Afternoon Breaking Updates on Iran War with Ben 9/8/2026

0:00Welcome to Ben on breaking news. I'm Ben Mycelis and this is your breaking news. Our breaking news moments ago senior US officials told state regime media Fox the following the United States military has struck targets near Carg island and just the targets include Iranian oil tankers. This is part of a larger effort to squeeze Iran on economically. The strategy includes sinking and disabling Iranian crude oil tankers. AKA the proud United States Navy has just become a bunch of pirates not even striking military targets striking oil tankers near Carg island and this follows last week's massive escalation by Donald Trump where he struck a wedding in Syrac County killing at least four including women and children and injuring about 90 others at that wedding. This is yet another act of escalation by an increasingly desperate Trump regime as

1:04the price per barrel of oil for both Brent and WTI are about to hit a hundred dollars folks and you know that because if you go to the pump you know the price of gas right now nationwide average approaching five dollars a gallon and the price of diesel approaching six dollars a gallon and all of the things we were warning about before regarding the strategic petroleum reserves hitting effective tank bottom the salt caverns in Texas under the worst conditions in history right now and Donald Trump the blubbering buffoon goes on and further escalates this catastrophic war by striking three oil tankers as Iran specifically warned if you keep shooting our damn oil tankers we're gonna keep shooting your military bases and we're gonna keep raising the stakes now moments ago

2:06in response to the Trump regimes escalation Iran's navy responded as follows we warned all oil tanker crews at ports and anchorages in Kuwait and Bahrain immediately abandoned your vessels we are going to be targeting you now Iran appears to be ready to just blow up any and all ships that are currently at the Kuwait and Bahrain anchorages right now and I've been covering this motion rosy one of Iran's top military leaders who's the main military advisor to Iatola Mojtabakomani has promised that Iran is rolling out a new special weapon that we've seen before some have called it a castle breaker but there's another variation of it an anti ship ballistic missile as well the quasim which is different than the castle breakers but both of these are advanced ballistic missiles

3:06that can change course after they're fired they go incredibly fast and really the United States since it's out of interceptors doesn't really have the capability to stop it now motion rosy Iran's top military advisor to the Iatola I mean he described his predicament and Iran's predicament as look we can destroy these aircraft carriers that are now in the Arabian seat pretty freaking easily the problem is we're going to kill hundreds of us Navy sailors and Marines and if we do that then that may actually rally support for the war where the United States doesn't support this catastrophic war to begin with so Iran has to basically deal with the fact that Donald Trump is using our service members as bait and that's what I've said before and that's what I truly believe in my opinion what Trump is trying to do he's having our aircraft carriers essentially serve as bait Trump wants Iran to hit the carriers so then Trump can step up and act like he's

4:11this wartime guy and it could help with his approval ratings I sincerely believe in my opinion that Donald Trump this demonic sicko that his plan is actually wanting our service members to get killed my opinion feel free to disagree but if you look at his behavior his behavior is that exactly you're shooting three Iranian oil tankers after Iran has warned that if you keep on doing that they are going to have no choice but to go after those two aircraft carriers that are forming the black head and I think because I've been speaking to a lot of families of service members I think they know that I think the people aboard these ships know that I think the family members and there's quite a few who speak to us here at the Midas Touch Network who had family members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln which is now leaving Thailand after all of those horrific conditions were

5:15exposed the George Washington replaced that we no longer have aircraft carriers in the Pacific but I think those family members knew Trump regime Pete Hegsith demonic sickos you are making our service member family members bait to Iran and Iran realizes that so that's the dynamic that's the dynamic and play right now and if you just look at the ability of what the Houthis are doing right now the quality and quantity of their ballistic missile crews FPV Shahi drone strikes right the access of resistance the top of that access is Iran and then you've got his Bola you've got the Houthis we've got Hamas you've got certain groups in Somalia and elsewhere they use the Iranian technologies first rate technology top of the line engineering the Iranian

6:16technology why do you think that Russia is using the Iranian it's the best it's the best we can say what you want to say in this top of the line so when Donald Trump tries to act like oh we've destroyed the navy look at me meme I'm gonna meme this I'm gonna meme that I'm gonna post a meme of this no Iran has developed quantity wise quantitative more ballistic more Shahids they've also helped Russia assemble more ballistic more Shahids North Korea has also been helping Russia on that front as well and also the access of resistance getting their hands on this as well the ballistics the Shahids the cruise missiles and not just the quantity the quality these new ballistics they change direction mid-air normally or in the past the ballistic point a point b that's it now it goes point a point b and then if it sees an interceptor and by the way the Trump regime idiots ran out of most interceptors it goes around the interceptor it can maneuver around the

7:21interceptor and that's why we've seen and a lot of this is being covered up a lot of this is being covered up but multiple mostly all military bases that the US ones had in the Middle East destroyed demolished rubble on the grounds destroyed and just being covered up doesn't get reported that much here in the United States but our bases in the Middle East demolished so what does Trump do puts our two aircraft carriers right there bait as Iran is faced with this predicament do we shoot the aircraft carriers and then kill US service members and then Donald Trump gets probably what he wants to be aha I'm the wartime guy now and you know or do you just kind of and people are saying we're surprised that Iran hasn't even escalated more than they have that shows weakness we really think it shows weakness the US is the superpower okay you think that shows weakness Iran is playing

8:23the long game right here in this catastrophic war that Trump and Netanyahu unleashed gas prices are going to continue to rise the strategic petroleum reserves are continuing to dwindle and dwindle and dwindle more we know it's rock bottom tank bottom but it's so low that it's a position where it can literally collapse within because there has to be just basic science a certain amount of of the actual petroleum mixed with the oil in it otherwise the way this was formed it could literally implode from within that's a big big problem right there then another question what happens when China starts to import what happens when China who has held off being a big buyer a lot of crude during these past several months because they were prepared for this moment aha planning preparation they bought all of this crude when it was very low price they have their own strategic

9:29reserve system their own tin pot system that they have and they decided you know what if we start buying at the pace we did before the price per barrel is going to shoot up so high because China's the top importer of crude so they held off being a big buyer and they relied on their domestic storage but now as they start to be more and more of a buyer what's going to start to happen the price is going to go up and up and up even more that was a variable that hadn't taken place before and Donald Trump you see why this guy you see why this guy bankrupted every damn casino he touched every entity this isn't a Democrat Republican independent thing this is a this guy's a loser bankrupt or thing and he's showing you in real time that he'll just make a bad situation worse a worse situation like catastrophe a catastrophic situation into a bankruptcy we're seeing that right now play out in real time so the IRGC made that warning but earlier before the idiotic Trump regime

10:35and the out of control send comment pains me to say this it pains me to say this as an American but that's the behavior it's lunatic behavior it's sheer lunacy Iran warned don't strike our freaking all your tankers don't strike them don't do it if you do it we're going to respond so just don't do it and I have an idea you want the straight of horror moves to be open just do what you said you were going to do under the MOU don't do the blockade we'll open it up unfreeze our funds that Qatar has in their bank accounts tell Israel to stop freaking slaughtering everybody in southern Lebanon and stop killing little children in Gaza and then we'll open up we'll open up the straight of them by the way if those things happened and Iran didn't open up the straight of horror moves you know what you can do you can then rally an international coalition against Iran

11:36if Iran doesn't do it after they said and then you can actually I don't know build the alliances but no that's not what Donald Trump does and instead he goes and gives deranged speeches this morning about how making it sound like he was in the rubble on 9-11 and that hundreds of people were with him his workers his men saving people on 9-11 the guy who lies about 9-11 him and by the way with this reminded us all about is that yes he lies about everything but all of his 9-11 lies all while he was miles away from ground zero he was calling up media bragging about that he now has the tallest building in Manhattan and then he said he was going to do all of these things for 9-11 survivors and victims which he didn't do and then he told this crazy fake story about being there with all of these men from the Trump or hundreds of men from the Trump organization saving people which

12:37didn't take place okay these I did this post yesterday because Ivanka did this video of herself or could have been her daughter I don't know on a horse to the cold play song which is a song actually about a empty king who falls off the throne Viva La Vida and and and she's playing the cold play song while they're doing the Titanic thing and and and I'm like thinking to myself are you aware of what's happening in the world right now do you know that your family has aided and abetted genocide that you're out there engaged in catastrophic wars your family has created horrors around the world little kids brains are being blown up because of your sicko demonic family people here in the United States are suffering can't afford things you ripped away health care

13:39you've said that children are engaged in waste fraud and abuse and ripped away their damn lunch money you deported hard working people here to countries where they're surely going to die when they get back there and you've done these videos mocking people you've thrown people into concentration camps here in the United States you had ice and border patrol Gestapo invade our freaking cities you invaded Minnesota you invaded Los Angeles you invaded Chicago you invaded Charlotte you invaded all of these cities across the United States of America and you want us to believe the the other side is the crazy one that's your pitch that you're the ones who are going to fix it fix it you're the ones who created the weakest most deranged demonic United States ever right now and the whole world looks at us like we're a bunch of freaking crazy people and here he is here you know with the

14:39difference between COVID and the catastrophic war is in this case a Trump is the COVID like he was responsible in my view for the catastrophic no response to COVID with the same flawed the same fatal malignant narcissistic bullshit lying that he's not a leader this isn't a Democrat Republican the guy can't do shit and he just lies about everything and all these people lie and that's what he did with COVID at least you can say COVID was a pandemic he's the pandemic now he's the one doing this he's like releasing more of this shit into the world but we want to do more strikes against the run and here's what we're going to do we're going to strike three Iranian oil taker why why are we going to strike three Iranian oil tank well look let me be very very blunt we should not be in this catastrophic and a lawful war at all we should never

15:42have been involved in it ever and I mourn the deaths of the little girls in Minab and the little children in Lamar and the families that were at the wedding and the family that was in Kesham and even the Navy sailors who were there in India and they were there for a parade they were unarmed part of the stipulation of them marching in this Indian parade that lots of other countries marched in and the US was invited that their boats their ships had to be inspected for no weapons so they were defenseless and then we took a submarine and blew them up and watched them drown the freaking Sri Lankan Navy had to save some people from drowning and most drowned and died this was done in the name of the red white and blue it's a to me true patriotism is calling out these demonic monsters right now but they just make it worse and worse and worse and now they strike the three

16:43oil tankers I don't know I just if you think about it pull back for a second if they're not using our aircraft carriers as bait to try to trigger Iran to strike the carriers so Trump can kind of steal the valor of this wartime victimhood that he wants to do in my opinion that's what he's trying to go for right that's again why would you be well what what is there's no military objective in striking three Iranian oil tankers that's also a war crime you're gonna just well what what does that have to do you're not strike you know like I don't think they should strike anywhere but it's like would you strike the oil tankers what what are you going to strike next the the farms what do you what are you going to strike next you're going to strike you're going to strike the toy factories what what are you going to strike more universal what what are you striking and Iran warned

17:44Iran said the aggressive US military has issued a warning to Iranian tankers evacuate because the US military is going to attack them therefore the Iran navy says I announced that any attack on Iranian tankers will result in the targeting of US bases in the region by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and that's what's going to happen that's what's that's what's going to happen right now and we're going to be covering that and in the US bases then they're going to escalate just get the hell out of there we don't want to be get the hell out of there just get your ships and go why what are you doing what the hell are we doing there it is sick predatory ill behavior the exact same type of people who are out there I mean you hear the stuff they're saying about canana the bests in the Trump I mean the language that bests in uses about canana it's serial killer let it's worse I don't even know you know it's like my dog that bit the neck of

18:51the yipping doxin and slaughtered why what do you why what you know that wasn't even the question like were you practicing that line were you practicing I mean like literally was bests in there like killing little kittens when he was growing up I mean is that who these people are I go back to I go back to the word I go back to the word demonic because that's the behavior of these people speaking of Donald Trump earlier today speaking at the ellipse in Washington DC about 9 11 now remember Trump's not speaking you think about it was a why is he speaking here now well he's going to the stupid Trumpapalooza Dallas event in the next 48 24 hours that 90% of Republicans are not going to be going to or 90% of Republican senators and at the Manhattan 9 11 they wouldn't let him speak because it's not a speaking engagement it's a it's a morning engagement it's a remembrance day we don't want Donald Trump saying stuff like this and Donald Trump claims he's basically

19:55lifted out of the rubble on 9 11 listen for yourself what he said here play this clip if you get too farman we thought it was coming down on top of us a too farman big strong guys and I'm not the smallest guy in the world they grabbed me under the arms they got to get out of here and they literally lifted me up this is not easy to do I'm big they lifted me up and they started running with me I said fellas I can run myself but they were amazing but they thought it was coming down it didn't come down you still okay so how old was he then 50s he was in his 50s then right late 50s what what the hell are you talking about why do you have to lie about 9 11 that didn't well you said didn't happen that that's not a that's not a thing that's not a thing that happened and also part of the 9 11 thing that he was talking about is also with the handsome men and pulling him out

20:56he he he creates this with these muscular guys and they say you know I'm I'm a big man and they grabbed me and their muscles were bulging they're bulging muscles and I looked at them and he had this his skin was olive and it was he had such great dark hair and he said what do you talk what are you doing what are these people I go I try to search every word I'm a word person that's what I do for a living and I and these demonic these are demonic people here's what Trump also said about a 9 11 I thank my people I was building a big building I took the whole crew down there so you didn't you didn't even kick the whole crew down there we have video we know we just didn't happen not true this didn't happen here play this flip you just thank my people I took a lot of my mouth is building a big building in New York and I took the whole crew down there right after this happened and they were they had no hesitation everybody went down with me we went down as a big group of people wasn't too much we could do I'll be honest it was it was raw nobody seen anything

22:01like it ever we had other buildings the United States steel building was creaking really creaking and we thought it was going to fall down the truth is it creaked a lot it creaked is still creaks but it never came down you know do the people behind him think that this is like a simulation I just wonder like like have we just been so untethered from existence of life that just everything feels like a movie or like a set like what that he's saying like the crick I feel I feel like everybody zombies I what do you do you he's lying about 9-11 you're law enforcement you're milled to I understand that he's has this title but dude is lying about 9-11 stories how the how is this not the biggest thing I was not the biggest thing ever how is this not disqualifying you know what what's going oh and then he ties 9-11 to Iran 9-11 to Iran

23:09here watch what he says to play this clip I just thank my Austin we will never forget the immortal heroes of September 11th 2001 and I will tell you we're right now fighting because we have a certain nation that wanted a nuclear weapon they were very close to getting it and now they have no chance at getting it they will never have a nuclear weapon Iran will not have a nuclear weapon so I guess if there's any utility to this he's like the stupid neocon right like like like the the neocons like they would have the they would have a tactical plan and they would finesse it right they would they would they would they would they would smooth over it you know and and make the connections and then try to trick you he's just like somehow says 9-11 and then in the same

24:13it's a non-sequitur doesn't do with justice then just talks about Iran 9-11 and Iran like you're doing that like you're literally going there with that playbook that somehow 9-11 relates to Iran you know who you should talk about your buddy your buddies in Saudi Arabia because most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia that's where most of the hijackers were from not from Iran but what do you talk what do you what is this what is this and here he is also like as though like Ben couldn't get worse yeah and actually can he then talks about this guy the man in the red bandana who was a heroic voluntary firefighter who was working in the tower was wearing a red bandana who is credited for saving a lot of people wearing the red bandana and helping people leaving using his voluntary firefighting training and trump says the man in the red bandana who's who

25:16died on 9-11 died on 9-11 saving people he's become more famous than me and I don't like it here play this clip then suddenly a rescue appeared they call them the man in the red bandana have you heard that term the man in the red bandana has become more famous than me I don't like it very unhappy but he's become much more famous than me you're clapping for that you clap at that who is this Shamu is it like you've seen a walrus I mean the guy is saying that it upset him that a 9-11 hero became more famous than him and you you clap at that story like you know we see you you know your kids and your grandkids and people in the community like we see you you're you're a you're a stensibly human you you clap for that

26:24what really that that stories yeah that story by the way a new reporting right now another 26 wounded US troops were reported via the pentagons defense casualty analysis system raising the total number of US military casualties since the war start to 838 with 18 killed and 820 wounded and you'll all recall our reporting here on the Midas Touch network months ago where I said I believe the true number of injured I'm guessing I can see where the containerized barracks are I can see what's being hit I know about traumatic brain injury I can count the troops so can Iran in the location where these strikes are taking but I believe the numbers closer to 3,500 to 5,000 severely seriously injured I consider a traumatic brain injury traumatic so I would believe that severely injured I believe there's about 3,500 to 5,000 TBI's in the region that will eventually

27:32be revealed and I'm kind of just using common sense I look at the amount of troops in the area I look where the ballistic missiles strike I go that probably caused a TBI that's probably worse than like a fender bender okay and then Pete Heggseth goes nope that's just a headache testosterone crazy humans crazy freaking humans loser humans who are running the United States into the damn ground right now and it is shameful to see but the rest of the world moves on we know Canada, European Union forging closer alliances there basically Canada joining the European Union except not formally they're going to work on a system where Canada doesn't have to deal with all the EU bureaucracy but they can have defense alliances economic alliances but not formally you I'm not sure Canada would want that per se to be honest with you or the you would want that or the you can basically have the same type of alliance effectively without actually being a voting member and that's

28:32probably better for Canada's mid power play mid power alliance structure anyway all right we'll take our first quick break did you get WTF America have you got your copy of it pre-order it right now please we've got a lot more to talk about when we come back from this break let's take our first break of the show.

31:52strike all ships that are at the anchorages of uh Bahrain and uh other uh ports nearby and so we're waiting on the Iranian response and we think it's going to be swift and perhaps the most vicious response yet in terms of these other remaining ships on the area irons warn leave the ships now we're going to blow them all up so we will keep you posted over there um we've been talking about uh Donald Trump's press conference from the ellipse in washington dc earlier today where he made up fake stories about nine eleven and him being pulled from either the rubble or from a building in these big strong men with bulging muscles and beautiful skin they helped him and they grabbed him in terms of big guy but these other men were so big and strong now that they managed to grab him and you know it's just the most ridiculous story imaginable um i do want to remind you though

32:55of the types of things that Donald Trump would say about Saudi Arabia while Donald Trump is trying to now connect nine eleven to his catastrophic war in Iran because he's a deranged lunatic i want to remind you that back on july 28th of 2022 when Donald Trump was asked about why he was continuing to host the Saudi golf tournaments at his clubs or his clubs were used for that live golf tournament as you know live is basically going bankrupt right now liv it uh the Saudi Arabian uh sovereign wealth fund is no longer funding it the way it did before and so because of the catastrophic wars that are taking place in Iran and in the region and of course now the hoothies are striking uh Saudi Arabian refineries after Saudi Arabian backed forces in Yemen were attacking the hoothies area and the hoothies responded with a huge amounts of ballistic missiles and drones and uh least 73

34:04uh people were wounded in Saudi Arabia uh in uh different areas from Abat, Hamas, to jazant and jazran other areas right there the jazan refinery on fire i mean some real uh crazy images about these strikes Jeremy do we have any of the video just any of these strikes in Saudi Arabia in the past uh where we stopped Yeah.

35:05Anyway, 2022, Donald Trump said nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9-11, unfortunately. And they should have, as to the maniacs that did the horrible thing. And he was saying this to give cover to Saudi Arabia, to MBS and others. He's like, nobody got to the bottom of 9-11. I just want you to think about again. What does that mean? Nobody's ever gotten to the bottom of 9-11. What is that here, play, this clip? You're so closely associated with the city of New York. You of all people understand the passions surrounding 9-11. What do you say to those family members who protested earlier this week? And we'll be doing so again on Friday. Well, nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9-11, unfortunately. And they should have, as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world. So nobody's really been there. But I can tell you that there are a lot of really great people that are out here today. And we're going to have a lot of fun. And we're going to celebrate.

36:06And money's going to charity. A lot of money's going to charity. And yet really, the best players in the world, many of the best players in the world. And soon you'll probably have all of them. Soon you'll probably live is going to be so big. It's going to be great. It's going to be amazing. Live is going to be the greatest thing. All this money to charity. How much money do you think really went to charity? Do you see how this guy just weaponizes that stuff? It's sick. It's demonic. I search for words, but I've come back to that one all of the time. As the title of our book is WTF, I come back to those three letters. And then I come back to demonic to describe these people. Like, what are you saying? What? And we don't know who that is. We know who the hijackers are. We know where they're from. And then at that same event on July 28, 2022, Donald Trump says, I've known these people for a long time in Saudi Arabia. They've been friends in mind for a long time. And what they've done for golf is great. This is great. Here, let's play this clip.

37:07I've known these people for a long time in Saudi Arabia. And they've been friends in mind for a long time. They've invested in many American companies. They own big percentages of many, many American companies. And frankly, what they're doing for golf is so great. What they're doing for the players is so great. The salaries are going to go way up. The PGA was not loved by a lot of the players, as you know, for a long time. Like, do you realize that the guy is literally wrong about everything? Like, have you ever met somebody or known someone who's more wrong about everything? There he is in 2022. He's saying that live golf is so great. It's going to make the salaries go up. It's going to be amazing for all of the players. It's great for the game. Did that happen? What happened to it? Bankrupt. Everything this guy, do you think that all of this is just

38:07a one massive coincidence? Is it just that he's the biggest victim? Or maybe he's the biggest loser? Is that possible? Just everything fails around him. Everything he touches, fails him. It's always somebody else's fault. Well, he picks your pocket and gets rich while everybody else around him gets screwed. And this entity gets destroyed and that casino gets destroyed and this company gets destroyed and that lead gets destroyed. Like literally everything. Look at what the football league that he was associated with. Failure. Everything the guy touches is a failure. And also, he's one of the main reasons why did live ultimately fail? That's forward four years after that video, Trump invades Iran with Netanyahu. Iran responds with strikes in the region and Saudi Arabia's economy contracts. The Saudi sovereign wealth fund is strained and it can no longer meet its commitments.

39:13And so it's no longer investing in or putting money in these loss losers or when it comes to loss leaders, these projects. And the whole point of doing the like you also get like the reason they did this was not because they loved Donald Trump, right? They're thinking about their own countries and they got what they wanted. Saudi Arabia wants nuclear capabilities. Trump's giving them that and giving them all of these weapons. The United Arab Emirates wants semi conductor chips that were highly classified. These black well chips that we never gave out, they got there. So what's there even incentive they got with they've got those things and then Trump destroys their economies. So then they want more and more from him. You see what's happening here. Do you see what's happening here? So then pivoting to Canada for a moment. Charlie Angus, the head of Midas Canada. And Charlie's been warning and been spot on about everything Trump related and this regimes

40:18behavior for quite some time. Charlie as you may know is in addition to being a former member of parliament and DP party. In addition to being someone who would give mine tours in the area with the mining community that he represented, he's a historian on a lot of topics, but especially fascism. And he knows the fascist predators type that they keep on going and going and going and going and going. Ultimately until they have to be stopped, they have to be stopped and their malignant narcissism also drives them to destructive decisions as well and Charlie predicted all of this. So here's what Charlie posted this morning as Canada's retaliatory tariffs 50% or more 50% dollar for dollar tariffs are in effect. And if Canada wants to, I mean, there's so many things that Canada could do that would

41:18just destroy the US economy right now. Whether it comes with energy and electricity, whether it comes with crude rare earths, there are numerous areas that Canada could just say, yeah, we're not doing that anymore. And that would cause cataclysmic impact. But the calculus also is one of national interests. Yeah, there's a balance though, right? It's kind of the discussion we had earlier. Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about the United States of America. In fact, Donald Trump hates the United States of America. He hates the people here. He hates our military. He calls them suckers and losers. What do you think he says about his support? What do you think he says about the American people? Trump hates America. He hates the United States, okay? Trump, let's like Trump. That's it. Trump doesn't even like the billionaire guys. He just likes them if they give him their money and give him their stuff. And tell him he's great. That's another reason. Otherwise, they're disposable too.

42:21So Trump doesn't care if the United States suffers or if people suffer. He does it. He's truly, the question for him is him. So he looks at his stock portfolio, his companies, his buying. It's just the equation is just him and his gluttonous, ghastly, grotesque, goblin-like behavior. That's his only focus. It's him, him, him. But Canada is like, okay, we're a nation. We're sovereign. Prime Minister Karin is like, I have to protect the Canadian people. That's my job. That's the oath I took. That's what we do here. That's how nations generally operate. Donald Trump doesn't operate from the perspective of national interest. He operates from the perspective of Trump interest. And that is weak. That is weak sauce as a federal judge described one of the other Trump regime schemes earlier

43:23today. But listen to what Charlie Angus said earlier today about Besant saying that, you know, Canada is like the doxin that's yipping. And Angus is like, do you hear us yipping? Y'all in the US are doing the yipping. Y'all are the winers. Like, we're good. Just get the hell away losers. Got it. Understood. You're losers. Okay, stay away. Stay there. Season, Decyst, restraining order, predators. Get the hell away. That's what they feel. Listen to what Angus says. Play this clip. Okay, but as part of this broader pattern, I mean, Scott Besant saying the Canada is like a yipping little dog. I don't know, folks. Have you been hearing any yipping from us? We've been getting trolled by Pete Hegs has been trolling our teenage, teenage girls who volunteered to become cadets to serve their countries trolling them. We have Pete Hukstra, the disgraceful ambassador actively undermining our country trolling

44:27us about them trying to rename the lakes. We have Scott Besant Conn as yipping dogs, Donald Trump doing these pitiful posts. It's really, it's hard, it's hard to watch the decline of an empire. Ghosts in such a manner that it is, it is, it's like this bizarre clown show and nobody, nobody is saying, hey, wait a minute, stop this. You were, you were picking a needless fight here in a fight you can't afford right now, even all the economic crisis that the Americans are facing, they continue to think that they can somehow, if they humiliate us or embarrass us or get under our skin with a meme, we're going to come back and ask to be their friends, ain't ever going to happen. That's the thing. I mean, the Trump regime's view because their sicko predators is if we just bomb you more around, that's going to make you want to do a deal with us. If we threaten you more and try to inflict more pain and mock you more and meme you more

45:33or whatever the hell Trump does, then you're going to say, ah, please stop, please stop. Can we do a deal, sir? Sir, this is too much for me to handle all of your memes. No, national interest, national sovereignty, you know, and it brings you into the equation about just how weak these Trump scumbags are, these magas psychos are, right? These demons that they think that that will make people break. There are things that are more important in life than just some fake deal. Deal! Deal, deal, deal, deal, deal, deal, deal, everybody up, Donald Michael Deals. Idiot, he's an idiot. He is an idiot. And no, all of the deal with Donald Trump. Everyone knows you're an idiot. You're stupid, you're dumb dumb. You got dumb and dumb or a wit cough and cushion or behaving like buffoons and I'd

46:38probably wish they were, that would be an upgrade. Vladimir, this is going to be what we talk about when we retire Vladimir. Oh, I think we've made great progress on setting up future talks about frameworks for trilateral talk frameworks in the future. We're moving it losers. Y'all are loser human beings. And let's stop clapping for these people like there's some wallresses that just ate a sardine, okay? Oh, no, no, he ate a sardine. Look at him. He's making up stories about 9-11.

50:47Welcome back to been on breaking news. I'm Ben Mycelas. This is your breaking news. I was just watching a Bloomberg anchor who says, if you were to design a sire to help China become the global hegemon and replace the United States and destroy the dollar and remove the post-World War II architecture. If you were to design the sire, you wouldn't be able to design it disfavorable to China right now. And that's why I also do extensive coverage every morning. I try to do one video on what's going on throughout the world to show you the global architecture shifting with the United States rapidly becoming weaker and more isolated and alienated. And you see the ascendancy of these other blocks.

51:51And it's fascinating because when the fascinating may not be the right word because it's so dystopian. But when the Trump regime came into power, you heard Marco Rubio talk about we want to move away from a U S lead global order to a multi-polar world. And the way he described it was the U S dominates the Western hemisphere. And it dominates Asia and Russia dominates Ukraine and Europe. They kind of leave out Africa from the equation because it's Trump. But that's the kind of world view that they have except it is a because everything they execute is incompetent and pathetic.

52:51I mean, with all of the resources they threw and all of the pronouncements about the reflecting pool, I'm going to show you the video. But it's like an absolute wreck. They're reflecting pools an absolute disaster right now. It's a shithole. And I get it's worth like a literally like it looks bankrupt. But imagine the people who brought you that, the people who brought you the fireworks show on July 4th where you couldn't even see the fireworks because they all blew up at once and you just saw a bunch of smoke right? The people who continue to engage in such awful conduct before grand juries that cases get dismissed because they just violate the grand jury rules right? I mean the people who didn't think through the most basic logistics of like we have troops. Troops must eat. Troops need food. Has to come somewhere. That would be Bahrain might want to protect it, bud.

53:54When you go into a stupid war and unlawful war, you may want to protect the logistic routes. I'll get you to realize that that's what happens in war. I don't know dummies. Maybe you shouldn't have fired Army Chief of Staff Randy George or General Donaue or CQ Brown Jr., the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs or any of the other top officials in our military and top service members and replace them with Hegsith who couldn't run a small veterans nonprofit. He was let go or pushed out for mismanagement with all these heinous allegations against him. I don't know. I mean like we have the dumbest people running this country. So we expect them to be proficient in global world order architecture. To Xi Jinping and Wang Yi, foreign minister of China and Putin and Lavrov and Karel Demetriev and Yuri Yushakov and who else do you got?

54:58Foreign minister, Rancchi of Iran and you know these people, you know, they're looking at dummies, Besent and Besen's and Dummies. They're looking at Whitkopf and Kushner and part of the whole plan with these guys with Whitkopf and Kushner is like it's part of the humiliation ritual for Russia to inflict the pain on the United States by having like literally the two dumbest people. You realize that is part of Russia's plan. That the two dumbest people out there are going around like some goofy Hollywood movie except it's real and painful. What are they going to negotiate today like Ace Ventura pet detective in real life, right? Like I don't know, it was a stupid movies but you know with with the red and stimpy over

55:59here, right? They go out there. Oh, hello, boy, really, really stupid people and they know that in terms of America's the world sees this and the world's like, oh, really? Freaking really, these people, these people and so you know, you have a the way Trump has been able to destroy the US power. The way he's been is is is actually why the Bloomberg reporters says if you were to design a sire to do it, you couldn't have executed it this flawlessly because it is ripping apart every damn day. And there are people who you know, Republicans, these magas are like such sick offense. They're like, oh, okay, okay, okay. I see what you're doing. All right. I'll ask you what you're doing there. Okay, it's three dimensional chess, everybody. Okay, no, it's not.

56:59It's not you, you promised back in March this war would be over and April would be over and Iran would blow up in May and June and July and August and you know what folks, it's never going to end. It's only going to escalate more. Let me just think about even this morning what Iran was able to do. They shot down another MQ drone. It seems like every day they just shoot down an MQ drug. And they released the video of shooting the MQ one drone. We then have an AUV, one of these unarmed or unmanned submersives that are in the ground. These like unmanned submersive submarines. Iran was able to capture one of those in these straight-of-hormos. You see it right here. One of the US military's most advanced unmanned underwater vehicles was seized by the Iranian armed forces at the entrance of the straight-of-hormos during a complex intelligence and field operation and brought into Iran. And then our lying sent-com, which just had to announce that 26 service members were

58:04injured today, then they go, oh, that was an outdated model of it. That wasn't the new one. That was the old one, everybody. It's like, no, that's the Navy dive LD. That's the new one. And Iran releases the movie of it. And of course, it's the new one, the highly classified one. But sent-com still goes with their lie. We're all stupid. They're like, old, not real. Not the real one. I'll show you the video. I think I sent-com. US underwater drone that malfunctioned more than a day before Iran's announcement was an older model with no classified sensors or sensitive data. Washington has not confirmed Iran recovered the vehicle or that it was a dive LD. They're so stupid. It's just so stupid. Do we have the video, Jeremy, of the 22nd video of the US official admitting? Yeah, let's play this.

59:07We're truly the dumbest right now. Then comes the video of it, folks. You all remember the Perry Mason moments from all of the various Trump trials because he always loses when he goes to trial. In the E. Jean Carol case, they would say the most sick and disgusting things because he's a predator. He's a sicko. And he would be like, well, one of the reasons I couldn't have sexually assaulted E. Jean Carol, she's not my type.

1:00:08She's not my type that I sexually, I mean, really that's what you're sick, sick, sick, sicko for saying that. The type of person who would cover up a child sex trafficking ring like the Epstein file, kind of consistent low lack of character right there. But then Roberta Kaplan, E. Jean Carol's lawyer, shows a photo of Donald Trump who's like, I never met her. Never met her before. Never met her before. And she's not my type. Okay. I want you to look at this photo right here. That's my wife. Trump goes, that's my wife. That's Marla Maples. Oh, you think that's Marla? So that would be your, that's Marla. So that's your type. Yeah, that's Marla. Okay. That's E. Jean Carol. Oh. Oh. Okay. And you saw that behavior and the guy found civilly liable for being a sex predator for sexually assaulting, okay?

1:01:08And does that. Don't you see that Senncom is just doing that as Senncom? Oh, they never showed the video of it. They never showed the video of it. Really, they never showed the video of it. Here, Jeremy, show the video of it. Here, play the clip one more time. Show the video of it. Bro, they're putting the dramatic music on it. Like, do you see what they're doing? I can never imagine. I can never have imagined that, that the country I lived in would be run by some sort of mischievous, like, I can't, I can't. I look, I can't be very, very clear. We should never, ever have been involved in this catastrophic war.

1:02:12So I ain't endorsing a modicum of this at all. You would think that the United States would have a plan. Nope. You would think that they would be like, yeah, our sailors need to eat. Nope. Never thought about that one. Never thought about that one. By the way, it's the same thing. It's like, when they rip down the East Wing of the White House, did you want to do a spestous mitigation? No, you didn't think to do a spestous mitigation. No, you just had to rip it down. Watch what happens in 15, 20 years. People are going to develop messathelioma around that. A lot of people are. Some of the particles that they have of it because there was a spestous everywhere in that East Wing. Oh my god, you know, Biden's fault. Biden should have done the spestous mitigation. By everything they do is stupid, is blaming their losers, their predators, and the whole world's caught on.

1:03:13Like, you remember these great movies we grew up with, Saving Private Ryan and I don't mean to paint just some perfectly unicorn utopian view of the United States far from it. And frankly, the more you learn about a lot of the history directed towards the Middle East and others, that you were blind. You know, that a lot of us here in the United States are just regurgitating a certain propaganda set that we get, by the way. Not just Trump, okay, that this level of imperialism and this behavior and domination and exploitation goes back. But maybe there shouldn't be a bite. But no one denied the status as a superpower or that the US would back up the threat with

1:04:19real muscle and that the US had a plan, whether you thought the plan was a plan that was globally in the interest of some countries, understatement, understand. But you would be like, okay, well, there's a plan and these are smart people and there's thought going into this. Right? I mean, Henry Kissinger, evil human being in a lot of ways and most ways. But his planning of making US treasuries indispensable and the petrodollar indispensable was at least part of a plan that had, I don't know, they weren't waking up and going, oh,

1:05:24look at me draw, you know, I'm going to meme, let me meme this, I'm going to meme, I'm going to meme you, I'm going to I'm going to meme you so badly. And I don't know to see, this is this, these are, these are the guys post, they like where we're, you know, we're, we're, we're crazy people here. This is what we've become. And then we have, then we have people who clap at the wall, when he eats his sardine. And then we have some like ridiculous regime media. Did you see this? Did you see this on CBS state regime media CBS? Remember how like we don't know who the pilots were of this report in F-15 that crashed in Iran? Did you see this? And this is how they're, this is Barry wise CBS, right? They're thinking about bringing on Maria Barnaroma. This is, this is the segment that they're airing that they, this is a real post that they,

1:06:28it's isn't, this isn't an SNL skit. This is real about how they're going to roll out this F-15 pilot. Watch for yourself here, play this clip. An American officer, call sign, dude 444 Bravo. Somewhere over the mountains of Iran, shot down with a broken parachute. Hit the ground once somewhere between 70 and 100 miles an hour. Wounded, alone, the enemy closing in, 50 hours to get him out. Did you ever have any doubt that the US military was coming for you? What the, they give it a new season. Dude Bravo, 4.0. Did you have any doubt? We can't show you his face. We can't show, we can't show you who he is. It looks like the stupidest propaganda in the world. We're supposed to buy, like you just think we're the dumbest people. Dude Bravo, 4.0, dude Bravo everybody.

1:07:32Okay, this is a secret. He gets, the big reveal happens on the eighth episode of the bachelor. We put dude Bravo. Is he going to bring a rose, dude Bravo is going to bring a rose to Maria Barteroma and invite her on a date. I mean, what is this? What is this? This is a real thing. Take it serious. Dude Bravo, for the first time ever, you're going to see him. Be a dude. And Bravo, we're not going to talk about how the hell are f15s keep getting shot out of the sky. But did you ever doubt they were going to come for you right by the Isfahan nuclear facility with hundreds of servicemen, with hundreds of Marines randomly by the nuclear facility. Not suspicious at all. I mean, we think we're just, they just think we're all dumb. They think we're the stupidest people. And I guess that's what they rely on. I guess they rely on us not like us.

1:08:32Oh, I guess you're going to, I guess you're going to trick us with all of that. You know, with everything that's going on right now too, I also always want to mention that, you know, the group that's constantly getting crushed in on us, everybody in America but farmers also, I just want to show you this as well. Farmers are growing, are going broke amid rising gas prices while the agriculture secretary literally profits off of them. A new report finds that Trump is making millions off his oil and gas stocks. His administration officials are likely as well. So as farmers are grappling with soaring diesel and fertilizer prices and the Department of Agriculture Yang's support of cheaper renewable forms of energy, the agency's chief, Brooke Rollins is carrying millions, they can't control themselves these people. Brooke, Brooke Rollins is carrying millions in highly profitable oil and gas investments.

1:09:36In disclosure reports filed in July, Rollins indicated that she and her husband Mark Rollins and oil and gas industry. Exactly. They're dooms. These are evil demon people together hold as much as $2.5 million in fossil fuel investments. At least one million of that is in HKN to a limited partnership with oil and gas interest in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Another one million at least is in Hillwood Energy New Ventures, which has interest in oil and gas operations in Texas, Rollins home state. Rollins also disclose that she holds between 250,000 and 500,000 in investments in operating companies that own oil and gas assets in Texas. And then Donald Trump's got all of these gas and oil stocks as well. It is ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And here's my perspective on it.

1:10:36I want to hear your perspective on it also. I'd love to hear from you. Which is you can never do a deal with Donald Trump ever. You can't do a deal with this guy. You can't, if you're the Democrats coming in, you're not, what are you going to do? You're going to talk to Donald Trump about a forward to come on. To focus, I think we all agree needs to be ruthless and relentless accountability oversight. And that needs to be communicated clearly to the American people what the oversight accountability plan is. You can't do a deal with Trump and you don't want to attach yourself to anything Trump-related policy. He's a disaster. So to me, every day, every damn day, there should be at least three hearings a day on these

1:11:41topics. And Navy Seal style it. Navy Seal style and Delta Force style it. But before we fire Donnie you and actually the top Navy Seal and Delta Force alums. And just hearing, hearing, hearing, hearing, hearing, hearing, hearing, hearing, hearing, right? Independent news will carry it. Millions of people will watch it. Call them every damn day. Call them up. Cross-examina. Next, next, next. And then at the end of the day, hold the press conference. Here's what we learned today. Here's what we uncovered today. Every damn day. That should be the plan. Every damn day. That's my view. We're not going to do a deal with these people. You can't do a deal with awful humans at all. You can't do a deal with terrible people. That's it. That's my plan. That's how I think it should be. And don't get, you know, don't, there's nothing to work with Trump about.

1:12:42You can't work with this guy. You can't work with this guy. Anyway, that's what I think. What do you think, everybody? I've enjoyed spending this. How were 10 minutes with you all? Appreciate you. To the farmers. We're thinking about you. To all the workers out there. The day after Labor Day. We're thinking about you. To all the people here and abroad. We're thinking about you. To our maple mites and our Canadian viewers. We're thinking about you. We're grateful for you. We appreciate you. We stand in solidarity with you. To our other international viewers, whether you're watching this in Europe, for Australia, or the Middle East, or Africa, or Asia, or Mexico, or Central America, or South America, or the Caribbean, or wherever you're watching this from. We stand with all of those who support freedom, who stand against this authoritarianism,

1:13:42who stand for human rights and civil rights, and dignity, and peace, and love, and empathy. And that's what we want our mission and legacy to be here at the Midas Touch Network is to talk about those things, about what life is really all about. Family, empathy, community, leaving this world a better place. And maybe I sound corny. Maybe I sound corny, but you know, I still believe hope springs eternal. And I still believe that this is the way for a better future. And I still think we'll have a better future together. I definitely think we will. All right, thanks everybody. That's all I got. That's all I got. Appreciate you. I'll be doing more coverage throughout the day. Watch all the videos that I'm going to be posting. I'll try to keep us informed and updated. All right, let's see. Shout out to my teammates.
