie about child sex. trafficking, you're going to lie about.

everything. And I think that was the. first kind of pierce of the kind of MAGA. cult armor if you will where people are. like whoa you're gonna lie about child. sex trafficking like the hell got it if. you're lying about then it opens up your. I mean I know I think our eyes are open. but then once you start to see in a. little bit then you know it quickly. expands and you're like whoa everything. you do everything you do is a lie to the. point where you've got Marjorie Taylor. Green saying Oh, here they go with the.

caravans again. They're doing the false. flag caravan stuff before the election. You've got her say, "Yeah, that's what. they do. That's what that's the whole. apparatus right there is to create these. culture wars to try to divide people so. that the oligarchs can steal your money. and send your kids to war and they could. continue to do the things that they're. trying to cover up in the Epstein file. What do you think they're trying to do? It's about power and it's about their. sickness and wanting to see you suffer.

also. What do you think it's all about? Of course. Of course that's what's going. on. Contrast Donald Trump though to. Prime Minister Carney. Prime Minister. Carney talking about opening up new. pipelines in Canada through Alberta and. other areas to basically re send the uh. oil send uh directly to Asia and not to. the US refineries. Listen to what Carney. had to say here. to play this clip. >> A pipeline to the West Coast is part of. our mission to transform our economy to.

double our non US exports over the next. decade to create tens in fact hundreds. of thousands of good jobs to unlock the. full potential of Canada as a global. energy superpower and to catalyze tens. and tens of billions of dollars of new. investment into the Canadian economy to. make Alberta and Canada. more prosperous, more independent and to do all of this. in the right way. Today, 90% of.

Alberta's oil goes to the US. Pacific. Link will materially reduce that. dependence by allowing us to export an. additional 1 million barrels a day to. growing markets in Asia. That means more. customers, more choice, higher prices. for all Canadian energy producers. And. it means greater long-term security of. demand. >> Oopsies. You didn't think like Canada has a plan? The Trump regime just thinks what? You're going to do things without a.

reaction, without a response. Yeah, Canada's going to have a plan. And by. the way, good luck with the potach from. Bellarus when we have fertilizer. shortages and Canada provides us with. the potach. I'm sure our farmers. absolutely love that one, idiot brigade. over there. And then what do you think. Canada's going to do? What do you what. do you think their reaction is going to. be when you from the Oval Office say. Canada's the worst country ever? What. they said like every day they go. Canada's the worst country. Canada.

screws us over. Canada know Canada loves. its diversity. Canada has a set of. principles and values. They're free. They're north. Their elbows up and. they're not going to take this [ __ ] By. the way, it's an honor. That's why we. stand in solidarity with the people of. Canada. Just to be very clear, not. mincing words. We stand with you, the. people of Canada, over the Trump regime. running the United States government. Like, let me be very clear. We're on. your side. We're on your team because we. recognize that we have a fascist regime.

over here that is absolutely disgusting. and they cover up child sex trafficking. rings and they get involved in. catastrophic wars and they loot and they. steal from us. And as former Secretary. of State Hillary Clinton said, they are. we are we have become under the Trump. regime a deeply unserious nation. Deeply. unserious as well as a very dangerous. nation. Uncerious and dangerous. As a. threshold, we should be serious. You.

move up the ladder, we should be. competent. You move up the ladder, we. should be sophisticated. you move up the. ladder, we should have the top smartest. people who are uh really devoting their. lives to public service because they've. achieve their lives where they can give. back and they can share this experience. at the highest level. Folks, we don't. even meet the threshold of serious. We. are unserious and we are dangerous under.

the Trump regime. We don't even meet the. floor and that is absolutely horrible. Two more things I want to show. One, a. furious MAGA caller calling into the. Megan Kelly wrap-up show. Let's play. this one. >> Over the last couple of weeks, been. getting what seems like a handful of. callers every single day who are totally. disillusioned by someone in many cases. they say they voted for Donald Trump. >> Thanks for taking my call. I voted for. Donald Trump and I got to be honest with.

you and tell you, you know, we didn't. get a wall. We didn't get to lock up. Hillary. We didn't get to drain the. swamp. We didn't get affordable. healthcare. We didn't get to eliminate. the national debt with Doge. Remember, we were looking and they only raised it. from 36 trillion to 40 trillion. Okay. We didn't get to Epstein files. accountability. I think Pam Bondi. probably got fired because she released. some of them and wasn't supposed to. We. didn't get a Doge check of five grand. We didn't get a $2,000 tariff check.

Okay. We didn't get lower interest. rates. We didn't get nothing but lied. to. And like I said, I voted for the. guy, but this guy is the big He should. be selling used 67 Cadillac Coupe. Devilles at some used car lot because. all we've gotten is garbage. Iran. Iran. Iran. Okay. The price of oil comes down. His big buddies and the rich buy. Price. of oil goes up cuz we bomb them. They.

sell, sell, sell. The whole thing is a. sham. Well, he's selling watch. Could. you imagine if Barack Obama was selling. watches, sneakers, and all kinds of. stuff? We'd be going nuts. I'm sorry. I. would never vote for this man again. And. you know what? Sometimes things got to. get worse before they get better. But. there is no America first with President. Trump. I'm. >> And you hear that all of the time right. now. And I was I share some of those. videos and some of those statements that.

we get here and that we hear elsewhere. on the Midas touch network. I want to. leave you with this. You have John U, uh, MAGA Republican extremist lawyer. He. was on state regime media today and this. is what he said about the botched. execution of Christa Pike. She was. supposed to be executed yesterday in. Tennessee. They administered the lethal. injection twice and it didn't work. And. so she's in critical condition, at least.

as of this recording. And they botched. the execution. And let me show you what this MAGAR. Republican extremist lawyer just said on. state regime media about it. Let's play. it. So actually the thing here is that. Tennessee is trying to use what is. considered the most humane method of. capital punishment which is lethal. injection. The court has allowed and. Tennessee could use far more I would. think hurtful you know uh methods like.

firing squad. Firing squad's been. permitted. In fact I think the lawyers. here have said why not use the firing. squad. So, I think what's going to have. to happen is that Tennessee is going to. have to go back and try again, perfect. these methods, or use some other kind of. execution method. >> All right, that the governor. >> the hell are we talking about? How is this. what.

firing squad. perfect the execution method? You all know where I stand. I am. absolutely against the death penalty. I. am absolutely and I'll say it very. clearly where I stand on issues. Okay? You're not going to hear mincing words. here. Gaza is a genocide. I am against. the death penalty. We have to be very clear and articulate. in my opinion where we stand across all.

of these issues in these times. And. ultimately, if you disagree with me, I. hope you'll at least appreciate that I. ain't trying to spin you. And maybe. you'll be like, "Hey, I don't agree with. him on this, but I agree with but I. appreciate that I I didn't get a bunch. of word salad." You'll know where I. you'll know where I stand on issues. And. I'll try to give you yes, no, and if I. don't know, if I'm ignorant to a fact, I'll say, "I don't know. Maybe I need to.

get more information. Maybe I need to. educate myself better on a specific. issue. Okay. Um, that is what is going. on right there. And this idea, and by. the way, I can tell you, I was a former. civil rights lawyer, botched executions. happen actually all the time. It's one. of the reasons why I view cruel and. unusual punishment to encapsulate. execution. There's a lot of other.

reasons that inform my view, but you. have these Book of Isaiah contorting, thumping MAGA extremists out there with. this death cult cheering and chanting. death everywhere. Death everywhere. And. that's what we hear from Hegsith. That's. what we heard here. And while all of. this is going on, while all of this is. taking place, what's Donald Trump.

focused on? His schemes and his scams. picking your pocket. The latest crypto. Did you see this today? You see this. bizarre photo of him, Jeremy? I think. we've got this photo where if you now. buy more of the Trump crypto or the. memecoin, you get to meet with him. coming up in the next few months. Did. you see this? Let's try to get that. graphic if we can. There, Jeremy. I want. to show people what this graphic looks.

like over here. Um, and here it is. Uh, news. Trump will host the most exclusive. dinner in the world for the top 185. purchasers of the meme crypto. There it. is right there. It's like a ridiculous. photo of him buying $1 million worth of. the Trump coin should get you in. November 22nd. He's already pocketed. $635 million off of this scheme alone.

Investors are down four billion dollars. on Trump crypto and that's a fraction of. the money that he's pillaged and looted. since he's gone into the Oval Office. And did you hear also what he's trying. to do? He wants to try to put forward. anything possible to prevent future. presidents from taking down all the gold.

and his names everywhere. And he knows. that future presidents will likely want. to tear it down. So, he wants to try to. enshrine everything he's doing as. federal landmarks that can't be uh. adapted or can't be changed or altered. or ripped down. And again, let me also. be very clear because I view what I'm. saying here as completely nonpartisan. also. But I don't think you can be an. opposition leader, meaning for the.

Democratic party, you are disqualified. from being the president of the United. States if on day one you don't commit to. tearing down everything Donald Trump has. done on day one. And it needs to be done. publicly. The East Wing needs to be demolished on. day one. The Walk of Fame, take a. freaking hammer and a broom and I want. to see it on live TV. I want it to just.

be bashed. I want it all falling down on. day one. And if he does the arch, I want. the arch being destroyed on day one. The e the ballroom. The ballroom. Yeah. I want to see the ballroom. Whatever the. hell, I want the ballroom to be. demolished on day one. I want whatever. Trump does that. And it happens. everywhere. Literally on the first day.

I want it to be on cameras. I want it to. be streamed. I don't want it to be, oh, well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Every. debate needs to ask that question right. away. Okay, there's deeper issues that. need to be fixed. Let's be very clear. than that. But those symbols of the. downfall need to be removed immediately. Immediately. And then we have to start building back. the DOJ. And we have to start and by the.

you know what? You know what also needs. to be done? It has to be committed to. the war criminals will be handed over to. the Hague immediately on day one. the. international criminal courts, the HEG. prosecutions. immediately. Immediately, no obfiscation, no blah. blah blah blah blah. Voters will be. watching. And again, this is just a. message for the opposition in general. This isn't even a political message,

okay? People will be watching. And if on the. debate stage we are seeing well. we the people should have an eh button. right away the moment you know maybe. that [ __ ] worked. pre20 2016 and may we're not going back. to the status quo. You tell us where you stand on an issue. or you get eh right away. And by the way. we can disagree with you. You could.

disagree with me. You could say, "Hey, Ben, I think your view about the death. penalty, or I think your view about. Gaza, or I think your view about the. war, or I think about your coverage over. here, or I think about this, I disagree. with In fact, Ben, you offend me with. that. You offend me. Don't Hey, okay. Well, do you agree with here? Do you. agree that you know where I am on these. issues? You know what you're watching. I. hope you know that I don't just go out. saying [ __ ] that I am doing my best to.

give you my thoughtful. views about why I think this stuff and. then we can go from there. It's all. good. It's all good. But we have to be. clear. Moral clarity is more important. than ever right now. And that's what we. are going to be focused on right now. Okay. I'm going to plug the book. Why? Because I spent a lot of time writing it. and I dedicated it to you. the mightest. mighty and I did talk about on the first.

segment the things that that one. commenter claims I didn't I spent a lot. most of the show talking about it um WTF. America the way out of this hell and. back to democracy there is an ebook. there is an audio book that I read the. audio with my brothers it's not AI it's. us you can hear us read the audio we. spent a lot of time at the studio in. between doing these videos to make sure. the audio was crisp. You can hit the QR code over here. Even.

though for me on my screen it shows up. here. I'm like a weatherman. For you it. shows up over here. Um, get the audio or. the ebook or the hard cover. It's out. October 20th, but the pre-orders are. really important right now. And I think. a lot of people were happy to learn. there was an audio component of this. because as soon as I mentioned that, I. saw all of a sudden the audio sales go, people I think for didn't know that. So, and there's an ebook. All right. I do. the show with my brothers at 8 Eastern,

5 Pacific. I hope you'll tune in for. that. covering the breaking news throughout. the day. I did a video with Charlie. Angus I'll drop in a little bit as well. where we talk more about Carney's. pipeline plan and why the Trump regime. is so terrified of it. They didn't see. it coming. So, watch that video. Tell. people you know about this network. Let. people know that this is a place where. we can get out the truth, where we can. speak passionately but calmly. We can.
