Weakness incarnate Donald Trump was leaving from Mar-a-Lago in his motorcade while reposting on social media, the lie that people were chanting. We love you, Donald. We love you, Donald, as he was leaving Mar-a-Lago in his meeting with the oligarchs yesterday and today. That was not happening. People were not saying that Donald Trump was also posting weird montages about his uncle who he says was a professor at MIT. And that's why Trump says he knows so much about nuclear because he believes in genetics and his uncle taught at MIT that Donald Trump knows about nuclear. I mean, how utterly deranged can you be? Then we learn that Donald Trump has been working behind the scenes to set up a trilateral meeting between the United States, Xi Jinping, and Putin to discuss how they can get Zelensky to surrender. Donald Trump has huffed and he's puffed and he's tried to get all of eastern Ukraine to be transferred to Putin. Trump thought that his threats, whether it was the throttling of starlink or star shield would do the trick, shutting off the early warning alert systems to Zelensky would do the trick. Zelensky is not surrendering. He continues to strike oil refineries and infrastructure in Russia, most recently some of those strikes in St. Petersburg that we've been covering including another data center, including more oil depots over there. So Trump's like daddy Putin and daddy Xi, can you please help me out? They're trying to do a meeting in November. And this is on top of the fact that Donald Trump announced the oil deal with Putin, that Donald Trump, according to Karel Demetriyev, whose Putin's envoy to the United States and sovereign wealth fund leader says that they are talking about uranium deals and more potash and fertilizer deals and data center deals. Now we're going to hold these deals together and maybe they're going to sell their Russian luke oil foreign assets to Trump regime backed mega billionaires right there. By the way, the American people are absolutely livid at this Donald Trump's approval continues to hit record lows, millions of people showed up to the no kings protests across the country, even when you had the oligarchs like meta and others trying to shut down on social media, the videos and images of these protests that were taking place throughout the United States peaceful protests. I might ask too much for meta apparently. The Midas Touch Network was the first to break the story about how Instagram meta took down the no kings protest and the no kings account. It was eventually restored. meta said, I was just there was so much traffic that it broke the algorithm. Got it. That's what happened. All of these data centers that you're putting in people's backyards and destroying the environment and crushing communities. But the no kings protest broke the data center and broke the algorithm. And so that's why the no kings account got shut down. We don't see like during the Super Bowl, the NFL account gets shut down. That doesn't overwhelm the database. Okay, sure, sure, sure. In any event, the no kings account has been restored. Look folks, we've been covering here in the Midas Touch Network Donald Trump's abject weakness causing war throughout the world. We've talked about Trump and Netanyahu's catastrophic war in the Middle East, how the catastrophic war in Iran expanding to a broader regional war. We've been covering here how Netanyahu is threatening that he wants to reescalate the war with Iran with Donald Trump, perhaps even before the Israeli and United States elections taking place. Israel's elections coming up soon. Netanyahu is trailing Donald Trump and MAGA. They're getting destroyed. Even more day by day in the polling before the midterms here looks increasingly likely that Democrats will take both the House and the Senate. So Trump and Netanyahu are looking for some national security incident. Netanyahu addressed the United States after Donald Trump gave Netanyahu an endorsement yesterday. And Netanyahu is like, it is a small price to pay that gas prices and diesel prices are high. Just thank Donald Trump Americans that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon because it would be so much worse for you if they had a nuclear weapon. Donald Trump saved dues. Netanyahu addressing the American. Why are you addressing the American? It's like, this is why you'll need to re-go into war with Israel against the Iranian regime. Dude, just stop it. So you have that. You have the war that Saudi Arabia and it's bringing in Egypt and now UAE and Pakistan and others against Ansarala, the Houthis and Yemen. That's escalating. We're following everything that's going on there. Obviously, Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to escalate over there. Ukraine striking back despite the Trump regime shutting down Ukraine or severely throttling Ukraine's access to starlink or star shield. Think about it like this, folks. The Russian drones travel about 450 kilometers per hour. The Trump regime capped Ukraine's usage of starlink so that Ukrainian drones at first could only travel 100 miles per hour and now it's a little faster than that. But we're talking about what way slower than drones actually travel. So Russia is able to easily intercept Ukrainian drones. Ukrainian drone interceptors don't work. This is in addition to the Trump regime shutting down the early alert system that comes from the US link satellite that Ukraine relied on to at least warn Ukraine when Russian ballistics would be striking. I mean, look, Trump's deprived Ukraine of interceptors, interceptor licenses, the ability to strike Russian ballistic missile launchers. And then on top of that, the Trump regime even cut off the early alert access for a number of days and still Zalinsky confirmed the Trump regime throttles the access to star shield or starlink for the Ukrainian drones. And then with all of that taken place, Trump's like, I need your help, Putin. I need your help. We've got to hold this summit together. Could we do more deals together? Right? Carill Dmitriyev as I noted earlier as well, announcing that there is more deals that the Trump regime's planning in addition to diesel. We're talking about fertilizers. We're talking about potash. We're talking about uranium. All these deals that Dmitriyev wants to do with the Trump regime. And you have Donald Trump's Oval Office. Have you seen this? Like right in the West Wing, the two main photos Donald Trump has mounted like the two most prominent photos Trump in Putin and Trump and Xi Jinping. This is the president of the United States. It pains for me to say that, but not only do you have these regional wars taking place across the world, you have protest everywhere across the world right now has Donald Trump's destruction of the post-World War Two architecture has caused chaos virtually everywhere. I mean, let's take a look right now. Let's zoom in on locations. Let's talk about Albania for a second, right? There you have Prime Minister Eddie Rama. He tried to work with Kushner and Ivanka Trump to give them the sazen islands. This beautiful protected island. It was part of a shady deal that Kushner worked out with like a corrupt gangster over there in Albania. And they want to turn it into this oligarch island. And the people were protesting with peaceful protests, peaceful protests. Those protests have turned violent against Eddie Rama. They want Rama to resign. The Supreme Court in Albania has burned down. It was set on fire. The Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed. The Prime Minister Eddie Rama is in hiding in Albania. Let's take a look at what went down in Albania the other day. Play this clip. These are the scenes from the streets of Albania as protesters clashed with police in Toronto in Albania demanding Eddie Rama resign. Play this clip. I'll show you over here as the people of Albania used a makeshift battering ramp to bust open the doors of parliament play this clip. And just look at some of these videos coming out of that Albanian protest over there. Let's play the protests are also spreading to Bogota, Colombia. You have a Trump's doge leading Columbia. Espreia, Albrado Espreia, Miami lawyer, who represented a lot of the narcos in Miami. He was the lawyer, Trump put this guy to basically lead Columbia. And he's been purging. He said, "I'm doing a war on wokeness." In addition to US troops over there, he's doing a war on wokeness, he says. And so they're gutting the museums of anything having to do with diversity, of aspects of Columbia and Heritage, that they view as too woke. And so people were peacefully protesting. And then Espreia, just like Trump and Maga, they sent the Gestapo over there, the military, basically, to attack the people who were peacefully protesting in Bogota, play this clip. (audience cheering) I'll show you what it looked like as well, as Espreia sent more military to attack peaceful protesters in Bogota escalating things in Columbia, play this clip. (audience laughing) And just so you can see for yourself, this is the president of Columbia using the kind of Maga script, if you will. We are going after woke. We're going after woke, play this clip. We'll turn our attention to France right now, as well, major protests taking place throughout France. Let me show you what the scenes looked like over there, play this clip. (audience cheering) I'll show you, that was in Montpellier. Let me show you what this looked like. This is the city hall in Lemouch, in France, where you had the historic city hall building that was built in 1883. That was burned to the ground here, play this clip. I could take you around the country right now, I mean, around the world, and you can see these scenes, you know, these protests are spreading everywhere right now. But let me show you something a little more positive, if you will. Let me show you B-roll right here. This is of the No Kings protests. This was being throttled and covered up by the oligarchs. Isn't it notable, as well, that the oligarchs with these all powerful algorithms, and their massive data centers that they say is infallible? But then, when they throttled, whether it's Starlink or Starsheel, preventing Zelinsky to be able to use drones, or whether they shut down the No Kings account, then they automatically say, I was just a glitch in the algorithm. It wasn't intentional. It was technical difficulties. That's what they do. That's the gaslighting that this oligarchs do. You know, Trump said, I didn't order that Starsheel do it. I didn't order it. And then you had what Treasury Secretary Bessente went on the various shows. Zelinsky better watch his mouth. How dare Zelinsky make these accusations again? How dare he? What do you mean how dare he? It's happening. They're not able to access, just own it. Like, in addition to the fact that this Trump regime are covering up child sex trafficking rings, and their treasonous traitorous assholes, excuse my language, they're all, they're also just pathetic. Like, dude, if you're gonna do it, if that's your plan, then freaking own it. You throttled it. Just say you're doing it and own it. But you're so scared. You're so scared. And that's why the Putin's and cheese and Kim Jong-lunes of the world see how utterly weak you are. I'll do another video of this as well. But everyone sees how weak the Trump regime is. I mean, in Iran, you had Iran's Parliament leader, M.B. Gala Baf says, you know what? We're gonna create, in addition to the Persian Gulf straight authority, P.G.S.A, that controls the straight of Hormuz and they're hurting more tankers every day. It's like, yeah, I could keep reporting another tanker was in another tanker. They had two more tankers yesterday, right? They're like, we're gonna create a data center authority. And if the Trump regime's gonna start building data centers in the region and in the area, and all these Trump tech companies, we reserve the right to shut down data centers that are being used to fuel genocide or being used to attack Iran and to attack our interests. So in addition, though, to the B-roll, I wanted to show you there of the No Kings protests across the United States. Let me show you this. This is in Brazil as President Lula gathered a massive crowd at the Copa Cabana beach this afternoon. Play this clip. (audience cheering) - Or how about this moment during the debate between Flavio Bolsonaro, the Trump handpicked stooge of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro's guy's kid who wants to basically launder all the mega Netanyahu stuff into Brazil. I'll show you this moment during the debate. They have cool debates in Brazil where the people just stand, they walk right next to each other, and you had Bolsonaro say, why did 73% of prisoners vote for you? To which Lula responded, I want 100% of them to vote for me. Even your dad, your dad can vote for me. He knows you. He knows I'm better than you here. Let me just show you. I don't let him want to translate it because in its original form, it's so good here, play this clip. - Now, Senator Bernie Sanders posted, this is what billionaire ownership of media means. Mark Zuckerberg's meta shut down the Note Kings account for hours during the height of their protests. Metasuppressed accounts supporting Brazil, President Lula de Silva, in the recent election there. Yeah, Metasuppressed, the ability of Lula to reach people on social media algorithms. Larry Ellison's TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk. Fight back, defeat oligarchy, preserved democracy. And this is the interview that I did. This was the exclusive we broke this news where I interviewed Indivisible's head. And here's what Ezra Levin told me here, play this clip. - Ben, this is a really alarming situation and it's not resolved yet. It's still developing. I was just out at the third No Kings protest that I had been to today. It was joyful. It was powerful. There were people singing songs and waving banners, alerting the community that it's time to get out and vote. It's time to get ready to early vote. This is indeed the largest early vote effort in American history with more than 3,000 events all over the world this weekend. And in the middle of that joyful experience at the protest locally, I got word from my team that Mark Zuckerberg's meta had suspended the Instagram account for the No Kings Coalition. They suspended it. We didn't have access to it. We couldn't post to it. Nobody could go to the page. That was for about an hour and a half during the height of the mobilization while people were still getting their No Kings protest together. As I talked to you, there were people still pulling their No Kings protest together. But we can't access the account now. You can go to a public now, but we can't post. And despite us trying to get back access to it, while these mobilizations are going on, the No Kings Coalition has no access to the back end of that account. Look, this is strikingly reminiscent of what we saw in Brazil just this week. A court ruled against meta for favoring the authoritarians in that country. And we might be seeing something similar from meta in our country right now. But rest assured, we're not going to stop organizing. It's this regime. We're not going to stop organizing against this regime's collaborators on the outside. What we need is for everybody to raise the alarm. All pro-democracy Americans, all pro-no Kings Americans, they should be elevating what they see. They should be elevating the fact that there are indeed events still ongoing today in the No Kings Coalition all over the country. And they should be elevating the fact that meta is depriving No Kings of this platform at this crucial time. We're going to win. We're going to organize and we're not going to allow the fascists just to roll over. And with all of this going on as well, you have Donald Trump wanting to take his rage out on the trees in Washington DC, tearing to shreds, ripping to shreds, the cherry blossoms, the oak trees, the maples, all of the kind of, all of the beautiful trees in the East Potomac golf course, Trump's announced that he has a final plan to shut down the golf course, the public golf course, 'cause he wants to turn it into a Trump and Stein championship golf course for his rich friends. And that's what his one of his big focuses on after the Trump DOJ lawyers just told the federal judge the other day, there were no plans. So the case should be moot and thrown out with the plaintiffs suing to block the Trump regime for trying to destroy the golf course. The plaintiffs said we need you to block it. The court wanted to issue an injunction. Trump filed a motion to dismiss saying, we don't even have plans, but then Trump posted the plan. plans. And then the Trump DOJ was the federal judge after Trump posted the plans to destroy the golf course, even though they already ripped down all of the trees. After the DOJ said that there were no plans, the federal judge is like, "You told me two days ago there were no plans." Even though you then ripped up the trees four days before that. And you said that the case should be dismissed because there's no plans, but he just posted the plan. So what the hell is going on here? To which the Trump regime responded, "This is the DOJ's filing." We also respectfully note that the court's order mischaracterizes defendant, meaning the DOJ's position. Defendants, and this is United States Department of Interior as well. Defendants did not portend to represent the actual position or mental impressions of the president in arguing that no final agency action had occurred. Instead, commenting only on the president's publicly available statements, defendants presented an argument about what those statements might be evidence of. Defendants further maintain that any direct communication with the president would be protected by many constitutional-based privileges. Take a look at that word salad right there. I don't care what political party you're from whether you don't care or like politics at all. This is deranged pathetic weak behavior. They're saying, "We never told you what Trump actually was thinking. We told you based on what we suspected he might think what it was going to be. Turns out he thinks differently, but we were just guessing, but we can't tell you what he actually told us because that would be protected by a lot of privileges. So we, in other words, deceived you, judge, but we can't talk about what Trump's position was to us. So stop mist and then the sociopathic part, all of us. Stop mischaracterizing our position, judge. You're mischaracterizing what we're saying. The hell is even going on there. There you have it. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers, folks.
