Tuesday Afternoon Breaking Updates with Ben 9/15/2026

0:00Welcome to Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Myselis and this is your breaking news. And folks, I just want to say at the outset, I certainly understand that these are incredibly difficult times. And I know sometimes when we report on breaking news, maybe sometimes it feels cold, it feels detached from your experience. And so I want to acknowledge that the very outset, when we talk here about the surging price of gas, the surging price of diesel, when we talk about the per price of barrel of crude, whether it's WTI or Brent, when we talk about this catastrophic war in Iran, when we talk about affordability and the cost of living, I understand that behind this screen or phone or if you're listening to this on audio, you know, beaming into your headset, I understand that there are people

1:08behind this. And we're experiencing this together. And this wrecking ball that is the Trump regime, what is first and foremost in my mind, not in a political way at all, frankly, because whether you're a Democrat, independent, Republican or whatever, I understand that you're suffering. And that's not hyperbolic. This is a form of psychological torture. That's not hyperbolic. I understand that you're experiencing that. And so I can control what I can control and that's about it. And so I just want you to know that behind these breaking news stories, behind the reporting that we do, as we build out this network, first and foremost, it's about you. And I want to let you know that I'm going to do everything I can to report accurately, to lead the news cycle with the truth, to build out independent media, because this is a fight for the people. This is a fight with the people. And you

2:12have the Trump regime, as Trump was bragging about yesterday on social media post laid into the night, focused on turning the White House into a palace, words that Donald Trump used, turn it into a palace while the people are suffering. You know, they talk about Nero playing the fiddle as Rome burned. You have Donald Trump taking the, he's not even playing the fiddle. He's out there sure he's playing golf or cheating in golf while our country burns. But these are grim and serious times. And the Trump regime and their propaganda network, they did everything in their trillion dollar playbook with all that right wing disinformation money to scare everybody about bite in this and bite in that. And all of the things it turned out to be projection. It's the exact things that they're doing, whether it's covering up the Epstein files, getting the United States into wars everywhere, whether

3:14it is being the deep state, right? I mean, the Trump regime, mega influencers, a lot of them are feds and they turn out that they're secret feds. They're the deep state. All of the stuff that they've been doing is projection and confession. And so I just wanted to take the time in the outset to let you know we're fighting for you. Also, at the outset, this is my view of the opposition party, whether they're Democrat or, you know, what an opposition party needs to be doing where you have an authoritarian regime like this. What we saw today in the Senate and the House is what oversight could actually look like, right? This is why Maga Mike Johnson and this is why the Maga Republicans in the Senate didn't want to work during this Trump term because that would mean Congress's in session. And then you would get Trump regime officials who would be called and they would be cross-examined

4:15and they wouldn't be on their propaganda networks. They would be cross-examined by members of Congress. And we saw what that looked like today. We'll go over that in this episode. When Cash Patel was cross-examined, how awful he was when Treasury Secretary Besend was cross-examined in the House, how awful it was. And here on the Midas Touch Network, we're going to show you the clips of what happened. So you can see it for yourself. And again, my view, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, independent, whatever, we need to be talking about core values and principles, right and wrong. That's what has been lost in all of this gamified reality style coverage of politics. When you turn it into a game in a reality show, what do you get? A reality show president except one that is completely dystopian and chaotic

5:20and all over the place and unqualified, right? And an evil, demonic. That's why we talk about core values and principles. Why are we covering this? It's not to aimlessly root for the donkey or the elephant. It is to bring in people to fight for us, not take from us. The example I've given is this Trump regime takes our loaf of bread. They then dangle breadcrumbs and then they don't even give us the breadcrumbs. And then they laugh at us while they pile up the loaves of bread. I care what political party you're from. That's not okay. We should all be against that. And I often get asked, Ben, what's your view on this political messaging or that? I said, wrong guy. I'm not political messaging guy. I'm news guy. Okay, but I say this, heading into this election, it's not about political messaging. It's about lived experience.

6:26If you lived the experience that most Americans did and you're okay with the behavior of this Trump regime and what was inflicted upon you, there's nothing I'm going to be able to do to message you to change your mind at this point. What Trump has unleashed is hell, objectively in my view. In every aspect, from the economy to Epstein, it's been hell to war. Every aspect of it, it's been hell. If you think this is the golden age, truly, spin that somewhere else. I have no interest in debating you. I have no interest in talking to you. I have no interest in wanting you to even watch this. Yeah, you're lost. And I wish you the best in whatever you perceive life to be about, which is apparently you being treated like shit. I'm not going to be able to get through to you. If you want a government not to inflict things upon you, but to do things to help you,

7:29and to not be involved in never ending wars and to be transparent, then you probably look at this lived experience as it being hell. And as you look to the alternatives out there, this is why I say, if the year of the opposition, you're not going to do deals with the devil. You're not going to do deals with themonic people. You're not going to do deals with evil. You can't make a good deal with bad people. So if you're the opposition, just don't even go, oh, we're going to try to do this or that and see if we can bring this, just say, no, say, we're not doing deals. We're not. You can't do a deal with Trump. Look what he's doing to Canada. He's sociopathic. Look what he's doing at the Kennedy Center. He's sociopath. He's a lunatic. He's a psycho. You can't do. You can't speak rationally to this people and the people who said that they're truthfully, if it turned out that they were actually demonic people,

8:34like if you actually did the big Scooby Doo reveal and you took off their, their terrestrial bodies and demons popped out of it. Well, that made sense. Got it. Like I wouldn't, I wouldn't be like, whoa. And look, I'm being a little bit, you know, that liberty with my words here, but the way they behaved is pure evil, pure evil. So you can't we can do deals with them. No, Foshtey and Bargit's no. What you just have to say is this, ruthless and relentless oversight. And every day, we will report back to the American people about what we've accomplished on the oversight front. And we will do a daily oversight brief from judiciary to the House Oversight Committee to agriculture to housing to foreign affairs, to national intelligence. We will then report back to you and we will keep a record.

9:39We will keep a record so that in the future, there is accountability, even where the executive branch refuses to take care that laws are faithfully executed. You see, if you're running for office in 2028 and your position is not and on day one, you will rip down everything that has Trump's name on it. You are disqualified. Goodbye. You're not I know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, on day one, on live TV, the bulldozers moving and destroy it all. The ballroom, the arch, all this shit down. Bulldozed on live TV day one. If that is not something that you're willing, you're not qualified to run in this environment. Get the hell out. This isn't a time. No, no, no, no, that's what happens on day one broadcast live while the people in this country rejoice. That's the moment that we are

10:45facing right now. It's like a Saddam Hussein moment in many ways in terms of the authoritarian regime that has inflicted so much pain. The statues come down. The name goes down. That's what needs to happen. You know, Biden was Kumbaya, Kumbaya, through a wait wait three years. You saw how that happened. You saw how you see how evil percolates. It's not just rooted here in the United States. These are international forces. You understand? International. It's rooted in this trumpism. What we saw with the orbans to the trumps. What you see in the new leadership in Colombia. What you see in the Netanyahu regime. What you see in Ecuador. Nabooa. What you see in El Salvador. That's what you are seeing. And it's it combines our Jantina Malay. I keep going. You get it. Get the point.

11:53These are international forces. And it's not a shocker when you see the Saudi Arabian royal family on the ropes right now as on Surala the Houthis are making massive gains in Yemen taking over all of Western Yemen and not just moving east as they head to aid in in some of these other cities and not just striking the refineries in Yambu, Western Saudi Arabia, Abkiyak, Eastern Saudi Arabia. But the very foundation of the Saudi monarchy, the Jordanian monarchy, these royal families in the Middle East are now in doubt. The people are looking at them and saying got it. This is just a way to aid in a bett trump. Aid in a bett Netanyahu, right? I mean,

13:01what meeting is taking place over the past 48 hours in Saudi Arabia. It's Netanyahu, Masad. It's like not me being conspiratorial. It's what's happening. It's Sencom, Netanyahu, Saudi Arabia because it's existential for MBS. You see the security architecture that was built in the region is rooted in that dynamic for an MBS from a royal family. MBS is like Don Jr. Right? These these these royal families, they're like they're like Eric and Don and Baron. Like that's who we're dealing with. They are of course they flock to each other. And the question is when you see the Saudi PLC forces or this or that, what are they fighting? I mean, are they ultimately fighting for Netanyahu? I mean, this is what they're asking. This is what the this is the dynamic. And this isn't me being hyperbolic. I'm just this is an objective reality that's on the

14:04ground. If you're the PLC forces, you are fighting for the royal family, right? And Netanyahu and Trump. And that's a hard sell. And maybe it was less hard of a sell when the US projected strength in the region. And the US didn't have a lunatic psychopath. And this isn't always just rooted in Trump. I'll be clear. You go back. There's a history here that we need to be profoundly aware about as well. But now seeing Donald Trump reveal that the US loses in a war to Iran. Everything's now starting to fall apart. And that trickles trickle down that trickles into the US economy, right? One of the main reasons the Houthis are buoyed right now is they go look Iran, who we're allied with, beat the United States Saudi Arabia gets its weapons from the US. The US

15:09is out of munitions. Okay, we feel that we will call their bluff and call their bluff they did when on Sirala entered into mocha. And some of the other areas it turned out that MBS was bluffing. He said that there were 80% more troops than that were actually there is what on Sirala discovered. And right now what we're seeing is Saudi Arabia Netanyahu said come planning, plotting, sharing intelligence, not conspiratorial. This is what they're saying they're doing. Okay, like this is what's happening. And they're desperately trying to stop the Houthi advance right now. And the Houthis have been striking in Yambu, Western Saudi Arabia, in Abkiyak, Eastern Saudi Arabia, in Abha, slightly up the coast in Saudi Arabia as well. Those refineries are badly damaged. East West pipeline, not looking good. Right, a lot of the

16:16pumping stations destroyed. Europe just found out they ain't getting their oil deliveries. I hope you didn't think when I was saying these things a few months back. I was being hysterical or hyperbolic. I was trying to warn about these things. And this isn't to spike the football moment, go back to how I started this episode. There's real suffering amongst the people, not just here in the United States abroad. And it was avoidable suffering. You know, often economic crises sometimes evolve over time when the pipes and the plumbing of the economy have a blind spot. And it's not the fault always of the people in charge. They have to respond and react to it. This issue has purely been caused by Donald Trump. And sadly, it's the perfect storm. His tariffs and trade wars against the world, his erosion of US credibility, destruction of credibility

17:22of the United States as a reliable, predictable, grown up, serious actor. It's a big problem when you lose the status of being viewed as serious. When you're viewed as a cloutish nation, when you're viewed as like, and I don't mean this to disparage developing nations because developing nations often behave in their national interests to try to become a developed nation. But the US is behaving as like a, you know, it's hard to even think of the example of like a weird developing authoritarian nation that behaved because they would implode in on itself right now. But you have the catastrophic wars. You have the botched memorandum of understanding that the Trump regime breached and violated the MOU. We have the tariff and trade wars against the world. And you see everything right now is a wreck. And it's all falling apart before our eyes right now. We're seeing it happen

18:27in real time. Countries are pulling their money out of the bond markets here in the United States to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. The treasury yields are continuing to rise and rise and rise. A mortgage right now, 30 year fix, 7.17% homes are unaffordable. Everything is unaffordable right now here in the United States. Gas and diesel, surging to record highs. And I'm not, I'm not sipping for oil execs. So please don't misconstrue this. But the top oil execs they themselves are saying were past the point of no return. And there's no way to unwind what's been unleashed. We will suffer cataclysmic shortages. That's what's going to happen. And meanwhile, Donald Trump is out there saying, look at my Venezuela deal. Look, I get to steal their resources. I get to steal their assets. Notably when Treasury Secretary Beset was cross

19:32examined. We'll show you this later on about Venezuela. I can't tell you where the money is. The Treasury Secretary wouldn't answer where the money is where the money flows are. Right. You had a congressman ask, well, Trump says that we brought in 13 billion dollars. Who's the we? Where is it? I can't answer that. I can't answer that. There's coutari bank accounts where a lot of this money is going. But that amount of money stolen from Venezuela, it's not additional money. It's not like Venezuela has produced more oil than it did last year. It's about the same about the same the people of Venezuela still suffer. And Trump lies and says, ah, we did the 65 billion barrels of oil deal. We're going to fill up our salt caverns here in the strategic petroleum reserve. That's happening. It's not happening. So when you lie and claim you talk to the Houthis and you don't, you lie and claim you talk to Iran and you don't,

20:34you claim that the salt caverns are going to be filled with the sour viscous dense Venezuela oil that hypothetically may be refined in 10 years. That's a lie. It's all a lie. And shame on the people who were complicit in this when you knew this was a lie, when you knew this is a lie. And so here we are 24 hours away where almost certainly we're going to see a major fed rate hike tomorrow when we should have had three rate cuts. Almost certainly the coming months ahead look grim. And that's why I start this episode in a little bit of a different way rather breaking news. You can use our grim times. These are grim, grim, grim times because we don't have serious human beings behaving. Well, if they're not, they're not able to behave seriously, but our country isn't behaving as a serious country. And that's not a democratic

21:37position. I don't think I've said, I think I made this point on the show I do with the brothers. I don't think I've made any political points. Oh, the Democrats. Lately, I don't think at all. That's not what you come to the minus touch network for. This is facts. This is just facts. And it's sickening to me to see this behavior. I mean, we'll talk about it in a moment. But when Donald Trump lost in front of the Supreme Court, which blocked his scheme to have the U.S. Postal Service, create a new system for collecting state ballots for the upcoming elections that would have to use a Trump barcode with a Trump voter list states rights. We can use the Postal Service to Trump states rights, freaking Postal

22:38Service to destroy our ability to deliver mail when it comes to ballots with Trump barcodes. But how did he behave when he lost? The Democrats and these are the people that I interviewed. And they're so mean to me. Lately, when I went to stop, man, again, I don't understand the behavior setting aside the policies are cruel. The behaviors that of a loser, it's loser behavior. That's the thing. We know we shouldn't want whatever political party you are, the QB of the country to behave like a loser. You know how winners behave when you lose, you accept it, you are gracious. You win some, you lose some, you handle it with humility. You don't boast or brag. You do public service for the public. That's what we should do. That shouldn't be a democratic point or

23:39a Republican point. So shame on these Republicans. If we were in normal times, he would be impeached and convicted. You know what we had during Nixon was at least Republicans who stood up and said, you know what, that's wrong. And right now, we don't. And we don't because that was part of the plan. The plan was, and this was hatched by Roger Al's and others, create a right wing propaganda environment to insulate the next Nixon. Well, you got someone a thousand times more dangerous and dumber than Nixon. And this plan over 40 years that metastasized has shielded this from the right amount of scrutiny while you have the other media and institutions were like, oh, what do we do here? All Democrats and Republicans and elections. Like, oh, man, this is existential guy. This is existential. This isn't political. This isn't Tansuit, Spell Potato. This isn't

24:46those days. This isn't oh, Romney, he had a dog on the roof. Oh, Obama said this in the debate. No, this isn't that. This isn't that. This is the survival of our country. That's what this is about when we come back. We're going to talk about what happened in these hearings today. I'll show you what went down during the hearing of cash Patel. I'll show you what went down during the hearing of Besan. We'll talk about this. By the way, have you got your copy of WTF Americans? The book I wrote with my brothers, it comes out October 20. Pre-order it right now. The pre-order momentum is great, but we have to keep on growing. It's not an election book. It's not an election book. It's what I've been saying. How do we get out of this hell generationally? How do we look at things internationally? How do we look at things from core values and principles? Don't look at me. Not the political messenger. I'm not an activist. Don't look at me like that. That's not what if you're looking for that. I'm not that guy. That's not what I'm going to do. Okay. I'm not going to blind you to book for this guy. That's not what I'm not there. That's not what I'm looking to do. Okay.

25:50I'm looking to establish values and principles that we fight for as Americans and as citizens of the world. Let's take our first break of the show. If we can take a break. Life insurance.

It's a science-backed approach for people looking to support their goals without going to the extremes. See, a supplement can only work at the level your body absorbs it.

The absorption company is singularly focused on solving the biggest problem in supplements, low absorption. Most supplements absorb at less than 16%, meaning

The absorption company uses cutting-edge technologies to make supplements with pharmaceutical grade absorption up to 149 times better than standard supplements. Absorption is one of the things that affects all others. No matter how powerful vitamin D, magnesium, COQ-10, or any other supplement could be, it only works if it absorbs.

29:04Welcome back to Ben on Breaking News. Thank you to our sponsors, the help support the show, support our sponsors. I'm just looking at some of these, you know, Trump posts today. I mean, again, and I'm thinking about how you at home may be opening up your fridge and saying, it's empty. Or what do I do? I don't have the ability to go see a doctor right now because the MagiRepublican shut out the critical subsidies, or they've attacked my Medicaid, or they've made it impossible for me to access healthcare while Donald Trump says, I've reduced drug prices by 600% and by 800% or we have a new healthcare plan. We're going to get rid of insurance and give you $2,000. It's always that. We're going to give you money. It's like, stop. No one likes insurance

30:05industry. Okay, we get it. That's why when we talk about single payer, we talk about risk pools and enlarging risk pools so that we understand the basis of insurance is that people who are healthier while they're healthier can help people who are sicker while they are sicker and people who are healthier. Guess what happens occasionally or more than occasionally. They can get sick. And so they can enter a risk pool that they didn't realize they were going to be in. So the idea of a single payer system is you enlarge a risk pool and you can make insurance more affordable. And there's ways that especially we've seen where our government can cover it or make it as cheap as possible, as cheap my view as it should all be free. And I think it could easily be paid for. We spent trillions of dollars on catastrophic wars where we ran out of munitions. We've given tax cuts to billionaires and we've given them deductions to buy sports teams and

31:07private jets and all of this. And I think that rich people should be taxed more. I don't think it's got to be, I mean, like, you know, it doesn't have to be 40% more. We could have discussions on what it is, right? But let's just assume rich, you know, and by rich people, you know, we can have discussions about what defines that to be clear. But you know, people, I think there should be no debate that people who are making tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars to billions of dollars should pay more. We could have intelligent conversations of what that looks like, right? Because they're getting exemptions everywhere. They're getting sports team exemptions. I talked about that in the last episode. You know, they can fully deduct over the 10-year period the value of their sports team while the asset appreciates. Just go and think about that. While they then prohibit Maclamore from saying free Palestine and exercising his free

32:09speech rights while they're able to deduct the value of their sports team and take advantage of appreciation and then take out loans against the value of their teams, which they don't have to pay taxes on. So they could pay a little more taxes. Yes. And they can still have 20 mansions and four or five private planes and yachts. It's not going to change their life. Who needs all of that? So, I mean, truly, who needs all of that? And that doesn't even satiate them. They want to see you suffer. It's them relative to you. And unless you are begging it in pain, then they're not even happy with all the wealth they have. So in any event, we have more than enough money to pay for free healthcare many times. It's easy. I don't even want to say it's not a debate. I'm not even here to debate you on it. It's so obvious. It's so obvious. And what? What do we learn today? That three billion

33:10more dollars is going right now to Netanyahu for five thousand pound bombs to drop on little children in Gaza, to drop on people in Lebanon or families that are celebrating weddings in Iran. That's where we learn more more money, more money going over there enough enough. I'm a 2.8 billion dollar sale of 40,000, 2,000 pound bombs. The largest single sale of conventional explosive ordinances from the US in modern history. This is what we're doing right now. While my fellow Americans can't afford to fill up their car, this is what we're doing right now. As ranchers are going bankrupt, as farmers are going, this is what we're doing. What the hell is this? What the hell is this? That's why the books called W. What the F? What the F is this?

34:11This crazy, this is crazy business. While the Mad King, Ransom Raves online, the board of the Kennedy Center today agreed almost unanimously to close the building for safety reasons and so that it begins the process of reconstruction. The closing will take place immediately. However, the renovation and reconstruction, which is a very large and complex job, cannot begin until such time as the DC circuit rules on the board's approved name. If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be and is not overturned by the Supreme Court, the reconstruction and renovation will not take place for the Kennedy Center. The attorneys from the DOJ will ask for an expedited appeal. In the meantime, $17 million raised by Donald Trump has been put into the Kennedy Center account to keep it afloat. Thank you for your attention to this matter. You need to put your name on the key. You're like a sicko, man. You're like a true fucking sicko. Excuse my

35:12language. It's just you're sick. Like you are a fucking sicko. Again, excuse my language. Again, I don't like the curse, but what the hell is this? The mended shit. What is this? My name has to go wrong. Excuse me that I don't want to have debates with the lunatics that say stupid shit like this. I'm done with them. I really am. If this is the America you want, then have at it. Syria, if this is what you want, that Trump's name is the thing that he's thinking about while he's covering up the Epstein files and while everybody in this country is suffering, that's what you really want. Go fuck yourself. Seriously, seriously. I don't have time for you. I'm not laying. You see these people, these little weasels debating. And I give, by the way, credit to people who want to debate them. Go debate them. Have fun. You know, with it. But what are you going to say to these people? I don't know who won the 2020 election. I don't know. I don't know who won. Joe Biden got sworn in.

36:18Oh, I don't know who I just shut up. I shut up. And these people are causing the destruction of our country. We used to be able to have rational conversations and talk to each other like grownups. And this whole Trump weird magnum mutation of this has prevented adult educated conversations. Let's behave like grownups, please. Thing also, if this was working, you know, you'd be like, whoa, we did bring in $20 trillion, except we didn't. Our debt has increased to over $40 trillion. Our deficit has hit record highs. We didn't bring in the money. It just more lies. If it actually brought down the treasury yields and people could all of a sudden afford homes, I'd be like, I'd be damned. Some crazy shit, but it worked. I, you know, I'm wrong. I gotta have it. Tweeting memes and posting cargaiolin being blown up in AI and sending weird posts about

37:23yourself and George Washington, you know, I don't have a plan on horses together or whatever. Oh, you know what? There's a method to it. But it didn't. That's why I say this isn't a political messaging. How would you massage this? If you tell people this 2.5 points to the, to the Democrat, we talk, these people, they've destroyed our country. It's literally in destroyed right now. And this isn't a talking point. This is literally what we have. This is a shared experience. So that's what I say to you. That's my message. You're either living in this world or you're want to die or you're part of a difficult. I can't. If you've loved this period of time, I'm fantastic. Have that whatever weird world you want. But it's a pretty sick one. It's a pretty freaking sick one, by the way. You know, otherwise what do you post? Everybody knows that Crooked Joe Biden's FBI didn't do what they should have with respect to the lunatic who shot me in Butler.

38:29By the time I got into office on January 20th, most of the information was missing. Altered, corrupted, or gone. It's all gone, everybody. Who would have thought it's gone? New info was just found. Why wasn't it seen long ago? This was a Democrat plot to get me out of the, the Democrats tried to kill me, everybody. They tried to kill me. I swear. We doing here. Why don't you release your medical records? Or was that destroyed too? You could release the Butler Pennsylvania. So we could understand how was it that an AR-15 bullet hit your face and then poof. It disappeared. It just nicked it. We all know when it comes to AR-15 bullets hitting faces, pretty logical explanation that it just slight grays, release your Butler medical records. Trump had to be sued by his own former top legal advisors.

39:33Remember that guy, Tom Fitton? You know the guy, the guy who wears the tightest shirts, Tom Fitton? Remember Tom Fitton? The ridiculous, ridiculous. Tom Fitton was Trump's guy. Tom Fitton from judicial watch in his super tight shirt had to sue Donald Trump to try to get Butler records and Trump redacted the hell out of him. He had to be sued by his own legal advisor and Trump didn't produce it. He's covered it up like the Epstein files and produced your medical records. Please, that's how AR-15 bullets work. They hit you in the face. Cool. That's it. It just like, boom, bounces back. It's like a wild e-coyote, you know, explanation for the Epstein pilot. You saw the story on 60 minutes? He fell from the sky going a hundred miles per hour terminal velocity. Hit the ground, smack, got up, out, out, that hurt. Where do I go? Where do I go? My name

40:44is dude Bravo. That's what they say. Dude Bravo. Where do I go? Where does dude Bravo go? A ledge, a ridge, is it there? Yes, it's in the distance. 5, 10, 15 miles away. That hurt. Ouchy, but I'm going to go there to the ridge. By the way, I'm 51 years old. Not sure if you saw what I looked like. I'm not going to tell you what my name is. I'm 51. Yeah, I'm running. I did hit the ground at terminal velocity, but cool. Okay, there's the ridge. I'm going to climb it. I'm going to climb 7,000 feet. I did it. I did it. I'm up. There they are. They rescued me. Dude Bravo, God rescued. We did it. And then I'm going to do an interview with 60 minutes. And I'm going to look perfectly fine. Come on, just stop the stupid shit. Just stop it. Whatever happened. Just let me know what happened. Where you're trying to go into the Ishtahan nuclear facility and did it not work out? Did the CIA have to do some deal and pay off the local

41:51Iranians to get him back? What are you doing? What really happened? Just let us know. Stop with the cover-ups, like the Epstein files. Just tell us what happened. Just tell us what happened. It is what I don't need to hear. Trump go, you crane agreed to a deal. And they're going to stop shooting the Russian Revineries. And then Zelensky posts, no, we didn't agree to that. We didn't do that. That didn't happen. What we said was if Russia stops attacking our infrastructure, we'll stop attacking their infrastructure. That's what happened. I did a deal. And then you have, do we have the clip of NATO ambassador? He's out there saying, he's saying the reason that diesel is surging right now, the reason diesel is surging. It's because Ukraine striking all of the refineries. That's what's happening right now. Let's play this clip of the NATO, US ambassador to NATO. Let's play it. Certainly, taking capacity out of the global energy

42:53markets, like is what happened as Ukrainian strike. Russia has put pressure on diesel and oil generally. And that war needs to end. And President Trump is absolutely right, that the 30,000 people that are dying every single month or more on the battlefield needs to end. It is really a war that is so you promised that you were going to solve it though. Was the plan, remember what Trump said? I know the perfect words. I know what I'm going to tell Zalinsky. I know what I'm going to tell Putin. That's what he said in 2024 during the election. I can't tell you what these perfect words are. But the words they're so perfect that it'll end the war. So I've got a plan. In fact, I'll end the war in 24 hours after the election. And I'm going to cut electricity prices by half after the election. Gas is going to go down to $2 a gallon. Groceries are going to be affordable. There's going to be no more never ending wars. But I also

43:53assure you, 24 hours, perfect words. Zalinsky and Putin will say, got it, Donald, what words? Those are great words. So I guess we're going to stop this war. And then you saw I did my Jared Kushner impression the other day, which I can do my Kushner impression, but I really don't want to do that. I'm not feeling it right now. Do it and you can watch it. But Kushner is like, so it seems the issue to say at the at a Yalta conference the other day, it seems like what the issue is. If Ukraine agrees to Russia's non-negotiables, then the war ends. But you see, Zalinsky doesn't want to agree to it. And I just see that Putin doesn't want to agree to Zalinsky's terms. And so I think that's we have to be mindful of this as mediators. Really as mediators what you discovered mid-September, 2026 is that the core issue of a war is that one side wants to take over the other side of the other side doesn't want to be taken over. And thus that's the tension in the way that you've uncovered. You've uncovered the essence of what war is. Great war Kushner. It's like, do we

45:00really need dumb and dumber, you know, to be involved in this? It's just it's stupidville. It is stupidville. All the while you have the mega Republicans out there saying things are great, things are amazing. I'll show you what Tom Emmer, mega Republican Congress member, he's in the leadership of the Magas. Here's what he said about affordability. He said affordability. That's such a loaded word. It's like Democrats are using it to cherry pick things are great. This is what Magas closing messages to voters. Things are great. Okay, you're playing this clip. And I'll tell you what, we're not all the way there yet, John. There are challenges in the economy, but here's here's the thing. There's a ton of good news going on. I mean, it's they choose the word affordability in my humble opinion because it's just another word for the economy. The election is always about the economy. In this case, you pick affordability because you can now pluck out the trees that you want to focus on. We're going to focus on gas prices.

46:06I'm probably the best thing that they can focus on why because we don't fill our tank every day, but we do drive by that sign every day, John. So we're reminded regularly. And by the way, it really doesn't help to tell them that. It doesn't help to tell us what things are great. I mean, what do you want to tell us? What do you want to tell us, dude? What are you doing? Like, so what are you doing? Okay, things are grim. And they're getting grim or by the day. That's just the reality. That's not a democratic or Republican or independence or reality that the American people are facing right now. And it didn't have to be this way. It didn't have to be this way. You want to criticize Biden? Go on, go on, criticize them. They lost. He dropped out. Well, Biden dropped out. So under your logic, Trump should jump out, right? Now, I personally believe a lot of Biden's policies created the conditions to get us out of the mess that Trump created as first. I don't have. Truly, you don't have to agree with me. I don't care.

47:10Whether you agree with me or not, whether we want to relitigate the past or not, the reality is, is that Donald Trump said, I would fix these things right away. That was the cell. And not only did he not fix them, but objectively, they're worse. You can buy, well, under Biden, inflation was this. Okay, sure. And in the second year, that's like, that's, where did it end? What do you think caused it in the second year? You think it was just all of a sudden Biden? Or you think maybe it was Trump's disastrous COVID handling of things that led to the issues that naturally follow when you do things horribly. But in any event, Biden's out. Biden lost. Come all lost. You know, that's what happened. Okay. Trump promised he would fix it. He made it worse. That's the objective reality. So under your logic, when you go Biden, Biden, Biden, okay. So under that logic, Trump should drop out. Now, I don't think I'd want JD, but anyone would be better than Trump. So under your logic, great. Biden, Trump, Trump, Biden, so Trump should drop out before the midterms, right? Wouldn't that be the, if you won't, using their logic,

48:14shouldn't that be what happens? Okay, let's do that. Trump drops out. Crazy people. These are really crazy humans. These are dangerous, crazy demonic humans.

This is your breaking news. As I said, at the outset, one of the things we saw today is why we need oversight. Costs when cash Patel or Besent were called to Congress and they were grilled, we got to get some answers now because Republicans control the Senate and the House. The hearings are a bit

52:26rigged in the sense that they severely limit the time that you can question these individuals. You get five minutes or three minutes and so then the witnesses try to fill a buster and they try to do everything. They can delay delay delay delay delay and then the time runs out. And so I just stoop it but you still got some good answers I thought. I mean some good questioning where we got inside and information. So let me show you if I can just a few key and core elements. So first I'll show you when cash Patel, FBI director, he's in the Senate, he's getting grilled by Senateorshift and Patel calls on Chuck Grassley to end the hearing. Let's play this clip. If we've got that one and then I'll show you the next one after that. If we've got it of Patel saying the previous regulation automatically disqualified any individual

53:27who participated in either side of it. That'll be the next one. What about the B.C.D. Allen? Same thing because the regs wrote it up in a fashion before I arrived that addressed prostitution B.C.D. Allen in trafficking. They were there before I got there. They were telling me what it said before. It automatically disqualified any individual who participated on either side of it. Obviously we are never going to hire the criminal. The B.C.D. Allen? Yes. So you disqualified the animal? Well I don't think we have great canines but we're not going to disqualify. I understand. I'm trying to understand why you do. So you used to be disqualified from the FBI if you engaged in B.C.D. Allen. It seems like a fair proposition to be disqualified from the FBI for doing that.

54:28And Patel changed the rule to say, well still hire you. Same thing if you were involved in a lot of other very serious misconduct and horrific conduct and criminal conduct. And so he said if you were the victim, that's not what it said. And what are you talking about here? What the hell are we saying? What do you want? I just I had to show you that to show you it's real. Take a look right here as cash Patel calls on Chuck Grassley to end the hearing here. Let's play it. Mr. Booker tried to get an answer from you. A very simple answer about the reporter who wrote an article about potential misuse of an FBI SWAT team by himself. They have been total lie. And what he asked you so let me repeat it because you didn't answer his question. What do you ask your lies? Mr. Chairman, we're going to have to extend time the more he does this. We don't have to ask my question, Mr. Chairman. Could I ask a bowl of you? You might ask his question then like I said. Mr. Chairman, I've made my decor.

55:33I'm through this entire hearing. His colleagues have called me a thug, a liar, basically attacked my loved ones continuing to jeopardize the safety of me and mine. All the while to advance their political narrative he's doing the same. I would appreciate it if you concluded this hearing because this guy is no interest in oversight. Mr. Chairman, that's been about two minutes of Phil Buster. So reclaiming my time. Here's what I want to do. You asked your question and then when he's done you will have time to respond. Okay, it's time's up. So Mike. I think more of Patel right over here trying to I guess clean up his prior answer that he's very much focused at the FBI on the victims of B. Stiality becoming FBI agents. You're playing this clip. He's no longer protecting those who've been charged with B. Stiality. He's protecting those who are victims. Just turned it upside down. No, you got that. No, because you lied. No, I could just tell you what I'm reading to you as you dropped automatic disqualification for applicants

56:38who have been engaged in B. Stiality. Not victims of B. Stiality applicants who have engaged. Do you disagree with that? Applicants who have engaged in B. Stiality means they were victims of B. Stiality because they were forced to do so. And at this FBI we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving the United States of America and the premier law enforcement agency in the world. They did that before. I eliminated the bureaucracy that prevented these great Americans from serving or at least being considered from serving and I'm going to continue to do that. Turn it upside down. What about Senator Welch's cross-exam? Let's play it. Turn him it. He said, quote, we had a rigged election. As you know, it was totally rigged because I won three times. I didn't win twice. I won three times. And of course the president is saying he won the 2020 election. Do you agree with that? There are many ongoing investigations surrounding that matter so I'm not going to comment on it

57:38and stylize the evidence. So if there's ongoing investigations, as I know there are, that indicates you don't, you do believe the president 2020 was rigged. There are many ongoing investigations and for me as the FBI director to comment on the evidence would basically be in contact. Yeah, that's a lot of you commented in the chat by the way, the victims of beach geology. I can't believe I have to say this. The victims of beach geology are the animals. What are you talking about? Patel, the victims of beach, that there are people who are applying who the animals. I don't even want to say it. I don't even want to say what are you talking? What are you saying? I don't want to say the word. If I say, I don't even want to articulate what you're trying to say. I mean, do you see why I called this book WTA as crazy stuff? But then you move over to the house. That was in the Senate.

58:45You move over to the house. And by the way, he's focused on the victims of beach geology here. Not sure if you heard, but the FBI. We're focused on all the beach geology victims. And that's what we're looking to protect, whereas they cover up the Epstein files. I just want you to think about that. That they're lying about helping victims of, this is what the FBI director said that they are focused on helping the victims of beach geology become FBI agents while they cover up the Epstein files. I'm just showing you what they said. This isn't like a debate. It's just literally what those are the words that he said. If you want to go watch the full thing, watch the full thing, but I think I gave the clip the full context that it doesn't deserve, frankly. But then I go to the house where you had Treasury Secretary Besan. He was cross-examined by Democratic Congress member Himes. Let's play this clip. Spend one minute on your intervention. About a week and a half ago, you spent some $10 billion

59:47plus or minus to try to lower the yield on the 10-year bond. This price is American mortgages. When you started the 10-year bond, was it 4.8 percent? Today, it's at a 20-year high of 5.04 percent. 20-basis point rise. Was your intervention successful? And will there be more? Yes, it was. And the 10-year went up by 20 basis points. How can you say it was successful? Well, there is the counterfactual of what would it have done. We've then proceeded to have the two most successful Treasury auctions that we've had in 20 years. The U.S. bond market continues. During past month, since President Trump has come in, it has been the best performing bond market in the developed world. What? No, no, no, no. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? The 10-year yield is over 5 percent. The 30-year yield is 5.5 percent.

1:00:48Mortgage rates are 7.17 percent. Our bond market is blown up. And you did this buyback scheme weeks ago and you made it worse. It was at this level, right? The 10-year was like 4.8. And now it's over 5. You don't want to go up. When the Treasury yields go up, that means the government has to pay more interest to service the debt. You don't want it to go up. And you're like, our recent Treasury bond sale did better. Well, if you offer people a return of 5.5 percent to entice them, they may go, that's a good return. But you know who has to pay that, Bessent? The taxpayers. Why don't you try to sell those same bonds at a yield of 3 percent? See how hot it is or 4 percent? See how hot? Oh, you know why it's 5 percent? Because

1:01:51that's what institutions and countries are buying it at because they know that you're desperate and your schemes don't. That's the way the bond market works. Yeah, I guess what? If you offered people 7 percent, 8 percent or 10 percent, they'll probably buy it too. But you want to bring it down more on. You want to bring it down because we the taxpayers have to service the damn debt. Idiot. Stupid. Just like dumb people. It's like basics. This is the Treasury Secretary. No wonder when he was on his own. He was a loser. And he had 90 percent redemptions from his funds. The guys in idiot. Let's take a look at Congresswoman Presley here playing this clip. Frank, that's your own thin ice with me because you sat here in the midst of the tariffs conversation. And I asked for you to be a partner in pushing for an exemption of baby products. And you told me that I had a partner in you in that in that advocacy. And nothing came of that. So twice you've come before this committee made a commitment under oath. And you've not followed up. I would say

1:02:57watch this space after a president she's visit. So okay, I don't know what that means. But people are struggling. You've made commitment. You haven't kept any of them. And it's outrageous. Moving on. I have a lot of ground to cover and I get up too much of my time. Secretary Besson, when Donald Trump is reclaiming my time, when Donald Trump launched the unnecessary and unconstitutional war with Iran, how long did he say that would last? I don't recall. A jogger memory four to five weeks. It's been six months. So he lied. And we're all paying the cost. Since the war started, gas prices are up 52%. Yes or no, are you aware of that? Gas prices are up 52%. Since the war started, are you aware of this issue? Yes or no? From what to what? I think that's not a good number. Okay, I'm going to take that as a yes. You're playing like you don't know, but you know. Okay, Secretary Besson. Working people, reclaiming my time, Secretary Besson, working people are paying more for utilities now than they

1:03:59were five years ago. More than 20% more. Are you aware of that? I am aware of that. Okay, moving on. Secretary Besson, people are also paying over three times more on health insurance. Have you heard about this issue? Yes or no? I am aware that Obama is an alien. Yes or no? Are you aware? You can ask me like that. Stop filibustering. Stop acting like you don't know what the facts are moving on. That's right. Secretary Besson. Watch this space after she visits. Watch the space. What the fuck does that mean? Excuse me? Watch the space after she... Sorry, I kept on cursing this episode. I'm just... What did they even watch the space about the cost of health after she visits? Why would the ruler of China's visit to the United States affect this space? What are these words? Pay attention to this space. After she visits, you understand? No, you're just a bunch of con artists. That's what I understand. Your frauds. She's going to do a deal

1:05:05with Donald Trump. Watch this space by the way. It's an important space. You know what she's doing right now? She controls the oil market. It's no longer OPEC. It's she. You know why? Because he had a plan and China had a plan. Depending on how much oil they import, they move the oil market way more than OPEC does. They bought a cheap. They have a reserve in 2025. They have reserves of over 1.5 billion barrels. They did an import. Now they're importing. They can change the price of that market pretty damn quickly. You know what else they control? The rare earths. They control rare earths. So if I want to watch the space, the space that I could watch is how back last year when you threaten China, China threatened to withhold rare earths and then immediately you talk out. And then the rest of the world said, God, understand. They're cowards. And this is all one big

1:06:07gain to them. They don't have the carts. That's what happened. But now you want to pick on Venezuela because you're bullies. This is what bullies do. They pick on Epstein survivors and victims. They pick on the trans community and international. They pick on Venezuela. They pick on Cuba. Right? It's related, right? You think about how they punch down. In Cuba is like, we think we're going to invade you. What are you talking about? Why would we do that? We're not idiots. You know, so they pick on when they pick on Iran, they thought Iran would tap out Iran, didn't Iran fought back. And Iran wasn't even a regional power of it. Okay? So Trump got out of the JCPOA. Iran did this war with that. And then the US ran out of weapons and lost the war. And now the US brags about punching down. It's Epstein class shit. You get what I'm saying here?

1:07:09Right? What are they brag about now? We struck another commercial vessel heading into Iran. You want me to applaud you that the United States Navy shot a freaking cargo ship? Of course, the United States Navy can do war crimes if it wants to and drop big bombs on cargo ships in Iran that bring food and medicine and supplies to Iranians. I mean, I don't think we should be involved in the catastrophic war at all. But if you're going to talk about targeting, you wouldn't you want to talk about we did a military target. No, Sen Combs like, let me be very clear, we shouldn't be in this catastrophic war at all period. I don't you know, misconstrued my words even a centilla. But I just am making the point that they're bragging about striking fishing boats in Iranian tankers and bragging about being pirates, the proud United States Navy brags. We stopped 100 commercial ships. Okay, that was going to bring food. Why are you bragging about that? There's not even military ships like that's that's war crimes you're bragging about. Okay.

1:08:09They brag about shooting the boats off the coast of Venezuela because they're losers. This is how losers behave. So it's go after Venezuela. We lost in Iran. Let's go after Cuba. Let's pick on somebody much smaller and then treat this as let's go into Colombia and Ecuador. Let's go into El Salvador. Let's flex and you saw a canonist like no way. You saw what happened when they tried to pick on a large economy. Look Canada going elbows up. So so these predators who cover up Epstein files whose names appear in the files. Right. What do they do? They in international they'd pick on Venezuela. Okay. And and then they pillage. Venezuela in resources and they don't even do a good job at it. And they'll they lie about what's 65 billion dollar deal 500 years we're going to take Venezuela and okay. I debunk that lie a hundred times. I don't need to do it again. But I want

1:09:11to show you this moment when Treasury Secretary Bessent is asked by Congressmember Castan. So where's the Venezuela and money? So Trump says there's 13 let me be clear because we need we facts are important right. Last year this year same amount of oil the US has only has not enhanced the oil production in Venezuela. Okay. And you know because I've done multiple fact checks the Venezuelan oil sour viscous dense sticky doesn't go into our salt caverns the barrels that exist in the future are hard to refine decades away billions of dollars of investment. We wouldn't need our defense department to create a communist authoritarian structure oil company to do deals with Venezuela if our private industry thought they were great investments to be made in Venezuela. They think that so the reality is is that that's why Trump created an oil company with Higgsip

1:10:13that's in the defense department which is an unlawful and then talks about barrels of oil that aren't going to happen ever. So you know it's like at any event there has been some previous oil that would have gone to Venezuela that the US stole and took so where's the money? Right fair question Donald Trump's out there bragging we've paid for the war many times over. We've got the money so the question is a basic one to Bessent. Where's the money? Where is it? Have you seen the money? So watch what takes place in this in this space as well. Let's let's let's look at the space before she visits. We'll look at the space. We'll get this any guy who has stupid people. You're playing. Look at the space. You're playing. What is the total amount of money associated with the sale of Venezuelan assets that's flowed through Treasury accounts or accounts managed by Treasury since January? That just a minute.

1:11:22We are not giving out the total amount of disbursements. I'm asking for the total amount of money. The President Trump said in July that it was more than 13 billion. Would you agree that it was more than 13 billion in July? Again I'm not going to give out that amount. Okay has Treasury hired an independent auditor to review those flows? That KPMG. All disbursements are subject to KPMG. Yes and will their audit review the flows through the Cotari managed account that was initially set up? Will their audit review the Cotari flows? KPMG is reviewing everything since they have been hired. Will that include the Cotari flows? Secretary Rubio said it would. I'm just asking you to confirm what Secretary Rubio said. I agree with Secretary Rubio because State is going to be ready. Have you personally reviewed any of their audits? There have been a lot of it's published yet. So have you reviewed their work products? What's that? Have you reviewed any of their work? My staff reviews them every day. Okay Art do you know are any of the cash flows that are flowing flowing to the US

1:12:23government? US persons or US corporations? I have no knowledge of that. Okay because President Trump said on July 27th we've paid for that war many times over. We're taking in a lot of money billions and billions of dollars from Venezuela. Who is the weed that he is referring to? Well I think President Trump may have been referring to the oil deal that the Department of Wars down within his oil. But he seemed to imply that we the United States people are taking in money to offset those costs. That would suggest flows to US persons. Again that this is the one of the largest assets that maybe ever to go on that the US balance sheet Congress. Okay are the accounts that the Treasury is managing tied only to the sale of oils or are you also taking control of other Venezuelan assets? It is many Venezuelan assets. So you've asserted control over Venezuelan assets. I know Interior recently said they're taking control of Venezuelan gold sales. So we're also taking control of those assets in the dispersions. Yeah. You can't testify as we sit here whether or

1:13:27not those are flowing to US persons. No. Can you identify where or what US bank those funds are being held? So to recap the auditor didn't do an audit. We're stealing Venezuelan oil and gold. We don't know where it is. There's no audit. He opens up his book. We're not allowed to actually tell you where the disperse pens are. Why not? It's our money. Fuck you talking about bro. It's our money. The hell are you talking about? It belongs to us. It's not your money. It's not Trump's money. It's not you know who's money it is. It's Venezuelan people. It's their gold. It's their I want to see it because you're purporting to steal their gold and money in our name. But what's this? Are you taking their gold and giving it to Donald Trump? That seems like what

1:14:31they're saying they're doing. Okay. And that's what seemed to have been implied in that entire questioning that there's gold. Gold nuggets, gold bars, gold being taken and hidden somewhere with oil, money and that there's an audit. Great. There's an auditor. Like they use words that like make us think that they sounds okay. There's an audit. Have you seen it? Well, there hasn't been an audit done yet. Why not? Why hasn't there not been an audit yet? Okay. I would expect due diligence to happen right away. I don't know maybe before you showed up to a congressional hearing idiot. Maybe that's when it would take place. Are you going to wait for the space until after she shows up? Are going to wait for the space until she's ping. Are you going to ask Daddy Xi if you can enter this space with auditors? Does he need to give you permission? Freaking losers, man, they're all losers. It's not our, these are loser humans. These are loser humans. What the hell was that? I could

1:15:39show you a lot of other questions, but that line of questioning alone should make you in rape. You know, we don't know. I'm not going to tell you the amount. It's in a bank account. I'm not going to share with the bank account. We're stealing their other assets. We're doing, we're stealing their other way. Wait, wait, wait, why? Why? Why? Why? We don't know. No American wakes up and goes, give me that Venezuela and gold. I want to pillage it except predators. The same type of people covering up the freaking Epstein files, right? Remember when Donald Trump was in our own? We may just take all of Iran's oil. Just like Venezuela, we may never leave. Yeah, that's what a predator says. That's what a sex predator says. That's what a predator says. The hell are you talking about? The hell are you talking about? And do you realize if you're the Netherlands, why do you think they pulled their gold from the United States? They literally pulled their gold. Billions of dollars were. Why? You think they want to keep their gold here with that predator?

1:16:42Why do you think country after country selling their treasury bonds? You think they want these people who I just shared with you to be responsible for their money? Do you want to give these people your money? Right? I mean, you think about it. It's like these people have control of your money, my money that we put in banks. These people who I just showed you, these are smart. These are dumb dumb. These are idiots. These are, these are horrible people. And then the coup d'et-grave all a bit this week. They announced the following. All right, what are we going to do? People are suffering, we're struggling. What are you going to do? Breaking news. The EPA is eliminating a rule that limits planet warming pollution from coal and gas fired power plants. Got it. So you're just going to, you're just going to kill us earlier. Understood. I guess that's the plan that we all, we all just live to die right away in your dystopian, hellish nightmare because you're all miserable

1:17:47people. The environmental protection agencies said Monday, it's repealing rules that limit planet warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas and announced that it's taking separate but related steps to prevent future administrations from regulating climate pollution from power plants. So not only do you want to inject the cancer right into our veins, you want to prevent us from ever trying to rehabilitate after you do so. Really? Really, then goes environmental groups, this is how it's being reported by the AP, environmental groups decried, they decried the change. How but not environmental groups. How about it's like the fish decried that they took out the water. I decry, I'm going to decry when you kill me, I'm going to decry that fact. The environmental group, you see how they have to report it though, the environmental

1:18:50group they decried. It's not sure to be the environmental group, we have to go outside and breathe air. This isn't some like woke freaking lecture on whatever like I said, well, oxygen, I know we don't want freaking dying. And with everything that's going on, that's the rule you push, we're going to revoke the Biden-era power plant rule. Why? And it's going to unleash, it's going to unleash, you're going to unleash cancer, you're going to unleash toxins, you're going to unleash, there's a re, we, this is why I go back to this. And I know we've done a long episode. So it's been fun though, I'm not fun, it's been therapeutic is the right word. Definitely not fun, therapeutic. I enjoy spending time with you, even if we're talking about stuff that makes me very angry. So that's probably a better way to, to say, I'm not trying to message you, I'm not

1:19:55going to message you, I'm not going to tell you, and that's why you need to do this or that. If you don't at this point, feel a certain way of what we've all gone through, then I can't help you. You know, you, we all, this isn't, you know, this, sometimes it feels like we're living in a simulation, frankly, as a result of just how deranged life is right now under this dystopian Trump regime. Sometimes it's truly, but, but, but as far as I know, as far as I know, we're not. And I, I want us to live happier, healthier lives, and I want people to enjoy the short time they have on this earth. That's how I approach all of this. That's why I did this network. It's why I've, I've had the privilege, and I've had the fortune to be privileged and fortunate in my life. And I'm 41 years old, and I've been able to professionally and personally

1:21:01accomplish life things that others maybe don't have. And I feel that it's my duty and obligation at this stage to do anything in my power, everything in my power, to help from here in the United States to making sure the people in Gaza hear what I'm saying, to making sure the people in Lebanon know what I'm saying, to making sure the people in Minab who lost family members who were slaughtered in elementary schools and were married who were murdered in, in sports halls. I want that, I want anybody who just wants to live decent lives with each other in peace and in harmony, to know that just every day this is what I think about. And, you know, maybe I'm not the best messenger, maybe I make mistakes, maybe I'm a little bit all over the place sometimes, and sometimes I get

1:22:06super excited about a topic and I just say a bunch of shit and I'm just like, I don't know, okay, you know, maybe you follow, maybe you don't, I don't know sometimes. But I hope you know that every day this network has been built not on messaging you politics. There are other people who do that, they do it better than me. So I'm not trying to message you, I'm really not trying to, I'm not trying to convince you, I'm perfectly okay if you disagree with me on a lot of issues, and I'm sure you hear me and you do disagree, that's fine, I'm not trying to change your mind or have you, I want you to have a data set of the best information out there in terms of accurate data. And I will share my opinion from time to time, but I don't feel like I've been politically this day because I think that distorts. You have to be empowered, you are empowered,

1:23:12but I certainly understand that there are big forces vested interests that are trying to rip away your agency every damn day and trying to make you feel like what's the point of all of this. And so the purpose of this network is to make you know and connect you to a bigger community, where we all could stand shoulder to shoulder together from the streets of Pennsylvania to the farms of Iowa, right, to the streets in Lebanon, across the world in the Middle East, in Asia, in Europe, in South America, in the Caribbean, you know, I, in Africa, in all the countries in Africa, all the countries in South America, in Canada, elbows up,

1:24:17in Canada of course. I want us all to be connected in our empathy and our love and our joy and just trying to leave this a better place. And if that's what the Midas touch network did, that's what I want, that's what I want this to be every damn day. So that's what we're doing to Denmark. I saw your comment to Denmark, to all of Europe, to all around, to Nordic states, to everywhere, everywhere, okay. And it didn't mean to leave anybody out. WTF America, check it out, pre-order it right now, spent a lot of time together with each other. We're grateful for you. It really are. So have a good day. Keep checking in for more updated videos. I'll keep doing updated. I did one on Bessent. I showed all the clips of Bessent. Go check that one after this ends. All right, love you guys. Love you all. Thank you so much. Shout out, Midas, mate.
