The MeidasTouch Podcast — Trump Panics as Midterms Near and Iran Attacks Escalate. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
This is getting ugly real quickly for Donald Trump. His night took a very dark turn as he continues to collapse before the midterms. He was posting deranged fake AI videos of the United States military attacking Carg Island and Trump wrote Carg Island being blown to smithereens, DJT with a fake AI video of war crimes taking place at Carg Island. Watch what he posted. Late last night, Donald Trump also gave an interview with state regime media which calls itself Fox. Donald Trump predicted doom for himself and the mega Republicans at the midterms. Play this clip.
And then he proceeded to post more deranged AI videos blowing up Carg Island when this did not take place. Let's play it. It should be noted that the United States did strike laryk island in Iran yesterday. Iran responded by striking US military bases in Jordan like the Muawafik salty base as well as other bases there and the AUD base in Qatar. Also we learned 48 hours ago, Iran struck a tanker that was trying to use the southern route in the strait of Hormuz by Oman. Iran continues to control the strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump though on his interview last night on state regime media with prices continuing to surge as a result of the catastrophic war in Iran.
And his disastrous trade war against the world, including his acceleration of that trade war against Canada lately. Trump said, I've largely taken care of inflation where good mission accomplished on inflation. Play this clip. That was big trouble. And frankly, you know, with the inflation, I've largely taken care of inflation. By the way, the gas. Then Donald Trump brags and boasts that oil prices are going down like a rocket and he goes, they will go down like a rocket even more as soon as we win that war. We have control over the Hormuz strait. No, we don't, but you could keep on lying here. Play this clip. By the way, the gasoline is going to go down. The oil is going to go down like a rocket going in the opposite direction as soon as we win that war, complete the war. Already, you know, we've got total control. I would say almost totally could be a nuisance, but we have control of the Hormuz strait. We've swept it of all the mines. You know, we don't have
mines there now. We have all of the international. We got rid of them. We very little help from other countries. And we help other countries. We spend billions and it should also be noted that Donald Trump's fraudulent deal with Venezuela has backfired in his face. We know in Venezuela, the people there are absolutely livid. Even people who support the Rodriguez regime, the Del C. Rodriguez regime are livid. The opposition party is livid. And here in the United States, this has been utterly exposed as just a market manipulation scheme by Donald Trump claiming we're going to be getting 64 billion barrels of oil. And it's going to fill up the strategic petroleum reserves as we've exposed over and over again, the type of oil that exists in Venezuela can even be used right away in the strategic petroleum reserve. It would take years to build that infrastructure, also the 65 billion barrels is essentially made up number. Also, there's no written agreement.
And it just seems like one of these fake and phony Trump deals where he announces a big number. This is going to solve the oil price, the oil crisis when it absolutely isn't. But Donald Trump does want you to see that he's playing golf on the taxpayer dime. And also last night, he was posting videos of himself playing golf. And this is a video that he actually posted as the American people are suffering in can afford groceries and can afford gas and the price of gas and diesels at record highs. And the price of everything's pretty much at record highs. And people can't afford rent and can't buy a home. This is what he's posting himself golfing like this play this clip. And then on that deranged interview with state regime media Fox, he continued to attack Canada, play this clip. And so maybe people allow me to be strong to help save our nation. As an example, Canada were putting very substantial. There was 60 billion a year for many years with Canada.
More than that, they used to lose, but when it was all of this tremendous money, they think they're estate, but they're not a state. Why should we be subsidizing Canada? And I've said it for a long time. And I would have done it in the first term, but we were doing other things. And we did have the Russia, Russia, Russia, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, created by Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, and all of these people is interview was with trade gaudy, a former Maga Republican Congress member who also was making very weird faces throughout this interview. These magas are just a bunch of very weird people, the rug. What kind of weird faces that very strange behavior? Then Donald Trump says, you know, before I took office, people were laughing at us. And they said, what a weekend pathetic nation. Now they appreciate how strong we are. And we've never been hotter. Actually, quite the opposite, although I'll say that lots of people aren't laughing at us. They are looking at us, like disgusted. Like how could the United States become such a loser country so quickly under
this Trump regime? That's what most countries, our former allies are horrified. Probably she and Putin are laughing right now and Kim Jong-un is laughing, but it's pretty sickening to most of the world just how weak we've become. Play this clip. And that was a year ago. And now we're much hotter than we were then. So we're respected again today. People were laughing at us. We were a joke. We were an embarrassment to our founders. We were an embarrassment to our country. We were an embarrassment to everything we stand for. You know, you talk about free enterprise at all. We were like an embarrassment. We had no idea. We had no leader. And speaking of weak, Sencom under Admiral Brad Cooper, what the hell has happened to Sencom? I mean, such an utter disappointment. Sencom has become a propaganda arm of the Trump regime. And here's their latest post. Claim. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed in a recent statement
that strikes by US forces to prevent the IRGC from placing mines in the strait of Hormuz were an act of aggression. This claim is absolutely false. What the hell are you talking about, Sencom? Last night, the US struck Laric Island in Iran. You attacked it. You blew things up there. You killed multiple people on Laric Island. Iran responded by striking US bases in Jordan and striking a base in Qatar, the AUD base. What are you fact checking? What were you saying? It's not an active aggression. When the US blows things up in attacks Iran, it's not an active aggression. I mean, this is like utterly deranged behavior by Sencom. I mean, we know Trump is a deranged, psychotic lunatic. This is coming from Admiral Brad Cooper. He should be ashamed of himself. Then Sencom goes fact, US forces took limited precise action against IRGC mine-laying forces,
posing an imminent threat in the strait of Hormuz. In essence, Iran created the threat and the US military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce. You're saying that therefore it's not an active aggression. The hell is even going on here. By the way, did you see that Washington Post report? I'll do a longer report on this this morning. Check back in 90 minutes. I'm going to be doing a lot more reports on this. But our top military commanders and other theaters of war, like in the Pacific, in Europe, in South America, some of our top navy leaders. In the Secretary of Defense is order books. They basically had a non-concurrence that they don't agree with the way the war is being carried out by Hegsith and Trump. Then the Trump regimes, Pentagon spokesperson was like, the Washington Post, it's criminal for
them to publish this classified material from our top military leaders. The only person, by the way, who the only military leader who's like really going along with this is Brad Cooper, who's been the biggest disappointment in top military leaders I speak with. Tell me that they just think Cooper is just a complete nutter clown. But everybody else has been warning that these plans are absolutely disastrous. This war is disastrous. We're out of weapons. There's no logistical planning taking place. It's really, really bad. Also, there was another great report from the Washington Post. Did you see this? How Donald Trump and Hegsith are using MAGA influencers who are pretending to be journalists, but who actually work for the Pentagon as special government employees. But they don't disclose it. They just spew Trump and Hegsith propaganda. That was exposed as well. Donald Trump, as part of this deranged interview with state regime media, which calls itself Fox. Donald Trump's
like, you know, at the end of the day, I'm going to campaign like I'm on the ballot and people like me more than the Republican Party. So that's why the Republican Party may not win because I'm not necessarily going to be on the ballot here. Play this clip. But some people like me more than they like the party. I mean, you know, you can't be insulted by this. Nothing you can do about it. But if they go out and vote, we're going to win. And if we know, our country's going to be in set shape because we're going to go through a lot of things. Trump also says that if Republicans lose in the midterms, transgender and men and women's sports will never end. Whatever the hell that means, play this clip. We're going to go through a lot of things. You're going to have the taxes raised. You're going to have crazy things happening like the men and women's sports will never end. None of the stuff transgender will never end open borders. They'll open the borders immediately. I mean, they'll open the borders. I heard somebody on television. He says the economy is doing amazing, way better than his first term, even that this is the greatest economy ever, which of course we all
know to be false. Let's play it. We had the most successful first term financially that anybody's ever had up until now. I think we're going to blow it away now because we have factories being built all over the country. It's amazing. But I think we're going to have something that I think when we're finished, we're going to have a term that's been unbelievable. It's also a very bizarre interview by Trey Gowdy. And he was like the ballroom, the helipad. How are you so diligent, Donald? How are you so diligent with everything you do here? Play this clip. I watched you out there with the helipad, the ballroom, the whole world will see that. I've also seen you get out of a golf cart and move stakes that no one else in the world will see. I think it was a T-box and you were out of the cart in the heat, moving stakes. Where does that come from? I'm a perfectionist. And if I see a crooked
line, if I see a corner that's not square, if I see something going on that isn't good, if I see dirt, that's one of the things I hate about the radical left. I mean, you don't get hotter than that. I'll just give you an example of what some of these mega influencers, I guess, were being paid to do. So Thomas Anderson, who goes by the ex-account name, cynical Publius, here he is defending Pete Hegsif in American greatness without disclosing that he's a fed. And all these people, right, who won't will be like the deep state, the deep state, the deep state, they're the deep state, they're like secret feds. All these mega influencers are like secret feds. So who would have thought, right? The people, I'm going to make a separate point here, the people who warned about the Epstein class and the Epstein, some of those magas like all of those people in Trump's orbit, they warned about it and then it turned out that many of them have been involved in the cover-up. And then separately, you got all these people, the deep state, the feds, the feds, they're feds, they're actually
working, they're mega influencers, but they're actually work for the government. They're being paid by taxpayers to spew pro-hegsith and regime propaganda for Trump and then to attack Trump's enemies on social media. And then you have Sencom saying, that was an active aggression when we attacked Lara Gailan in Iran last night, that was us just being nice and friendly. You can't make this stuff up, folks.
