Welcome to Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Myceles and this is your breaking news. And folks, I just want to say at the outset, I certainly understand that these are incredibly difficult times. And I know sometimes when we report on breaking news, maybe sometimes it feels cold, it feels detached from your experience. And so I want to acknowledge that the very outset, when we talk here about the surging price of gas, the surging price of diesel, when we talk about the per price of barrel of crude, whether it's WTI or Brent, when we talk about this catastrophic war in Iran, when we talk about affordability and the cost of living, I understand that behind this screen or phone or if you're listening to this on audio, you know, beaming into your headset, I understand that there are people behind this and we're experiencing this together. And this wrecking ball that is the Trump regime, what is first and foremost in my mind, not in a political way at all, frankly, because whether you're a Democrat, independent, Republican or whatever, I understand that you're suffering. And that's not hyperbolic. This is a form of psychological torture. That's not hyperbolic. I understand that you're experiencing that. And so I can control what I can control and that's about it. And so I just want you to know that behind these breaking news stories, behind the reporting that we do, as we build out this network, first and foremost, it's about you. And I want to let you know that I'm going to do everything I can to report accurately, to lead the news cycle with the truth, to build out independent media because this is a fight for the people. This is a fight with the people. And you have the Trump regime as Trump was bragging about yesterday on social media post late into the night, focused on turning the White House into a palace, words that Donald Trump used, turn it into a palace while the people are suffering. You know, they talk about Nero playing the fiddle as Rome burned. You have Donald Trump taking, he's not even playing the fiddle. He's out there sure he's playing golf or cheating in golf while our country burns. But these are grim and serious times. And the Trump regime and their propaganda network, they did everything in their trillion dollar playbook with all that right wing disinformation money to scare everybody about bite in this and bite in that, and all of the things it turned out to be projection. It's the exact things that they're doing, whether it's covering up the Epstein files, getting the United States into wars everywhere, whether it is being the deep state, right? I mean, the Trump regime, MAGA influencers, a lot of them are feds and they turn out that they're secret feds, they're the deep state. All of the stuff that they've been doing is projection and confession. And so I just wanted to take the time in the outset to let you know we're fighting for you. Also, at the outset, this is my view of the opposition party, whether they're Democrat or, you know, what an opposition party needs to be doing where you have an authoritarian regime like this. What we saw today in the Senate and the House is what oversight could actually look like, right? This is why MAGA Mike Johnson, and this is why the MAGA Republicans in the Senate didn't want to work during this Trump term, because that would mean Congress's in session, and then you would get Trump regime officials who would be called, and they would be cross-examined, and they wouldn't be on their propaganda networks. They would be cross-examined by members of Congress. And we saw what that looked like today. We'll go over that in this episode. When Cash Patel was cross-examined, how awful he was when Treasury Secretary Besend was cross-examined in the House, how awful it was. And here on the Midas Touch Network, we're going to show you the clips of what happened. So you can see it for yourself. And again, my view, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, independent, whatever, we need to be talking about core values and principles right and wrong. That's what has been lost in all of this gamified reality style coverage of politics. When you turn it into a game in a reality show, what do you get? A reality show president, except one that is completely dystopian and chaotic and all over the place and unqualified. Right. An evil, demonic. That's why we talk about core values and principles. Why are we covering this? It's not to aimlessly root for the donkey or the elephant. It is to bring in people to fight for us, not take from us. The example I've given is this Trump regime takes our loaf of bread. They then dangle breadcrumbs. And then they don't even give us the breadcrumbs. And then they laugh at us while they pile up the loaves of bread. I care what political party you're from. That's not okay. We should all be against that. And I often get asked, Ben, what's your view on this political messaging or that? I said, wrong guy. I'm not political messaging guy. I'm news guy. Okay. But I say this, heading into this election, it's not about political messaging. It's about lived experience. If you lived the experience that most Americans did and you're okay with the behavior of this Trump regime and what was inflicted upon you, there's nothing I'm going to be able to do to message you to change your mind at this point. What Trump has unleashed is hell, objectively in my view, in every aspect, from the economy to Epstein, it's been hell to war, every aspect of it. It's been hell. If you think this is the golden age, truly, spin that somewhere else. I have no interest in debating you. I have no interest in talking to you. I have no interest in wanting you to even watch this. Yeah, you're lost. And I wish you the best in whatever you perceive life to be about, which is apparently you being treated like shit. I'm not going to be able to get through to you. If you want a government not to inflict things upon you, but to do things to help you and to not be involved in never ending wars and to be transparent, then you probably look at this lived experience as it being hell. And as you look to the alternatives out there, this is why I say, if the year of the opposition, you're not going to do deals with the devil. You're not going to do deals with demonic people. You're not going to do deals with evil. You can't make a good deal with bad people. So if you're the opposition, just don't even go, oh, we're going to try to do this or that and see if we can bring this. Just say, no, say, we're not doing deals. We're not. You can't do a deal with Trump. Look what he's doing to Canada. He's sociopathic. Look what he's doing at the Kennedy Center. He's sociopath. He's a lunatic. He's a psycho. You can't do. You can't speak rationally to this people and the people who said that they're truthfully. If it turned out that they were actually demonic people, like if you actually did the big Scooby-Doo reveal and you took off their terrestrial bodies and demons popped out of it. Well, that made sense. Got it. Like I wouldn't, I wouldn't be like, whoa. And look, I'm being a little bit, you know, that liberty with my words here, but the way they behaved is pure evil. Pure evil. So you can't, we can do deals with them. No. Foshtey and bargains. No. What you just have to say is this, ruthless and relentless oversight. And every day, we will report back to the American people about what we've accomplished on the oversight front and we will do a daily oversight brief from judiciary to the House Oversight Committee to agriculture to housing to foreign affairs to national intelligence. We will then report back to you and we will keep a record. We will keep a record so that in the future, there is accountability, even where the executive branch refuses to take care that laws are faithfully executed, you see. If you're running for office in 2028 and your position is not and on day one, you will rip down.
everything that has Trump's name on it, you are disqualified. Goodbye. You're not I know. No, no, no, no, no. On day one, on live TV, the bulldozers move in and destroy it all. The ballroom, the arch, all this shit down, bulldozed, on live TV, day one, if that is not something that you're willing, you're not qualified to run in this environment. Get the hell out. This isn't a time. No, no, no, no, that's what happens on day one broadcast live while the people in this country rejoice. That's the moment that we are facing right now. It's like a Saddam Hussein moment in many ways in terms of the authoritarian regime that has inflicted so much pain. The statues come down. The name goes down. That's what needs to happen. You know, Biden was Kumbaya, Kumbaya, through wait, wait, three years. You saw how that happened. You saw how you see how evil percolates. It's not just rooted here in the United States. These are international forces. You understand? You're national. It's rooted in this Trumpism. What we saw with the Orbans, to the Trumps, what you see in the new leadership in Colombia, what you see in the Netanyahu regime, what you see in Ecuador, Nabooa, what you see in El Salvador. That's what you are seeing. It combines Argentina, Malay, I can keep going. You get it. Get the point. These are international forces and it's not a shocker. When you see the Saudi Arabian royal family on the ropes right now, as Uncerala the Houthis are making massive gains in Yemen, taking over all of Western Yemen and not just moving east as they head to Aden and some of these other cities and not just striking the refineries in Yambu, Western Saudi Arabia, Abkiyak, Eastern Saudi Arabia, but the very foundation of the Saudi monarchy, the Jordanian monarchy. These royal families in the Middle East are now in doubt. The people are looking at them and saying, "Got it. This is just a way to aid in a bet, Trump. Aid in a bet, Netanyahu, right? I mean, what meeting is taking place over the past 48 hours in Saudi Arabia. It's Netanyahu Masad. It's like not being conspiratorial. It's what's happening. It's Senkham, Netanyahu, Saudi Arabia because it's existential for MBS. You see the security architecture that was built in the region is rooted in that dynamic for an MBS, from a royal family. MBS is like Don Jr. Right? These royal families, they're like Eric and Don and Baron. That's who we're dealing with. Of course, they flock to each other. The question is, when you see the Saudi PLC forces or this or that, what are they fighting? Are they ultimately fighting for Netanyahu? This is what they're asking. This is the dynamic. This isn't me being hyperbolic. This is an objective reality that's on the ground. If you're the PLC forces, you are fighting for the royal family. Right? And Netanyahu and Trump. That's a hard sell. Maybe it was less hard of a sell when the US projected strength in the region. The US didn't have a lunatic psychopath. This isn't always just rooted in Trump. I'll be clear. You go back. There's a history here that we need to be profoundly aware about as well. But now seeing Donald Trump reveal that the US loses in a war to Iran. Everything's now starting to fall apart. And that trickles that trickles into the US economy. Right? One of the main reasons the Houthis are booing right now is they go look, Iran, who we're allied with, beat the United States. Saudi Arabia gets its weapons from the US. The US is out of munitions. Okay. We feel that we will call their bluff and call their bluff they did when on Sirala entered into mocha and some of the other areas it turned out that MBS was bluffing. He said that there were 80% more troops than that were actually there is what on Sirala discovered. And right now what we're seeing is Saudi Arabia and Netanyahu sent calm planning, plotting, sharing intelligence, not conspiratorial. This is what they're saying they're doing. Okay. Like this is what's happening and they're desperately trying to stop the Houthis advance right now. And the Houthis have been striking in Yambu, Western Saudi Arabia, in Abkiyak, Eastern Saudi Arabia, in Abha, slightly up the coast in Saudi Arabia as well. Those refineries are badly damaged. East West pipeline not looking good. Right? A lot of the pumping stations destroyed. Europe just found out they ain't getting their oil deliveries. I hope you didn't think when I was saying these things a few months back. I was being hysterical or hyperbolic. I was trying to warn about these things. And this isn't a spike the football moment. Go back to how I started this episode. There's real suffering amongst the people, not just here in the United States abroad. And it was avoidable suffering. You know, often economic crises sometimes evolve over time when the pipes and the plumbing of the economy have a blind spot. And it's not the fault always of the people in charge. They have to respond and react to it. This issue has purely been caused by Donald Trump. And sadly, it's the perfect storm. His tariffs and trade wars against the world. His erosion of U.S. credibility, destruction of credibility of the United States as a reliable, predictable, grown-up, serious actor. It's a big problem when you lose the status of being viewed as serious. When you're viewed as a clownish nation, when you're viewed as like, I don't mean this to disparage developing nations because developing nations often behave in their national interests to try to become a developed nation. But the U.S. is behaving as like a, you know, it's hard to even think of the example of like a weird developing authoritarian nation that behaved because they would implode in on itself right now. But you have the catastrophic wars. You have the botched memorandum of understanding that the Trump regime breached and violated the MOU. We have the tariff and trade wars against the world. And you see everything right now is a wreck. And it's all falling apart before our eyes right now. We're seeing it happen in real time. Countries are pulling their money out of the bond markets here in the United States to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. The treasury yields are continuing to rise and rise and rise and rise. A mortgage right now, 30 year fix, 7.17% homes are unaffordable. Everything is unaffordable right now here in the United States. Gas and diesel, surging to record highs. And I'm not, I'm not sipping for oil execs. So please don't misconstrue this. But the top oil execs, they themselves are saying, we're past the point of no return. And there's no way to unwind what's been unleashed. We will suffer cataclysmic shortages. That's what's going to happen. And meanwhile, Donald Trump is out there saying, look at my Venezuela deal. Look, I get to steal their resources. I get to steal their assets notably when treasury secretary Besson was cross examined. We'll show you this later on about Venezuela. I can't tell you where the money is. The treasury secretary wouldn't answer where the money is where the money flows are. Right. You had a congressman ask, well, Trump says that we brought in 13 billion dollars. Who's the we? Where is it? I can't answer that. I can't answer that. There's Cotari bank accounts where a lot of this
money is going. But that amount of money stolen from Venezuela, it's not additional money. It's not like Venezuela has produced more oil than it did last year. It's about the same, about the same, the people of Venezuela still suffer and Trump lies and says, "Ah, we did the 65 billion barrels of oil deal. We're going to fill up our salt caverns here in the strategic petroleum reserve." That's happening. It's not happening. It's not happening. So when you lie and claim you talk to the Houthis and you don't, you lie and claim you talk to Iran and you don't, you claim that the salt caverns are going to be filled with the sour, viscous, dense, Venezuela and oil that hypothetically may be refined in 10 years. That's a lie. It's all a lie. And shame on the people who were complicit in this when you knew this was a lie, when you knew this is a lie. And so here we are. 24 hours away where almost certainly we're going to see a major fed rate hike tomorrow when we should have had three rate cuts, almost certainly the coming months ahead. Look grim. And that's why I start this episode in a little bit of a different way around it. Breaking news. You need to have grim times. These are grim, grim, grim times because we don't have serious human beings behaving, well, if they're not, they're not able to behave seriously. But our country isn't behaving as a serious country. And that's not a democratic position. I don't think I've said, I think I made this point on the show I do with the brothers. I don't think I've made any political points. The Democrats, I just lately, I just don't think at all. That's not what you come to the minus touch network for. This is facts. This is just facts. And it's sickening to me to see this behavior. I mean, what we'll talk about in a moment. But when Donald Trump lost in front of the Supreme Court, which blocked his scheme to have the U.S. Postal Service, create a new system for collecting state ballots for the upcoming elections that would have to use a Trump barcode with a Trump voter list. States rights, huh? We can use the Postal Service to Trump states rights, freaking Postal Service, to destroy our ability to deliver mail when it comes to ballots with Trump barcodes. But how did he behave when he lost? The Democrats and these are the people that I interviewed. And they're so mean to me. When I went, just stop, man. Again, I don't understand the behavior setting aside the policies are cruel. The behaviors that of a loser, it's loser behavior. That's the thing. We know we shouldn't want whatever political party you are, the QB of the country to behave like a loser. You know how winners behave? When you lose, you accept it. You are gracious. You win some, you lose some. You handle it with humility. You don't boast or brag. You do public service for the public. That's what we should do. That shouldn't be a democratic point or a Republican point. So shame on these Republicans. If we were in normal times, he would be impeached and convicted. You know, what we had during Nixon was at least Republicans who stood up and said, "You know what, that's wrong." And right now, we don't. And we don't because that was part of the plan. The plan was, and this was hatched by Roger Al's and others, create a right-wing propaganda environment to insulate the next Nixon. Well, you got someone a thousand times more dangerous and dumber than Nixon. And this plan over 40 years that metastasized has shielded this from the right amount of scrutiny. While you have the other media and institutions, we're like, "Oh, what do we do here?" All Democrats and Republicans and elections. It's like, "Oh, man, this is existential guy." This is existential. This isn't political. This isn't Tansuit, Spell Potato. This isn't those days. This isn't, "Oh, Romney, he had a dog on the roof." Oh, Obama said this in the debate. This isn't that. This isn't that. This is the survival of our country. That's what this is about. When we come back, we're going to talk about what happened in these hearings today. I'll show you what went down during the hearing of Cash Patel. I'll show you what went down during the hearing of Besson. We'll talk about this. By the way, have you got your copy of WTF America? It's the book I wrote with my brothers. It comes out October 20. Pre-order it right now. The pre-order momentum is great, but we have to keep on growing it. It's not an election book. It's what I've been saying. How do we get out of this hell generationally? How do we look at things internationally? How do we look at things from core values and principles? Don't look at me. Not the political messenger. I'm not an activist. Don't look at me like that. You're looking for that. I'm not that guy. That's not what I'm going to do. I'm not going to blind these people for this guy. That's not what I I'm not there. That's not what I'm looking to do. I'm looking to establish values and principles that we fight for as Americans and as citizens of the world. Let's take our first break of the show. If we can't take a break. Life insurance.

Resorption company is designed to support satiety, thermogenesis and metabolic health while also helping to reduce the absorption of fats and carbs. It's a science-backed approach for people looking to support their goals without going to the extremes. See, a supplement can only work at the level your body absorbs it. We spend so much time talking about ingredients, dosages and wellness trends, but absorption is the factor that determines whether any supplement can actually deliver results. The absorption company is bringing a science-first approach to the supplement industry with advanced delivery technologies designed to increase bioavailability at a pharmaceutical grade level. The absorption company is singularly focused on solving the biggest problem in supplements, low absorption. Most supplements absorb at less than 16%, meaning over 84% of the supplements we take are completely wasted. 77% of Americans take supplements daily, and we spend about 60 billion dollars per year on supplements, yet over 95% of us are still nutrient deficient. The supplements we're taking every day do not absorb well enough to work. The absorption company uses cutting edge technologies to make supplements with pharmaceutical grade absorption up to 149 times better than standard supplements. Absorption is one of the things that affects all others. No matter how powerful vitamin D, magnesium, COQ-10, or any other supplement could be, it only works if it absorbs. Whether you're looking for a WLP-1, magnesium, Burbine, COQ-10, or dozens of other science-backed supplements, start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

Welcome back to Ben on Breaking News. Thank you to our sponsors. They help support the show, support our sponsors. I'm just looking at some of these, you know, Trump posts today. I mean, again, and I'm thinking about how you at home may be opening up your fridge and saying, "It's empty," or "What do I do?" I don't have the ability to go see a doctor right now because the MagiRepublican shut out the critical subsidies or they've attacked my Medicaid or they've made it impossible for me to access health care while Donald Trump says, "I reduce drug prices by 600% and by 800% or we have a new health care plan. We're going to get rid of insurance and give you $2,000." It's always that. We're going to give you money
and it's like, stop, no one likes insurance industry, okay, we get it. That's why when we talk about single payer, we talk about risk pools and enlarging risk pools so that we understand the basis of insurance is that people who are healthier, while they're healthier, can help people who are sicker, while they are sicker, and people who are healthier, guess what happens occasionally or more than occasionally, they can get sick. And so they can enter a risk pool that they didn't realize they were going to be in. So the idea of a single payer system is you enlarge a risk pool and you can make insurance more affordable and there's ways that especially we've seen where our government can cover it or make it as cheap as possible, as cheap my view as it should all be free. And I think it could easily be paid for. We spent trillions of dollars on catastrophic wars where we ran out of munitions. We've given tax cuts to billionaires and we've given them deductions to buy sports teams and private jets and all of this. And I think that rich people should be taxed more. I don't think it's got to be, I mean, like, you know, it doesn't have to be 40% more. We could have discussions on what it is, right? But let's just assume rich, you know, and by rich people, you know, we can have discussions about what defines that to be clear. But, you know, people, I think there should be no debate that people who are making tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars to billions of dollars should pay more. We could have intelligent conversations of what that looks like, right? Because they're getting exemptions everywhere. They're getting sports team exemptions. I talked about that in the last episode. You know, they can fully deduct over the 10-year period the value of their sports team while the asset appreciates. Just go and think about that. While they then prohibit Macklemore from saying free Palestine and exercising his free speech rights while they're able to deduct the value of their sports team and take advantage of appreciation and then take out loans against the value of their teams, which they don't have to pay taxes on. So they could pay a little more taxes, yes. And they can still have 20 mansions and four or five private planes and yachts. It's not going to change their life. Who needs all of that? So I mean, truly, who needs all of that? And that doesn't even satiate them. They want to see you suffer. It's them relative to you. And unless you are begging it in pain, then they're not even happy with all the wealth they have. So in any event, we have more than enough money to pay for free healthcare many times over. It's easy. It's not a debate. I'm not even here to debate you on it. It's so obvious. It's so obvious. And what? What do we learn today? That three billion more dollars is going right now to Netanyahu for five thousand pound bombs to drop on little children in Gaza, to drop on people in Lebanon or families that are celebrating weddings in Iran. That's where we learn more more money, more money going over there enough. Enough. I'm a $2.8 billion sale of 40,000, 2,000 pound bombs, the largest single sale of conventional explosive ordinances from the U.S. in modern history. This is what we're doing right now. While my fellow Americans can't afford to fill up their car, this is what we're doing right now. As ranchers are going bankrupt as farmers are going, this is what we're doing. What the hell is this? That's why the book's called W. What the F? What the F is this? This is crazy. This is crazy business. While the Mad King, Ranson Raves online, the board of the Kennedy Center today agreed almost unanimously to close the building for safety reasons and so that it begins the process of reconstruction, the closing will take place immediately. However, the renovation and reconstruction, which is a very large and complex job, cannot begin until such time as the DC Circuit rules on the board's approved name. If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be and is not overturned by the Supreme Court, the reconstruction and renovation will not take place for the Kennedy Center. The attorneys from the DOJ will ask for an expedited appeal. In the meantime, $17 million raised by Donald Trump has been put into the Kennedy Center account to keep it afloat. Thank you for your attention to this matter. You need to put your name on the, you're like a sicko, man. You're like a true fucking sicko. Excuse my language. It's just your sick, like you are a fucking sicko. Again, excuse my language again. I don't like to curse, but what the hell is this? Demented shit. What is this? My name has to go. So excuse me that I don't want to have debates with the lunatics that say stupid shit like this. I'm done with them. I really am. If this is the America you want, then have at it. Syria, if this is what you want, that Trump's name is the thing that he's thinking about while he's covering up the Epstein files and while everybody in this country is suffering, that's what you really want. Go fuck yourself. Seriously, seriously, I don't have time for you. I'm not lying. You see these people, these little weasels debating. And I give, by the way, credit to people who want to debate them, you know, go go debate them. Have fun, you know, with it. But what are you going to say to these people? I don't know who won the 2020 election. I don't know. I don't know who won on Joe Biden got sworn in. Oh, I got sworn in, but I don't know who I just shut up. Shut up. Shut up. And these people are causing the destruction of our country. We used to be able to have rational conversations and talk to each other like grownups. And this whole Trump weird magnum mutation of this has prevented adult educated conversations. Let's behave like grownups, please. Thing also, if this was working, you know, you'd be like, whoa, we did bring in $20 trillion, except we didn't. Our debt has increased to over $40 trillion. Our deficit has hit record highs. We didn't bring in the money. It just more lies. If it actually brought down the treasury yields, and people could all of a sudden afford homes, I'd be like, I'd be damned. Some crazy shit, but it worked. I, you know, I'm wrong. I got to have it tweeting memes and posting Carg Island being blown up in AI and sending weird posts about yourself and George Washington, you know, I don't know. We're playing on horses together. Oh, you know what? There's a method to it. But it didn't. That's why I say this isn't a political messaging. How would you massage this? If you tell people this, 2.5 points to the, to the Democrat, we talk, these people, they've destroyed our country. It's literally in the destroyed right now. And this isn't a talking point. This is literally what we have. This is a shared experience. So that's what I say to you. That's my message. You're either living in this world, or you want to die, or you're part of a death call. I can't, if you've loved this period of time, I'm fantastic. Have that whatever weird world you want. But it's a pretty sick one. It's a pretty freaking sick one, by the way. You know, otherwise what do you post? Everybody knows that Crooked Joe Biden's FBI didn't do what they should have with respect to the lunatic who shot me in Butler. By the time I got into office on January 20th, most of the information was missing. Altered, corrupted, or gone. It's all gone, everybody. Who would have thought it's gone? New info was just found. Why wasn't it seen long ago? This was a Democrat plot to get me out of the, the Democrats tried to kill me, everybody. They tried to kill me. I swear. We do in here. Why don't you release your medical records? Or was that destroyed too? You could release the Butler Pennsylvania, so we could understand how was it that an AR-15 bullet hit your face? And then poof, it disappeared. It just nicked it. We all know when it comes to AR-15 bullets hitting faces, pretty logical explanation that it just like grays release your Butler medical records. Trump had to be sued by his own former top legal advisors. Remember that guy, Tom Fitton? You know the guy, the guy who wears the tightest shirts, Tom Fitton? Remember Tom Fitton, the ridiculous ridiculous. Tom Fitton was Trump's guy, Tom Fitton from judicial watch in his super tight shirt, had to sue Donald Trump to try to get Butler records and Trump redacted the hell out of him. He had to be sued by his own legal
advisor and Trump didn't produce it. He's covered it up like the Epstein files and produced your medical records, please. It's like that's how AR-15 bullets work. They hit you in the face. Cool, that's it. It doesn't, it's just like, boom, bounces back. It's like a wildie coyote, you know, explanation for the F-15 pilot. You saw the story on 60 minutes. He fell from the sky, going a hundred miles per hour. Terminal velocity. Hit the ground. Smack. Got up. Ouch. Ouch. That hurt. Where do I go? Where do I go? My name is dude Bravo. That's what they say. Dude Bravo. Where do I go? Where does dude Bravo go? A ledge. A ridge. Is it there? Yes, it's in the distance. 5, 10, 15 miles away. That hurt. Ouchy. But I'm going to go there to the ridge. By the way, I'm 51 years old. Not sure if you saw what I looked like. I'm not going to tell you what my name is. I'm 51. Yeah, I'm running. I did hit the ground at terminal velocity, but cool. Okay, there's the ridge. I'm going to climb it. I'm going to climb 7,000 feet. I did it. I did it. I'm up. There they are. They rescued me. Dude Bravo. God rescued. We did it. And then I'm going to do an interview with 60 minutes, and I'm going to look perfectly fine. Come on. Just stop the stupid shit. Just stop it. Whatever happened. Just let me know what happened where you're trying to go into the Ishtahan nuclear facility, and did it not work out? Did the CIA have to do some deal and pay off the local Iranians to get him back? What are you doing? What really happened? Just let us know. Stop with the cover-ups, like the Epstein files. Just tell us what happened. It is what I don't need to hear. Trump go, you crane agreed to a deal. And they're going to stop shooting the Russian refineries. And then Zelensky posts. No, we didn't agree to that. We didn't do that. And it didn't happen. What we said was if Russia stops attacking our infrastructure, we'll stop attacking their infrastructure. That's what happened. I did a deal. And then you have, do we have the clip of NATO ambassador? He's out there saying, he's saying the reason that diesel is surging right now. The reason diesel is surging. It's because Ukraine's striking all of the refineries. That's what's happening right now. Let's play this clip of the US ambassador to NATO, let's play it. Certainly taking capacity out of the global energy markets, like is what happened as Ukrainian strike. Russia has put pressure on diesel and oil generally. And that war needs to end. And President Trump is absolutely right that the 30,000 people that are dying every single month or more on the battlefield needs to end. It is really a war that is so you promised that you were going to solve it though. Was the plan. Remember what Trump said? I know the perfect words. I know what I'm going to tell Zalinsky. I know what I'm going to tell Putin. That's what he said in 2024 during election. I can't tell you what these perfect words are. But the words they're so perfect that it'll end the war. So I've got a plan. In fact, I'll end the war in 24 hours after the election. And I'm going to cut electricity prices by half after the election. Gas is going to go down to $2 a gallon. Groceries are going to be affordable. There's going to be no more never-ending wars. But I also assure you 24 hours, perfect words. Zalinsky and Putin will say, "Got it." Donald, what words? Those are great words. So I guess we're going to stop this war. And then you saw I did my Jared Kushner impression the other day, which I can do my Kushner impression. But I really don't want to do that. I'm not feeling it right now. Do it and you can watch it. But Kushner is like, so it seems the issue, just what he said at a Yalta conference, the other day. It seems like what the issue is. If Ukraine agrees to Russia's non-negotiables, then the war ends. But you see, Zalinsky doesn't want to agree to it. And I just see that Putin doesn't want to agree to Zalinsky's terms. And so I think that's, we have to be mindful of this as mediators. Really as mediators? What you discovered mid-September, 2026, is that the core issue of a war is that one side wants to take over the other side. And the other side doesn't want to be taken over. And thus that's the tension in the way that you've uncovered. You've uncovered the essence of what war is. Great war, Kushner. It's like, do we really need dumb and dumber to be involved in this? It's just, it's stupid, Bill. It is stupid, Bill. All the while you have the MAGA Republicans out there saying things are great, things are amazing. I'll show you with Tom Emmer, MAGA Republican Congress member. He's in the leadership of the MAGA's. Here's what he said about affordability. He said affordability. That's such a loaded word. It's like Democrats are using it to cherry pick. Things are great. This is what MAGA's closing messages to voters. Things are great. Okay, you're gonna play this clip. And I'll tell you what, we're not all the way there yet, John. There are challenges in the economy, but here's, here's the thing. There's a ton of good news going on. I mean, it's, they choose the word affordability in my humble opinion because it's just another word for the economy. The election is always about the economy. And in this case, you pick affordability because you can now pluck out the trees that you want to focus on. We're going to focus on gas prices. I'm probably the best thing that they can focus on. Why? Because we don't fill our tank every day, but we do drive by that sign every day, John. So we're reminded regularly. And by the way, it really doesn't help to tell them that it doesn't help to tell us what things are great. I mean, what do you want to tell us? What do you want to tell us, dude? What are you doing? Like, so what are you doing? Okay, things are grim and they're getting grimmer by the day. That's just the reality. That's not a democratic or Republican or independence or reality that the American people are facing right now. And it didn't have to be this way. It didn't have to be this way. You want to criticize Biden? Go and criticize him. They lost. He dropped out. Well, Biden dropped out. So under your logic, Trump should jump out, right? Now, I personally believe a lot of Biden's policies created the conditions to get us out of the mess that Trump created as first. I don't have, truly, you don't have to agree with me. I don't care whether you agree with me or not. We can't, whether we want to relitigate the past or not. The reality is, is that Donald Trump said, I would fix these things right away. That was the cell. And not only did he not fix them, but objectively, they're worse. You can be like, well, under Biden, the inflation was this. Okay, sure. And in the second year, that's like, that's, where did it end? What do you think caused it in the second year? You think it was just all of a sudden, Biden, or you think maybe it was Trump's disastrous COVID handling of things that led to the issues that naturally follow when you do things horribly. But in any event, Biden's out. Biden lost. Come all lost. You know, that's what happened. Okay. Trump promised he would fix it. He made it worse. That's the objective reality. So under your logic, when you go Biden, Biden, Biden, okay. So under that logic, Trump should drop out. Now, I don't think I'd want JD, but anyone would be better than Trump. So under your logic, great. Biden, Trump, Trump, and Biden, so so Trump should drop out before the midterms, right? Wouldn't that be the, if you want, using their logic, shouldn't that be what happens? Okay, let's do that. Trump drops out. Crazy people. These are really crazy humans. These are dangerous, crazy, demonic humans. On that note, let's take our last quick break of the show. Get your copy WTF America pre-order it now. Good momentum on those pre-orders. Let's keep it going. I try to, I try to make this my life's work in this book to let you know everything I feel, you know, I don't want to be, I don't want to be grim or whatever, but this is where I put my thoughts in. So if anything, what else leave it at that? Just go get it. Let's take our last quick break of the show. Are you one of those people who loves coffee, the taste, the smell, the whole ritual, but the caffeine sends you straight into an anxiety spiral, because well, same. I love trying new coffee shops and fun seasonal drinks, but one full cup and suddenly my heart is sprinting and my brain, it's running in five different directions at once. That's why I love mud water. Same morning ritual, coffee, chai, or matcha, but with functional mushrooms and adapt the gendens instead of a full caffeine hit, steady energy and no spiral.

By the way, if you're on Medicare, I've got good news and bad news that you might want to hear. According to the National Council on Aging, the average senior on Medicare is overpaying by more than $1,000 a year for their coverage. And it gets worse. One in 10 is overpaying by $2,000 or more and only about 10% are on the plan that actually fits their needs best. It's easy to see why the system is so confusing and that confusion allows unscrupulous brokers and insurance companies to rob you blind. That's why it's so important to talk to a trusted advisor whose only job is getting you the best coverage for you at the best price. The good news is I found an advisor for you. Chapter is the only national Medicare advisor that compares every plan nationwide. They look at your providers, your prescriptions, and what matters most to you and your situation to help you find the best plan for you. If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you. If not, they'll help you fix it. Folks who found a new plan with chapter saved an average of $1,100 on health care costs. So find out if you are overpaying and get the best coverage for you by calling chapter today at 82 Medicare. That's 82 Medicare. I'm Ben Myceles. This is your breaking news. As I said at the outset, one of the things we saw today is why we need oversight. Because when Cash Patel or Bessent were called to Congress and they were grilled, we got to get some answers now. Because Republicans control the Senate and the House, the hearings are a bit rigged in the sense that they severely limit the time that you can question these individuals. It's like you get five minutes or three minutes and so then the witnesses try to fill a buster and they try to do everything. They can delay, delay, delay, delay, delay and then the time runs out. And so I just stoop it. But you still got some good answers I thought. I mean some good questioning where we got insight and information. So let me show you if I can just a few key and core elements. So first I'll show you when Cash Patel, FBI director, he's in the Senate. He's getting grilled by Senator Schiff and Patel calls on Chuck Grassley to end the hearing. Let's play this clip. If we've got that one and then I'll show you the next one after that. If we've got it of Patel saying the previous regulation automatically disqualified any individual who participated in either side of it. That'll be the next one. And then what about the beach reality? Same thing because the regs wrote it up in a fashion before I arrived that addressed prostitution, beach reality and trafficking. They were there before I got there. Tell me what it said before. It automatically disqualified any individual who participated on either side of it. Obviously we are never going to hire the criminal of the beach. The beach reality? Yes. So you disqualified the animal? Well I don't think we we have great canines but we're not going to disqualify. I understand. I'm trying to understand why you do. So you used to be disqualified from the FBI if you engaged in beach reality. Seems like a fair proposition to be disqualified from the FBI for doing that. And Patel changed the rule to say, well, still hire you. Same thing if you were involved in a lot of other very serious misconduct and horrific conduct and criminal conduct. And so he said if you were the victim, that's not what it said. And what are you talking about here? What the hell are we saying? What do you want? I just I had to show you that to show you it's real. Take a look right here as cash Patel calls on Chuck Grassley to end the hearing here. Let's play it. Mr. Booker tried to get an answer from you. A very simple answer about the reporter who wrote an article about potential misuse of an FBI SWAT team. They didn't happen. Total lie. And what he asked you. So let me repeat it because you didn't answer his question. We're going to ask you lies. So I'm not going to answer it. Mr. Chairman, we're going to have to extend time. The more he does this, we don't have to extend to ask my question. Mr. Chairman. Could I ask both of you? He might ask his question then like I said. Mr. Chairman, I've made my decor. I'm through this entire hearing. His colleagues have called me a thug, a liar, basically attacked my loved ones, continuing to jeopardize the safety of me and mine. All the while to advance their political narrative. He's doing the same. I would appreciate it if you concluded this hearing because this guy is no interest in oversight. Mr. Chairman, that's been about two minutes of Phil Buster. So reclaiming my time. Here's what I want to do. You asked your question. And then when he's done, you will have time to respond. Okay, it's time's up. So Mike. More of Patel right over here trying to, I guess, clean up his prior answer that he's very much focused at the FBI on the victims of bestiality becoming FBI agents. You're playing this clip. He's no longer protecting those who've been charged with bestiality. He's protecting those who are victims. Just turned it upside down. No, because you lied. No, I could just tell you what I'm reading to you as you dropped automatic disqualification for applicants who have been engaged in bestiality. Not victims of bestiality applicants who have engaged. Do you disagree with that? Applicants who have engaged in bestiality means they were victims of bestiality because they were forced to do so. And at this FBI, we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving the United States of America and the premier law enforcement agency in the world. They did that before. I eliminated the bureaucracy that prevented these great Americans from serving or at least being considered from serving. And I'm going to continue to do that. Turn it upside down. So what about Senator Welch's cross-exam? Let's play it. Turn him in. He said, quote, we had a rigged election. As you know, it was totally rigged because I won three times. I didn't win twice. I won three times. And of course, the president is saying he won the 2020 election. Do you agree with that? There are many ongoing investigations surrounding that matter. So I'm not going to comment on it and stylize the evidence. So if there's ongoing investigations, as I know there are, that indicates you don't, you do believe the president 2020 was rigged. There are many ongoing investigations. And for me, as the FBI director, to comment on the evidence would basically be. Yeah, there's a lot of you commented in the chat, by the way, the victims of beach reality. I can't believe I have to say this. The victims of beach reality are the animals. What are you talking about? Patel, the victims of beasties, that there are people who are applying, who the animals. I don't even want to say it. I don't even want to say what are you talking? What are you saying? I don't want to say the word. If I say, I don't even want to articulate what you're trying to say. I mean, do you see why I called this book WTA? This is crazy stuff. But then you move over to the house. That was in the Senate. You move over to the house. And by the way, he's focused on the victims of beach reality here. Not sure if you heard, but the FBI. We're focused on all the beach reality victims. And that's what we're looking to protect right as they cover up the Epstein files. That's, I just want you to think about that. That they're lying about helping victims of, this is what the FBI director said that they are focused on helping the victims of beastieality become FBI agents while they cover up the Epstein files. I'm just showing you what they said. This isn't like a debate. It's just literally what those are the words that he said. If you want to go watch the full thing, watch the full thing. But I think I gave the clip the full context that it doesn't deserve, frankly. But then I go to the house where you had Treasury Secretary Bescent. He was cross-examined by Democratic Congress member Himes. Spend one minute on your intervention. About a week and a half ago, you spent some 10 billion dollars plus or minus to try to lower the yield on the 10-year bond. This price is American mortgages. When you started the 10-year bond, was it 4.8 percent? Today, it's at a 20-year high of five
0.04 percent. 20 basis point rise. Was your intervention successful? And will there be more? Yes it was sir and the wait wait the 10 year went up by 20 basis points. How can you say it was successful? Well there is the counterfactual of what would it have done and we then proceeded to have the two most successful treasury auctions that we've had in 20 years and the US bond market it continues during past month, during since President Trump has come in. It has been the best performing bond market in the developed world. I have no idea. No. The 10 year yield is over 5 percent. The 30 year yield is 5.5 percent. Mortgage rates are 7.17 percent. Our bond market is blown up and you did this buyback scheme weeks ago and you made it worse. It was at this level right? The 10 year was like 4.8 and now it's over 5. You don't want to go up. When the treasury yields go up that means the government has to pay more interest to service the debt. You don't want it to go up and you're like you're like our recent treasury bond sale did better. Well if you offer people a return of 5.5 percent to entice them they may go that's a good return but you know who has to pay that bessent the taxpayers. Why don't you try to sell those same bonds at a yield of 3 percent? See how hot it is or 4 percent? See how hot? Oh you know why it's 5 percent? Because that's what institutions and countries are buying it at because they know that you're desperate and your schemes don't that's the way the bond like does he know the way the bond market works? Yeah I guess what? If you offered people 7 percent 8 percent or 10 percent they'll probably buy it too but you want to bring it down more on you want to bring it down because we the taxpayers have to service the damn debt idiot stupid just like dumb people it's like basics this is this is the treasury secretary no wonder when he was on his own he was a loser and he had 90 percent redemptions from his funds the guy's an idiot let's take a look at congresswoman Presley here playing this clip Frank that you're on thin ice with me because you sat here in the midst of the tariffs conversation and I asked for you to be a partner in pushing for an exemption of baby products and you told me that I had a partner in you in that in that advocacy and nothing came of that so twice you've come before this committee made a commitment under oh you've not followed up I would say watch this space the after a president cheese visit so okay I don't know what that means but but people are struggling you've made commitments you haven't kept any of them and it's outrageous moving on I have a lot of ground to cover and I didn't have too much of my time Secretary Besson when Donald Trump this is reclaiming my time when Donald Trump launched the unnecessary an unconstitutional war with Iran how long did he say that would last I don't recall a jog your memory four to five weeks it's been six months so he lied and we're all paying the cost since the war started gas prices are up 52 percent yes or no are you aware of that gas prices are up 52 percent since the war started are you aware of this issue yes or no from what to what I think that's not a good number okay I'm going to take that as a yes you're playing like you don't know but you know okay Secretary Besson working people reclaiming my time Secretary Besson working people are paying more for utilities now than they were five years ago more than 40 20 percent more are you aware of that I am aware of okay moving on Secretary Besson people are also paying over three times more on health insurance have you heard about this issue yes or no I am aware that Obama okay no yes or no are you aware you can ask me to stop filibustering you can stop acting like you don't know what the facts are moving on that's right Secretary Besson watch this space after she visits watch the space and what the the fuck does that mean excuse me watch the space after she sorry kept on cursing this episode I'm just it's the W what did you even watch the space about the cost of health after she visits why why would why would the ruler of China's visit to the United States affect this space what what are these what are these words pay attention to the space after she visits you understand no you're just a bunch of con artists that's what I understand your frauds she's gonna do a deal with Donald Trump watch the space by the way it's an important space you know what she's doing right now she controls the oil market it's no longer OPEC it she you know why because he had a plan and China had a plan depending on how much oil they import they move the oil market way more than OPEC does they bought a cheap they have a reserve in 2025 they have reserves of over at 1.5 billion barrels they did an import now they're importing they can change the price of that market pretty damn quickly if you know what else they control the rare earths they control rare earths so if I want to watch the space the space that I could watch is how back last year when you threaten China China threatened to withhold rare earths and then immediately you talk out and then the rest of the world said gotta understand they're cowards and this is all one big gain to them they don't have the carts that's what happened but now you want to pick on Venezuela because you're bullies this is what bullies do they pick on Epstein survivors and victims they pick on the trans community and international they pick on Venezuela they pick on Cuba right it's it's it's related right you think about how they punch down in Cuba's like we think we're gonna invade you what are you talking about why would we do that we're not idiots you know you know it's so they they pick on when they pick on Iran they thought Iran would tap out Iran did it Iran fought back and Iran wasn't even a regional power of it okay so Trump got out of the JCPOA Iran did this war with that now Iran fought back and then the U.S. ran out of weapons and lost the war and now the U.S. brags about punching down it's it's Epstein class shit you get what I'm saying here right what what are they brag about now we struck another commercial vessel heading into Iran you want me to applaud you that the United States Navy shot a freaking cargo ship of course the United States Navy can do war crimes if it wants to and drop big bombs on cargo ships in Iran that bring food and medicine and supplies to Iranians I mean I don't think we should be involved in the catastrophic war at all but if you're going to talk about targeting you wouldn't you want to talk about we did a military target no send comms like let me be very clear we shouldn't be in this catastrophic war at all period I don't you know misconstrue my words even a centilla but I just am making the point that they're bragging about striking fishing boats in Iranian tankers and bragging about being pirates the proud United States Navy brags we stop 100 commercial ships okay that was going to bring food why are you bragging about that it's not there's not even military ships like that's that's war crimes you're bragging about okay they brag about shooting the boats off the coast of Venezuela because they're losers this this is how losers behave so it's go after Venezuela we lost in Iran let's go after Cuba let's pick on somebody much smaller and then treat this as let's go into Columbia and Ecuador let's go into El Salvador let's flex and you saw a canonist like no way you saw what happened when they tried to pick on a large economy look Canada going elbows up so so these predators who cover up Epstein files whose names appear in the files right what do they do they in international they pick on Venezuela okay and and then they pillage Venezuela in resources and they don't even do a good job at it and they they lie about what's 65 billion dollar deal 500 years we're gonna take Venezuela and okay I debunked that lie a hundred times so I don't need to do it again but I want to show you this moment when treasury secretary Besson is asked by congress member casten so where's the Venezuelan money so Trump says there's 13 let me be clear because we need facts are important right last year this year same amount of oil the US has only has not enhanced the oil production in Venezuela okay and you know because I've done multiple fact checks the Venezuelan oil sour viscous dense sticky doesn't go into our salt caverns the barrels that exist in the future are hard to refine decades away billions of dollars of investments we wouldn't need our defense department to create a communist
authoritarian structure oil company to do deals with Venezuela if our private industry thought they were great investments to be made in Venezuela. So the reality is is that that's why Trump created an oil company with Hegsif that's in the Defense Department, which is an unlawful and then talks about barrels of oil that aren't going to happen ever. So you know, it's like at any event there has been some previous oil that would have gone to Venezuela that the US stole and took. So where's the money? Right. Fair question. Donald Trump's out there bragging. We've paid for the war many times over. We've got the money. So the question is a basic one to best. Where's the money? Where is it? Have you seen the money? So watch what takes place in this in this space. Let's let's let's let's look at the space before she visits. We'll look at the space. We'll get to say you got to go stupid people. You're playing. Look at the space. You're playing. What is the total amount of money associated with the sale of Venezuelan assets that's flowed through Treasury accounts or accounts managed by Treasury since January? That just a minute. We are not giving out the total amount of disbursement. I'm asking for the total amount of money. The President Trump said in July that it was more than 13 billion. Would you agree that it was more than 13 billion in July? Again, I'm not going to give out that amount. Okay. Has Treasury hired an independent auditor to review those flows? That KPMG. Okay. Thank you. All disbursements are subject to KPMG. Yes. And will their audit review the flows through the Katari managed account that was initially set up? Will their audit review the Katari flows? KPMG is reviewing everything since they have been hired. Will that include the Katari flows? Secretary Rubio said it would. I'm just asking you to confirm what Secretary Rubio said. I agree with Secretary Rubio because state is -- Okay. Have you personally reviewed any of their audits? There have been a lot of it's published yet. So have you reviewed their work products? What's that? Have you reviewed any of their work? My staff reviews them every day. Okay. Art, do you know are any of the cash flows that are flowing, flowing to the U.S. government, U.S. persons or U.S. corporations? I have no knowledge of that. Okay. Because President Trump said on July 27th, we've paid for that war many times over. We're taking in a lot of money. Billions and billions of dollars from Venezuela. Who is the weed that he is referring to? Well, I think President Trump may have been referring to the oil deal that the Department of War is done within his oil. But he seemed to imply that we, the United States, people are taking in money to offset those costs. That would suggest flows to U.S. persons. Again, that this is the one of the largest assets that maybe ever to go on that the U.S. balance sheet. Okay. Are the accounts that the Treasury is managing tied only to the sale of oils or are you also taking control of other Venezuelan assets? It is many Venezuelan assets. So you've asserted control over Venezuelan assets. I know Interior recently said they're taking control of Venezuelan gold sales. So we're also taking control of those assets in the dispersions. You can't testify as we sit here whether or not those are flowing to U.S. persons. No. Can you identify where or what U.S. bank those funds are being held? So to recap, the auditor didn't do an audit. We're stealing Venezuelan oil and gold. We don't know where it is. There's no audit. He opens up his book. We're not allowed to actually tell you where the dispersions are. Why not? It's our money. Fuck you talking about it bro. It's our money. The hell are you talking? It belongs to us. It's not your money. It's not Trump's money. It's not, you know who's money it is. It's Venezuelan people. It's their gold. Okay. I want to see it because you're purporting to steal their gold and money in our name. But what is this? Are you taking their gold and giving it to Donald Trump? That seems like what they're saying they're doing. Okay. And that's what seemed to have been implied in that entire questioning. That there's gold, gold nuggets, gold bars, gold being taken and hidden somewhere with oil, money, and that there's an audit. Great. There's an auditor. Like they use words that like make us think that they sounds okay. There's an audit. Have you seen it? Well, there hasn't been an audit done yet. Why not? Why hasn't there not been an audit yet? Okay. I would expect due diligence to happen right away. I don't know maybe before you showed up to a congressional hearing idiot. Maybe that's when it would take place. Are you going to wait for the space until after she shows up? Are you going to wait for the space until she's speaking? Are you going to ask daddy she if you can enter the space with auditors? Does he need to give you permission? Freaking losers, man, they're all losers. It's not our, these are loser humans. These are loser humans. What the hell was that? I could show you a lot of other questions. But that line of questioning alone should make you enraged. We don't know. I'm not going to tell you the amount. It's in a bank account or not going to share it to bank account. We're stealing their other assets. We're doing. We're stealing their other. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? We don't know. No American wakes up and goes, give me that Venezuelan gold. I want to pillage it except predators. The same type of people covering up the freaking Epstein files, right? Remember when Donald Trump was in our own? We may just take all of Iran's oil. Just like Venezuela, we may never leave. Yeah, that's what a predator says. That's what a sex predator says. That's what a predator says. The hell are you talking about? And do you realize if you're the Netherlands, why do you think they pulled their gold from the United States? They literally pulled their gold. Billions of dollars were. Why? You think they want to keep their gold here with that predator? Why do you think country after country selling their treasury bonds? You think they want these people who I just shared with you to be responsible for their money? Do you want to give these people your money? Right? I mean, you think about it. It's like these people have control of your money, my money, that we put in banks. These people who I just showed you, these are smart, these are dumbed up. These are idiots. These are these are horrible people. And then the coup d'état all of it this week, they announced the following. All right, what are we going to do? People are suffering, we're struggling. What are you going to do? Breaking news. The EPA is eliminating a rule that limits planet warming pollution from coal and gas fired power plants. Got it. So you're just going to, you're just going to kill us earlier, understood. I guess that's the plan that we all, we all just live to die right away in your dystopian, hellish nightmare because you're all miserable people. The Environmental Protection Agency said Monday, it's repealing rules that limit planet warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas and announced that it's taking separate but related steps to prevent future administrations from regulating climate pollution from power plants. So not only do you want to inject the cancer right into our veins, you want to prevent us from ever trying to rehabilitate after you do so. Really? Really, then goes environmental groups. This is how it's being reported by the AP. Environmental groups decried, they decried the change. How but not environmental groups. How about it's like the fish decried that they took out the water. I decry, I'm going to decry when you kill me. I'm going to decry that fact. The environmental, you see how they have to report it though? The environmental group, they decried. It's not sure to be the environmental group. We have to go outside and breathe the air. This isn't some like woke freaking lecture on whatever. Like I said, well, we don't want freaking dying. And with everything that's going on, that's the rule you push. We're going to revoke the Biden-era power plant rule. Why? And it's going to unleash, it's going to unleash, you're going to unleash cancer. You're going to unleash toxins. You're going to unleash, there's a re, we, this is why I go back to this. And I know we've done a long episode. So it's been fun though. I'm not fun. It's been therapeutic is the right word. Definitely not fun. Therapy, I enjoy spending time with you, even if we're talking about stuff that makes me very angry. So that's probably a better way to say, I'm not trying to message you. I'm not going to message you. I'm not going to tell you. And that's why you need to do this or that.
If you don't at this point feel a certain way of what we've all gone through, then I can't help you. You know, you, we all, this isn't, you know, this, sometimes it feels like we're living in a simulation, frankly, as a result of just how deranged life is right now under this dystopian Trump regime. Sometimes it's truly, but, but, but as far as I know, as far as I know, we're not. And I want us to live happier, healthier lives, and I want people to enjoy the short time they have on this earth. That's how I approach all of this. That's why I did this network. It's why I've, I've had the privilege, and I've had the fortune to be privileged and fortunate in my life. And I'm 41 years old, and I've been able to professionally and personally accomplish life things that others maybe don't have. And I feel that it's my duty and obligation at this stage to do anything in my power, everything in my power, to help from here in the United States to making sure that people in Gaza hear what I'm saying, to making sure that people in Lebanon know what I'm saying, to making sure that people in Minab, who lost family members, who were slaughtered in elementary schools, and Lamar, who were murdered in sports halls. I want anybody who just wants to live decent lives with each other in peace and in harmony to know that just every day, this is what I think about. And, you know, maybe I'm not the best messenger, maybe I make mistakes, maybe I'm a little bit all over the place sometimes, and sometimes I get super excited about a topic, and I just say a bunch of shit. And I'm just like, I don't know, maybe you follow, maybe you don't, I don't know sometimes. But I hope you know that every day, this network has been built, not on messaging you politics. There are other people who do that, they do it better than me. So I'm not trying to message you, I'm really not trying to, I'm not trying to convince you, I'm perfectly okay if you disagree with me, on a lot of issues, and I'm sure you hear me and you do disagree, that's fine. I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to change your mind or have you, I want you to have a data set of the best information out there in terms of accurate data. I will share my opinion from time to time, but I don't feel like I've been politically, because I think that distorts, you have to be empowered, you are empowered, but I certainly understand that there are big forces, vested interests that are trying to rip away your agency, every damn day, and trying to make you feel, like what's the point of all of this, and so the purpose of this network is to make you know and connect you to a bigger community, where we all could stand shoulder to shoulder together, from the streets of Pennsylvania to the farms of Iowa, right, to the streets in Lebanon, across the world in the Middle East, in Asia, in Europe, in South America, in the Caribbean, you know, in Africa, in all the countries in Africa, all the countries in Mexico, in Canada, elbows up in Canada, of course. I want us all to be connected in our empathy, and our love, and our joy, and just trying to leave this a better place, and if that's what the Midas touch network did, that's what I want, that's what I want this to be every damn day, so. That's what we're doing, to Denmark, I saw your comment, to Denmark, to all of Europe, to all around, to Nordic States, to everywhere, everywhere, okay, and it doesn't mean to leave anybody out. WTF America, check it out, pre-order it right now, spend a lot of time together with each other, we're grateful for you, it really are.
