What in the world are you talking about?

You said 90 deals in 90 days. Now you're just going to send letters to countries saying what their tariffs are going to be? How pathetic is this? Oh, and then Donald Trump posted the following last night. Any country aligning themselves with the anti-American policies of BRICS will be charged an additional 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What is the policy? What are you talking about? So is there an additional 10% tariff on China? Is there an additional 10% tariff on India? Aren't you trying to negotiate a deal with India? What in the world are you doing right now? Do you even know what BRICS is? As we're learning more horrible and tragic news about what happened in Kerr County, Texas,

more on that in a moment and these systemic failures that seem to have occurred there, what is the Trump regime talking about? UFC fights at the White House. They've been repeating this over and over again with the UFC yesterday confirming Trump's plan to host a fight at the White House in 2026. Trump said he wants the card to be held in front of more than 20,000 people as part of a celebration honoring America's 250th birthday on July 4th, 2026. I can't think of anything more embarrassing to the United States than if that takes place. Oh, perhaps Donald Trump being there. The UFC plans to host a fight card on the White House grounds.

A spokesperson for the promotion confirmed to NBC News. Further details were not available, but Trump said he would like it as part of the celebration for July 4, 2026, honoring America's 250th birthday. Quote, we're going to have a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House, Trump said in Des Moines, Iowa. We have a lot of land there. He said he expects the card to include a fight in front of 20,000 to 25,000 people. Quote, every one of our national parks, battlefields, and historic sites are going to have special events and we're going to have a UFC fight. It's not clear how far along the planning the event is.

A UFC spokesperson said more details will be released in due time. Well, at least I didn't say two weeks. Then Conor McGregor, who has not competed, said, I would be honored. Count me in. This is what they're doing right now. Now is reported that 78 deaths in Kerr County, Texas from the horrible flash floods as a result of these storms there,

where local officials were saying they did not get the forecast that they needed or the forecast did not predict the amount of rain. And we know about all of the unfilled vacancies not get the forecast that they needed or the forecast did not predict the amount of rain. We know about all of the unfilled vacancies at the National Weather Service positions, including their lead meteorologist coordinator in that Kerr County region who had 32 years of experience, who was basically pushed out by Doge, a guy by the name of Paul Yura. So while Donald Trump's talking about UFC, here's what it looked like in Kerr County

play this clip. Now at the Midas Touch Network, when we had the facts, we did not hesitate to report on what was happening with the cuts to the National Weather Service and NOAA, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, also with the Trump regime's cuts to FEMA. You know by watching this network, how long have we been talking about FEMA almost every single day since January. We did segments on FEMA, on NOAA, on NWS, and all of this stuff. And finally, New York Times wrote yesterday, as floods hit, key roles were vacant at weather

service offices in Texas. Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters' ability to coordinate responses with local emergency management officials. And I think part of the key operative words there, coordinate response with local emergency management officials. It does seem that some alert went out saying there's going to be flash floods by the National Weather Service, but that's just a post. That's not the robust federal coordination that's supposed to take place. You see, NOAA, NWS, FEMA are all supposed to work together and basically take the lead with the states. The states aren't supposed to be taking the lead. The states don't know how to run things like this.

That's not what states are equipped for. This is why you, one of the reasons you have a federal government, and here it seems the Trump regime, again, they said they want to eliminate FEMA. They just want to push all this to the states. And if you do that, the states don't know what they're doing in this area. So we have that happening as well. It should be noted, remember all of those posts I made at the outset about Trump saying he's sending letters to the countries. I'm going to do another video on this this morning.

So keep checking back because I'll give you a comprehensive report. But Prime Minister Aishiba of Japan is saying, we will not easily concede in trade negotiations with America. Standing up for themselves in Japan. While all of this is going on too, remember how Donald Trump back in May entered into a ceasefire with the Houthis? And remember he said they're brave and courageous people, the Houthis, a terrorist group that is funded by Iran. You're saying it's brave and courageous people.

And remember Donald Trump declared victory and said that it's all good. We're going to be able to use the Red Sea. We'll be able to traverse the Red Sea. Well, there hasn't been a single American flag commercial ship that's been able to cross through the Red Sea. Well, there hasn't been a single American flag commercial ship that's been able to cross through the Red Sea. And then the Houthis set a ship on fire with a drone boat attack over the weekend, showing that. Remember all the strikes on the Houthis that remember like Pete Hegseth? Lethality. This is how you do it. We destroyed him. No, you didn't. The same way you did not obliterate all of the nuclear facilities in Iran Y'all are just a bunch of liars over and over again Trump was asked He was he was golfing of course this past weekend in Bedminster

That's how he was spending his time golfing during this tragedy and then on Friday He was dancing to the YMCA when the scale and scope of the tragedy was indeed known as horrific. So he was in Bedminster flying back to DC and he was asked, are you still planning on phasing out FEMA? With all that we know now, are you going to phase out FEMA? And he doesn't rule out phasing out FEMA. But there always have been all these statements.

Him and Kristi Noem over and over again said they want to eliminate FEMA. But here he is on the tarmac. Let's play it. Are you still planning to phase out FEMA? Well, FEMA is something we can talk about later. But right now they're busy working. So we'll leave it at that. And then Donald Trump's asked the most basic question.

Do you think we should hire back the Meteorologist who do the weather forecasts and do the coordination with local officials? He goes no, I don't think so You don't think so. What are you talking about? Play this clip? I back any of the meteorologists who were fired in the last few months? I wouldn't know that. I really wouldn't. I would think not. This was the thing that happened in seconds. Nobody expected it. Nobody saw it. Very talented people are there and they didn't see it. It's, I guess they said once in a hundred years they've never seen anything like this. So I wouldn't, I mean people are trying to blame the school,

they're trying to blame the camp, they're trying to blame the camp, they're trying to blame, it's just a horrible thing. But no, I wouldn't say that now. But for the propaganda media outlets like the New York Post, this is a big win. Tired of winning it? Trump caps two-week victory streak with big beautiful triumph. That's how New York Post is reporting it. You mean that 17 million Americans are going to get kicked off of Medicaid. That's how New York Post is reporting it. You mean that 17 million Americans are going to get kicked off of Medicaid? That's what you're celebrating? That we're going to add trillions to our debt? That's what you're celebrating? That people are going to be taking off supplemental nutrition assistance? That's what you're celebrating? So that billionaires can get

tax cuts when they already have amassed so much wealth, we have to now give them the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of the country and perhaps the world of low-income working-class Americans to the super rich. Why? Why are we doing that? It makes zero, oh, because that's who Donald Trump represents. They're the oligarchs. Here's the types of emails that Donald Trump

was sending yesterday, scammy emails like this. And I subscribe to his email so you don't have to. But I want to see, like, what's he saying to his supporters? This was from yesterday afternoon at 4.03. I left a voicemail for, fill in the blank of the name of the supporter. Here it says Ben, because I subscribe so you don't have to. Then it goes transcribed voice message from Trump.

And then it gives his supporters a fake transcribed voice message. Do they think this is real? And it goes, I have five minutes until my next meeting starts. So I'm gonna make this quick. Here are three reasons I need your support before midnight. I really mean that.

It's because you and you alone and our administration is securing win after win for the people. The first reason is that I need your help building up the Trump war chest for the midterms. We've got to protect our congressional and Senate majority. The second reason is that Democrats are suing my administration left and right.

They hate that I'm putting you first. The final reason is that I'll enter you to win a free set of gold Trump golf balls. I hope you haven't given up on my mission to put America first. If you haven't, will you do me a huge favor, chip in $25? So it's not a free set of gold golf balls.

People are paying $25. What are we talking about here? Donald Trump Jr., remember his post back on February 21st, 2025, in response to this breaking, Epstein files are going to be released. AG Bondi has said this would include a client list per the New York Post to which Don Jr. went LFG. Well, yesterday Axios, our friend Alex Eisenstadt, got the exclusive.

DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein has no client list and that he died by suicide. The Trump regime now claims there is no Epstein list. It never existed. Sure, Jan, Jan, sure, never existed. That's what they're going with. Why? Because Trump's name is all over the files. I've done a hundred videos on Trump's connections with Epstein's.

Go back. I did one last night, but you'll see for yourself. Meanwhile, what are the MAGA Republicans doing? They're making posts like this. I'm not sure if they're in this photo, but they now go swimming with Trump's face on floaties in the pool. There's nothing else I need to say about that. And then they go, the European mind could never comprehend. Yeah, no mind can never comprehend. What the hell are you doing? Why are you swimming with Trump floaties around your body?

That's freaking weird. Okay. And then I'll leave you with this right here. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, morning interviews, what has he been saying? He said that the Trump regime never promised 90 deals in 90 days. And he also said that no one is, that not a lot of countries have been calling. So let me do this. Let me share with you the split screen of what the regime was saying with their chief

propagandist, Caroline Levitt. Then I'll show you what Besant was saying so you can see the side by side. Let's play it. And now the rest of the world is calling our administration. The phones are ringing off the hook because they need the United States of America, not just our economy and our market, but they need us to continue providing peace around this world. And they know that they are indebted to us for the stability that we have provided in their own countries for decades.

And the president has made that very clear. When you talk about these letters and you talk about kind of the 90 deals in 90 days, or at least the president did back in April, so far that we've seen three and they're not concrete deals the way that we're used to seeing trade deals. They're frameworks. The president has a reputation, self-described deal maker. So why haven't we seen the kind of deals that he promised in the last 90 days? Again, he didn't promise this. And when we send out the 100 letters to these countries, that will set their tariff rate.

So we're going to have a hundred done in the next few days. But that's not a deal. That's a threat. No, that's the level. That's the deal. If you want to trade with the United States, this is, but that's not a negotiation. That's just a, well, many of these countries, many of these countries never even contacted us. So there you have it, folks.
