MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 9/1/26

0:00We've got a lot to cover on this episode of the MidasTouch podcast, more US military strikes against Iran this time. The US hitting purported rocket launchers on the Larrick Island in Iran. Iran responded by striking US military bases in Jordan, in the United Arab Emirates, and in Qatar. Apparently, striking and damaging targets in those military bases, which the Trump regime denies. However, the latest developments there, more US attacks against Canada in the form of a catastrophic trade war launched by Donald Trump against a country that had always been our greatest ally here in the United States. Weak pathetic individuals in the Trump regime attacking Canada and saying, Canada treats us more unfairly than any country in the world. We saw whiny, whiny Trump regime officials this weekend and throughout the day. The US continues to attack basically the rest of the world, other than Putin and she

1:04and Kim Jong-un, who Donald Trump continues to lick their boots while they mock Donald Trump at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Kiergistan. And then in a week or so, there will be another meeting in New Delhi, India as part of the BRICS meeting, Donald Trump weakening our alliances while other alliances forming and strengthening abroad. Then you had Donald Trump's announcement of that dirty, fraudulent fake Venezuela deal. And I say dirty for a lot of reasons as well. The actual deal itself, one of these phony, corrupt Trump purported deals, although we haven't actually seen it in writing, surprise, surprise. But also the Venezuelan oil, the kind of tarry, sour, viscous, dense oil is not something that can easily be refined anytime soon. So when Donald Trump says, we're going to use this to fill up the strategic petroleum reserves.

2:06Eh, false. That oil can't even be used in the salt caverns in the United States, strategic petroleum reserves in Texas and Louisiana. It just doesn't work here. And so we will expose that because I think we need to pay a lot of attention that that's just another market manipulation scheme. You had the Maga Republic in Congress returning for what five hours today. And then they're like, yeah, could we leave? And so Maga, Mike Johnson's like, yeah, we're going to just probably just recess again and just go home. We don't want to actually do any work here. So we'll cover that. But I'll tell you what, when you saw some of these Maga or Republican fascist clowns today on the various networks and trying to defend what Donald Trump's been doing to destroy our country, they looked, I don't know if you caught this visibly shaken, we'll cover that. I mean, it just looked almost like a parody, like an SNL skit. It was so freaking embarrassing what they were doing on a serious note, though, you have

3:09the Supreme Court showing you once again how supremely corrupt and illegitimate they are with these right wing fascists that dominate the Supreme Court. They basically said Donald Trump's golden ballroom, probably not legal, but there's just no standing for anybody to block it. So the historic preservation group that filed the lawsuit, we just don't think that they have standing most likely what Trump is doing, very illegal, but wrong plaintiff. Well, who would be the right plaintiff, the Supreme Court? Maybe the fact that our Constitution requires that the president take care that laws be faithfully executed. So under your paradigm, there's literally nobody in the world that could ever block a rogue president who you give absolute immunity to because no one will have standing other than the executive branch, which is not using the good faith to take care that our laws are faithfully executed.

4:10We'll talk about that. And then there's other things. I mean, the Defense Department continues to unravel. We learned that they have a network of mag-influencers who are all over X who are actually feds. They're actually the deep state, right? Isn't it just so fascinating that the people who warned about the Epstein cabal, right? They were the Epstein cabal, the people who warned about the deep state and the feds are actually the deep state feds. I wonder how they did that. And so there's this network of special government employees who just spew the Defense Department propaganda and they pretend that they're like these big influencers. They have big accounts and they're actually getting paid by the taxpayers and they work for the Defense Department and they don't disclose it. We'll talk about that. And then there was a massive leak. The Secretary of Defense Order book, the SDOB, a highly classified document that actually showed that all other than the sent-com Brad Cooper guy who's an absolute clown, this

5:13guy has destroyed his credibility. I mean, the way sent-coms be able to, but all of our other top generals and admirals all gave a non-concurrence regarding the Defense Department's war plans generally, meaning that they don't support the current strategy or future strategy. All of them have a non-concurrence. And while maybe non-concurrences here or there have occurred when they all say we don't concur with your war plan, that's a big, big deal. We'll talk about that in more Bret and Jordy. How are you doing? Great to see you. Great to see you too, Ben. Great to see you, Jordy. Great to see you. Midas mighty. Wow. That reporting about the Pentagon paying these MAGA influencers was such a snap of the focus moment for me because it's something that we've speculated on for a long time. We knew there was something behind this. I always assumed it was more of like a dark money operation, you know, kind of hiding payments and things like that. And by the way, I'm still sure that a lot of that is still going on as well.

6:15But the fact that they're literally bringing these people into the federal government, hiring people who have followings on X in order to spread government propaganda while they act like they are the people against the establishment and against the man when they are quite literally feds, not much could be more on brand for the Trump regime. And this is the people who called remember the people who they were like January 6th. It was all feds who did it, right? These are the people who were the QAnon people who would say that they were going to blow the lid off this entire sex trafficking ring. They ended up being the ones who ended up defending the Epstein files and fighting hard in order to protect Donald Trump and get Donald Trump elected. So I think I'm seeing a little bit of a theme here and develop. I'm excited to get into all of it. We got a lot of news today. Jorny, what's the latest in your end? Brothers, my name is Marty. I am so excited to get into today's show. Personal note, Benji, and I'll toss it to you.

7:15The answer is no. Baby, it's not arrived just yet. And I'm actually under strict orders where I can't say I might even get a text during the show that it might have. Some people in my universe are saying that I'm jinxing it by saying it and actually delaying it further by hinting that it could happen. So it's definitely not going to happen during the recording of this show. So I just want to say that. Benji pumped again into today's show. I mean, what a laundry list that you rattled off there to begin with where we started off today, big bro. Well, take you to Tel Aviv, where one of Donald Trump's chief propagandists. One of his new chief propagandists who's been reporting from Tel Aviv for quite some time, not sure why he needs to actually be there, but his name is Tray Yings over at State Regime Media Fox. This morning, Donald Trump told Mr. Yings that the US is going to start ramping up some attacks on Iran. We're going to start it back up again. He said, and that was after the US struck rocket launchers, apparently in Larrick Island in Iran last night, Iran responded by striking US air bases in the region in Georgia.

8:21In Jordan, there was two bases there. One that we know has been hit over and over again, Mufawik, the salty air base over there in Jordan, another of the Hussein air base over there in Jordan. Now you did over in Qatar and air base in the UAE. Of course, all these countries said we intercepted everything, but the heat images that come from some of these surveillance footage and companies and some of the satellite footage actually show that there were indeed lots of successful strikes from Iran. In addition, it seems that there were dozens and dozens, perhaps even a hundred, those pack three interceptors that were used for a million dollars each. So you could do the math of how much money was spent by the Trump regime further depleting our interceptor stockpile in the past 24 hours. But Donald Trump rushes calls up State Regime Media and here's what Tray Yings has to say play this clip. Yeah, Lawrence, good morning. I just spoke with President Trump who told Fox News the United States will respond to

9:25the Iranian attack on U.S. forces overnight in Jordan. The president said we're going to hit them hard. There will be a response. It's not Groundhogs Day, although it feels like it for sure. That's actually new footage, but you could probably say, didn't he just say that like four weeks ago, six weeks ago? And yeah, that's what's going on. Then after calling Tray Yings, Donald Trump and other Trump officials then reach out to Barack Reveed. These are the two top propagandists who spread this news usually at the same time. So you've got Tray Yings, State Regime Media Fox out of Tel Aviv, and then you have Barack Reveed also reporting from Israel as well. He's with Axios. He's one of Donald Trump's chief kind of stenographers as well. And this is what Reveed posted. Trump has been considering a Sen-Con plan for waging limited strikes in the Strait of Hormuz to prevent Iran from reconstituting its radar and missile capabilities to attack ships according to three U.S. officials.

10:27It's always that. According to three U.S. officials, I wonder who the three real officials are. It's always the same U.S. officials. It's the same people. It's probably Trump, Kushner and Woodkov or some variation of that as well. It's like sources are telling me that the most good looking brothers on the planet are Ben bread and Joris. According to sources, high level sources. High level sources that might as touch. This is how Barack Reveed says it was told to him though. One U.S. officials said the idea behind the plan is to reduce the risk of Iranian attacks on oil tankers, U.S. Navy ships and Air Force aircraft to mow the lawn as this person put it. First off, mow the lawn is a genocidal term. It's a war criminal term. I just want you to think about what that means. Mow the lawn. Literally means just demolish areas. Mow the lawn. It's also an idiotic term in addition to being genocidal because perhaps not the Mar-a-Lago

11:28lawn or other lawns that Donald Trump doesn't upkeep. But kind of like the reflecting pool, if you painted blue, the algae always comes back. The thing about mowing the lawn every two weeks, you got to do it again. So even saying that that's what you're going to do, probably something that you may want to reflect on. It's an admission of a, we're just going to mow the lawn. The lawn goes back. You mow the lawn and what they're talking about though also is war crimes and genocide is what they're actually saying. So then Donald Trump holds a Oval Office presser and Donald Trump says that he's going to smack them around. I'm going to smack him, he says. And look, this guy you have to understand, he's a predator, right? If you think about Venezuela, when we'll talk about it a bit, how it's a fraudulent fake deal, but what's it actually about? It's about dominance. It's about submission. It's about humiliation rituals. That's what it's really about. Fundamentally, the deal's total bullshit.

12:30It's made up, but it's about humiliating yourself to Donald Trump. He's a predator. What is his intention with Canada, 51st day? It is predatoryal. It is about submission. It is about dominance. And the fact that you have northern border country that's happy and diverse and has health care. Trump sees that and the sick goes around him and they're predators that get some angry. They hate that. That's why they say Canada is the worst country to them because they see happiness and these predators hate this happiness and their mindset is always. If we just hit them harder, if we just make them suffer even more, then they will stop saying no. And they'll finally say yes, because they're predators, the Trump regime, they're criminals and they're predators. And you have to view everything through that perspective.

13:32So he or he is saying he's going to smack them. He's going to smack them hard here playing this clip. Of course, his gun, their surveillance equipment is almost entirely gone. That doesn't mean we won't smack them. We'll see what happens. But we have the street of hormones in extremely good shape. You know, we're taking over many, many ships that got through last night, as you know. But then what's actually happening, let's be clear. Okay, I don't do any of that. I just will for the sake of diligence. We don't control the straight of hormones. Another super tanker was hit by a mine last night. There have been multiple tankers hit in the past few days by Iran. The actual amount of oil coming out according to tank trackers is probably closer to four million barrels a day before the war. We were talking about 20 million barrels a day.

14:35I don't want to act like nothing's coming out, but we're talking about fractions of what was coming out before. And obviously, if you look at the strategic petroleum reserves and the salt caverns that we have here, where the strategic petroleum reserves are kept. They're like these, they're the salt caverns that are used with this mixture of crude that's been developing with water. And then you kind of extract it. And I go into detail in a lot of videos. I won't bore you with all those details now. But there's a reason why those petroleum reserves here in the United States are going lower and lower. Okay. If you look at what's happening in one of the main hubs where lots of the pipelines connect here in the United States in Cushing, Oklahoma, you're also seeing all of the evidence that the supply of oil has been depleted. And also, you can obviously evaluate the gas prices, supply and demand. If there was this huge amount of supply as the Trump regime claims, then what we could

15:35expect is the prices of oil, the gas you use and the diesel to start going down, but they keep on going up because the supply shock is real. And when we talk about in the next segment, the whole Venezuela, fraudulent deal, it's to have Donald Trump say, this is going to be used to fill the strategic petroleum reserves when people who understand the most basic aspects of oil know that that tarry oil doesn't go in the strategic petroleum reserves. It's like the most basic thing. It's basically Trump saying inject yourself with bleach and you'll get rid of COVID. It's like a variation of that. But what Trump has been doing is posting deranged AI videos striking Carg Island, which hasn't been hit via AI videos. Carg Island being blown to smithereens, DJT, and it's this AI video of war crimes being

16:36committed mowing the lawn, if you will, to use their genocidal war criminal term in Carg Island. So I drum dates as data centers. He's got to crank out the AI slot. He's not winning the war in real life. So he needs to win the war in the fictional world of AI. It's a really pathetic strategy. And part of it, I wonder if he's trying to kind of pull one over his own supporters who maybe don't know the difference between real life and AI. Like he posted that. He didn't say this is AI. He didn't, you know, there was no disclaimer on it. And if you're scrolling past and you're, you know, I assume if you're an older person who's not used to seeing AI videos every day. And why would you think what the president of the United States, someone who you trust in this guy? I don't know why you trust the guy who's lied to you about everything. But this is the person you've decided to put your trust into once again. Don't understand how that works. And he's posting videos like this during an actual war. I think he almost wants his people to believe it. Like a look. See, he is actually doing damage. Look, he did strike Carg Island when he obviously didn't.

17:37This didn't happen. It's just an AI video. There's so much AI slop coming from him like every single day. And it just, it's just become a bizarre kind of aspect of the kind of proliferation of AI and his insistence on doubling down on just unfettered data centers in your backyard everywhere. Like the way this is being used for warfare and the way this is being used for messaging and in particular kind of messaging for an authoritarian regime, the way all the White House accounts are using it. It's all just a very disturbing kind of development and use case of it to me. Absolutely. And look, I'll even go a step further, Brett, you know, posting this to confuse his followers whether or not this happened. I'm like convinced in this in my own personal belief here that Donald Trump thinks this hat like I don't think he realizes it's AI. I think when he gets a lot of this stuff that AI slop from his people, it's to appease him, right? Maybe he's getting antsy about how we doing the war, how we doing it. And so they send him these like videos to just kind of like, you know, make him like calm down or whatnot.

18:38I'm not convinced he has not shown me any of the mental fitness for me to be like, okay, he's posting this to put one over on his followers. I think he thinks it's real. That's where I'm planted in my flag here. You can't get away with it. You can't get away with it. It's like the theory is not outrageous. I mean, he's the same person claiming that our strategic petroleum reserves are about to be filled up with Tari Venezuela and oil and that that's going to save the day when it's absolutely the what's not going to happen. And then I mean, if you go deeper into what went down in the Venezuela thing, no private companies really came into this investment group. So the Trump regime created through the Pentagon a Trump oil company basically to do business with a very corrupt person in Venezuela, who comes from they call them like a bully Chico, these rich young chavistas who are very much aligned with Hugo Chavez, his name

19:39is Bentacort, aligned with Hugo Chavez and the regime in Venezuela right now where the US is basically pretending through its own state owned oil company that I guess we're creating that Congress didn't approve, which is patently unlawful. But perhaps our United States Supreme Court is going to say, but no one has standing to sue the block it. Who can, who's going to be able to sue? I mean, we'll talk about the standing issue, but that may be an issue where the Supreme Court goes, but there's no standing. Nobody can stop it. And it's like, okay, well, it's clearly patently unlawful and against everything about our separation of powers. You're not a person. Supreme Court, but any is also the same guy who was convinced that Kilmar Brego Garcia actually had MS 13 tattooed on his knuckles when it was literally put there by his government and not even AI by like probably MS paint or something, just literally writing the letters on the knuckles. And he kept remember when he held it at who's the ABC reporter is no longer there and

20:39was like yelling at him like there was those bonkers. And then in Iranian general, Muhammad Resa Nakhdi today said this, he goes, so we expected victory because we were certain and confident in God's promise and his support that Iran would ultimately prevail. But we didn't expect victory to come this easily. These are my goodness. I mean, they're just saying we didn't really expect it to become like this easy. He gave another quote during this interview, which was actually an example that I gave, which is, you know, you could have some of the best players on your team, like if this is a world cup team. But ultimately, like if your captain is giving you like incorrect instructions or telling you to play a different game, like you could have the best team, but you're going to lose. Like you can still put out and they're like, look, the US clearly has a bigger military. They're far more powerful and strong, but they don't know what the hell they're doing. And then we have a strategy. And that's why we've been able to, you know, take the strategic initiative, whether it's

21:42controlling the straight of our moves or developing a level of strategic deterrence as the US depletes its missiles and its interceptors. And we run out of weapons. So JD Vance was asked about it on his way to Michigan, where he just gave one of the weirdest speeches ever today. But Vance was asked, so on Iran, Donald Trump tweeted this AI slot. Like what's your view about Donald Trump tweeting fake war videos of Carlisle being blown up that didn't happen? Like you're cool with that JD, you're playing this clip. On Iran, the president tweeted some AI generated video of bombing of Carlisle. Is that meant to be a warning or what was the messaging there? Why did the president tweet that? Well, you know, like the president likes to switch it up on social media a little bit. He would be the first to say, he doesn't make announcements about military actions on social media. But I think that he's sending a message to the Iranians, look, we know that they continue to shoot a commercial shipping. We continue to have a lot of tools at our disposal to prevent them from doing so or at least

22:45cut down on them from doing so. And that's what the president is saying is, look, you guys are shooting at commercial shipping. You guys are behaving like a terrorist country. You've got to stop and there are going to be some thoughts on that. That's what he was doing with the AI slot video of Carlisle. All right. The interpretation by the way, he does announce military action on his social media account all the time. He goes at my direction. Like all the time, all the bombings he does is all the JD's, JD's excuse was Trump, that rascal. I mean, that's that's what that just summed up. It is unbelievable that we have a commander in chief right now who is so clearly cognitively out of like Donald Trump is that we can't even really come to a strong conclusion whether or not he knows what he's posted is AI and mean it. That's the scary landscape there. And then you have JD trying to run cover for him and he goes, have you rascal? You know, you know, you know how Trump is Trump being Trump. But that's to me why the Natalie Harp story is such an important story, you know, beyond the kind of palace intrigue kind of, you know, is it in the fair?

23:47Does she do his diaper? You know, you see all the various things. But the fact that this unelected individual is controlling what goes on the most powerful person in the world's social media account that could move markets that could lead to insider trading that could start wars, that could announce wars, that could cause, you know, a whole number of issues. This person has so much power over Donald Trump and she's just putting these things in front of them, whether it's, you know, this AI video or, you know, a tweet of him on Mount Rushmore or whatever stupid thing it is. And then they're posting it out. And so this person, this unelected individual actually has an outsized amount of power in this country. And I think it's important the same way that we're now just kind of finding out the very tip of the iceberg about who the Trump regime is paying as these maggot influencers that you see on Twitter and other social media. I think it's important that we have a greater understanding of what is this person putting

24:51out? What are the approval protocols? Well, how is this entire thing working? Because contrary to what J.D. Vance is saying, Trump does announce a lot of stuff from a social media account and he has made that a means of communication with world leaders, threatening Iran with total obliteration. And so when those are the kinds of messages we're seeing, I think it's actually extremely important. We know who's behind them. Of course, but to two points. One, obviously, the buck stops at the top. I mean, Donald Trump surrounds himself with these people. He's unfit. Yes, Jority, he is cognitively and physically atled and deteriorating rapidly each and every day. But look, this guy's been a loser his whole life. He's been a bankrupt. He's never been a builder. If you just go through his life, he's scared. He's weak. He's pathetic. He hides. He runs. He's been a fraud and a phony. And these qualities are now pronounced even more and they're really destroying this country.

25:53They have destroyed this country. But this guy's always been a loser. And it's now at a geopolitical level where he's a weapon of mass distraction, but a weapon of mass destruction also against the United States. I mean, the damage he's causing is irreparable. And frankly, it's just embarrassing. I don't know how any self-respecting American, any person who wants to call himself patriotic or who loves this country can look at this and on matters of war and peace, see someone in the Oval Office behave like such an utter buffoon, like such an utter clown. Really sick stuff. All right, let's take a break right now. We come back. We've got a lot more to discuss. A reminder, a book's called WTF America, it comes out October 20th, but pre-order right now, the pre-order momentum is great. We got to keep up that pre-order. If you intend to buy it in October anyway and you're able to buy it now, it really helps if you buy it now versus waiting until October. So just wanted to highlight that. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

26:53Are you one of those people who loves coffee, the taste, the smell, the whole ritual, but the caffeine sends you straight into an anxiety spiral because, well, same.

He says, Iran is officially a failed nation. It is dead. Interesting. Because the Iranian president, Pzezschian is currently in Kyrgyzstan, which Trump probably doesn't even know where that is on a map, but he's been meeting with everybody from Xi to Putin to Modi. He's like, Iran is getting a heroes welcome at this Shanghai cooperation organization meeting. And also during the BRICS meetings that are going to be taking. Nothing facetious, but Ben, objectively, I do not understand what Donald Trump's strategy right now in this war is other than tweeting that Iran has lost the war or posting AI

31:07slap of himself bombing. Like, I don't even get the strategy at this point. It's just, you just want to pretend like it's, it's just so pathetic. It is a market manipulation play, which you have to recognize is he doesn't care about national interest, right? He doesn't understand it. That's why he can't fathom why sovereign nations will stand up to him, right? He can't fathom why Canada is not submitting. It's sovereign. It's proud. It's independent. Prime Minister Karni is not working for Prime Minister Karni. He's working as a public servant for Canada, pursuing national interests over there. You know, similarly, you know, when it comes to a country like Iran, they have their own national interests. If you attack and go after them, they're not going to be like, oh, that actually makes us want to now work with you. It's like it makes any ability of ever wanting to do with you or deal with you, not going

32:11to happen. And Trump is not trying to make America great again. You have to recognize that everything the guy says is always the opposite, right? I've rebuilt the military. What does that mean? He destroyed the military. Make America great again is make America as weak as can be his interests are purely himself. So he's just trying to find the arbitrage, the deltas between the dips that he creates in the markets and when it goes back up with his other market manipulations, so he can grab for himself. So Brett, two points, Jordi, you're right. The guy is cognitively deteriorate. Both can be true at the same time, right? So there is that aspect of it, but Brett, to answer your question, it isn't about the United States because this, everything that he's doing couldn't be more damaging, right? For the United States, but it's not, it's not supposed to be, you know, in our interest. Whatever he's doing to steal from us, to take from us, to pillage the United States.

33:17That's what this is all about. Then he goes on to say Iran is a failed nation. It's dead. It isn't. They have no military. He goes on and says that. Then he goes and says the only thing they have is fake news from USA, a willingness to kill their protesters now over 100,000 people dead. They must be tried for war crimes against humanity and a good line of bullshit. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald Gitchamp, a good line of bullshit. I mean, what have you been talking about? But then this exaggerated death count number. First they said it was 30,000 in the protests in January, where Donald Trump says, we're going to help you. We're going to send our troops to say to you and then Trump didn't do anything when they were these protests. And by the way, what Iran had said is that these protests were actually done by the United States and Netanyahu. And there were a lot of people who were like, come on, that's getting into conspiratorial territory. Don't go there. And then the Trump regime put out the number and they said 30,000 people got killed. And that was a number that was kind of accepted.

34:19Okay, there's 30,000. That's what everybody was saying. There's 30,000 people that the Iran regime killed 30,000. And then Donald Trump said it was 42,000. Then he said it was 50,000. Then he says it's 100,000. And then you have to go and ask yourself these very serious questions. No doubt that there were protests. We saw the protests. We're aware. And they appeared to be protests leaning towards democracy. It's also, I've spoken with people who are professors in Iran. You've seen my interviews. There's no doubt that there had been a movement in Iran towards younger leadership, a more openness to the West, to the United States, before Trump and Netanyahu launched their second invasion in late February. So there's no doubt there was a sentiment. The Ayatollah Komeine, who the Trump regime killed, along with his daughter, his granddaughter, his son-in-law, his whole family, while they were eating dinner at their house on the

35:22first night of the war. And then the Trump regime proceeded to engage in war crimes and slaughter little girls and Minab and little girls playing volleyball. That's kind of the MO of Donald Trump, little girls killing, killing little girls. And the cover-up has relates to the Epstein files. What's the cover-up about? The cover-up involves what Epstein was doing with all the girls. So is it shocking that when you say, oh, that's what you're covering up, and this is who you're going after over there. But in any event, you make up a number 100,000. It's like, oh, got it. This is your a liar. And then it calls into question the whole thing. It calls right? And it's like, actually. Yeah, how am I supposed to believe any of the numbers if you're just making up the numbers? I guess you got to look through independent, you know, independent sources. And when you look at independent sources, it's not that it's a competition. And of course, I'm not defending this in any way. But the numbers are far lower than anything Donald Trump has ever said. They're far lower than what Trump said months ago. And they're far lower than this 100,000 numbers. So then you realize, okay, so this guy is shoveling propaganda down our throats as well.

36:26While he accuses the other side of spreading fake news and bullshit. And he's doing so in order to accept the fact that we're in this prolonged war where American soldiers are dying, where we're bombing innocent people and all the other disasters that are happening right now. And I think it just really, really foul not to mention that I think it's a betrayal to those people, to the protesters that Donald Trump, you know, has completely abandoned them after telling them to take to the streets and everything that they did. And we'll get into this when we speak about, you know, Venezuela. But you see, that's the theme of Donald Trump. The theme of Donald Trump is use these innocent people who may be fighting for their freedom or for their country. Use their stories and use that narrative in order to justify US intervention in order to justify Donald Trump coming in there and bombing a country, killing innocents. And then what happens does Donald Trump end up helping those people? No, Donald Trump then tries to take as much as he can for himself.

37:28And that's what we're seeing in Iran. That's what we're seeing in Venezuela. That's why Donald Trump is comfortable with the Maduro regime remaining in power in Venezuela. That's why Donald Trump is seemingly okay with the Iranian regime remaining in power. So long as they basically relinquish control to him and try to cut deals with him. Remember a few months ago, Donald Trump was like, oh, yeah, we're doing a JV. We're going to do a joint venture. Me and the Ayatollah, we're going to work something out together. We're going to have a business together. That's all he cares about. That's not about these other people. It's about himself. It's about enriching himself. It's about lining his own pockets. It's about enriching his family. That's what it is now. That's what it's always been. And there it is right there, Brett. Exactly. Once you start to view things through the lens of why Donald Trump, this isn't going to help America. Obviously, right? Donald Trump is doing things to help him. The top 0.0% that hang out with him at Mar-a-Lago and his children or his adult children, I should say. And that's how he leads. How can this, in my best interest, benefit me Donald Trump?

38:29That's what he's thinking. I want to take a quick step back, looking at this political landscape at large. So you have Donald Trump just lying, throwing random numbers out there, right? Hyperinflating things, making things very confusing where you're like, well, he said 100,000. So the truth has to be somewhere in the middle. So it's got to be a lot like he would lie about 100,000. That's an egregious thumb. Well, he is. He's lying. Then you have Fox News who carries his water also and starts to report on there. Then you have other Murdoch properties like the New York Post who do stuff over there. Then you have Baroque-Rovie, the histenographer. And then you have literal feds on Twitter who are tweeting and amplifying Donald Trump's messaging as if they're, I don't know, independent journalists or independent voices who are literal feds. Again, carrying the water for Donald Trump, I can understand why people are so damn confused and so vulnerable and susceptible to the misinformation and the propaganda. At a certain point, people have to take their own damn accountability, though.

39:30And look into things just a little bit further. But like, for example, in the case of literal feds operating onto it, like that's evil, man, and not disclosed like all of this stuff right now. And again, why is Twitter the preferred platform? Because Elon Musk bought it and he looks at the control of the algorithms. He's able to boost people. I've been around people, friends, family members, and you could do this test for yourself if you'd like. I don't recommend it, but you could do this test to show that I'm telling the truth here. If you make a Twitter account and don't use it, but keep your notifications on, you know what notifications they send you? They send you the notifications of the feds. They send you the notifications of these MAGA influencers as if they are legitimate breaking news because they see, oh, this is an apolitical person. This is somebody who, you know, maybe they're looking at reality TV stuff. Maybe they're talking about music. Maybe they're not talking about anything at all. They're just lurking or they just have the app. And they are beaming these messages at them so that when they read the headlines, they see the headlines that are now ironically we're finding out are crafted by the Trump regime,

40:36not independent news or influencers or anybody. And they're being beamed into people's phones. It's just really after. I want you to think about this though too. The number 100,000 as it keeps creeping up. What is that number right around? Around the amount of people who were killed in Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, right? Where that's actually a real number, right? And so when you have the real number, right, which may be even more than that, but when you have the real number and then you have this other 100,000 number, which they're saying what's on the 100,000 here, when numbers don't mean things in war and peace, in major issues regarding the economy, right? What happens? Everybody is lost. And that is the vacuum that these strong man wants to fill. You're just making up numbers about 100,000 people who were killed. And when there actually is 100,000 people who are slaughtered as part of the systematic

41:41genocide taking place, it's like that didn't happen. No, that's not the right number. And then you find out it is the right number, or we knew it's the right number. But then it's like, nah, nah, it just didn't up. It's just a number. And when Trump announces the Venezuela situation, it's not even a real deal. For me to see a deal, I need to read it. I need to see it on paper. I need to know what the players, I need to know the terms. Then there's a deal. Whatever this fake fraud framework is, what do they do right away? Boom. Shock in all you with big numbers. 65 million barrels of provable potential reserves. Provable potential reserves right there, red flag. Okay, what does that really mean? Prove a book, can you extract it? Can you refine it? What does that look like? Then you learn the history and you go, got it. It's Tari, it's bad. Donald Trump once said that it's really bad oil that nobody can actually do anything about. I know, but he once made that comment when he was saying that they're narco traffickers

42:43and they're a terrible country. And now he's like today, it's great. This is the best oil. You know what you can do with it? You can make asphalt with it. You can replenish the strategic petroleum reserves with it. No you can't. No you can't. He's like 65 billion barrels, $100 billion in investments. He said, and Venezuela, they said it will bring $220 billion of economic recovery to Venezuela. Okay, let me ask everybody this. What the hell has happened since the Trump regime has taken over Venezuela? Where has the money gone to already? It's gone to a Atari bank account with no oversight. No one knows what's actually going, is that Donald Trump's bank account in guitar right now? $8 billion has gone. In terms of the actual production of oil, since the Trump regime has taken over Venezuela, it's either at the same or it's less than it was the previous year.

43:44Okay, so there's not some massive oil gushing kind of taking place right now. And as you look deeper, what you find out, and I'll just address the Venezuela situation right here, is that this Atari dense, it's called sour. It's also a bit sulfur level. It's interesting. If you go back and look at the history in the 1800s of oil, people would taste it. And the sulfur content would tell you, is it sour, or is it sweet? But this very high sour dense, tary stuff, it's almost unusable. Okay, and it certainly, certainly can't go into our strategic petroleum reserves, which are in salt caverns, which mix this kind of water with more of the light sour to kind of medium sweet kind of oil that's brought into replenish it. And so this stuff doesn't go there. Now, you can build potential refineries that deal with this issue, or you can deal with

44:47technology that can make it capable of going into the salt caverns, or to be refined for other uses, but that would cause billions and billions and billions of dollars. And it's a violative of the US Constitution. Okay, and when there's a new administration, this is not going to be a deal that people are going to abide by. That corporations know that right now, that one's Trump's, this deal's done. And then on the Venezuela side, it's against their Constitution. You can't give access to a foreign country with this level of degree of control. So it's against their Constitution. Also, what does this do for all the people who pretended that there was going to be democratic elections, which we do is not going to be the case. If there ever was a election and the opposition party takes over, this entire arrangement will be voided right away. So all this deal does if you're delsy, is it entrenched your power because if you lose

45:48power and this incentivizes Trump to keep up the deal with the fake deal would obviously go away too because it's unworkable. It should also be noted that Venezuela owed billions of dollars to China and Russia when they went in there and tried to have somewhat heavy handed arrangements with Venezuela that did not work out because of some of the issues with the oil. And so they are fine to now deal with their spheres of influence. Why haven't you heard a peep from China or Russia about this? Because don't you think that the unwritten rule or the unwritten deal or the framework in Trump's mind is China, Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, United States, Venezuela. And Russia and China know that this is tarry oil that they can't even utilize anyway. So they're like, I mean, that's what you want to do. And it undermines US legitimacy and it strengthens their claims on Taiwan and on Ukraine because

46:54if it is now the world is the jungle law prevails, then the United States can't step up with moral authority or moral clarity. And then you just take a quick look at like who were even doing this purported deal with and it's this guy bent a court, part of the bully chico's, these people who got really rich under Hugo Chavez. He did this electricity deal is how he first kind of got rich. And what if you know some of the basic stuff about the electrical grid in Venezuela, it didn't work. They were rolling blackouts while this guy got rich. And he was under investigation in Europe and elsewhere. And this is the kind of guy that Donald Trump wants to, that is he's doing business with. So the Pentagon is entering into a, the Pentagon is forming a Trump oil company to do a deal with this bent a court guy who's this shady, not good guy in general.

47:55And they're going to extract hypothetical oil that is not the kind that can be refined. And what is Trump saying? This will replenish the strategic reserves. Gas prices are going to go down absolutely. If I can not even, I'll leave you with this on this point without totally geeking you out further on, on oil and gas discussions. Even if everything Donald Trump said was true and we had 65 barrels and it was light sour, you know, kind of like the Middle East stuff and it was stuff that we all could, you know, could be utilized easier. It would take five to 10 years before we were able to really even utilize that even if it was true. And it's not true. So this is never going to happen. It's all bogus. It's all a fugazi and it's about dominance. It's about market manipulation. It is about raw power and it's about Trump and people like bent a court enriching themselves at the expense of Venezuela, at the expense of the US, at the expense of a more stable

49:00world order. All right, let's take our last quick break of the show. Wait, while we're on this, let me say, let me say, I want to say two things about it before we lose the, before we lose the plot here. One, I worry about something like this creating such instability in a country like Venezuela because I think nothing creates more instability, anger at the leaders and overall chaos of potential civil war than kind of a humiliation like this. Basically saying that no, you're not even like a sovereign state essentially, but you are a vessel, a vessel of the United States in our pocket. And the fact that you have a leader in Delce Raderiega's who was going along with all this, I kind of view there being, I kind of have a feeling that when these people who, you know, you may have seen images of them dancing in the streets when Delce took over, I don't think they're dancing anymore. And I think they're going to be furious about all of this. Also I think Donald Trump is setting himself up for just another failure and another thing for people to point back to as we head into the midterms by saying in his post and saying

50:04how quickly now gas prices are going to shoot down oil prices are going to shoot down. We've literally only seen them go up even since Donald Trump made this announcement. If anybody viewed that with any legitimacy, you would have seen a sharp decrease in the oil prices right away. And this is going to just be another thing that people campaigning for the midterms are going to be able to hang over Donald Trump's head. And it's another kind of, you know, phony promise, another lie heading into the midterms. Let's, by the way, this is why when that thing was announced right away, we pounced on it. I mean, we did the story right away, dissected it. And I wanted to create a permission structure for other people to rapidly respond and say, you know what? We don't just regurgitate. We're not stenographers when there's a deal like that, call it out. So within what 30 minutes of the deal, we were out. Now we're seeing people who are far more knowledgeable than oil than me. And I study them. I want to know what they're saying. That's how I give you the analysis. But I think it's been actually, to the extent there is a refreshing aspect that right away,

51:11this normally you would just have the lies spread. And there was poom like a barrage of truth calling this out right away for what it is.

56:24around him have been leaking that he was going to leave sometime in the next few months I just think the last straw was when it was exposed that hegsith was running this influencer scheme where you had all these big twitter right wing influencer accounts were actually feds they were actually the deep state and they were on the payroll of the united states government at the defense department so while hegsith purged out all of the kind of top reporters from being near him in the pentagon and he declared the press room and the area surrounding him a perpetual skiff facensitive compartmental information facility to try to block reporters from being near him and then he brought in those propagandists they went a step further not only did they bring in right wing propagandists to replace the actually really good defense reporters who have been doing a great job even though they've been pushed out of the pentagon separately you had all of these

57:25maga influencers who were actually feds undercover basically pretending to be influencers and writing stories like this one from cynical publicist publicist the war on pete hegsith hegsith is facing a calculated smear campaign because he threatens the entrenched establishment reshaping america's military into something weaker and more political fed fed deep state need to be more this guy works for these he's a government employee we just special government employee people like curge like their ra man is the data republic in account we talk by the way let me say ben and these are a lot of the people who go after us online all the time all the time all the time like these are the people who will quote tweet us who will try to like slip into our dm's to try to quote unquote fact check us to try to slam us to try to whatever and finding out that these people who are actually trump regime uh cronies trump feds here who are attacking the mightest touch network it really just really just once again at it's a moment of clarity and i'm telling you and i am

58:33speculating here however i am i feel pretty sure in my opinion that this is just the tip of the iceberg here and that the more you start peeling the layers of this thing the more you're going to find that virtually all these people virtually everybody pushing this stuff every single day every single minute of every single day are paid by either the government or are paid by dark money forces more is going to come out just just you wait i want everybody at the macro level though to understand what musk did right his acquisition of twitter was funded a lot with foreign money and foreign debt he's able to take it over it's losing money it seems like it is failing on the other hand he's got space x right which is getting a lot of money he spends all of this money on the election like the most ever to help trump get elected there are all of these government contracts that work their way to space x then musk does this IPO where he basically merges and i believe this

59:37was going to be the plan all along space x with x right with one then wide wide twitter rename x we had space x think about what the plan was and so he had space x and x he merges them together into one entity and then they change the rules for nasdeck so that immediately it gets put into the nasdeck 100 so that mutual funds and ETFs are required to purchase it based on its pumped up valuation on day one so whether you like it or not your fund may have had to purchase it to keep it elevated it then pays off all of the people who funded the acquisition in the first place when it took over twitter and then it's being used with a rigged algorithm to pump up all of these accounts to spread this disinformation folks it's at a very sophisticated level i don't want us to lose track of that

1:00:40diagram though that i just built out because on the day to day level you have these people who are feds right who are pretending though that they are these influencers their accounts are getting super charged they're pushing out all this stuff that's going super mega viral about all these things and these people are working for the regime that's how it's being done and so it was interesting because earlier in the day and i give a hat tip to the washington post here because the defense reporters that is their editorial board not great right now under Jeff baseless let's be very close like i said i'm dan danlamoth i think i said i'm not there but there was there was hop there's a bunch you know there that whole that whole team is that whole team the editorial stuff is is great so they broke a story in the morning about this highly classified report that hegsith you know and all defense secretaries put out the secretary of defense orders book and how in it all of the top

1:01:41admirals and generals had a unified not concur do not concur with the war plans currently in future in this catastrophic and a lawful war some people have said well do not concur has happened before yes on minor things you know i don't think we've ever seen a unified do not concur on the actual war okay like Persian Gulf War or Operation Desert or do not concur that's not what happens and maybe do not concur should we do this weapon over this weapon or that not the overall war strategy so i'm giving obviously do not concur it's not like and not unified in that way so they reported on that then all of these magna influencers swarmed and then the washington post dropped their story and said ah you're all feds and they were all caught it was actually kind of a brilliant chess play and they waited and then they dropped it turns out the washington post had gone out for comment though earlier in the week to these people so it wasn't just like they dropped it because

1:02:43the attack so happened but once that attack happened i just think the washington post people by the way yeah and like by the way can i just say this to it's it shocking but not shocking right like we've seen the trump regime do this throughout the entire administration so far then the second trump term here right what was the one of the first things they did they brought in those right wing grifters uh to the white house gave them all the white binders with the epstein files oh look at us we got the epitome well that didn't work that didn't work now agon all of those people's faces what utter buffoons that white binder crew ultimately is we already knew they were but oh my goodness looking at it through it now too like you absolute shill and then the press briefings right what do they do they get real media out of the press room and and what do they do they bring in all these right wing propaganda mouthpieces to to there to get more favorable questions to get more favorable i don't know whatever out into the ecosystem and i guess take some of the pressure off of having to answer real questions and so it doesn't surprise me that there are feds on twitter working with

1:03:48Donald trump in the regime i want to get on a mounted on a on a roof and just scream it so everyone could just understand like this is crazy but it's actually happening and it's all the all the other stuff is happening right in front of your face and it wasn't until this report came out that that everyone now gets to see it and read about it and fully understand the depth set it goes and brought to your point it is just the tip of the iceberg all of these people are astroturfed i am telling you it's all astroturfed it's all ds and i i know there are some people with very close connections to trump where all people who have worked in the white house people who have worked in trump kind of campaign space who have these kind of dark money firms and they act as intermediaries and what happens is somebody wants to get a message out remember people were caught doing this also remember those influencers those other maggot influencers were caught being paid like by a russian company uh that the tim pools and them in the world they they claim that they you know didn't know that's where the money was coming from but they were getting an exorbitant amount of money uh literally from russia uh to push certain messages many johnson was

1:04:51one of them there was like a handful of them um well there's another operation that's going where there are these firms run by trump world people and they take big money from people who want to get a message across and the message could be to influence uh a politician into voting a certain way it could be to influence other officials in the white house it could be to spread propaganda online just for the masses they get a lot of money they pay this intermediary to post about this topic in a specific way that influencer does it they promise them ex-amount of impressions or whatever and that kind of repeats and repeats and repeats and you've also seen you know some of these figures online uh because people have exposed them in this way is where people uh reach out kind of pretending to be some of these special interest groups to the maggot influencers and ask them you know how much is it if you want to if i if i how much is retweet go for these days you know how much to post about my whatever and they will do these undisclosed posts you know they're they'll post about things not say it and they'll say you know some people might charge 500 bucks for retweet

1:05:54or five thousand bucks for a retreat or whatever it is but this is a whole financial operation that's happening right now in mago world and it's just coming at you in all these different ways whether directly from the government whether from dark whether it's from dark money organizations whether it's from far and money like russia or just people you know doing this as their own kind of little side business or main business if you look at how many how much these people tweet on a daily basis but it's it's it's it's something and it's something that really like i think this is actually a super important issue that if democrats were to take control of the house uh in the fall i think they need a subpoena all these people quite frankly i think we need investigations i think we need to kind of blow up this entire operation and see who's really pulling the strings here see what's really going on but i think all these influencers need to be subpoena brought into congress questioned about all these arrangements dangerous skull interesting guy veteran friends with jd vans and usha from yel private equity guy lived out in california spoke out at first against the

1:07:01lensky and then when he got this position as army secretary he became very impressed with the ukrainian military and the drones and the anti drone technology so he went from being the critic of zolensky to actually saying that the u.s needed to innovate the way they've innovated in ukrain and he was working very closely then with people like randy george the former army chief of staff uh general donna you and and others who were spearheading these types of modernization uh things and then randy george was pushed out beloved randy george and his wife patty were like the most beloved people in our military forced our general like literally like the best the best the best our military had to offer he was pushed out and basically fired by hegsith we learned one of the

1:08:01reasons for that is he wanted to keep the investigation ongoing into the apache helicopters that flew by kid rocks home and also uh randy george um was objecting to the fact that hegsith was refusing to promote black people and women to one star generals and then allow them to rise through the ranks based on merit simply because they were black and women that's who hegsith was targeting and randy george wasn't cool with that and driscoe wasn't cool with that um and so ultimately hegsith wanted driscoe gone and saw driscoe as arrival and ultimately hegsith won that battle and pushed out all of these top generals um you know we only have at this point less than half at the of the four star generals um that we've had right now we had the best team we had the old star team of generals and military leaders and the top people were pushed out in their place our hegsith sycophants um i'm not not to

1:09:05see there there are still some good admirals in generals out there i don't know after there's none um but you know you have some shady people like this laverne guy who was working with hegsith to fire randy george because of the kid rock situation and what's one of the first things that laverne is pushing basically the equivalent of japanese bouchito which was one of the main among many critiques of the actual fighting of japanese in the japanes during world war two it was so rooted in the samurai spirit and bouchito in the code and the warrior ethos versus modernizing lots of people said they lost an edge to some of the western military that had focused on technology and so what's fascinating is to see history repeat itself in the form of this imperialistic trump regime who were like we need to restore the warrior ethos in the united states the world war

1:10:06twos warrior ethos and it's like okay i mean we get that but like stop saying the word lethality over and over again and recognize that war has fundamentally changed we are in a situation of drones anti drones unmanned submersives robotics and this is the future um and there needs to be investments on that versus trump class battleships nuclear battleships and things that are where hundreds of billions of dollars are being wasted that could be going to things like health could be going to things like making things more affordable and programs that help people but they're going to these horrible catastrophic wars and weapon systems that aren't relevant to today and we're just flushing taxpayer money down the toilet has the debt increases to over 40 trillion dollars all of best-sense market manipulation schemes have failed you know he failed

1:11:06to bail out the japanese yen his bond buyback scheme is a complete failure he's been a oh you know lots of these people most of these people around trump have the loser maga arc and they've all found each other because they're losers when they went out on their own best-sense is one of these people who was a loser he had like 90 percent redemptions or so from one of his funds he had a five billion dollar fund very unsuccessful he worked decently when he was with smart people who oversaw him but when he was on his own he flailed that he was a loser and you can see why he's got loser qualities i'll just give you an example of bestsent from today so bestsent is at the G20 finance summit meeting it's the G20 meeting but of the finance ministers and the treasury secretary he's banned the new york times bloomberg and wall street journal from being at a lot of the meetings he was asked a question about canada and i want to show you how we answered this question about canada

1:12:07i could show you so many other bestsent clips and they're all equally bad but i'll just show you this one because i think it highlights which is that an arrogant loser he is here play this clip what what was the setup for this one oh uh just what while we do it bright you can keep on talking but i'll find it in a moment it was the one on it was bestsent on canada um i'll go and find it though and give you the better setup the question was um anyway you go talk but i'll go and find it i don't have it in front of me but it was the one on canada yeah i mean what but what you're seeing is over and over again you're seeing people like bestsent and trump trying to gain control over a situation that they don't have any control of and the problem is they're just not being honest with the american people and uh they think that they could continue to trick the markets the thing is like there's really only so much that you could trick only so much time that you could trick the markets for until things really start to unravel and that's why we're seeing all of this um volatility you know in the regular markets uh you know despite the fact that they are at highs

1:13:10but the oil markets you know are something to watch the bond yields or something that you really have to watch this is something that is a huge huge huge huge huge problem and i think as you see people uh you know continuing to uh now deal with the for the affordability crisis and they're trying to figure out you know what are we what am i going to pay for a mortgage rate what am i going to pay when i take out a loan what am i going to do when i go to a grocery store those problems continue to get worse and worse and worse for regular people but it seems like despite all of that that you have you know Donald trump and scott bestsent and and all of them still trying to pretend that everything's great that the war is going great that the economy is going great and the problem is people just know that that's not true and the more they lie about it what worries me is that they're it's kind of building up almost like a pressure valve right just building up a lot of pressure in these pipes and the pipes yes they keep expanding with it but eventually what's going to happen the things gonna the things gonna pop the things gonna implode it's going to explode and there's an island it's going a markets are wondering where

1:14:12a candidate that helps you all Jordan answer i was going to say and those pipes you're going to explode bread and not with oil and i just want to emphasize kind of what you're saying there too is they could only run this scheme so many times trump and bestsent and the entire trump regime here trying to run this uh groundhog day uh play on the economy on the stock market until you know sooner or later things are gonna get really bad and you know it's gonna be left holding the bag the american people that's who's gonna be left holding the bag sorry would you say bruh yeah i like here's the clip markets wondering if we're now in a tip or tat trade war with canada well i don't think you can be in a tip for tap with someone who's 13 times larger than you are they say they're doing okay what else are they gonna say and look i i think this is very unfortunate that prime minister carnie has turned this into the a political shouting match i mean we're not a war with canada how are we gonna be a war with canada what are they gonna take their two step submarines from the Edmonds and mall and sick them on us okay i just want you to see how what a loser quality that is

1:15:14right you you wonder how these people are such losers and you see that behavior right there it's rude it's abrasive it's disrespectful it's filled with lies and by the way canada has seen increased employment canada has actually seen gdp growth canada has a leader in prime minister carnie unlike besent who has been a very successful central banker who's done major moves during very difficult circumstances and carnies a very accomplished person outside of being the prime minister the guy ran bank of canada bank of england during two separate crises and got him out of it and besence only found his way into crises and just in general too even if what i just told you wasn't the case you know you underestimate people and entities at your own peril it's this level of just unmitigated arrogance and what you saw right there which is setting it's not like a

1:16:17political thing that i'm even saying it's just it's right out of like asop's fables right it's like right out of an edipus you know a homer's Odyssey like to see the lephe shakes brian if you will right and you see the it's such a parody of the human defect that's so obvious and him and trump and all of these people it almost feels so poetically tragic and it would have this parody quality in almost this surreal you know aspect if the people weren't suffering the the pain that american people are feeling now is so damn real because you have these malignant narcissistic stupid humans who have hijacked the united states of america dividing with these culture wars and they're trying it again i mean i'll show you right here like what are they talking about at these rallies today in michigan just so you can see it for yourself i mean you've got people like
