MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 9/11/26

0:00We've got a lot to discuss on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast the United States set a record today But not the record that you want to be setting diesel hit six dollars a gallon for the first time in US history This as Treasury yields continue to rise inflation is Surging and Donald Trump has created an economic catastrophe here at home But if you watch Donald Trump at this bizarre Republican midterm convention Donald Trump would tell you that we are now experiencing a golden age We've never done better economically in the history of the United States He said we're doing so well that he promises if you vote Magger Republican in the midterm elections He's gonna give you $5,000 or this morning $500 in addition to the $5,000 but here's the catch ladies and gentlemen You got to vote Magger Republican because then if you do that as soon as the elections are over oil prices are going to go down

1:06Down down the war is going to end immediately magically after the election But all you got to do is call 1-800 vote Magger Republican and you will succeed It's like the stupidest thing you know more fraud from Donald Trump literally Begging and defrauding the American people to vote Magger Republican by saying he's gonna give him $5,000 and then it just got From the fraud to the weirdness you had all these Magger Republican senators, you know going up there and basically saying and I got to tell you God is Non-nice not non-binary anybody who says God is non-binary We need to we need to make sure that those people are Bard from civil society. It's just some of the strangest stuff that they just wanted to talk about that God has a penis and they wanted to repeat that over and over again Like Magger Republican Tim Scott and Ken Paxton's weirdo speech. We'll get into all of that And we're gonna talk about what's going on internationally

2:06You have the Houthis making major advances in Yemen We've been reporting on this for a long time here at the Midas Dutch Network But officially they were able to take control of the port city of mocha in Western Yemen also the Hanish islands that are right off the coast of Western Yemen the Houthis continue to make advances and they're heading to take full control over the Bob Al-Mandab straight in the territory surrounding it which is Expected to occur very very soon and right before we went live We learned that the Saudi Arabian East West pipeline Seemed to also be struck by the Houthis right by the Medina area We're seeing satellite footage right now and remember Donald Trump and Bessent were bragging We don't need the straight of horror moose because we've got the pipelines that are working Even more than the straight I mean like the pipelines were always there But you need both But in any event that pipeline the East West pipeline

3:10Seems to have been seriously impacted by the recent Houthi strike Will break down the impact of all of this as we're learning that the US has now sent over a hundred military officials to help Saudi Arabia Work with the Saudi backed group in Yemen against the Iranian back group in Yemen Which is the Houthis and so there's this proxy fight going on there and Surprise surprise just like Iran won the catastrophic war the Trump and Netanyahu launched against it The Iranian proxy group the Houthis is winning that war against the Saudi Arabian back group in Yemen right now. We'll talk about that and We'll talk about just some additional data points for getting The Iranian strikes this past week resulted in major damage to US military bases We're learning more about multiple f-15s about eight f-15s that were struck pretty hard and damaged black hawk helicopters

4:12eight tens Trump says there was no damage to the military bases. I promise you I know no damage at all I mean we literally saw the Iranian ballistic striking the US military bases like King Faisal and Moafixal The in the other bases in the region and the US interceptors Some of them worked at first, but by the third or fourth wave of Iranian ballistic missiles Those US interceptors were not even functioning anymore the US continues to deplete its munitions We learn that JD vans and spring and summer reached out to all our top generals and admirals to get an assessment of what's going on with this munition situation and they all told them it's dire There are some areas that have less than 100 which I want you to think about this in the recent Iranian strikes in Jordan That took place in the past few days It appeared the US used Maybe it's last 60 to 80 Defending those bases and the Iranian new ballistic missiles some of its Shaken it's a Kesham shakens and others are able to go around

5:16The interceptors and we're running out of interceptors which we've been talking about before We'll talk about that and more um, oh, and then 60 more casualties added to the database that the Pentagon keeps of injured and killed service members 60 new injured service members were added since august 31st 60 that's their 61 additional Americans were wounded in action and again, we believe that the Trump regime is Still Giving false numbers we believe the numbers much higher, but I just want you to think about that the only way This was learned is that stars and stripes and might as touch no work in others Just look at the public database which seems to be manipulated on a daily basis like there's no public communication about this Instead you get Trump and sent comm just lying about everything so in other words We've got a lot to discuss in this episode Bretton jordy how how are you doing? Lot to discuss. I'll hang in there. Ben. I get to see you get to see you Get to see you might as mighty certainly a lot going on and the Trump regime just continues to lie to us

6:21continues to hide the truth the Pentagon isn't even doing press briefings anymore And so Donald Trump just gets out there. He says everything is going great But I think all the data points that we're seeing and continue to see show that this is an incredibly dire situation I don't want to sugarcoat it This war is going horribly for the United States and what happened earlier today with the Houthis and what's continuing to happen over there is Absolutely dire for the United States for our military for this entire war effort It continues to spiral and as the United States runs out of munitions that runs out of interceptors You see these squeeze being put on not only by Iran, but by the Iran proxy groups out there And you see this whole architecture Out there right now whether it's the United States Saudi Arabia this entire defense sort of architecture over there kind of collapsing before our eyes And that's not all that's collapsing the US economy which Donald Trump continues to insist is the greatest ever and the Republicans have to get on stage at their

7:21Bizarro Weird AF To midterm convention and act like everything is amazing and this is the golden age Trump likes to say the economy is hot hot hot Well, he's right just not in the ways that he wants the American public to believe he's right and that inflation is hot hot hot PPI hot hot hot core PPI hot hot hot diesel prices hot hot hot oil and all these things are moving through the economy And they are affecting the average American while Trump tries to pretend that these problems are non-existent And that's an issue because he's pushing the economy to the brink He's pushing our military to the brink and when you do that eventually these things tend to collapse It's a house of cards right now And I think you know we all kind of know what's coming and so buckle up. We're gonna get through it all Jordy what's the latest in your end? Brothers, my dismide it is wonderful to be here tonight. We have a lot to get into bread I think all of the points that you laid out Ben all the topics that we're gonna talk through tonight

8:23It is just the result of not having competent leadership to have someone who is such an utter buffoon such a loser At the highest position of government as president of the United States of America someone who is so wholly incompetent That we know that this war and around is not going to end anytime soon and like we've been saying on this show Now that again, we've seen the revised numbers up to 61 casualties and and and deaths It's going to get worse We only even know half the story as more and more people press for the truth I can only imagine what Trump and the Trump regime are trying to hide behind closed doors right now Benji with that where we get in start tonight big bro Look just remember this past week sent come announced that it struck Five civilian Iranian oil tankers and it like bragged about it like it was some major accomplishment and sent come claim Look Iran tried to strike our navy ships our battleships Our aircraft cares so we responded very powerfully or well, how would you respond to that does sound serious

9:29We struck five of their civilian oil tankers their oil tankers really that seems like a war crime And why are you going after civilian stuff? But any event then Iran said okay, we're gonna respond so Iran's been striking multiple tankers right before we went live We learned that two more tankers just in the past hour were struck by Iran And then few days back after the US launched its strikes against the Iranian oil tankers in this rate of removes Iran hit Jordan hard what happens the same story and over again the Jordanian government said there were 20 ballistic missiles from Iran we intercepted 18 of them the two we didn't intercept They just went into areas that posed no threat to anybody and it was like we saw it Okay, I was posting what went down and I saw multiple Iranian ballistic missile strikes go right into the US military bases Like you're a bunch of and there was far more than 20 so they lied then sent come lied and they acted like there was no damage

10:29Then Trump said no damage at all then what happens? It's the same pattern right and you just go back to Donald Trump civil trial right where he was sued by the New York State Attorney General for just lying about every one of his numbers on his property Right, that was bad behavior. It was disqualifying behavior He's doing that stuff and stuff. He's done his whole life where he's bankrupted entities And he lies and just makes up every word as a lie He's doing that in the United States with our economy with the military and look with the United States post-World War 2 architecture being the kind of main uh area for the global economic Relations and being the main headjamaan in the world for military soft power strong power It's not easy to break it all that quickly But damn before there's one thing trump did he destroyed america standing economically militarily uh soft hard power very very damn quickly with just the lies and the weakness and the loser behavior

11:36And then it was accelerated by this catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran And so then we learned about all of the strikes that took place and again trump lied the jordanian government line surprise surprise Iran striking more tankers the hoothies are advancing And all of this stuff is impacting us at home as well. That's why diesel hit six dollars a gallon That's why the price of gas is heading to six dollars a gallon soon It's why Brent and wti are both over one hundred dollars a barrel and trump's instinct is just what he always does lie Don't worry. It's amazing and I got 65 billion barrels of oil coming in from Venezuela And that's going to be great our strategic reserves are saved. It's like no those was the oil from Venezuela Isn't getting into our strategic reserves. It's hypothetical stuff That has to be refined and it's not even the right texture to stop with the line We need real serious people

12:37We're not even having a debate this plan versus that plan Donald trump just gets up there and spews the most deranged things imaginable And you know i led off with diesel because diesel is the fuel that moves the economy as gas buddy explains powering freight trucks trains Agriculture equipment and construction machinery behind nearly everything americans buy this means Gas buddy says the impact reaches far beyond the transportation sector as diesel climbs higher supply chain costs work Their way into the price of groceries household goods deliveries and countless other products families rely on every day Even the households that never fuel a diesel vehicle. So what does this mean? That's why inflation is surging It's one of a number of factors including Donald Trump's disastrous trade war against the world Brett put those figures up one more time from this morning where we got the PPI read out PPI inflation rose 5.4% year over year

13:405.4% more this year Then last year and last year was worse than the year before and Donald Trump's whole selling point was that i'm going to bring down prices I'm going to make things much cheaper like tricity is going to be cut in half gas prices will be two dollars a gallon Just you'll see i'll end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. I'll speak to Putin I'll speak to zalinsky i'm not going to tell you what i'm going to say but it'll take me 24 hours after the election I'll bring peace there no more never ending wars and what will be gotten Things are far more expensive the cost of living crisis is way worse There's no way out of this catastrophic war Iran is emboldened Iran's allies are emboldened the US security architecture across the world is just destroyed we'll get into more of that in this episode and then Donald Trump this orange blob blabbering buffoon at this so-called midterm convention It's just lie after lie and it's the stupidest lies

14:40He gets up there and he says this has been the most successful two years Financially and every other way in the history of the Presidencies every other way here. Let's play this clip if we got it You four years of disaster bedlam and death under sleepy Joe Biden And I'm asking you to let us finish the job we began with the greatest two years in the history of the Presidency This has been the most successful two years Financially and every other way in the history of the Presidents Bimby more false utterly deranged Ben real quick. He's still talking about Biden and also by the way just to be clear He's actually correct It is in history the best financial years in the history of the Presidency for himself For he's raised over two he's made over two billion dollars in investments for him and his family He's exactly right and they're cheering him on because they think he's trying to say he's talking to them

15:42Uh-uh. He's talking about himself He has financially gained off of his two years more than any time in history of anyone else holding that seat By the way, it's just me or does it sound like a threat when he says you know Help us win the midterms and I'll finish the job. It's like dude you've you've done enough damage We don't need you to finish the job finishing the job sounds like finishing the destruction of the United States of America And I don't think we want that and There's no other way to look at it though that that's what the guy's doing You know, I saw a reporter on Bloomberg say like if you were to design a sia up To improve China's ability to become the global headgemon and destroy the US post-World War II architecture You couldn't like design a better version of it than what Donald Trump is doing this wrecking ball Who lies and loses and looks dumb and just tarnishes the reputation of our country every damn day

16:42It's why we need to just call it out not even in a political way Just in an objective reality like he's a loser and now our nation is a loser nation because of him If we're patriotic Americans, it's our duty to call out this loser Traderous treasonous behavior that we see then Donald Trump at this deranged midterm Republican convention says Tariffs are making us richer than ever before than we ever thought we're taking in trillions here's what he says Let's play tariff some of my favorite work It's gonna make America rich. It's making us much richer than we ever thought but we're taking in trillions of dollars Okay, but I said tariff Is my favorite word and the fake news went crazy. They said What about love what about wife? What about God religion family? I mean in addition to just him being a crazy psychotic lunatic We're not bringing in trillions of dollars our debt Has now increased trillions of dollars our debt is over 40 trillion dollars

17:46Because the treasury yields are so high because All of these countries and companies are unloading our treasury bonds Unless they get a higher rate of return the interest we are paying on our debt is trillions of dollars a year Before we even have to budget for other things our treasury bond sales are awful Treasury secretary besson has some new punzy scheme thing that he does every day Two weeks ago it was I'm gonna do a two billion dollar bond buyback that was after bailing out the Japanese yen for a day before the Japanese yen continued to crash Then he bailed out the bond market by saying he was gonna do a buyback For less than a day and in the latest iteration where he talked about a six billion dollar bond buyback where he would buy out long-term treasuries and then try to

18:48You know replace them with shorter term treasuries um That lasted maybe two minutes and then immediately the bond market got worse because they're seeing it as a sign of panic So they're saying you think you're gonna be able to fight the bond market with six billion dollar bond buybacks It seems like you're a bit of a panicking and wait treasury secretary besson weren't you the loser who when you started a Your own firm that had four billion dollars within about a year there was 90% Redemptions because people figured out pretty quickly that you're a dumb loser and you can't do this on your own So yeah the guy who has his own dumb loser mega arc who's up there now be per You know like I always even acting like you know, it's like some old western movie You don't want to play with the treasury department because you're gonna end up burnt or whatever the stupid things that this guy Has demonstrated that he's one of the weirdest if not the weirdest of all of these derailles like he's like

19:52I am the house. I am the house Well, you are the house in a trump casino Which consistently won bankrupt you that's exactly right You are the house treasury secretary besson in trumps casinos that went bankrupt over and over again Jordi to your point exactly what he's what he's doing and so you know you're seeing across the board here far from tariffs making this richer They have caused more inflation. They have closed uh export markets for our farmers and manufacturers Increasing input costs as well the disastrous trade wars have all backfired as countries are standing up to the trump regime And he just lies out trillion to dollars. I've run in trillions and then you know He starts to ramble and he does the we he goes weaves in this topic He's like they like when I weave you know I weave I talk about something then I talk about the ballroom Then I talk about my airplane then I talk about Air Force one

20:52Okay, then is your airplane and then I get back to the topic I'll go ahead you're you what what what do you what do you even talk about this is what he said here play this clip So why I Because I love the weave you know the weave is you talk about something Then you bring in a ballroom or you bring in an airplane or you bring an Air Force one But you notice I always get right back to the same topic now When I don't come back she's great He says I love my wife. She's doing a good job So when someday there'll be a time When I do the weave is weave weave Someday there'll be a time when I don't get back to the original subject and then you can say he's had it You've had it Air Force one is the airplane okay, that's aren't and then the ballroom While the American people are suffering right now and they can't afford things You're weaving and bragging about ballroom and Air Force one back to Jorities point

21:55Your gift you enriching yourself stealing from the American people this absolute criminality and then the It's not really much of a weave he goes do I get credit for building the ballroom with my money You didn't no one wants this ballroom shut the f up about the ballroom. It's not your money The taxpayers have to pay a billion dollars. You destroyed the east the wing I just will be very clear if Obama did this to the east wing he would have gotten the death penalty I'm not even exaggerating Obama wouldn't have just been impeached or arrested If Obama did to the east wing what trump did Obama would have got the death penalty Does anybody actually dispute that they would bring him up for the biggest high treason and they would bring back You know the most horrible thing Donald Trump disapproved goes oh well maybe Maybe we we should just wait a little bit because we'll just agree to

22:56To stay the lower courts with the guy blew up the east wing and he's bragging about it while the American people are suffering Earplate is clipped changes because it's numerous exchanges it more than one And it's been amazing do I get credit for it? No Do I get credit for building a ballroom with my money where I have I'm the only one I build the ballroom no money no tax. I don't want tax money. I don't want anything It's me and a gun sir patriots. They put up lots of money to build this which is desperately needed And it's gonna be beautiful and everyone's gonna say oh thank god No, it's gonna be beautiful Zero tax dollars for the ballroom zero tax dollars And what happens I get criticized this the most incredible thing anybody else would do that this they what a nice gesture Brod I want to get your reactions We got to study the people behind him and the people who are actually attending this thing like obviously no I know where brothers bread because I'm sorry to cut you off But that's exactly where my mind was going to sorry

23:58I'll let you cook and then I want to get it all these people behind him with these vacant stairs And these smiles on their face like oh yeah Ballroom Like what are you doing this guy is actively ruining your life the guy's an idiot the stuff he's saying doesn't even make sense at all Everything is objectively horrible and getting worse. It's like do you just you like being calm? Do you like being mocked? Do you like being At lie to at all times like I it's truly difficult to fathom how anybody who isn't being kind of paid or isn't in this ecosystem and getting Driving some kind of financial benefit or some other benefit How could you even support this like everything about this is crazy? None of it is conservative by the way for all the people who are like well I'm conservative So I got to vote for done nothing about this is conservative everything he says is a calm and this entire event And we'll get to more of the event you know I'm sure after after the break but the entire event was just so weird and at no point at all do you actually hear any sort of concrete plans?

25:00To help people and it's like are we forgetting what it even means to be a politician? Are we forgetting what it even means to be a president to be a congressman to be a senator? These are jobs. They should be boring jobs They should be jobs that are going through legislation that are trying to figure out okay How do we improve this aspect of American's lives? How do we prove this aspect of American's lives? And it's like all they have is like well God God has a penis that's what I want to talk about God has a penis and James telerico is a vegan it's like what is this messaging? Who what are you talking about? How does this help a single person? What is your message to the American people? I truly do cannot even comprehend how anybody could be okay or support any of this But I guess that's why Donald Trump's approval rating with like independence right now is like 20% or something crazy Brett exactly What's his message? He doesn't have a message He's got nothing to show for his previous two years as president

26:01And he's got no vision for the future usually if you're the president of United States And you're going to go and you're going to speak at your convention to rally up everyone to go and vote for XYZ Vote down ballot all of that nonsense You be touting all of your legitimate accomplishments. I don't think Trump even uttered one Clear path or vision forward to address the affordability crisis is in this country because again to him It's there is no crisis It is the most financially beneficial presidency in the United States history guys these two years more money than any president And the lemmings behind him Brett to your point exactly cheer him on if there's anything scarier than Trump talking about Whatever the heck you want to talk about while he's up there It's always the people immediately behind him because they are so far gone And I know there's always theories out there Oh yeah, they're literally paid actors that go behind them. I'm not here to say that or not But those people behind him they are drinking the cool aid. They need to be studied honestly

27:05They need to be studied but also the question we always get asked here at the minus such network How are you breaking through to those magapy? I'm not breaking through to those people. I don't want to talk to those people Those people are chomping out the bit for another 4, 10, 20 years of Donald Trump running this country into the ground Those are the people we're trying to talk to or at least not me specifically because they are so far gone They those people behind Donald Trump hate this country with a capital H They truly do they pledge allegiance to one man and that is Donald J Trump Benji Take our first break of the show and we come back. I want to talk a little bit more about what's been going down at this deranged Republican midterm convention I want to turn our attention to a lot of these international Developments that have been taking place. I want to talk about the United States Supreme Court actually making a good decision I'm holding what the Missouri State Supreme Court did regarding

28:06The map that will restore or keep in place a six to two Republican Democrat map instead of the Unlawful Maggijerrymandered 7 to 1 map. We'll talk A little bit more about also some major resignations at the DOJ at top Trump loyalist tender to resignation Before we went live we'll talk about that and more so let's take our first quick break of the show or reminder Our book is called WTF America the way out of this hell and back to democracy We have a QR code that you can scan will put a link in the description below where you can buy the book You could also google WTF America just make sure you get the right one and We appreciate all of the support we have for the book We lay out kind of a generational platform about how we get out of this hell and boy we need to get out of this hell That's that should be one of the main takeaways thus far Let's take our first question.

34:17For the audio listeners that was one of those ads that I pre-recorded earlier and Yeah, I'm gonna fess I did not shave still I'm not got on the haircut It is remarkably challenging with two children Under three years old at home, but we're doing our damnedest Benji How you doing big brother? We're too nice doing good in a little bit. I'll share with you magama Johnson speech from earlier today at this bizarro midterm convention. It was more lies and I'll show you what he was saying. He was like we need A little more time takes a long time to stop the inflation and to stop Biden's this and that and the other It's like no, you don't okay. You're two years in okay Grow up, okay, and Donald Trump promised on day one He was going to solve these problems. They really aren't just a bunch of con artists And again, you saw Donald Trump speech where he said The cost of what we're doing with Venezuela We've been able to replenish our strategic petroleum reserve stockpiles 65 billion barrels are hours that's ours right now listen to these lies about Venezuela and this deranged arrangement that he made with Venezuela

35:28Let's play it But getting back to oil Okay, we you are doing and as I said you the biggest without the biggest in the world We would know it near that now you're with the biggest in the world and that's without Venezuela which we've just added to our little stockpile it's It's the biggest Oil deal and probably it's the biggest deal in the history of our country 65 billion barrels are ours and you know what they say it is lifetime 500 years and Oh, so I guess the price of gas is going down right I guess the price of diesel is going down right I guess the Overall price per bat right I mean if it's ours if it's added to our stockpiles If you really get a deal Donald then what do we be I'll wait a minute Well, do we get to see the deal no I saw some press releases Apparently because private businesses view Venezuela as uninvestable by and large you had to create a Trump oil company within the defense department to do deals with

36:37Delsey Rodríguez and this guy Alejandro bent a cord a very corrupt person over there and Sounds a little bit communist to me and communist authority are cherry to me, but oh, but okay You want to maybe tell the audience that all of that 65 billion barrels is hypothetical It's potential that it would actually take tens of billions of dollars and years Maybe even hundreds of billions of dollars and decades before the refining could really even begin that that type of oil Doesn't go into our salt caverns and our strategic reserves in Texas and I was that those are just facts Ben Why would we do facts the people behind him? They just want to see Shamu eat some sardines That's more of a seal, but that's like is that what you want to see is that you really want I saw some people posting clips of idiocracy This is far more deranged than idiocracy was far more coherent than what I've been observing right here And then Trump goes I think we're gonna call the Hormuz straight the Trump straight

37:40You know what I think I'm gonna call it Donald. I'm gonna call it two more tankers were struck right before I went live That's what I'm gonna call it because Iran continues to control the straightive Hormuz this past week two more unmanned U.S. submersives these cutting-edge technology Adrones that go in the water they were captured by Iran one today One two days ago and the Trump regime's like that's an old model You mean they're all new models. It's not an old model. We didn't care about that one Oh really because Iran's going to reverse engineer that one right away. They probably already have right now But this is what Trump I'm gonna rename it. I've renamed Lake Ontario. I've renamed New Mexico. It's like what stupid crap is this? What stupid crap is this here play this clip? During my administration and food prices and Almost every other item are rapidly going down and by the way oil would be going down as soon as we win the war with a rent

38:42Which is taking place right now We'll win it We're winning it we control The Hormuz straight I think we should call The Hormuz straight we should call it the Trump I should get something out of it the Trump straight It's going to be called Ladies and gentlemen. I'll have an announcement Yeah, I mean real sick stuff and Jority is he is he calling it the Hormone the Hormone straight? I think he can't pronounce it The people but anyone who's clapping I think I should get something out of it That's the revealing line I should I was gonna say it's revealing to his entire thought process about everything He does that he's always in it to try to get something for himself We keep going back to Jority's point in the beginning he's constantly trying to extract From other individuals from companies from whoever and it's all to benefit his himself his family whatever and you know

39:45That's why when you see some of the people get up at this convention the things they say are also just like It's like do you live in this wellness planet like what the heck are you saying? Annapalina Luna Rep. Congressman Omen from Florida. I got up there yesterday And she decided to give her whole speech against like enriching one self in public office And she's like all these people stock trading all in office Donald Trump literally a few days ago Not and not only as all the stock disclosures come out showing that he makes thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of trades and has made A ton of money stock trading presumably off a lot of inside information in my opinion But you also have Annapalina Luna going out there and trying to talk You know against this while he is then posting memes on his truth social account Depicting himself stock trading in the oval office and saying I got rich off these stocks for you It's the sickest messaging ever and he's like throwing it in their face. Can you imagine what's Jority? I know you love this game. Can you imagine of Joe Biden posted a an AI image of him stock trading in the oval office

40:49I think like Biden I think they give the guy death penalty as well This is the craziest stuff that we are witnessing it is such blatant criminality being propped up by all of these con artists by all of these Huxters by all of these charlatans and then they bring religion into it They have preachers and pastors these people to say this person's you James Talleriko evil man Evil man Kenpaks them great guy Kenpaks then the corrupt guy who was indicted on security charges the guy who cheated on his wife and got divorced on biblical grounds The guy who's just a all around horrific individual that's a great guy James Talleriko evil Donald Trump great guy great guy biblical biblical incredible And it's like they live in this inverted world, but it's all it all is enabled by this fraud everybody who's involved in it It's just fraudulent in some sort of way and as a huxster really just manipulating people and doing it in such a vile vile vile vile way

41:49Right goes very evil very very evil especially how they weaponize religion for a lot of people who really believe and You know no knock on anyone whatever their beliefs are But like really believe and how they twist that and so bastardize that to just promote a political party You want to talk about someone who's actually deeply religious Joe Biden with a church every Sunday But what do we what do we even talk Donald Trump? I don't think has ever stepped foot in a church for prayer What are we talking about here folks? It's not even close what we saw out of this convention and will continue to see These people are freaks these people are absolute freaks the lowest of the low the scumiest of the scum and We have to figure out as a society how we move past that How these people got so weird in general and how we start to fix this damn country that Donald Trump has to deeply broken Right, I mean you study what these Iranian generals are saying and leaders one of the things that surprised them

42:53Since the Trump Netanyahu invasion and that data and fully Appreciate the depths of it while they assume that Donald Trump was corrupt and stupid and all of these things They were shocked that he literally doesn't care about the national interest of the US. They were not prepared To deal with someone who truly just cares about himself and similarly the purported negotiators And Kushner dumb and dumber who travel around the world and you know are basically the pidepipers for their own funds We learned that Whitcoff made what 100 million plus dollars last year We sort of someone you would already but the disclosures had to be made public From you know his crypto schemes with world liberty financial Which had major investments from middle east countries which further compromised us in those areas But you know these IRGC generals and military leaders and politically is like wow like they just don't care about the US And so once you understand that Trump is not operating from the US interest

43:58You do what Putin does which is you bring out Carried to meetria of and Yuri you should come the money guys and you make everything about deals with Trump And figuring out ways to you know to talk about even even when their lies You know Putin does the Trump stick you know Trump says I'm gonna do this that Putin's like I'm gonna bring you trillions of dollars Donald personally trillions of dollars will make sure you get When by the way rushes gdp is less than cannabis gdp while Donald Trump attacks candidate right me rushes gdp is less than California's gdp And you know that's how you play trump you just say ham and he gets you something personally and you know You saw this approach Saudi Arabia and UAE in all of these countries they did it as well Except they believe they were getting a US security umbrella out of it, but as Saudi Arabia has now seen

44:58As irons back to thys or irons ally the hoothies as we went live struck the east west pipeline Right by Medina. I mean that's gonna be crushing to Saudi Arabia's economy after numerous refineries on both the east and west Coast of Saudi Arabia have also been destroyed by the hoothies over the past Several weeks and remember Saudi Arabia used its Saudi aligned government group in Yemen To strike the sauna air base which was area controlled by the hoothies back in mid july And Saudi Arabia felt all right we can do this the US has our back We've got the weapons. We're ready to go. We're gonna prove a point because back then There was supposed to be a meeting between Iran leadership and hoothy leadership in the hoothy capital of sauna And before the plane even arrived Saudi Arabia struck the air base and the hoothies

45:58They had just been kind of sitting in the background preparing and they're like got it game on That's when the hoothies really began in earnest to start Doing a blockade in the red sea and then they started saying all right you're coming after us We're gonna strike in Saudi Arabia The hoothies experience is the same experience that Iran saw and they learned together of course when Iran was striking US military bases in the region has got it the US security and brother does work Trump got rid of all the top generals the US doesn't know what it's doing Pete hexeth is running the show This guy is not just a malignant narcissist. He's an idiot also and he doesn't know what he's doing So the hoothies day by day just like Iran got more and more emboldened and they said oh crap If Iran was able to bring down the US we can bring back Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is getting its weapons from the US Saudi Arabia is backing the other government group that occupies its capital in Aden in Yemen

47:00We can we can let's let's go let's go on our offensive in the past 24 to 48 hours The hoothies have been able to take over 1500 to 2000 kilometers of areas in western Yemen. They took over al-Mokha the key port city that 60 kilometers Away from the Bob El Mondob straight the hoothies are continuing to advance notably The hoothies were welcomed by various tribes also Sunni tribes the hoothies are Shia These Sunni tribes were greeting them And I've been noticing this recently as well that you're seeing the populations in these areas Increasingly feel got it the US security umbrella is broken Meaning all the US proxies in the region are weaker and they're feeling a More They're feeling they they have more of an ability to work with the Iranian back groups and not in other groups I mean when we were showing you the footage of Iran striking in Jordan What I noticed and was one of the reasons I showed you this footage the Jordanian people who were eating on the rooftop

48:06Restaurants seem very metropolitan people, you know who were eaten, you know, we're having dinner there They were cheering on Iran striking Jordan So if you're the Jordanian monarchy right now you are very nervous if you're the Saudi monarchy The hoothe advancements in Yemen taking al-Mokha taking the Hanna shilands and Pretty soon the hoothies will have all of western Yemen They basically already do and their question is are they going to go and take over Aiden which is the stronghold for the Saudi back government You don't even need to the the the land that's most valuable is all along the coast and the Saudi back government's last stronghold was mocha And if you could take mocha you can take the other areas, but if you're the Saudi monarchy right now you're thinking to yourself Can we defend Saudi Arabia Think about beyond Yemen Can the Saudi monarchy survive this right now because a lot of their power emanated that from this deal

49:09Not just with Trump but over generations that the United States provided the security bill all of these monarchies And Iran did not agree to that Iran created its own access And so we're seeing that development happen now you shine a rise Russia feeling more emboldened That's the broader geopolitical story here. You know what it kind of reminds me of and there are obviously all incredibly different situations It's certainly an oversimplification, but you see certain countries like Saudi Arabia You know, they what do they do they they really tied themselves to Donald Trump in a lot of ways You know with the way they you know gave all that money to chair Kushner with the very close relationship with the Gulf I mean they really made their relationship very close and in a similar respect you saw that in Canada Right with the maple maga folks with the Pierre poly Eves you see these folks they tie themselves to Donald Trump And the thing that people always find out the hard way is that everything Trump touches dies It's a cliche for a reason and and it's true and so kind of all the everything's coming home to roost right now

50:11With all of these kind of You know deals cut with the devil so to speak whether it's Saudi Arabia whether it's the maple maga folks And you see them in real time now trying to deal with the consequences of this and Trump's and ultimately it takes until There is an existential threat to those individuals themselves or to their power structures that it takes for them to realize I better stand up to this or I got to do something or we have to adjust what we're doing because right now as you look at it Like I think you could in some respects kind of look at this Saudi monarchy really in dire conditions right now And having to make a choice right now because they have to choose I'm gonna stick with this relationship with Donald Trump that right now is screwing us over Where am I going to protect my people here? Ironically that kind of idea, you know Donald Trump's America first everybody take care of themselves sort of strategy right now People in a lot of these countries are thinking. I don't know why I tied myself to this guy I got to be thinking of my own country And I think it's particularly interesting with with people you know like the maple maga folks who were all in on Donald Trump right some of these people like

51:17Like Doug Ford Like Pierre Polly have all in on Donald Trump right and then what happens Donald Trump does stuff He attacks them he attacks their countries he threatens their people and then all of a sudden They're forced now to completely change their entire way of speaking everything they do in Canada One of the things that really struck me over the past 24 hours or so Was Pierre Polly of the Maple Maga figure in in Canada who had Was run for who would have been prime minister if his party won? End up losing his writing which is essentially like a congressional district in the United States before You know re-emerging like a video game character in another writing stealing someone else's seat You know he was asked about Mark Carney by the media. I think it was an American I think it was an American channel from that mistaken I think see how was it was like CNBC or one of these channels and they kind of set him up to try to criticize Mark Carney at any other time he would happily criticize Mark Carney He would happily you know try to back Donald Trump's policies and and that sort of rhetoric

52:22This time he said something interesting this time he said I am not about to come on American television and smear our prime minister back at home like there's a line that he would not cross right there And you see a lot of the people in Canada right now having to realize that They they have almost have to choose a side right am I going to support my own leadership here in our country Am I going to support our my own people here? Or am I going to cow toe to Donald Trump's threats as he tries to destroy us in every possible way and Completely completely destroy our sovereignty here and so the reckoning has really I would say begun But we are so far past the reckoning beginning it is in full swing Well, we got a lot to discuss when we come back I want to show you what maggot Mike had to say Want to talk a little bit more about the supreme court ruling Actually a good ruling by the supreme court upholding with the Missouri state supreme court ruled And the Missouri state supreme court is five Republican justices and two liberal justices and they unanimously agreed that their mega

This is the first time I think we spoke today brothers Yeah, look it's uh, you know, but you know I was speaking to Jessica Tarla about it was great to have her on she's got a book coming out also Um and one of the things that you know, I think we both talk about in our books is family

58:40and You know That's one of the ways I think we can speak across political parties um You know, and I think objectively Donald Trump who You see how he behaves around his family and the horrors. I mean he brought his kids around Epstein and you know and how Donald Trump is behaved his whole life and we know whatever I was but but but we I think we can recognize that Trump has attacked The American family um, he has attacked uh, the ability of people to Just live their lives. So he's he's constantly in your face and the predatoryal behavior and You know, it's always about me me me me me me and by the way Ben they all are the entire Trump family Are they're just so weird and they make it so about themselves as Americans are suffering? They're they're continuously like touting their wealth and and their importance I don't you see that a vank of thing where she was like riding on a horse so eloquently across the sunset like

59:46What was that post like who was that post for They told me about to be monoconometer because I think a very mask thing college or whatever But she gave like a room tour of her super Uh, like maxed out a dorm room, which is like better than 90% of people's homes It's like they are so tone deaf. I would say that but yet they don't have any tone It's all always about them and they're continuing to win and profit off the American people on the American misfortune But they don't care about that and they can't even see it through their own lenses man. It's wild Yeah, and So much of what government supposed to do Brett. Jor to you talked about this earlier is just the basic blocking and tackling Right, it's not supposed to be a reality show. It's not supposed to be dramatic or bizarre or any it's supposed to just be like You know delivering the mail right ensuring that people are able to Uh

1:00:47Get access to services Um, it's uh to ensure that you know people are able to um, you know live and prosper and just go go about go about their day and the same way Trump and Hegseth Don't give a shit about logistics when it comes to war Trump and Bessent don't give a shit about logistics when it comes to You know basic economic things, you know, they they deal in this whole propaganda world and Not only are the basics of what this is all supposed to be about getting ignored But they're just under attack. It's like the parallels here are so close It's like the reason that the aircraft carriers were not getting supplies and still really aren't is that Iran struck the logistical hub that the US military always used in Bahrain Right is like how do you not recognize that like we got to protect Bahrain and we got to protect our bases because that also supplies a complex network of food Because our sailors and our Marines need to eat if you have them out there and you're gonna do a never ending war

1:01:50Which we shouldn't do you got to make sure you have the supplies But no the Trump regimes too worried about whatever scheme or scam they don't do that And then you know you can get away with it for a little bit But then as we've always said before we talk about in our book Just like with the reflecting pool the algae always comes back You know your fraud gets exposed you can't do it forever and The more you compound the problem the worse that it gets and that's why we're in this situation with these gas prices Surging and you you may all have thought that I hope I hope you didn't think that I sounded a bit hysterical Few months back, you know 60 days ago when I was warning about these things happening And I gave you specific details about the reserves about what's going on in Yemen And that what's going I was talking to you about pipelines and things that really weren't being covered And I hope you didn't think that I was just doom and gloom and just saying these things because Whatever they were inflammatory I really wanted to give the road map of what I saw developing by the end of August early September You know we're seeing a lot of those things happen

1:02:52So you know that's why Donald Trump then you know he goes rinse and repeat at the midterm convention You all heard him say it. I don't need to play the whole clip again I'll play a little bit of it, but he goes I'm the only one who can do it if you vote Republican, but it's under this one condition that you vote Republican I will give you all five thousand dollars congratulations Congratulations really you now get five thousand dollars and then I went back and I was like I remember he would send all of those emails with doge the five thousand dollar doge dividend check He promised and he would email all of his supporters I'll give you a five thousand doge dividend check But you got to pay my mega pack money and donate to me and I'll give you a doge dividend check or Tara free bay checks or all of this stuff and I mean I just think it looks so utterly desperate I think the American people see it for what it was, but here's what he said again last night So you can see it for yourself. Let's play That Only I can make this promise to you and here is my promise

1:03:52If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate both of them because of our economic tremendous economic success like in history we've never had anything like what's happening But because of our tremendous strength and success economically I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for five thousand dollars very much like A successful company will do a cash distribution to a chair oldest or like last year when I gave our great members of the military 1776 remember

1:04:55Again, this error is going to be studied it needs to eat it's just it's just the weirdest thing I mean if you're watching that clip first off He's hugging the podium as if he's hugging it to make sure that he doesn't fall over and it is like the voice Infliction of how he even speaks it is so utterly bizarre and then he makes it a game show He makes it a contest it he goes five thousand dollars even it was real-world friggin road rules man It's absolutely pathetic only if you do this thing only if you do this though that that's how you get this You got to vote and it was and it wasn't a bribe But as opposed and clear enough that it was a bribe I want to tie it directly to the election results if you do this thing That's right and and you know, I think one of the most devious things About all of this if you kind of step back and and your memories Much Donald Trump has just crushed the average person in this country right and uh, you know Ben was saying uh, you know just before how he uses these moments to commit more fraud by then sending emails out to his supporters

1:05:55And saying you want to get that five thousand dollar check? Well do this one thing you got to give me money first And when you give me money you're gonna get rich in a little bit But first just send me money right it's like those like Nigerian print emails right send the money here And this Nigerian prince will make you rich in a few months You're gonna get a million dollars But you just need to send right now a thousand dollars to this prince and you need to help him out It's it's really known honestly. It's like there's no daylight between the two things And then Trump followed it up earlier today by uh, you know saying an addition to the five thousand dollars We're gonna give away these five hundred dollar rebate checks to one million lucky people Who suffered under Obamacare again very like games show like and he wants you to forget that his regime Let the enhanced the Affordable Care Act tax credits expire and so that everybody right now because of Donald Trump's direct actions Before we even get to the increases of premiums generally due to the insurance industry and everything else happening in our economy the average in roly right now in insurance is

1:06:56paying an extra one thousand sixteen dollars a year with the same plan they had last year Because of what Donald Trump did or rather what Donald Trump refused to do And that's of course on top of Americans already spending right now $670 to $770 extra dollars per household this year just on gasoline and diesel on these stats are like a month or two old So it's even more than that right now like uh the moody's guy a mark zandie at moody's analytics He estimated in june that the war had already cost the average American household roughly $1,000 each due to higher fuel food and other expenses and so that's even more now So Donald Trump here I just was what I want to point out is that he's doing what authoritarians have done throughout history ironically what communist dictators have done throughout history a point that Donald Trump has pointed out himself And told you the plan directly over the past few months saying I'd be the best communist all I'd have to do is offer all these free things and never deliver

1:07:59It's what he's doing he had already done it before them. It's what he's doing now But it's even worse because he's following this authoritarian playbook and he's imposed pain on people He's making people suffer and then he wants them to praise him for offering them scraps Which they will never even receive that's the tactic that's the plan Exactly real quick. I just want to emphasize again just how utterly bizarre That clip that we just played act like the visuals of that really are So you have Trump and the weird inflections in his voice You got the crazy people behind him who are just like locked in like zombies You have Trump's face itself. It looks like it's it looks like a melting off. He's hugging the podium I'm just describing what I'm seeing he's hugging the podium so he doesn't keel over and then the camera cuts to who Scott bests in and what is best into he tries to smile and we all know Mr. Besin has quite a bit of what I presume is just tons of friggin boat oxen So he just opens his teeth like he just opens his mouth and does this like weird little clap if you could even call to clap musters

1:09:03And the whole damn thing man. It is a clown show then Yeah, and he makes you suffer He essentially steals your bread and then dangles bread crumbs in front of you That he's never even going to give you the bread crumbs from your own bread that he stole And then he tries to make you think that you're indebted to him For the bread that he literally took install from you. He runs this scheme all the time and look here's the thing The American people are suffering right now and $5,000 is a lot of money is so much money to him I mean most Americans can think about that $5,000 and This is what makes it so extra cruel that that you know $500 For Americans $250 for most Americans could be the game changer right now about are they going to be able to eat the requisite amount of meals to get the right type of nutrition

1:10:06Well, they'd be able to feed their kids Um, who are going to school because Trump's cut their lunch programs So you talk about $5,000 compared to what Americans are making right now and he's saying I promise you and it's coming from the president of the United States But it's all a lie It makes the thing so extra cruel Even beyond even beyond you know, just the just the fraud of it all Um, and then he goes on Laura Ingraham state regime media fox and she goes well So why not just give it right now American people are suffering so if you can give $5,000 It's actually a decent question if you can give $5,000 after the election just do it right now right what why can't you and watch what he says here play this clip My name's just give the money now if you have the money want to give it out I'll tell you what because the democrats can't do it because with them it's negative growth with with us It's so positive So we're taking in $21 trillion

1:11:07Nobody no countries ever taken in anywhere near that it's four five times higher than the next All because of that beautiful word that you and I love more than most of his tariffs Do you like to you Again completely deranged he didn't even say a sentence. He just said a bunch of different words Because the democrats won't let it What does it even mean you control all branches of government right now? What do the democrats have to do anything because the democrats won't let it but after the election The democrats will let it in your view If the democrats lose then they're gonna let it and then that's the opportunity is now to your point control all three branches of government The democrats have nothing to do if you wanted to launch this now and give this to people they couldn't stop it So do it Donald do what what's holding you back here? Oh trying to make this a game showing lie to people And the real is the stock best and the last thing for the people that ask that in the comments We haven't played that interview in a very long time here We've confirmed it with her brother in a very interesting interview that we've done in the past It's a little bit of a digression yet, but yes the brother did confirm that I also believe like a really nasty comment to Ben

1:12:10And I'm like I need to defend my brother's honor. Yeah, and he's correct Shoo shoo comments Yeah, you know and Scott Besson there um, you know making those faces, you know Smiling and acting like all as well You know the the irony of it is Donald Trump wants everything every every way right he wants you to think that he could just give you all this money That would be like trillions of dollars right if he actually handed out you know the five thousand dollars Which would ironically cause Massive amounts of inflation massive amounts of inflation if Donald Trump did anything like that And would cause interest rates to go even higher and higher and higher But what Trump thinks that he could do is just keep stress testing the market and keep stress testing the market And he thinks that have all the other kind of market fundamentals will continue to ignore him At a certain point the markets reach a breaking point and we're already seeing that with these that's why the treasury yields are so high right now And when you see what Scott Besson is doing with these treasury buybacks to try to calm the bond market

1:13:11What you're seeing is that the bond market is realizing he's not coming it, but he is Conning the bond market and they understand that panic and they understand what is going on You can only stress test the market so much the fundamentals will always come back to burn you And so Trump right now you see him also he's constantly pushing for what lower interest rates If Donald Trump wanted lower interest rates He wouldn't be doing all these other things that he'd be doing because all Donald Trump needed to get lower interest rates would be to not do anything If Trump came into office and let the Biden economy continue on its trajectory Interest rates remember back then were projected there to be multiple cuts Multiple cuts to interest rates inflation was projected to keep going down below the Fed target of 2% Everything was heading on the right trajectory all Donald Trump had to do was do nothing But Trump did everything possible to cause incredible damage to the foundations of not only the United States economy

1:14:14But to the global economy and then he thinks that he can impose his will Like he does tries to do with everybody on these markets that don't give a damn about his will They just care about the market fundamentals And that's why I think this thing is heading for a crack that's why this is heading in a dangerous direction It's why we're not going to see lower interest rates on the contrary We're more likely to see interest rate hikes right now no matter what Donald Trump wants to say and this isn't some external market force That's causing it it's Donald Trump's own actions Having a direct impact on these markets. You think about what the bond market is though, right What's actually happening right the treasury department is doing bond auctions and so who's buying bonds at bond auctions countries Arge companies large institutional holders and they're looking to see is this a stable bond market And so the tension is between a seller of the bonds the treasury department and

1:15:21You know who's basically saying look at all the demand that I have for my bonds right and the bond buyers whether it's countries or institutions and so the institutions and the countries are saying you know what I'm seeing Norway unload billions of dollars of bonds. I'm seeing lots of countries sell their bonds right now I'm seeing you do these bond buybacks, which is actually telling me that you're very nervous about your ability to sell bonds at these auctions so We are not going to buy your bonds at the interest rates or at the treasury yields The return the yields that we're going to get You have to entice us more if you want us to buy your bonds and best into trying to say Well, I'm going to control this because I'll do a six billion dollar buyback of some of the 30 year treasuries that are

1:16:24Don't mess with me and the market which I just want to let you know what that means these are countries These are institutional. They're saying You think that your scheme is going to get us in nervous We now see weakness We see that you don't know what you're doing and in general We know that you can be paying us a lot more money if you want us to buy your bonds So when they do a round of auctions these countries and institutional investors are saying uh-uh You you have to entice us more and that ultimately means the US is paying more interest on the debt the notes The bonds that are being purchased by these outside and as one to explain to you what that means because the parallel here Is very similar to what the world is seeing about the United States soft and hard power No more soft power destroyed the secretary the state departments destroyed The multi-polar world that we now live in no longer has the US. It's done

1:17:27The US is not a global superpower. That's done the US Is still a powerful entity in theory in a multi-power world and a multi-polar world But what you have increasingly now seen is it is much weaker and you have to look at all these other polls that have developed a Canada EU polarity a China Russia North Korea bricks polarity um And then the US with its kind of exploitation and attack on its allies as former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said today And this is the former secretary of state I think we have this clip record check for it she goes we're not a serious nation anymore We're a dangerous nation we we go out no one takes us seriously And that impacts our bond markets that impacts our equities market it impacts Our ability to project strength soft and hard power abroad it impacts everything just take a look

1:18:31This is former secretary of state Hillary Clinton you play play if you got it Look right now. We're not a serious country It we're a dangerous country. We are causing all kinds of problems in the world. We're making ridiculous You know stands We're picking fights with our best friends We're threatening our best friends. We're giving passes to those who wish us ill I mean we are not a serious country and we don't have serious leadership If we do again, I think we can actually make progress. I remember Yeah, that's an important point and it's one I've been emphasizing and it's not a political point It is we are not a serious country We're not behaving like serious people like grown-ups like adults and when you watch the behavior of what's taking place at that convention This is not serious adult grown-up behavior This is the type of behavior We would expect to see in the most weirdest and deranged of cults which by the way sometimes can have a lot of followers

1:19:32But it's not that of serious governance Regardless of whether you're a Democrat Republican independent. This is not serious grown-up behavior I'll show you serious grown-up behavior Prime Minister Karney in Ukraine with Zalinsky talking about a true vision of strength For the world and canola's role in it. Let's just see what Prime Minister Karney had to say. Let's play I don't want to front run things, but um, we will we will be looking to use the coming months To explore a deepening of that partnership across a broad range of areas And we'll have more to speak say to that in stressful. Thank you Thank You remember That was the uh, not answer to the you remember Now contrast him to magamaik here was what magamaik had to say about let's play any magamaik Say I am on the ballot because in a real sense he is if he were to we were to lose the midterms

1:20:34Heaven forbid these Democrats Y'all impeachment's not even the big concern They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they'll go after the president's family The cabinet his donors and friends Yeah, it should be in it. That's what the congress is supposed to do oversight if you're stealing money from people If you're covering up child sex trafficking rings if you're looting and pillaging our treasury There should be investigated literally you are a supposed to be a co-equal branch of government Not supposed to be turned into you know Normally, I would do this Breton, Joriel bring it back in normally. I would say like the Russian Duma Or the North Korean parliament or whatever it is I honestly believe that they behave far more seriously than this group of clowns and it's pains me to say that But the way this Trump the way Trump and this magma movement in these Republicans behave It's just the

1:21:34They are they are the enemy firm within they are working against the United States They are a poison pill within our country and the behavior is just straight up absolutely deranged two more data points I'll just make I pretty much have talked about a lot, but the United States Supreme Court Issuing a ruling that basically sides with the Missouri State Supreme Court Which blocked the efforts by the magna Republicans in Missouri to implement a new map that would be seven to one in favor of Republicans and Congressional districts What it was previously six to two now the magna Republicans secretary of state and attorney general ignored all of the warnings By the state Supreme Court before and by other election officials saying You may go through a primary with the wrong map and we'll have to overturn that and you can come back and wine And say oh, we already use the illegal map so that must be in place and the state Supreme Court once they got this case before them

1:22:36And it worked its way through courts and we warned you about this We're not saying you can't do a new map. We're saying you can't unilaterally impose it if you want to do it You have to do a referendum do the referendum you all magna leaders have blocked the referendum You've made it more difficult to do what we told you you should have done And if you believed that the state would have voted for it You could have done what california did and and then we would have agreed with it We would have been fine with it But you didn't do that so on a seven to zero basis the Missouri State Supreme Court struck down the unlawful map that was used for the primary And then the Republicans the magna's argued well, we used it for the primary so we can't change it now And the state Supreme Court said no you used it on lawful map sorry, we're gonna use the other map And so the magna's in charge rushed to the Supreme Court last week the Supreme Court blocked what they were trying to do to restore the unlawful map And then the magna's Forum shopped and got a Trump appointed judge In Missouri in the district court who blocked the Missouri State Supreme Court just made up fake law about the US Constitution

1:23:44claiming it says if there's a primary you can't go back That's well who made up that you said why don't say that in the Constitution Then the eight circuit court of appeal said we don't have jurisdiction So then there was an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court and today the Supreme Court said We side with the state Supreme Court of Missouri We're going to block what the district court did and what the eight circuit did and we're going to agree that it's the six to two maps So you had that development Which which was it but but just think about just I think about all the machinations of corruption too that are coming out of You know Missouri and all these kind of you know Republican states when these things happen there was you know another Part of the story and it was very confusing right because he had one ruling that said one thing another ruling that said another and there's a lot of confusion amongst people like So what is actually happening then you had the Missouri Secretary of State a guy by the name of Denny Hoskins He was telling the state to use the illegal maps and so then You know they went to the Missouri Supreme Court the you know the people who were trying to get rid of these Jerry Mander maps And the Missouri Supreme Court today actually found that the Missouri Secretary of State would it was in contempt of court

1:24:51In contempt of court because he was disobeying the court order from the Supreme Court And was telling his officials to use this other map He was able to get that contempt of court purged before it actually to affect this civil contempt Because he ultimately ended up folding as he should and Audored officials to use the correct map the 2022 congressional map that is a six Republican seats to two democratic seats But it just shows you how corrupt this entire system is and how these officials are just do everything they can to just keep their power at all costs Even if it's just incredibly incredibly corrupt Yeah, then you had this Magger Republican Trump loyalist Joe D Genova Who had been tapped to oversee the DOJ conspiracy investigation that targets all of Donald Trump's Political rivals he resigned abruptly and obviously You know, we're trying to get to the bottom of more of that resignation

1:25:52But sources described it to Catherine falder's as growing frustration from Trump and senior DOJ officials Regarding his work on the so-called grand conspiracy investigation based out of the US attorney's office In the southern district of Florida and so the short of it is here is that even the most Extreme Trump loyalists are not loyal enough to Donald Trump's view of going after Trump's political opponents as they can't find Things to go after him for and they're trying desperately and so there's all of this in fighting taking place and You know, I think it's an inappropriate point to just And this episode because you know the wheels are coming off in a profound way right now. They are and the thing that is Disconcerting is that last time in 2020 we had an election where we had a new president

1:26:53This is an election where we're voting for the House and the Senate They're still not the executive branch and I think one of the things that Trump is setting up for Is what he's frankly best at and I don't mean this in a positive way is blaming A lot of the I promise you five thousand dollars. I promise you this and that Is also the setup for the blame when his policies result in catastrophe He finds a doctor Fauci a Biden Someone to put it all on and so what he's looking to do now and what the broader plan is this is how losers behave losers behave when they lose they don't take accountability they blame And so what he wants to do? Ah was so close. We were right about to get rich Everything was about to be amazing. You were about to get five thousand dollars things were gonna go great I told you we did everything I said I had to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon I had to stop him I had to do it even though he said you obliterated and you're the one who got out of the JCPOA

1:27:56Which stopped them under the Obama administration? You're the reason for all of these problems Then he goes we were so close and then the Democrats came in and now they screwed it up watch their quick pivot And then everything from New York City mayor mom Donnie Giving a heartfelt speech supporting 9-11 survivors and families of loved ones and releasing health records All of that becomes Obama Tansuit 2.0 right? Oh Obama Zoran Mamdani handed a pen to somebody to the police commissioner who gave it to this guy And oh my god you see the way he handed the pen how dare he had the pen like that It's like yeah Donald Trump say literal traitor to our country like he's a treasonous traitor And they're gonna devote all Hassan Piker the pen that this did that look at him naked on screen You know all this crazy stuff the Obama playbook they you know they will push the blame and the craziness Assume nami a fire hose of disinformation and blame. Oh

1:29:01They're not being fiscally conservative y'all ran up the debt to over 40 trillion dollars You screwed up every you're not fiscally conservative then they want to act like oh they're the ones who solve it You were the arsonist you created the fire you created the massive catastrophe that we're all dealing with So what we talk about though in WTF American why I think it's an important book way beyond the election Is it how do we get out of this hell Generationally because we can't just go back to the status quo Both from the perspective of we can't go back to a status quo Democrat Kumbaya. Let's just whatever. It's all good things are norm. No, no, no We have to understand what the people are experiencing and what they're going through But we can't go back to the seasaw of Republicans break it and destroy it then you try to fix it and then they Tarnished the people trying to fix it and then we go back to them to break it again

1:30:02this cycle is Something that has led to Trump being a vessel of this authoritarianism forming and Trump's an idiot, but the next authoritarian that comes in may be a little bit smarter than this idiot fat The wrecking ball that this person is causing we can't normalize. It's not about political messaging This isn't a normal election. This is some existential stuff that we have to recognize if we want our nation to survive truly We have to get out of this seasaw cycle of returning these degenerates these Trump regime arsonists whatever manifestation they take back to power Otherwise, we're done as a nation. We truly does not me being hyperbolic and right now we're at an existential moment We really are we really are and we all have to now more than ever stick together fight together and call this stuff out So that's what I got Brett join anything else you want to say before we go? I think he's summed it up well great episode brothers
