Donald Trump just outright describing genocide. This cannot be normalized, folks. Let me explain to you what Donald Trump also did this morning. But first, I want to show you what he said to state regime media. Fox, let's play this clip. Energy and update from the president. Hey, Trey. Yeah. Hey, guys. Good morning. I just spoke with President Trump about the situation with Iran. He tells Fox News he's in a deciding mode and that very big things are going to be happening in the not so distant future. The president described the current choices on the table as wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically or making a deal. He added, my question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? They better behave. Now, I asked the president about. Then Donald Trump talks about how Washington, D.C. is going to become a massive war zone. And he says that his so-called triumphal arch that he is building will become a military complex. So he's preparing the White House to become a drone port and a military command center. And he's now saying the triumphal arch is going to be used for a war in Washington, D.C. Here's what he posted this morning. At the strong request of the United States military and for national security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent triumphal arch planned since the Civil War era many years ago. At the receptive circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge into a top grade military complex triumphal arch to house, store and have the rapid ability to use large number of drones plus snipers on both the roof and plaza areas. And additionally, have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the world. This is an important piece of information for all of us to keep in mind as we look at the future. Trump says he's creating AI force like Space Force, an entire military division that will be focused on AI. This as we learned that an AI chat bot almost got the United States involved in a war with China recently. And this as we also learned that F-35 parts found their way to China. I should also note that as Treasury Secretary Besant has been threatening any country that does business with Iran with economic D-Day, massive sanctions. He was photographed earlier with China's Treasury head as well. By the way, Donald Trump goes on to say how we are the only country that doesn't have a triumphal arch and it's going to be great when it is a military triumphal arch. We've also reported here on the Midas Touch Network how European countries are effectively preparing for World War III. They're all saying that they expect Russian hybrid attacks to be taking place soon. And Russia also announced where Russia basically borders Estonia. There will be a curfew through September 26th. And some of the threats that at least European countries have been saying is that Russia may send elite teams of special forces into European countries to test NATO Article 5. Meanwhile, Putin says that he expects there to be an invasion from European countries. Things are escalating and now Donald Trump is talking about turning Washington, D.C. into a war zone with the triumphal arch becoming a military arch, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. Then Donald Trump to state regime media, Fox says that the Iranian officials are all hiding like rats. Here, play this clip. The president described some of the challenges that the Trump administration faces right now when dealing with the Iranians. He said some of the officials are hiding like rats. That's what he described it as in terms of actually getting people to the table that could make a deal. But ultimately, the Trump quite the contrary, they're not hiding like rats. We covered here on the Midas Touch Network. A military parade that took place in Tehran over the past few days. There was also a 10K run that I shared with you. And we saw President Pozeshki and Iran's president there. We saw Iran's Central Command military leaders there. They were all there. I mean, they're photographed literally being in the city center of Tehran where hundreds of thousands of people showed up in this event. It was a kind of an event supportive of the regime and also kind of protesting the attacks on Iran. But it was a major parade, a major event. Meanwhile, Iran's top military advisor to Ayatollah Khomeini, Mojtaba Khomeini, that is, Mohsen Razai, we see where he is. And he's been giving interviews basically every day. Here's what he said in the most recent interview released this morning. If the Americans are serious, let their soldiers come and enter Iran. Why don't they come in? Ground forces are always the ones that have the final word in wars. Why do the airborne divisions not come? Why do the U.S. ground forces not enter Iran? Why do they only bomb from the sky and then leave? Trump greatly underestimated Iran. Mohsen Razai, Iran's security council secretary, says today nobody considers America's war with Iran to be rational or logical. Everyone describes it as a stupid war. And I want to add another word to that, ignorant. American military, economic, and political actions were not based on any precise assessment or accuracy. They were carried out entirely at the instigation of Israel and Netanyahu personally. But Donald Trump ranting and raving like a lunatic this morning saying, they're hiding like rats. We don't know where they are. Donald Trump also told state regime media Fox that he's in constant communication with the Houthis. He's like speaking with Ansar Allah every day, he says. Going U.S. naval blockade, but also the attacks by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen that targeted Saudi Arabia. Yesterday with ballistic missiles, the president said the United States is in constant communication with the Houthis and that they've agreed not to fight the United States. But again, the big headline here, the president says he isn't- I spoke with one of the top Ansar Allah reporters, Hussein al-Bukhaiti. And al-Bukhaiti's brother, Muhammad al-Bukhaiti, is a governor for Ansar Allah in Yemen and also sits on the main political bureau. So the guy I interviewed, Hussein al-Bukhaiti, in addition to being a top reporter, he's one of the most kind of connected people to leadership in Yemen. You probably saw the interview I dropped. the other day here's what he had to say about donald trump here play this clip we look at him here in sanaa and maybe in all yemen as like someone who is a fool uh who doesn't want who doesn't know what to say uh he doesn't uh know what not to say he just like his what comes to his mouth he will just say it and is actually uh making the reputation of the united states as one of the countries that's considered the free world uh making it bad and even here i mean if somebody will will will will break an agreement or a word with someone we call we call him trump but then donald trump told state regime media fox that um you know this weekend is no different than any other weekend despite what threatening total annihilation and genocide i mean i guess for donald trump and his genocidal uh completely crazed lunatic behavior this is normal for him but we should not accept this as normal in the united states that this is even taking place and how about state regime media like i know you're a propaganda network but how about you do your damn job and say what donald trump's talking about is genocide what donald trump is talking about are heinous war crimes annihilating and blowing a country off the map what the hell is wrong with you but anyway here's donald trump saying this weekend's no different let's play it open to it but described this weekend as no different from any other weekend despite these alerts that went out to u.s citizens across the region remember a lot of moving parts here it's not just the situation with iran and the ongoing u.s naval blockade but also the and then donald trump goes back to well i might meet with president pozeskian and foreign minister iraqi when they're in new york next week or this upcoming week at the united nations i may meet with them he says so total annihilation they're hiding like rats i'm going to meet with them maybe they want to do a deal do you see the lunatic behavior here folks let's play this clip the president about the u.n general assembly this week iranian president masoud pozeskian is going to be there and i asked if he'd be open to meeting with the iranian leader and he said he'd probably be open to it but described this weekend as no different from any other weekend despite these alerts that went out to u.s citizens across the region now iran's irgc says that the us has decided to resume military action against iran at a joint meeting in a european country the irgc is not prepared for any u.s strikes iran's army with at least 420 000 troops says that their ground forces are deploying across the country's broaders borders preparing for a massive escalation and meanwhile the central command of iran sent the following message you know there's the irgc and then there's the iranian army then central command in iran is almost like their centcom which kind of coordinates irgc and army activities we warn that if the united states makes a mistake against the islamic republic of iran all of its bases and interests in the region will become the target of continuous effective and painful attacks without any limitations or considerations we warn that if a regional country continues to dub their double standards towards the islamic republic of iran and aligns themselves with the aggression of the great satan against the powerful islamic iran they will be considered complicit in this evil and they can no longer expect restraint or decency from islam's for from iran's powerful armed forces and so donald trump then sends his sycophants out there like kevin hassett donald trump's uh top economic advisor and they just go and they'll just start to lie this morning so after all this that i said he trots out these idiots and kevin has it who's been wrong about everything his entire life it's like inflation's way down the american people are doing great here play this clip there's been a big reduction in inflation but prices are higher because of the economic downturn of the u.s economy and the because of the huge inflation that we inherited from joe biden but inflation is way down uh again over the last three months we're right at the fed's target and and it's dropped sharply uh despite the uh what's going on in the middle east and so i think that you know i go to the grocery store every weekend and i just noticed as an example that the hamburger for my barbecue yesterday was down two dollars from a couple of weeks ago and so i'm seeing uh prices move in the right direction there was a rate hike you know and this is why we need a really strong media diet we need to build up resiliency against this bs against this propaganda it's one of the reasons i use ground news ground news is an app and a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how the left center and right are framing the story differently for every story they have a color-coded layout to make it easy to see the political bias of each source they also show you if it's a large media conglomerate with corporate interests behind the story or whether it is a media outlet that is independently owned and so you take a look at this story right here for example the naacp sues to block the trump administration from sending armed agents to the polls this was covered by the left this was covered by the center no coverage on the right why in my opinion because they've accepted outright authoritarianism and they don't even get to hear about these things from their media sources so i'm always looking to see how is media getting disseminated to people and how i think about the midas touch network and further growing this network and i think that's a really important aspect of the network ground news has that dedicated blind spot feed i just showed you i believe in ground news so much we're going to offer you 40 off the same vantage plan that i use for my research so just go click the link in the description or go to ground.news.mtn or scan the qr code up here it's one of the biggest discounts they've ever offered so if you want to support the channel and get a clearer understanding of the world try out ground news one more time ground.news.mtn or scan the qr code up here it's one of the biggest discounts they've ever offered so if you want to support the channel and get a clearer understanding of the world try out ground.news.mtn or scan the qr code up here it's one of the biggest discounts they've ever offered so if you want to support the channel and get a clearer understanding of the world try out ground.news.mtn behaving like utter buffoons and lunatics and liars that they are but they look also so weak now right for example you have congresswoman salazar from south florida she recently cut that ad in front of the white house she was like donald your advisors are leading you astray you should support the dignity act and have a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in my district she told the immigrants the immigrant population in her in her district and families who were from cuba and venezuela and haiti and all these other places and all these other locations a big immigrant district that you have nothing to worry about with trump he's not going to revoke temporary protected status he supports you he supports your dignity and now she's like donald advisors you screwed this one up but she still has this like deranged you know line that she uses like she's like this was all part of the plan in venezuela we want to work with maduro's regime with delci rodriguez this is all part of this is three-dimensional chess really it's three-dimensional chess that's why these people are lunatics and they are just the i don't care about it from a political standpoint these people are just scumbags and they are liars and just you'll see for yourself here play this clip well once again you see we go back to donald trump he created this new blueprint the western hemisphere and how to deal with the dictators and what he did was that he and think about this i think that we discussed this he created this he has forced the bad actors like delci because she was uh next to maduro and we know that they were not good people for the venezuelans so trump has forced the bad actors to create the platform for the good actors to come in just like president like uh secretary rubio said recently that there was recovery trends and then and then she goes it's his advisors who are leading him and i think that it's his advisors who are leading him and that's why i think it's my duty it's my duty not to attack there are no attacks here there i'm just forewarning him and advising him as a member of congress from the south florida area that some of his advisors are just not going to take his advice i think it's it's my duty not to attack there are no attacks here i'm just forewarning him and advising him as a member of congress from the south florida area that some of his advisors are just not going to take his advice i think it's my duty not to attack there are no attacks here i'm just forewarning him and advising him as a member of congress from the south florida area that some of his advisors are just not going to take his advice i think it's my duty not to attack it's my duty not to attack there are no attacks here i'm just forewarning him and advising him as a member of congress from the south florida area that some of his advisors are just not going to take his advice there are no attacks here i'm just forewarning him and advising him as a member of congress from the south florida area that some of his advisors are just not going to take his advice he is the only elected official in the white house he is the one who has to determine who he listened and who he does not listen to then we hear from u.n ambassador mike walls and he's asked by dana bash about reports that the war with iran is going to last through the end of donald trump's term and waltz the u.n ambassador who's supposed to be about like resolution and peace you're the u.n ambassador dude he was the national security advisor but then he was in that signal chat remember um when the u.s lost to the houthis in the war back in 2025 where all of our planes started like falling off of ships and it was like all mysterious and now we probably know that what was really going down in the trump regime lies about everything in any event mike wallace basically is like yeah the war may you know time is on our side here time is on our side really tell that to people who depend on diesel to fuel their businesses and to survive tell that to the american people who can't fill up their tanks with gas because it's too expensive as prices are surging and as the american people are suffering that make that your pitch waltz that time is on our side that this is all going great in your world i mean maybe because you all grifted and stole from the american people and talk about triumphal military arches maybe you all think it's good but not for the american people listen to what walt says here play this clip more broadly on iran the wall street journal reports the president's top advisors are warning that the iran war could continue through the remainder of the president's term term. We're talking 2029. Is that what you think? Well, I think the time with the president's strategy and Operation Economic Fury is on the president and on the United States side. The blockade is in place. You just heard the CENTCOM commander, Admiral Bradley Cooper, announce a milestone of over a billion barrels of oil have been escorted by our great U.S. Navy from our Gulf allies out to global markets, but not a drop of Iranian oil is coming out. And we're seeing the results of Operation Economic Outcast led by Scott Besson, our treasury secretary. The Iranian rial, their currency just tanked below two million rials to the dollar. Inflation. Even on state regime media, Fox, Ducey had to go and ask Kevin Hassett. So I don't know, man, these numbers seem pretty bad. I want to know which of these things sets off alarm bells inside the West Wing. We're going to put up a couple of polls. Only 23% of voters thinking the economy is excellent or good. 12% of voters describing their personal financial situation as getting ahead. Or 62% of voters saying grocery prices are a major problem for their family. Do any of those make you think we've got a problem here? Look, I'm the White House economist. And all I can say is that polls over and over again harm impressions about the economy because they poll way too many Democrats. If you look, for example, at the Michigan survey, that Democrats in the Michigan survey are saying that we've got the worst economy since the Great Depression because they hate President Trump. Republicans are basically seeing what we see, which is a very strong economy with low inflation. GDP now in the third quarter is supposed to be 5%. We just had a blockbuster jobs report. We've got real income growth. We've got huge progress on affordability. Do you realize that the decline in drug prices because of what we've been doing is the largest in 64 years? And so there's so much economic good news. But what happens is that you'll notice that the sort of far left media, what they'll do is instead of letting you talk about the news, giving you the facts like the 5% GDP growth, the large income growth, the $3,000 decline in real incomes under Joe Biden. Instead of talking about that, what they want to do is talk about the fact that we're in the middle of a crisis. And so they want to talk about these Jimmy polls. And I just, I'm not convinced at all. And I can tell you that in the economic literature, the one thing that you see is that what matters in the end is what's in people's pockets. Think about this. One of the worst things that could happen to someone is they get laid off. Additional claims for unemployment insurance are the lowest on record going all the way back to World War II. So people aren't losing their jobs. It's a really strong economy. And rather than talk about the strong economy, people want to talk about these silly polls. No far left media here, Kevin. No, no, but you're saying what they say. Well, but it's the polls. Why don't you put up some facts to say, what do you think about the 5% GDP growth? What do you think about the claims? Lowest ever. What do you think about drug prices? Biggest decline since, you know, in 64 years. That's all I'm saying, Peter. I'm not criticizing you as being partisan. And I totally get it. Look. Then I want to bring us back to this finally. Former President Obama, he gave a speech at Colgate University. We have the full speech on our live feed. We covered it live on the Midas Touch Network. I hope you'll watch the full speech. It's refreshing. It's an honor that we got the exclusive to cover it here on the Midas Touch Network. Listen to what Obama has to say on Trump's press ban. I would never have anticipated. My imagination could not foresee some of the stuff that's going on right now. I believe there was just an announcement that the White House decided. You know what? CNN, MSN, MSNOW, maybe the New York Times was included. You just can't come to the White House press briefings anymore because you're giving the current president unfavorable coverage. I'm trying to think what would have happened if I had said, you know what, Fox News, get out of here. It's unimaginable. And hear what, listen to what Obama has to say here about American value and principles, how even our adversaries expected the United States to solve the problem. Solve big problems and not to do what's happening right now. Play this clip. Even our adversaries often expect us to solve big problems that cross national boundaries. And that's something we should be proud of, but it's also something that we should feel some responsibility for. Because when we don't get things right, when we're not our best selves, the whole world gets a little dimmer. And when we stand up for values like human rights or freedom of speech or express concern and are proactive around issues like climate change, then not everybody goes along a hundred percent, but the world leans into a better direction. And finally, former President Obama talks about the thing that strikes him when he travels across the country. Let's play it. There is a, the thing that strikes you when you travel around the country is that we are not as divided as our politics or our media would suggest. Now that's a problem structurally. The, the, the, the, the reasons why our politics divides us, whether it's gerrymandering or, you know, unrestricted campaign spending and negative ads. And there's also structural reasons why the media divides us, because in this social media world now, we're all siloed off and we, we each are pushed towards a very particular vision of the world, often fed by fear. That makes us mistrust each other. But when you're on the ground, what's striking is that I remember the first time I started campaigning in Iowa and look, there is a lot of corn there, uh, that stereotype is true, but you'll go into a rural community in Iowa and discover that here's a town that was founded by, uh, hippies and here's, uh, there's a Orthodox community, uh, you know, uh, Jewish community living side by side, uh, with a bunch of farmers and, and people work together and they, uh, extend grace towards each other in ways that you do not see in your doom scrolling.
