Wise provides a transparent, global money management solution by offering competitive exchange rates and no hidden fees, empowering users to manage international finances effectively. In parallel, Donald Trump’s political campaign is marked by erratic behavior, including baseless promises of $5,000 checks to voters and public attacks on Republican allies like Tom Cotton, revealing a pattern of deception and disengagement. Meanwhile, global tensions escalate as Russia conducts drone strikes in Ukraine and Iran attacks tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global energy supply chains. U.S. military presence shifts in response, with carriers repositioning amid rising geopolitical risks. False claims by U.S. officials, such as Treasury Secretary Bessent, about Iran’s oil collapse are contradicted by real-world events, including the destruction of a major Saudi refinery. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues, with deadly Israeli airstrikes on civilian infrastructure. Amid these global crises, political figures remain entangled in misleading narratives, highlighting a disconnect between official rhetoric and reality. This environment underscores the need for financial transparency, global awareness, and accountability in both personal finance and public policy.

Donald Trump's Saturday is already off to an awful start after those pathetic events that he's held in Texas, Oklahoma, and then last night in Mobile, Alabama, reminding voters what an utter lunatic that he is this evening. He will be heading to Dayton, Ohio to bring his loser tour there. Maga Republicans are absolutely freaking out right now, as Donald Trump's approval continues to plummet to record lows, as Maga Republicans expect that this will be a historic wipeout in the midterms. This is what Donald Trump is posting Saturday morning. One of the first thing he posts, talk about desperate. If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections, I'm going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks really, Donald. You're still doing this. Just like the Doge dividend fraud and the tariff rebate fraud. This is your pitch to voters as you've destroyed their lives. Vote Republicans, and I'm going to give you money. I'm going to steal your lobes of bread. I'm going to dangle breadcrumbs, and then I'm not even going to give it to you, and I'm going to defraud you over and over again, rinse and repeat. Then Donald Trump said Republicans must win the 2026 midterm elections. It was post after post like this on his social media, and we must use every appropriate tool, whether you vote early, absentee, by mail, or in person, we must swamp the radical left dumbocrats with massive turnout. Ah, Donald Trump, who's trying to destroy mail in voting is now saying everybody needs to vote by mail, and we must swamp the dumbocrats, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. Then Donald Trump attacks, Maga Republican Tom Cotton from Arkansas, and he gives out Tom Cotton's cell phone. Take a look right there. Donald Trump writes, call Tom on his cell phone at 479 and let him know, what's Donald Trump so angry about this morning? Is he angry how he's getting played by Xi Jinping or Putin or Kim Jong-un who did more ballistic missile testing yesterday? Is he angry at the fact that his approval is collapsing? Is he angry at the fact that the treasury yields and the mortgage rates are surging to record highs and the, no, what's he angry about? Everybody in Arkansas, Tom Cotton, a friend of mine is holding up a very important bill. What is it to make housing more affordable? Is it to make people lives better? Is it a health care plan? No, no, no, it's called the Sunshine Protection Act, or we don't want to change our clocks twice a year act. For some reason, Tom is stopping the bill, and in the Senate, it's very easy to do. It only takes one. It should pass overwhelmingly. I mean, look, whatever y'all think about daylight savings and adjusting the clocks, the American people are suffering. It's existential right now, and so you're spending your Saturday morning attacking a Maga Republican Senator from Arkansas and giving out his actual cell phone number. By the way, I called the number and left a message for Senator Cotton. We'll see if he gets back to us at the Midas Touch Network. Now, while Donald Trump is ranting and raving like a lunatic, here's what's happening in the world. I want you to watch this insane close-up footage of a Russian drone strike on one of the main bridges in Kiev earlier. Now, we've been reporting on other strikes on some other bridges in Kiev. This one just happened recently, and this was Putin's plan. Basically, destroy all of the bridges, destroy the electric grid, destroy all of the power, and try to push everybody out of Kiev. Donald Trump did not provide the interceptors that Solinsky needed heading into the autumn and the winter offensive that Putin is planning, and Putin has developed these Garen-4, Garen-5, upgraded drones, and cruise missiles. And this was the plan we've been warning about. Watch what took place. Look at this insane close-up footage. Let's play it. In addition, we're seeing war throughout the world right now. If we take a look in the strait of Hormuz, there are reports this morning of explosions on Kesham Island in southern Iran reportedly coming from the direction of the sea. Is this the IRGC Navy targeting additional commercial vessels that are traveling? We know that about seven to eight tankers in the past few days have been struck in the strait of Hormuz, and may actually be more than that. The reporting by UKMTO is delayed, or in some cases, very delayed, where we're not really getting a good picture. Also, the Saudi civil defense force, which used to, and a lot of these Arab nations, defense forces, which used to provide, if there were attacks underway, they would provide notices. They're not providing notices anymore. And so there's almost a complete blackout of what's happening, but we're digging deep, looking at satellite footage, looking at heat sensor footage, we're looking at what local open source intelligence is gathering. And so we also found this footage showing the launch of an Iranian surface-to-air missile at an unknown aerial target over Kesham Island near the strait of Hormuz. According to unconfirmed reports, US fighter jets are conducting low altitude flights over the area over there. Pay close attention again, seven to eight tanker struck in the strait of Hormuz, as we reported earlier. There was an emergency meeting in Camp David, led by Vice President J.D. Vance yesterday, and they said, "We've made a decision, the Trump regime. We can't tell you what the decision is, but we've made a decision, everybody." By the way, and by the way, we know there's escalation in the sense that the USS Theodore Roosevelt is heading right now towards the Middle East. Notably, as well, though, as we're looking at the aircraft carriers in the by the strait of Hormuz, the USS George H.W. Bush appears to have retreated towards the Indian Ocean. We believe that may be heading to Thailand and leaving. You have the USS George Washington remaining, but it's pretty far out in the Arabian Sea. I mean, it's not all that close to the Gulf of Oman, which then leads to the kind of the strait of Hormuz area. And so now you have the USS Theodore Roosevelt heading there. We're paying close attention. There's some amphibious assault groups heading there as well, thousands of Marines heading there as well. We're paying close attention to what the escalation looks like. Remember, the Trump regime announced a tanker for tanker policy. They said if Iran strikes a tanker, we immediately will strike a tanker or something in Iran. Iran's hit eight tankers, okay? Seven to eight tankers that we know of in the past three days, there's been no response from the Trump regime. But we are seeing this. And this is a major development, a massifier at the Saudi Arabian Aramco refinery. Their main refinery in Riyadh. Take a look right here after a strike by Ansarala, the Houthis struck this major Aramco refinery in Riyadh. And again, we're not really getting any messages out of Riyadh that this is happening. But we can see video footage that's leaking out. Look at these storage tanks that were hit. Aramco in Riyadh is burning. That's their main refinery. And what this means as well is expect those prices of oil to continue to go up, expect the price that you're paying of diesel to go up, expect the price of gas to go up as well. But Donald Trump's out there posting, reposting this. I am in tears. President Trump just walked out to a huge crowd of New York police officers chanting USA USA USA with massive standing ovation. Make America safe again. You weren't in New York, bud. You were in Oklahoma. Last night, you were in Alabama the day before you were in Texas in Oklahoma. What do you mean? New month ago, you were in front of Nassau County police officers or a little longer than that, where the Maggar Republican Nassau County executive had the police officers go on duty and stand. Is that what you're referring to? What do you mean? The New York police officers were chanted? What are you talking about? Meanwhile, as we see what else is going on, let's talk about what Pete Hegsiff was saying earlier. And all he does now, I guess, is he just does these Trump impressions. Watch what Hegsiff had to say. You're play this clip. You said to me when he offered me
this job. He said to me, he said, bring him back to being warrior speed. I want warriors, not worksters. It was actually quite simple. And then I was mentioning JD Vance before. So in JD Vance's loser tour where he's traveling the country, he's been getting heckled everywhere he goes. He speaks in front of very small rooms. I want to show you the camera angle that we had earlier in the week when he got heckled. You really couldn't see what the heckler was saying to JD Vance. So let me show you what it actually looked like here. Play this clip. I'm excited for the $5,000 check from President Trump when he releases the FST files. Thank you so much President Trump. That guy, you know, he pretends like he broke out into the emotional process. He made sure to bring a cell phone at the end of the phone. Ladies and gentlemen, that guy was nothing more. And then you have Treasury Secretary Bessent out there still doing the same propaganda. Iran's going to fall. You'll see this week is the first week. They're not going to have any oil at all. Watch what Treasury Secretary Bessent has to say. You're going to play this clip. The isolating them economically like this never happened before. You know, right now the score turns a barrels out of the straight US about 1.1 billion around zero for the first time in history. Since they started pumping oil, they will have no oil on the water this week. They will have no revenues more from Treasury Secretary Bessent, right? I mean, this is the guy, you know, who said in April that Iran was going to blow up because the blockade was so effective that the the oil pipes would explode. And Iran was going to give up. Let me show you what else Treasury Secretary Bessent had to say here. Play this clip. What will happen? We will get to the other side of this Iran conflict. I think oil is going to be more well supplied. I think we're going to be much lower. Wage gains will keep coming because we are having a manufacturing renaissance. And then more from Treasury Secretary Bessent over here. Let's play this clip. The financial times probably your favorite paper said Bessent fails to break fever in US bond market. What did you learn from that? Well, I learned that the financial times is anti-American, anti-business. And they they have a fever. They're constantly trying to create a problem for the US. But let's leave that disgrace publication one on a side. I'm going to do a video a little later on this this morning. Jared Kushner has been taking to social media to wine that people are criticizing his business dealings. And while that's going on, this is what the New York Times was reporting this morning. US Russia talks on Ukraine now involve an oil deal tied to Trump allies. Vladimir Putin brought up a sale of Russian energy assets with Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcoff. And so what was being proposed by Putin is a multi-billion dollar deal for Luke oil, the Russian oil companies, international assets where one of Trump's preferred oligarchs would be involved in this deal with also people in the Middle East who Jared Kushner has business dealings with as well. And that this is how Putin is approaching these discussions dangling business deals in front of Trump and dangling business deals in front of Jared Kushner. And I want to leave this video though by showing you this because I think it's important that we never forget what's taking place in Gaza still on a day to day basis as Jared Kushner tries to act like things are fine and everything's amazing. The genocide still continues. Let's take a look at what happened over here overnight and Israeli air strike on a Gaza city apartment killed at least five Palestinians and severely wounded six other medical staff said the building was struck without warning while residents were asleep causing damage across multiple floors as rescue crews search for people under the rubble. Let me show you what took place. Let's play. There's one in the middle of the war. This is the building. It's called the "Sakiniha" and the "Srabikanzar". I'm going to show you what happened. There you have it everybody. Let me know what you're thinking, kids subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. We appreciate you for watching.
