Trump gave a speech in front of a crowd that was significantly less crowded than Vice President Kamala Harris' speech in the same venue. And boy, was it strange, odd, weird, dangerous. You picked the word. Donald Trump congratulated Vladimir Putin for the prison swap. He again talked about his friend, the imaginary cannibal, Hannibal Lecter.

Donald Trump also brought one of his MAGA operatives on stage and talked about kissing her and how he may not want to go back home to his wife. Also, Donald Trump continued to make numerous racist statements about Vice President Kamala Harris. So did the speakers before Donald Trump. That is the key theme of his campaign right now. Donald Trump saying that Vice President Kamala Harris turned black. That's what Donald Trump is making the forefront of his campaign. Also, he spent time in Georgia attacking the Republican leaders in the state, like their Republican

Governor Brian Kemp and their Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Donald Trump's now saying the polls are all rigged. His team put out a press release saying that the polls are rigged against him. It is fake news and fake media, according to Donald Trump, rigging the polls because the poll after poll after poll that he used to post, both the battleground and general election state polls, now have Donald Trump losing. Running scared, Donald Trump, of course, unilaterally canceled the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, which was scheduled to take place on September 10th on ABC. Donald Trump then invented his own debate that nobody agreed to. I'm not even sure Fox agreed to it, but Trump said he's going to do it at his specific time in his specific safe place. So much for anytime, anywhere, any place

like Donald Trump said, he said he wants to do it early September on Fox. Nobody agreed to it. Vice president Kamala Harris basically just laughed at him and said, like, what are you talking about? I'm going to go to the debate that everybody agreed to on ABC, to which Donald Trump responded, no, I'm not going to be going and doing a debate with Slopadopoulos. That's Donald Trump's reference to George Stephanopoulos. Trump repeatedly calls him Slopadopoulos because Donald Trump is a petulant weirdo third grader. Vice President Kamala Harris continues her momentum, as mentioned before, rising in the polls. But even more significantly than that, I think coalition building. She's now secured the endorsements of numerous prominent Republicans who also formed a group Republicans for Harris. Indeed, a unity ticket Vice President Kamala Harris is putting out there. Also, the Midas Touch Network put out a new short, which went mega viral. We call it

Hillbilly Felony, the story of Shady Vance meeting Donald Trump, which we'll show you in just a little bit. A lot to talk about. And also we should talk about Donald Trump doing an interview earlier in the day to try to rebut the fact that lots of people have been calling him weird. So he did an interview with this guy, Aiden Ross. You see Donald Trump there. For those who are on audio, you can't see it. But those watching, doing a weird dance. This guy, Aiden Ross, is a right-wing streamer who got famous for sniffing the butts of people.

He would sniff the butts of girls and people he would consider, he considers alpha males in his own world. And he would sniff the seats and the people would say, sniff it, Aiden, sniff it, Aiden. Donald Trump said that Aiden is a very respected individual. And that's how Donald Trump spent the day with an actual butt sniffer. Just gets more and more insane, Ben, Jordy. Never, what kind of mad libs is this episode? I don't know, but I did not see that coming today when we thought about this episode over the weekend. Those words and that combination I did not think would ever come into a Midas Touch episode. turn against him. It's just becoming, let's face it, he's becoming more and more and more unhinged. As we've always said, there's no bottom to this guy. There's no bottom to his depravity. And the more the tides turn against them, the crazier he's going to get. Like, if you think you've seen it all, you ain't seen nothing yet. Also, I got to say on the last episode, I know my mic was a little low and everybody was in rage and I was trying to figure

it out. And I had my settings locked from one of the previous streams that we were doing. And it was the most stressful thing, but I think I'm back, right? Do I sound okay now? You're so back. You're so back. We're so, we're so back. So let's get into it. Jordy, what's up? I just got to say MAGA from, from boot lickers to butt sniffers, the MAGA floor has no bottom. That's where I want to start off the show. Ben, where are we going from there? What a slogan. It should be noted that after this show ends, we will be streaming Against All Enemies live here for free.

I mean, it's going to be on the feed. You'll be taken to that afterwards. No, you're not going to be on the feed. You'll be taken to that afterwards. No, you're not going to be taken automatically. So I want to make sure you know there's a link in the description to this video. You have to click the link in the description of this video to go there. So you could open it up in a new tab, in a new window right now. Set your reminders. It's going to start at 9.15 p.m. Eastern, 6.15 Pacific, right after we finish the show.

So set your reminders now. Make sure you check that out. And if you're listening to this audio on Tuesday, it's still up there. You could go and you could check it out by going to YouTube.com Midas Touch. You will see the full movie there for you to watch absolutely free of charge. It's so important. We wanted to make sure that as many people as possible could see this. Of course.

That was the most Ben move ever right there of just giving people the instructions without consulting with you or I. I mean, Ben, you're usually very good at asking for these specific directing instructions. What was that? I think Ben just wanted me to emphasize the correct way. So he said it incorrectly so that I could come in and make sure that it's ingrained in people's minds that against all enemies, the number one documentary, the number one of all movies on Apple TV, when we released it for a week,

like it was ahead of Barbie and Oppenheimer and every movie. Number one, we're giving it for free. We're letting you watch it for free tonight. So make sure you check it out. Oh, another special bonus about this. Charlie Sadoff,

the director of the movie and Ken Harbaugh, the producer of the movie are going to be in the chat to chat with all you folks while we watch the movie. It's going to be quite the watch party tonight of an incredibly important film. Look, of course I meant metaphorically taken there, Jordy. The Midas Mighty understood what I meant. Let's go to Atlanta, Georgia, Donald Trump's awful speech there. This was the moment in the speech, and the whole thing is very odd and bizarre. I often list all of the things that happens because sometimes it's just even too hard to believe that this is actually the leader of the Republican Party. But here, Donald Trump talks about one of his surrogates who he's on stage with. Her name

is Michaela Montgomery. You may recognize her. She was the lady in the Chick-fil-A who gave Donald Trump a hug. And Donald Trump tried to use that to say he has support in the black community because a black lady gave him a hug in a Chick-fil-A. We very quickly here at the Midas Touch Network pointed out that that was a stunt that she had previously worked for Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens. She's a MAGA operative and she follows Trump around event to event to event. So Donald Trump says, look, I have support in the black community when she gives him a hug at the various events. That's why it's important to call these stunts out. Donald Trump had Michaela Montgomery give one of the opening speeches at this Atlanta, Georgia traveling fascist circus thing that he calls a rally. Then when he was on stage

with her, he said that she kissed him. And then he talks about them kissing each other and how he may not go back to his wife, Melania, anymore. Play this clip. It's President Trump. You saved my college. And I said, how the hell do you know that? She said, you are, this one is so smart, so sharp. She grabbed me. She gave me a kiss. I said, I think I'm never going back home to the first lady. You were supposed to keep that quiet. See now, for the average politician, that's death.

For me, I don't care. Also, did you hear what he said? He said, this one. I don't know if you picked that up as well. Let me show you her speech before Donald Trump took the stage and talked about she and him kissing each other. Here's what she had to say. And this was part of the messaging that Donald Trump wanted out there because he had signs throughout the stadium saying, Vice President Kamala Harris is not black. She's Indian. And he had that as like the main message out there. And that's been one of the main message that his MAGA surrogates have been trying to push. Look, Vice President Kamala Harris

has a black Jamaican father and her mom is of Indian heritage. She's biracial, but yet Donald Trump wants to say she turned black. So Donald Trump has his surrogates like Miguel and Montgomery push that message. Let me show you. Play the clip. A few days ago, President Trump said he didn't know Vice President Harris was a black woman. I'm trying to figure out what all the outrage is about because she's only black when it's time to get elected. Did I lie? did i lie the same black people who are mad at trump for being confused about her race ethnicity nationality whatever are seemingly forgetting that while you're touting her as a savior for black people she identifies as an asian woman she chose her side and it wasn't our

this is so weird and offensive and racist. And like, I really, I don't even understand like the strategy behind it. You know, there's no strategy behind this. Like Trump, you got the racist based on Locke. I'll let you know that. I'll let you in on a little secret. The racist people, you got them. Okay.

But you're not going to expand to kind of the normal people that you'd actually need to win. And I even saw some interesting reports from reporters at the rally who were interviewing some of the Trump supporters at this rally. And even they apparently were like very, I don't know how they're surprised at this point, but they were like, oh yeah, I can't believe he kept going to that. I can't believe he kept talking about that. I wish he talked about the issues. I'm like, do you know the guy you're following? Is this your first time? I can't even fathom this strategy. Donald Trump then writes on his social media, in between talking about the kiss and her speech, Trump writes, good job by Michaela Montgomery. What a speech. A special person with a fantastic future. Like right there, that should in and of itself

be disqualifying. By the way, when she chanted, did I lie? Yeah, you did lie. Everything you're saying is a lie and very strange and saying Vice President Kamala Harris chose sides. What are you even, like, what are you talking about? And then all of the other speakers continued with that theme. And then other speakers continued with that theme. And then Donald Trump continued with that theme. And we'll show you some clips in a little bit, but Donald Trump would say things like he would intentionally mispronounce her name. And then he would go, you know, there's 19 ways to say her name, 19 different ways.

I'll say it however I want to say it. Why, why would you do that? Like, why is that a normal thing to do? As I've said before, someone who engages in behavior like that would not have any position of leadership or frankly position at all in a big company, medium-sized company, small company, nonprofit, social gathering. Someone showed up to my house and behaved like that. I tried to get a restraining order against them, yet the Republicans want to give this guy the nuclear codes.

And as he's there in Georgia, he spent a great deal of his speech not just attacking Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of Georgia, for not lying about the election results. He was attacking Brian Kemp's wife repeatedly, the wife of the Republican governor over and over again. One of the things we wanted to do though at the Midas Touch Network, and you may have seen this, this went mega viral, is find unique ways to just showcase who Donald Trump and Shady Vance are. So at the end of last week, we released one of our latest Midas shorts, and we're able to build these shorts thanks to your support. You go to patreon.com slash Midas Touch, you help support the growth of this independent media platform, and I hope you've been enjoying

the shorts that we have been delivering lately as we continue to expand in scope and size, and I think it adds another dimension to the work that we're doing here. Let me just show you, we did it in a movie trailer style. It's called Hillbilly Felony. I guess the sequel to Hillbilly Elegy. And it's the story of how Donald Trump and Shady Van Smith. Let's play the trailer. I didn't vote for Trump. The people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don't have kids at all.

The vice president in terms of the election does not have any impact. I didn't come from the elites. He was a nobody. J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy. He came from nothing. I'm a never Trump guy. I never liked him. You said idiot if you voted for him. I didn't vote from nothing. I'm a never Trump guy. I never liked him.

You said idiot if you voted for him. I didn't vote for Trump. I'm not a Trump supporter. Might be America's Hitler. An idiot and a moral disaster. You've gotta respect the American people enough to just level with them. But wanted to stand for something.

I didn't think he was gonna be a good president, Brett. He was a great president. Himself. You know, Senator, this is an evolution. All of a sudden he decided not only isn't Trump noxious and reprehensible, he's now the greatest president of his lifetime. He is kissing my ass. He wants my support. From the party with no platform.

I'm a never Trump guy. He's the best president of my lifetime. A man with no convictions. Donald J. Trump guilty on all counts. And a man with 34 convictions. I J. Trump guilty on all counts. And a man with 34 convictions. I did absolutely nothing wrong. In a story about freedom. It was meant to be at least a little bit. Okay. Freedom to rig elections. Give votes to all children in this country, but let's give control over those votes to the parents

of those children. The freedom to be racist. Now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? And the freedom to be racist. Now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? And the freedom to control women. Roe versus Wade is an abomination. We're effectively run in this country by a bunch of childless cat ladies. The people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don't have kids at all. If you don't have as much of an investment in the future of this country, maybe you shouldn't get nearly the same boys. J.D. Vance also thinks stepmoms aren't really moms. Women should be staying in marriages, even if they're violent marriages.

These swing voters do not like him, and they do think he's weird. No, we're not weird people. We're actually just the opposite. From the directors of two fake charities. We've always had a good chemistry. JP, right? J.D. Mandel.

It's... Hillbilly Felony. I love you guys. Well done to Brett and the whole team that you oversee there that did a really good job. Yeah. Really a shout out to our production team. And I really think we're putting together right now, like the best of the best production team. And so I think between the podcast that we do here, between the reporting that Ben and Michael Popak and all of our incredible contributors do, and then these short videos that are these viral, very snackable, shareable videos, I think we're getting out information now in very interesting ways, like nobody's doing it.

So thank you to everybody for making that possible. You know, we talked about some of the data. Give a shout out to all the Midas Mighty for making this happen. In the past 48 hours or so, between 25 to 26 million views, more people watching MTN, the Midas Touch Network, than CNN, Fox, MSNBC. And that's thanks to you. Our coverage of the Trump disaster in Atlanta got 3.3 million views alone on just that coverage, which is more people watching that than watch like a Hannity or a Laura Ingraham on primetime. So thank you for getting the word out there.

Let's talk about, though, some of the other things that went down in Atlanta, Georgia, shall we? We could talk about him glitching. We could talk about him praising Vladimir Putin. We can talk about him yelling at the school administration that owned the auditorium for empty seats. We could talk about Hannibal Lecter. We can talk about Trump glitching, trying to attack Vice President Kamala Harris. We can talk about Trump glitching, trying to attack Vice President Kamala Harris. We can talk about Donald Trump saying that he saved the words, Merry Christmas. We could talk about Donald Trump saying that he now supports electric cars, but he didn't two weeks ago because Elon Musk told him to and gave him money. We could talk about Donald Trump spreading the fake story about the female Algerian boxer. We could talk about Donald Trump saying that he hates Bruce Springsteen.

We could talk about Donald Trump saying he hates the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp. We could talk about Donald Trump whining about the crowd size over and over again. Why don't you could watch the longer version where I choose your adventure, Ben, choose your adventure. Why don't I do Trump glitching heavily with claims of defunding the place? Play the clip. Should not stop. She said she was endorsing to fund the place and the police. And she said, violent mobs, let the violent mobs keep going. And by the way, we didn't slow that down. In my next Choose Your Own Adventure page, Trump blames the school administration for empty seats. Play the clip.

But the school administration stopped us from getting another 500, 600, even 1,000 people in. Thousands of people were told no, and that was okay, but we could have fit another 600 people. So I don't know anything about this school. I don't know anything about this school, but they could have allowed more people. You got people standing outside. Look at all the people outside. They could have come in. They could have come in. So we're not happy. Hello out there. And then they actually pushed the people very far away from the building where we have beautiful cameras set up for the overflow crowds, the administration of the school. So I'm not sure if I'm going to be sending anybody to the school. I'm not happy about it.

If they're going to stand in the way of admitting people to our rally, just imagine what they're going to do on election day. We're not going to let that happen. I mean, it's just, it's just an hour and a half of watching somebody who needs to be placed under a 51 50 involuntary psychiatric hold, like on a stage, just spewing nonsense over and over again. I've told the story about my buddy who I played tennis with on the weekends, who he said

to me something that resonated so much. He goes, Ben, you don't get it though. Donald Trump is uniquely the single worst individual in the United States to be the leader of a political party and to run for president. He goes like, you see that person there? You see that person there? They would do a far better job. Trump is so mentally deranged and demented that it's like, what are we even watching? I mean, and by the way, here, as I go to the next page of our Choose Your Own Adventure, Here is Donald Trump congratulating Vladimir Putin. So we went from Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall. Horrible Reagan impression. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall to Donald Trump saying, I want to thank Vladimir Putin.

Putin, here, play the clip. It's terrible. You know, by the way, I'd like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for having made yet another great deal. Did you see the deal we made? I mean, who praises Vladimir Putin? And by the way, I haven't heard him say one nice word about the people who were wrongfully imprisoned over there. I've not heard him say any, give them any well wishes to those Americans who are being held overseas.

Some of them were being held on his watch. He just doesn't care. It's always, how could I spin this for my own political benefit? He personally almost tried to hold them hostage himself by saying that he was the only one who would be able to let them out. And he was so angered by the fact that they were released because he thought his buddy Vlad was going to do him a solid. And that's not what this country is about. Have we ever had in our history, I know the answer, spoiler alert, is no. Have we ever had a president in our history that worked day in and day out to undermine the United States of America, to do everything imaginable to try to harm the United States of America, to try to help our enemies. It's never existed before. And I think it's something that's not talked about enough, quite frankly, with what Biden

has had to deal with as president. It's unprecedented. And we'll get into that more, too, as we talk about kind of the stock market and the things that Donald Trump was doing. But it's all them trying to instill this fear and to try to tear the country down so that they personally could do better. And that is not what the country is about. And then right, just that point too, it's not that Trump is just sitting idly, right? Like just letting things happen. He's actively rooting against the country and trying to undermine the efforts of, you know, just law and order from taking place. And so to see him when he makes that statement, talking about the hostages, for example, that they're not going to be released

until he's president, you're exactly right. It's a wink and a nod to Putin saying, hey, this is what I want. This is what we need to make sure happens so I can look like the big hero for my team. He doesn't care. Trump doesn't care about the country. He only cares about making Trump look better. Look, it doesn't even have to be a wink and a nod, right? I mean, he invites Viktor Orban, Putin's buddy, to Mar-a-Lago. And, you know, it's always projection and confession with these MAGAs. So when they talk about, like, the deep state out there plotting against the government, again, they Americans and the existing government, like working against it at every turn.

And when we get back, we should talk about it, right? They're rooting against and trying to block prisoner swaps. They blocked a bipartisan border deal. Donald Trump complains and yells that the OPEC cartel was defeated and that gas prices were coming down when OPEC tried to inflate it. Donald Trump's threatening the chairman of the Federal Reserve to not lower interest rates. Donald Trump is inviting over Orban and Netanyahu and others to try to dictate foreign actions that create chaos. And Donald Trump roots against the success of the stock market. And that's just a small list. Let's talk about that and more, but let's take our first the success of the stock market. And that's just a small list.

Let's talk about that and more, but let's take our first quick break of the show. I know from a lot of the emails that you send me that a lot of you watching and listening are entrepreneurs.

And they're great freaking products and deals. When Brett Jordy and I were speaking earlier about Donald Trump trying to undermine the success of our nation, we were just talking about how unprecedented it is and that it doesn't really get discussed in its proper context. And we thought it was important that we bring it up. What we were talking about on the phone was like, could you imagine if after John McCain lost, that John McCain then spent the remainder of his life trying to undermine and destroy Barack Obama and trying to cut deals with foreign leaders and constantly posting over and over and over things that could lead to real just detrimental things, not just for Obama, but for the people itself.

And you go back, there's really no historical precedent for it. I mean, Donald Trump is out there bragging that he killed the bipartisan border deal, right? A deal that was negotiated by a conservative Republican from Oklahoma, who President Biden tasked with leading the negotiations. There was a deal that was reached that would have helped the situation at the border. Donald Trump then told MAGA Mike to kill the bill and not even let it get a vote, to not even let it come before the House of Representatives. And so they blocked it in the Senate. They blocked it in the House of Representatives. Meg and Mike blocked it in the House. And then the American people didn't get the benefit of a deal

that would have actually benefited we, the people. And Donald Trump, you saw before, Donald Trump praising Vladimir Putin on the prisoner swap. Donald Trump also posted right after attacks on the fact that America got its un why is OPEC trying to help Vice President Kamala Harris win the election? They're trying to rig the election for her. And he's upset that President Biden and Vice President Harris came up with a strategy that would stop OPEC from raising the price per gallon of oil. $100 is what OPEC want to do. They're a cartel. The goal of the cartel is to price gouge. And it's not like there's international antitrust regimes to stop them. So we created a policy to stop them and Trump's complaining about that. Trump has been consistently attacking the chairman of the Federal Reserve to not lower interest rates.

And we've reported on that before. Donald Trump gave an interview with numerous outlets saying that it would be unfair if interest rates were lowered because it would help the Democrats. So he's trying to screw us there. And look, I have no doubt that when Orban and when Netanyahu visit Mar-a-Lago, that Donald Trump is saying to them some version of, you need to keep chaos going on because chaos is a winning issue for me. I have no doubt that that's And Donald Trump has built up this, you know, very large kind of disinformation network to pump all this BS out into the ecosystem and to just muddy the waters. If you remember the Steve Bannon strategy that Bannon had said, which was some form of, I'm paraphrasing, but I think it was flood the zone with shit is what Steve Bannon said. That's exactly the Donald Trump strategy here. And by the way, it's exactly the strategy of Elon Musk, who is supporting Donald Trump and who purchased Twitter, who spent $44 billion and is losing most of his investment. And I don't think he cares because the goal of it is to spread disinformation and to spread this kind of panic because they want to see the world burn. So whether it's with the stocks, whether it's with the border, whether it's with other issues of migration. If you remember a few months ago, what we reported on was the run on the banks.

You had Elon Musk, you had David Sachs, you had Donald Trump, you had all those Trump influencers all trying to stoke a run on the banks. How irresponsible can you be to use your platform to try to do that? Now, that didn't work, but that doesn't stop them from literally every single day trying some sort of psyop in order to try to destroy the country and ruin people for their own personal benefit. I mean, we've seen it also recently with the whole kind of faux controversy at the Olympics with the Algerian boxer. That also was spread by people like Elon Musk, people in Donald Trump's orbit who accused an Algerian boxer who won her match against an Italian boxer of not being a woman, even though

she was born a woman, and they spread all this fake BS about it. It's just constantly flooding the zone with BS. And I think part of this though is going to backfire on them because I really do believe that people are just so exhausted with the BS. I think people are so exhausted of every single day waking up and being like, all right, what are these people complaining about now? I just want to watch the Olympics. I just want to go to the movies. I just want to drink a beer. I just want to do whatever. I don't need to think about your stupid culture war BS every time I do something. I just want to turn on the TV and enjoy my life. And you are invading my life with this BS. I want to be able to watch the Olympics without you doing genital inspections on the boxers. That's weird. Stop it. What are

you doing? I want to enjoy my bud light or whatever it is without you going on your weird conspiracy theories about it because a transgender person once drank a beer in a sponsored social media ad like it's just every single day bs what could we hate what could we make you fear that's their whole goal and they want to tear people down and bring people to their level of hatred and bring people down to their level of like they're just bizarre depression because they know when people are upset, then they turn to the strong man in order to try to – they turn to the strong man in order to feel some sort of power. And that's what they want to put inside of people.

That's what they want to put out there into the world. But I think people are really sick of it because I see when I go out, I see happy people. Like I think people are actually feeling really good about things overall right now. I've gone to, you know, sporting events. When I go to concerts, when I go out, like people seem like they're having a good time. When I look at social media, people are posting videos of them at big concerts and events and stuff like,. I think they just

don't want to have these crazy people in their lives every single day telling them what to do, telling them what to think. I think it's just incredibly invasive, boring at this point, and just really annoying. Look, the stock market had a down day. It was not a good day on the stock market, but it wasn't a crash. It was a bad day on the stock market. If you take a look at this chart right here, and our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski explained, look, this is the stock market from Trump's defeat in 2020 to right now. And so you can take a look. The stock market's up almost 50%. Remember when Donald Trump was making all of these threats? It's up over 12,000 points from when Trump was in office. And remember when Trump was in office, you had empty shelves. There wasn't any toilet paper.

And look, when there are serious issues, for example, like the stock market going down today. By the way, you have that graphic right there. U.S. unemployment was the worst since the Depression when Donald Trump was in office. That's what the headlines were there. Also, Angry Staffer had this graph, which I thought was helpful. I made a helpful chart for those who seem to be confused about stock market performance. Here's Trump and here's Biden. You can see it is significantly higher than Biden.

Look, when we see something happen today, what do I want? What do you want, Ben? Like, what's the productive future? I'd like to now have a conversation with experts and really smart people. And I'd like to know, look, should the Federal Reserve cut interest rates sooner? Was that the smarter play? Is the fact that they're going to cut interest rates in September, is that enough? Should it be 50 basis points, 100 basis points, 25 basis points? What's the best solution here? Let's debate and have a constructive conversation.

Is today's outcome basically just a small adjustment when stocks this year are still significantly higher than they were last year? That's the type of conversation that I want to have. And then I want to get all the possible solutions. And then I want to act in a steady, in a coherent, in a strategic way to be helpful here and to offer solutions and guidance. But what does Donald Trump and MAGA do? Dozens of posts today like this. Donald Trump posts, stock market crashing. Trump cash versus Kamala crash.

Kamala crash. Voters have a choice. Trump prosperity, Kamala crash. Stocks are crashing. This is the Trump, and then you compare it to what he was saying two weeks ago when he was saying, this is the Trump stock market because my polls against Biden are so good

that investors are projecting that I will win. It will drive up the market. That's why the market is doing so well. And so it's just this amateurish, babyish, no offense to babies, fear-mongering behavior that again, that's the opposite of what leadership should be in this situation. They're actively rooting against the stock market. I told you so. And then saying things that aren't true. Look, when Black Monday occurred back in 1987, an actual crash, when Reagan was in office, by the way, it should be noted that it went down, what, 25% to 27% in a single day.

That's not even close to what we're even talking about. But the MAGAs are trying to make that happen. And they're trying to cause pain. And they're trying to cause harm. And it's a real issue that they're trying to do that. And it's really screwed up. And I think we need to call that out at every step of the way. I want to also point out though, the interview that Donald Trump gave today, because I think it also highlights again, how bizarre and problematic it is. Like, take a look. Donald Trump spoke to this guy. His name is Aiden Ross. And Aiden Ross, I always have to learn new things about these cast of characters that Donald Trump's doing these interviews with. Because I'm like, who is this? The other interview was J.D. Vance and the Nelk Boys. And it was like, he's did on weird couches with all these beers around him. Like I have to learn who,

like who are these aren't you always upset to the more you dig. Like when you like learn about who the people are, you're like, Oh, I'm happy. I didn't know who this person was. And now I do. And well,

I, it also is like, okay, but I'm also comforted that I'm like, okay, I'm glad I don't know even who that is. While Donald Trump is racing to be on their podcast. On the one hand, Donald Trump calls someone like George Stephanopoulos, who's like one of the most incredible journalists of

our time. Donald Trump calls him a fake news and slopadopoulos. But let's take a look at who Donald Trump says is a respected journalist. Okay. Here's Donald Trump telling Aiden Ross, you are really respected. You should know that you ross you are really respected you should know that you're you're a respected guy here play this clip well my boys said well that's such a big show i don't know what you're doing but you really are respected amazing i mean i appreciate it and then after saying you're respected aiden ross was just explaining to donald trump the way streaming works and what a streaming app is here let me show you this let's do you so do you know what live streaming is on these platforms?

More or less. Yeah. It's the new wave. It's the new wave. It's the new wave. I'm going to explain it to you, right? So I'm going to show you this chat right now. Let me show you this. So this is the live chat. So you already broke the website in five minutes. Yeah, you broke it. The chat wasn't working, but we ended up fixing it. It's just very slow. Everyone in the chat, say hello. You guys can put hi in the chat. W's mean it's good. W means win. Yeah. Yep. So then Donald Trump talks about in this interview, again, Donald Trump doesn't want to speak with like a George Stephanopoulos. Donald Trump wants to speak to Aiden Ross. Donald Trump spent the interview whining how Trump says that he got booby trapped, he said. He uses the word booby trap. And Trump

said that he got booby trapped at the National Association of Black Journalists. And he blames Rachel Scott, the ABC reporter, for intercepting him and booby trapping him. This is Trump's interview from today with Aiden Ross. Play this. But, you know, you have journalists today like that one that intercepted me. Literally, that was that was like a that was like a booby trap. I walk in and she's saying, we got to start. She didn't say, oh, thank you very much for being here. No, just like the worst. And frankly, if I owned that network, I would fire her so fast.

It was so inappropriate. And I actually, I actually, you know, once you sort of walk out, then you put the guard up and you actually give less information than what you would have if they did it with sugar, right? But she doesn't know about sugar. She doesn't know about sugar, he says, and says intercepted and he got booby trapped. But let's take a look, though, just so you can see. And I want to talk to, because I know there are, you know, people who are still Trump voters who have been told to watch the Midas Touch Network by family members. And just to try it out. And I know that we've changed a lot of minds of Trump voters once they've seen the truth and the facts. So here's what I want you to think about. I want you to think about your kids and I want you to think about your grandkids. And I want you to think about who Donald Trump is saying is well-respected and who Donald Trump is calling a good journalist. Donald Trump is calling Aiden Ross those things. I want you to think about your family and I want you to think about the morals and I want you to think about the values and I want you to think

about the character with which you want to raise kids and grandkids and, and, and your own family. I want you to, I want you to think about that. So here is Aiden Ross and here's how, um, this is his routine that he does. Um, and this is why, you know, he's popular amongst a group of immature 12 year olds basically who watch him. And, um, one of the things he does is he sniffs the chairs so he can sniff the butts of people. And so Andrew Tate, someone who says the most horrific, racist, horrible things, you know, is Aiden Ross's role model. And Aiden Ross then smells the seat so he can smell Andrew Tate's play the clip. You know, I've worked. I'm done. I'll fix you. Where are you going? I'm ready, bro. I'm really going to do this shit. Y'all don't understand, bro. I'm really. And I just want to say, bro.

And then I want to show you here Aiden Ross sniffing the chair of a female guest who appeared. And she was like, ew, that's weird. Here, play this clip. That's even weirder. Let's go. All right, I'm like eye contact with you. Wow. Ew, why are you being so weird? And one more clip I want to show you about this person who Donald Trump says is very well respected is Aiden Ross.

He recently – someone sent him the word fascist. Just watch Aiden Ross when he hears the word fascist and he looks up the definition of it because he wasn't sure what the word fascist was. Here, play this clip. What does a fascist mean? It means you are a far-right authorization. ultra-analytist, oh my God, ultra-analytist, analyst, political ideology movement, characterized by dictator leadership, centralized autocracy, militarism,

forcible suppression of opposition. So I don't know what that means, bro, I swear to God. I don't know what the fuck a fascism is. I don't know what the fuck that is. Benito Mazzulli and Javier Genital and Jason Stanley. Like who the fuck are these people, bro? Never heard of my fucking life. What is an example of a fascist? Yo. All right, bro. See what I'm saying? Chat like this is why I don't fuck with y'all, bro. Like, dude, like this is what the fuck I don't bro. I don't fuck with y'all, bro.

I do not fuck with you guys, bro. That is who Donald Trump says is someone who is very respected. And Donald Trump attacks people like Rachel Scott, who was one of the moderators at the National Association of Black Journalists. And he attacks George Stephanopoulos, who he refers to as Slopidopoulos. But if you want to get into Donald Trump's mind with his third grade nicknames and the name calling and Slopidopolis. But if you want to get into Donald Trump's mind with his third grade nicknames and the name calling and Slopidopolis, I mean, it's right there. I mean, he and Aiden Ross are like the same people when you watch that. It's like it unlocks a lot of things and makes a lot of sense. Like that's actually who he is. And He thinks someone like Aiden is someone who's respected. By the way, under a Trump administration, somebody like an Aiden would get positions of

power over you. That's like Marjorie Taylor Greene's and Laura Loomer's. These people will be making life and death decisions over your family. I want you to think about that. I want you to also think about that when we wrap up our show, we're going to be playing for free against all enemies. It was the number one doc in the country on all of Apple's list, beating all of the main movies at that time, but it was previously paywalled. Now we're offering it for free on YouTube.

Right in the description, the directors and producers will be watching along

with you. So that'll be fun. That'll be really, really cool. We'll be right back after our last quick break. Hey, Midas Mighty.

So they joined forces with some of the top scientists and

functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar with 10 delicious flavors, including three that are plant-based. Each MOSH bar is made with ingredients to support brain health, like ashwagandha, lion's mane, collagen, and omega-3s.

Mosh is now the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium nootropic that supplies the brain with a patented form of cytoclean.

I have like a separate video of me talking about Mosh. So check it out. Just freaking amazing. Okay, before we move on, can I just get in really quick on this, Aiden, like what is going on with the Trump campaign? The entire Trump campaign is like simply just pandering to his base. Like there's no other way to put it. Let's look at Vance, for example. J.D. Vance strategically has to be the single worst VP pick in history of potential VP picks. And why? Well, because he literally brings nothing to the table. Like a good VP pick is supposed to like be a chess move to lock up a state or a

demographic of voters. And the Vance pick just does none of that. He brings nothing. He's already from a state that leans Republican. And the Vance base, it's just like the MAGA status quo. So Vance, he's got no personality. He's in this position for one of two reasons. One, pander to the MAGA base. And two, if elected, do what Mike Pence, quote unquote, didn't have the courage to do. And that's a kind of a freaky thought when you think about it. So what else does Trump do? He shows up on these weird streams that, again, bring nothing to the table. Don't even bring him out of this MAGA bubble

of these chronically online individuals, the Aiden Rosses, the Logan Pauls. Like, okay, fine. I'll concede that they probably have large followings, but they have the same followings, terminally online individuals that already skew MAGA. Quite frankly, they're butt sniffers and they talk to a base of individuals that are like too young to even vote. The Trump campaign is an unmitigated disaster right now. And it could be described in one word, weird. That's it. Well, look, I mean, one of the things I may as well show it now that he was talking about in Georgia, He often taught in Atlanta, Georgia. One of the things he talks about is he goes,

I don't have a guitar, I don't have a guitar, I don't have a guitar, he likes to say. But he says that he gets bigger audiences than Bruce Springsteen. And then he compares himself to Elvis. And he spends a ton of time attacking, just like, what's your point of attacking Bruce Springsteen? Like a widely beloved and very popular musician who actually fills out stadiums.

And Donald Trump is such a path. I mean, I can tell you one of the reasons too. One of the reasons is, is that when Donald Trump was told that his crowd size in New Jersey is far less than Bruce Springsteen's crowd sizes. And one of the reasons among many is that people than Bruce Springsteen's crowd sizes. And one of the reasons among many is that people like Bruce Springsteen get bigger crowds than him. And that like pisses Donald Trump off. So like, here's Donald Trump in Atlanta, like whining about Bruce Springsteen. And it's like, people's like rights and lives and freedoms and social security

and Medicare and healthcare and education and personal safety and freedoms like are all on the line. And Donald Trump's doing this. Here, play the clip. Well, Hillary used to do that too. I remember she got Bruce Springsteen. I'm not a fan. You know, I'm not a huge fan. I only like, I have a bad trait. I only like people that like me. Let me say something. I think Trump is going into every state and I think he's leaving each state, harming his campaign in those states. I almost wish that he would expand, try to expand the map a little bit and try to get out there. But Donald hit every state. I want to see you do a rally in

every swing state, but he's also doing like the most bizarre, Jordy, to your point before, he has the most bizarre campaign schedule right now where he's not even going to states that are going to have any impact on the election. Like beginning on Tuesday, Kamala Harris is embarking on a campaign of the swing state. She's going on a tour. She's hitting seven swing states over five days. She's going to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada. Donald Trump has one event in the next week and it's in Montana. This isn't a serious campaign that we are watching right now. The whole thing is just so completely bizarre. But I'm sure that Donald Trump went into Georgia and left with less support than he had

going in. Who goes into Georgia and then attacks the Republican politician who is like the head of the party in that state, who is a figure who is liked by the party in that state. Imagine for one second, Kamala Harris going to Michigan and spending her entire time at her rally attacking Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Like you can't even fathom something so stupid. And you could think about the ramifications that that would have on a candidate if they did something like that. Well, that's exactly what Donald Trump is doing. And if Georgia wasn't in play a couple weeks ago, it certainly is now. And I think we're going to continue to see Kamala Harris rise there and probably surpass

Donald Trump in the polls in Georgia. Well, look, and this is earlier today, 3.15, my time on the West Coast, J.D. Vance sent out an email. This pick of Kamala pisses me off was the subject. This pic of Kamala pisses me off. Then Ben, when I saw this picture on Twitter, it instantly pissed me off. I mean, that's what he's making. He's making posts about a woman's jewelry now and saying that pisses him off. What are they doing? I mean, quite literally, what in the world are they doing? And they think this is effective. I mean, look, Donald Trump's bragging that Mar-a-Lago is worth $1.5 billion.

And you want to critique and attack the necklace on Vice President Kamala Harris, if that's even the necklace that she's even wearing? I don't even think it's the same necklace. I don't even think that's the necklace that she's wearing, if that's even the necklace that she's even wearing? I don't even think it's the same necklace. I don't even think that's the necklace that she's wearing. It's not even the necklace that she's wearing and then say, that pisses you off? If that's what's pissing you off, you know what pisses me off? I'll tell you what pisses me off. It pisses me off that there are still Americans who live paycheck to paycheck. That's what pisses me off. What pisses me off is that veterans have to continually fight for basic care that they deserve for making the ultimate sacrifices

for our country and that Republicans consistently try to block it. What pisses me off is that the number one cause of death for children are guns and that weapons of war are permitted to proliferate without common sense gun control. Those are the things that piss me off. What pisses me off are things like that, not the necklace of what someone's wearing. That's what they are making their entire campaign about. And it is weird, and it is odd, and it is dangerous. And that's why we keep on saying it, and Vice President Kamala Harris saying, we're not going back. I'll tell you where we are going forward with, though, as well. Donald Trump's criminal cases and civil cases, they're still moving forward. There was a brief lull in them after the Supreme Court's

ruling, but the Supreme Court issued its mandate, which means essentially the Supreme Court order officially got handed down back to the federal court to resume proceedings. And in no time over the weekend, Judge Tonya Chutkan in the Washington, D.C. federal criminal case against Donald Trump for trying to overthrow the results of the 2020 election issued two orders right away, one where she set a status conference and the others where she denied Donald Trump's motions to dismiss on statutory grounds and on other frivolous grounds, like literally within 12 hours denied his motion, set a status conference, moving that case along quickly. We'll see if an evidentiary hearing is going to be set there, like a mini trial, if you will, to address the issues of immunity. Also, Donald Trump's

attempt to remove the remaining parts of the gag order in the Manhattan criminal case where he was convicted on 34 felony counts. That was denied by the appellate division. And they're like, Donald, you're a convicted felon, buddy. You haven't been sentenced yet. The proceedings are not over. Convicted felons don't just walk into the appellate division and ask us for favors so you can keep on attacking the judge's family members. That's the remaining part of the gag order that Donald Trump wants to be removed. Trump can talk about the jury now. He can talk about witnesses. He just can't attack the judge's daughter and other district attorney staff and family members. But that's what Trump is making all of these appeals over. He needs to

attack them now. The appellate division's like, go away. And then Donald Trump sought the recusal of Justice Mershon, the judge presiding over the Manhattan criminal case. Donald Trump said, now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee, he didn't say that in those nice terms that looked like the ranting and ravings of a lunatic when you read it. He goes, now you must recuse yourself, Justice Mershon, to which the Manhattan District Attorney's Office responded, what? What are you talking about? You've tried this three times already. No, go away. It's vexatious and frivolous. I want to turn it over to you, Brett, but I want to remind everybody as well, we'll tell you for the first time, we're going to hold our monthly Zoom on Thursday.

If you ever wanted to meet me, Brett, and Jordy together following next week's, following this Thursday's live. So after it ends. So right around 9.15 Eastern, 6.15 Pacific, we'll have the link on our Patreon. We'll go into a Zoom chat where we'll have a meeting. You can ask us questions. We'll answer all of your questions. And the link, the secret link, will be on our Patreon, patreon.com slash MidasTouch. And we look forward to meeting all of you at the next Zoom meeting.

And we don't have outside investors. So that's one of the ways we build this independent media platform. Brett, tell us what else is up. Yeah. And I'll say we're going to be posting that soon. So keep a lookout on our Patreon at Patreon.com slash MidasTouch. Can't wait to chat with all you. I want to talk briefly about Trump freaking out over these bad polls. You know, I don't love going with the day to day polling and everything, but I do like seeing trends and I do like seeing Donald Trump have a meltdown. So I enjoy speaking about this particularly because Donald Trump has actually not led in any sort of legitimate national poll now in over a week, and there's starting to be a massive amount of panic in the Trump world. There's been rumors about if he's going to get rid of one of his campaign

managers. We saw Kellyanne Conway. Of all people, they're bringing back the old characters, folks, in with Donald Trump, meeting with him the other day. He's losing in all the major polling averages now, whether it's 538. Also, Nate Silver's model, which is separate. He's not a part of 538 anymore. Even a real clear politics, which skews to the right because of the way the polls that they use. He's losing in all those. Kamala's now up in a lot of these state polls. And Trump, who used to say every second, I'm leading in every poll by a lot. All the polls are real. All the polls are great. I'm leading in every poll by a lot. And that's why they're coming after me. Now he's releasing these panic statements being like, the polls are all fake. They're all fake polls, fake data, fake numbers. And it shows you just

the much different place that we are in this race. And we've seen some of the panic moves behind the scenes with Donald Trump to try to, I guess, try to get people back on board. I don't know, because his policies are so toxic. And one of the things that has really, really crushed the Trump campaign was people finding out about Project 2025. And when people learn about Project 2025, they hate the ideas in it. And so the more they learn, the more they hate the ideas, and they know that it's Donald Trump's plan. They know that it was designed for Donald Trump by Donald Trump's people. Something like 80% of the people involved in Project 2025 have worked for Donald Trump's administration. They sponsored the Republican National Convention, the Heritage Foundation, who makes Project 2025. Trump has talked to these people.

And Trump, a couple of weeks ago, tried to throw the Project 2025 people under the bus publicly and try to be like, what? Project 2025? We don't know anything about that. And then they fired one of their directors of operations. And it's like, wait, because Donald Trump told them to. And it's like, wait a second. You had nothing to do with that. How did Donald Trump get you to fire your people? It sounds like there must be some ties there. I'm just saying. And now, so what they're doing, and guess what? We caught them. The media has caught them. Donald Trump and the Project 2025 team are trying to launch a secret plan, but their secrets have been exposed. The architect of Project 2025 is this guy, he goes by the name Russell Voigt, or Voigt, or Voigt. He's the architect of Project 2025 is this guy. He goes by the name Russell Voigt or Voigt or Voigt. He's the architect of Project 2025. Remember, Trump claimed he does not know this. I do not

know what this Project 2025 is. Well, he's now working on another secretive plan, which is Project 2025, basically with a different name. And they're calling it the 180-Day Transition Playbook. And it is for Donald Trump, and it is designed to speed up Project 2025's implementation and to try to avoid all that chaos that Donald Trump had in the start of his first term. And I would extend it to, it wasn't just the start of his term. Donald Trump's entire term was just full of chaos. It was just bedlam the entire time. But it shows you that they're freaking out, but the things that they are saying publicly are still not the things that they're doing privately. They're still trying to push Project 2025. It is still identical to the Trump agenda. And Trump has his agenda,

which his people always like to go, Project 2025 is in Trump. Trump's agenda is Agenda 47. When you read Agenda 47, Agenda 47 is like the same thing as Project 2025. They share like all the same ideas. It's just like Donald Trump, like everything. His butt sniffers. Yeah, his butt sniffer. He's upset that he didn't get his butts sniffing all over it. I don't know what the heck's going on. But oh my gosh, weird times, weird people, dangerous people.

But I see that hope is winning. And you see the hope in these crowds when you look at the Kamala Harris rallies in Atlanta compared to Donald Trump's. You see the optimism. You see the shift in the energy. And guess what? Donald Trump's not going to recalibrate by doing the right thing. He is going to continue to harm himself by doing crazier and crazier and crazier things, which is going to remind people, especially those voters in the middle, how insane he is. And this Aiden Ross thing, the butt sniffers, all this stuff is just reminding people. And to Jordy's point, it ain't bringing in new voters, but it's certainly pushing the voters that he needs to win away. Man, what a great episode, guys.
