🚨Trump Just Got a RUDE AWAKENING….

Donald Trump has gone silent on Monday. morning as Iran continues to strike. tanker after tanker. And finally, the. official authorities are acknowledging. the strikes we've been reporting about. that have taken place in these straight. of moves every damn day. Most recently, October 3rd, an oil tanker was struck by. a projectile. October 4th, an LNG tanker. and an oil tanker were struck by. projectiles from the IRGC in the.

straight of Hormuz. Earlier this. morning, a massive tanker turned around. after being warned by the IRGC. And now. we're seeing headlines like this from. the Wall Street Journal. Oil was pouring. out of Hormuz again. Then attacks on. ships resurged. Iran's targeting of. ships has improved according to a US. official making transits through the. straight of Hormuz riskier. No, there. was never all of this oil getting out of.

the straight of Hormuz as we were. reporting over and over again. We knew. these strikes were occurring. It was. just not being reported. And the Trump. regime was lying and saying that more. oil was getting out than was actually. getting out. I mean, you take a look at. indicators that people in the United. States and across the world know what's. going on cuz we know what we're paying. for gas and diesel. Consumer confidence. keeps on collapsing. It's at its lowest.

level right now since April 2014, and. it's very close to the lowest level. since um you know, whether it was in. 2021 or 2001. I mean the consumer. confidence is at the great recession. level right now cuz that's what the. American people are experiencing and all. of a sudden this week you know we. started to hear people like Aramco's CEO. Amen Nasser he spoke at an energy. conference in London and he goes global.

inventories have fallen to dangerously. low levels calling the world supply. cushion scarily thin Nasser said nearly. 3 billion ion barrels of oil supply have. been lost since the war with Iran began. while reserve release offer only. temporary relief and rebuilding. inventories could take up to 2 years. Yeah, there wasn't all of this oil. getting out of these straight of Hormuz. In fact, things are getting worse each.

day. And one of the things we've learned. in the past uh 24 hours as well onsala. the Houthis were able to successfully. strike uh an area in Jedha in Saudi. Arabia. Look right over here. Footage. shows a plume of smoke rising from Jedha. following an Ansurala ballistic missile. attack on a Saudi Aramco refinery there. earlier. Now Saudi Arabia working with. its PLC back forces in Yemen said that. they intend for an offensive to try to.

seize Sana, the capital of Ansarala and. also take back other areas in western. Yemen that Ansarala the Houthis were. able to take control of in uh the recent. weeks. And so Ansarala responded. striking this refinery right here in. Jedha. Saudi Arabia's defense. authorities no longer report the. warnings that they used to or when there. are refineries struck, they just cover. it up. It's just a massive manipulation.

taking place from the Trump regime to. the Arab nations all across the world. There's this market manipulation. But. again, you look at the price of crude, you look at the price of diesel, it is. surging. One other fact that doesn't get. enough attention, but to me this chart. and this analysis says it all. Just even. if you assumed all of the oil was. getting out of the straight of Hormuz, assume it's just like it was pre-war. Here's a major difference. VLCC rates,

those are those very large tankers, the. largest types of tankers that carry out. crude, have reached unprecedented levels. of what they are charging per day. because the risk is so severe. They. charge $1.3 million per day now to carry. the crude whereas before the war it was. around $30,000 to $50,000 a day. So it's. around 43 times the January number. So.

this adds to the price per barrel of oil. about $33 or 27% of the delivered cost. of crude oil. So even if the amount of. oil getting out was all the same, the. risk premium is so damn high that it. would still cost so much more by the. time it was transported to the refinery. and then ultimately refined. has to then. be refined and then the gas, the diesel. and jet fuel is then sold. So, I think.

it's important that we just have some. basic understanding of what the hell is. going on. I know we do here at the Midas. Touch Network, but the level of. disinformation is so wild. Meanwhile, speaking of disinformation purveyors, you had JD Vance, uh, this is what he. said at Joint Base Andrews this morning. He said, "I think the American people. love these taxpayerf funed political. commercials that Donald Trump's doing, those fascist commercials Trump keeps. running during football games and other.

major national sporting events and just. in general, he keeps on playing these. political ads." And JD Vance was like, "Obama did it." No, Obama didn't do it. Stop saying Obama. Stop saying Biden. That there's no comparison here to. what's going on. Obama, Biden, again, disinformation purveyors, fraud. They. just want to overwhelm me with this crap. here. Play this clip. Well, look, if if. you look historically,

um, you know, go back to the Obama. administration with the Affordable Care. Act. You have the people's government. using tax dollars to advertise about. what the government is doing. It's part. of actually, I think, living in a. constitutional republic. You have to be. honest with the American people about. what you're doing, about what's going. on. And part of that is getting out. there and telling the message. So I. don't think there's anything unusual or. unorthodox about it. I'm sure that some. people probably don't like it. But if. you look at the message of those. advertisements, they're not partisan. They're not, you know, it's not like.

we're advocating for a particular. candidate. We're trying to tell a story, I think, about how great the United. States of America is. Even though one of. the ads, sir, after that, >> then you have MAGA Republican Senator. Rick Scott said, "Look, sure, the gas. prices really high, but I don't want to. be killed by a nuclear weapon. Do you. want to be killed by a nuke? So, this is. great. We can deal with high gas prices. because Trump saved us from being killed. by nukes." No, he didn't. You made up a. threat that didn't exist so that Trump.

and Netanyahu as part of their cover up. also of the Epstein files could. slaughter little children in Manab and. La Mer and invade Iran. This is what. Rick Scott said here. Play this clip. >> Killed. Now, nobody likes war. War is. not popular. Nobody likes high gas or. diesel prices, right? But we also don't. want nuclear weapons. And this president. actually is doing the opposite of. Democrats. He's tried to build up the. oil and gas industry while they tried to. destroy it and drive prices up. He's. trying to build it. Um, and he has built. it in this country. And he's trying to. build relationships in places like.

Venezuela. Now, he's trying to make sure. Europe's a partner. So, we're we're. headed in the right direction. I don't. want a nuclear weapon. I mean, I don't. want my kids or grandkids killed by a. nuclear weapon. I don't like high gas. prices, but I want I don't want to be. killed by a nuclear weapon. So, it's. 3:00 a.m. You hear a noise in your. house. What's your move? Did you freak. out with no plan? Are you fumbling with. safe keys? Were you just hoping your. battery in your safe didn't die? Or. worse, is your firearm just out? That's.

why I started using the Stopbox Pro to. safely store my firearms, and it's a. gamecher. Storing your firearm used to. put you at risk. Storing a handgun. safely shouldn't mean slowing yourself. down when you actually need it. Most. options force a choice between locked. away or left out, which isn't practical. for kids, guests, or unexpected. situations. I would know. I have a.

little kid. Stopbox is built for people. who want real protection without giving. up speed or control. The Stopbox Pro is. completely mechanical. No keys, no. batteries. It never fails. The fiveb. button interface is designed for muscle. memory, so you get immediate access. while keeping others out. Your firearm. stays secure, but always within reach. Stopbox is also TSA compliant, so you. can check your firearm safely and. legally when flying. Stopbox also offers.

a range of other innovative products, including their brand new Stopbox Uken. Stopbox Ukan uses the same mechanical. locking system as the Stopbox Pro, but. has much more storage capacity.

Harry Anon this morning who said they. were analyzing the fact that the Kansas. Senate race right now is tied. Um, which. could be the first time a Democrat wins. in Kansas in like 100 years. And Harry. Anton says that Donald Trump at this. point right now in his presidency has.

popularity that's Herbert Hoover level. It's like the worst in presidential. history. Take a listen to what he says. Play this clip. >> Yeah. Okay. So, Kansas has not sent a. Democrat to the United States Senate. since 1932. That's 94 years ago. For those who don't. want to do the mental math this early in. the morning, what is going on? And that. is President Trump is historically. unpopular for repres for a Republican. president in the great state of Kansas. Take a look here. Okay, what are we.

looking at here? Republican president's. net approval ratings in Kansas. I. absolutely buy the idea that this race. is close because just take a look at. these. Okay, GOP net approvals in Kansas. about at this point in a term. Look at. this. George W. Bush coming off of 911. was at about plus 45 points. Even in. 2006, he was still in the positive. territory at about plus one. In his. first term, look at this. Donald Trump. at plus five points. Look at how much. less popular Donald Trump is than he was. in term number one at this point. He's. way down in the basement. 15 points.

underwater. That's a 20 point shift away. from the president of the United States. That is 16 points less popular than any. other Republican president at this point. in term this century. And in fact, while. we don't have the polling data, if you. look at the national polling data, I. would say that Donald Trump is probably. at this point in a term the least. popular Republican president probably. since well, Herbert Hoover. Now, new. Gallup poll Q3 uh party ID data coming. out right over here. Um, this is how. Americans politically identify right now.

in the new Gallot poll. 50% identify. Democrats, 39% identify Republicans. This Democrat plus 11 lead is the. largest quarterly margin recorded for. the Democrats since the first quarter of. 2009. And it was Republican plus4 in 2024. Just by comparison, the Trump regime. announcing Benny Ray Harmony will be the. new assistant press secretary at the.

White House, taking on a prominent role. there. Here she is in 2021, wearing her. FJ Joe Biden shirt over here, I believe, with a family member. Um, here's what. she looks like today, by the way, now. that she's taken this Trump regime job. But this is what she looked like in. 2021. Here she is. Uh today, Marco Rubio. was asked about updates regarding the uh. apparent plague case taking place in. Russia right now. There was a pneumonic.

plague at a bolab in Siberia that killed. a lab technician. There's a major. quarantine going on right now in the. Siberia area. Marco Rubia says this is. not cause for alarm, but it is cause for. focus. He says, "Let's play this clip. >> Can you give us an update on the. suspected plague case in Russia?". >> Well, we don't we know what we know. obviously about whatever the Russians. have provided, which is it seems that. there was a a worker at the lab that was.

infected and there's concern that that, you know, put it fresh, of that nature. Um there's very limited. travel between the US and Russia. obviously. Uh but like anything else, something like that gets out and. continues to spread. So, we're watching. and monitoring it closely. I don't think. it's caused for alarm, but it is caused. for hope and cause to keep an eye on it. We're doing that. >> And then Rubio was asked about the. reporting. We did this reporting this.

morning and others did as well about the. 12 B1 bombers that have been uh removed. from the the Royal Air Force Base. Fairford in the UK. So, that all those. B1s are gone. As you also are aware, the. USS George HW Bush aircraft carrier has. been removed from the Arabian Sea and. it's now in Phuket, Thailand, leaving. only one aircraft carrier there. The US. has no aircraft carrier in the Pacific.

The USS George Washington is now the. only aircraft carrier in the Arabian. Sea. This is a catastrophic war we. should never have been involved in. But. it's also massive mismanagement of the. catastrophic war. So there's the USS. Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier and. its strike group and an amphibious. assault group. It will arrive in the. Arabian Sea mid November after the. midterms where Trump's threatened. escalation. But I think one of the. reasons Iran also realizes it can strike. these tankers with impunity right now. and project its strength as it controls.

the straight of Hermuz is that the US uh. the literally the munitions and the US. ability to even project strength in the. region is gone. But anyway, here's what. Rubio has to say about that. Let's play. this clip right here. >> Bombers, be careful. >> What? >> Why did American bombers be careful? >> Well, you have the Department of War is. constantly reallocating resources where. they need to be. There's regular. rotations that happen as well. So, I. think you guys are just Well, I mean, we've documented what happened last. week. I wouldn't directly tie that to.

the move that was made. The only reason. why you guys are focused on how many. planes are available is because of the. threat that happened last week. But it's. not unusual to see rotations happen and. movement of athletes to different parts. of the world based on exercises, uh, redeployment, uh, people changing out, and new people coming in, new planes. coming in, old planes going out. So are. changing all the time. You guys are just. really focused on that now because you. still have confidence. Meanwhile, one of. the main advisers to Ayatollah Mojaba. Kmeni posted the following. Every.

computational error by the enemy against. Iran has resulted in heavy defeat for. it. The next error will bring about. fresh fronts and greater surprises. With. the wise leadership of the supreme. leader of the revolution, the. companionship of the history-making. nation, and the coordination of all. branches of the system, Iran will. powerfully navigate through these. complex conditions. Another thing to. note as well, the USS George Washington,

the only aircraft carrier in the Arabian. Sea, it's like a thousand kilometers. outside of the kind of entrance as you. start heading towards the Gulf of Oman. and towards the straight of Hormuz. So. the US aircraft carriers are pretty far. out. There's only one at this point. that's even there. The other, as you now. stated, is in uh Phuket, Thailand. I. think that's uh notable as well. And so. really the first time that's happened in. a very very very uh long time. Also. important to note as well, a Turkish. commercial vessel, the Royad Madav, sank.

in the Black Sea after being struck by a. drone believed to be a Russian drone, perhaps a Giran 4. Romanian authorities. said 11 crew members were rescued and. two were killed. The vessel was about 30. nautical miles south inside Romania. Romania is a NATO members exclusive. economic zone. Zalinsky has responded to. uh the incident and he's talked about uh.

what's taken place and uh he's calling. it out as well. Um by our account, Iran. has struck at least 12 tankers in the. southern corridor of the straight of. Hormuz in the past 7 days as well. And. this uh open- source uh site agrees with. that uh number. keep you posted every. step of the way here on the Midas Touch. Network. Get your copy of WTF America. Audio book is out October 20th.
