Donald Trump just erupted on the White House lawn as he was heading out to travel to Nebraska, where MAGA Republicans are trailing in Nebraska before the midterms. Donald Trump erupted on the White House lawn as everything is falling apart. Numerous developments since the last video we released here on the Midas Touch Network. I want to share with you first. Another tanker has been struck by the IRGC in the Strait of Hormuz. we see that tanker on fire right now. Video is released showing the damage that's been done there.

UKMTO is confirming this tanker was struck. The U.S. has now issued a security alert for Saudi Arabia. As Ansarala, the Houthis, continue to strike deep inside Saudi Arabia. In the Jeddah oil facility, a Saudi Aramco refinery in Jeddah right by the Rabig area, we see a refinery on fire. In Riyadh, we see a refinery looks to be on fire there. Also, smoke rising by the Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia. The Trump regime has not responded, as we're now counting,

between 12 to 15 tankers have been struck in the straight of Hormuz in the past seven days. So why is the Trump regime not striking back? There could be a lot of reasons for it, but I think chief among them, the U.S. is out of munitions, out of interceptors, out of offensive capabilities. One of the U.S. aircraft carriers that was part of the so-called blockade. The USS George H.W. Bush has left the blockade. It is now in Pouquet, Thailand. The only remaining carrier is the USS George Washington, and it's more than a thousand kilometers deep outside in the Arabian Sea,

from where the Gulf of Oman, from where the Strait of Hormuz, is and Iran is just mocking Donald Trump in the Trump regime right now. The Iranian embassies are posting photos like this. Look, everybody, Donald Trump fix the world's fuel price problem. And it shows the kind of cursory way that Donald Trump is involved in this market manipulation, which ain't impacting the treasury yields and ain't impacting the price of crude. Certainly ain't impacting the price of diesel and gas you're paying anymore. Iran's embassies are posting photos like this. This was a speech that Hegesith gave this weekend with the exact same kind of scenery and background that Hitler would use when Hitler would give speeches. And Iran writes two bodies, one soul. It's a photo of Hegsteth next to a photo of Hitler.

So then Donald Trump, he rushes out of the White House. He's heading to Nebraska to give a speech there this evening, just like the deranged speeches he gave in Dayton at the high school or in Oklahoma or in Mobile, Alabama, or in Texas. and Donald Trump was asked about, it was one of the reports we did earlier this morning on the Midas Touch Network and others covered it as well, Donald Trump removed all 12 B-1 bombers from the Royal Air Force Base in Fairford.

So a reporter asked Donald Trump, what was the threat that prompted you to remove all of those B-1 bombers from the Royal Air Force Base? Listen to what he says here, play this clip. What was the threat that prompted you to move those planes out of you? So we had an idea that there might be a threat, and why would I leave them there? It cost very little money to move them, you know, relatively closely.

But, no, we had a threat, and if we're going to be threatened, we would just move them, and that sort of alleviates that. And we actually know the people that made the threat, and they've got themselves sort of a big trust. They would be linked to Iran. So he claims that it is Iran that was in Iran that was in Iraq. involved in the threat over there, and that's why you removed all of the B-1 bombers. What was the threat? And we know, what, two weeks ago, there were five individuals who were arrested by the Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, and it was claimed that they were involved in

terroristic activities, but they were released on bail by the UK. They didn't have explosives on them. Apparently, it was one of them who actually called the police, and so there were a lot of red flags there. And by the way, the intelligence that Iran was going to do something regarding this Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, according to Axios and Donald Trump's personal stenographer over there, Barack Ravid, that intelligence about an imminent attack came from. Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, who has been trying to do anything in order to escalate the war in Iran before the Israeli elections. And we've learned that Israel is trying to think about how it can strike Iran before those Israeli elections. Donald Trump was asked about the surging price of diesel

hitting new records, the surging price of gas. And then Donald Trump blames the Ukrainian strikes on Russia as being the main reason why the price of diesel is so high. So Trump is blaming a war in Ukraine that he promised he would resolve in 24 hours after the election in 2024, which was completely fraudulent representation by him. And he's saying that's the reason not the catastrophic war that he claimed he would resolve in four to six weeks back in late February, early March, the catastrophic war in Iran where he slaughtered little girls in Manab and Lemaire. Listen to what he says here. I play this clip. They are causing a lot of problems. The lack of refineries in the problem. We have tremendous amounts of oil coming out of the hormone straight.

We have that so good. But we have a lack of refinaries because of the war having to do mostly with diesel. Then, of course, Donald Trump rants and raves like a lunatic attacking Canada, where he says they treat us very badly. We caught them in the act. We caught, no, it's always projection and confession with Donald Trump. What happened is Canada caught Trump in the act, sending mega-political options. in the past several weeks into Alberta.

And this has actually been happening before that, but there was a big story about it in Canada over the weekend. Trump is sending the MAGA operatives to provide election software and other intelligence to the separatists movements in Alberta in order to try to encourage secession from Canada. So when Trump's like, we caught Canada, no, Canada's intelligence caught the Trump regime basically trying to encourage, which he's doing publicly secession of Alberta. Here play this clip. I don't know. Canada, Canada behaves very

badly with the United States and I don't know. We've caught them in the act. They charge us a lot of tariffs that nobody knew about except me and it'll work out eventually, but I don't know about, I'm in no rush. You know, Canada is all their business with us. We do very little business with them. And all we ask of one thing of Canada, They have to be honest. They are not honest with the United States. They've been ripping us off for years. Yeah.

And it's so critical that we pay close attention to the predatorial tactics of the sex predator throughout the Western Hemisphere, Trump regime's interference in the Brazil elections, propping up Flavio Bolsonaro's son in that election. And then all throughout South America, Central America, Mexico, the Trump regime is involved in regime change involved in sending U.S. troops, involved in trying to overthrow any leaders that are not MAGA puppets, essentially. Donald Trump is then asked, are you going to ease limits on red-dye diesel for farmers? And Trump basically has no clue what this even means. Let's play this clip. I'm no epic. Sorry. For red-dye diesel, for American farmers. Are you considering easing limits on red-dye-diesel?

We are doing a lot for the farmers. The farmers have been with me from day one. I've made the farmers a lot of money. We've given them a lot and we help them a lot. And the farmers are with me all the way. In fact, I'll be going to Iowa very soon. And today I'm going to Nebraska for our farmers. Mr. President.

I'll be helping with diesel. Mr. President, are you open? Are you open for... Donald Trump is then impressed about how many reporters are there covering him. And he says, is this a bigger... crowd than normal? Am I just so hot? Here, let's play this clip right here. What was the threat that is this a bigger crowd than normal or what? Am I getting hotter? What's going on right here?

He's a president. Another question that Donald Trump gets asked is, well, what's your view about the Saudis and Yemeni counterattack and offensive against the Houthis, although I think some people can have some questions about what's the attack, what's the counterattack? In any event, we're seeing Ansarala, the Houthis, make major advances. Now they're moving east after taking up all of Western Yemen, including the Bob El Mondeb Strait. We're seeing Saudi Arabia strike back hard. We're seeing massive escalation in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia just activated the so-called Mecca pact with Pakistan and Turkey. Saudi Arabia claimed

that its PLC-backed forces took back control of Al-Mocca, the city-rival. by the Bob El Mondeb Strait, that Port City right there. But then the Houthis released a video showing themselves in Al-Mocca and saying, look, we're here. Saudi Arabia's PLC doesn't control it. So this regional war is growing and growing. Iran striking tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The United States is out of munitions, aircraft carriers in Phuket, Thailand.

So what's up, Donald? And Trump's like, it'll all work out. Just trust me, everything will work out. Here, play this clip. about the Saudis and Yemenis counter-attack on offense against the Houthis. It'll all work out in very long. It's going to work out very much. Now, as I've said before, not only was this war criminal filled with war crimes, catastrophic,

we should never have been involved in this war in the first place. It's also been carried out with Trump's trademark incompetence and recklessness. And so as the Trump regime in Hegsseth have purged our top generals, and admirals, we don't even have strategists who can really think through what's happening here. And so it's just been disastrous all around. And by the way, motion Razai, who is Iran's top advisor to Ayatollah Mojtabha Khomeini. He said something like the computational errors by the United States continue to mount. And their next computational error will be met by a shabotabok.

strong response that they've never seen before. Just interesting, the words used were computational errors and how Iran sees just the technical implementation of war strategy and war tactics is completely lacking by the Trump regime. And when I've spoken to people in Iran or interviewed them here, that's one of the things that, or even when I spoke to the Houthi reporter, Hussein al-Bukhati, they said, we're just surprise that like the tactics are not like smart military tactics in any event I digress. Donald Trump is then asked, do you think that you could hurt Republican candidates by traveling to all of these states that you're going to? And Trump responds and says, I do. I do think so.

Okay, so you're admitting you can hurt them. But then Trump's like, no, I'm actually helping them. Wherever I go, they get a major bump. Here, watch for yourself. Let's play it. I do. I think when I travel there, then numbers go way up. We have massive crowds. We have another sold-out crowd today. We went to Ohio. We went to Texas. We went to Oklahoma. We're going to Michigan. We're going all over the country. And we have another massive sold out. They say the lines are, it's already sold out. So, you know, when I go there, they pick up a lot of steam. When I go there, they win. And that's what I'm doing. So then Donald Trump calls the pneumonic plague in Russia in the Siberia area.

He calls it the pneumonia plague. I mean, to be fair, the pneumonic plague creates pneumonia-like symptoms and kills. But Donald Trump says it does concern him a lot. He's very concerned. But first, he says they call it pneumonia, pneumonia. They call it pneumonic plague. To be fair, it causes these pneumonia-like symptoms. But play this clip.

What is the U.S. going to do about the risk of pneumonic plague coming from Russia? Well, we're looking at it very strongly. We just heard about it. And they call it pneumonia. And pneumonia, you know, years ago you could treat pneumonia easier. The microbes and the germs have gotten stronger disproportionately. But we'll help them. We'll help them.

And then a reporter says, are you concerned about that outbreak? And he goes, yeah, I'm definitely concerned about the pneumonia play. Here play this clip. become relatively stronger than they were. And things that used to work with pneumonia don't work as well anymore. So we'll help. Anybody that has their kind of a problem,

we'll always willing to help. And then a reporter asks him, so talk to us about your declining approval with Latino voters. And we see Latino voters moving far away from Donald Trump in Texas and in, I mean, really across the country. And Trump's like, not true, your fake news.

Here, let's play this clip right here. What there? What, what, what, what? What's your briefings with Latino voters that's dropped out? Oh, I'm doing great. No, no. You got my poll, your fake news. You're CNN, your fake news.

My poll numbers are great. And all you have to do is look at the crowds we're drawing. And every time I leave, that candidate will be losing. And by the time I leave, they're winning. No, CNN poll numbers are fake. And your whole outfit is fake and so are you. They're not. They don't know.

We don't let us back. We don't know. Now, Iran's president put out the following statement as well. Our problem with the United States is that every time we come to the negotiating table, war is immediately imposed on us. So far, they have attacked us three times after talks, and this shows that they are not seeking dialogue. Negotiations with an enemy that carries out assassination, sanctions,

pressure and threats, while repeatedly breaking agreements have no meaning. Every time inspectors have come to, Iran, our nuclear facilities and scientists have been identified, after which those facilities were bombed and our scientists were assassinated. Hit subscribe.
