We've got a lot to go over on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. The collapse of the Trump regime continues to accelerate. Seeing Donald Trump throw tantrum after tantrum is a site to behold. We'll go over what went down today. I mean, just from the very early morning hours into the evening, it's post, post, post, post, post, post. It's like everything the American people rebuked and rejected. He's just like doubling and tripling down on which that's what you want to do. Go for it. I mean, there's now a co-equal branch of government that's about to take power. So, okay, we will. We'll see how that goes. A big win for Democrats in Mississippi. Scott Cologne did what no one thought was possible except people in Mississippi and Scott Cologne. Congratulations. Democratic Senator Alex Scott Cologne. We'll talk about that. It was great to have him on. He's first interview was with the Midas Touch Network back in September, 2025. You've got Trump sending dumb and dumber. Whitcoff and Kushner were in Moscow with Putin giving Putin a big propaganda win over there. And then they headed to Ireland where there was a European Union council meeting right now when they were there standing next to Zelensky. And you can see how like just infuriated Zelensky looked at them as well. We'll talk about more tankers being struck by Iran and the straight of or moose. A lot to discuss. So, we'll just get into it right away. Brent and Jordy, it's good to see. It's good to see you guys. It's good to see you too. How about Mississippi, everybody? Mississippi. I said, they were counted. One Mississippi, two Mississippi. One from Red Mississippi to Blue Mississippi. What a win for Scott Cologne, everybody. I mean, this was really a historic, historic election in the blue wave rolls on. We still got Alaska. That should be coming in. And we're looking at 56 seats for the Democrats, something I think nobody thought was possible heading towards 260 seats in the House of Representatives. I got to say, Ben, watching you on your live shows over the past week. Got a new pep in your step. I'm going to say, you got it. You got an energy about you. And I think the audience, I think the audience could feel that. What do you think? I agree there, Brad. I totally agree. Are you done? Is my turn? Okay, wonderful. I thought you were going to do the whole sequence in like a rhyming scheme. But I like the one Mississippi, two Mississippi, Red Mississippi, Blue Mississippi. I didn't prepare for that. Yeah. Well, you should have. Customs should have. I should. Yeah. Hey, I'm really excited for today's show. I think the vibes just keep on vibing, right? I think the momentum is palpable at this point. And it's up to now the leaders who have been elected to lead, right? There's going to be a lot of opposing forces against them. Obviously, Donald Trump and Mr. Vito himself will see how they sort of combat that era that we're about to approach on. But I have confidence. I have confidence. I'm glad that we now officially could say that we have a majority of leaders in this country who are actually going to put their best foot forward to work on behalf of the American people and not exactly just lying their pockets. So, hey, I'm excited. Like I said, like I'm not a very political person as funny as that might sound. Like I'm not a Democrat because I like the color blue. I just think I think this group of people here that have now been elected are actually going to get shit done as the governor and the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania likes to say GSD. We've elected some GSD officials. So we'll see what happens. Benji, where we start off today, Big Brother. Look, the American people want to see leaders who get things done, who behave like grownups, who demonstrate empathy and respect, right? A bare minimum adult behavior, who can be decisive, who make tough decisions, who communicate well with the American people, who try to bring people together and not divide. That's what this election showed in many ways. It was the least political political election, which is why I think you see such a historic result across the country. And yes, the country looks very, very blue right now. But it's just the American people saying that this regime doesn't represent our values and principles. And that we want to give the Democrats who actually campaign very well. Some great candidates in the Senate and the House in local races who really addressed the issues that the communities were talking about. Listen, hell town halls. And I think that's what this election is about. And Donald Trump hasn't learned a single lesson. Donald Trump's Donald Trump, right? I mean, the guy has always been a fraud and bankrupt, a resexual predator, a coward, you name it. I mean, he's a horrible, horrible person. And so, you know, there was a day or two where he looked defeated and deflated. Then he went back to election denialism and it's rigged, it's rigged, it's unfair. Nobody believes it. And then he's just back to like the blame. It's the Democrats are responsible for the reasons why I can't balance a budget. It's the Democrats fault that there's now a caravan. He's doing the caravans again. There's a caravan. Not the caravan. Caravan. Caravan. Like to see her after the election. We're about to be in beta. I mean, dude, you're the president. No, that's a prize there. There's a caravan coming while he's in office. Like it didn't even make before the election. And you're not supposed to be president when the caravan comes. I don't sure you're getting this all mixed up there, Donnie. Yeah, because that's how he wants to attack the new governor of Texas. He's like, so now they're coming because they perceive that they can get in and you're still the commander in chief sadly. So it's kind of an indictment on yourself. But he's doing that and, you know, all of the problems right now are from the Democrats. It's just excuse after excuse. And by the way, this is what he's going to be for the next two years, right? It'll just be excuse, excuse, excuse, then when they'll be a Democratic trifecta, which I think will take place. He'll have a Democratic president. And the Democratic president has to make the tough decisions and extricate us from this catastrophic war in Iran and deal with the fallout from the fact that, you know, the war in Ukraine is escalating. The inflation may be as high as 7% by the time maybe even more by the time there's a Democrat in office that keeps going in this way while the Trump regime doesn't even publish the year over year numbers. Then you're going to have Trump and Maga. They're going to pretend to be China hawks and fiscal hawks and deficit hawks and, and now you did this, you did this. You did it. So that's why I say right now, November 12th, 2026, we have to fortify our minds and be aware of what their plan is going to be November 12th, 2029. Okay. We have a 2028. What their plan is going to be in 20 January, 2029. What their plan is going to be 2030. We have to think like that because that's what they're gearing up to. And we can't have this kind of seesaw and go back to this authoritarianism where the arsonists claim that they're going to fix it by blaming the people who are trying to fix it for the problems that the arsonists created while they take advantage of the kind of algorithmic manipulation, the social media chaos, how busy and complex people's lives are in modernity. That's what they're looking for, Brad, right? 100% and that's why it's important as we say in our book WTF America that we're always combating the firehose of lies with a firehose of truth. And so when we see him start to make these ridiculous claims as insane as they seem, like that, all of a sudden the Democrats are now responsible that he ran up the debt and the deficit to record numbers. Like what the hell are you talking about, dude? You're going to blame states and cities run by Democrats for your budget. That doesn't even make sense. You're going to try the caravan scheme post election. What the hell are you even talking about, dude? He's going to keep flooding the zone with lies. And as we know from Donald Trump's history, I think you could call him, we could have a nickname for Donald Trump double down Donald because all he does is double down on his stupidity. We saw it even in one of the biggest crises ever to face the United States of America when we had a global pandemic hit with COVID-19. Did Donald Trump ever reverse course and say, oh, I'm going to listen to the scientists and we're going to get out of this because we're going to do this right. I misjudged it at first and I downplayed it at first. But now I'm going to take this seriously. No, he doubled down. He kept lying. He kept blaming other people. And that's the thing that Trump does also, right? Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame. There's this problem. There's that problem. I created these 10 other problems. Whose fault is it? It can't be my fault. Whose responsibility is it? Does the buck stop with me, the president? No, it's Chuck Schumer's fault. It's the Abdul Al-Sahed's fault. It's Fauci's fault. He's going to constantly be finding a bad guy to try to pawn everything off of. And as he kind of psychologically gets against the wall, he's going to be more and more dangerous. And he's going to really have these spirals that we saw today. And it's why he's bringing up in his twin, his post earlier today that he wants to prosecute the Democrats who told the soldiers to make sure that they are always following the law. He wants to prosecute people like Senator Markelli and others. He's going back to all this stuff because he's doubled down, Donald. He can't control [BLANK_AUDIO] He's doing exactly what the American people rebuked, repudiated, rejected in the 2026 election and he's free to do that if he wants. I honestly welcome it. If he thinks it makes him look strong, I think it makes him look weak, I think it makes him look pathetic, I think it makes it look cowardly and I think it makes him look so small and the American people are all watching it right now and I bet they're like, yeah, we made a freaking good decision. Bye bye, good riddance Donald. We don't need you. See you later. Keep ranting into the ether. Be my guest. The double down Donald Monica is excellent, right? It's also horrifying considering he's bankrupted casinos, right? Usually you double down at a casino. You're hoping maybe you hit big double down Donald has always found a way to always lose his double downs as you so perfectly put in and explain there, you know, with COVID like a magic, like a miracle just disappear. Just what are you doing? And then when the science comes out and the more information comes out, what does he do? He doubles down. And then what does he do? He blames Fauci. What? It's so reminiscent of Trump 2.0 of how he's starting to blame Jerome Powell for inflation and all of that and rather than acknowledge that there's a problem in this country, what does Donald Trump do even further? Once again, he doubles down. He doesn't address the root cause of the issue or make any headway. What does he do? He tells you to put your head in the sand and just say how great it is living in the golden age as he parties it up with the 0.001% of Mar-a-Lago. Yeah, they're all having a great time. Therefore, one case will look awesome. Their investments look great. They're getting some great information on how could they be getting all of this wonderful information about their stocks and where to put their money? I don't know. What is it? It is so bizarre seeing this all play out and just understanding the fact that Donald Trump also learned absolutely nothing from the shellacking, that MAGA, that himself, that the entire Republican Party just took during these midterms. What does he do again, Brett? He doubles down. Let me start off with the crazy post. Let me say I'm going to investigate the Democrats. Let me say, uh, blah, blah, it is unbelievable. But what are they always say, folks? Never interrupt your opponent as they're making a mistake. So Donald, please proceed. Because once again, you're putting on display exactly why the American people voted the way they did last weekend. We're just keep marching forward, Benji. You know, the only thing is he's causing so much harm, pain, suffering, destruction though here in the United States and abroad. I mean, I think about the family members of our brave sailors and Marines who are aboard these US aircraft carriers. And this now did a good story about the family members who met in Norfolk, Virginia, who had family who had service members in their family, sailors and Marines aboard the USS George HW Bush. And they were just told that their loved ones who are on the aircraft carrier and that strike group, which also includes other ships that surround it about 7,000 to about 8,000 of our service members. They're going to be there indefinitely. They're not coming home in the holidays. They left March 31st. They did one port stop October 4th or 5th. And they've just been there and like the family members are like, well, what are they even doing there? What's the goals? What's the objectives? What are we trying to do? Oh, we're trying to force Iran to negotiate. And the family members like, that's not going to happen. Trump's just making up fake deals and fake terms. And he doesn't know what he's doing. Like we need to find goals. And so what's what are we trying to do here? And then like the acting secretary of the Navy, hung cow is his name, he would say, well, look, they've been at war with us. We didn't start this war. And the family members of our sailors and Marines like, don't start that shit with us. Just stop it. This isn't like one of the stupid Trump rallies. Okay. We know that Trump and Netanyah who launched this war, you know, our loved one shouldn't be there. What do you have them doing? And then like, hung cow, the Navy says like, but they helped out 3,000 tankers leave the Strait of Hormuz like they do that. You know, and the family members are like, that's not the job of the Navy. The Navy's war fighters. They're not there to help direct half the amount of oil getting out of the Strait of Hormuz. Then before the catastrophic war started, that's not what the Navy's built to do. So just stop giving us that B.S. We're learning more about how aboard the USS George H.W. Bush, there's been additional suicide attempts taking place to morale is at an old time low. And again, we previously reported here about other ships, right? The Gerald Ford, the Abraham Lincoln same things. Now these other two ships have been out way longer than they should be out there. And so you're now seeing the same problems, you know, over there, while Donald Trump's just so cavalierly like, all right, we're going to maybe I go back to war. We're winning the war. The Iranian regime's collapsing and it's like they're not like, why are you like, why are you saying this? And Jordy, you know, you mentioned Jerome Powell. That was during Trump's first year when the terrorist backfire, it was all Jerome Powell's fault, right? Jerome Powell, Jerome Powell is an interest rate dove, meaning he's someone who was inclined to cut interest rates. Then Donald Trump brought in the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Worsh, who's had to increase the interest rates already once. And it's almost guaranteed there will be at least one more interest rate hike because inflation is through the roof. We'll probably have at least two or three maybe more interest rate hikes. The issue is not if it will happen as a 25 basis points, is it 50 basis points? By the end of this year, we're going to see 100 basis points. What's going to happen over there? It's definitely going to be an increase. So then Trump blames it on Democrats. It's the Democrat board. It's not the guy I appointed, Kevin Worsh. It's your tariffs against the world. It's your catastrophic war. That's what's causing it. And while all of this is taking place, you talk about the stock trading, Jordy, that Trump and his oligarchs are doing. I mean, look, when we talk about Nvidia and Jensen Wang, the former CEO of Nvidia who had to resign after being entangled and tangled, I mean, having sex with a Chinese spy and having an affair and his wife. And then it's like the Tiger Woods day, like every day, there's like a new woman. There's like more people he's having affairs with. And then there's a bigger issue about all of these Nvidia chips that seem to perhaps be reflected on the books as going to Singapore and Malaysia, but we're really being diverted to China to the tune of billions and billions of dollars and all material misrepresentations that were made to the American people. And is this a broader issue in the semiconductor industry that all of our kind of top secret and high-powered semiconductors, these GPUs were going to China? Donald Trump really screwed up what Biden did with the chips act. Biden's chips act had very strict export controls, preventing exactly what was happening here. It had a very kind of carrot and stick approach incentivizing chip companies to grow, but to grow steadily so you could have sustainable growth, not just like a big burst and then have the bubble burst, which is what Trump tried to basically encourage. And then Donald Trump, like the Communist authoritarian that he is, he perverted the chip acts incentives and the goals and benchmarks into Trump's seizing control of the companies, like the Communist authoritarian and taking US interest in the companies and doing deals where, oh, Jensen Wang, I see you're making a lot of money by sending our chips to China. We want a cut of that. The US will get 20%. Oh, Intel, we want a cut of this. This company, a cut of this, this company, a cut of this and Trump was trading, in my view, on his inside information. He was definitely trading. Was he trading on his head? He knew all of this and he was happy to be making the trades. Well, all of this was taking place. I mean, I could show you. He's literally trading 50,000 times, like 50,000 trades, like in a year, like a crazy number. And then when it comes to Nvidia, well, well, well, look at when he traded Nvidia stock August of this past summer when Donald Trump knew that Jensen Wang was involved in this. And at some point, this stock was going to tank. Donald Trump sold his Nvidia stock millions of dollars worth of Nvidia stock. Now Nvidia stock isn't a lot of people's 401Ks. It's in a lot of people's portfolio. So since August, Nvidia's gone down 29%. Donald Trump got out at one of the high points who are Nvidia and other people who carried Nvidia stock, by the way, including kids in those Trump accounts, you know, that he talks about. This was all part of his big scam with the Trump accounts too. People lost 29% on their Nvidia stock while Trump got out because Trump knew what was going to happen. And Lutnik was covering it up as well. You have even MAGA Republican senators calling for investigations into Lutnik right now for majority. Yeah, the Lutnik thing I would watch that and Lutnik, you know, he's this guy who in every kind of controversy from the Trump regime from Epstein to this has been at the center of it. And the fact that this guy is still in this position, I mean, we could say this about everybody in the Trump regime, right? They're all incompetent. They're all corrupt. But Lutnik in particular has been at the center, at the epicenter of all of these scandals, the fact that he is still around. And I've actually noticed some interesting comments, even from Senator John Kennedy, Republican, earlier today, saying something about him in terms of that, you know, it doesn't look too good of what his involvement was in this Nvidia thing in allowing these chips to be sold to China. And now Democrats are launching an investigation into this. Our Scott McFarland might have such network reports that congressional Democrats are launching a probe of the Trump administration's handling of Nvidia, alleging that the administration sought to take a cut of Nvidia chip sales to Chinese companies, quote, "despite reportedly learning of Mr. Huang's comprising relationship, compromising relationship last fall, Trump granted Nvidia permission to sell its AI." Ron Wyden, the senator, says that Trump and Lutnik allegedly new former Nvidia CEO, Jensen Hwang, had a relationship with a Chinese by a rep Richard Neil and I are investigating why they bent over backwards to help in video, sell advance chips to shady Chinese companies. We need answers now. And so you see the investigative process starting to work. And the more I kind of watch this play out, the more I wonder, and I'm not defending Jensen Wayne here by any means, but I wonder if he is a bit of a fall guy for a deeper scheme involving Donald Trump, Howard Lutnik, Marco Rubio, and the entire Trump regime, where they were using this affair almost as a black male scheme. This is my, you know, my theory that I just want to many in my head to in order to make sure that this money continues to flow, that this Nvidia issue does not blow up, does not crash the stock market so that Trump could keep getting a cut from the chip sales to China. And so Trump knowing about this, not saying anything, selling his stock, but continuing to prop up Jensen Huang and invite him to China and continue to sell these chips the way that they did. It raises a lot of questions for me, and it seems like a much deeper scandal. And as I said in the last episode, you shouldn't view this as some sort of, you know, sex scandal or which it is, right, or some sort of improper relationship between a guy, an executive and his employees or our management, but this is actually a much deeper geopolitical issue. That's at play here that really exposes the entire kind of security landscape of the United States to a lot of issues. And I feel like very much so that Trump, Lutnik, Rubio and these people were at the center of it. And it all comes down to me like Trump surround himself by the work with the worst people. Like his cabinet is just truly made up of the worst people. Maybe, maybe you can make an argument that Trump 1.0 with that cabinet that there were some serious people in there, potentially I'll have that conversation with you. Trump 2.0 this time around, these like the Lutniks of the world, his entire make up of this cabinet, all they want to do is glaze Donald Trump and appease him so they could start lining their pockets in my opinion. And I think we've seen that continue to play out like these people are gross. They're gross because they don't care about this country. Like they don't care about what their roles are actually are or how they're supposed to use their position of power to help the American people in my opinion. What they're trying to do is just figure out how best to use their positions of power to enrich themselves, enrich their families. And that's straight up disgusting. I hate that. That should be nowhere near government. But it is all over Trump 2.0 and Trump regime in general. And for me, the American people again last week, they've made up their minds. They're sick of this. Like absolutely sick of this. And when you see folks in the Republican Party now starting to, you know, maybe get some courage, maybe get a little bit of backbone, the writing is on the wall. Maga is a dying movement. This Trump regime right now where they're taking this country, people have had enough of it. Running it straight into the ground, running it like one of Donald Trump's failed casinos, his failed state business, his failed airlines. It's absolutely disgusting where Donald Trump, his cabinet, his entire regime is taking the direction of this country. And people have had enough. Most of Trump's cabinet members are now living in bunkers, you know, that Jordy and Breton might as mighty. You mean they're not living, then they're not living in their Malibu Barbie dream houses anymore. They're somewhere else at the moment. No, they're scared that Iran is going to kill them because that's when Netanyahu is telling them. And so after Treasury Secretary Besant who lived in a Malibu dream house, Pink and Charleston, South Carolina, we may have sold that one. We're not making that up. Google it. We've showed it on the show multiple times. He lived in a Malibu Barbie dream. It's like a replica, right? I mean, he lived in it's like pink and it's gaudy and you know, it's whatever. But anyway, he said Iran, he's like, and he acts like he's like a farmer, right? He does like these like weird stories where he like pretends that he's a farmer because he has like private equity investments. Like, you know, back in the farm, when we would see a snake, we would chop the head off of the snake. And that's what we're going to do with Iran operation economic outcast operation, iron fist operation, iron gate operation. This we're coming for you. We're going to starve. You know, they would say things like this. And then it's like, they're living in a bunker, right? You have Rubio lives in a bunker, a military compound, Besant lives in a bunker in a military compound. You have Todd Blanche in a military bunker compound, Steven Miller. It's not normal for them to do like, and it shows how scared and terrified they are. We come back. We'll talk more about, you know, this escalation of the war to Iran, what's going on there will give you developments there. But that's where the Trump cabinet members are. And they're actually very weak and scared and pathetic human beings. And it's just sad. They're all con artists, every single one of them, although we shouldn't call them artists because that implies some form of art or creativity. They're just a bunch of fraud and cons.

I love cheeky smile there, big bro. Would you smile and about? I just do cheeky smiles. Just do cheeky smiley. I have the new attitude which is great exuberance, but also great. Some people, some people not in the chat, but in the comments say that when I wave it, you don't like it. Can you clear that up? You like I love when you I love when you wave everything about your presentation to me. Okay, thank you. As I think about Nvidia as I think about all of these major kind of corporate scandals that are going to percolate, I think back to like Enron or Lehman Brothers, right, with the mortgage back security portfolio or Enron with the different sets of books. And I think about in a Trump regime, Donald Trump would basically be co-conspirators with the Enrons and with the Lehman Brothers, right? And what would have happened was the problem, the contagion would spread or it would compound and get worse. You know, I think about Bernie made off. Bernie made off would probably be a Trump cabinet member. Let's be very honest. You like the next replacement? Yeah. I mean, because it wouldn't it wouldn't be you better not do that. It would be you better not do that without me, Donald. Well, and there would be a way to cover up the Ponzi scheme by I don't know, like converting the debt on data centers into rent and then having Nvidia come in and then do like a broader MOU deal that then brought in outside debt financing. You know, the way they deal with all of it is basically deal with all of these like debt financing and then then call in the Qataris or call in Saudi Arabia or call in UAE Abu Dhabi and then have them do it over here. And they just elevated the ability to, you know, in my opinion, escalate the Ponzi's and just kind of keep it going. I mean, I remember seeing a year ago when you would see it kind of mapped out. whole kind of AI universe and the chat GP, the open AI, the way all of these kind of lived and seeing the kind of circular financing that was taking place and how they'd all make announcements and they would all basically be the same kind of pool of money would be kind of sifting through all of this. You look at it, you're like, that looks deeply problematic and to me it was what we saw in the past, but like on steroids and it was being ratified by the full faith and credit of the United States, which was dissolving the full faith and credit of the United States, which is why you see our bond market right now completely tarnished. It's right when you still look at the, remember we should still talk about the 10, the 20, the 30 year treasury yields, that they are just, that they're in bad shape right now, which means that, you know, the 30 year fixed mortgages are super high. The ability right now for people, for regular folks in order to take out a mortgage or take out a car loan or to do the, it's very, very difficult right now and so this is now trickling down to hurt everybody while these insiders are trading off all of this, trading of all information. It's why you need common sense regulations, right? You don't want regulations because nobody wants to hold like business back, right? Nobody's goal is like, I want this company to suffer because I don't think businesses should succeed and so we need to just make regulations so tough on them that they can't even do business. No, nobody wants that. That's what Republicans like to pretend and do regulations sometimes go a little too far certainly, but there's a reason we have regulations. So these companies can't run a muck and can't create a situation where they get too far, where they go too far down the road and break the entire system, screw everybody, send the entire country into bankruptcy and cause a financial crisis. And typically what happens, unfortunately, is we have to learn from previous disasters, what we need to fix. Like after the 2008, 2009 crash, we needed to implement some new regulations in order to try to stave off another one of those financial crises. Now Donald Trump's philosophy is just like let these people do whatever the hell they want, however they want to do it, I'm going to look the other way. And in fact, if they're going down a road where they're going to get in trouble, I will continue to prop them up and pretend like it didn't happen. And that might seem good for him or the market in the short term, but eventually the truth comes out. Eventually you find out and then next thing you know, the Nvidia stock is down 26%. And that could happen, I'm not trying to scare anybody, but theoretically that could happen to the entire economy if you reach a certain breaking point. And that's why you need smart regulations. That's why you need smart policy makers who are looking at the long term view of all of this and are not just trying to get that short term sugar high that Donald Trump tries to get every day. This is entire leadership strategy, the leadership very, very loosely there with COVID, like a miracle, it's just going to disappear. Hey, stop testing and we won't have any cases. Just don't tell the Iran War, I'm going to, that's done, everyone, that's done. He's got no actual strategy, no planning, no nothing other than how can I leverage the situations once again to drift off of the American people. Brett, let them continue to do their, let them continue to do their malpractice and whatever they're going to continue to prop up their stocks in their position. I'm going to be a part of it, right? Don't, don't cut me out. And then we'll just keep going until the wheels fall off. The issue is eventually the wheels fall off. And who's left holding the bag at that point? The American people, COVID didn't just magically disappear, bodies kept dropping, hundreds of thousands of millions of, like we all saw it play out because there was a lack of leadership at that time, there was willing to figure out how to get to a solve. And once again, here with inflation, with the economy, Donald Trump can just spike the football and say he scored a touchdown and we're living in the golden age all he wants. But the reality is the American people feel it. They feel the consequences of his failed leadership at the pump, at the grocery store. And there's no end in sight that he's going to try and work on behalf of the American people to make it any better. Yeah, I mean, he calls into you, you at one of these right wing propagandists on something called the Salem news channel, whatever the hell that is. And then Donald Trump slides, making up channels, making up channels, all right, Salem witch trial channels. And then Donald Trump's like, the Iranian regime is collapsing. They're in collapse right now here. Play this clip. We'll understand with the blockade, even if it takes 26 months to collapse that regime. No, no, well, the regime is collapsing. And their press is much different than the fact, you know, they'll always make these harsh statements about we are doing well, we will fight back, we will the, they are not doing well. They have 301% inflation. Their economy is gone. They're not paying the soldiers. I mean, you've been saying that now forever, right? I mean, they're about to collapse three more days. They're about to collapse. They really aren't, you know, there is this blockade that the US has with two aircraft carriers that are 1500 kilometers away from Iran. But look, I think Iran is still able to get out gas and oil in some ship to ship transfers that are happening, that are being disguised. I think that, you know, there's all of, like, look at Iran on a map. Just take a look at it. How big their border is. That's not the straight of war moves. There's Pakistan, there's Afghanistan, there's Turkmenistan, there's the Caspian Sea, there's Turkey, there's Iraq. And so you have a lot of countries that do lots of trade with Iran in general for gas and oil and for other supplies. Iran has, you know, they're able to, you know, get around the straight of war moves blockade through land routes, again, not as efficient, not ideal, but they can do it that way. We've seen over the past few weeks Iran announcing major deals with Russia. You have Iran's top adviser to the Ayatollah Mojtabakomenei Moshe Razi, he's met with Putin. We have other top Iranian advisers meeting with the foreign minister of China, Wang Yi. We've seen a lot of Middle East countries basically meeting with Iran as mediated by Wang Yi of China, seen a lot of cooperation happening over there. We've seen Russia announcing railway deals, gas pipeline deals, nuclear deals, very publicly with Iran. In addition to the Bouchir nuclear plant, other nuclear plants as well, same thing China announcing new deals with Iran. And so I mean, and Iran holding these meetings with a lot of kind of Arab nations, you know, in the region as well. We're seeing all of that take place far from Operation Economic Outcast. So that's what you got going on over there. I mean, also you have this continued escalation of the war in Ukraine, that Donald Trump promised he would end in 24 hours, he said, "I'm going to do it in 2024. I've got magic words, don't worry. I'll figure it out." And it's like, what's the solution there? He sends Kushner and Whitcoff to Moscow. I mean, first they, first they host what they say is a trilateral in Abu Dhabi. And then after Abu Dhabi, they go to Moscow, we're showing here for our audio listeners. You can see right now for those watching, Karel Demetriov, who runs Russian CyberWealth Fund, greeting Whitcoff, greeting Kushner, and Whitcoff is Donald Trump's scumbag real estate friend from Manhattan, cannot confirm by the Senate. He doesn't work for our government, who is this guy? You have Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, looks like he's at Disneyland. They can be happy. Yeah, it's like a kid meeting Mickey Mouse, and it's the best time of his life. We're seeing an old friend from school for the first time. These people have never looked happier. Never looked happier. Whitcoff and Kushner are enamored by this guy. He's wearing like a weird jacket. The whole thing is a big propaganda victory for Russia to show. Whitcoff and Kushner are like that. Kushner doesn't have an official role in the administration, too. Could we just acknowledge that? First, this is son-in-law. He's just sending his son-in-law on trips on the taxpayer dime. What are we doing? WTF? Right. I mean, if anything. I despise Rubio, but that's where a foreign minister in the US, a secretary of state, that's what the job is. You show up. You negotiate on behalf of the US. Rubio isn't that Rubio is too busy doing speeches in front of the acropolis in Greece, or where was he recently? Just self-aggrandizing things that Rubio is doing, but you have them there. They're in Abu Dhabi while Russia's lead negotiator, Medinsky, is talking all of this trash about Europe and they're not letting Europe participate in the negotiations that were unfolding in Abu Dhabi. Then you have Whitcoff bragging after meeting with Putin. It's a major accomplishment that they agreed to more meetings and more negotiations and more discussions while Russia, but what Russia wants to do here, Russia wants to talk about all of Europe's security architecture. They want to fold that into discussions. Because for Russia, Ukraine isn't a real country, Eastern Europe isn't a thing. That that belongs to the Soviet Union, that's part of Russia. So when Russia talks about security architecture in Europe, what they mean is the Eastern Europe to Russia is a fiction, and it encroaches on what Russia views its security architecture in the region is. And so what Putin will say, if it isn't to what a speech, I listen to this stuff, right? What Putin will say is, in 2021, I sent a letter to Biden, and I said, the security architecture of NATO of Eastern Europe, it is encroaching on Russia, and this is a threat. That's why we have to invade Ukraine. The way Russia views Ukraine and Medinsky said it, you know, at this trilateral at Abu Dhabi, is that you have like an ulcer. Like that Eastern Europe is this ulcer that's growing and growing and growing, and that you have the abscess with the pus that popped is Ukraine. And so Russia needs to fix the pus in the abscess that is Ukraine and then basically remove the ulcer and bring it back into Russian culture. That's Russia's view. So Russia's not there to discuss a ceasefire of Ukraine, because that's not what it's interested in all of Eastern. It says that. And what Zelensky wants is Ukraine is a sovereign country. Ukraine wants a ceasefire and wants security guarantees. And Trump said that he would get the war ended in 24 hours, but now you have Dumb and Dumber, Whitkopf and Kushner talking about security architecture of Europe. When Trump couldn't even get done, that'd be hard to do it, but a peace deal in Ukraine, which is what Trump promised. So now you couldn't do it. It's a big deal to get a peace deal done if you can do it. But now it's like, we can't do that deal. So now let's talk about security architecture for all of Europe in Abu Dhabi, which is a business partner in Abu Dhabi. It's part of the United Arab Emirates. With Kushner, they invest a lot of money in Kushner. They invest a lot of money in Whitkopf and Donald Trump. World Liberty Financial gets all of that Abu Dhabi money and Dubai money and UAE money and all that, and all that other money as well. And let's talk about all of Europe now, but let's not invite Europe. Europe can't talk, but we're going to do a talk with Trump, with the regime, with Whitkopf and Kushner, with Ukraine, and with, and have Russia there. And Europe's not allowed to be there, but we're going to talk about European security architecture. I just want to let people know how deeply unserious these discussions are. So Europe's like, no, we're not talking about you. We don't want to talk about Europe's security architecture. We're supposed to talk about Ukraine. And Zelensky's point is, well, let's just freeze the borders where it is. Russia has occupied a lot of areas in Donbass in the East. And Zelensky's position is, look, we'll freeze the borders right there, do a ceasefire, we can end the war. We don't want to give you more of Donbass. Because if we give you more, you're going to take areas you couldn't end the war. And then you'll use that as a straight shot in order to take key, in other major cities. That's where we're blocking you from doing that. You're not going to stop once you have that. The same way once you annex Crimea, you didn't stop. Because Russia and Putin's view is that Ukraine doesn't exist. Eastern Europe doesn't exist. And so dumb and dumb are out there. I mean, do we have any video just so you can see of like Kushner, just show anyone of Kushner at like the table? And he's like just talking about like, well, I think that we're making some real good probably. It looks like a kid who didn't study for his book report like bullshit. And I'm like, what are we even watching here? Let's play this clip. We've seen a big change with the Europeans. And we think there's a very strong momentum and desire to engage together. And we're very confident that if we move to a multilateral format, that will continue to make progress to resolve the issues. And we believe that will help us in the war. - It's so embarrassing to watch. Like so embarrassing, it's like humiliating to watch that. - And a reminder after you heard him say that, they're not including Europe in these conversations, which is the biggest FU to Europe on the planet. And you have people like the Vice President of the European Union Commission speaking out and saying nothing happens with Ukraine and Putin without Europe's involvement here. You can't the United States just cut out Ukraine, cut out Europe and go to Putin to make whatever deals you want. While by the way, clearly you have Whitcoff and Kushner. They are not the most ethical people to be doing these deals because they stand to profit in many ways from many of the other things that they're doing in the region. They're not exactly fair actors to be there. And they're related or good friends with Donald Trump directly. They don't have actual skills in this area. And they have to put it upon themselves or Donald Trump has put it upon them to quite literally try to sell off pieces of Ukraine to Putin. I mean, the fact that we even see those sorts of tweets from Creole Demetri of is like disgraceful to me. And when you see the tone and tenor and the words that people are saying about this Trump regime, who's saying them? I think it tells you a lot, right? When you see a Creole Demetri of with that tweet where you see Kushner and Whitcoff gushing like they just saw Mickey Mouse, the one I was showing you earlier. And then you see the vice president of the European Union Commission. And she is not as happy about this trip, right? Those two things, the dichotomy of those two things, it tells you a lot about what's going on. And we've seen from Trump's actions just like he's willing to look the other way when he finds out bad behavior within video. He's willing to do the same thing with anybody who he wants to prop up. So in this case, it's Vladimir Putin, right? You have all this stuff going on. You have Putin, Daly, bombing civilians in Ukraine, bombing towns, bombing villages, bombing cities, hitting the electrical grid in Ukraine. You have Ukraine responding. Who does Donald Trump get mad at? He gets mad at Zelensky. He doesn't get mad at Putin. It's like Putin never did anything. Or he just goes, well, both of them do it. So both of them do it. That's what he does. He just buries what if there's somebody who he wants to prop up because he thinks it's better for him. He is going to let them get away with whatever bad behavior they want. Even I'm just thinking about the line which reveals his psychology. What he said about Jensen Hoing the other day when it was coming out about the stuff about Chinese spy and the infidelity and then he cheated on his wife with this woman who worked at this Chinese company and then also to employees. And Trump's response was something like, I'm not paraphrasing, but it was pretty damn close. It was something like, well, I'm sure he had a good reason to. What, what do you mean? You're sure he had a good reason to cheat on his wife with three people? What does that mean? But it really shows you that he is fine with people getting away with bad behavior because he's engaged in bad behavior like that his entire life because he views that the ends justify the means, right? If he could prop up that 401(k) that people have for just a few more days, it doesn't matter what Jensen Hoing is doing, it doesn't matter what's happening to our biggest secrets in the country, it doesn't matter. The ends justify the means with Trump even if the far away ends are a disaster for everybody. - Yeah, and meanwhile, Trump and Musk are at it again. They're throttling, Starlink and Star Shield. So with respect to Zelensky's use of drones, so the drones that go to actually strike inside Russia and the drone interceptors, that stop Russian strikes of Ukraine, it's being throttled. And about, what is it, like, 145 or 150 kilometers an hour, or 100 miles per hour, 161 kilometers an hour. And so these drones, like the Russian drones, go 450 kilometers an hour, right? And so we're talking about the Garen-4, the Garen-5 is like a hybrid. So Zelensky's being throttled, where he can't stop those drones. So I mean, you have lots of people getting killed, because once again, Starlink and Star Shields being alleged, so it's throttling. Zelensky's ability to stop these drones, so you have that going on right now. And it's being timed with these discussions in order to try to extort, in my view, or threaten, Zelensky into a surrender. I mean, that's what's happening right now. And as I've said, you know, before I'll say it again, you know, the first Trump impeachment, regarding the shakedown of Zelensky, that happens every day, before 9am, okay? In terms of whether or not he should be impeached, that's the least that should happen. I mean, he should go in front of a war tribunal. He's a war criminal. He has so much blood on his hands, so much death on his hands. So does Pete Hegsett, so does Marco Rubio, so does J.D. Vance, so does his entire criminal cartel. They've engaged in war crimes. Gally, they've engaged in massive crime. Before 9am, they do like 10 impeachable things. And so it is important that the Democrats forcefully push back. They investigate all of these things. The Democrats are not scared. They're not backing down. You have Trump's White House lawyer, this guy Scharf. He's sending letters threatening Democratic Congressman García. You have a United States attorney in Texas. or Republican threatening what Senator Blumenthal and Senator Blumenthal, like I'm not scared of you, you've got Todd Blanche continues to threaten Democrats on Capitol. We're going to come after you. You're about to cross the line. We're coming after you and Democrats like we're not scared. We're a co-equal branch of government. Our mandate is oversight. We're not afraid of you. And so you have that going down right now. And so, you know, look, Donald Trump is going to invoke every privilege, executive privilege, delivery to process privilege. And he's going to try to shut down his government from investigations. Democrats are going to go to court to enforce these subpoenas. But what you're going to start to see is a lot of corporations, a lot of companies are seeing a future where the American people rebuke this Trump era. And they're going to, and we see it already, reaching out to Democratic Congress members and the lawyers of these committees and saying, how can we help? We want to turn ourselves in. Let us be whistleblowers. Let us be witnesses. Let us confess. Here's what we want. Be lenient on us. We're seeing that at a mass scale. And Trump has been so entangled with all of this corporate greed that a lot of this is going to shed light on what the Trump regime is doing. So buckle up because beginning in January, when Democrats take control of the House and take control of the Senate, it's going to be relentless. It's going to be ruthless. And it's going to be every damn day. And I think that what we're going to uncover is going to shock the conscience. So, so, so damn much. We still got a lot of show reminder store.mitustouch.com is our, where we have our gear, our merch, our blue wave gear, Brett's wearing that, Jordy's wearing some of the MTN gear right there as well.

A lot of people use nicotine as a pre workout thinking that will actually make their pump and their workouts better.

Where's your next big bro? You know, I want to give a hat tip to some of these young Democrats, new Democrats in the Senate in the house who are showing up and just strong. I mean, you've got Congress member O'Jetta talking about belt to ass. I mean, that's fearless. You know what I mean? Love this guy. We've known O'Jetta, by the way, since like we started my years ago. He's been running for a while and to see him in there, this guy is a dog. He's a fighter. This is expect fireworks. That's all I'm going to say. No doubt. And then you have Dr. Abdul-Elsaid. He gave this great interview with NPR, where he was like, let me just show you how you have to hand her a bully. Let me show you how you have to punch back. And you know, I just really appreciate kind of the fearlessness. And this has actually been our approach here at the Midas Touch Network, which is you can't show any weakness. You can't you just have to go one direction. You punch back because bullies take pleasure in the suffering of others. And you have to confront the bully. Let me show you with Dr. Abdul-Elsaid. Let's let's play. Now, if he wants to start being serious and doing things for the American public, great he is the president of the United States. And in the interim, I am not going to play around and pretend that somehow this man is intelligent. I'm not going to play around and somehow pretend that this man has any strategy or that this man is somehow brilliant. Yeah, I'll show you. They have a few other clips of him as well. Let's play this next one. The way a lot of people have dealt with the president is through flattery, appealing to him, maybe to his ego. I mean, they manipulate the narcissism approach. I mean, no, that's not what I'm saying, but I'm saying that's actually exactly what you're saying, right? Like, you're not using those words. He's a narcissist and the way you manipulate a narcissist is to flatter them because in his mind, the only thing that matters is how much praise he's getting at any given moment. Now, you're doing the opposite. You recently called President Trump the dumbest effing guy who ever was president. True. On a podcast. You've also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is. True. Why are you taking that approach? Because he's a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Because there's a thing about it, bullies don't bully you because they necessarily care for the thing you have. They bully you because they like to bully you because it makes them feel strong. And the way you take on a bully is to bully back because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong. It makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak. So they back off. And the more you let a bully get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him. I think, you know, if he has a neat trick, it's that he has fully succumbed to his narcissism and is very good at getting attention. So the good news about that though is that because he's very good at getting attention, what he says gets attention, which means every day he tees off on me, he gives me more attention. So yeah, I think that's a perfect analysis. I remember he's a brilliant guy, Dr. Abdul, I say, I'm not sure. He's a brilliant, he's a road scholar. You know, and if you saw, we posted a few weeks ago, the the valedictorian speech that that he gave at the University of Michigan, where Bill Clinton was the commencement speaker and Dr. Boulouse, I had spoke and then Bill Clinton spoke after him and Bill Clinton, like pointed out, like, I want you to like look at this guy. This is a very special, you know, individual right there and I want you to follow him because he's a really bright guy and I think even, you know, understanding his background and just how bright he is and how smart he is at analyzing the situation sometimes gets lost in the political back and forth of it all. But to play off what Abdul Al-Sayed was saying in the beginning of that clip, playing to Donald Trump's narcissism, he did just that today and I thought in a brilliant way, going viral for this post right here, which I'll pull up, which you could see right here. He wrote, this is a message for Donald Trump. Donald, this is on the table. guarantee health care for every American from cradle to grave and he posted for those listening. It's a gold shiny gold card that says Trump care on it and the Trump care card gives you Medicare for all free health care free dental care free vision care and you could have your own Trump card and Donald Trump gets to have his name on it. This is exactly what he was speaking about in the beginning of that clip and he's putting that into action here and you know, I think this is something that Jordy said on a few episodes ago, right? Just their name and things after Trump, but put it as the policies that you want to see get done, play to his narcissism and see what happens will don't will he probably reject this stuff like probably this might be your best chance to do it and then let him veto it right? Let him veto universal pre K let him veto health care for everybody let him veto the stuff if that's what he wants to do, but it's a very funny out way to play with him right here and it shows you the way that Abdul is thinking. Yeah, you think about though how Trump and Magna have doubled down on the worst of the worst. I mean, you have Jim Jordan think about the developments this week. Jim Jordan's the minority leader right now. I mean, think about how much people hate Jim Jordan. I mean, a guy who covered up sexual assault at a university, a guy who's just a notorious liar like you look at Jim Jordan and he just oozes grossness like Maga Mike is terrible Jim Jordan is worse. So like they're doing that. You've got Donald Trump seeming to, you know, wrap his arm around the Lutniks, wrap his arm around the Hegsitz, you know, and look, you know, I think that, you know, I understand a lot of these like 11 Democrats who didn't make the vote were like I was stuck in traffic, I was this and that, Maga Mike did a procedural maneuver. It's like, okay, everybody knew this vote was going to happen on the Hegsitz impeachment. Like, you know, I feel like the most important thing you're going to do is vote. If you know that's coming, I understand that Maga Mike did like a procedural thing and then close the vote right away. I still think, you know, you got to be there and you got to be around and just anticipate that that's going to happen. Even if that means being in the office longer than you want to and not knowing when it's going to happen, but like the thing that Trump is bragging about is what? That Trump and the Maga cartel are protecting Hegsitz, who the entire country hates. Like the country still doesn't want this guy there. And again, in a normal functioning governing system after a shellacking like that in an election, you have snap elections and you have an entirely new executive branch is what normally would happen. Our system is different here where you have the president's term is still in other two years. But you know, even like when George W. Bush got a shellacking, which wasn't as bad as this one. This one's historical because it was at every level too, right? It was judge level, local level. It was at, you know, school board level, Congress, governor's races, everyone. But George Bush got rid of Rumsfeld, like you're supposed to have some self awareness and fire some people, not promote Stephen Miller, not promote Hegsitz and double down. It's just infuriating the American people, you know, even more. And these people are going to have to testify. I mean, Hegsitz is going to have to show up in the 120th Congress. Admiral Brad Cooper, Mr. Podcast, or now, is going to have to show up. A lot of these three and four star admirals who have stayed, you know, who have either been promoted while our top three and four stars have been pushed out. These people are going to have to show up and they're going to testify in front of, you know, a very animated, you know, a very aggressive Democratic oversight Congress right now. And we're going to see a lot of hearings, a lot of oversight. And if Trump's position is we're not doing oversight, we're not going to have that happen. Again, in 2028, what do we have 21 or 20 Senate seats up for re-election? A lot of Republican seats are up for re-election there. And it's possible if it keeps going this way, Democrats wouldn't like every one of those races. I'm going to say we could be honestly headed, and I'm not going to put the car before the horse. You could be headed at this point, like you're on track for a possibility of a Democratic super majority, you know, something rarely, rarely that could happen, right? And I want to remind everybody, this was the hard election. All elections are hard vote every election, but this was supposed to be the impossible election for Democrats. When all the analysts were speaking about this election two years ago, they wrote off the Senate. They said it's going to be impossible, you know, Democrats will probably, you know, might be able to win by slim margins in the House, we'll see, but the deck is very stacked against them in the Senate, you know, it's the states that are up, you know, it's, you got Texas, you got Mississippi, you got all these states, you know, a lot of these swing states that just went to Trump going to be really, really, really hard to get those to flip to Democrats. The Democrats had a historic showing with 56 seats, and now we're going to go to the elections where we're going into friendly or territory for Democrats. And so, you know, the results could, it could just keep going in this direction if, you know, the people in power play their cards right, and if the voters do their job. Yeah. And then if the people on the other side of the coin, the Republican Party, Maga, Donald Trump continue to do exactly what they're doing, right? That's going to continue to drive the country further to the left to Democrats. And that's just simply because of their lack of leadership, right? What are they going to do? The first, the first thing they did after, after the shalacking was elevates Steven Miller, was elevate Jim Jordan within their party, but these are like widely detested people like across the country that like go beyond like a political junkie who's following the day to day. The Republican Party and Donald Trump have learned absolutely nothing. And not only that, you know, the theme of the episode, they have doubled down in their push to pit it, their own self stupidity and their own hatred and bigotry to elevate leaders that I believe, again, will not work on behalf of the American people, but only to pass their own personal agendas, which again, the American people widely rejected at these midterm elections and breads. Your point, this was supposed to be the hard one, right? Voting every election. Absolutely. This was supposed to be the difficult one. And what we're seeing now, if this continues to play out, Donald Trump, he's in for another shallacking. If you've seen some of what these corporate oligarchs are saying, they're doing these interviewees and they're like extra woke right now that, well, well, man, I've always been a progressive man. I've always been a Democrat. You're in my bio, bro. What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what are you talking about? You see the Palantir's CEO, Alex Garpe. He's like, I've basically been a progressive man. What are you even talking about? I don't support Trump because let's, let's do what this guy says here, let's play it. What are the barriers of common interest with Democrats in Congress? I mean, I've been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet. And I absolutely believe our Palantir, all of our products are essentially progressive. Okay. Okay. The lie heavily on government contracts and Donald Trump is the most vindictive person to ever hold the presidency. And he dangled those government contracts and that's why he made people like Alex Garpe bend the knee. And I don't dispute that, you know, Alex Garpe in his past, you know, maybe grew up a Democrat and was progressive back in the day. But he made a very sharp, veer to the Trumpist right, to the pro fascist, the Trumpist right, the second Donald Trump won that election. And he realized that he needed to get on Donald Trump's good side in order for his company to be successful. Yeah. Show you over here as well. You have Senator Kennedy, Maga Republican from Louisiana. He was asked, should Howard Lutnik lose his job over what's been going on with Jensen Wang and still, I guess supporting the licenses, to mega speed and speed matrix, the Alice Wang, the potential Chinese spies relationship with Jensen. I mean, Lutnik knew about it. Lutnik was covering it up. You know, by the way, I mean, Lutnik's the guy who claims that he never hung out with Epstein, then he was on the island with his kids. He brought his kids to Epstein Island, then he was like, yeah, you, you brought your kids. And he's like, I know. I said that I wasn't there. I brought my kiddies. Is there something wrong with that? Yeah, it's worse if you brought your kids to the island where kids' extravagant things with that makes it worse, man. That makes it worse. And then you lied about him. Remember, he refused to be under oath. He refused to do it on camera like when he was testifying. Anyway, here's what Senator Kennedy says. Let's play. Should Howard Lutnik, the Commerce Secretary, lose his job over this? Well, I don't know yet. If I were the Secretary, I would have called a press conference already. Now, I know he's got to talk to his mates and his lawyers and all that, but I would have already called a press conference and told the American people through the media, look, I'll be here as long as you want. I'm prepared to answer all questions. He hasn't done that. Maybe he has a good reason not to, but he's going to be called a testifying front of Congress. And I understand the Secretary's Treasury has some concerns about this. I want to hear from Scott Besson. This is serious as an aneurysm. I mean, this is not just, it's easy to make fun of because it's so extra terrestrial, but it's serious. But these hearings are going to be very interesting. Democrats control the time. They control the procedure now. They're able to, you know, control who gets subpoenaed. They prep with depotitions before, you know, how when the mega-republicans would hold hearings, they would basically have like five minutes of the time's up, times up, Democrats can go as long as they want, go as long as they want. And these hearings are going to be, I think, eye-opening. We're going to be covering them all here on the Midas Touch Network. And we're just going to keep the updates over and over. As I've said before, I'll leave with this. For what we do here at the Midas Touch Network, the most effort actually needs to be spent right after the election. You know, leading up to the election, you have all the text messages, the emails, all the bad faith actors emerge in service. But what's so critical of what we do right now is when those text messages in, when those bad faith ads and when all of the consultants go back into their swamp or whatever it is, that we keep having these conversations now, so that we all fortify our minds when 2028 comes around to the bad faith actors. So we know not to trust them. So we know what is the truth and what's the lies. And then we think about 2030, 2035, 2040, 2060. That's what we're building for right now, generational change, generational fortification, the fire hose of truth beating the fire hose of lies. We were doing that. Now but we can't rest on our laurels. We have to keep on growing and growing and growing. So if you can become a member of the YouTube channel now, become a member of our sub-stack, get the merch that supports this network, gift memberships if you can on YouTube. We're grateful for you. Appreciate it. Get the book. The book is a governing kind of thesis. It's a fun book too. They're not like thesis governor, but it talks about our mindset. What we're building, how we built it, where we go from here. It's not an election book at all. It's a generational change book. That's why I think so many people, why the books resonating with so many people. Now's the time. Keep spreading the word, right? Lock in and take this moment when the right, the other side is putting its guard down, right? You all need to come together and push, because that's going to give everybody here a leg up.
