He's also attacking the MidasTouch network than 24 hours of the MidasTouch network winning podcast of the year for the news category in the iHeart Awards that just took place and shout out to iHeart. We're grateful for that award. But Donald Trump and his regime kept on referring to us as dumbasses yesterday on social media, not every day where you're called a dumbass by the White House, something I will tell my daughter when she's older. The White House called me a dumbass because I called out their unlawful war that has destroyed the United States of America. Let me show you what went down. So we were exposing the hypocrisy of the White House, what else is new? They lie about everything where they were trying to say, of course, Iran poses a threat to the United States, an imminent threat.

That's why we had to invade. So then we just showed a post of Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, when she previously wrote, to be clear no such threat from Iran to our homeland exists. And it never did to which we were called a dumbass by the official White House rapid response account. No such threat to our homeland of Iran launching a drone offensive on our West Coast dumbasses. So let's just rewind and let me show you what happened and what we then said to the White House and Trump in response that has since gone mega viral. But first this ultra mega right wing extremist by the name of Joe Kent, who has been serving as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He resigned from his position, objecting to Donald Trump's unlawful war in Iran.

He said that this war is a war of choice that Iran did not pose any imminent threat to the United States. Essentially that it is a betrayal to the magma movement. And while this guy, Joe Kent, is certainly a right wing extremist who has said and done some of the most heinous things that we've called out, he did previously serve like in 11 combat tours. He is a husband of his wife died in Syria in 2019, a gold star husband. And amongst the kind of far right magas, they like this guy, even though we call him out. So him saying that Donald Trump betrayed the magma movement and him resigning his position. And he did it in a very kind of dramatic fashion. He's Tulsi Gabbard's number two. He told Tulsi he was going to resign and Tulsa, wait, wait, wait, just speak to JD Vans. You got to go to the White House. So he went to the White House. He told JD Vans that he was going

to resign and did the resignation letter. Now he's I think going to be going on Tucker Carlson. And so he posted his resignation that it's a betrayal of magma. That post went mega viral, like over 75 million views on X formally Twitter in a period of 24 hours. So in response, Caroline Levitt got all nervous. And so she responded to Joseph Kent saying that Iran did not pose an imminent threat that we were dragged into this war by Netanyahu and Israel and that this will be a catastrophe for the United States of America. So Caroline Levitt says in response to Joseph Kent, she goes, there are many false claims in this letter. But let me address one specifically that Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over as president Trump has clearly and explicitly stated he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was

going to attack the United States first. The evidence was compiled from many sources and many factors. We're not going to tell you but many sources and many factors. So we just responded to Caroline Levitt with her own post. So Caroline Levitt a week or so ago posted the following with respect to a story by ABC that Iran was potentially going to attack the United States and potentially looking to attack the west coast of California and LA by the way where I live. Caroline Levitt previously wrote this post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC news for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people. They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single unverified tip. The email even states the tip was based on unverified intelligence. Yet ABC news left out this critical fact in their story. Why? To be clear, no such threat from Iran to our homeland

exists and it never did. So we just posted Caroline's message. So then Trump's rapid response White House team referred to us as dumbasses and they go no such threat to our homeland of Iran launching a drone offensive on our west coast dumbasses. The nuclear threat of the psychotic murderous Iranian regime is very real however. Thank god we finally have a president who's doing something about it. So then we responded to Trump in his White House by saying what nuclear threat dumbasses and all we simply did with a mic drop moment was we posted a press release from the White House dated June 25th 2025 where the White House posted Iran's nuclear facilities have been obliterated and suggestions otherwise are fake news.

So if you completely obliterated Iran's nuclear program on June 25th 2025 you are now claiming the nuclear threat of the psychotic murderous Iranian regime is very real. How could it be very real if you obliterated it back in June? This is the problem Trump regime when you literally lie about every single thing. Also it should be noted that the Trump regime then went on to attack Joe Kent throughout the entire day and they said that oh, Joe Kent is a leaker and he's disloyal and he's a bad guy and he's someone he's the he's now a liberal. What are you talking about? But it just goes to show Joe Kent. This is what happened when you call out the cult and if you're MAGA that means you have to cover up child sex trafficking rings now. MAGA equals you're the Epstein class, right? Trump says you're not MAGA if you you could do all the things

that Marjorie Taylor green did, but you're not MAGA if you say stop the child sex trafficking cover up. If you're totally MAGA with all of their crazy extremists, delusional and deranged things but you go yeah, but doing this war in Iran, we're now the straight of Hormuz is blocked in America's economies is cratering and we've lost the lives of 13 service members and Donald Trump is out there like campaigning off of it 200 seriously injured there's this never ending war oh you call that out you're not MAGA you're exiled and that's what Joe Kent is seeing.

Now there's been time over time. This Trump regime has been attacking the Midas touch network. As you know, state regime media which calls itself Fox frequently attacking the Midas touch network. One of our host Aaron Parnas very early on in the Trump regime was threatened with arrest by the Trump regime because he was reporting on where ice raids were taking place. Like not this past February the February of 2025 when the ice surge just started to begin. We've had hosts like Katie Fane get attacked and the Midas touch network has been attacked. Remember when the Midas touch network broke the story about how the military was going to be doing those tests on or around last October where they were going to be shooting live ammunition over

the highway. Remember Midas touch network broke that story then we broke the story. First we said we believe that with these live munitions that they're firing over the highways that it could result in some of the shrapnel falling into the highway then we reported when the shrapnel was in the highway then everybody was like oh that's such irresponsible reporting you don't know what you're talking about and even like corporate news was attacking us right now we had all the facts right we told you all when the live munitions test was going to be taking place they use these an M795 high explosive rounds that were detonated and now the defense department issued a report military report is saying that is a 1 in a million live fire malfunction that rained shrapnel on the California highway so we went from being completely attacked whenever that was last October or before then on this to you got it right and and and now it's a 666 page report

our odd number by the way saying this was a once a 1 in a million situation when we were calling it out from the outside by we were calling out was going to happen this trade of removes we were calling out what's going to happen when you tariff against the world wide because when you follow it's not because you know we're like prescient and we predict the future we're just listening to what the experts are saying what the scientists are saying what the facts are saying right in front of us and look folks I'm just going to say this this Trump regime has all of MAGA live it right now about this unlawful war about the cover up of the Epstein files this Trump's popularity which was already at historic lows continues to plummet did you see this right here Pennsylvania voters who voted three times for Trump here's what they had to say play this clip if you could say something to President Trump he was going to hear you right now what would it be you're a worthless pile of and you voted for him how many times three times that was my bad apparently I'm an idiot

what about these right wing conservative influencers who were like I've been loyal to Trump for so long not anymore here play this clip I've been a loyal supporter of the president for almost 20 years this goes back to when I was 21 years old and I was miss you uh California at the Miss USA pageant and I've known him I consider him a dear friend and I will tell you right now I do not recognize our president and MAGA let me tell you right now MAGA is dead it is deader than dead and Americans are furious we do not recognize president Donald J Trump anymore people just live it about the rising gas prices listen to what this trucker had to say play this clip at least once every day if I'm on e it's about 207 every day right now uh yeah it's pretty crazy I went from 140 a day to 207 a day or the rising grocery prices here play this clip we bought stuff for your stew and some snacks and a plant $150 could keep going up and up and up people on on

lowering pay uh they're they're hurting this is the new normal I think everything is more expensive now and it sucks I don't really know what else there's one thing I want to share with you as well though is that Donald tries want to show you the sentiment out there and and and it's very difficult for me to people who vote for Trump three times for me to fully understand how you could do that when there's so many glaring warning signs but I do recognize that it is important that you know you provide at least some off ramp I guess for people who whatever um but what we're going to do here at the Midas touch network is not chase those people at all we're just going to report on the facts each and every day and if the Trump regime wants to threaten harass us cause dumbasses or whatever so be it okay we're we're going to report the facts and we're going to report on them relentlessly and fearlessly by the way that's what this speech

was that we gave when we won the iHeart award for the best news podcast of the year I don't think it's coincidental and after winning that award that the Trump regime has been attacking us here was the speech that we gave when we won iHeart podcast news podcast of the year and I want to give a shout out to all the Midas mighty for supporting us and just just take a watch of this here play this clip right here wow this is crazy we are so humbled to win but most importantly we are grateful that we beat Megan Kelly I think that was a if I went home if we went home to our wives and said we lost to Megan Kelly that door would be and I want to thank our wives as well because we quit our real jobs to become podcasters and it's hard to believe in that dream right away when we had two people listening to us or three people listening to us and those were our three wives at

the time and perhaps our parents but I can't confirm whether or not the parents were actually listening but we grew this news network now what's the latest nine billion views in the past two years on YouTube and I think the reason that this is connecting is because we're not both sidesying the issues when we see injustice we're calling it out with moral clarity we're not afraid to call out fascism when we see it when we see ice and border patrol on our streets killing our people we call it out when we see injustices happening internationally we call it out we're not afraid we approach this with a fearlessness and we are inspired by all of you by this community and right now more than ever we need courage we need to stick together we need to fight for democracy

and we all need to lean on each other during these times democracy will prevail the truth will prevail and if three brothers from Long Island can be standing on the stage beating Megan Kelly and everybody should pick up a microphone and do the same so you have that versus like what was Donald Trump talking about in the past 24 hours he keeps referring to his war in Iran as a little excursion he was I was like to Suzy Wiles my chief of staff things are going so good in this country can we take an excursion right now let's do an erotic excursion and Suzy Wiles my chief of staffs like do it do it go do a war let's play this clip doing better we had to do a little excursion if you don't mind excursion to take care of nuclear weaponry in the hands of maniacs but other than that in a couple of weeks and won't be much longer it's moving along fast we're way ahead of schedule did you know that mr. Speaker or Donald Trump was like speaking

yesterday he was with the the t-shock was like the prime minister of Ireland and Donald Trump kept on saying like how handsome men were in the audience like you are really handsome you're a fine physical specimen just really weird you're play this clip name for the Irish American warrior who president grant called the finest specimen of physical manhood I've ever looked upon we didn't know that about president grant I think we just learned something but I could say that about your sons okay Kelly I could say that about your sons it was a boxing champion like champions who would think from this one it's got to be from well I didn't know about your Italian roots either I thought he was a super was you know to me then you have Kevin Hassett Donald Trump's national economic advisor who is out there saying look if this war continues to be extended it's not really going to impact the American economy it's just going to hurt consumers and who really

gives a crap about consumers nobody cares about consumers right now you're a play this clip but the fact is that the US economy is fundamentally sound and that if it were to be extended this it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all it would hurt consumers and we'd have to think about you know if that continued what we would have to do about that but that's like really the last of our concerns right now because we're very confident that this thing is going ahead of discussion nobody cares about consumers what are you and the world are you talking about and I just want to share this with you as well because I think one of the things that are being missed when we talk about the closure of the Strait of Horde Moose as well is that it's not just the the oil it's not just the crude that's stuck right and it's not just creating this oil shock these ships carry things like helium aluminum food fertilizer and that supply chain just destroyed right now destroyed right now watch as they describe what's going down on CNN let's play

I mean the Strait of Horde Moose as we've been talking about is locked down about 20% of the world's oil comes through there but that's not the only thing all other ships that don't carry oil but how that carry other products are also stuck in the Persian Gulf and they carry things like helium aluminum they carry food they've carry fertilizer which is a key ingredient for food food prices could start to surge as well and one of the other things is natural gas and remember our electricity runs on natural gas one of the big power sucks is AI right now and natural gas powers that so all of that could compound and make prices a lot more expensive. All right Trump regime you want to attack us attack us well we'll just pop pop pop fact fact fact fact fact just hit you with the facts every day and so we're going to do here really an honor to win that I hard award I guess really an honor for Donald Trump to call us dumbasses another day keep reporting keep fighting back for democracy hit subscribe let's
